I am the one running the game

Chapter 949: I haven't killed animals recently, but you really thought I became a vegetarian

After circling around, Lu Xingshi returned to the Dragon Mountain Range and began to forcibly extract energy from the Dragon Mountain Range to supplement his own strength.

After all, he still has to improve his strength to the demigod level.

Currently, only the Dragon Mountains meet his requirements.

Then we will study part of the evil creature to see if we can infer the current evil god.

As for the treasures needed for divine inspiration, Lu Xingshi didn't need to worry about it.

When the various countries surrounded Cato and Edward, Lu Xingshi planned to blackmail them.

The dispute is still ongoing.

They must give it to him. If they don’t, Lu Xingshi will definitely use meteorite magic to smash their capital.

But how to give and how much to give is a very complicated matter.

Lu Xingshi was not in a hurry either. There was no way such things could be done quickly.

"Grand Duke, the environment of the Dragon Mountain Range seems to have declined recently. Compared with before, it has dropped by nearly 30%."

"If we continue to descend, the Dragon Mountain Range may be destroyed." As soon as Bri arrived, he started complaining to Lu Xingshi.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he said slowly, "It's just a minor problem. It's probably caused by the Immortal Dragon being split in two. It will recover after a while."

This must be false. The reason for this is that Lu Xingshi swallowed up the elemental particles of the entire Dragon Mountain Range in an overdraft manner.

The extraction efficiency is a little low, but it is authentic and the power of the earth condensed is very pure.

On the contrary, if other energy is used, not only will the conversion efficiency be reduced, the quality will be poor, and he will have to pay the cost himself.

He then chose the Dragon Mountains. The disadvantage is that it might take a little longer, about a month, to reach the standards he needs.

Fortunately, he can afford to wait for this month.

"This... doesn't have anything to do with you, Grand Duke." Bri asked the question he really wanted to ask.

He is not a fool. This situation only happened after Lu Xingshi came back. Currently, the only one who can carry out such a large-scale change is Lu Xingshi.

"I haven't gone out recently, how could it be me?" Lu Xingshi denied it without hesitation.

It's not because he feels guilty, but to avoid trouble.

The Dragon Mountain Range involves the interests of the entire Orei Empire. The decline in the energy environment will inevitably affect the output of benefits.

If people really knew about this, there wouldn't be any big troubles, but small troubles would be inevitable.

"According to the research of steam experts, once it drops to 50%, it will affect the ecology of the Dragon Mountains and lead to..." Bri said something rambling.

It is probably affecting output now. If it continues to fall, it will not be an output problem, but ecological extinction.

After all, the special environment of the Dragon Mountains has resulted in abundant products and rapid resource recovery, which makes the ecological environment there very different from that of the outside world.

Therefore, when the energy environment plummets, it is impossible to say that there is no impact, especially when it is broken in half.

"Then I can't help it. Look, I've been researching for so long, and I've only produced an extraordinary soldier of the earth elves." Lu Xingshi pointed to the floating earth ring: "It's made of the raw materials for making witchcraft weapons."

"If you want me to solve the problem in the Dragon Mountain Range, you have to consider my ability."

"If you want to send a meteorite to the capital of a certain empire, that's no problem, but if you ask me to deal with environmental problems, that's not what I'm good at." Lu Xingshi lied with his eyes open.

Seeing Lu Xingshi's attitude, Bri changed the subject: "I just want to inform you, Grand Duke, that this year's dividend may be reduced."

"It doesn't matter if it's reduced. It all depends on human efforts." Lu Xingshi said calmly.

"There is one more thing. There seems to be a solar eclipse in the north, and Edward is rushing over to deal with it." Bree said again.

Lu Xingshi said indifferently: "Well, it has nothing to do with me."

He didn't have much in mind to get involved with Edward right now, so he answered perfunctorily: "What about the top-level earth-attributed treasures and magical tools that I asked various empires for before? How is the negotiation going?"

Although he said this, he was thinking about one thing in his heart: the solar eclipse and the protagonist.

He himself didn't believe it if he said it wasn't a big deal.

So he thought about asking the other countries to pay back what they "owed" him.

"It's still under discussion, mainly about quantity."

"The nations think that the number of top-level earth-attributed treasures and magical tools you proposed, ten per family, is too many."

"They only gave us one each." Brie was helpless about this, as they were just arguing with him.

Hearing about this direct act of negating the value, Lu Xingshi's face turned dark.

"These people are really not afraid."

"Which one is the most troublesome?" Lu Xingshi felt that he couldn't continue to drag it on like this, otherwise who knows when he will be able to get what he wants.

We must make an example of someone who has done something terrible.

"They are..." Bri reported the names of several empires. He knew that Lu Xingshi didn't want to wait any longer and was ready to take action directly.

He actually knew that Lu Xingshi would be easy to talk to if his interests were not affected.

But once it directly touches Lu Xingshi's interests like this time, Lu Xingshi will show his brutal side. "Okay, I'll take note of it." Lu Xingshi said calmly, "Go back and give them a quote, double the original amount."

Brie didn't ask stupid questions like how could they give each other twenty pieces if they didn't give each other ten pieces.

"Yes, Grand Duke, but doubling it is not enough." Buri said suddenly, "With your status, you need at least 50 pieces each."

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he felt that it was these politicians who were the most evil.

Not all empires can afford it, mainly because Lu Xingshi’s restrictions are too strict.

The combination of earth attribute and top level is very troublesome.

If this cannot be given, the Orei Empire can step in to help with the communication, charge some agency fees, and make another profit directly.

"Let's do as you say." Lu Xingshi definitely agreed. After all, he wasn't the one being screwed. But he also said, "I've given the Empire so many benefits, why doesn't the Empire show some appreciation?"

"What do you want?" Brie wasn't surprised.

"I'll give you a discount. Ten of each of the top-level earth-attributed magical weapons and treasures." Lu Xingshi gave an offer.

This time, Brie didn't discuss anything and just nodded: "Don't worry, I'll send it to you."

Things are different now. Lu Xingshi has created such huge benefits for the empire. If the empire still doesn't give back, Lu Xingshi really doesn't mind making a major change in the top management of the Orei Empire.

As for restrictions? Forget about that. This time there are no restrictions. The treasures and magic weapons of each empire must be given.

From the moment Lu Xingshi asked for the list, it meant that he was serious about it.

The Aore Empire will not make itself boring.

"I thought you would come up with other excuses to put me off." Lu Xingshi said immediately.

"I dare not." Buri could see that Lu Xingshi really intended to kill.

"Okay, go do it, I'll be back soon." Lu Xingshi was still very dissatisfied with this. You made the mistake first and were caught, so you have to stand at attention when you are beaten.

In the end, you have to play this trick on him. Do you really think he is not popular?

Ten pieces each is not a difficult task for those empires, they just don’t want to give so many.

Since the other party was cheating first, Lu Xingshi didn't plan to follow the formal procedures.

If he is not playing tricks, then let him argue as he pleases. It is understandable that the process takes a longer time. After all, it is normal for such a large empire to have slow efficiency.

If we fail to meet his psychological expectations, it’s not a problem of process, but that his meteorite technique is not smooth enough.

Bri left quickly, and Lu Xingshi directly summoned the Rock Dragon Beast, chose a direction and rode it directly there.

"First, destroy the capital of the empire as an appetizer."

"Let's choose the closest one." Lu Xingshi glanced at the list and immediately selected the target.

There is no such thing as decision-making difficulty. If you really have no choice, just go down the list from top to bottom.

"After destroying them, I still have to go to their treasury to look for treasures. It's really troublesome."

"They didn't have to die, and I didn't have to go over and pick them up myself." Lu Xingshi's face was full of disgust. Something that could be turned into a small matter had to be made into such a hassle.

All I can say is that if these empires met him, they would be doomed to die.

...

"Order... is really hard to maintain." Edward felt the calling of his priesthood. What he obtained was the most powerful priesthood in the world, at least that's what the calling said.

So he needs to represent the world, maintain all order, and fight all chaos.

"That's not a solar eclipse, that's a black hole refuge."

"You are no match for the opponent if you go alone. You need the help of the Orei Empire and Grand Duke Landon." said the Soul Dragon.

The black hole shelter is about to open, and the second round of invasion by the interstellar survivors is about to begin.

The so-called order is something that is beneficial to the world, and something that is harmful to the world is chaos.

Therefore, Edward has the calling of the priesthood of order, which means that he represents the world.

As for the Chaos Priesthood...it doesn't exist. The world cannot create a rule that is harmful to itself.

The Dragon of Life and the Dragon of Death have been rather silent lately. After all, they originally wanted Edward to have both the priesthoods of life and death, but it ended up being the so-called order.

Unfortunately, order is not a natural phenomenon like wind, rain, thunder and lightning, but more like a new priesthood possessed by civilization.

"It's difficult. Grand Duke Lanton has to guard the Dragon Mountains."

"The Aore Empire is also being held back by many other empires. Even if there is no war now, they cannot mobilize their troops at will."

"And they can't accomplish anything alone. If we want to win, we have to unite all the empires." Edward naturally knew what the situation was like in the black hole shelter.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably have to face a star alliance with billions of people.

A black hole refuge is said to be a refuge, but in fact the space inside is comparable to that of a star.

Unless the black hole shelter also experiences a regression of civilization, the military force formed by the population alone is an extremely terrifying offensive.
