People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 168: Summary of the harvest and the promise to take Nashida to Liyue

On the southwest side of Aru Village, on a new sand-proof wall that looks like a giant tree.

Facing the sincere praise from the two immortals,
Lin Feng, who had finally completed this large-scale geological transformation, looked up at the sky with a look of relief on his face.

Under the much softer sunlight,
He could clearly feel the damp air blowing from the rain forest.
Looking at the villagers in Aru Village in the distance, whose faces seemed to show joy,
He was quite satisfied with the results of his hard work during this period.

Although he, Nashida, and the two immortals were very busy during the transformation process,

It is to adjust the terrain and maintain the ecology.
In the end, he even let Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun play a guest role in the desert area as the Dragon King who can call the wind and rain in ancient legends.

But no matter what, the final result can be said to be quite gratifying even when compared among the seven countries.

Let’s look at the rainforest area first.

In this dense jungle where the residents of Xumi mainly live,

Not only the land passages of the two major ports in the north and south of Xumi, Port of Bayda and Port of Omos, were directly opened up in this road planning, but from then on, the cargo transportation from Fontaine and Liyue will be unimpeded throughout the entire Xumi.

Moreover, under Lin Feng's deliberate adjustments, the main water veins in the entire Xumi that were once responsible for water transportation have been transformed from the original rugged mountain rivers with varying depths into eco-friendly canals with strong navigation capabilities, excellent flood control capabilities, and reasonable waterway design.

With the large-scale migration of mountains, the original situation of huge ups and downs, primitive rain forests everywhere, and large caravans having difficulty moving around has been completely changed.
As long as merchants from Liyue and Fontaine land at the port normally, they can easily reach various areas of Xumi, including the desert, by water or land. The trade routes along the way are not only well-connected, but also flat and open.
And there is a hidden advantage that other countries absolutely do not have - that is, they can completely ignore the threats from wild monsters.

Although Xumi will not actively announce the functions of the yellow flowers along the road,

And under normal circumstances, even if the flowers on it are plucked out by passers-by, the Rock Elemental Flower that has received orders in advance will not come out from the ground.
Only after the passers-by leave, it will silently grow a new flower on its head through the stimulation of the grass element.

But no matter how friendly they are to pedestrians, their fighting ability is real.
Not to mention that the leader, the mother plant of the rock crystal flower, has extremely strong growth potential.
As a demon god creation directly born from the combination of two powers, even if they are not designed as combat plants, after a period of growth, they can still easily reach a level of more than 70.
In the absence of demon-level followers, we have the confidence to face any conventional enemy.

Even if it is only the offspring that are bred from them,
As a degraded version of the demon's creation, its combat capability is far stronger than that of the general Prankster. While guarding the road, it can also easily clean up some attacking monsters such as the Hilichurls and Slimes.

Therefore, in the absence of any high-risk targets in Xumi, these "road-paving armies" that are like organized legions can fully ensure the safety of the trade routes.
Unless there is a massive invasion of abyss monsters, merchants can completely ignore the danger from monsters and just need to be careful about those insignificant treasure-stealing groups.

——As for the threat posed by the monsters from the abyss, there is no need to worry about it.

Since Lin Feng took office,

Apart from being able to occasionally catch a few Abyss Mages as a small dessert at the beginning,
In the back, there was not even a trace of the abyss monster in the entire territory of Xumi.

After today's major geological transformation,
Lin Feng estimated that even in the surrounding areas of neighboring countries, there would probably not be any expatriates from the Abyss Cult.

——Even Apep ran away in this wave. The abyss monsters, which were equivalent to snacks to him, would never choose to show up near Xumi.

The little yellow-haired Abyss, who was very cautious in the original work,

After this time, I guess unless I catch the other one of the twins, I will never meet them again.

After all, with the strength shown by the Abyss Cult in the game, if they were to provoke me and find their hiding place such as the base camp,

Then, based on the ability to resist and devour the power of the abyss that he had demonstrated the last time the abyss attacked him,

If I feel like it, I can just bring the readily available Xiaobai for a solo call, which shouldn't be a problem.

Under such a huge power gap, even the Abyss, who always likes to make trouble, has become unusually honest.

Therefore, except for the depths of the desert, Xumi is most likely the most difficult place among the seven countries to discover the existence of abyss forces.

Let’s go back to the original issue of trade routes.

With roads extending in all directions, monsters disappearing, and new products emerging in the Institute of the Church of God.

In the next period of time, Xumi's business, which was originally restricted by the terrain, will usher in a period of explosive development.

If the corresponding adjustment measures of the Fatwa Council are issued in a timely manner and various bills targeting business are further improved,
Then one day in the future, in addition to Liyue, which has the ability to mint coins, it is definitely not a fantasy that a second commercial country will be born on the continent of Teyvat.

Even if it’s just for this moment,
Because of the tangible improvements in people's livelihood, in just a few hours, the power of faith gathered on Lin Feng has become much stronger.

It can be said that it further reduces the difficulty of fighting against the world's rules when subsequently acquiring power.

If the harvest from the rainforest is mainly focused on people's livelihood,
However, the harvest in the desert area is very different from that in the rainforest area.

Whether it is the valuable experience gained in environmental transformation,
Or the power of faith that originally pointed to the Scarlet King was constantly gathering.
These were actually just unexpected surprises that Lin Feng and Nashida got in their attempt to resolve the conflicts between the residents of the two places.

If we say that Nashida's greatest gain from this landform transformation is the deep faith of all the people of Xumi,

For Lin Feng, there is no doubt that it is the divine power of the Red King that was replaced from the desert land.

The faith that Nashida gained can further help her grow and get out of her current childhood state of being "not good at fighting" as soon as possible.

The power of the Red King that Lin Feng obtained also had the same effect.
Although the share of these forces is small, their characteristics are very useful.

Maybe it's because of the different ways of birth.

The power of the Red King is obviously different from that of other demon gods.
Even if only a little bit of the Red King's power was replaced from the sand, it opened up a completely new growth path for Lin Feng, which was different from the power of the seven elements.

Looking at the many demons native to Teyvat, most of their powers are simply the evolution of the seven elements.

Wisdom and dreams belong to the grass element, whirlpools and seas belong to the water element, tornadoes and north winds belong to the wind element.
All the power of this continent comes from the Law of Seven. In the period when the ancient Dragon King still ruled the earth, Teyvat's power system was already limited to the elements.

All forces other than the existing elements come from visitors from outside this world.

Whether it is the four shadows of "life", "death", "time" and "space" differentiated from the principles of heaven,
Or is it the "filth", "disaster" and "erosion" of the abyss?
These forces are fundamentally different from the many elemental authorities native to Teyvat and are undoubtedly outsiders.

But the power of the Red King is somewhere in between these two.

As a remnant of the sky, apart from his great power, Achmar's existence is no different from that of an ordinary demon.

But in Lin Feng's opinion, the authority that is the foundation of the Scarlet Demon King does not completely belong to any one of the seven elements.

This kind of power is like the result of two laws compromising with each other after confrontation. It is different from the completely incomprehensible power outside the world, but it is also obviously different from the local demons.

If it can be fully analyzed, then perhaps this authority can become a stepping stone to open another system.

——From the ordinary elemental forces, we can get a glimpse of the so-called "Law of Heaven" constructed by the principles of heaven.

Although from the records in the game,
If the local creatures can exert the power of elements to its peak, then in terms of pure power, they may be able to compete with the laws brought by the laws of nature, which have been fully utilized at first glance, relying on pure numbers.

But Lin Feng knew that the thunder and lightning on Inazuma's side had indeed achieved the miracle of traveling through time and changing history through some higher-level power.

Although there are probably some limitations, this kind of authority that can be fully utilized at a glance is undoubtedly very attractive to Lin Feng. After all, traveling through time and space sounds much cooler than creating stones.

But before this, Lin Feng had no idea about these powers of government and justice. He could not think of how to obtain samples for analysis, nor did he understand how these forces worked.

But now, a perfect sample located at the middle point appeared in front of him. As long as he continued to study it persistently, he would most likely be able to slowly understand those powers that seemed mysterious before.

How could this not make him happy?
In short, this Xumi infrastructure plan, whether from the perspective of Xumi's national strength and people's livelihood,
Or let's look at the growth of the power of the two gods, Nashida and Lin Feng.

The various gains, big and small, are too numerous to count.

But then again, if it weren't for the two immortals coming to help from Liyue, and the rock elemental authority unlocked by the Emperor and the Heart of God lent out of friendship,

Even though Lin Feng himself has a huge advantage in environmental transformation due to his various characteristics as an "outsider",
However, it is still almost impossible to complete this kind of topographical reshaping of the entire country in a short period of time.

Back to the present.

After the relocation of the sand-proof wall was completed,

Because the two immortals had consumed too much energy, with the help of Lin Feng, they were teleported back to their temporary residence in Xumi City through the earth veins.

Nashida and Lin Feng were the only ones left on the wide sand-proof platform. They stood at the edge of the platform and looked out at the desert residents in the distance who were feeling a little lost for a moment because of the changes in the border between the desert and rainforest.

After the foreign visitors left,

The petite Nashida tilted her head slightly, recalling the last time the desert turned into a rainforest as recorded in the void.

After discovering the extremely long time ago in the records, he said to Lin Feng beside him with some disappointment:

".Thank you for your hard work this time. I also have the authority of the grass element, but in this transformation, apart from promoting the growth of some plants, I was unable to help at all."

"Mobilizing such a large range of elements, even you would feel exhausted, right?"

Xiao Caoshen recalled the transformation process.

Lin Feng beside him was responsible for regulating rivers and moving mountains while suppressing the earth veins.
Even the final transformation of the desert into a rainforest is inseparable from his unique power to "purify" the land.

Even though she knew that Lin Feng's growth rate was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, she was still a little worried whether the boy beside her was forcing himself.
——After all, the power of God is not infinite, and excessive use in a short period of time will still cause harm to the body.

She and the Great Compassionate Tree King have rich experience in this area, so they pay more attention to this issue than ordinary gods.

Because of the shared power, Lin Feng could feel the genuine concern coming from Nashida beside him.

His heart warmed, and he habitually touched the little head of the grass god, immersed in the soft touch of the white hair, and said:
"Thank you for your concern. I'm actually fine."

"Because of the existence of these two God's Hearts, although I am a little tired mentally, overall, I can recover after a little rest. Don't worry."

Thinking of Nashida's inherent self-blame, he helped the little girl tidy up her wind-messed hair and continued:
"Although I am responsible for most of the renovation work during the implementation, you must not underestimate your role. In fact, you are also one of the key factors for the success of this road construction."

"——You know, a qualified land transformation cannot be accomplished by just having strength."

“Whether it was the ecological advice you gave me, the modifications you made to the road planning, or the many tedious tasks you took over during the final transformation.”

"Although these things may seem insignificant and are often overlooked after success, if I use your favorite metaphor, then everything you do is like the roots of a plant underground to me who is responsible for the specific work. Although they are not as eye-catching as blooming flowers, they are also the foundation for the final results to exist."

After Nashida's hair became smooth again, Lin Feng gently patted the little fellow's head and, through his factual remarks, skillfully stopped the random thoughts that might arise in this little head.

The logistical support capabilities of the Little Grass God are actually very outstanding, and he is worthy of the title of the God of Wisdom.

But if there is a shortcoming, it is that because of the past experience of not being trusted, I am not very proactive.

Since taking office, Nashida has completed all the tasks assigned by Lin Feng very well.

The little grass god, who can be said to coexist with the void system, has been persevering in reading various materials over the past few hundred years.

In fact, his personal ability has already far surpassed that of ordinary scholars. In terms of work efficiency alone, even a coconut sheep in Liyue may not be able to compare with this little guy who is only as tall as Lin Feng's chest.

But that's also her problem.
What constrained Nashida was never her personal ability, but her decisiveness in making important decisions.

No matter how well she performed when facing the work assigned by Lin Feng.

But if there is no backbone responsible for making decisions,
Then this little guy who lacks confidence will easily fall into a state of confusion.
——The more you do, the more mistakes you make; if you do nothing, you will make no mistakes.
If Lin Feng did not appear, then for Nashida, who is still immature at this stage, this would probably be the most likely way of behavior she would choose.

Although Lin Feng is training Nashida's confidence and initiative,
But if he is around, the little grass god still seems to temporarily abandon her wisdom.

Not only will they hardly question any of Lin Feng's decisions, but they will also easily become like the group of immortals in Liyue, inexplicably falling into the trap of thinking that "the Emperor must have some deep meaning behind this."

Thinking of this, he noticed that Nashida's mood had recovered a lot because of his recognition, so he continued:
"Nashida, when I go to Liyue with the two immortals to return the Heart of God and help deal with the commission from the God of Rock, would you like to try to issue some decrees like I did?"

"Anything is fine, as long as you think it's reasonable, even if it's the hygiene inspection standards for desserts. How about trying to take the initiative to make some changes?"

"No matter what the result is, as long as you have taken the initiative to try, then next time I come back, I will find a way to handle Xumi's government affairs in advance, and take you to Liyue to have fun for a while and see the customs and practices of other regions on this land."

Lin Feng thought of a certain commission that the Emperor had not yet made clear, and felt that it would be a good idea to let Nashida make some attempts in the country while he was going to Liyue to return the Heart of God and help out.

Although he actually thinks that there is nothing wrong with Nashida's gentle, caring and considerate personality,
Therefore, I will not, like some of the comments in my previous life, go against the wishes of others and set up some weird character standards.

But if it's just to let Nashida try it for fun, there's nothing wrong with that.

——According to Nashida’s governing style, the most she can do is to carefully adjust some marginal policies that do not cause any pain or itchiness without affecting people’s lives. What problems could possibly arise?
If anything goes wrong, I and the staff of the Ministry of Education will be there to cover it.

It would be good if this could help the little Grass God gain some experience in observing humans. After all, they both still have many years of ruling to go, so it wouldn't be a big loss if they accumulated experience earlier.

".real?"

"I remember you said you hated working overtime. You might have to deal with a lot of work in advance before you take me out. Is that okay?"

Nashida's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she was also a little hesitant despite being surprised.

"Of course it's okay. There's nothing wrong with working overtime occasionally just for the two of us to go out together."

"——I know that you have wanted to go to another country for a long time."

Lin Feng smiled, habitually rubbed the two pointed ears among the grass god's white hair, and made a promise to this cute white-haired loli.

——When Nashida arrives in Liyue, have Master Hu call the Emperor over to play hopscotch with the Little Grass God, and then secretly call Xiao and the other immortals over to watch.
A certain person who had been planning for a long time, after thinking of the latest high-definition video recording device in his storage space, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he couldn't help but look forward to that day in the future.
