Building an "artificial mine" was not an easy task. First of all, wells had to be dug, and the concentration of negative energy underground had to be estimated to calculate how deep the initial tunnel should be dug.
In theory, the deeper the tunnel was dug, the better. Firstly, the deeper it was, the higher the temperature underground, and the higher the concentration of negative energy, which was more suitable for the growth of special mushrooms, and of course, the higher the yield.
But … the deeper the tunnel was, the higher the concentration of negative energy, and the more dangerous it was.
Not to mention Sui Xiong, who was an outsider, ordinary spellcasters also had ways to resist negative energy. But of course, when digging the tunnel, spellcasters could not be used as coolies. Those laborers were just mortals without special abilities. Even with the protection of Felix, it was too dangerous to work in an environment with a high concentration of negative energy.
Neither Sui Xiong nor Felix were the kind of black-hearted businessmen who only cared about money. Things that concerned human lives could not be taken lightly, so they had to calculate carefully, and try to find a balance between reducing investment and reducing risk.
This was a meticulous job that Sui Xiong could not do, and neither could Felix. All they could do was dig the well and provide the required information. As for the calculation, Sui Xiong looked around and found an oracle from the God Kingdom of the Goddess of Wealth, a former prime minister of the kingdom. After a few days of careful calculation, he finally got a reliable piece of information.
The former prime minister guaranteed that as long as the safety plan was followed, there would be absolutely no actual danger. Not only that, but he also made some important suggestions — the initial tunnel could be artificially heated, and there was no need to dig four, just one would be enough.
Sui Xiong's habitual symmetrical aesthetics as an artist did not need to be used here.
Naturally, this matter was not hidden from Sui Xiong's allies. The gods of the Barbarian God System were not interested in Sui Xiong's social experiment, but Morani reminded him that this kind of artificial underground mine was likely to attract the greedy black dragon Coladelma.
The dragon god, known as the "Dark Ruler of the Underground," controlled the two priesthoods of the underground cave and the underground ruins. In the last one or two thousand years, he had been reaching out for the priesthoods of the underground mine, and had quite a conflict with the Dwarf God System. Last time when Sui Xiong was building the underground labyrinth, this guy had come to blackmail him. At that time, he was driven away by the God of Justice, Yorgaardman. Afterwards, because he was busy arguing with the Dwarf God System, he did not come to make trouble again.
But that didn't mean that he wouldn't do anything when there were benefits to be had!
"If that guy comes, I'll find someone to deal with him." Morani said. "I have a good relationship with a few gods of the Dwarf God System. When the time comes, I'll pull them together to besiege this greedy old dragon. Even if we don't kill him, we'll at least severely injure him!"
As the God of Forging of the Beastmen, Morani had a good relationship with the Gods of Forging of the various God Systems. In Sui Xiong's view, this was a natural friendship between technical geeks. Almost everyone in the Dwarf God System knew how to forge, so their relationship with Morani was exceptionally good.
In fact, when he had just been apotheosized, the Main God of the Dwarf God System, the King of Thunder Hammer, Bergen Stone, had invited him to join the Dwarf God System, even if it was just as a guest. However, Lefon personally came to persuade him. Back when Morani was a general in the Orc Empire, he was a subordinate of Emperor Lefon. They had a good relationship, so he agreed to become a foreign minister of the Orc God System.
Even so, it didn't affect his relationship with the Dwarf God System.
Speaking of which, Sui Xiong really admired Morani's ability. As a Beastman, he was able to establish his own power in the Orc God System's territory. Moreover, he was able to benefit from both sides and make friends everywhere. Not only that, each of his followers were outstanding talents. Even the two silly fellows, the big catfish and the big earthworm, actually had outstanding abilities. One could purify the poisonous swamp, and the other could fertilize the soil. Both were extremely useful.
In comparison, Sui Xiong felt that he was a bit of a failure. After so many years, apart from Yorgaardman, Morani, Manissy, and Javier, he had almost no friends at the level of gods. For example, the God of Redemption and so on, they were just casual friends. Wall and Ariel were close friends, but that was because they had received a great favor from him …
However, he neglected one point. Morani's interpersonal relationships had been slowly built up over thousands of years. In comparison, it had been less than 30 years since his debut. In such a short time, he had made so many friends. In the eyes of other gods, he was already the representative of a man with money and power.
However, there was one thing that Sui Xiong was not as good as Morani. Morani had been around for thousands of years and had not made many real enemies, but Sui Xiong had only been around for less than 30 years. Not to mention ordinary grievances, he had made more than one life and death enemy. Moreover, his enemies were all over the world, in all walks of life, from legendary monsters to great Divine Powers. Even the extremely chaotic demon kings in the abyss remembered him firmly and never forgot to make trouble for him.
His ability to cause trouble could be considered one of the best.
For example, the experiment of social progress that he was currently engaged in, even if he didn't feel it, in fact, it had violated the interests of many gods and traditional forces. It was just that the plate was not big, so people hadn't noticed it yet.
Not to mention other things, in a few years, the God of Caves, Coladema, would come to make trouble for him.
Of course, Sui Xiong didn't buy Coladema's words now. That damned black lizard actually dared to hit him when he was down and take advantage of his misfortune after the great battle. He had remembered this debt. Brother Xiong had always been clear about kindness and hatred. Those who helped him or made trouble for him, he would definitely repay them!
"It's best if that black dragon comes to make trouble for me!" After listening to Morani's words, he sneered and said, "At that time, I will cook dragon meat soup to drink!"
A few months later, the raw materials for dragon meat soup did not arrive. Instead, the Human God System's God of Diplomacy came to visit again.
This time, he came to deliver an invitation. The God of Light was holding a banquet and invited friends to attend. As comrades who helped him deal with the Sun God System, Sui Xiong and Wall were also invited.
To be honest, Sui Xiong didn't like the God of Light. But since he was invited politely, he couldn't refuse with a straight face, so he agreed and prepared a small gift.
The banquet was not held in the Human God System's God Kingdom, the Country of Light. Instead, it was chosen in the void of the Main Plane, a very vast place where no traps could be hidden. The Human God System decorated the venue very grandly. Although it was not luxurious, it had a sense of grandeur that people couldn't help but admire, fully reflecting the heritage of the world's first god system.
The banquet was in the form of a buffet. All kinds of rare food were placed around the venue for anyone to take. Sui Xiong was surprised to find many China -style dishes. After asking Javier, he found out that many people in the Human God System were interested in the dishes of the Void Mask Amusement Park. They had specially studied and studied it, and made some adjustments according to their tastes.
This kind of adjustment might not be very in line with Sui Xiong's taste, but it fully reflected a kind of great and tolerant momentum, as well as the confidence to use the strengths of others for oneself. This made Sui Xiong couldn't help but think more highly of the God of Light, the leader of the Human God System.
After the banquet was held for a while, the God of Light, who had left after the opening speech, appeared again. But this time, the dignified God King had changed into a chef's uniform and pushed a large dining cart into the venue.
"Not long ago, I obtained an extremely rare ingredient. It took me a long time to process it, and today, I have finally done it." The God of Light, who had always been serious and cold, smiled. "It's rare for all my friends to gather together. While everyone is happy, I will share this precious dish with everyone!"
Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment. He remembered a crazy thing that the God of Light had done before, and he couldn't help but have a terrible guess.
Looking around, many gods' faces were a little ugly, probably thinking about the same thing as Sui Xiong.
However, as the saying went, "Good things don't happen, but bad things do." Under everyone's uneasy gaze, the God of Light smiled and opened the lid of the dining cart. They saw that there was a big pot in the dining cart. In the center of the pot, a ball of something shining brightly was floating in the soup, stewing the milky white soup until it was slightly boiling.
A light breeze blew, and the soup rippled, filling the air with its fragrance. Smelling this fragrance made people feel energized, and there was even a vague power that seeped into their bodies, as if even their Divine Power had increased.
However, the expressions of every knowledgeable god changed. There were those who were dumbfounded, those who did not know whether to laugh or cry, those who turned pale with fright, and those who almost wanted to vomit … Uh, there were also many who licked their lips and revealed an eager expression.
What the f * ck! This guy is really playing this kind of trick again!
Sui Xiong could tell at a glance that the thing that was both a dish and a stove was none other than the Sun God, who had been killed by the God of Light previously!
"Last time, many people were not satisfied with my Ancient God wine," the God of Light said. "To think that I spent so much effort and risked my life to collect the raw materials. I never thought that there would be so many people who don't like to drink wine."
As he spoke, he shook his head, revealing a very regretful expression.
Hey! That's not even a question of whether you like to drink wine or not! You've chopped up your own Creator to make wine, who the hell can drink it!
Of course, the God of Light could not hear Sui Xiong's complaints. He sighed and said, "I learned from my painful experience and felt that it must be because many of my friends don't like to drink wine. So this time, I changed my approach and made a pot of soup. "
He pointed at the pot of milky white soup that was slightly boiling and smiled. "Speaking of which, this soup was inspired by His Majesty the Void Mask's amusement park."
Sui Xiong almost jumped up and could not help but shout, "How can my amusement park make such a soup!"
"Isn't this one of the signature dishes of your amusement park in winter?" the God of Light said with a smile. "It's called 'hot pot.'"
"I had it once before, and it was indeed very interesting. At that time, I was thinking about what ingredients to use to make the most unique and most delicious hot pot. " There was a hint of pride on his face. "After thinking about it for a long time, I thought of the best material in the world."
"Since it is an ingredient, it can also be used to make soup. Boil it by itself, and the original taste is not needed. It fully reflects the beauty of nature and the purity of food — what else in the world is more suitable than this to make hot pot? "
Sui Xiong was silent for a while and asked, "Could it be … that this is the reason why you attacked Cloud City and destroyed the Sun God System?"
"How could it be!" The God of Light laughed. "I originally had that plan. It was just that I thought that eating hot pot in winter would be the most suitable, so I brought it forward."
Sui Xiong finally could not bear it anymore and sighed deeply. Even his tentacles softly drooped down.
Now he could confirm that the God of Light was indeed Big Brother Yorgaardman's senior. This pair of brothers were actually very similar …
