"Little brother, what's your name?" Anna's first question.
"Shan Qiu." Yue Yang separated the word 'Yue'.
"This name is so old-fashioned." Bao Er pouted cutely, feeling that this was a country bumpkin's name.
"I think it's very nice!" Yue Yang said proudly, angering Bao Er who rolled her eyes at him.
"Where are you from?" Anna's second question.
"Gu Feng Continent." Yue Yang lied without blinking.
"I know that place. It was invaded by demons, but the residents are mostly humans. There are also a few human countries, such as Noah Country and Babel Country. Gu Feng Continent's most famous specialty is the 'Coral Orchid Sea Anemone'. It is a precious creature that can be used as medicine to cure cold snake venom. However, most nobles use it as ornaments to decorate their homes. Oh right, Gu Feng Continent's Red Stone is also very famous. Almost everyone has one. It is the symbol of Gu Feng Continent's rankers. " Anna's words made Yue Yang's head hurt. She was too knowledgeable. If he did not handle it carefully, he would easily give himself away.
"Yes, the Coral Orchid Sea Anemone can not only cure cold snake venom, it can also attract golden-edged starfish. This kind of starfish's crystal core is an extremely rare metal-melting attribute. It is a must in the manufacturing process of some weapons or puppets." Yue Yang had seen Yue Gong's notes in the Puppet Encyclopedia and hurriedly threw away his bag.
"Because of the demon's invasion, in order to prevent women from being raped by demons, it is said that early marriage is common in Gu Feng Continent. Males and females get married at eight or nine years old. Is this true?" Lin En suddenly asked.
"…" Yue Yang sweated profusely. God knows if Gu Feng Continent had such a custom.
"Student, does such a thing really happen in the Gu Feng Continent?" Fatty Hai chimed in, forcing Yue Yang to answer.
"No, the demon's invasion was mainly in the cities. Most of the commoners escaped to the mountains. Although early marriage is common, it is not as exaggerated as eight or nine years old!" Yue Yang forced himself to answer. He made this judgement based on the fact that the dagger girl still relied on her two brothers and did not have a husband to take care of her. Gu Feng Continent should not have early marriage at eight or nine years old. Even if there was, it would not exist among rankers. Besides, even if they were married, wouldn't the Devil abduct the bride? Early marriage was common among many races, and it was definitely not unique to the Gu Feng Continent. The reason for early marriage to escape from the persecution of the Evil Demons was extremely comical. It was as if the Evil Demons were all law-abiding good children.
In fact, the main purpose of the demons' conquest was to eliminate the experts of the other continents.
They eliminated the hidden dangers of strong enemies, controlled the development of the local area, and allowed their own race to give birth to more strong people. They ruled over other races, not to exterminate them, and not to rape women. With the size and aesthetics of the demons, it would be strange if they liked human women!
Women that demons liked had to be tall, have horns on their heads, be covered in scales, and have a spiked tail behind their buttocks. It would be best if their bodies were covered in flames.
Human women had snow-white breasts and plump buttocks, but to demons, those were all fleeting clouds!
Every race had a different sense of beauty …
It was just that there were more races like humans, and there were more of them. The beauty of human women was more in line with the tastes of most people.
Dwarves, Gnomes, Goblins, Boars, Ox-Heads, Werewolves, and other races didn't even look at human women. They weren't just an ordinary kind of ugly, let alone the Metal Race, Tentacled Race, Finned Race, and Earth Drilling Race.
Yue Yang had read a lot of history books, but he rarely saw the Evil Demons invading purely to kill, eat, or rape … There was no meaning in massacring civilians. The Evil Demon Army would indeed massacre a large number of people, but the people they killed were soldiers and experts. As long as their strength exceeded a certain level, they would be massacred. Then, they would forever control the development of the area, not allowing experts to appear in the area, and would kill them once they appeared. They disdained to massacre the weak, just like how humans would not painfully kill all the ants on the ground!
The Evil Demons would kill people, eat people, and even rape women, but these were not the purpose of waging war.
It was just a venting of their beastly instincts on the battlefield.
The majority of the Evil Demons did not have any intelligence, and only followed orders. The ones who truly controlled the Evil Demon Race were the higher-ups. Their ranks were Demon Generals, Demon Commanders, Demon Marshals, and Demon Kings. Those were the true masters. Normal Evil Demons were also slave soldiers with tragic fates. Once they were born, they were destined to become tools of war.
In any war, there would be killing, cannibalism, and beast-rape. These were present in every race, not just the Evil Demons.
Even in the Soaring Dragon Continent, when countries went to war, the victors would also do many evil things.
That was why, the Evil Demons were definitely evil, but the people of the Gu Feng Continent might not marry early just to escape from the Evil Demons' humiliation … What would eight or nine year old children know? Forget about the few who matured early, some of the slower ones might only know how to pee in the mud!
Things like the bride's virginity, only the evilest humans would have them.
"It can't be, the Gu Feng Continent is so backward! In our Soaring Dragon Continent, there are many eight or nine year old children who have already become parents! "Fatty Hai boasted nonstop.
"Eight or nine year old children who have already become parents, and then go to the streets with their children, is that what you mean?" Yue Yang was furious.
"We are only discussing it, don't be angry …" Fatty Hai asked again, "This student, are you married? Is your life enjoyable? "
"Scram!" Yue Yang was furious, and sent Fatty Hai flying with a kick.
"Hey, you still dare to hit me?" The Ox-head girl realized that something was wrong. Why was this brat so hot-tempered? They were talking nicely, but he wanted to hit her.
"Everyone be quiet." Anna gestured for everyone to stop quarreling, and asked the questions herself. She tried to be serious, but her eyes always had the smile of an elder sister seeing a mischievous younger brother, "Shan Qiu, when did you come to the Sixth Floor of Tong Tian Tower? Do you have a team? If not, how about joining our team to train together? Although we are not strong, we are very united. "
"Wait, I don't want this useless fellow to join our team." The Ox-head girl Fan Lun Tie was the first to object.
"We also don't agree." The four orc girls also felt that this decision was too hasty.
"This son of a nouveau riche wants to train with us. When we go to the Spider Valley to do the quest later, I think he will definitely cry in fright." Bao Er always had the habit of looking down on her new teammates. Actually, she was not that brave, but acting like a veteran to teach newbies a lesson was her hobby.
"What do you guys think? Aren't you guys usually the most talkative? "Anna realized that Fatty Hai and the others who were usually the most talkative actually did not speak up.
"Cough, I finally found a fellow who is weaker than me, isn't that good? This way, I will feel very superior. " Fatty Hai laughed out loud. When Anna heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, as if she was even more certain about something. Even Lin En and Li Ao frowned slightly. One must know that this Fatty Hai was the one who hated others joining his team the most. No matter what the quest was, no matter how dangerous or difficult it was, he would never join a newbie. He would rather grit his teeth and fight bitterly.
"I give up." Ye Kong shrugged his shoulders.
"I support sister Bao Er, we must not let him join unless he brings out something good." When Prince of Tian Luo said this, Bao Er immediately clapped her hands and cheered. Actually, Bao Er did not object to this' son of a nouveau riche 'joining their team.
"What about you?" Anna asked the strongest person in the team, Xue Tan Lang. If this cold man did not speak for a day, it would be a piece of cake!
"Let him be!" When Xue Tan Lang opened his mouth, Lin En was dumbfounded, as if he had seen a miracle. As for Anna, she seemed to have guessed that Xue Tan Lang would say this.
"Everyone, let's vote!" Anna expressed that she was very supportive of the people.
"Hey, I don't think you guys have asked for my opinion?" Yue Yang felt wronged. What was this? Were they forcing him to join them?
"The weak have no right to speak." Bao Er was afraid that he would not agree, so she blocked his mouth with a sentence.
"Hahaha!" Fatty Hai laughed so hard that he almost fell down. He never thought that Yue Yang would be defeated. If people knew that the invincible and arrogant Yue Clan's Third Young Master had been defeated by a little girl from the Elf Clan with words, to the point that he couldn't even speak, most of the people in the Soaring Dragon Continent would probably laugh their heads off.
"He can join, but he has to be in charge of cooking. With his strength, he is only suitable to be a cook." The Ox-head Fan Lun Tie saw the situation and reluctantly agreed.
"Yes, yes, he is suitable to be a cook …" Fatty Hai nodded his head furiously. He could not wait to record this moment and bring it back to the Soaring Dragon Continent to play.
"I like sweet food, I want it to be light." Bao Er instructed Yue Yang.
"The four of us like barbecued meat, large amounts of barbecued meat!" The four orc sisters did not hold back.
"Are you guys done?" Yue Yang was almost driven mad.
"Let's go, we are going to the Spider Valley to do a collection mission, we can't delay it any longer!" Bao Er directly ignored his protest.
"Look …"
Yue Yang suddenly pointed to the sky.
Everyone was curious and looked towards the direction he was pointing.
But they did not see anything, yet this brat seemed to be very serious. Could it be that there was really something in the sky? Even Fatty Hai was fooled. He raised his head to look.
"What are you looking at?" Bao Er felt strange. There was clearly nothing in the sky.
"Grey plane, look over there, it's grey!" Yue Yang's finger moved in the sky and pointed towards the west.
"I don't see anything, there's nothing!"
"Is it an invisible beast?"
"Did you guys see it? My eyes almost popped out. What exactly is it? "
Just as Fan Lun Tie and the others were discussing amongst themselves, Bao Er suddenly screamed. Everyone turned their heads to take a look, only to discover that the fellow who had just said that there was a plane in the sky with a straight face had escaped. His speed was extremely fast, bringing along his Bronze-ranked Level 3 Ironback Demonic Wolf, he dashed into the teleportation circle like a wisp of smoke, disappearing without a trace.
Anna and Lin En were sweating profusely.
However, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
Especially Anna. She patted Bao Er's head, who was about to cry, and comforted her with a smile. "He will come back, he definitely won't be able to escape. We will catch him next time!"
Yue Yang returned to the Thunder Fortress and resumed his awesome Innate Ranker identity.
His words were also completely different. Jia De said with a bitter face that the registration of the Titan Chamber of Commerce had failed. This was because the Titan Chamber of Commerce had existed a few hundred years ago, but it was very small and not famous.
Regarding this reply, Yue Yang made a very powerful decision. "Let that Titan Chamber of Commerce deregister, or buy it over. If it doesn't want to be bought over, then let it disappear forever!"
"Yes!" Jia De felt great following this kind of master.
If his master wasn't arrogant and was a modest gentleman, would he still be called master? That would be trash!
Just as Jia De went out, Manager Yan Zheng brought a few slaves in, saying that they were presenting their treasures … They had previously dug up some good ores, but they hid it secretly and did not give it to An Dong. Now, they were presenting it to their new master, hoping to get a thousandth of the reward according to the verbal agreement. Yue Yang felt that the reward was a positive move. If every slave hid a piece, it would not be a good idea. Hence, he agreed to the reward system previously.
He didn't expect the results to be so good. Just as he came back, people came to present their treasures.
Before he transmigrated, Yue Yang had heard of many similar cases. Gold or diamond miners would always think of ways to bring the ores out. They would stuff their nostrils, mouths and navels. There were even people who would cut their calves and stuff the diamonds into their flesh to bring them out.
An Dong was cruel. Yue Yang believed that the slaves in front of him were not the only ones who hid the ores.
He generously gave them the reward, and even gave them a few gold coins.
The few slaves were so happy that they kowtowed continuously. They felt that following Yue Yang was like stepping on a bright path. They had food to eat, wages to pay, and rewards for digging up good ores. Compared to before, this life was like climbing from hell to heaven … When the few slaves went back to brag about it, the effect of this advertisement was really great. This time, not just a few, but hundreds of slaves came forward to present their treasures …
Manager Yan Zheng was dumbfounded. He would never have thought that those starving slaves who were about to die would actually hide the best quality ores, and the supervisor did not even notice!
The most exaggerated thing was that there was an old and crippled slave.
Half a year ago, this old fellow had lost his ability to work and was on the verge of death from a serious illness. He was thrown into a pile of corpses and laid there for a few days. However, he did not die and crawled back to the underground tunnel by eating Carrion Fruits. Because he had lost his ability to work, he could only eat soil to fill his muscles. He was so hungry that he was practically skin and bones. Afterwards, the dagger girl could not stand it anymore and took pity on him. Occasionally, she would give him some food, and that was why he was able to persevere until now … He actually had a top quality thunder diamond that even Yue Yang was shocked by. This thunder diamond was priceless!
"It can't be?" The dagger girl accompanied him to present his treasures. When she saw this huge thunder diamond, she was also stunned.
"What do you want? Money? Status as a resident? Or a woman? "Yue Yang did not immediately accept the thunder diamond, but asked for his conditions instead.
"Master, you are a good master. I have never seen such a benevolent master in my life. I hope to stay and work under you. Although my legs are crippled, my eyes and hands are still fine. I can still work! I know where the ore vein is. It's at the collapsed fifth cave. That place was deliberately collapsed by my father and my uncle. They found a good ore vein inside. My father did not want An Dong to get it, so he collapsed the pit, causing an accident. He and my uncle were buried there forever. Now, I am willing to lead everyone to dig the fifth cave again. We want to return the best ore to master. I dare say that it is the best ore vein in the entire Underground City. As for my request, my master, please allow me to collect all the bones of the laborers, as long as they can be stored in my crypt! I don't want money, I don't want anything else. If master can forgive this lowly person's offense, I hope to redeem Miss Xia Yi's slave identity. Let my savior, Miss Xia Yi, continue to be the supervisor of the mine. She will be the best supervisor in the world. All of us will be grateful to her, just like all of us are grateful to you, master! "
The old slave respectfully prostrated on the ground and said something that made Yue Yang stunned.
The dagger girl named Xia Yi had already burst into tears.
On one side, there was a clean and priceless thunder diamond; on the other side, there was a crippled, dirty, and smelly old slave …
