I Have a God Simulator

Tomorrow, he would have to leave home and return to the city where he worked.

Luh Yao didn't want to go to sleep too early.

It was strange. Before coming back, he had considered finding an excuse not to come home for the New Year to avoid his family's matchmaking attempts and nagging. But now that he was back, he didn't want to leave so soon.

Compared to his cramped and cold rental apartment, home was much warmer and more comfortable. Every day, he lived a life of ease, with meals served to him without him lifting a finger.

But Luh Yao was sure that if he stayed home for too long, he would definitely want to escape again.

Humans were just such contradictory creatures.

For his last night, Luh Yao decided to spend it with the Energy Staff.

He poured himself a cup of instant coffee and looked at the simulator.

...

Ever since the dawn of the Extraordinary Era, the little pixel people had become exceptionally proactive. This proactivity manifested as both a thirst for knowledge and a drive to explore the Extraordinary World.

More and more little people were enrolling in Puji Divinity College to study, which led the Divinity School to expand further, even establishing its first branch campus in Yan City.

The number of people who could pass the exams to become official Scholars was still small, but it allowed many more to receive a general education, which in turn raised the overall literacy of the little pixel people.

On the other hand, an increasing number of people began to venture into the territories of Extraordinary Life forms.

This caused the death rate of his Believers to spike in a short period, and the population growth rate in the upper-right corner slowed down.

Luh Yao saw it with his own eyes.

Several little people snuck into the volcanic region created by [Aegir's Fire], whether to cross it or enter the volcano itself, he couldn't tell. They were attacked by highly territorial Fire Elemental Creatures and wiped out in an instant.

On the Northern Continent, a team of daring Hunters tried to hunt a lone, weak Ice Giant Monster. In the end, they were the ones chased all over by the Giant Monster, suffering heavy casualties.

In the south, some Adventurers tried to capture Little Elves with bug nets and Pottery Jars.

The Elves could sense each other, so at the slightest hint of danger, they would call their friends for help. The Adventurers were the ones who ended up being captured instead. These captives could have friends or family pay a ransom to regain their freedom. Those who couldn't afford it had to stay in the south and plant fruits and vegetables for the Elves as penance...

Just as Luh Yao was observing this slice of life among his little pixel people, Isabel suddenly sent an alert.

"Lord, I've found an abnormal creature."

Isabel flew on her Magic Staff all the way to a cave south of Saniluo.

Inside the cave entrance was a blob of pixels.

Luh Yao frowned at the sight.

'Abnormal Interference?'

The pixelated mass inside slowly squirmed, inching its way out. It turned out to be a LV12 Sand Worm. For some reason, its body flickered in and out of existence, intermittently covered in pixels.

Luh Yao used [True Sight Curse].

In addition to an [Abnormal Interference] entry, the Sand Worm also had an [Alien] title.

This made Luh Yao feel it was a bit of a shame.

The last [Alien], Fabiani, had become an Archaeologist and spearheaded the establishment of the Marvelous Museum.

An Alien Sand Worm might also evolve into something very promising.

Unfortunately, for the sake of safety and stability, he could only hand it over to the Cleaner Fish to be dealt with.

Just as Luh Yao was about to open his Artifact Bar to summon the hamster, he suddenly noticed a small, blue creature next to the Sand Worm.

It was a Little Fishman named [Yu Gu], only 14 years old, carrying a wooden bucket on its back.

Yu Gu cautiously stroked the Sand Worm's coarse body, a dialogue box appearing above its head.

"You have to keep trying! Push that thing out, push it out, and you'll be back to normal. Shaker, you've got to push hard!"

It hauled over a wooden bucket from the side and dumped its contents onto the ground.

Inside the bucket was a yellowish-green, mushy substance.

"Eat it, hurry up and eat! If you eat this, you'll be able to push it out!"

"It took me a long time to collect this Corrupter waste and the urine of cows and sheep... After mixing it all up and adding some Sour Tree Raspberry juice and honey, it becomes the best laxative and emetic! When Fish People get food poisoning, this is what we use. It works like a charm."

Even as an observer, Luh Yao could feel the pressure just looking at that pile of pixelated goo.

'Also, how in the world did they figure out this recipe?'

A sweat-drop emoji appeared over the Sand Worm, Shaker's, head, and its body shuddered.

But in the end, it steeled itself, moved closer, and swallowed the stuff on the ground.

With another shudder, the Sand Worm vomited up a huge pile of things, including many rocks, shells, and wood fragments.

"Looks like the dose wasn't enough."

The Little Fishman declared, "I'll bring more waste next time!"

The Sand Worm frantically shook its head in protest.

After a moment's hesitation, Yu Gu opened the wooden bucket on its back, scooped out a spoonful of liquid, and fed it to the Sand Worm.

A dialogue box immediately appeared over the Sand Worm's head: "No, no, no!"

"Shaker, don't be so difficult."

Yu Gu grumbled, "If you don't push that thing out, you'll stay sick forever. It's your fault for eating whatever you want, swallowing all sorts of weird things. Only after you get better can we go adventuring outside."

The two of them seemed to be good friends.

Luh Yao decided to wait and see.

If the [Abnormal Interference] was just from accidentally swallowing something, then this rare [Alien] Sand Worm could return to normal as long as the object was removed.

Suddenly, Luh Yao remembered he had a subordinate who could probably perform this procedure.

He immediately summoned Philos.

After observing the situation, Philos said, "Lord Yao God, if it is merely a matter of removing an object stuck in the Sand Worm's stomach, then the Skeleton Worms should have no problem."

The moment Philos appeared, exclamation marks lit up above the heads of both the Little Fishman and the Sand Worm.

"Lord Philos, the King of White Bones!"

"The God is merciful. I am here by the will of Lord Yao God to help you solve your problem."

A smiling face appeared above Yu Gu's head. "That's wonderful! Thank you, Lord God! Thank you, Lord Philos!"

The Sand Worm also lowered its head to the ground, showing its gratitude and humility.

Then, Philos's arm transformed into a swarm of Skeleton Worms that crawled into the Sand Worm's wide-open maw. The Sand Worm's body trembled slightly, as if in some pain.

Soon, a stone coffin covered in pixels was lifted out of the Sand Worm's mouth.

As the stone coffin was removed, the Sand Worm immediately became relaxed and nimble, and the [Abnormal Interference] on its status panel vanished without a trace.

The last time Luh Yao had seen a stone coffin in the Pixel World, Isabel had been inside it.

This made him very wary.

Under the [Eye of True Sight], a status panel appeared on the stone coffin.

...

[King's Immortal Coffin]: A treasure forged by the Rose Kingdom. It allows the King within the coffin to fall into a deep slumber, remaining uncorrupted and immortal until the day of his awakening.

[Abnormal Interference]

...

'An Artifact from the era of the Rose Kingdom, with a King lying inside?'

Luh Yao's interest was piqued.

Isabel and Philos both tried to open the coffin, but neither could. The Artifact itself was imbued with [Abnormal Interference], turning it into a special, unusable substance.

So Luh Yao had no choice but to select [Friendship of the Cleaner Fish] and ring the bell to summon it.

A moment later, the figure of a hamster appeared on the ground.

It trotted over, came to the side of the coffin, and began to gnaw on it. In just a few moments, it had eaten the entire coffin, revealing a pink rose inside.

The simulator displayed a notification.

[The Cleaner Fish has given you a gift.]

[The Cleaner Fish hopes you will continue to help it find related items. It will give you gifts as thanks.]

The hamster scurried away in a flash.

A large image of a new Artifact appeared on the game interface.

It was a black pellet.

...

[Cleaner Fish's Waste]: After devouring countless abnormalities, the Cleaner Fish produces this high-quality fertilizer, which is incredibly tempting to any plant.

A special substance formed by Rule Power. Cannot be enhanced.

...

'So it gave me a lump of High-Level Golden Fertilizer?'

'Not bad.'

'This will come in handy later for cultivating plant-type Extraordinary Species.'

Luh Yao placed it in his Artifact Bar.

Just then, the pink rose on the ground suddenly dissolved into a pink mist, transforming into a man with curly hair wearing pink armor.

"Why can't I see a single rose here..."

The man gazed into the distance, a dialogue box popping up over his head.

The people around him just stared, with question marks appearing over their heads.

"Gentlemen, ladies."

The man inquired, "Excuse me, where is this place? How far is it from the Rose Kingdom?"

"Ah! You are... the legendary Forest Witch, Lady Isabelle Ceroli!"

"I have seen your likeness in portraits at the Court. It's a perfect match. You have not met me, but I have long heard stories about you."

The man in pink bowed to Isabel.

"I am Pinkman III, the forty-sixth King of the Rose Kingdom."

Isabel had no recollection of this name, but she explained the current situation to him.

An exclamation mark appeared over Pinkman's head. "The Rose Kingdom has been destroyed? My queen, my children, my subjects..."

He murmured, "So, the Immortal Coffin could only keep me alive."

"Such audacity, to dare conspire to deceive the King..."

The resurrected King fell silent.
