Douluo: I Don't Want to Be a God, I Actually Became a God

Chapter 375 Build walls high and store grain widely

After seeing Xiao Wu and Ran Sen off, Yu Yuyi didn't rest either. She stood up, picked up the mask placed in her lounge, and air surged around her.

When he raised his hand again and put the golden half mask on his face.

There was only a tall and handsome young man there.

The golden half mask perfectly obscured his distinctive inhuman eyes, leaving only half of his face with pursed lips.

Compared to the men she often interacts with, Yu Yuyi's current pseudonym 'Yu Yi' has too soft facial features, as if the youthfulness that has not yet faded still remains on the young man's face.

But it doesn't matter, after all, not many people would dare to look directly at the face of her incarnation.

Yu Yuyi only needs to make sure that she appears in front of those partners with enough aura to suppress them.

The current situation is tense and time is even more urgent.

She did not have enough time to cooperate with those egoists in their back-and-forth performances. She had to issue orders to various places as quickly as possible in her identity as Yu Yi, and try her best to keep the chess game with the whole world as the chessboard in her hands.

Yu Yuyi raised her right hand and placed it on her left shoulder. The fingers that were on her left shoulder shed golden light that weaved in the air like threads. In a flash, a dark golden cloak appeared out of nothing and gradually covered her still thin figure.

When he stepped out of the door again, his identity transformation was completely completed, he became the boss of Xinghuo, Yuyi.

The folding fan fell into his palm as the ring on his finger flashed.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and the closed folding fan gently touched his chin.

"Next, let's go directly to Suo Tianzong's place to see what the city lords who were invited here are thinking."

"I hope they can behave themselves, otherwise they will delay my work..."

His/her temper is not very good towards people he/she does not approve of.

If we say that Yu Yuyi in her original form is easy for others to like her appearance, and also favor her every word and action, so her temper can be said to be extremely docile as long as people go along with her;

When Yuyi is in this form, he is more easily affected by his own arrogance that has been suppressed for a long time, and his temperament is erratic, changeable and unpredictable.

How you treat outsiders depends mainly on your mood.

When you are in a good mood, you can watch anything. You can also smooth things over when two parties are arguing, make jokes from time to time, and push and pull with a bunch of cunning guys to divide the interests.

Bad mood?

Then we can only let him do whatever he feels like.

As for others? He didn't care about their lives.

Soto City Lord's Mansion
Suo Tianzong was dressed in formal attire and sat in the main seat, listening to his subordinates reporting to him the names of the mayors of other cities who had already arrived, as well as the few who were still on the way.

"Who?"

Sensing that the airflow in front of him was distorted, Suo Tianzong alertly threw the teacup in his hand away.

"Haha, how are you, Lord Suo?"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice appeared in the direction where Suo Tianzong had just thrown the teacup.

Just as the fragile white porcelain teacup was about to touch the solid ground, a slender hand picked it up.

He casually placed the teacup on the low table beside him, and his other free hand had already leisurely and elegantly unfolded the folding fan.

The green-toned folding fan painted with a picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains covered the visitor's smiling mouth, leaving only the silver-white vertical pupils exposed through the holes in the mask, revealing the visitor's identity.

"It's you." Suo Tianzong's vigilant expression relaxed a lot. He looked at the young man in front of him with a headache, "Why are you here like this?"

Yu Yi put down his folding fan and tapped his palm lightly, "Why? You don't recognize me in this state?"

"...Of course I recognize him."

"That's it." Yu Yi sat down in the first seat at the bottom without any hesitation, tapping the table with his index finger, "Have a cup of tea."

Suo Tianzong looked at the visitor who seemed to be at home, and couldn't help but press his brows, "Give him the tea that Xinghuo sent last time."

The subordinate who had just been reporting something also wisely withdrew, just pretending that he was just a servant serving tea and water.

Even so, Yu Yi still made an unhappy "tsk" sound.

"What's wrong again?" Suo Tianzong couldn't help but ask with concern.

Yu curled her lips: "I'm tired of drinking these, they're boring."

Suo Tianzong felt that he was really asking unnecessary questions.

I was too lazy to chat with this guy who was getting more and more willful as his temper grew, so I asked him directly why he came. "Why don't you tell me why you came here today?"

Yu held his chin with one hand, his eyes fixed on the outside of the door. If the layers of courtyard walls could be penetrated by his sight, he would probably see the lords of other cities and their heirs who were bowing to each other, chatting with each other and building relationships regardless of whether they had any friendship or not.

"Let's see how many restless dogs there are."

He said it lightly, but his expression was serious in contrast to his tone, "I don't want a few lackeys from the Spirit Hall to sneak in here, not even from the two empires."

"Why, has the situation changed again?"

Although Suo Tianzong has been cooperating with Xinghuo for seven or eight years, which can be rounded off to ten years, some of his intelligence still lags behind that of Xinghuo's senior management.

Of course, this is still related to the fact that the information is not urgent. If the three forces really engage in a firefight, the military intelligence they transmit will definitely not lag behind the top leaders of Xinghuo.

This is why he was willing to work with Xinghuo for such a long time.

In addition to the few people at the top who were indeed suitable for his temperament, he had the foresight to see the extraordinary nature of this spark as early as the very beginning.

At first, this small shop appeared in the nearby city of Nottingham, and all it could be found was solving trivial matters between ordinary people.

Then for some reason, no one would think that a long-lasting spark would gradually grow stronger.

Just like the stars in the sky falling to the ground, the tiny sparks eventually become a raging fire that sets the whole field on fire.

By the time someone wanted to control this organization that was no longer under control, they were already helpless and could only watch the technology flowing out of the Spark, or what they called "science" and "infrastructure", become available to the general public at low prices.

They could not stop the rise of this behemoth.

It is also impossible to stop the voices of ordinary people that have been suppressed for a long time.

Yu Yi had nothing to do, so he turned the folding fan in his hand over and over again.

He did not forget to respond to Suo Tianzong's question, "Ah, this is so troublesome. I thought Xue Ye was a smart person, but he is so conceited that he will most likely fall flat on his face."

"Hmm?" Suo Tianzong pondered, "Could it be him..." He made a drawing gesture at his neck with his right hand.

Yuyi: "Not yet. I guess it will take another five, six, seven or eight years." "How many years exactly?"

Although I've long been accustomed to this guy's occasional unreliability, but can this matter be brushed aside just because it's so unreliable? !

Yu Yi calculated impatiently, "I'll calculate it for you hypothetically, you know Poison Douluo, right?"

"Yes, Dugu Bo."

"The old monster can make poisons, so he can naturally detoxify. But this is not the direction of his research, so at best he can only see that Xue Ye was poisoned, and hang on to his life at the most dangerous moment. So with him here, Xue Ye can know that what I said is true, and he will actively look for someone who can save him and appease the mastermind behind the scenes."

"After that, apart from the precious spirit masters of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect who can give some light treatment and keep Xue Ye alive for a short period of time, I remember that a few years ago, there was a spirit master with Nine-Hearted Begonia in the Royal Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire, named Ye Lingling. Ah, this martial spirit is quite rare, and basically the next one will appear only after the previous owner dies. You may not know what the Nine-Hearted Begonia is capable of, so let me tell you..."

"That is the auxiliary martial spirit that even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is afraid of."

Yu Yi continued to speak, wanting to see Suo Tianzong's shocked expression, "Oh, right."

"There are also rumors that the Nine-Hearted Begonia who has cultivated to the level of Titled Douluo can revive the dead, flesh out bones, and pull people back from the brink of death."

"Pfft-cough cough cough!"

Suo Tianzong lived up to Yu Yi's expectations. As soon as he heard the additional words, the tea he had just put into his mouth was instantly sprayed out.

He coughed and choked, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a piece of paper.

"As long as the owner of this martial spirit is here, Xue Ye will be able to survive."

Yu Yi spread his hands and said innocently, "But, I've already said that it's just a rumor. It also requires a Nine-Hearted Begonia Spirit Master who is a Titled Douluo. When I saw that girl a few years ago, she was only at level 35 in spirit power. Do you think she can be forced to grow into a Titled Douluo in just these few years?"

"Everything is possible, isn't it?" Suo Tianzong regained his composure and began to analyze rationally.

But to be able to say this, I guess there is not much rationality left.

"So I'm counting it in, right? If it relies solely on the Nine-Hearted Begonia to sustain it, Xue Ye can last up to five years. Of course, the premise is that the poisoner doesn't find out that his poison has been discovered."

"In five years, Ye Lingling has not made any breakthroughs. That is her limit."

"And the information I have shows that the poison seems to be a secret technique of a certain family, and the person who can cure the poison will probably be on his way to Tiandou City in a few days."

Suo Tianzong: "What you mean is..."

"Don't touch him." Yu Yi waved his hand to deny Suo Tianzong's intention to take action. "Not to mention that you don't have overwhelming power to defeat the leader who specializes in 'attack', Xue Ye's survival is a hundred benefits to us and no harm at all."

"We need more time for the three parties to maintain superficial stability. You must take this opportunity to speed up the alliance with the surrounding city lords. If you can incite rebellion, do it. If you can't, just do it yourself. You can be the lord of one city or two cities. You just need to work harder and worry more."

"When the surrounding cities are united with us, we can build high walls and store up food. As for whether to claim the title of king or not, it's up to you."

Suo Tianzong took a sip of tea and couldn't swallow it or spit it out.

The corner of his eye twitched as he looked at this little devil who was playing badly. He felt that this guy in this form was really uncute no matter how he looked at him.

Even so, Suo Tianzong still wanted to defend himself: "All I want is for the people under my rule to live in peace and not be persecuted by those wars."

"Hmm, hmm." Yu Yi pulled the pastry from Suo Tianzong and stuffed it into his mouth while answering perfunctorily.

Suo Tianzong was so angry that he wanted to snatch the plate of pastries back so that the kid wouldn't be so perfunctory and arrogant.

Yu Yi was certainly not just being perfunctory. He actually thought that Suo Tianzong, who had such an idea, was much better than Xue Ye, who relied solely on soul masters and thought that it was no big deal as the three major sects were within his territory.

If a leader can only see the upper class, then this rule is doomed to not last long.

If we cannot see that the foundation of the castle in the air is crumbling, and if we cannot see what kind of life the ordinary people without special abilities lead underneath, then what is the difference between such rule and a mirage.

Of course, it is impossible to simply deny the existence of soul masters.

In this world, the fighting power of soul masters is still considerable.

Although only one or two soul masters among many soul masters may be able to do something as powerful as overwhelming waves, both high-level and low-level soul masters can create billions of noises.

Their unrestrained and powerful military force may gradually despise the law and human ethics as their soul power grows and the social status quo where no one can resist them, until the implicit rules of stability within the human group are completely torn apart, becoming a new man-made disaster that is more unpredictable than natural disasters.

This is not alarmist.

During those years of traveling, Yu Yuyi had seen many soul masters who relied on their high soul power levels to gradually trample on the law and world outlook.

After the many crimes committed by these soul masters were exposed by the world, they were called evil soul masters.

They often have nowhere to go and are eventually kicked out and pushed into an uninhabited area to fend for themselves.

Of course, there are also rumors that believers of evil gods will regard them as messengers sent by evil gods and accept them.

The only reason why rumors are just rumors is that no one verifies their authenticity.

Yu Yuyi also tried to look for it, but all she found were some small villages.

Because the people recruited there are all evil soul masters with unforgivable sins, so overall, it can be described by one idiom.

——'Evil will be punished with evil', nothing more than this.

She also thought about how to control those soul masters who have been thinking highly of themselves for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Do we just rely on their dispensable loyalty, patriotism, and moral integrity, and their precarious values? Or do we expect them to exercise self-control?

This is obviously impossible.

Military force is necessary, but of course relying solely on force is not enough. There must be corresponding rules to control those soul masters who are becoming increasingly unruly.

Of course, the premise of this control is still to rely on the use of force.

Yu Yuyi had slowly tested all of these in Xinghuo. The complicated and trivial rules and regulations in the process of adventurers taking on tasks, submitting tasks, and getting rewards were added little by little during the trial run.

Where there are rules, there are naturally people who try to defy them.

As for how to deal with those people, apart from having higher-level adventurers to accept this task, Yu Yuyi herself can convince those who violated the rules, not to mention that behind all this, there is Douluo as a backer.

The more Yu Yuyi thought about it, the more she felt that if Suo Tianzong on her side really wanted to be a king or something, it was not impossible for him to do so.

After all, if you need a backer, you have one; if you need military strength, you have military strength.

The first thing Yu said was, "How about you think about the possibility of becoming king now?"

Suo Tianzong: …………

"I, don't, want to!"

"Okay, okay." A man who is stubborn all his life!
Suo Tianzong: I’m going to be pissed off to death by this little brat!
It is impossible to become a king. The best that can be achieved is a round-table meeting among several parties.

From now on, it will be up to them to evolve a viable political model that adapts to this world.
