People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 117 The First Attempt of the Desert Transformation Plan

Candice and Uncle Amp walked out of the room and came to the desert west of Aru Village.

The land, which was originally full of sand dunes and rocks, now has several "fortresses" scattered around that look like giant turtles.

Even though she had seen those so-called "transport vehicles" parked in the distance before, she was still amazed by the power of the young god in front of her.

This kind of divine power that can change the world may only be recorded in the classics praising the Red King.

And after learning that those "goods" were actually the many illegal mercenary groups in the desert, she became even more confused about the motives of the First Sage.

"God", as the name suggests, is a being that is far superior to humans.

In the desert tradition, gods only regard the sufferings of the world as tests for their people, and they themselves hang high in the sky as the sun, symbolizing the end.

——But the gods of the rainforest don’t seem to be like this.

They are like parents watching over their young. Only when they are sure that the chicks under their wings have the ability to withstand the wind and rain, will they let go with relief and hand over the free-flying sky to their children.

This hands-on attitude seemed a little incredible to her, a "favored one" who had never received God's grace.

But no matter what the purpose of the god in front of him was, he helped Aru Village to clear up many potential risks at one time.

As the guardian of the village, Candice had no reason not to express her gratitude.

But just as she was about to speak,

However, he found that Uncle Anpu had already walked up to the young man with great respect. He clenched his right hand in front of his chest, bent down slightly, and spoke in a very formal manner:

"God who has come from afar, welcome to our presence. Your light shines upon us, and we are grateful."

"——As a thank you for this assistance, Aru Village will prepare a grand welcome ceremony for you. I hope you can feel our sincerity and respect here."

But in the face of the old man's respectful invitation, the young man did not put on the high and mighty attitude of a desert god because of his own strength. He just walked quickly forward to help him up and spoke in a gentle voice:
"——No need to be so formal, Village Chief, just treat me as an ordinary traveler."

"The rainforest and the desert are not completely isolated, and there is still the possibility of mutual understanding. The efforts made by Aru Village for this are worthy of my formal thanks to you."

"If you are willing to help temporarily detain these bandits we cleared out this time, I will also provide you with corresponding rewards after the guards come to take over. What do you think?"

Lin Feng stated his purpose. Although these mercenaries would not wake up in a short period of time, it was necessary to count their numbers and temporarily detain them in one place so that the subsequent disciplinary officers could take over.

"Sage, you are too kind. We are only detaining these bastards. Why would we ask for any reward?"

Uncle Anpu seemed a little flattered, but after hearing the boy's request, he just shook his head slightly, indicating that it was just a small favor and did not require any extra gift in return.

Thinking of the fearful days in previous years, he began to explain:

"--Even though they were born in the desert, they are the most ruthless to their own people. Aru Village has been harassed by them over the years. If it weren't for Candice's protection, who knows how badly these robbers who call themselves 'desert people' would have oppressed us."

After hearing his words, Lin Feng realized that these mercenaries who called themselves "believers of the Red King" were actually more ruthless to their fellow desert people. Their demise would also be a good thing for ordinary residents of Aru Village who yearned for a peaceful life.

Because guarding these people does consume a lot of manpower and material resources, Lin Feng, who did not intend to let the other party pay in vain, once again discussed the relevant compensation with Candice and Uncle Anpu. However, the other party's attitude seemed very firm, and they all said that clearing out these bandits was the best compensation, and they were unwilling to accept material rewards.

Seeing that their refusal did not seem fake, he did not mention compensation again.

After arranging the detention of these mercenary groups and the parking location of the Red King's ruins, Lin Feng's main purpose of coming here had been achieved.

At the end of the conversation, he observed the environment around Aru Village and found that although there was a water source here, most of the land around the village was still barren. Apart from some huge cacti and baobab-like thorny palm trees, there were no other plants.

Lin Feng recalled his previous desert transformation plan and planned to do an experiment. He also thought clearly about what kind of reward he should give to this peaceful village.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Village Chief. Since you are not going to accept the compensation from the Ministry of Education, how about accepting a small gift from me personally?"

"I wonder what kind of gift the wise man is going to give?"

"If it's something too precious, we, who have only helped a little, will feel unworthy of it!"

After hearing what Lin Feng said, Uncle Anpu hesitated subconsciously. It was a gift from a god, and he was not sure whether Aru Village was qualified to accept it.

"It's not something precious. This is just an attempt for my future actions. Please don't refuse it."

"As for what exactly this gift is."

"——I personally call it the "Oasis Seed""

Under the two people's puzzled gazes, Lin Feng slowly gave the final answer.

As the last word fell from the boy's mouth, an incredible yet expectant look appeared in the eyes of the two.

Lower wind erosion area, north side of Aru Village.

"This is it. This is the land we once tried to cultivate but had to give up because crops could not grow on it."

"Are you sure you want to help us transform a new piece of farmland? Is this gift too expensive?"

"I don't think the help we provide is worthy of such compensation."

Although Candice, as the guardian, has been longing for what is about to happen, she has never experienced the kindness of the rainforest area, and she feels a little uneasy about accepting this precious gift.

"Don't be so unfamiliar. Whether it's the desert or the rainforest, in my opinion, they are all part of Xumi. Even if you don't provide any help, improving the living environment of my people is what I want to do."

Sensing the desert people's uneasiness about accepting gifts from other gods, Lin Feng shook his head and explained his motives while comforting them.

"——Okay, there's no need to feel any extra pressure. Just treat this as an ordinary experiment. Stand a little further away. I'm about to begin."

Letting Candice and Uncle Amp step back a little, Lin Feng mobilized his own power of plants and trees. As countless green spots of light rose from the soil, the first formal experiment in desert transformation officially began.
