Chapter Six
Building "artificial ore veins" is not an easy task. First, you must dig a well and estimate the negative energy concentration underground to calculate how deep the tunnel should be dug.
Theoretically, the deeper the tunnel, the better. The deeper the tunnel, the higher the underground temperature, the higher the negative energy concentration, the more suitable the growth of special mushrooms, and of course the higher the yield.
But... the deeper you dig, the higher the negative energy concentration, the more dangerous it is.
For a guy like Sui Xiong who is of special specifications, ordinary spell casters also have ways to resist negative energy. However, when digging tunnels, the casters should not be allowed to be coolies. Those workers are just mortals with no special abilities. Even with Phylex protection, working in a high-concentration negative energy environment is too dangerous.
Neither Sui Xiong nor Phylex are the kind of black-hearted businessmen who get into money's eyes. Of course, life-related matters cannot be played by them, so you must carefully estimate and balance between reducing investment and reducing risks as much as possible.
This is a meticulous job. Sui Xiong couldn't do it, and Phylex couldn't do it either. All they could do was dig wells and provide the required information. As for the calculation work, Sui Xiong searched and found a god envoy from the Goddess of Wealth, a former prime minister of the kingdom. After several days of careful calculation, he came up with a reliable information.
The former prime minister promised that as long as the construction can be carried out according to the safety plan he formulated, there will be no actual danger. Not only that, he also put forward some important suggestions - the initial tunnel could be artificially heated, and there was no need to dig four, just one.
As an artist, Sui Xiong's habitual symmetrical aesthetics is not needed in this kind of place.
This matter was naturally not hidden from Sui Xiong's allies. The gods of the wild gods were not interested in Sui Xiong's social experiments, but Morani reminded him that this method of artificial underground mineral veins would likely attract the greedy black dragon Koradma.
The dragon god, known as the "Dark Lord of Underground", controls two priests: underground caves and underground ruins. In the past two thousand years, he has reached out to the priests of underground mineral veins, which are quite conflicted with the dwarf god. Last time when Sui Xiong built an underground maze, this guy came to blackmail. At that time, he was driven away by the god of justice, Yolgaard, and afterwards, he was busy with disputes with the dwarf gods, and never made trouble again.
——But this definitely doesn’t mean that the guy will watch it out without reaching out!
"If that guy comes, I will find someone to deal with Him." Morani said, "I have a good relationship with several gods from the Dwarf God. At that time, I will bring them together to siege this greedy old dragon. Even if I don't kill Him, I will severely damage Him!"
As the forging god of orcs, Morani has a good relationship with the forging gods of various gods. In Sui Xiong's opinion, this is a natural friendship between the technical occupants. The dwarf's god system is forged by almost everyone, so the relationship with Morani is particularly good.
In fact, when He was just appointed as a god, Bergen Stone, the main god of the Dwarf God system, invited him to join the Dwarf God system, even if he was just a guest minister. But Lefeng came to persuade him personally that when Morani was a general in the Orc Empire, he was a subordinate of the Emperor Lefeng. He had a good relationship with each other, so he agreed to be a guest minister of the Orc God system.
Even so, it did not affect His relationship with the dwarf gods.
Speaking of which, Sui Xiong really admires Morani's ability. As a half-orc, he can pull out his own power in the orc god territory. He can also get along with friends everywhere. Not only that, each of his followers is an outstanding talent. Even the two stupid guys, Big Catfish and Big Earthworm, have outstanding abilities. One can purify the poisonous marsh and the other can fertile soil, which are extremely useful.
In contrast, Sui Xiong felt that he had a little failure. After so many years of staying in the world, he had almost no friends at the level of gods except Yol Gardman, Morani, Mannis, and Vieye. Such as the God of Redemption, etc., were just ordinary friends; Woj and Ariel were very close friends, but that was because they had received his great kindness...
But he ignored one thing that Morani's interpersonal relationships have been accumulated over thousands of years. In comparison, he has only been in less than 30 years since his debut. In such a short time, he has made so many friends, which is considered by other gods, who are already a representative of his long-term dance.
However, there is one Sui Xiong who is indeed inferior to Morani. Morani has been in the industry for thousands of years but has not formed many real enemies. However, Sui Xiong has only been in the industry for less than 30 years. Not to mention ordinary grudges, even more than one life and death grudge. Moreover, his enemies are everywhere, from legendary monsters to powerful divine power, and even the demon monarchs in the abyss who have extremely chaotic personalities have kept him in mind, and never forget to cause trouble for him.
His ability to cause trouble is also considered awesome.
For example, the social progress experiment he is conducting now, even if he doesn't think it has actually violated the interests of many gods and traditional forces. It's nothing but a small plate and no one has noticed it yet.
Not to mention anything else, it will take a few years to make the cave god Koradma come to trouble him.
Of course, Sui Xiong doesn't buy Koradma's account now. After the battle, he worked hard and suffered seven injuries. The damn black lizard dared to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation. He recorded this account. Brother Xiong has always been clear about his grudges. Those who helped him and those who cause trouble will be punished later!
"It would be better that black dragon comes to cause trouble for me!" After hearing Morani's words, he sneered, "I'll cook dragon broth when the time comes!"
A few months later, the raw materials for the dragon broth were not delivered to the door, but the human god of diplomacy came to visit again.
This time He came to send invitations. The Lord of Glory held a banquet and invited all friends to the banquet. As comrades who helped him deal with the Sun God system, Sui Xiong and Wo Lie were also invited.
To be honest, Sui Xiong did not like the Lord of Glory. But when he came to invite him politely, he was embarrassed to refuse with a stern face, so he agreed and prepared a small gift.
The banquet was not held in the "Glorious Kingdom" of the Divine Kingdom of Human Gods, but was chosen in the void of the main plane, a very vast place that cannot hide any traps. The human Gods will arrange the venue in a grand manner. Although it is not luxurious, it has a grand feeling that people have to admire, fully reflecting the foundation of the world's first divine system.
The banquet was in the form of a buffet, with various rare foods placed around the venue for use. Sui Xiong was surprised to find many Chinese-style dishes. He asked Vieye and found out that many people in the human god system were interested in the dishes of the Void Mask Amusement Park, and they had studied and studied them, and made some adjustments based on their taste.
This adjustment may not be in line with Sui Xiong's taste, but it fully reflects a momentum that can accommodate all rivers and can be used by me, as well as the confidence to take advantage of others' strengths. Sui Xiong couldn't help but look up to the Lord of Glory, the helm of the human god system.
After the banquet was held for a while, the Lord of Glory, who had left after the opening speech, appeared again. However, this time the majestic God King changed into a chef's uniform and pushed a large dining car into the venue.
"I got an extremely rare ingredient not long ago, and it took a long time to process it. Today I finally got it done." The Lord of Glory, who has always been serious and cold, smiled on his face. "It's rare that friends are gathered together. While everyone is happy, I will share this precious dish with you!"
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, remembering a crazy thing that the Lord of Glory had done before, and he couldn't help but have bad guesses.
Looking around, many gods looked a little ugly, probably because they thought of it with him.
However, as the saying goes, "the good and bad spirit", in everyone's uneasy eyes, the Lord of Glory smiled and lifted the lid of the dining car. He saw that inside the dining car was a big pot, and in the center of the big pot, a ball of sunny stuff was floating in the soup, stewing the milky white soup to a boil.
A breeze blew, the soup rippled and the fragrance was everywhere. When smelling this fragrance, people felt energetic, and a faint force penetrated into their body, as if even their divine power had been improved.
But every god who knew the goods changed his expression. Some people were stunned, some people were laughing and crying, some people were shocked, some people were almost vomiting... Uh, there were also many people who were licking their tongues and showing a look of eagerness to try.
(Let it be a big trough! This guy really plays this trick again!)
Sui Xiong could tell at a glance that the ball was both a dish and a fire, nothing else, but the Sun God who was killed by the Lord of Light before!
"Last time, many people were not satisfied with my ancient god wine." said the Lord of Glory, "I spent countless efforts and risked my life to collect raw materials. I didn't expect that so many people didn't like drinking."
He said, shaking his head, showing a very regretful look.
(Hey! That's not a question of whether you like drinking or not! You cut your creator into wine, who can drink it?)
The complaints in Sui Xiong's heart were naturally unheard by the Lord of Glory. He sighed and said, "I learned from my mistakes and felt that it must be because many friends don't like to drink. So this time I changed my policy and stewed a pot of soup."
He pointed to the pot of milky white hot soup that was slightly boiling, and smiled and said, "To be honest, this soup is still inspired by His Majesty's playground."
Sui Xiong almost jumped up and couldn't help but shout: "How could I stew this kind of soup in my playground!"
"Isn't this one of the signature dishes in your playground for winter?" Lord of Glory said with a smile, "It's called 'hot pot'."
"I had eaten it last time, and it was indeed very interesting. At that time, I thought about what to use as ingredients to make the most distinctive and flavorful hot pot." He showed a hint of self-priming expression on his face. "After thinking about it, I thought of the best ingredients in the world."
"It is both an ingredient and can be used to cook soup. Boil yourself, original, without any seasoning. It fully reflects the beauty of nature and the purity of diet - where is there anything in the world that is better than it and suitable for stewing hot pot?"
Sui Xiong was silent for a long time and asked, "Could it be...this is the reason why you attacked the City of Clouds and annihilated the Sun God System?"
"How is that possible!" Lord of Glory smiled, "I had that plan, but I just considered that eating hot pot in winter, so I just took a little advance."
Sui Xiong finally couldn't help it anymore, sighed deeply, and even his tentacles drooped softly.
