I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 620 - 107: Reversal—Is the Dragon Race Truly the Enlightened Ruler?
Ning Zheng didn't choose to depart during the daytime.
Instead, under the cover of night, after the iron artisans had logged off, they set off on the Ark.
To avoid their constant chatter and strange angles critiquing the planning.
Recently, Ning Zheng had had enough.
Blabber, blabber, blabber, it was practically like a death curse.
Completely turned into a practice dummy for their acting skills.
To act in "Detective Yan Shuangying," playing the pseudo-human role, they even prepared to shoot "Ancestral Human Biography," these people were truly insane.
Suddenly, a change in the scene tomorrow, logging on to a new map, seems pretty good too.
Whoosh!
The soil was slowly parted.
Like an Earth Movement Technique, it traversed through the soil, clods of dirt rolling, the Ark slowly emerged in a valley not far from the Bone Demon Sect, rising slowly and sailing into the distance.
The iron artisans logged off, but the Embers artisans were cheering.
"Whoa! Is this a story CG?"
"The manor moved!"
"My Ember pet appeared only during the day, looks like he missed this scene!"
"Don't worry, the recording is there, we can use it, sell it to them tomorrow, ten Magic Coins per copy."
"You really are a clever brat."
"Couldn't be helped, our babies are all dumb and rich."
...
"Why did it move again?"
In the prison, a group of No-Life Female Ghosts also showed surprise.
However, they seemed to have adapted, life was pretty good these days.
...
At the foot of the mountain, in the courtyard.
Ning Jiaojiao and others pulled Ning Zheng out, looking at the commotion outside.
"It's moving, quick, go fishing!"
They were excitedly gleeful.
Ning Zheng skillfully picked up the fishing rod.
...
The whole process was quite smooth.
Because Ning Zheng could observe the good and bad of Qi Fortune Value, knowing nothing would happen upon leaving tonight.
Moreover, the average Two-Phase Realm, unless up close, couldn't see the camouflage of the Ark.
And the two cultivators from Bone Demon Sect in the Two-Phase Realm, were Ning Zheng's own people.
Where to go?
He thought for a moment and chose a path.
"Not convenient to sail in the sky, might as well take a trip to the Ten Thousand Feet Sea Abyss."
"It seems safer there, empty in all directions."
The Nine-State Four Seas are already vast and sparsely populated, 99% is wilderness.
But the Ten Thousand Feet Sea Abyss, even more so, is wilderness among wilderness, a super large rift, even said to directly reach the Earth's core, massive water pressure that typical cultivators can't handle.
Even if infected with pseudo-human, Ning Zheng felt impossible to endure such deep water pressure.
Because pseudo-humans of Three Flowers are too fragile...
Even an ordinary prepared civilian could kill with an iron shovel, arriving at such pressure would be crushed directly.
Ning Zheng sat by the well fishing, with Ning Jiaojiao and Su Yuniang alongside, drifting outside, watching the coral forests, seagrass basins, and shell rifts below, it was quite a different taste.
While fishing, he pondered:
"Three hundred million Qi Fortune Value in hand, soon reaching One Heart Realm."
"But maybe I'll need to save some money, to avoid using it all in case of danger, always feels like something big is happening lately..."
Ning Zheng felt after the pseudo-human's big moves earlier, suddenly no further actions.
Ghost knows what they're brewing?
Also, the Dragon Race, Giant Shell Holy Land, these forces were all thinking of rebellion.
Surviving in the cracks, one must be cautious.
Moreover, the matters of Bai Xingling, Money Child...
The neutral tomb forces behind the nursery were also restless.
Reportedly, the Phoenix Race had already begun elevating to Immortal Spirit Root, advancing to Immortal Phoenix... said to be the Nine-State's first Immortal Beast force, caused quite a stir these days.
Reality isn't a game.
Not like players passing one mainline, another opens.
The entire grand world had various things occurring.
The Nine-State Four Seas, too vast, too vast.
Like Ning Zheng who had hardly ventured into other Eight Continents from Xinyi Continent generally, each person had their own story, everyone was their own protagonist.
"Most of their stories have nothing to do with me."
Ning Zheng contemplated, "Avoid some, dodge the struggles, then focus on my Qi Fortune Collector, that's the way."
...
...
The next morning.
The iron artisans logged in, witnessing the manor setting sail in the distance.
They weren't foolish, reacting instantly.
—The manor has begun its escape.
Plus their inherently rebellious Ember babies, scampering over to sell them the tapes, looking like sly merchants.
This made them laugh and cry.
Their own babies were truly excessive, draining their money.
"Where to this time?"
"Who cares."
"I'm going to the Forging Furnace for synthesis."
"I'm off to forge."
For the players, this was nothing significant.
Apart from the work-bound professional iron artisans, most veteran iron artisans after watching for a while, switched accounts and went to play at the Bone Demon Sect side.
After all, there were lots of NPCs there, fun, and they could make films.
Three hundred new iron artisans were diligently moving bricks, preparing to earn money and change maps in the future.
...
Bone Demon Sect.
Not long after Ning Zheng left.
The next morning, Jiucai Rong and these bone demons also began to continue operating the entire city.
Yan Shuangying also switched back to this bone demon alt account, preparing to continue "filming" and ready a new wave of case-solving stories, the second season of the "Death Note" series.
A new team area within the manor also started to be established.
Reputation Value Area Leader: Outrage of Man and God.
This fellow, since making a buck from synthesis, gathered a group of like-minded rookie blacksmiths to form a new group; he knows how to get things done.
The mission in the reputation area is: to earn [Qi Fortune Coins], then sell them uniformly to the blacksmiths.
It is currently taking shape.
These blacksmiths also launched new business ventures, making door-to-door visits, playing the role of the neighborhood committee, establishing relationships, and promoting their great ideals to bring better life.
However, at this moment.
The sky suddenly darkened.
Several powerful beings appeared above the Bone Demon Sect and swiftly descended into the City Lord's Mansion.
"Summon your Sect Master out."
The leading powerhouse directly spoke.
This person turned out to be a master at the One Heart Realm level.
"Reporting to the lord, our Sect Master is out for business." Jiucai Rong hurriedly stepped forward.
The powerhouse lightly chuckled, "I understand, having mistrust is normal, precaution is essential. If I showed my true self directly... it would belittle him. I wonder if anyone on the surface can represent us."
"The lord is right."
"The lord is wise."
"Worthy of the Giant Shell Holy Land, I have long admired it."
The blacksmiths showed excitement, clearly surrounding the other party and starting to flatter them discreetly.
The elder, seeing the other party's understanding, looked at Jiucai Rong and could not help but smile, "Since you stayed here, surely you can manage everything; let's discuss nation-building!"
The elder strode grandly, directly sitting on the City Lord's principal seat, looking at everyone:
"For the nation-building coronation, he must appear in person; of course, the Dharma Aspect can appear, which is even better for it to hide himself thoroughly!"
"He is to be the first Bone Demon Emperor of the Sea Race, rebelling against the Dragon Race..." The elder chuckled lightly, looking gentle but with a hint of cynicism.
Jiucai Rong promptly said, "We will become the Bone King! Establish the Coral Ball Tomb and then declare war on the Dragon Race! But do we really need to ascend to the throne?"
"Yes." The elder said blandly, "And it is in seven days, immediately ascending!"
"Thank you, lord." Jiucai Rong quickly nodded, his thoughts racing.
To ascend the throne!
This is pushing us into a fire pit, treating us as targets, ignoring our lives.
Moreover.
How can our old steward, acting as a Bone Demon General, ascend the throne?
Absurd.
Our old steward has long been like a dead, lazy man, even appearing at the manor every few days, not handling affairs. Is making him an emperor too exploiting of the elderly?
Yet upon careful thought.
Who are the figures of our manor?
The Manor Master is destined to be a human emperor, mastering the Nine-State Cauldron, Sun Moon, and it's suitable for the old steward to be a Sea Race emperor!
Then, the two sides communicated for a bit.
After chatting, Jiucai Rong felt that Giant Shell Holy Land, on the surface, seemed to behave with integrity, adhere to principles, and did not look down upon these weak ones!
Instead.
They deeply admired them.
Clearly, they are a well-mannered ancient major sect, having studied human culture, strategies, and various domains deeply many times after being defeated by humanity.
Moreover, they are eager for talents.
They're not arrogant, and they have a high regard for these talented bone demons because they have analyzed many times; such governance methods for cities are truly astonishing!
But in their eyes...
The Bone Demon Race is merely scholars, the civil servants under their command, the country-governing talents.
On the human side, there are legends of emperors inviting talented individuals from hiding to eventually achieve domination by showing humble respect to them.
They, the Giant Shell Race, who are versed in strategies, naturally want to emulate this.
Jiucai Rong was somewhat moved and sincerely said:
"Lords, truly heroes who save the world, such virtuous talents... previously that Elder Gui oppressed us, and the Dragon Race mistreated the common people, truly deserving to be overthrown!"
Elder Giant Shell, upon hearing this, shook his head, "No, young man, the Dragon Race is the most qualified emperor in this world. The emperors of the human race and other races can't compare to the Dragon emperors."
"How is it so?" Jiucai Rong said, "The Dragon Emperor neglects world affairs and allows Elder Gui to monopolize power. Surely he is not a wise ruler."
Elder Giant Shell chuckled, "No, you misunderstand the true law of this world."
"What is the true law?" Jiucai Rong was stunned.
He slowly stood up, his expression cold, his aura filled with a powerful presence:
"In this world, only creatures lacking strength seek to compensate for the gap through wisdom."
"The Dragon Race is not foolish enough to let the people's grievances grow; they are strong enough to ignore calculations, breaking any scheme with a single punch."
"Heh, what is a wise ruler?"
Elder Giant Shell sneered, slowly saying:
"In my view, so-called wise rulers are simply means to maintain their rule... The essence of any ruler in this world is to exploit resources, gather thousands of resources into one, ascend to the pinnacle! Achieve longevity and immortality, open up future frontiers!"
"Wise rulers use people's hearts to prevent rebellion because they are weak and must stabilize the masses to collect resources."
"Tyrants use force to prevent rebellion because they are strong and can ignore the people to collect resources."
"Tyrants do as they please, disregarding the chaotic world... Tyrants are what we aspire to." Elder Giant Shell coldly said, "The Dragon Race cruel? No! They merely maintain an era of survival of the fittest!"
"The Sea Race is not the Human Race; evolution! Evolution! Evolution! This is the main theme of the Sea Race!"
"The spiritual roots of humanity can be cultivated, whereas the spiritual roots of the Beast Race grow in death, mutate under oppression and slaughter... advance to upper-grade families, celestial-grade families, and ultimately become a major holy land."
Elder Giant Shell sighed:
"Therefore, our Sea Race does not need civilization; we need slaughter!"
"And we want to be wise rulers, collect people's hearts, only because we are too weak... needing leverage to overthrow him."
His gaze flickered with complexity, and his mind was filled with the historic massacres and wars of the Sea Race.
Human spiritual roots can be cultivated, while beast races can undergo breakthroughs in the Beast Fighting Arena. Among tens of thousands of the same race, one victorious fighter emerges, possessing the potential for advanced spiritual roots.
"We all understand, the Dragon Race is the most qualified monarch, tyrants are the perfect rulers of the Beast Race Dynasty, we rebel against him, not for the world... we do it for personal gain!"
Jiucai Rong, Yan Shuangying, and others were all dumbfounded.
This Giant Shell elder is a true sage, revealing some of the bloody truths of this extraordinary world.
Elder Giant Shell smiled and looked at Yan Shuangying:
"Act as you will, but don't get caught in it... Our force cannot completely suppress the world, and our intent is to prevent rebellion, not to truly relieve suffering."
"Your benevolent people never come to a good end."
His gaze was complicated, as if remembering a human he encountered in his youth:
"Even if your cultivation shakes the world and wisdom is unmatched in history, what use is it?"
