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

Chapter 172 Pacifying Disasters and Gathering Faith

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder understood the function of the device.

"Then hurry up and do it!" the elder said.

"Okay, let's do it now. It's very simple, we can make it today."

After saying that, Jerry immediately ran to the lab and started making it.

The Grand Elder didn't leave either. As if he had thought of something, he suddenly spoke up: "Jerry, this can be used as a weapon! A deadly weapon! An invisible weapon at that. If you put one near Heaven Dou City, I reckon that no matter how much the Heaven Dou Empire tries to cause trouble, it won't be able to make a ripple for several months."

"Even if the Heaven Dou Empire mobilized all its water-attribute soul masters, they still couldn't solve it. I know this all too well!"

"Elder, it's better not to. In the end, it's the ordinary people who will suffer. Besides, I think it would be against the natural order to use such a device as a weapon!" Jerry said solemnly.

"The Heavenly Dou Empire is acting very aggressively right now, so we should take precautions and be on guard," the Grand Elder said.

"That's easy. The Spirit Hall branch in Heaven Dou City is still there, isn't it? Just open up the logistics department there. Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi noticed the problem before, but they didn't dare to make it public at the time, for fear of causing panic among the people."

"Then let's do it again. By the time they find out, all the supplies will have been moved to Wuhun City. Without supplies, how can they start a war? Wars are all about supplies in the rear," Jerry said calmly.

"That's true, but what specific services should we offer them?" the elder asked.

"By opening up the exchange of spirit rings, anyone under 20,000 years old can participate. This will discourage many spirit masters from hunting spirit beasts. If they don't hunt spirit beasts, their source of income will decrease. Unlike Wuhun City, the Heaven Dou Empire doesn't have that many job opportunities."

"With fewer sources of income, many cultivation resources are becoming unaffordable. This is tantamount to indirectly restricting the Soul Masters of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Furthermore, opening clothing stores and restaurants all over the Tiandou Empire. These are all money-consuming industries. For an empire, the total amount of money is roughly fixed. If you spend too much on these industries, you will naturally have less in other areas."

"Arrange for some more people, but these will be done covertly. Have them sell properties in Spirit City, and incidentally, they can also help people obtain Spirit City residency. Once they have some assets in Spirit City, do you think they will still support Avalanche's war against Spirit City?"

"These people who handle the paperwork for you can prepare a document privately. Whether they acknowledge your identity or not is entirely up to us!"

"Isn't the Spirit Hall suffering from a drought? They're using that as an excuse to collect large quantities of food, and incidentally, other resources as well."

"That way, even if they are discovered, they will only think that the Spirit Hall is collecting supplies because of the drought, and they won't think of anything else."

"Many nobles even enjoy profiting from disasters. They hoard food and supplies in normal times and sell them during natural disasters. To the outside world, the Spirit Hall's current situation is a natural disaster, a perfect opportunity for them to strike!"

"Jerry, you even considered this! You even used the natural disaster you created yourself. Sometimes, thinking about it, it's truly terrifying!" the elder said.

"Elder, I'm doing this for the sake of Spirit City! Besides, when we made this arrangement before, you and the elders all supported it. Everyone got a share!" Jerry explained.

"I feel like everything you do has a purpose. I suddenly thought of your master's new disciple, the daughter of Emperor Xueye! You wouldn't have any plans for that, would you?" the Grand Elder said in surprise.

"Haha, Elder, guess?" Jerry said with a laugh.

"I don't want to ask anymore. We'll find out sooner or later," the elder said.

Jerry then returned to Wuhun City with the newly created device and the Grand Elder.

Upon arriving in Wuhun City, the air felt dry, and many decorative green plants had withered. A gust of wind blew by, stirring up sand and dust, and many buildings were covered with a thin layer of dust.

The once lush and vibrant Wuhun City now feels desolate.

"See? Jerry, this is what you've done!" Seeing the scene before him, the elder's anger flared up instantly.

"Elder, don't worry, it will be resolved soon," Jerry said awkwardly.

"Elder, let's go to the square together. We can announce to the public that we have a solution, which will win us popular support."

"Jerry, I feel like your heart is so dirty!"

"Elder, among you power-hungry people, how many are truly without ulterior motives? Compared to you, I'm nothing!"

"I can't be bothered talking to you anymore, let's go!"

Jerry and the Elder flew directly to the plaza.

Looking at the statues in the square, his own statue was still intact, but the statue of the angel god had lost its wings and had not been repaired.

"Elder, why hasn't the Angel God been repaired yet?"

"Isn't it your fault? There was an earthquake, and when we came back we started disaster relief, and then came the drought. Now everyone is in a state of panic. Some people are spreading rumors that the Spirit Hall has offended the gods and that this is divine punishment, but these people have all been suppressed."

"However, more and more people are beginning to believe that first there will be an earthquake, followed by a drought, and if this isn't addressed soon, the situation will become uncontrollable!"

"If there are still people like this, they must be spies from other empires. Whenever there is a natural disaster or man-made calamity, these people jump out to cause trouble. Don't suppress them anymore. If you encounter these people again, execute them on the spot. On the one hand, we will deal with the source of the problem, and on the other hand, we will make an example of them."

When the people of Wuhun City saw the Grand Elder and Jerry fly to the square, they all spontaneously came to the square.

Jerry wasn't wearing a mask this time because he had something to do.

"Lord Jerry, there's a drought! Please, Lord Jerry, bless us and let it rain soon!"

"May Jerry bless you!"

"May Jerry bless you!"

"May Jerry bless you!"

In an instant, the square was filled with people kneeling down.

The Grand Elder, watching from the side, couldn't help but grin.

"Elder, this isn't my fault! It all happened after you erected that statue!"

"I can't be bothered with you, just announce it yourself!"

"Okay!" Jerry then took out a soul-guided device with an amplification function.

"Dear residents of Spirit City, greetings! I have been away cultivating for some time and have not been keeping up with the latest news from the Spirit Hall. I feel deeply guilty for causing you all so much suffering during this period, and I apologize to you all."

The elder whispered from the side, "You really should apologize!"

Jerry heard this, gave an awkward laugh, and then said:

"I'm back today, so I'm here to solve the drought problem for everyone! To address this drought, I've developed a new type of soul-guiding device. It's been tested, and its effectiveness completely solves the drought problem in the Spirit City area. Furthermore, I declare that from this day forward, the Spirit City area will never experience drought again!"

Jerry put away the megaphone and flew directly to a height of nine thousand meters.

I originally wanted to install it directly in the floating courtyard, but considering that the courtyard is going to be rented out to others, it would be inconvenient to install the device there.

Then he took out a few small bases from the ring, installed the decorations directly on the bases, and then set up defensive devices and automatic attack devices on the bases.

After scanning the area of ​​Martial Soul City with his divine sense and determining the placement locations, it took twenty-eight devices to completely cover the entire Martial Soul City area.

From now on, these twenty-eight positions will need to be guarded by someone. Although there are defense and automatic attack devices, some Soul Masters with special abilities can still break through, so someone still needs to guard them.

Currently, there is relatively little water-attribute soul power in the air of the Wuhun City area.

Since it's unknown how many days it would take for the devices to recharge naturally, Jerry took out an energy storage device to charge them. As for the future, the devices will have to recharge themselves.

Furthermore, Jerry improved these devices by installing an energy storage unit, which stops spraying once it's full. It was also set to stop spraying automatically and require manual activation.

After all the soul tools were set up and charged, Jerry returned to the square. The people below were still there, waiting.

"All set up!" Jerry said.

"Then let's start it up, what are we waiting for?" the elder said.

"good!"

He then addressed the crowd in the square, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, all the equipment is now installed. It will begin to rain!"

After Jerry finished speaking, he activated all the devices directly through his divine sense.

The originally dry sky began to raindrops, one by one, then more and more raindrops fell, gradually turning into a drizzle, and then into a downpour!

As the raindrops began to fall and gradually turned into a downpour, all the people cheered and shouted loudly in the square, welcoming the heavy rain!

Some people realized what was happening and immediately knelt in the pouring rain, shouting, "Thank you, Lord Jerry! Lord Jerry, please protect us!"

Then more and more people knelt on the ground and shouted. Jerry saw a lot of faith power fly out from their bodies and directly merge into Jerry's statue.

Jerry was speechless at the sight. But it was his own statue; he'd let it absorb the energy for now, and take it all back sooner or later.

However, the fact that so many people thanked Jerry still made him blush with embarrassment.

He simply resolved the trouble he caused, yet so many people are thanking him. No wonder those gods like to create disasters and then step in to solve them! It's all the fault of the power of faith!
