Ye Zhou finally managed to save enough money to open a large supermarket, but when he was about to showcase his skills, he realized that he might have a mental illness.
——Every morning th...
It is easier to invite a god than to send him away. Claire stayed without hesitation. The big gems were kept and the ordinary gems were given away continuously, in exchange for countless precious handicrafts and paintings, including a portrait of the former king, which was painted on a large piece of parchment. The pigments were also precious mineral pigments that the painter had spent most of his life collecting from all over the world.
Just this one painting cost most of the precious stones.
After all, the collector of this painting is Claire's father-in-law, the Duke who has been in power since the founding of the country.
A lot of gold and other things were also prepared, but they were not exchanged for gems. Instead, Claire had people transport them from her own territory. Compared with Claire, Ryan was simply a poor nephew.
Ryan regretted asking Claire to come over, but it was too late to regret now. He could only watch the knights coming in and out of the stone house and listen to Claire's disgusted lectures.
"God will never think that we have given Him too much." Claire showed Ryan the painting with some pride. The former king in the painting had a pale face and a stiff expression, but in their eyes, it was already a good painting that was hard to look away from.
The colors are bright and have not faded over the years. Even if it were not a painting but just paint, it would be precious enough.
Mineral pigments are rare, and so many colors are even rarer.
Claire: "You only want what the Moon Goddess needs, but the Moon Goddess can get whatever she wants."
"Could it be that Lord Moon God is short of meat? Short of fruit? But these things are offered during the church sacrifices every year."
He thought he was smarter than Ryan, and he lectured him endlessly, and Ryan could only listen with his nose held.
After all, Claire was his uncle, had a higher title and was richer than him, so he had no way of refutation.
Ryan even thought maliciously that it would be better if Lord Moon God did not accept Claire's things.
The glass bird was not taken out to exchange for treasures. Claire and Ryan were reluctant to part with it, so they teamed up to deceive Kurt, saying that the treasures now being transported to the stone house were exchanged for the glass bird, and that these things would be dedicated to Lady Moon Goddess.
Kurt had no choice but to swallow this loss and didn't get a penny.
Claire and Ryan both left themselves a way out. If the Moon Goddess had not taken them with her when she left, and had allowed them to live forever and enjoy happiness in the temple, then with the help of this glass bird, they could have lived a life several times better than before the Moon Goddess appeared.
At that point, the only loser would be Kurt.
While the three of them were fighting their wits and courage in the stone house, Kane on the mountain had already completed most of the task.
The slaves have already reclaimed the wasteland. Perhaps because they have more food than before and a place to rest, the speed of reclaiming the wasteland is faster than Kane expected. They have completed sowing and are waiting for the harvest.
Kane also received a batch of chickens and ducks sent by Lord Moon Goddess. He asked the slaves to build a chicken coop to keep the chickens in a cage, while the ducks were free-range. He also specially assigned more than a dozen slaves to take care of the chickens and ducks.
Maybe because the chickens were sent by the Moon Goddess, they not only grow fast but also lay a lot of eggs.
A hen can lay two eggs a day!
Although Kane had never raised chickens, he knew that it was already very good for most hens to lay one egg a day. Most of the time, they could lay two eggs in three days, or four days.
The first thing the slaves did every morning when they woke up was to collect eggs.
Since they had no place to trade the eggs, most of the eggs went into their own stomachs.
"They said we can have egg custard tonight." After finishing their work, the slaves gathered together to drink water and chat.
They are now used to drinking clean water. No one wants to drink water from ponds or mud puddles anymore. They didn't feel any difference before, but now they feel there is a strange taste when they drink it.
"We're eating potatoes today." The slave said with some regret, "I still prefer sweet potatoes. Potatoes have no taste."
"Lord Kane said he would exchange some salt for it in the next few days."
Perhaps because Kane told them everything he did, the slaves now felt like they were in charge. They discussed the price of salt and felt that salt was more valuable than gold.
"I heard that a live chicken can only be exchanged for this amount of salt." The slave compared with his hands and sighed, "No wonder no one put salt in porridge before."
"Lord Kane said that if you don't eat salt, you won't have the strength to work. No wonder I'm stronger now than before."
"I heard that raising sheep requires feeding them salt."
"Sheep need salt! We were worse than sheep before."
Although the slaves sighed, there was a look of joy between their brows. They felt that they had been reborn. When the lord first asked them to become free people, they were all scared and didn't know how to survive as free people.
But now they have discovered the benefits of being free citizens. They don't have to be whipped, sleep together like animals, or work all day long. They have discovered other beautiful things besides survival.
Although they didn't know what others were thinking, they were no longer willing to be slaves again. They had only been free citizens for a month or two, but they could no longer remember how they lived or what they thought when they were slaves.
Maybe, but they never thought about it when they were slaves.
They are all numb puppets. They find it tiring to even talk, let alone think. All they look forward to every day is a bowl of porridge.
Kane sat aside and talked to Ira. He was too busy to handle it all by himself, so after observing for a while, he asked Ira to become his assistant.
"My Lord asked me to build a temple." Kane was a little frightened and not very confident.
Lord Moon God's original words were to let him build a supermarket. Kane knew what a supermarket was. It was the temple where he had lived, which had everything.
Ira said quickly, "This is a good thing! Once the temple is built, you will be the priest, and Lord Moon God will not abandon us!"
Ira smiled so much that her mouth reached her ears.
Kane quickly said, "You have never seen the temple, so you don't know what a magical place it is! How can we build it with people like us?"
Kane described the temple to Ira in detail.
Ila listened carefully. The more he listened, the more longing appeared in his eyes. The house, which seemed to have no end, was filled with seven or eight layers of shelves, or even higher. The clips were full of things they had never seen before. Unlike the empty temples in myths, such temples could arouse people's instinctive desires.
Countless foods and items, things that only exist in imagination, are placed on the shelves and can be easily taken. I am afraid that even the richest king would not know where to look when he went to the temple.
Kane: “That’s why I’m worried.”
Ira thought about it and said, "Perhaps Master Moon Goddess means to build a place to put the shelves? Just a little bigger will do?"
"Lord Moon God knows everything. He must know that we have nothing worth putting on the shelf." Ira whispered.
Kane was stunned for a moment, then his mind cleared up. He quickly said, "You are right, Lord Moon God knows everything!"
He stood up, pointed to an empty space and said, "That's perfect!"
"But since it's a temple, it must be built with stone." Kane, "We need more manpower."
Building a stone house is different from building a wooden house. They don’t have adhesives and can only rely on the weight of the stones themselves to hold them together. Therefore, the stones cannot be crushed stones, but must be large whole stones. In order to make the stones fit tightly, they must be polished into square shapes.
Whether it is polishing, moving, or stacking, it requires a lot of manpower.
With their current number of people, it would take at least two to three years to build a stone house with a large space.
Kane doesn't have that much time. He has to show it to Lady Moon Goddess, and it would be best if he could complete it within half a year. If that happens, he can only rely on more manpower.
However, if he wanted to find slaves again, he could only discuss it with Ryan, because he had no connections and he didn't know where to find merchants who bought and sold slaves. Once he got in touch with those merchants through Ryan, he would have connections in the future.

After arranging for Kane, Ye Zhou went to the cliff less frequently. He planned to go up once a month, and it would be best to wait until the 15th of every month - the moon seemed to be rounder at this time, which was more suitable for the role he played.
But very occasionally, he would ask Zou Ming to help bring some things to Kane, which were all about the methods of making seeds and farmyard manure.
Ye Zhou only found out the last time he went there that there was not even any fertilizer here, and the soil was getting thicker and thinner. The solution the people here came up with was to take a break from planting, planting one piece of land this year and moving to another piece of land next year, allowing the previous piece of land to rest and recover its fertility on its own.
But there are also some lazy people, or in places where it is not possible to reclaim wasteland at will. The land is becoming thinner and thinner, and the yield is becoming lower and lower. People will starve to death if they guard the land.
Today is the day that Ye Zhou goes to the cliff.
Ye Zhou didn't bring anything except the dimensional box.
They traveled empty-handed, but they had plenty of enjoyment along the way, including more suitable tents and a variety of convenient foods.
In the dimensional box, time is stagnant for all items. There is no air or oxygen in the dimensional space, so there is no need to worry about fresh food spoiling. Cao'er's mother even cooked a pot of tomato-flavored hot pot for them to eat on the road.
Ye Zhou was very satisfied with the dimensional box, even more satisfied than the protective shield - he had been delayed for so long at Luoyang Base and had exchanged for a protective shield, but when he came here, the protective shield was completely useless, which made Ye Zhou feel a little bit at a loss.
He could only comfort himself that it would always be useful, and that he would definitely go to a dangerous plane later, and then the protective shield would be useful.
But this doesn't seem to be a good consolation. After all, Ye Zhou doesn't want to encounter danger.
After reaching the cliff, Ye Zhou used a drone to send a message to Kane.
The black drone had a strange shape and was flying steadily, carrying a sealed letter. As soon as it appeared, it attracted the attention of all the slaves. The slaves working in the fields all looked up, looking at the thing that could fly but was not a bird with fear.
Someone shouted loudly, and the slaves scattered, trying to escape into the woods.
Kane immediately shouted, "Don't run! Don't go into the woods! This is the divine pet of Lord Moon God! It's here to deliver a message!"
Many slaves did not hear Kane's words and had already fled into the woods. The dozen or so slaves behind him ran too slowly. After hearing Kane's shout, they stopped in doubt and stood stiffly where they were.
The drone stopped in front of Kane, who took the letter gently. He opened the envelope and read it quickly. Then he let out a long sigh and smiled with relief. "Lord Moon God is coming tonight."
The slaves immediately cried out "Great!"
"Lord Moon God is coming again!"
The slaves in the woods heard the cheers. Although they didn't know what had happened, they knew there was no danger, so they came out one after another.
When the slaves learned that the Moon Goddess would arrive tonight, they acted like they were drunk with fake wine. They cheered and hugged each other.
They no longer feel that the lord is the master.
Instead, they feel that the Moon God is their master and that they are now God's people.
They are truly God’s people.
"We should build a statue for the Moon God!" a slave shouted enthusiastically, "We want everyone to look up to the Moon God!"
"We must dedicate everything we have, including our souls, to Lord Moon God!"
"I am only willing to be the slave of the Moon Goddess! My children and my children's children will all be the slaves of the Moon Goddess!"
They shouted loudly, and Kane was infected by their emotions and shouted loudly, "Yes! Build a statue! We must build a statue for the Moon God! Even if the Moon God never comes again in the future, we must let everyone know the true appearance of the Moon God!"
Even if Lord Moon God's current face is just one of His countless faces, they should record it so that future generations will remember this benevolent and great God.
Kane continued to shout, "We must build a temple for the Moon Goddess. Build a temple!"
The slaves responded loudly.
Ye Zhou, who was hiding behind a tree on the cliff, "..."
He lowered his head in embarrassment, feeling deeply ashamed. The statue or something…
What would people think if they found out there was another continent on the other side of the ocean and the people on that continent looked like him? And if merchants from other planes came to this plane and saw his statue...
By then, someone will surely remember that he is also a dimensional businessman.
Not only did he pretend to be a god and give himself the identity of a moon god, he also asked the people here to build a statue of him.
Ye Zhou almost suffocated just thinking about it.
Sarah hadn't noticed Ye Zhou's shame yet. She said happily, "They are okay. They know how to repay their gratitude."
Ye Zhou said awkwardly, "There's no need to report it like this..."
Sarah: “Boss, this way you can brag to others later.”
Ye Zhou had a blank expression on his face. "What are you bragging about? Are you bragging that someone built a stone statue for me?"
Dark history. If the stone statue was really built, it would definitely become his dark history in the future, and he would feel suffocated every time he thought about it.
After hundreds of years, when the people here discover that he looks like someone from another continent, they might realize that he is a fraud.
Well, I can express my gratitude, but forget about this way of expressing gratitude.
Ye Zhou thought with tears in his eyes.
