God Simulator

Charles returned to the Resurrection Kingdom, rejoicing in his heart.

Fortunately, I had conducted a very detailed inspection in the kingdom before, and had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the four main occupations of farmers, herdsmen, soldiers, and craftsmen.

On this basis, in order to better obtain intelligence, Charles established long-term good friendships with the Yao people and the Baigu ancestors who supported the local area.

These relationships are of great use right now.

Charles remained silent at first and learned about the various export commodities produced by the Resurrection Kingdom.

The Kingdom's exports mainly include sweet potatoes, meat, leather and some medicinal herbs, with agricultural products being the main export.

The prices of local beef, sheep, and chicken are relatively low, and the price of sweet potatoes is even cheaper—dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato powder are 20% cheaper. Leather and herbs are relatively the most expensive, but the unit price is not high.

In addition, there are some special products that are not sold to the public, such as bone horses and skeleton dogs.

Charles further confirmed the value of these local products to avoid possible price hikes by the Yao people when negotiating trade later.

After he found out the details, he approached Zhi Chong to discuss cooperation.

"Huh? Apart from feces, Inushiro, what else do you want these things? I thought you needed corpses..."

The wise insect was a little surprised, but it didn't ask any more questions. Instead, it said readily: "It's all a transaction anyway, no problem. As long as you still pay with the fire of faith, we have no problem."

As the person in charge of the specific business, Zhi Chong’s words are effective.

So the two sides agreed on a new list.

Light items include meat, leather, sweet potatoes, herbs, ores and other commodities.

Charles listed it in detail. Everything about the Resurrection Kingdom was written down. At least two copies of each category were required. For this, he paid 1 million for the Fire of Faith.

"I didn't expect Kebuli to be interested in these things. I'll come here more often in the future." The wise insect completed another transaction and smiled happily.

With the foundation in the past, this transaction was extremely fast.

Charles brought several carts of goods into Dog City one after another.

Then, the undead warriors sent these things one by one to the area where Menis was.

Charles watched from the side the whole time.

The appearance of the undead warrior made Menes, who was lying down and sleeping, slowly get up. He raised his head with a red and white crown and stared at the visitor with his bandaged eyes.

He did not launch an attack, but seemed to realize something and stared at what the undead warriors presented.

Then, Menes raised his huge palm and crushed the contents of the cart on the ground into powder.

Charles felt nervous.

Still not working?

Menes slowly opened his fingers and moved the cross slightly: "Tribute... more tribute... tribute of surrender..."

"The winner...the only winner..."

Gradually, Charles understood the former titular god who had turned into an instinctive monster.

For Menes, tribute represented surrender, and the continuous flow of tribute meant recognition and awe of his status.

As for what the tribute is, it doesn't seem to matter.

The direct effect of tribute is that Menes will regard the groups who submit tribute as subjects, and he will also provide them with protection.

Trading some tribute for peace and the protection of the mighty Menes is worth it on a strategic level.

The price of peace is the prestige, power and wealth of the Tomb King Khebri.

Charles sighed in his heart.

Your Majesty really sacrificed too much for the overall situation.

In fact, Khebli could not have chosen to compromise.

He can lead the black jackals and undead warriors to move away without confronting Menes. He can even wait for Menes to defeat the other demigods and monsters, and then reap the benefits and collect the remaining forces and corpses.

Dog City is actually very big, and can accommodate two kings.

But Kebli chose not to retreat, but instead represented another attitude: he would face Menis, the strongest monster that had ever resurrected in Dog City head-on!

Kebli once made a declaration to all undead warriors: "I will not retreat, I will stay here and work with my warriors to find a way to deal with Menes."

"There is no monster that cannot be tamed, and there is no challenge that we dare not face!"

"This is our city, this is our battlefield!"

…

After a period of paying tribute, Charles discovered that his previous idea was wrong.

Menes indeed did not care what the tribute was.

It is true that he has not awakened his intelligence from the ignorant animal state, but he still cannot be fooled.

The same tribute, beef last time and beef again this time, not only failed to please Menes, but also aroused his anger, causing him to kill the tribute recipients.

The tribute may not need to be something particularly valuable, but it cannot be something he has come into contact with or seen before.

Generally speaking, Menes only accepted tributes that were novel and had never been seen before.

Over the course of a few years, whenever Vanmenes showed signs of impatience and irritability and tried to invade further into the areas controlled by the undead warriors, Charles would send tributes in time to appease the giant who maintained his kingly instincts.

During this period, Menes killed a dozen powerful demigods occupying one side, further expanding the range of his radiation in several other directions.

In the north, west and center of Dog City, only the two major forces of Menes and Kebuli are left.

As time went by, the choices of tribute available to Menes became smaller and smaller.

Charles had to go to the Yao tribe for help again - the entire Resurrection Kingdom, including skeleton dogs and bone horses, that could be presented as tribute, had been exhausted.

"Charles, go trade with them on my behalf and tell them that we need assistance with some goods."

Kebli gave a clear order this time: "Don't try to hide this fact, just tell the god Yao openly that we need to use these things to paralyze a monster."

"If they are willing to continue trading, then we will remember this friendship. If they are maliciously driving up prices, then there is no need to be humble, then come back."

Charles hesitated: "But if we lose the stable supply over there..."

"Don't worry, I'm not helpless."

There was a kind of stabilizing certainty in Cable's voice: "Charles. Do you know why I have to use tribute to paralyze and stabilize Menis?"

Charles shook his head.

"Because deep under our feet lies the remains of the [Lord of Power]."

Charles' eyes suddenly widened.

"It turns out that Menes came to kill his enemy...but why should we stop him?"

Kebli said softly: "In order to kill a wolf and release a tiger, what kind of monster do we need to call out to deal with the tiger? This will turn into endless chaos."

"My ability has already touched Menis. All that's left is time...give me enough time and I will be able to complete the symbiosis with Menis. This monster will become the most loyal and powerful creature in Dog City. warrior."

"Understood? Charles, I just need time."

"Go to the Yao tribe and try to get something from them that can buy time. Act accordingly, I allow you to represent Dog City."

…

Arriving again in the Resurrection Kingdom, Charles entered the temple of Yao for the first time.

There was a divine power lingering here that left him in awe.

The gray statue of Yao stands in the center of the hall. His face has no facial features, which means that the god cannot be looked directly at.

Guarding the statue of Yao are a group of strange gods: the White God with fangs and animal heads, the King of Wuji who is shaped like a mountain, and the Moment God who looks like a conical tower.

There is a bonfire at the foot of the statue of Yao, and the flames slowly pull the shadow of the statue into a dark side that covers the entire temple.

"Ms. Maocao, Lord Kebli hopes to trade with the Yao people...in order to use these novel items to lock up a powerful monster."

Charles spoke briefly about the appeal.

"This is no small matter. I need to pray to the gods and listen to the oracle's will."

Maocao knelt at the foot of Yao's statue and waited quietly.

After about a meal, she emitted a white halo and entered a strange state.

She whispered: "Mr. Cabley of Dog City asked us for help..."

After a while, that vast and omnipresent will slowly disappeared.

Charles felt weak all over his body.

Maocao stood up slowly, and the firelight illuminated her catwoman face. "The gods have agreed. Please rest assured that the Yao people have always pursued a win-win situation and safeguarded each other's common interests with friends who sincerely cooperate."

"The products of the Yao people will be shipped in batches from the Yao people's world in the future, and the transaction price will be converted according to the local price of the Yao people... I will make a detailed list and price list. After you read it, if you have any questions, we will It’s all negotiable.”

The new deal went beyond imagination.

Until Charles brought several carts full of Yao products back to Dog City, he felt a little like he was in a dream.

Maocao promised straightforwardly, and the things sent by the Yao tribe were also full of sincerity.

There are basic materials such as wheat, garlic, cotton, potatoes, salt, and grapes, as well as processed products such as bows and arrows, cotton and linen fabrics, pottery, woodware, lacquerware, and metal tools, as well as further cultural output, "A Brief History of the Tribe" , "Tribal Trading Code", "The Changes of Salt City", "Pava's Bizarre Adventure", "Ladybird" and other books.

There are even inventions and creations of the Yao people, such as fire and steam carriages, double city armor, flower boats, fire and steam stoves, hanging lanterns, sky lanterns, sandglass timers, etc.

Both in terms of variety and quantity, they are incredibly rich.

Even Kebuli sighed at these abundant supplies: "The development of Yao people's civilization is very balanced, and they have very excellent output in many fields. This is what they came up with... No wonder Yao God is confident and not afraid at all. No matter what happens in Dog City, the strong always dare to show and accept new things.”

"This is the proper posture of the Lord God. Lord Anubis was also like this in the past."

Yao people's goods arrived as tribute to Menis, but a strange thing happened.

Menis, who originally only cared about possession of tributes, actually showed curiosity about one thing. He kept looking at the tribute, as if he wanted to understand the mystery.

Then Menis' body suddenly shrank, becoming almost as tall as an ordinary undead warrior.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on tinkering with a pile of wood, looking full of interest.

"Incredible..."

"War, the epitome and epitome of war...Command and Conquer..."

"This is a depiction of gods and a microcosm of the world..."

"Wonderful, wonderful...amazing...Yao clan? God Yao...come on, come on!"

"Why don't you answer? Come on!"

Menes, who usually seemed cold and manic, was actually indulged in a pile of wood and parchment, talking to himself.

Charles, who was observing secretly, quickly pulled out a stack of leather scrolls.

The name and purpose of each Yao product is described on the leather scroll.

Charles' eyes stopped on a certain line.

it is this.

"War of Clans? No, the one with a lot of wooden statues is War of Clans 2: Seal of the Old Gods."

Charles was full of doubts.

This kind of wooden game actually arouses praise and excitement from Menis.

Charles also admitted that tribal war chess does have a magical quality.

Over in the kingdom, he often fought with the mage Andre and others around the campfire in the evening. Every time I play chess, after a little indulging in it, I realize that it's dawn, and when I wake up, it's dark again.

This is a game that eats up time and energy!

Kebli has a keen insight into the reason: "This is a specialty of civilization, with very strong civilization characteristics and special power. A god with a title like Menes will react very strongly to it."

"Very good, the effect of this war chess is worth a hundred ordinary tributes!"

"Is there anything else on the list?"

Charles looked through the scroll: "As for specialties, there are blast furnace honey wine, sour raspberry jam, and Guangming City tea."

Kebli's voice suddenly became lighter: "It seems that time is enough. Enough to get through these decades. As long as we maintain this stability, I can completely control Menis."

Charles listened silently.

"You go for a run now."

Kebuli pondered for a moment: "Since this Yao god has shown the magnanimity of the main god, we cannot lose our etiquette. The price of this batch of specialties is far lower than its due value... 4 civilized specialties are here in Menis It’s of extraordinary value, so I’ll give them the equivalent of 2 pieces of godhead to make up the difference.”

The King of Dog City put his hands behind his back: "This is also the respect due to a generous god... Maybe there will be cooperation in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

…

Charles brought the Godhead and Khebli's words true to form.

"We sincerely appreciate your candor and friendliness, and hope that we can have more and in-depth cooperation in the future."

Maocao said with a smile.

Suddenly she lowered her voice and warned: "Please be careful, Menis is a title god with extraordinary power, and its destructive power is unpredictable even within the seal of Dog City."

Charles looked horrified.

They actually knew that the things were for Menis?

How can this be?

Maocao said with a serious face: "Also, please formally inform Lord Menis. If he continues to harass you, we will take all necessary actions to shut him up."

Charles is stupid.

What's going on?

Menis is clearly still in Dog City, so how can he possibly harass the Yao people...or the Yao God?

wrong.

Menes was dead, and all that remained was the monster in Menes' body.

This monster really can do anything.

Maocao continued: "If Dog City is willing to open up to the outside world, it would be best if we could directly sanction Menis. We promise to only remove the culprits and will not affect the normal operation of Dog City."

"..."

Charles was so confused that he didn't know how to answer.

If possible, Lord Cable might actually agree. Let Yao beat Menes half to death first, and then the symbiotic control will be much easier.

But the problem is, it can't be done.
