After Sui Xiong heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
On Earth, there is a group of good guys who select a "Darwin Award" every year. This award is given to those who "destroy themselves through stupid ways and make profound contributions to human evolution (Darwin's theory)."
To put it simply, "This guy is really stupid. It's not that he has a low IQ, but that he's stupid! He's so stupid that it will greatly help improve the average IQ of mankind"... Well, that can be said roughly.
Sui Xiong remembered that he had seen a compiled record. The people who had won the Darwin Award over the years were different. In short, they all made people think - damn, if this guy dies, it will help improve human IQ!
For example, there is a skydiving instructor who emphasizes to the students the safety essentials that must be paid attention to when skydiving. He is probably emphasizing that "you must carry your parachute bag no matter what, otherwise you will fall to death." In order to prove that what he said is reasonable , jumped off the plane.
For another example, a man's sister stepped on a power line and was electrocuted. When the man explained the incident to his neighbor, he also demonstrated the scene at that time. He also stepped on the unprotected wire with his bare feet.
For another example, in order to prove to visitors that the floor-to-ceiling glass windows in his office were very strong, he jumped up and hit them after accelerating - his office was on the 24th floor, and there were people coming and going outside the window. The streets - well, the streets.
For another example, a gambler plays the notorious life gambling game "Russian Roulette" with others. What most people do is to find a revolver, put only one bullet in the gun, and then spin the drum a few times. , everyone took turns shooting at themselves. What he did was to find an automatic pistol and bang bang bang bang at his head... maybe it was just a bang, after all, he only had one head.
One example that impressed Sui Xiong most was that of a thief who tried to steal the oil in the tank by inserting a plastic tube into a car's fuel tank and sucking out the gasoline with his mouth. However, he found a cleaning truck and inserted plastic pipes into the area where the waste water was stored - and he died of poisoning.
All in all, these guys provided people with a lot of warnings and jokes, and Sui Xiong was overjoyed every time he thought of their deeds.
Now, there is one more person in this ranks.
Sui Xiong felt that if there were a "Darwin Award" selection held in this world, this year's Darwin Award would definitely belong to the God of Rain!
He turned his thoughts into stories and told them to his friends. Everyone laughed very happily.
In any case, the fact of being "so stupid" is enough to make people happy.
However, this joy did not last long. After only a month or two, problems appeared.
With the death of the God of Rain, the vow of the God of Drought was no longer resisted, and the rainfall on the entire main plane began to decrease significantly, as if there were signs of a dry season.
This makes mortals worried. Too much rainfall is naturally bad, but drought is even more terrible. Especially if this year's drought is not alleviated by the God of Rain, I don't know how intense it will be!
From the New Year to the snowmelt in spring, there were only two rains in the entire north of the main plane, and neither was heavy. There was a little more rain in the south, with three or four rains, but compared to previous years, it was still too little.
Then, the spring plowing season arrives.
On earth, there is a saying that "spring rain is as valuable as oil", which means that crops need rain during spring plowing. Although this proverb does not exist in this world, there are similar proverbs with similar meanings.
But this year, the spring rain, which is as precious as oil, is really as precious as oil, so pitiful.
After the entire spring plowing season ended, it rained in the northern region. The light rain lasted for about an afternoon, covering less than one-third of the continent.
There are not many rivers in the north of the main plane. Generally speaking, it is a little dry - this can be seen from the large Gobi and prairie in the north. Now that there is no rain, the drought situation has been greatly aggravated.
The area near the mountains was a little better, since there was snow and water on the mountains, but the situation in the plains and hilly areas gradually became worse.
The south has more rivers and lakes and a solid foundation. Even if it doesn't rain very much, you can still rely on artificial water extraction to fight the drought, and the situation is not that serious.
But of all the southern lords, none of them could feel at ease—God knows how long the drought will last! If it lasts for too long, the South will not be able to bear it!
Don’t forget, the climate in the south is hot, and the water in farmland evaporates quickly. Moreover, the crops in the south are all large water users, so they are in need of water!
However, the development of things will not change according to people's expectations.
After spring comes summer. As the climate becomes hotter, drought conditions also intensify.
In many places in the north, vegetation is gradually drying up. The farmers tried their best to save even a drop of water, but they were unable to revive the crops in the fields, and the vast green prairie that was once green has even turned into large areas of yellow.
The situation in the south is not so severe, but there are already many farmers who are exhausted from fetching water. Many lords even wear armor and go into battle with their troops to guard the water sources of their territories, ready to fight against any enemy who dares to peek at their water sources. Fight a great battle and defend this water of life with your blood.
Under this situation, the good gods could not sit still, and they sent down oracles one after another, asking their priests to help with disaster relief. Many kind-hearted gods even descended into incarnations and used their divine power to open the door to the water elemental plane, leading the rolling torrent into the human sky, turning it into rain and falling down to moisten the earth.
This approach seemed effective at first, but after just a few days, they had to stop.
The Lord of Order has spoken, and the gods are not allowed to interfere too much with the natural environment of the main plane.
He said that it was okay for one or two gods to blow the wind and make it rain occasionally; and it was not impossible for an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption or the like to happen occasionally. But hundreds of gods worked together to draw water resources from the water elemental plane to bring rain to the world. This crossed the line!
Particularly criticized was the orc pantheon. Because of the vast area of the orc grassland, the orc pantheon used its full strength. Hundreds of gods were incarnated in the sky like a big net, opening plane channels one by one, connecting the water element plane and the main body. The planes are connected, and it is pouring rain on the prairie.
Being criticized like this by the Lord of Order, the gods suddenly became silent, and not a single one of them dared to bring rain to the world again.
As a result, the temporarily alleviated drought worsened again, and... it was even more serious than before!
