To ascend, I had no choice but to create games - Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Chapter 166: Prison Break in Progress (Part 2)_1

Although he had an inkling, Liuzi still asked, “Do you know about the things that happened recently?”

“You mean the attack your Squirrel Spaceship launched on Lady Tragedy?”

Liuzi was quite surprised as he looked at the other party, feeling that they didn’t seem like someone who would know about it.

After all, “Space Navigator” and “Squirrel Spaceship” shared the same worldview and even the timeline was sequentially linked, so if the other party knew, they should understand how terrifying a force the squirrels now were.

Some of the races that had been beaten now suffered from squirrel PTSD, claiming they weren’t afraid, yet their legs were trembling and their trousers would be slightly wet.

The old mouse, however, looked at the squirrel and solemnly said, “I know about it, and I’m very sure, this is a trial from the Gods.”

“…Oh.”

“The Gods are invincible, this must be their arrangement. Only those who are not devout believe that the Gods can be defeated. Only we, the faithful, can see through the nature of the trial, understand the intentions of the Gods, and strengthen our faith.”

“Oh…”

Those who deal in faith are a bit problematic, especially old mice like these that want to use others’ brains for art – their own brains don’t work properly.

The truth gets all muddled, and then they use their own logic to come up with an explanation that seems plausible but is actually far from it, which rendered Liuzi even more speechless.

Such individuals tend to be particularly stubborn and cling to their own theories because that’s all they have left.

When dealing with such individuals, don’t bother trying to convince them; they are beyond help.

Noticing that Liuzi had stopped speaking, the old mouse seemed convinced that Liuzi had been silenced by his arguments and appeared even more smug.

Shaking the scepter in his hand, he pointed at Liuzi and said, “Take him down, lock him up with that fellow from before. I need to bathe and pray, to beseech the Goddess of Art for her pity. After I have finished praying, I will turn him and that fellow into my artistic assistive robots.”

Observing the three guards, Liuzi noticed that they were fully armed, wearing armor made of numerous chips assembled together, linked by force fields making it extremely light yet with formidable defensive capabilities.

Not only that, they also had various weapons, and through the feedback from his glasses, Liuzi confirmed that he could potentially defeat them one-on-one, but against three, there was only failure.

Consequently, he obediently disarmed himself, was escorted into the elevator, and then taken to a certain floor in the middle, where he was locked up in a force field cage.

His equipment had already been searched when he was locked up, but player equipment was a bit different. It seemed that they didn’t consider that players had their own exclusive backpacks where items had no weight and were invisible to others.

Besides being a little cramped, there were no other drawbacks.

Since he still had his equipment, Liuzi was not concerned about his armaments; instead, he began to observe his surroundings.

This level within the tower was all cages, even if only a circular cage with a diameter of ten meters, it was quite spacious for a hedgehog.

Because of the force field, his connection with Delta was blocked, and he couldn’t even call for help.

The cage was divided into several compartments, each large enough to accommodate two hedgehogs, and the compartment he was in already had one hedgehog.

The other stood idly by the window, presumably a Northeastern hedgehog by its shape, but it looked rather bare and cold with no quills.

Hearing someone coming in, it immediately turned to glance at Liuzi at the door, then turned back around, staring blankly into the distance.

Though feeling the other was not adept at communication, Liuzi still asked in a friendly manner, “Hello, what did you do to end up here?”

“My Priest wanted to turn me into his artistic assistive tool.”

“Your Priest?”

“Yes, I’m the reincarnation of the Goddess of Art, but no one believes me.”

Looking at the hedgehog in front of him with barely any quills, Liuzi couldn’t help but think of the previous Goddess of Art and then admitted he didn’t believe either.

Seeing the skepticism on Liuzi’s face, the Goddess of Art sighed, picked up some paper and a pen nearby, and began to draw for Liuzi.

The movements were earnest and swift, focused and gentle, completing a new piece in almost three minutes and presenting it to Liuzi.

“See, I guarantee there’s no one in this era with artistic talent like mine.”

Squinting for a while, Liuzi firmly said, “Kindergarten level.”

“What kindergarten?”

“Kindergarten senior class.”

The Goddess of Art across from him instantly flew into a rage, throwing the pen at Liuzi while yelling, “Then you do it!”

Catching the pen mid-air, Liuzi stared at the Goddess of Art for a while, and then decisively replied.

In the past few days, he had been drawing day and night, and his animal portrait skills had improved significantly. It took only a few minutes to complete the drawing, producing a portrait of the unclothed, quill-less Goddess of Art and presenting it before her.

“…F*ck!”

Shaking, the Goddess of Art held the drawing, her tiny paws constantly touching the paper while she murmured, “Amazing, it’s so risqué! I mean it’s so risqué, amazing!”

“Isn’t that the same thing?”

“Why does such a magnificent work exist? A lot of the previous artworks have been tainted and destroyed, and I haven’t seen new art in so long. This is really incredible, why do such good things exist? Ah, the Main God was right, coming down here wasn’t bad, without coming down, I wouldn’t have seen something so wonderful.”
