#591 - Lu Yuan actually bullied the "Yelang Clan"
As night fell, Lu Yuan and Hai Luo enjoyed the local delicacies, a kind of dry cheese that tasted quite good, with a mellow milk flavor and a unique sweetness.
I took another sip of fresh goat's milk, which slid across my tongue like silk. At first I tasted the sweetness of grass soaked in morning dew, followed by a rich milky aroma.
Oh, this stuff is good!
"It's not a big deal. I'll just take a look at the local customs and people here and then leave."
"The noble goat milk is pretty good. I wonder how much it costs?"
The reputation of mankind, a single name can overwhelm an entire race.
Even though the Snow Sheep Clan had no idea who Lu Yuan was, they still treated him with great respect, and even asked for whatever he wanted...
After hearing this, the snow sheep leader immediately sent him a large wooden barrel of goat milk, perhaps five or six hundred kilograms.
"No money! No money!"
Lu Yuan sighed and stuffed the wooden barrel into the storage space without any hesitation.
"Then, this gift is for everyone."
"We also hope that all of you friends can come visit us. Your wool and goat milk can be sold for money. Why do you have to stay in this bitter cold place?"
"See the bigger world, and take advantage of this brief period of peace to grow up..."
Lu Yuan and Hai Luo did not stay too long. After resting for a night, they bowed and left without even giving their names.
"Finally sent him away. He didn't ask for much."
The snow sheep all breathed a sigh of relief.
They opened the big box with trepidation and were surprised to find a bag of leaves inside. The leaves contained abundant life energy and were priceless!
"These leaves alone are worth as much as goat's milk and cheese!"
And...a strange big box.
Above is a huge black mirror, composed of countless tiny crystals, and below is a screen that is somewhat similar to a mirror, with several buttons.
A bold young snow sheep pressed a button and then jumped back violently.
Everyone was surprised to find that the screen actually lit up!
An advertisement for the Green Lawn Trading Market was playing inside. A rough voice came out: "Yak thermal underwear, made from the hair of virgin yaks, is excellent for warmth and has passed the Green Lawn Market 90021 international standard. It's only 98.8 yuan per piece. You won't lose money or be fooled! A real clearance sale!"
Finally, the chief of the Yak Clan appeared, raised his thumb, and mooed: "If there are fakes, my Yak Clan will compensate you!"
"If you buy it, you earn it!"
This strange sound, transformed by some divine skill, was understood by many Snow Sheep people.
They all opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths.
If the green grass market wants to grow, it must cooperate with other species.
Advertising like this is also allowed.
As a result, the Snow Sheep Clan was immediately furious!
"Yak?!"
"How did the Yak Man appear in the big box?"
"They were captured and taken to the market as slaves!"
"I'm so ignorant. This is called a TV!" A more knowledgeable snow sheep shook his head and said, "I think I heard about it somewhere."
"This one should be a more advanced one... It seems to be, uh, capable of solar... charging."
He stumbled out a string of nouns.
“This yak is a slave owner!”
Yaks, like them, are a weak race.
What’s even more hateful is that the yak tribe, their mortal enemy, actually went to the trading market... to enjoy themselves.
This made them inexplicably jealous.
Then they had more thoughts: Is it really that good over there?
Can we?
There is a lot of content on TV, even the various commercials make them very interested.
All kinds of cartoons and TV series make them lose their minds and get so excited that they can watch them all night long.
"Can we...really go through?"
"Even if it's just to take a look..."
…
…
Lu Yuan and Hai Luo had no idea that the seeds they sowed would take root and sprout so quickly.
They just do little things.
Continue your happy journey.
This type of TV is called "Jingneng TV" and they brought more than a hundred of them.
It can be charged with solar energy and receive signals from the trading market through telepathic communication. One of them is called the "Thunder Resonance Device", which is the latest product developed by a college student entrepreneurship team.
Therefore, the cost of "Jingneng TV" is not low, at least 200,000 yuan per unit.
You also have to add a little bit of charm, about 0.07 charm.
But as a civilized gift, it is actually not expensive, so just give it - after all, it is a human expense, not paid by Lu Yuan.
"There are still many backward and uncivilized civilizations." Hai Luo leaned against the window, holding her face, "What will happen to their future?"
Even though the trading market has caused such a big turmoil, the Snow Sheep Clan is still cultivating their own fields. If they had not come here, perhaps they would have hesitated for a long time.
"It's normal. Most races are like this. There needs to be an opportunity to push forward." Lu Yuan also shook his head.
"No matter what, our destiny is in our own hands! For things like poverty alleviation, just a little bit of our appreciation is enough."
This is like the Earth era, when big countries have started playing with AI, but small countries are still playing in the mud; big countries have completed the sixth-generation aircraft, but small countries can't even produce machine guns.
In Pangu Continent, the gap between the strong and the weak will only grow larger.
But, so what? Lu Yuan doesn't want to be a saint, he can't save everyone.
The only one who can save yourself is yourself.
…
…
The "Greedy Demon" continued to walk quickly, advancing at least 3,000 kilometers a day, crossing mountains and rivers, and collecting treasures from heaven and earth.
They can collect 0.2-0.5 Lingyun worth of supplies every day, which is a pretty good speed.
Compared to the outside world, the density of extraordinary minerals in the North may be 3-5 times higher.
The second race we visited was called the "Yelang Clan"!
The city of the "Yelang Clan" is extremely remote, filled with poisonous gas, rugged rocks, and all kinds of poisonous snakes and insects.
In addition, the geographical location is in a deep canyon. Even the powerful dwarf civilization, after coming here to investigate once a hundred years ago, held their noses and refused to come here again... After all, no one is willing to live in poisonous gas that can kill people for a long time.
However, on this day, the Yelang clan welcomed two guests from afar.
"Human... I have never heard of you. You may be a nobody. But since you are here, we welcome you. Come on, give you robes and good wine."
These Yelang people have blue-gray skin and are relatively short, generally less than 1.6 meters tall. They wear gorgeous feather clothes and have a single horn on their head engraved with totems from their ancestors. They generally have a unique ability to resist poisons and can feed on all kinds of poisons.
They may be a "second-generation civilization" that uses some totem technology left over from their ancestors.
The leader crossed his legs, looked up, and asked a classic question: "Are humans as powerful as the Yelang tribe? Do you have our fine wine? Have you ever seen our wealth in the outside world?"
Lu Yuan was shocked by his words and couldn't help but take a sip of the wine. It was soaked with various strange poisons and tasted strongly bitter.
But he couldn't answer anything and could only secretly peek at the distressed expression on Conch's face as she sipped her wine.
"With so many of you, don't you ever communicate with the outside world?"
"Humph, we naturally have the corresponding communication tools."
A military advisor picked up a compass-like object, pondered it for a long time, lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, according to the news circulating in the outside world, the human race is stronger than the dwarves. In a gambling fight a month ago, they defeated the dwarves."
"This matter has spread like wildfire."
"That's indeed very strong, but my Yelang clan is not much behind. Didn't my Yelang clan also defeat the dwarves in the anti-poison competition?" The Yelang leader said proudly.
"Human ambassadors, since you have traveled across mountains and rivers, you must be quite capable. Can you demonstrate your skills?"
"Since Your Majesty is interested, I am naturally willing. How about a craftsman competition? I am a human craftsman." Lu Yuan laughed, "Of course I didn't bring any materials, so Your Majesty has to provide them."
Now everyone was excited and lively.
The Yelang tribe has a large number of craftsmen. Thanks to their status as a "second-generation civilization", their craftsmanship has been developed for thousands of years!
Moreover, they are indeed a large clan, so they are so confident.
The high-nosed prince showed an interested expression: "Of course! Ye Shenhua, come here and let the foreigners see our skills."
The craftsman named "Night Myth" raised his head proudly: "Foreigner, I am a master craftsman who created legends! If you think I am bullying the weak, you can let my apprentice play."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Then you will get to see the master's craftsmanship. Although the main purpose is to have a friendly exchange, I suggest that we add some extras."
"If I win, the forged item will be mine."
"If I lose, the forged item will belong to you, how about that?"
The Yelang clan was a little hesitant. Did the other party want to take their materials for free?
But when I think about the materials used in this competition, which are at most average grade, I can afford the loss even if I lose.
Besides, they will never lose!
The emperor patted his chest and said, "Of course... no problem!"
…
The craftsmen's competition lasted a total of three days. The "Night Myth" put in all his strength and used up all his life's skills!
The sound of "ding-dong-dong" was loud all night long.
Lu Yuan first observed for a while and found that the other party's forging technology was somewhat interesting, but not much.
The lack of external communication will indeed lead to a phenomenon called "overfitting".
That is, they are good at creating new things from old items, but when new items appear, they lack creativity.
So Lu Yuan pretended to be very shocked, stumbling around in the city for two days under the pretext of "looking for inspiration" to study the local customs.
Yelang City is quite large, with a complete sewer system and a population of around three million.
There is even an ancient floating fortress!
They actually have some technological capabilities. The technology left by their ancestors can at least allow them to advance to the electrical age. However, the high price of energy means that electricity can only be used in aristocratic places.
In the center of the city is a huge square. In the center of the square stands a tall stone pillar, which is covered with ancient carvings, recording the origin and glory of the Yelang people.
The square is surrounded by markets, with stalls filled with all kinds of goods: fresh fruits and vegetables, exquisite pottery, sharp weapons, and gorgeous clothing.
Oh, by the way, the unique technology of the Yelang people is the breeding of poisonous creatures, including various mutated scorpions, venomous snakes, and even aphrodisiac types!
"This is a godsend bestseller! The Yelang clan is so stupid to stay here. These things can be sold at a sky-high price."
Lu Yuan grabbed them and used them to scare the girl.
"What about your bet? There's only one day left!" Conch is the Zerg princess, so she is naturally not afraid of these things, but she still pretends to be very aggrieved.
"Go back now!"
His competitor, Ye Shenhua, created a rare item and is receiving praise from people around him!
"Craftsman Lu, there is only one day left. Your work is only half done."
"Haha, the customs and habits of your civilization are so charming that I don't want to leave." Lu Yuan was used to bragging about business. "I did find some inspiration."
"Please look forward to it."
…
One day later, Lu Yuan, who had created a "spiritual plant field" and acted cool, left with the girl with a blushing face...
"Life is so lonely, and I've pretended to be lonely again."
"You have a really bad taste. Is it necessary for a master craftsman to bully others like this?"
Conch girl is still too thin-skinned, she always feels that this kind of behavior is very shameful.
As expected, the "Spirit Plant Field" caused a sensation, shocking the local natives - how could such a skill exist in the world? !
As the winner, while these guys were not able to react, Lu Yuan took away his forged item, a "spiritual plant field" (secretly using some anti-entropy elements).
Lu Yuan was very proud and twisted his neck: "There is no other way. The name of this tribe is too weird. I must suppress these guys and let them know that there are always people better than you."
Hai Luo couldn't help but laugh, and pinched Lu Yuan's cheek with her white and tender fingers: "You look more and more like a villain."
Only a group of "Yelang Clan" were left, looking at each other in bewilderment, exclaiming in their hearts "Impossible!"
“Ye Shenhua, how can you just admit defeat?!” Several nobles scolded the stunned craftsman.
"If you insist on claiming victory, we can still get the magical item! If you admit defeat now, we will have nothing!"
"You know shit! How can we, the Yelang clan, do such a despicable thing?" Ye Shenhua is a master craftsman after all, he should have some dignity.
"How can this be despicable? This is for our benefit!"
Ye Shenhua and his group of craftsmen were in such a state of shock that they could not forget it for a long time.
Many people even simply ignored the nobles' reprimands and remained in shock.
"Or bring him back?"
"No, no, if they are stronger than the dwarves, can we really afford to offend them? The dwarves' resistance to poison is indeed not as good as ours, but they are overwhelming in other areas."
It seems that they are not as ignorant as we imagined.
"Your Majesty, they also left gifts."
Everyone hurriedly opened the box and saw the TV inside.
Coincidentally, the content inside was playing the latest research results of the "Spiritual Plant Field".
A female host wrote various symbols on the big screen.
“…We found that the spiritual planting field is more effective for soilless cultivation.”
"Leafy vegetables require more nitrogen, while fruiting vegetables require more phosphorus and potassium. They require lower nutrient concentrations during the seedling stage and higher nutrient concentrations during the flowering and fruiting stages."
“The quality of water used will affect the preparation of the nutrient solution, and hard water areas may need to adjust the calcium and magnesium content.”
The plants in those greenhouses are lush and green.
The dots of green light were obviously the "spiritual plant field" they had just witnessed.
"The next batch of spiritual plant fields will be officially available for sale in a year. The estimated number is 50-100."
"Those who are interested please make an appointment as soon as possible. We will follow the principle of buying one per city and sell at a low price."
"Promote unity and cooperation among major civilizations..."
"Hiss——" These closed guys took a breath of cold air.
You look at me, I look at you, and we are all speechless.
"Your Majesty, those two humans are about to leave the city. Will it be too late if we don't capture them now?"
The emperor, with his nose in the air, was silent for a long time, looked at the TV, and finally did not make a stupid decision - because the TV started playing the scene of cannon bombardment again. They actually had something similar, called "Ancestor Cannon", but there were too many cannons on the human side, densely packed in a square, it looked like there were tens of thousands of them!
"After the Green Market and the Military Committee's research, we are committed to maintaining peace and security in the North and promoting cooperation and development among cities."
"The trade in weapons and equipment will follow the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Thermal Weapons. The number of weapons that each civilization can purchase will be strictly limited. At the same time, the trade in biological and chemical weapons will be banned. Currently, six major clans have signed this treaty."
“Storm Wine, the spokesperson for the Dwarven civilization, said: This weapons non-proliferation treaty can effectively reduce the probability of civilization extinction. Every race has the right to live in this world. Let us join hands and embrace a better future.”
"We should also abolish the slave trade..."
"These are backward production relations..."
This guy said a lot of blah blah.
The Yelang clan was dumbfounded. It seemed that some big changes had taken place in the northern border without them noticing.
Even if they are a race that lives in a remote corner and does not interfere with the world, they will gradually fall behind if they do not take action.
Even, being eliminated!
…
…
Wherever Lu Yuan and Hai Luo go, the reputation of the trading market will expand.
Bidding farewell to this great rift valley filled with poisonous gas and toxins, the "Greedy Demon" continued on his journey towards his next target.
A famous ultra-ancient ruins, the Parthenon!
This may be the remains of a secondary civilization. After hundreds of years of development by surrounding races, the resources inside have long been drained.
Only a few broken walls remain in this world.
What's more, even the carvings and seals on the walls were completely stripped away by the surrounding civilizations, and turned into complete materials.
Lu Yuan touched the walls, and only rustling dust mixed with snowflakes fell to the ground.
He sighed softly and said, "I can't blame these civilizations for being too greedy, but the traces of ancient civilizations have been completely destroyed, and there is always a sense of loss. It's as if these civilizations never existed."
"Come on. You've become rich digging your own graves, and now you blame others for digging their graves."
"Hmph, that's called elegant trash picking." The two of them bickered out of habit.
In such a huge ruins, there were only two of them wandering around casually. Occasionally, a wild animal would appear, stare at them with its black eyes, and then immediately turn around and run away.
Leaves of the Tree of Life grew on the surface of the "Greedy Demon", making it look like a vibrant hillside.
In just a few hours, a large group of creatures were attracted to build nests nearby.
Soon, Miss Conch tamed a snow-white mouse: "Look, I caught a new pet."
[Silver Rat: A smart rat that is good at detecting supernatural minerals.]
[In prehistoric times, civilizations bred them to find treasures and also used them as pets. ]
【Shape：3.3】
【Air: 6.9】
[God: 2.9]
[Ability: Treasure Hunting]
[Extraordinary Level: Level 1]
"This should be a silver-white mouse that has been bred for several generations, right?"
The conch liked it very much and named it "Baibai".
When the old wolf saw a new pet appear, he looked constipated, cried "Ahhh" and kept wandering around.
However, the 2.9 God does mean that this is a relatively smart little pet.
Lu Yuan didn't mind having one more life in the space capsule, since it could be locked up in a cage anyway.
The mouse chirped a few times, ran with its short legs, and picked up a small piece of "mithril" from its cave.
[Mithril, a rare glyph material, is widely used due to its affinity with extraordinary elements.]
"Oh, this is an unexpected gain."
Lu Yuan accepted the accommodation fee with satisfaction.
Then, he actually discovered the so-called "traces of history" from these irregularly shaped mithril fragments!
Ever since he created the legendary masterpiece "Snowflake Tree and Squirrel", he has fallen in love with the forging method that uses "historical traces".
This experience is like the ability to "retrace history". It is actually difficult for ordinary craftsmen to find it, but it is not difficult for Lu Yuan, because the Greedy Demon has already come into contact with "luck" - the essence of "luck" is a kind of time and space copying energy.
If you observe carefully, you will find that it is not uncommon to find items with "historical traces".
But forging it into an object is an art.
On the one hand, there are certain requirements for the materials. They must be extraordinary materials. Ordinary plants, trees, and ores cannot be forged.
On the other hand, it requires too much inspiration and accomplishment from the craftsmen. Even Lu Yuan couldn't always get it right.
