Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

In Zhao Chuanxin's world, it still rained the next day.

In the world of "Code of the Old Gods", the cursed desert has a clear blue sky.

Zhao Chuanxin did not refresh the progress last night and stayed during the day today.

In fact, the current living conditions of Lubin government officials are quite poor.

As a commoner, Bayarbor could only live in a yurt outside regardless of his reputation among the people.

Fortunately, as the prefect, Zhao Chuanxin can have a bedroom alone, which is a pitiful privilege.

He opened the "Code of the Old Gods" in front of the house where the ground had just been laid.

[We saw a complex of round towers in the desert. Sand people came in and out, wrapping themselves airtight to avoid moisture loss. 】

[The craftsman told me: These towers were slowly built by collecting mucus secreted by a mushroom in the desert to bind the sand. There are usually underground rivers beneath the tower complexes. These high towers are to prevent the invasion of quicksand and protect the dug deep wells. If you look at the distribution of these towers, they are actually the meandering route of the underground river. 】

[The caravan leader nodded in approval: You are right. We need to replenish drinking water here, and our giant beetle friend also needs to drink water and eat, otherwise it will lose its temper and be unwilling to carry us and the goods. Remember, be low-key and humble here, because the sand people are very bad-tempered. 】

[We went to the largest round tower, and the sand people received us. 】

[Because they wrapped themselves so tightly, I couldn’t tell whether they were indifferent or enthusiastic. 】

[We entered the round tower of the sand people. Because the outer wall of the sand wall is thick and has a thermal insulation effect, it is much cooler here than outside. 】

[Inside is a tall circular staircase, spiraling upwards, connecting each floor of the tower. 】

[I found that there was no trace of religion in the round tower of the Sand People. I couldn’t help but curiously asked in a low voice: Do the Sand People have no faith? 】

[The clinker sand people have amazing ears. After hearing my words, they said in a loud voice: Religion is active compassion for the losers and the weak. The sand people who can live in the cursed desert are all strong. The suffering we have experienced has nothing to do with it. The gods can help. 】

Zhao Chuanxin said: It makes sense.

[The sand people asked the caravan leader: Merchant, is there any mushroom slime in the goods you are transporting this time? Our tribe is about to split up again. The nearby slime mushrooms have been harvested and no new round tower can be built. 】

[While we were talking, we went up to the second floor. There was a different world here. Behind the circular bar are pipes and tools for drawing water. There are various drinks extracted from desert plants, wine, and some weird food with no visible ingredients, including unknown insects. The dark brown hard shell is filled with roasted snow-white meat. It exudes a peculiar aroma. It is unknown whether it is delicious. 】

[There are not only sand people staying here, but also many other outsiders. 】

[The leader of the caravan shook his head and answered the sand people: There are not many slime mushrooms in other places. The price has risen sharply and there is no profit margin. 】

[Sha Min said: I can buy it at a big price. 】

[The caravan leader who just said he had no goods now asked enthusiastically: How much can I give? 】

It turned out to be a lay Buddhist who added money.

[The sand people hold out two fingers: two gems. 】

[The caravan leader joked: Man, it depends on what kind of gem it is. 】

[The sand people took out two gems from their arms and handed them to the caravan leader. 】

[I saw the gem and was greatly surprised. These two gems are blue and black. The blue sapphire turned out to be azure sapphire. 】

Zhao Chuanxin recalled, azure sapphire, isn't that a mineral that the Hai Clan is competing for? The whale and the octopus fought for the sapphire, and their human brains turned into dog brains.

The smart gyroscope is a collection that combines ghost armor, azure armor, stars and moon, azure crystal, pages of the "Devil's Codex", and the light of Red Island's enlightenment...

Among them, the blue crystal is the energy source. Without it, the smart gyroscope cannot function at all.

A piece of blue crystal is enough for a smart gyroscope to consume for one or two hundred years.

You can imagine the concept of a AA battery that can last for a hundred years...

[The caravan leader shook his head in disappointment: The azure crystal is cursing the desert and can only be paid tribute to the royal family. Except for the top puppets made by the third-level and ninth-level masters, ordinary people cannot extract its energy. The desert emperor is very militaristic. We don't want to see him become more powerful. That is definitely not a good thing for us. The black dragon core is a good gem. I think the sand pirates will pay a high price for it and look for second-level craftsmen to make dirty dragon breath weapons. But it still wasn't enough to pay for the mushroom slime needed to build the round tower. These two gems can only be exchanged for slime mushroom spore powder. I think you can grow a slime mushroom. 】

Zhao Chuanxin looked at it and had several thoughts in his mind.

In the Cursed Desert, houses cannot be built on sand alone. The mucus secreted by the slime mushroom seems to be just needed.

The sand people have money, so they take out two gems. Doing business here is a good idea.

Besides, building a house, right?

Haha... Isn't my contractor Zhao easy to pick up?

[I saw disappointment in Sha Min’s eyes. The caravan leader wanted more money, but the sand people thought it was not a good deal. Talks broke down. 】

[The craftsman explained: Mucus mushrooms grow slowly in the Cursed Desert. To grow into shape and extract the mucus, it takes many years of growth. 】

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't wait to try it now to see if watering with smelly liquid can promote the growth of mushrooms.

[Sand Min untied the gauze around his head, revealing a face with horrifyingly dry and cracked skin. This is the result of generations of them being exposed to wind and sun for a long time and living in extremely dry deserts. 】

[He paid for it, ordered a glass of water and drank it. 】

【We are also drinking water. 】

[The caravan leader said he would stay here for one day and leave tomorrow. 】

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly wrote:

[I secretly found the Sand People and told him: I can help build the round tower, and the price is the two gems. 】

How could the contractor, Lao Zhao, let go of such a tailor-made opportunity?

[The craftsman reminded me in a low voice: You'd better not let the caravan leader know, otherwise we will offend him. Cursing the merchants in the desert for excessive profits, he will definitely be furious if we disrupt his opportunity to increase prices and secretly do evil. 】

[After hearing this, the sand people asked me solemnly: Can you really build a round tower? 】

[I nodded firmly. 】

[Sand Min said: I will keep it secret and not let the caravan leader know about our transaction. However, the round tower I want to build is as tall as the one we are in now. It is a big project and requires a lot of slime. 】

Zhao Chuanxin immediately wrote:

[I said: We can break away from the caravan and stay here for a while. The caravan leader will leave tomorrow and he will not know about our deal. But in addition to the two gems, I also hope that you can find someone to guide us and take us to Rune City. 】

[The sand people immediately agreed. 】

After doing this, Zhao Chuanxin directly used the "key" to transfer an entire sand dune.

Curse the desert, if nothing else, except the inexhaustible supply of sand.

It's great, no more running around.

Close the "Code of Old Gods" and start work.

Using mountains of sand as material, the house rises at a speed visible to the naked eye.
