Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

"So this is the true name of the god." Looking at the name recorded in the book, Lin Yu stroked his chin.

One question has been answered; now it's time for the others.

He continued reading and soon found content related to divine blessings.

"...However, the world is not all light. In the chaos, shadows also arise."

In ancient times, the evil god Nagulos crawled out from the rifts of the abyss. His evil thoughts corrupted living beings, twisted flesh and blood, and created the immortal calamity—the ghouls.

These evil creatures hide in human form during the day and reveal their true form at night, feeding on the flesh and blood of the living.

Its body is protected by the curse of Nagulos, impervious to iron and fire. Even if it is shattered to pieces, its corrupt essence can draw upon the power of flesh and blood to be reborn in the darkness.

"Humanity wailed across the land, and city-states were turned into dead zones. Fear spread like a plague, and despair enveloped the earth."

The five gods, out of compassion for the suffering of all living beings, could not bear to see all creation destroyed by evil spirits.

However, the power of the five gods is too vast, and direct intervention in the mortal world may cause the collapse of the realm.

Therefore, the five gods bestowed the "divine light and blessing," granting mortals the power to combat the calamity of immortality.

"This 'Blessing of Holy Light' is not bestowed upon human beings, but rather upon objects. Any weapon that undergoes this sacred ritual will be imbued with the holy light and power of the corresponding deity, becoming the only 'holy artifact' capable of completely purifying the ghoul's immortality curse and destroying its defiled origin."

"To receive the blessing of the Holy Light, one must carefully follow its principles and perform sacred rites within the sanctuary:"

Ritual: A pure token symbolizing the divinity of the deity to be addressed must be offered to show piety.

Hymns: These are hymns that should be sung in a clear and devout voice, corresponding to the specific deity.

Witness: The ceremony must be conducted under the supervision of a clergyman or in front of an image of the corresponding deity. The clergyman or the image is a bridge to communicate with the divine will.

True Name: At the end of the ritual, the true name of the deity to be invoked must be clearly called out; this is to invoke divine power and bestow blessings.

"After all this time, they still haven't said what the offerings are, but I can find some hymns of praise." The shadow clone muttered.

"The five gods... the sun, the moon, the sky, the earth, and the sea." Lin Yu frowned. "The priest's testimony may take place in front of the corresponding 'idol'."

It seems we still need to find the statues of these five gods.

"Do you have any statues in the church you found?" Lin Yu asked the shadow clone.

The shadow clone recalled for a moment: "Yes, in the main hall of the church, there is a very high altar with a huge stone statue on it, but..."

He paused. "That statue... its head and upper body are mostly destroyed, leaving only the lower body and the base. Can such a statue still be used?"

Lin Yu was also a little troubled because there weren't any statues of gods in the three stone sculptures in the castle's basement.

"Doesn't this say that even priests can do it?" the shadow clone said thoughtfully.

"There shouldn't be any NPCs in this game, right?" Lin Yu shook his head.

"They don't necessarily have to be NPCs. Didn't you say there were two priest-like statues in the basement of that castle? Maybe they're clergy too. Otherwise, there's no reason for the game to have a few useless statues," the shadow clone speculated reasonably.

After listening, Lin Yu thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Maybe we can give it a try then..."

Just as Lin Yu and his shadow clone were immersed in the excitement of solving the puzzle, the one-on-one duel in the market open space was also coming to an end.

The battle between the sunny young man and the raiders was not too intense.

The sunny young man dared to challenge them to a duel, which showed that he was indeed quite strong. He moved with agility, and the elegantly designed longsword in his hand seemed to come alive.

His swordsmanship was clearly superb, indicating long-term training. Although he appeared thin, his strength and speed were by no means lacking, and he almost completely overwhelmed the raider, suggesting that his attributes were not low.

Meanwhile, the sword in the young man's hand and the leather armor, clothes, and accessories on his body were clearly equipment. They looked lightweight, but their actual defense was not bad. Therefore, he was on the offensive against the raiders for almost the entire time.

The raider has been able to hold out until now purely because of a berserk-like skill that boosted his attributes and allowed him to resist the Sunshine Youth.

However, the berserk ability could not last. After the skill's effects wore off, the accumulated wounds on his body began to severely affect his movements, and his breathing became heavy.

"Damn it!" Seeing himself losing ground and suffering a prolonged defeat, the raider's eyes flashed with malice. Ignoring the rules of one-on-one combat, he roared at the crowd behind him, "What the hell are you all standing there for?! Get him! Kill this pretentious bastard!"

However, he was met with complete silence.

His "teammates" behind him looked at each other, but none of them stepped forward.

Some people have even slowly moved forward and blended into the group of sunny young people.

His team had only been formed a few hours ago and was already quite disorganized, so naturally no player would be willing to risk their life for him.

Everyone is just watching the show. If the looters win, they'll be happy to take advantage of the situation and start robbing. If they lose, they can abandon their evil ways and join the side of the sunny youth.

It's just a matter of not robbing, it's not like they're going to die. They don't care, as long as they can survive the game, that's enough. In this situation, naturally, whoever is more powerful will be listened to.

Are there really any fools out there who would risk their lives for a "boss" they've only known for less than a day?

If that's the case, then I'll have to sell you health supplements.

Seeing this, the raider's heart sank to the bottom, and his face turned extremely ugly.

The sunny young man gave him no chance to rest, and his attack suddenly became even more fierce. The tip of his sword was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, aimed straight at the robber's throat, which was exposed due to his rage.

The raider was terrified and rolled away in a panic to avoid the fatal blow, almost dropping his machete.

He panicked completely, knowing the situation was hopeless and that continuing would mean certain death. He screamed hoarsely, "Stop! Stop! I surrender! Here's your stuff back! I'm leaving!"

He wanted to admit defeat and run away.

But would the sunny young man give him that chance? His longsword followed like a shadow, blocking his retreat once more, his voice as cold as ice: "Your actions are despicable, giving me every reason to suspect you are the lurking ghoul. You may admit defeat, but leaving? Absolutely not!"

The young man's words were like igniting a powder keg.

"Yes! We can't let him go!"

"He's definitely a ghoul! He's planning to harm people at night!"

"Grab him! Tie him up!"

"Let's all attack together!"

The players behind the sunny young man were instantly outraged when they saw their leader win the one-on-one match.

Players in the raider group, perhaps to distance themselves or to show their stance, also started shouting and even took a few steps forward, subtly forming an encirclement and completely blocking the raiders' retreat.
