I Have a God Simulator

Luh Yao moved his mouse over the [Deep Sea Stone Spirit].

The screen displayed a prompt.

[Do you wish to summon the Deep Sea Lord?]

[Yes][No]

Luh Yao clicked "Yes."

For him, the passive effect of slowly generating an All-Purpose Stone was far less valuable than having immediate combat strength.

’Any wage-earner knows that cash is king.’

’Promises like "the future is yours" are worth less than a hot meal.’

Just then, a pillar of light shot out from the Deep Sea Stone Spirit, forming a ring of light on the ocean’s surface.

Luh Yao discovered he could adjust the light’s arc and direction with his mouse.

’Looks like it’s a beacon for the Deep Sea Lord.’

Suddenly, a thick fog spread over the sea, and from within the mist, a black island slowly emerged. The island was covered in coral and jagged rocks, and there was a shipwreck overgrown with seaweed, as if a piece of the seabed had risen to the surface.

The floating island slowly came to a halt over the Deep Sea Stone Spirit’s beacon. From beneath it, five broad, soft, red limbs extended, revealing themselves as the island’s true body.

The Deep Sea Stone Spirit flew onto the island and merged with it.

Above the island, a name appeared: [Deep Sea Lord].

But just then, Luh Yao furrowed his brow.

’This Deep Sea Lord looks a little like... what’s-his-name? What was it again?’

He closed his eyes and thought hard.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind!

’Isn’t this just a giant Pai Daxing?’

The moment the image of Pai Daxing popped into his head, the [Deep Sea Lord] lost all its intimidating presence. Its form even started to seem rather goofy.

Luh Yao opened its panel.

[Sea Fortress LV2]

...

Luh Yao read the Deep Sea Lord’s description word by word.

It had no Sixth Dimension data. This meant it was still categorized as a monster.

The Deep Sea Lord’s level was very high, and its attack and defense were balanced.

It wasn’t severely specialized like the Blood Knight, who had overflowing damage but a defense stat that was only half of its attack. However, its speed was even slower than the Blood Knight’s.

But the Deep Sea Lord’s advantages were equally prominent; it possessed outstanding sustainability and underwater combat capabilities.

[Water Element] and [Submerge] were both excellent skills for long-term marine operations.

[Deterrence] was even more of a Divine Skill for dealing with assaults from large groups of low-level enemies.

The last two abilities, [Deep Sea Recruitment] and [Sea Fortress], were a two-in-one combo that complemented each other. The more and stronger the sea creatures it could recruit, the stronger Klau’s Combat Power would be.

Truly worthy of the name Deep Sea Lord.

The only problem was that the Deep Sea Lord had no dialogue box, making communication impossible. Intellect-wise, it was in an even heavier weight class than the Blood Knight—purely instinct-driven.

Isabel’s attempt to communicate with it was a complete failure.

Dinar said that the Deep Sea Lord itself was a creature that did not belong to this world.

The Undersea Walker race viewed the Deep Sea Lord as a Water Battle Beast, and also as the Sea Guardian God for their entire Race.

However, controlling the Deep Sea Lord Klau was not difficult.

If Luh Yao didn’t interact with it, it would simply float on the surface as an island, holding firmly in place like an ordinary islet.

When Luh Yao selected it, used [Manual Mode], and right-clicked a direction and route, the Deep Sea Lord would carry the island and move across the ocean following the mouse. The corresponding skill bar would appear on the right side of the screen.

Luh Yao had originally planned to have the Deep Sea Lord find the other treasure, [Aegir’s Fire]. But with its purely instinct-driven, tool-like nature, it was clearly incapable of executing complex tasks.

Lacking sufficient clues, he would have to take his time with this matter.

Finally, Luh Yao dragged the Deep Sea Lord near the island of the [Dark Abyss] and switched it to "Auto Mode." It then floated quietly on the water’s surface, serving as a large fortress holding its position at sea.

...

Luh Yao leaned back in his chair and stretched.

Recently, he had been tinkering with the Extraordinary Power side of things and hadn’t paid much attention to the situation with the Garlic Tribe.

Come to think of it, if Yulian hadn’t insisted on exploring Mingyue Island, there would have been no All-Purpose Stone, and the Deep Sea Stone Spirit wouldn’t have led to the Deep Sea Lord.

Today, the Garlic Tribe revered the spirit of exploration and was accustomed to adventure. After two generations of effort and change, they were no longer timid and were filled with curiosity and a desire to explore the entire world.

Luh Yao looked toward the Western Continent.

After he dragged his view back, a dense cluster of notifications popped up on the screen.

[Senji has invented iron tools.]

[The Garlic Tribe has learned the Iron Refining Technique.]

[The Garlic Tribe has learned how to use iron.]

[Shang Li has invented the wheel.]

[The Garlic Tribe has learned how to make and use wheels.]

[Shang Li has invented the camel cart.]

[The Garlic Tribe has learned how to make and use camel carts.]

[Yulian has invented arithmetic.]

[The Garlic Tribe has learned to use arithmetic. Everyone’s intelligence has slightly increased.]

...

The tribe was progressing faster than Luh Yao had expected.

The once-simple, primitive tribe had already built straight, clear stone-paved streets, with houses of wood and stone lining both sides of the roads.

Camels pulled two-wheeled and four-wheeled carts along the roads, making intermittent stops. The little carter figures would unload cargo from the carts and then load new goods on.

The road started from the eastern docks, ran north to the Hunter’s cabins in the forest, and west to the Salt Pool Settlement beyond the mountains. Only the road south was too far, and the little people were still in the process of building it.

Although it still couldn’t compare to the historic Saniluo City, the Garlic Tribe already had the makings of a city.

Luh Yao glanced at the upper-right corner.

Population: 19,802 Faith: 3,119

The biggest recent growth among Believers had been ordinary people.

After merging with the Salt Pool Tribe and the East Sea Clan, the Garlic Tribe’s population reached 8,000, further narrowing the gap with the number of Ghost Soul Believers.

Of note was the bloodline talent of the East Sea Clan and the East River Tribe: rapid reproduction led to rapid population growth. The only downside was that as the little people interbred and became more of a Mixed Blood over generations, this talent was also rapidly weakening.

The entire tribe was internally stable and had control over the surrounding seas. Coupled with abundant food and an enterprising spirit among the populace, the little people’s civilization had entered a period of rapid development.

Luh Yao began to consider what to grant as his next Blessing.

The little people were developing in a balanced way and working hard to acquire more resources, but something was still missing. Without that final push, the entire civilization felt stagnant, their thinking not lively enough.

’What exactly is missing...?’

Luh Yao paced back and forth in his room.

Suddenly, it hit him.

Entertainment.

The Garlic Tribe lacked any form of entertainment.
