The Growth of a God

Chapter 130: The Surprise of the Burrowing Insect (25)

He Li is a deity, and also a second-generation citizen.

However, that is all in the past.

He Li is now just a road maintenance worker - a road maintenance worker who is responsible for opening mountains and digging rivers, and also has a part-time job protecting the engineering team from attacks by epic creatures.

As for the engineering team it belongs to?
It is an independent team directly under the jurisdiction of the White Bone City Hall.

On weekdays, members of the engineering team are scattered in various corners of White Bone City, leading their own lives.

However, once there is a mission, they will gather together as soon as possible and go to the most difficult and arduous front lines to build and maintain roads.

The team's personnel composition is also very mixed.

In addition to the skeleton people who are the main body, there are also crows responsible for road surveying, mermaids responsible for water source exploration, and cave-dwelling worms responsible for overall planning.

Yes, in addition to the members of the hundreds of mountain and sea tribes, this team also includes cave-dwelling insects from another world.

As the war came to an end, the cave-dwelling insect civilization on the verge of destruction had to seek help from outside in order to ensure the continuation of its civilization.

In this situation, the prophet of the immortals, Ba Lian, after careful consideration.

It was decided to use the Brilliant Realm as a transit station, allowing a small number of burrowing insects to come to the Mountain and Sea Realm to "work" under certain conditions and restrictions.

The burrowing worm that appeared in the engineering team is a worker of the burrowing worm civilization who came here in exchange for the help of the skeleton people in rebuilding the Malz world.

Due to its highly developed intelligence, it is responsible for the task allocation and planning of the entire engineering project in most cases.

As the main force in mountain excavation and river digging, He Li's main task when he is not working is to protect this "weak" burrowing insect.

......................................................................................................

"I've said it a thousand times. It's not that we are weak, but that you are too outrageous."

Supported by the steel skeleton, the burrowing worm, which still retained some biological organic matter, sighed helplessly.

This is a characteristic of most of the burrowing worms still alive today, and it is also one of the aftereffects left to the burrowing worm civilization by the great war.

"It is not something that ordinary civilizations can do to make carbon-based bones have the strength of high-hardness alloys."

He Li tilted his head slightly and stared at the burrowing insect with his empty eye sockets.

"High-strength alloy?"

"You mean the kind of skeleton that supports your body?"

He Li poked the giant burrowing worm's metal colony with some curiosity. He Li obviously didn't think it was strange that his bones were harder than the other's.

"That's not a skeleton, that's a metal colony suit."

Correcting He Li's statement somewhat helplessly, the burrowing worm explained further.

"The mountain and sea world has a stronger gravity than my world..."

"Without this metal colony, I would have trouble even breathing here."

The burrowing worms considered themselves to be physically strong among their kind, but it took them a long time to gradually adapt to the environment of the mountain and sea world.

On the other hand, the creatures in the mountain and sea world, even the weakest skeletons, can survive in the harshest environment.

Not to mention, the epic creatures that seem outrageous at first glance.

The cave-dwelling worms believed that it was definitely the most powerful individual below the Gods, and was an extraordinary creature that could only be bred in such a strange environment as the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"That's it!"

I don’t know whether I understood it or not.

He Li nodded with a look of realization, and then changed the subject and asked, "So you came to our world just to earn Sun Coins?"

He Li took out an exquisite sunstone from his dragon silk bag while speaking.

From the appearance, this sunstone presents a standard coin shape.

On the front and back of the coin, there are images of an eye and a skull respectively.

The eyes undoubtedly symbolize the eyes of the Creator, while the skull symbolizes the race of "Skeleton People".

"Of course. After all, our world no longer has the sun."

Staring at the sunstone in He Li's hand with shining eyes, the burrowing insects all sighed with emotion.

"Until the gods find a way to get the sun back, this sunstone produced in your world will be our hard currency."

"To be honest, we cave dwellers have come into contact with many civilizations and have seen many monetary systems."

"There is a currency system based on rare items, and there is also a credit system based on belief in gods..."

"But I've never seen anyone like you use secret treasures as currency."

The burrowing worms are not exaggerating in this regard.

Each of these sunstone coins produced in the City of Bones is a "precious" secret treasure.

Even if we exclude its circulation properties, it is still a treasure that would be fought over by extraordinary people in many worlds.

The most important thing is that it is not only the City of Bones of the Skeleton People that adopts the same approach.

The tears of the mermaid, the feathers of the crow, the scales of the singing snake...

Members of the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas all took their precious things and acted as general equivalents.

To this end, the City of Bones even set up a currency exchange department to count the real-time changes in exchange rates between different races to ensure the fairness of transactions.

To be honest, it seemed incredible to the burrowing worms that this special monetary system could be established so smoothly.

As the most powerful race in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Skeleton People did not take the opportunity to turn their own currency into an absolutely dominant currency. Instead, they tacitly maintained a system of free exchange of multiple currencies.

The special model, plus the value of the currency itself...

This is enough to ensure that this special monetary system will remain the unquestionable mainstream in the mountain and sea world for a considerable period of time.

"Is it so exaggerated?"

He couldn't help scratching the back of his head, He Li was acting as slow as ever.

Being in the special environment of the Mountain and Sea Realm, He Li really found it difficult to understand the amazement of outsiders like burrowing worms.

"But ever since Gu Ming introduced the Sun Coin, life does seem to be a little different."

Recalling the changes over the past few hundred years in his mind, He Li seemed to understand the burrowing insect's feelings a little bit.

The only thing that made He Li feel a little uneasy was that this change did not seem to have only good sides.

A special change that makes all individuals no longer equal seems to have been brewing quietly in this process.

The originally indifferent people began to have new pursuits.

Individuals with more money unknowingly have more say.
