Chapter 710: Each Shows His Abilities

Regarding the candidate for the god, Lu Yao considered it for a while and ruled out the butterfly goddess first.

[Kunlun] is a good place for the Butterfly Goddess. She is good at fighting, reconnaissance and hunting, which is very useful in the conventional defense outsourcing of Dog City undertaken by the Four Heroes of Kunlun.

The Four Heroes of Kunlun are all titled gods, and have their own civilization chain. Just like messengers, letting them act outside the system will help increase the influence of Yao civilization on the outside world.

Then the only ones left are the Ghost God and the Bamboo Reed King.

Since they set sail from the Vortex World, these two have become peripheral members of the Yao Clan civilization. They grew up in the same era as Sand City, and there has been no news of any trouble over the years.

Lu Yao summoned Slemmod and asked about the specific situation of the two gods.

"Master Zhengshen, I am relatively familiar with these two countries."

Slymode said: "After initially establishing a border with Sand City and cooperating with them, the Ghost Realm and Zhulu Kingdom soon fell into a state of discomfort. Because the Yao Clan civilization developed very quickly, it was very difficult for them to keep up."

"Shacheng organized a research and assistance team consisting of scholars, senior farmers and biologists, and worked in the area for five years."

"Apart from the initial excitement and novelty it brought to the locals, the reality is that it is difficult for our technical talents to give full play to their abilities there, because the local knowledge base is too poor and relies heavily on various experiences that are difficult to identify. The Yao people's knowledge system is difficult for the Lu people and the Bing people to understand, and most of them show tension, fear and confusion, which has a very poor effect."

"This is based on the all-round gap in the civilization system, just like two parts of different sizes that are difficult to screw together."

"Both sides were under tremendous pressure during the assistance process. Our staff had to try their best to reduce the threshold of understanding, while the locals needed to supplement a lot of basic knowledge and common sense in a short period of time, and also needed to change their lazy and playful lifestyle... Both sides made great efforts, but the results did not meet expectations."

A sighing expression appeared on Master Slime's head.

"After several attempts, Ghost God, Zhu Lu King, and I all realized that it is impossible to accelerate the civilization of Ghost Realm and Zhu Lu Kingdom in a short period of time. This can only be a long-term project that requires them to change from the inside out, from the bottom and the top. It will take the efforts of at least two or three generations of new population to reverse the inherent cognition of the group and provide positive feedback to the entire ethnic group."

"The attitudes of Ghost God and Bamboo Reed King are very firm. No matter how difficult or slow it is, they will take this path."

Slymod said: "They have realized that the power of civilization and the might of the gods complement each other, and civilization is also an extension of the power of the gods."

"From the process and results, I believe that Ghost God and Bamboo Reed King are indeed doing the same thing. They adjusted the direction of civilization, improving and upgrading little by little, and after 600 years, they have achieved results..."

Lu Yao moved his view and looked towards the ghost world first.

He remembered that this world used to be a quagmire, with black tombstones everywhere, like a huge abandoned cemetery.

From a bird's-eye view, the current ghost world has changed significantly.

Three large cities can be seen on the ground, namely the capital Black Stone City, the City of Learning, and Tombstone City.

Some towns and villages were built around these three cities, and the entire world also completed the preliminary construction of roads and bridges. There is even a [Wind Speed ​​Road] that connects the three cities.

Lu Yao observed them one by one.

Blackrock City is the earliest city in the area. In addition to the local undertakers and ghosts, there are also some foreign residents, including war cats, shell people and monks.

Although this city is not large in scale, its appearance is not much different from that of the Yao clan's cities. It has temples, markets and residential areas, ghost lighthouses and libraries. The only difference is that there are still many black tombstones in the city.

The City of Learning abandoned the traditional method of using tombstones as building units like Black Rock City, and instead used bricks, stones and sand roses to create a square urban plan.

The residential area is outside the city.

The city was divided into many small schools: Theology Preparatory School, Mathematics Preparatory School, Medicine Preparatory School, Potion Preparatory School, Military Preparatory School, Construction Engineering Preparatory School...

These schools have clear positioning, specializing in teaching and examinations in a certain field, helping students enter higher education institutions for further study. Pixel people come and go in a hurry and in an orderly manner.

Lu Yao was secretly amazed.

The path of the City of Learning is to become a complex of training institutions and industrialize education. The ghost world itself has a poor foundation and scarce resources, so it really needs to fight for education. This is a bold and forward-looking path.

The third city, Tombstone City, caught Lu Yao's attention.

The core industry of this emerging city was the production of tombs and coffins.

The city was littered with two- or three-story black tombstones, with stones standing next to them, engraved with words such as [Tombstone Customization], [Grave Planning and Surveying], [Luxury Grave Park Undertaking], [Luxury Single-Family Tombs Customization], and [High-Quality and Affordable Single Coffins].

Lu Yao was a little confused. Could this really support a city? He noticed that two skeletons came to one of the tombstones.

A member of the funeral tribe received them.

"Welcome, welcome. How can I help you?"

One of the skeletons said, "We need to build a cemetery with two levels of tombstones, a garden, stables and kennels."

"Oh? May I ask where exactly it is, how many people are there, and what is the budget?"

"In the Resurrection Kingdom, in a village outside of Kencheng, there are only two of us, three bone horses, and a large skeleton dog."

The funeral tribe took out a notebook and started recording.

"We need to conduct an on-site inspection first. Regardless of whether the deal is concluded or not, the inspection fee needs to be paid. Is this acceptable to you?"

"I understand. A comrade of mine has already reserved a cemetery, and I know you guys well. The place is flat, not far from them, and we can build a house directly after surveying it. You guys should hurry up."

The funeral tribe boss nodded: "I see, that's great."

"There is one more." The skeleton customer emphasized: "There must also be a check-in ceremony. Are you still giving it away for free now?"

"Yes, we will continue to deliver until the end of the year."

The two sides began to discuss in detail.

Lu Yao looked around again. Many tombstone shops were discussing similar business, surveying sites, and negotiating construction methods, styles, and materials...

He also quickly saw the so-called move-in ceremony.

When the cemetery is completed and handed over, four ghouls will carry the coffin and dance, and people will play musical instruments next to them, such as the keghorn xylophone box, which is a very local feature.

Lu Yao also opened his eyes.

The education industry began to drive the local economy and education in the barren ghost world, and the cemetery real estate industry followed closely behind.

Especially in the cemetery and coffin customization industry, the ghost world is directly connected with the resurrection kingdom. There are tens of millions of skeleton ancestors there, and they are generally rich. With the development of society, people's living needs are increasing day by day. After their lives get better, the skeletons have more pursuits for their living environment.

Most of the Bone Ancestors still prefer cemeteries and tombs, so they come to the Ghost Realm and hire the Undertaker Clan to design and customize their own tombs, thus creating a city out of the Ghost Realm.

Lu Yao sighed.

You Guishen is good at grasping the economy and demand, he is a talented person.

…

Lu Yao turned his gaze to the Zhulu Kingdom on the other side.

While people are building high-rise buildings and hosting banquets next door, this side remains largely untouched.

Zhulu Country only had one city, Huanshan City, but this city was ridiculously large. It stretched in all directions, connecting the surrounding villages through mountain roads and highways, more like a huge urban circle.

Slymode said that the construction and planning of Huanshan City were based on the Crystal City of the former imperial capital. Therefore, the cores of the two are highly consistent, with an absolute city core and the others being extensions of this main trunk.

From a bird's-eye view, the biggest feature Lu Yao saw was that there were more bamboo gardens in Zhulu Kingdom, and there were bamboo gardens of different colors, including dark green, light green, yellow, and some purple bamboos that were individually fenced off and cared for.

Next to the bamboo garden are stone-fenced farms where bamboo rats, a local specialty livestock, are raised.

These bamboo rats were smoked, dried in the sun, pickled, and other methods by the reed people and bamboo workers, then tied up with ropes and there were steam carriages waiting to transport them.

In addition, there are some commercial packaging of bamboo shoots and bamboo fungus, as well as brewing bamboo wine.

What Lu Yao was more interested in were the colorful bamboo forests.

He saw pixelated people also roaming in the colorful bamboo forest.

One of the merchants, Yan Huang, asked, "How is the purple bamboo this year?"

"There are two." The reed farmer who received him said, "Purple bamboo can only grow in places where gods perform miracles. In recent years, Lord Bamboo Reed King has rarely performed miracles. It's Lord Bamboo Man who's been running around and handling worldly affairs."

"Can you leave one for our Chamber of Commerce?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"No." The reed farmer wearing a reed spike on his head said, "This year we can only have a public auction, and the new bamboo will take many years to grow..."

"The price is getting higher and higher. It seems we won't be able to get it this year." Yan Huang sighed: "There are still too few purple bamboo canes, and they grow slowly."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Purple bamboo is the blessing and gift from the gods, and it's also a miracle of the world itself. Holding purple bamboo brings you closer to the will of the gods, and it can also prolong your life." Lu Min said.

Lu Yao touched his chin.

Is this true or false?

He opened the backstage of the Yao clan's world headquarters and found the entry for [bamboo]. In the detailed branches below, he indeed found [purple bamboo].

What Lu Min said was indeed correct. Purple bamboo was indeed a special type of bamboo formed after the miraculous unfolding of the Bamboo Reed King. It was also a more advanced material than other bamboos. It was very friendly to all kinds of energy, and was flexible and fire-resistant.

But other than that, there is nothing special.

The Zhulu Kingdom packaged purple bamboo with theology, turning it into a high-end luxury product and top collectible. The price of the made walking stick is equivalent to that of a latest fourth-generation flying boat.

Many merchants are also raising the price, so Zizhu has now become a rising star among the high-end collections of the Yao civilization.

Yellow bamboo is the companion bamboo of purple bamboo, and its price has also risen accordingly.

Today, bamboo in Zhulu Country is divided into two tracks: cash crops and high-end luxury goods.

The former meets the daily needs of ordinary people, while the latter gathers various forces to raise the price. The apostle Zhunan attracts a large number of businessmen and some scholars to stand on the platform in order to earn money from wealthy groups, giving it more social, cultural and collection value.

Lu Yao observed it carefully again and found that the whole process was more complicated than it seemed, and it was obvious that there was an instruction from the Bamboo King behind it. The continuous praise and reports of the "Shacheng Dibao" and "Ben Daily" also made the image of purple bamboo representing nobility and divine grace deeply rooted in people's hearts.

King Zhulu is very good at publicity and public relations.

…

After Lu Yao carefully inspected the two divine kingdoms, the only doubt he had was completely dispelled.

These two gods have been with Sand City for a long time. Even though they didn't get any resources or care, they didn't give up and wait for help. Instead, they found their own unique development paths, which reflected the two gods' ability in management and development.

It is enough to have the ability, the perseverance and no bad habits.

After receiving the order, Slemmod went to extend the invitation.

"Lord Yao has issued an oracle to formally invite you two to join the order of gods of the Yao civilization. What do you think?"

“I couldn’t ask for more!”

"willing!"

The two gods readily agreed.

On the screen, the ghost god is a purple round fruit with two slanted eyes and two short legs. The Bamboo Reed King is an old savage with leaves all over his head and wearing animal skins.

Both of them had smiling faces on their heads.

"finally!"

"Thank you for accepting us, Lord Yaoshen! We will do our best to continue to contribute to the Yao civilization."

With this, two more statues were added to the temple, and the number of gods reached 15.

Lu Yao typed and announced their appointment.

——The ghost god goes to Blood Hill and is responsible for the Blood Hill world. Let Yanjiu cooperate with you.

"Yes, Master Zhengshen!"

A sinister smile appeared on the head of the walking ghost god: "I will definitely develop that world covered with blood. Please wait for my good news!"

——King Zhulu went to Crystal City. The glass industry there had been in a state of stagnation, so he went there to run it well.

Zhu Lu Wang also said, "Yes, Master Zhengshen."

Lu Yao had considered it.

The ghost god is good at economic industries, so go to the Blood Hill to explore the value of the local sea of ​​blood.

Zhu Lu Wang is very good at mobilizing public opinion and creating product concepts, which is exactly what glass products need to innovate.

After finishing his work, Lu Yao ordered a takeout of braised pork rice.

I haven’t had takeout for a while, and this tasted especially delicious.

While he was consuming his meal, the computer screen displayed the same message again.

【The Divine King Wuji prays to you. 】

Is there something wrong with the Xirang Project? Lu Yao put down his chopsticks and clicked on the entry.

The scene jumps to the white mine.

King Wuji nodded and said, "Master Zhengshen, we have discovered a large amount of [Shen Element] in the Xirang."

"Philas and the White Castle team have completed preliminary surveys and tests and confirmed this conclusion. [Shen Element] was originally difficult to obtain, but the content here is relatively high and very stable... The [Crystal Phase Dissociation Cannon], which was previously difficult to manufacture due to the lack of Shen Element, will soon have a significantly increased reserve quantity!"

Lu Yao was overjoyed.

This is good news!
