Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 167 Desert Base

Elder Golden Crocodile had no choice but to accept his bad luck.

However, he had personally experienced the power of a grenade; even an ordinary Soul Emperor would find it difficult to withstand such a small grenade.

"Jerry, can you give me a few of these?" Elder Golden Crocodile asked. There are so many disciples in the family. Although they no longer hunt soul beasts, there are still battles between soul masters. This thing can be used as a trump card to save their lives.

"These are prototypes. We only made two; one was originally intended for collection. But the Grand Elder saw them and let him try them out, just for fun! However, this is still in the research and development stage and needs further improvement!" Jerry said.

"Alright then! Once you've finished making them, you must give me a few!" Elder Golden Crocodile said with a smile.

However, Elder Golden Crocodile's smile almost scared Jerry.

Elder Golden Crocodile now had a patch of hair on his head that wasn't completely burned off, his eyebrows and beard were all burned off, leaving a black mark on his face, which was covered in black soot and wrinkles.

His smile revealed his bright white teeth, making him look a bit like an African refugee—no, he was even uglier than an African refugee.

Jerry and the Elder both felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

"Golden Crocodile, you should go back and tidy yourself up first. You look really bad right now. If the other elders see you like this, you'll lose face!" the First Elder said.

"Alright, alright, I'll go get ready. Oh, Jerry, bring me that hair growth serum later, I won't be going out for the next few days!" Elder Golden Crocodile said.

"Okay! Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem with the products my master developed!"

Elder Golden Crocodile then flew away immediately, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

"Elder, I'm going to be making an even more powerful soul tool next. Are you going to stay and watch, or is there something else?" Jerry asked.

"I'm not leaving. Just make it in front of me! I want to see how it's done!" the elder said.

"Okay then." Jerry then returned to the lab to prepare for making the rest.

Upon seeing Jerry return to the research department to work, the Grand Elder's face twitched several times.

"Jerry, do you think we should make it somewhere else? Although you say it's safe, it's better to be safe than sorry. If it explodes in Wuhun City, not to mention whether people will get hurt, all your equipment here will be damaged!" the elder advised.

"Yeah, I'll find a deserted island, do the experiment there, and once it's done, I'll just throw it at Poseidon Island," Jerry joked.

"No way, go somewhere else. Poseidon Island was destroyed in the last tsunami and is now barren and under reconstruction. You know about my relationship with Poseidon, and I don't want to have a direct confrontation with her," the elder said.

"Alright then! I'll do it in the southern desert, is that alright?"

"That place is good; there aren't many people around," the elder said.

Jerry then teleported directly to the desert, found an empty space with nothing around him, and took out a small courtyard from his ring.

Yes, it's about setting aside a small courtyard, a modern small courtyard.

Jerry discovered that he had several experimental sites, and each time he went there he had to rebuild the house, which was very troublesome. So he made a base and had people build houses on it.

It's similar to a floating house, but this house is placed inside a ring, so there's no teleportation array or propulsion device.

Because it doesn't require a propulsion device to move, it's not even as fast as Jerry's teleportation.

This yard is specifically for experimental purposes. It's fully equipped, so once it's taken out of the yard and placed on the ground, it's ready to use immediately.

However, the area outside the yard was desolate, so Jerry set up a barrier around it and scattered many plant seeds inside. Then, with a catalyst, the seeds began to take root and sprout, and soon an oasis grew in the desert.

There is very little moisture in the desert, but there are still water-attribute soul energy particles in the air.

A special device was made to collect water-attribute energy, then the collected water-attribute energy was converted into water and sprayed out.

Jerry dug a large pool in front of the door, and after setting up the device, he started it up.

Jerry didn't charge the device; he let it collect energy on its own, since he'd been here for more than just a day or two.

Jerry simply made a simple device, but little did he know that it would bring him unexpected results later on.

After Jerry finished making the arrangements, he notified the Grand Elder, who arrived quickly.

"Jerry, your house is finished so quickly?"

"No, it was built before and has always been kept in the ring. You can just take it out," Jerry said casually.

"That's a great idea! It would be wonderful if all houses were built like this in the future. If living here is uncomfortable, we can just move with our houses. If the dimensions are standardized, we only need to plan the parking spaces on the Spirit Hall's grounds, so we won't have to demolish the existing buildings for future construction, saving time and effort!" the Grand Elder said.

"Elder, don't even think about it. The Spirit Hall doesn't have that many materials. The base is the same as the floating house. If you had to choose between making it like this and making it into a floating house, which would you choose? Besides, the last time we made the floating house, we almost exhausted the materials that the Spirit Hall had collected over the years. Although we are still collecting them, the usage is too great, so they are still very scarce!" Jerry said.

"Alright then, it's just a bit of a pity!" the Grand Elder said. He had been paying close attention to the construction of Martial Soul City recently, so he had given this matter more thought.

"Then I'll begin the experiment. Elder, you can go over and have some tea if you're free. These aren't ordinary tea leaves; they're from an 80,000-year-old tea tree," Jerry said.

The Grand Elder was stunned by the tea leaves. They were leaves from an 80,000-year-old tea tree! Wouldn't each leaf be an 80,000-year-old soul ring?

Seeing Jerry grab a handful and put it into the teapot, the elder felt his heart bleed.

"Jerry, isn't this a bit wasteful? This could generate a spirit ring!" the elder said.

"Don't worry, Elder. Although this tea tree is 80,000 years old, it hasn't become a soul beast yet. It was planted near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. However, if it is transplanted, it should evolve into a soul beast after a while, and then its leaves can generate soul rings!" Jerry said calmly, without stopping his tea-making movements.

Although we can't produce spirit rings yet, there's still a chance to generate them.

An 80,000-year-old spirit ring—you may not lack it, but many others do. Forget it, the Grand Elder is too lazy to think about it anymore. Thinking about it too much only brings heartache and exhaustion!

Then I took a sip of the tea that Jerry had brewed. The tea was fragrant and had a unique taste, which made me feel deeply relaxed and nourished. It also felt like there was an energy purifying my body and soul.

The elder's eyes immediately lit up.

"Jerry, this tea is very good. Give me a few pounds of tea leaves."

"Elder, are you kidding me? A few kilograms? Although I have planted more than a dozen tea trees, only one of them is 80,000 years old. The yield is very small. After processing, it will not even weigh a kilogram."

Jerry cultivated several tea trees for his own consumption, but most tea trees don't even reach the age of a thousand years, and ten thousand years is extremely rare. Moreover, drinking this kind of tea regularly has some special effects.

"Then give me half!"

"No, my master took half of it directly! Besides, this tea tree can't be accelerated; if it is, it won't have the same taste!"

"Chrysanthemum Douluo took half? He even took the tea leaves he swindled from me last time. That old bastard Chrysanthemum Douluo always hides his good stuff. Next time, I'll make him bleed. Then give me half of what you have here, and you must have some that are a bit younger in age, right? I don't mind, give me some of everything."

Hearing the elder speak of his master like that, Jerry grinned. "Master, you'd better pray for yourself. I didn't mean to say it; it just came out of my mouth!"

"Elder, you're being very impolite! The tea outside is all under ten years old, while my tea is at least a hundred years old, and there's not much of it. I need to drink this for a year!"

"Is being polite even helpful? Could you give me some more tea?"

"Give it a try, it might work!"

"Jerry, could I have some tea leaves?"

"cannot!"

"I……"
