Chapter 177: Scorpion Tail and Mane Lion

The wind blew up the gravel from the ruins of [The God-King's Legacy], and everyone fell silent.

No one responded, so Seno explained to himself, "Kusela was so sad that she was about to cry, and the people who were originally unable to communicate were stuck at [Kawan Station]..."

"..." Ming Chong couldn't help but reveal his crescent eyes. It seemed that Seno couldn't read the air even more than him, sigh.

Taking advantage of the strange atmosphere as Dixia looked at Kusela without saying anything for a while, Ming Chong walked over to Seno and shook his finger, "Grand Disciplinary Officer, I have to say something about you——"

"Don't you see what's going on?"

Hearing this, Seno folded his arms and turned to look at him, ready to hear what he had to say.

As expected, Ming Chong grinned. "Generally speaking, those caught committing serious crimes are forced to work in the mines. You're actually using such a solemn scene of separation between father and daughter to tell a cold joke!"

"Even I think you're a little cold."

Even Seno fell into a brief silence after hearing this. Even though the disciplinary officer was busy reciting jokes at night after work, he could not beat such a talented player.

The atmosphere between Kusela and his daughter instantly warmed up, and their attention was drawn away to Ming Chong.

Jade finally reacted. "Huh? Mining?! Where are the mines on Xumi?"

Xumi is not like Liyue, where there are continuous mineral veins. It is easy to find ore in Xumi. Maybe you can find it quickly by walking for a while and being careful.

But if you want to build a factory and recruit a construction team like Liyue, and even complete a series of industries behind it, that would be a bit difficult.

After all, one is the country ruled by the God of Rock, while they are only the country ruled by the God of Grass, and they do not have this advantage in terms of power.

This is common sense to many people. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in Xumi becoming mercenaries. Wouldn't it be better to just become a miner? There are certain risks, but at least it's stable and you won't have to go hungry.

But it doesn’t matter, this is common sense, it’s just that Ming Chong’s external personality is illiterate!

Ming Chong showed an expression of "there is nothing like this" without any guilt, "Ah, nothing?"

Justified.jpg

"Yes."

The Red King's voice suddenly sounded beside him.

Because of the appearance of this intimidating, unfamiliar, yet distinctively styled, translucent creature, the visitors from the Temple of Silence, blending in with the crowd, couldn't help but hold their breath and observe quietly, with a hidden expectation hidden in their hearts.

"...You scared me! Can't you appear more normal?" Ming Chong was quite dissatisfied with this.

The Red King thought about it and restrained his breath slightly, "...I understand, don't worry."

——What do you understand? You don’t understand at all.

"Akasaga's authority can meet the conditions for these people to be punished." He explained in a slow voice.

Oh... he wants to rub out a vein of minerals with his hands.

Ming Chong understood.

Temple of Silence: ...Is this how the authority of God is used?

The atmosphere now became even more weird, and it was completely different from the awkward and stalemate between Kusela and Dishia before.

Jade tried to speak again and inserted herself between Chi Wang and Ming Chong, but was covered by Gabriel's hand. The others also saw this and couldn't help but follow their example and keep quiet.

As for the newly arrived [Ahmar's Beard]... they are not without eyes, have they seen what the headquarters of [Legacy of the God-King] has become?

If it weren't for Kusela's relaxed aura that gave them a sense of security, they would not have dared to speak up.

This is hilarious! Are they really that brave? They were always bullied in [Legacy of the God-King]. Now that they've encountered a force more powerful than [Legacy of the God-King], are they suddenly so tough?

Dishia, who was being hinted at by her father with his crazy eyes, didn't want to do it either. She didn't want to see the scene of her father winking at her. He was quite handsome when he was young, but now that he is older and a little obsessed with beauty, she didn't even dare to look at Shazaman's face, who was also being hinted at by his eyes!

Help, this is an employer she is very familiar with.

Although learning that her father and Master Humayi knew each other reminded her of many things behind the scenes, Dixia now just wanted to bury her head in the sand.

Perhaps the only one who didn't understand what was going on, like a husky among wolves, was Kavi, who opened his big ruby ​​eyes and tried hard to blend in with the others...

Kavi finally came to his senses from his trance-like state and wanted to ask Ming Chong what he had just done, but he felt that this was not a place to reminisce.

He had wanted to take out the small bracelet he had made from the leftover materials from designing the suitcase (Mehrak) from his bag, which he had planned to give to his brother in person.

The decorations above are all mini Yalta candy shapes that Kavi made using parts. You can tell from the colors that they are different flavors.

There are seven kinds of fruits: Tree King Holy Body Mushroom, Sumeru Rose, Moon Lotus, Tribulation Lotus, Dun Dun Peach, Spice Fruit, and Sunset Fruit. Well, seven is a special number.

But this is not the reason why Kavi chose them, but because they represent a custom of the Flower God’s Birthday Festival - the [Seven Fresh Table], which represents the seven virtues of the Grass God.

Yalda sweets are also a speciality of this day.

Kavi didn't celebrate the Flower Goddess' birthday, but he thought his younger brother Mingchong might like it, and if he didn't like it, he wouldn't have taken the straw rope away from Jingshan Palace on purpose.

So, seeing that the Grass God's birthday was about to come, he did some research on the Flower God's birthday festival and specially selected Yalda candies representing the colors of these flowers, fruits and mushrooms.

Simply using their representative colors doesn’t mean anything, so Kavi designed these candies to be opened, revealing miniature “Seven Fresh Candies” inside.

Making these miniature gadgets is quite a test of craftsmanship. However, the things you bring to your brother not only need to be exquisite and thoughtful, but also have to suit his preferences. No matter how much effort you put into it, it’s never too much.

The bracelets were made based on the Liyue custom of tying colorful strings during festivals...

Of course, Kavi's holiday gift to his brother wouldn't just be a bracelet, not something to eat. He also brought a real "Seven Fresh Table" and Yalda candy, with the extras to share with the Little Grass God... and others.

Unfortunately, after talking so much, Kavi still hasn't been able to come up with anything.

——Because the responsible mercenary, Dixia, was using all his strength to stop his employer.

She felt that something was wrong. Before even entering the desert, Kawanyi was already caught up in the turmoil surrounding the God-King's Legacy.

Although Dishia had been prepared for Tinari's vague explanations, this scene was still too strange. Or had the desert people evolved into something she couldn't understand since the strange scene a dozen days ago?

...In short, it's better to be cautious. With those two unknown faces whose names are unknown and whose speech is a bit strange, Dixia can only at least guarantee to protect her employer.

So, Kavi could only watch as his brother turned to laugh at him and watched him having fun while he walked away with the strange desert man.

Gone, far, away!!!

Kavi was so excited that he almost shouted out loud, but before he could utter a single syllable, a student from the Educational Academy next to him blocked his mouth with a snack.

The sound in the vast desert dissipated quickly, until the distance was almost too far to detect any sound. Only then did the brother-con unwillingly shift his gaze to the tall scholar.

"Alright, don't waste your time." He seemed accustomed to this kind of scene and spoke to comfort her as usual, "No one can stop Ming Chong from doing what he wants."

Dixia released her hand from holding Kavi, realizing that they could now communicate, and the other party seemed to know a lot.

"Really? So you were just planning to—"

"Before that kid comes up with those complicated little tricks, I might as well solve some of the troubles first." Murtada smiled confidently.

It was all Tirzad's fault. The last time he was tricked by Qi Wan Ba, it was Tirzad who assisted him!

+1 for holding a grudge!

If he takes over this time, he might as well do a better job than Tirzad?

Just as Dixia was about to speak again, Kavi said aggrievedly: "But I didn't try to stop him!"

"That's my brother, I brought him something!!!"

The two of them were silent for a second, looking at each other.

Finally, Dixia took the initiative to extend her hand. "My name is Dixia, a hired mercenary."

"Multada, the captured scholar."

The two men held hands, their eyes conveying a signal of sympathy.

…

…

For some unknown reason, Chi Wang took Ming Chong for a walk, and then began to overlook the desert.

Don’t say that, don’t say that!

In front of us is the big pit of the [Holy Manifestation Hall]. A little south of the Holy Manifestation Hall is the big pit where Jade fished out Benben. Across the big pit, you can actually see the Courtyard of Silence.

?

Wow, these two places can even see each other across the Hall of the Epiphany.

Aru Village is separated from the Hall of the Holy Epiphany by layers of mountains. The distance from Kawanyi to Aru Village is only one road away from the Relics of the God-King.

This place is a great location!

Ming Chong took a few glances and felt that if he chose this place as his hometown as a villain, he would be successful with this vision.

Besides, the Tanit tribe is just west of the Hall of the Holy Epiphany... Ming Chong frowned, thinking that the hometown of [The Legacy of the God-King] (crossed out) was too close before it was demolished.

How can I allow others to sleep soundly on my bed?! (Shocking sound)

Even if that group of people didn't target Samel, causing the sharp explosion in the Temple of Silence, they would become enemies sooner or later.

——Now, those who were not killed by the demolition and are still alive, go mine!

Ming Chong couldn't help but reveal his capitalist face.

hiahiahiahia～

Then--

Then he began to select a location for the mine.

According to the relevant knowledge about Mingchong's poverty, if the Tanit tribe wants to develop, it cannot be too far away from the mining site, but it cannot be too close either.

As we all know, the Chasm is quite far from Liyue Harbor. Moreover, industrial areas are usually not too close to residential areas.

In addition, there is another key point that must be considered, which is transportation.

To sum up, the consequence of Ming Chong using his brain is—

This vein of minerals falls in the hometown of the [Wind-Eroded Sandworm].

“…”

Faced with Nashida's question, Ming Chong really wanted to answer with the three words "So what?"

But this was his first time playing a real-life business simulation game! He started off with a failure.

—Shit! It’s all the Red King’s fault!

Groundhog screaming.jpg

Why doesn't he say a word? He just works silently.

However, Ming Chong soon came to his senses.

"Nashida, this is where you're wrong! Those mining are prisoners, common miners, not the legitimate miners of Liyue!"

On sale, everything is on sale!!!.jpg
