After hearing this, Nie Yuan felt very dissatisfied deep in his heart.
He said that others will be "cannon fodder" in the future, but the person speaking now has become cannon fodder, and his good fortune has been taken away by his own cheap master.
Who would have thought that in the end it would not be him or Bai Ruocang, but the former master who had always kept a low profile and accepted his coward, would rise to the top.
The opponent is now full of energy, and the entire giant rat clan is as vibrant as an emerging force in history.
Moreover, the surrounding ecological environment is as good as that of rice that rose back then.
Deep underground, there is naturally a lack of competitors.
Develop geothermal energy to completely solve energy problems.
There are abundant underground minerals, but there are still very few minerals that humans can explore and develop. After all, humans have to consider costs and mostly focus on developing shallow rich minerals.
The average lifespan of a giant rat is 20 years, which is not conducive to the accumulation of knowledge, but it matures early and reaches adulthood at three to four years old, which is conducive to the replacement of the lower-level labor force.
The aging society that will appear in humans is destined to be impossible in giant rats, because the old age period only lasts two to three years.
An important basis for an aging society is the substantial increase in average life expectancy.
"Looking at your appearance, you don't seem to take it seriously?" the ancestor of the Bai family said coldly.
"Well, Yuan'er definitely doesn't dare. Our ancestors have seen thousands of miles away. In the future, knight A will be shattered to pieces and die without a burial place. He can only be a shooting star, passing by in a hurry." Nie Yuan quickly complimented.
But in this situation, his compliments were full of irony.
"Huh, Mingjian Wanli... I underestimated him. His connection with the way of heaven is closer than I thought. I made a wrong step and that's what led to this. No wonder many cultivators in the upper world have to cut off their earthly ties before entering the world. , I am defeated by this. Everything has been doomed a long time ago, I can’t blame others." The ancestor of the Bai family shook his head.
Nie Yuan secretly smiled in his heart. Who would care about his son if he has achieved great things since ancient times? Just die and regenerate.
Oh, no, it seems that this old man just couldn't have any more children, so he paid too much attention to Mr. Cang, and fell into the big hole dug by Knight A.
Sure enough, the knight A seems to be upright and upright. He only knows how to do chivalry and practice martial arts every day, but in fact he is a sinister villain, full of schemes!
He had protected Bai Ruocang under his sect for a long time. At that time, everyone thought that he was benevolent and righteous, but now it seems that he had far-reaching intentions!
People as powerful as the ancestors of the Bai family fell into his trap because of this.
No wonder no one has been able to take advantage of him since his debut, and he seems to have never suffered any losses.
To say that he is as wise as he is foolish, this person should be the number one in the world today.
Thinking of this, Nie Yuan couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring.
He suddenly remembered that the last time he stole a book, no, borrowed a book, he seemed to have been knocked unconscious once. Now that he thought about it, it could only have been done by Knight A.
I was lucky enough not to be beaten to death.
It seems that stealing books is not a serious crime. After all, it is the business of scholars. Stealing books cannot be considered stealing.
He said cautiously: "Ancestor, then I will step back and make plans. I believe that in three to five years at the earliest, or in three to five months at the earliest, Knight A will be able to let you out."
"Don't be impatient. It's good for me to stay here. It's just a chance to avoid disaster. I can sit and watch some loyal ministers and filial sons carry forward my legacy." The ancestor of the Bai family said calmly, as if he was in no hurry to come out.
When Nie Yuan heard this, he was shocked again. This old guy really took one step at a time and counted three steps at a time.
The other party has anticipated the worst consequences of any action and is guaranteed to be able to bear it, and only then will they choose that action.
He immediately leaned down, bowed three times, put down some food and elixirs, and left.
From beginning to end, he didn't explain what his plan was, and the ancestor of the Bai family didn't ask.
… …
Giant Rat Underground King City, the rich rat area in the center.
The so-called "Rich Rat Zone" is just an unwritten name that has recently begun to circulate among giant rats and has not appeared in any official documents.
The people who can live here are basically giant rat demons who can transform into humans and live longer than ordinary people.
Regardless of strength, lifespan, or wisdom, they are better than ordinary humans, but the number is too small.
Out of a thousand giant rats, maybe only two or three can successfully transform into demons, which is less than one percent.
The giant rat clan already has a population of over 100 million rats, but there are less than a million rat demons, but this is already the largest number of demons on earth.
They are the mainstay of the Giant Rat Kingdom, mastering the knowledge of social operations, mastering the cultivation method, and now, they also have huge wealth.
Before Bai Shixin came to power, the ancestors of the Bai family pursued a primitive public ownership system, allocating resources based on individual contributions.
All industries are owned by the same clan, and all output—grain, minerals, medicinal materials, foreign exchange, etc.—are owned by the public and then distributed uniformly according to individual contributions.
As the founder, the ancestor of the Bai family has high prestige and strong power. No one dissents and no one dares to disapprove.
There is no distinction between the poor and the rich, only the distribution of materials based on individual contributions.
Whoever possesses higher skills and contributes more value will be allocated more things, such as living in a good house, using good elixirs, eating good food... all costs are no less than those of the rich on the ground.
On the contrary, those who can only use vulgar words will only have food to feed themselves and a place to stand.
From this point of view, the ancestor of the Bai family achieved fair distribution.
After all, except for a throne that can gather the telekinesis of the clan members, there is no need for him to be selfish like humans.
His goal is to become a god, not to enjoy it.
Bai Shixin was different. As soon as he came to power and gained a little foothold, one thing he did was to divide the houses...
All giant rat monsters, those who can transform into humans, have at least one permanent property and permanently tax-free house in the central city.
These giant rat monsters are not fools, on the contrary, they are smarter than humans.
This is the capital of the giant rat. You may not be able to tell it now, but in the future, this will be a huge wealth.
As soon as the house is divided, many potential undercurrents disappear immediately.
After all, if someone else comes to power, they may not have the guts to overturn the ancestor's previous rules and allocate houses directly to them.
In the past, they only had the right to use this house and could not sublet it or use it to obtain income, let alone sell it for mortgage.
But now it is different. They can renovate and rent out as they like, or even mortgage and sell.
Very few choose to sell, but at the critical moment of cultivation, if they lack funds to buy elixirs, they will choose to sell. After all, cultivation is a big deal, and other external items can be put behind.
In the past, the ancestors of the Bai family mainly focused on the accelerated development of the giant rat clan.
Bai Shixin's current energy is more focused on consolidating his own power.
It's not that Bai Shixin is selfish, but that he has to do this.
He needs to firmly capture the demonic hearts of nearly a million giant rats. These are the "giant rat citizens". The remaining giant rats can only be regarded as first-rate livestock.
At this time, in the central Fushu District, a luxuriously decorated bar was very lively.
A group of giant rat demons, all wearing silk robes to mark their different identities, were sitting and drinking slowly in the bar.
"The new king is indeed a new look, Lao Ma, you are a bucket level, and you are assigned two villas; I am a tableware level, but you are only allocated an apartment. There is only one cultivation level, but the difference in treatment is so big." The giant rat demon wearing only a white robe seemed to be grumbling.
"Hmph, if you want to get more houses, you have to practice hard. This was not a good thing before, and the new king is still generous." A giant rat demon wearing a blue robe on the opposite side replied disdainfully.
"The new king is generous, but have you noticed it? Recently, I always feel that the fierce and enterprising spirit of our giant rat clan has been reduced a lot." A giant rat demon wearing a black robe next to him had some worry on his face.
"Haha, why are you worried about this? It was not a rat's life in the past. It was still dark, and you had to start work at 4 o'clock. If you work slower, you will be reported. How can we have the comfortable life now? After work, I can still drink, surf the Internet... and sleep until 8 o'clock in the morning." The blue-robed rat demon said nonchalantly.
"But there are constant troubles above. If our development slows down, how will we deal with the spread in the future?" The black-robed rat demon is still full of worries.
"It's not your turn or mine to worry about. The king and his ministers have to worry about it. Let's just practice, drink and have fun." The white-robed rat demon said with relief.
So the three rat demons continued to drink and brag, and this situation seemed to pervade the entire bar.
In a corner of the bar, Nie Yuan, who had just returned from the City of Righteousness, was sitting aside and watching with cold eyes.
As expected, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
If the giant rat clan fails, it will turn into a group of Eight Banners disciples again.
