I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 555 - 45: Envoys from the Dragon Dynasty, Trouble at the Door

Chapter 555: Chapter 45: Envoys from the Dragon Dynasty, Trouble at the Door

The following morning.

Since Ning Zheng initiated the Sea of Consciousness Sealing Technique, unsurprisingly, "pseudo-human amnesia" has firmly topped the forum’s trending topics.

A group of people complained, questioning how the pseudo-humans possessing them suddenly lost their minds?

It was too easy to recognize them, not fun at all.

Completely trash.

Many called out: The developers were clearly reversing the optimization, ruining the fun gameplay.

Ning Zheng couldn’t be bothered with these little blacksmiths, as most of their suggestions were of no developmental reference value.

They only feared chaos in the world.

However, Ning Zheng received some good news today.

Their team had successfully propagated [Cowardly Traitor Pseudo-human] in the third generation.

It possessed three main traits.

1. Cowardly, afraid of death.

2. No longer possessing blacksmith memories, nor knowing blacksmith core secrets (this is crucial).

3. After various demon beast parasitism experiments, eventually chose to parasitize Human Race mixed-blood hippocampus, henceforth the pseudo-horse mounted city defense team officially established!

One by one, the little blacksmiths rode pseudo-human hippocampi, searching everywhere.

Ning Zheng specifically went to the city gate to take a look; there he saw them recruiting a large number of refugees, queueing to enter.

And the hippocampus sensing each pseudo-human: "It’s him!"

Ah!

"You traitor!! Betraying our race!" The pseudo-human mingling among the refugees attempted to flee.

But several little blacksmiths quickly restrained him, "Send him to the smithy for incineration!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Heh heh, today was a big haul again!"

The pseudo-human was terrified, unaware of what he would face, until he reached the smithy’s entrance, feeling the resentment of countless pseudo-humans’ wailing and pain, enveloping the entire smithy.

"What is this? Inside seems like a graveyard!"

The pseudo-human was completely frightened, until he saw the weapons hanging on the wall, realizing these were the source of the resentment permeating outside the smithy.

...

Ning Zheng surveyed the scene, thinking these little blacksmiths recruiting refugees wasn’t just for increasing population numbers, preparing for future "rebellion."

They also wanted to take the opportunity to lure pseudo-humans in to smith.

Nonetheless, as Ning Zheng deployed successfully tamed [Cowardly Pseudo-humans], beginning to identify the refugees...

News came from the neighboring area.

Another big city had fallen!

Moreover, it was reported a Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator who came to aid was poisoned by a group of people, then numerous reckless pseudo-humans charged and overturned him alive.

Then they controlled this Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator, the spiritual root penetrated, weakening consciousness, beaten nearly to death... succeeded in possession.

This was the first Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator possessed, marking the debut of High Tier pseudo-humans.

Ning Zheng was equally shocked, speechless in his heart:

"Most Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators rarely venture out... Be cautious, without using their true form, how can pseudo-humans attack them?"

"Falling like this, that Dharma Aspect Realm is a disgrace!"

In Ning Zheng’s eyes, Dharma Aspect Realm is a threshold.

It is widely known, the current mature Undying cultivation system is very abnormal.

Five Elements Realm cultivators surviving even decapitation.

Upon reaching Dharma Aspect Realm, it is a major transformation.

Extremely hard to kill, even powerful ancient tomb owners are stumped by these annoying Dharma Aspect flies.

"The first Dharma Aspect... this pseudo-human’s snowball is rolling now!"

Ning Zheng could only lament some Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators really have higher ambitions than abilities.

However, certain family cultivators are just like that.

Those proud prodigies with their noses in the air disdain tomb raiding, as they do not lack tomb raiding resources.

Any who train outside, engage in tomb raiding, excavate ancestral graves a few times, wouldn’t end up like this.

It’s the tragic aftermath of the Sea Race not practicing ancestral sacrifices!

The Human Race excels at respecting the old and caring for the young, ancestral graves scattered across the Nine States, precisely due to such filial piety, Human Race ranks as Nine-State’s top... other races fall behind due to lack of filial piety.

Nonetheless, with the Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators slipping up, the Dragon Dynasty finally responded.

The Dragon Race started distributing some magical artifacts to their subordinate cities.

Mainly two types.

1. Simplified version of the Ark.

This surprised Ning Zheng somewhat.

Ark has already been mass-produced among the Human Race, due to the Human God incident, the forging technique was completely publicized, any entity with forging capabilities can make it.

If the Dragon Race has any spies within the Human Race, they could obtain this blueprint.

However, this improved Ark surprised Ning Zheng a bit, usable by Three Elements Realm, and its standard is not low!

Moreover, it’s been specifically modified for sea navigation.

This proves the Dragon Race still has talent in the magical artifact forging domain.

Considering the Dragon Race blacksmiths’ long lifespan, unlike the Human Race’s Xinyi Baisan who only have tens of thousands of years of lifespan.

They live longer, even a dog living for tens of thousands of years becomes essence, let alone Dragon Race blacksmiths?

2. Pseudo-human brainwave detection magic artifact.

This also slightly surprised Ning Zheng.

They too use brainwaves to detect pseudo-humans?

Yet what surprised Ning Zheng more was combining these two wasn’t free, but charged!

Two million Magic Coins!

Exactly the accumulated wealth an average city can muster from various family clans within.

Don’t ask.

Just assume Sea Race cities are that poor.

Previously, one of Pingchang City’s three major clans squeezed every last bit to gather ten million Magic Coins for Divine Weapon, but here poverty reigns.

Ning Zheng could only remark:

A deteriorated nation, and they’re still money-grabbing?

His Excellency’s disaster response experience is lacking, but money-grabbing skills are proficient.

Suddenly Ning Zheng felt that the corruption during Jiu Shui era, Xin Xichen era, was just minor issues.

This is an era comparing the worst.

The Divine Beast Race, never treated the lower class citizens as compatriots, nor as people!

Though apparently not the same race, not people, so guess it’s fine.

"So rotten, perhaps amidst pseudo-human attacks, secretly rebelling is not impossible."

Within hours of being notified by Kissing Fish City Lord, the high-and-mighty great turtle dispatched to "deliver" magical artifacts to Fish Wine City walked into the city gates.

"Where is the Fish Wine City Lord? Why not quickly greet and welcome!?"

An arrogant voice resonated, echoing throughout the entire city.

"Master, you are here!"

Several little blacksmiths immediately scampered over.

"Bone Demon Fish and Human Race mixed-blood? What despicable lot."

Elder Gui sneered, abruptly extending his hand, transforming it into a gigantic palm, crushing two fawning little blacksmiths.

Bang!

Several little blacksmiths ready to suck up instantly exploded, killed on the spot.

Little blacksmiths hiding behind the doorway were stunned, laughing gleefully, though their smiles were oddly unsettling.

Ning Zheng furrowed his brow deeply, stepping forward, cupping his hands in respect, "Welcome to the steward’s arrival."

Elder Gui smiled warmly, "This mixed-blood carrying Human Race lineage is easily possessed by pseudo-humans... This poses an unstable hidden threat, resolving it for your Excellency shouldn’t be an issue, should it?"

His words revealed a severe prejudice against the Human Race.

Especially the Sea Race nowadays, silently promoted as the Human Race’s antics, inciting further anger, with Elder Gui seemingly among them.

Yet, why not vent your anger on the Human Race instead, targeting the weak here...

And starting off with a demonstration of power.

The former City Lord probably had vested interests with him, killing the original City Lord upset him, likely intending to intimidate for protection money now.

Came not with good intent.

Ning Zheng’s expression flickered.

He merely sought a peaceful life, watching blacksmiths farm Three Flowers resource points daily, alongside observing neighboring Sea Race battle the disaster, yet unexpectedly trouble appears at the doorstep.

"Elder, rumored there’s magical artifact sales?" Ning Zheng wished to dismiss him quickly.

"Indeed."

Elder Gui beamed proudly, presenting a small Ark, a small magical artifact, "Without these two magical artifacts, surviving this tide might be difficult, fortunately, our Dragon Race Emperor shows compassion for the people."

He extended four fingers: "Four million Magic Coins."
