Chapter 53 Golden Dreamland
"On your quest for the secret treasure of Gul City, you'll need to find ways to gradually increase the power of the Red Sand Slabs in the desert. Even Wi-Fi master keys are subject to upgrades, not to mention the firewalls that prevent tomb robbers."
As a creation of the Red King civilization, the Red Sand Slab is undoubtedly the result of ordinary people's exploration and utilization of Teyvat's power system.
In contrast, there are so many tombs in the desert that cannot be easily stormed by force. After all, the proportion of those who possess the Eye of God is not enough to build such a large and magnificent building.
The creations of ordinary people are isolated from the prying eyes of the evil, and are also treated equally by those with the ability of the Eye of God.
This is certainly worthy of praise.
But within this mausoleum, there are not only hymns of mortals, but also rivers of blood and tears. What is commendable is human resilience, not the trio of slavery, suffering, and oppression.
You run back and forth on the lower wind erosion land and the pillared sand plains. After walking on this road for a long time, you don't even need to report monster points. You can avoid danger by being familiar with the route.
Strengthen the red sand slabs, open new passages, study the ancient texts on the stone tablets...
From a historical perspective, there are no shortcuts, and this is how most people later explored the past.
Instead of looking at Youfei studying the red sand slabs, you will look at your own flower pots.
Because you planted the stone, everyone is worried about your mental state.
You Fei used the unfamiliar knowledge of the School of Life Theory to propose a feasible training plan;
Gabriel asked Thutmose's wheel dancers to help release the grass element on the flower pot;
Sameer is more pragmatic and helps you retain your daily quota of water for watering.
You also know that something is not right with you.
——[Indifference leads to numbness, intensity leads to clarity] [1]
This sentence describes you after coming to the Tuwat continent. You are never willing to stay.
You certainly have the ability to make every day full of fun, just like giving power to a bug, staying at home and tracking its whereabouts and ending.
But you don't want to interfere in the lives of others or lives like this.
You're keen on watching face-changing performances, but the surprising thing about this show is its rarity. Just like people who often show their emotions and easily change their expressions at the turn of a sentence, their rarity lies in their calmness beneath the strangeness.
However, the monotony that you are tired of now occupied most of your time in the past.
Now, a feeling of laziness is gripping you.
“…”
This situation continued for a long time until Yufei suddenly said to you, "The secret treasure of Gul City that Samel longed for, along with the Red King's legacy, is about to be found, Chong."
You are shocked to realize that you have been wavering between the identities of God and human for so long.
The team's journey is coming to an end. Where should we go next? What should we do?
When you didn't answer, Yufei continued, "How about you guess where?"
You think this question is a bit strange and the location must be special.
But Yufei didn't continue talking, but sang the song she used to lull people to sleep.
The stars rise above the wasteland
The nightingale is also tired of the endless time
It's time to take off the crown of roses
…［2］
Roses... Youfei had said that the seeds in your pots were from the Rosaceae family. Even though she had only taken a few related courses, Youfei knew that the Sumeru rose was an important tool for observing earth veins, so she wouldn't mistake the seeds.
Speechless for a moment, you sometimes feel that what makes people content with the ordinary is the peace of mind felt at a certain moment when recalling the past.
What's somewhat surprising is that after making all the preparations, the city of Gül you are heading to is right below the place where you picked up the stone flower.
Regardless of whether there are any hidden treasures in Gul City, you can explore the ruins first."
"Gul City, a desert civilization that only existed for three generations, was built by the descendants of the Flower Gods, guided by the Red King, who guided humanity.
Scholars often speculate that the Flower Goddess and the Red King have another secret connection. Therefore, when the Flower Goddess fell, the Red King accepted her people and allowed those who survived to establish a city-state in his territory.
This city-state embodies the legacy of the Flower God and the technology of the Red King civilization. It's not unreasonable for Samel to firmly believe that a vast treasure is buried here.
Yufei found more information about the city of Gul in the ruins. As she reconstructs the whole story of its destruction, are you still trapped between humans and gods?
No, you've returned to your energetic, obnoxious player state, but you're just maintaining the state of an ordinary person...
There is a man who knows everything in the world.
From your previous experiences, you have figured out a truth: life is like a huge garbage dump. The only difference is whether you pick up garbage with a cold face or happily pick up garbage.
So, you happily pick up trash in Gur City."
"You picked up the town spirit [Lilupal]."
"What did you pick up?!" You Fei was shocked.
"Ah, it's the Rainforest People. Interesting girl."
“Right!”
proud and proud.jpg
Yufei touched her lips together, "How did you find her?"
"A snap, then a pop, and then a bang! Got it?"
“…” I don’t quite understand.
Gabriel and Sameer came over one after another.
"What happened?"
Yu Fei was silent. What could she say? Was this Lilupal, one of the driving forces behind the destruction of Gul City?
Can she speak?
At this time, Lilupal spoke slowly, "Oh...oh, lords from afar, people of the rainforest, people of the desert...but, but, please, all of you step aside. We should not have any more dealings. I am only speaking to this lord."
You frowned, realizing something was amiss, and slammed Lilupal into the sand. "It's a broken bottle."
The journey to find the secret treasure of Gul City soon ended.
The bad news is that there is no secret treasure of the city of Gul or the legacy of the Red King, but a lot of treasures were indeed found.
The good news is - you can go find the legacy of the Flower Goddess.
And you can reach the legendary "Eternal Oasis", a place where flowers bloom in the desert, an oasis of flowers and herbs.
So, are you going?
——You refused.
Just like the Red King's legacy, amidst extreme scarcity, people's faith reached another extreme. It was merely the sustenance of the Sand People's beautiful hopes.
What would you like to do in the desert?
But Yufei, a scholar, and Samel, who is too obsessed, are unwilling to give up. Since Lilupal is unwilling to talk to them, you have to imitate Lilupal's power to make a key.
Gabriel was hesitant, unsure about either party. So you made the decision for him—to prevent the love triangle from becoming a heated one.
Originally, Sameer was a career-minded person. He always believed that love was a chronic disease and Yufei would never be happy!
Therefore, this possibility should be eliminated from the root.
The team set out on their journey again. You watched them leave with the flower pot in your arms. When you turned around, you saw the dark sand-proof wall in the distance and fell into deep thought.
Your flowers haven't sprouted yet, so find something else to do.
On the continent of Teyvat, people are still not quite aware of the changes that humans can make to the geographical environment, but just from the Abyss, we can get a glimpse of it. The cumulative impact on the environment from generation to generation is terrifying.
And here you can also use tools and elemental power - this is what you suddenly understood when Gabriel asked the Wheel Dancer for help.
Just because you can't freely use elemental power doesn't mean you can't utilize it."
“After you’ve driven the Truth and looked at all the plants in the desert, you decide to start with a grass that looks similar to the Caragana korshinskii.
To control the desert, we must start by cutting down the grass to fix the sand, then use [Purifying Water in the Sand] for one round, and [Wheel Dancer] for another round, and then we can plant the cactus that grows [Red Thought Fruit].
If you do this for a few days, you can plant star mushrooms and caragana, which can be used as medicine and make oil.
If the Gilded Brigade could continue for ten or twenty days, they could plant the thorny sunflower trees that produced good timber;
…
By the time Gabriel and his men returned, you had already planted the date-bearing tamarisk trees that grew in the oasis around Thutmose's tribe.
First they saw various grass grids, neat but somewhat dense and ugly, with cacti scattered here and there, then a large area of caragana and malnourished-looking thorn palms - they had been planted not long ago.
If you can utilize the grass element, you don't have to worry about the survival rate.
And your oasis continues to expand.
Sameer almost thought someone had broken in, and rushed in front of you, only to find you picking vegetables.
"You're back!" When you saw Sameer, you were surprised and smiled sincerely and brightly.
?
Yes, you did grow vegetables in the desert after all.
——The end of the universe is growing vegetables!
Later, when he understood that you planned to use human power to change the desert environment, he gave a strange look.
It is known that you are a human being and an unknown god with strange powers, but you have considered yourself a human being and have questioned your own powers.
…
So you are not a god, but a child that Sameer and Gabriel took turns carrying out of the desert.
Finally he said, "You are right, there is no such thing as the legacy of the flower god."
He had decided on the road from the beginning to describe to you the power and awe of the Eternal Oasis, because he was a little angry at your contempt and disdain for the gods' legacy.
——When Samel was young, he lived in the Tanit tribe and longed to obtain the legacy of the Red King.
Although you didn't laugh at him, Sameer felt offended by the comparison. You think it's nothing special because you have it, while ordinary people may never be able to open that door in their entire lives.
However, however——
You really have created an oasis in the desert.
Relying only on a small tribe like Thutmose.
Of course, you didn't claim to have used "Truth." After all, knowledge can be acquired through exploration, and you're simply ignorant. Just as Youfei can understand classical Chinese, you still need to use a lot of tricks to understand its meaning, and sometimes even need help translating it into human language.
The beginning of desert control is the most difficult, because no one knows if it will work. But since you have witnessed the miracles people have created in the desert, taking the first step will be easy for you.
The emergence of such an oasis made the surrounding tribes eager to take action. But even Sameer had no complaints about the subsequent battle to defend the oasis. The saying "If my neighbor stores food, I store guns. My neighbor is my granary" is a widely circulated and self-evident truth in the desert.
Creation is always more difficult than destruction, so even if people observe the birth process of Oasis, few are willing to replicate it.
Perhaps at first they would resent the injustice of fate, that the Red King had fallen, while the Grass God of the rainforest still existed;
Afterwards, they will probably resent you for being so resistant to giving up the oasis even though you already know how to create it.
In the future, they will probably resent Thutmose. While everyone else was fighting, you created the greatest miracle in the desert in human history, making them look so ugly...
You don't know it, you just enjoy being human."
