Building an "artificial vein" is not an easy task. First, you must dig a well and estimate the negative energy concentration underground to calculate how deep the initial tunnel should be.
Theoretically speaking, the deeper the tunnel is dug, the better. On the one hand, the deeper the tunnel is dug, the higher the underground temperature and the higher the concentration of negative energy, which is more suitable for the growth of special mushrooms and of course the higher the yield.
But... the deeper you dig, the higher the concentration of negative energy and the more dangerous it becomes.
Putting aside the out-of-standard guys like Sui Xiong, ordinary spell casters also have ways to resist negative energy. Of course, spellcasters cannot be allowed to work as coolies when digging tunnels. Those workers are just mortals with no special abilities. Even with Felix's protection, it is too dangerous to work in a high-concentration negative energy environment.
Neither Sui Xiong nor Felix are the kind of shady businessmen who are looking for money. Of course, matters involving human life are not trivial, so careful calculations must be made to achieve a balance between reducing investment and reducing risks as much as possible.
This is a delicate job that Sui Xiong can't do, and neither can Felix. All they can do is dig a well and provide the required information. As for the calculation work, Sui Xiong searched around and found an envoy from the Kingdom of the Goddess of Wealth and a former prime minister of the kingdom. After several days of careful calculation, he came up with a reliable piece of information.
The former prime minister promised that as long as the construction could be carried out according to the safety plan he drew up, there would be absolutely no actual danger. Not only that, he also made some important suggestions - the initial tunnel can be artificially heated, and there is no need to dig four, just one.
As an artist, Sui Xiong's customary aesthetics of symmetry are of no use in a place like this.
Naturally, this matter was not hidden from Sui Xiong's allies. The gods of the wild pantheon were not interested in Sui Xiong's social experiment, but Morani reminded him that this method of man-made underground mineral veins is likely to attract greed. The black dragon Koladema.
The Dragon God, who is known as the "Lord of Darkness Underground", controls the two priesthoods of underground caves and underground ruins. In the past two thousand years, he has been reaching out to the priesthood of underground mineral veins, which is quite contradictory to the dwarf pantheon. Last time Sui Xiong built an underground maze, this guy came to blackmail him. At that time, he was driven away by Yorgardman, the God of Justice. Afterwards, because he was busy having disputes with the dwarf god system, he never came to cause trouble again.
—But that definitely doesn’t mean that guy will just see the benefits and not reach out!
"If that guy comes, I will find someone to deal with him." Morani said, "I have good relations with several gods of the dwarf god system. When the time comes, I will rope them in to besiege this greedy old dragon, even if it doesn't kill him. He must also give Him a severe blow!"
As the forging god of the half-orcs, Morani has a good relationship with the forging gods of various pantheons. In Sui Xiong's view, this is a natural friendship among technical geeks. Almost everyone can forge the dwarf pantheon, so the relationship with Morani is particularly good.
In fact, when he first became a god, the main god of the dwarf pantheon, "Thunder Hammer King" Bergen Stone, once sent him an invitation, hoping that he would join the dwarf pantheon, even if he was just a guest. But Lefon came to persuade him personally. Morani was a subordinate of Emperor Lefon when he was a general in the Orc Empire. They had a good relationship with each other, so he agreed to become the guest of the Orc God System.
Even so, it did not affect his relationship with the dwarf gods.
Speaking of which, Sui Xiong really admired Morani's ability. As a half-orc, he was able to exert his own influence in the territory of the orc god system. Moreover, I can make friends with both sides and have friends everywhere. Not only that, each of his followers is an outstanding talent. Even the two silly guys, Big Catfish and Big Earthworm, actually have outstanding abilities. One can purify poisonous swamps, and the other can fertilize soil, both are extremely useful.
In comparison, Sui Xiong felt that he was a bit of a failure. After being around for so many years, except for Joel Gardman, Morani, Mannis, and Weyer, he had almost no friends at the god level. Such as the God of Redemption, etc., they are just casual acquaintances; Wall and Ariel are close friends, but that is because they have received great favor from him...
It's just that he overlooked one thing. Morani's interpersonal relationships have been slowly accumulated over thousands of years. In comparison, it has only been less than thirty years since his debut. He has made so many friends in such a short period of time. In the eyes of other gods, he is already a representative of long-sleeved skills.
However, there is one thing that Sui Xiong is indeed inferior to Morani. Morani has been around for thousands of years and has not made many real enemies. However, Sui Xiong has only been in the industry for less than thirty years. Let alone ordinary grievances, even life and death feuds. Got more than one knot. Moreover, his enemies are spread all over the world, from all walks of life, ranging from legendary monsters to powerful divine powers. Even some of the demon monarchs in the abyss who have extremely chaotic personalities remember him firmly and never forget to kill him. Make trouble for him.
His ability to cause trouble is also considered a specialty.
For example, the social progress experiment he is currently conducting, even if he does not realize it himself, has actually violated the interests of many gods and traditional forces. It is just that the plate is not big and no one has noticed it.
If nothing else, in a few years, the cave god Koladema would come to trouble him.
Of course, Sui Xiong doesn't buy Koladema's account now. Back then, after the battle, he was seriously injured, but that damn black lizard actually dared to add insult to injury and take advantage of the situation. He had taken note of this fact. Brother Xiong has always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. Those who help him and those who cause trouble for him will be punished!
"It's best for that black dragon to come and cause trouble for me!" After hearing Morani's words, he sneered and said, "I'll make dragon broth and drink it then!"
A few months later, the raw materials for dragon broth were not delivered to the door, but the God of Diplomacy of the human pantheon 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 Er were also invited.
To be honest, Sui Xiong didn't like the Lord of Glory. But when people invited him politely, he was always embarrassed to refuse with a straight face, so he agreed and prepared a small gift.
The banquet was not held in the "Land of Glory", the divine kingdom of human gods, but was chosen to be in the void of the main plane, a place that was very vast and could not hide any traps. The Human God Department arranged the venue in a very grand manner. Although it was not luxurious, it had a majestic feeling that people could not help but admire. It fully reflected the heritage of the world's number one God Department.
The banquet took the form of a buffet, with all kinds of rare food placed around the venue for anyone to take. Sui Xiong was surprised to find a lot of Chinese-style dishes. After asking Weiye about it, he found out that many people in the human pantheon were very interested in the dishes at the Mask of the Void amusement park. They had studied and researched them, and based on Some adjustments were made to their flavors.
This kind of adjustment may not be in line with Sui Xiong's taste, but it fully reflects the momentum of a sea that can accommodate all rivers, and the confidence to take the strengths of others and use them for my own use. Sui Xiong couldn't help but think more highly of the Lord of Glory, the leader of the human pantheon.
After the banquet was held for a while, the Lord of Glory, who had left after the opening speech, appeared again. Only this time, the majestic God King put on a chef's uniform and pushed a large dining cart into the venue.
"I got an extremely rare ingredient not long ago. It took me a long time to process it. I finally got it today." The Lord of Glory, who had always been serious and cold, showed a smile on his face. "It's rare for friends to gather together. , while everyone is happy, I will share this precious dish with everyone!"
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 a bad suspicion.
Looking around, many gods looked a bit ugly, probably thinking of him.
However, as the saying goes, "Good things don't work but bad things work." In everyone's anxious eyes, the Lord of Glory smiled and lifted the lid of the dining car. I saw a large pot inside the dining car. In the center of the large pot, a ball of sunny things was floating in the soup, simmering the milky white soup until it boiled slightly.
A breeze blows, the soup water is rippling, and the fragrance is overflowing. Smelling this fragrance makes people feel energetic, and a vague power penetrates into the body, and it seems that even the divine power has been improved.
But the expressions of every discerning god changed. Some were dumbfounded, some were dumbfounded, some were frightened, and some were almost nauseated... Well, there were also many people who licked their tongues to show their eagerness to try. .
(Ouch! This guy really did this trick again!)
Sui Xiong could tell at a glance that the thing that was both a dish and a fire was none other than the Sun God who had been killed by the Lord of Glory before!
"Last time, many people were dissatisfied with my Ancient God Wine." The Lord of Glory said, "Thanks to all the hard work I put in and risking my life to collect raw materials, I didn't expect that so many people don't like drinking."
He shook his head as he spoke, showing a very regretful expression.
(Hey! It’s not a matter of whether you like drinking or not! You cut off your own Creator to make wine, who the hell can drink it!)
Naturally, the Lord of Glory couldn't hear Sui Xiong's complaints. He sighed and added: "I learned from the experience and thought it must be because many of my friends don't like to drink. So this time I changed my policy and stewed a pot of soup."
He pointed at the pot of slightly boiling milky white hot soup and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this soup is inspired by His Majesty the Void Mask's playground."
Sui Xiong almost jumped up and couldn't help shouting: "Why is this kind of soup stewed in my playground!"
"Isn't this one of the signature dishes in your amusement park in winter?" The Lord of Glory said with a smile, "It's called 'hot pot'."
"I had it last time, and it was really interesting. At that time, I was thinking about what ingredients should be used to make the most unique and delicious hot pot." There was a bit of pride on his face. , “After much thought, I came up with the best material in the world.”
"It is both an ingredient and can be used to make soup. You can boil it by yourself. It has the original taste without any seasoning. It fully embodies the beauty of nature and the purity of food - where else in the world is there anything more suitable for hot pot stew?"
Sui Xiong was silent for a while and asked: "Could it be...that this is the reason why you attacked Cloud City and annihilated the Sun God System?"
"How is that possible!" The Lord of Glory smiled, "I had that plan originally, but I just thought it was best to eat hot pot in winter, so I just moved it forward."
Sui Xiong finally couldn't bear it any longer and sighed deeply, even his tentacles hanging down limply.
Now he can be sure that the Lord of Glory is indeed the senior brother of Brother Joel Gardman. These brothers are actually very similar...
