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

Chapter 190: Developing the Coastal Economy Cuts Off Seagod Island's Supplies

Jerry had just returned to Wuhun City when he received a message from the Grand Elder, instructing him to visit him as soon as he got back.

"Elder, Xue Ke has successfully taken over the throne in the Heaven Dou Empire. It was relatively easy because of what happened in the Heaven Dou Empire before. Xue Beng fled and hasn't returned for almost a year. Many people's minds have changed. In addition, Xue Beng's return overturned everyone's mentality, so Xue Ke's succession was very easy," Jerry said.

"That's good. Now we can say that the mainland is at peace!"

"We can say we're at peace now. The two empresses of the two great empires are even from the same sect; they probably won't be fighting each other anymore!"

"Jerry, you've accomplished something no one else has. The Spirit Hall has been thinking for many years about how to resolve the relationship between the two great empires. Back then, my granddaughter Qian Renxue infiltrated Heaven Dou City for so many years, also to resolve the empire's problems."

"But seriously, who came up with the idea of ​​infiltrating the empire and replacing the prince? And to have a girl replace a boy, that's really something!" Jerry said with a laugh, thinking that the method was really stupid.

Boys tend to have more social interactions, and having a girl do it for them could easily expose their true nature.

Moreover, Qian Renxue has innate soul power at level twenty. With such high talent, it's a waste that she doesn't cultivate but instead goes to another country to play the role of an undercover agent.

"It was Bibi Dong's idea. Renxue and Bibi Dong don't get along, and Renxue wanted to achieve something to show her. I couldn't stop her," the Grand Elder said.

"Then you should thank me, Elder. If it weren't for me, would your granddaughter have been able to come back? She'd probably still be hiding in the Heavenly Dou Empire!" Jerry said with a smile.

Although Qian Daoliu wanted to thank Jerry, seeing Jerry's smug look, he simply didn't want to talk to him anymore.

What are your plans for the future?

"Isn't Poseidon Island the only remaining option? Does the Grand Elder not want me to touch Poseidon Island?"

"You can move, but at least leave Poseidon a way out!"

"Yes, Elder!" Jerry said with a smile, staring at the Elder.

Jerry then returned to his lab.

To control Poseidon Island, one must undoubtedly start with the coastal cities, whose inhabitants rely on the sea for their livelihood and worship the sea god.

People from nearby cities would worship the sea god every time they went out to sea, praying for a safe voyage and a good catch.

Then I can start from this aspect and research more advanced tools for going out to sea and fishing.

When everyone uses tools and gains more, their concept of God diminishes, and God gradually fades away.

In the past, we only heard about things that gods could do in legends. Now that humans can do them too, would you still believe in gods?

When Jerry arrived in Hanhai City, the city lord had already been notified and was waiting for him.

"Lord Jerry, I am the city lord of Hanhai City. You can entrust all matters to me, and I guarantee I will handle them perfectly."

"You're too kind, City Lord. I've come to Hanhai City mainly for development purposes. People inland enjoy eating seafood these days, so I came to take a look first!"

"Really? People in the mainland like seafood? That's great! It's too humid here to grow crops. Everyone here relies on fish from the sea to survive, so we don't have much money. If we can sell our seafood in the mainland, everyone will thank us!" the city lord of Hanhai City said excitedly.

"How do you usually fish?"

"Lord Jerry, I'll take you to see the fishing boats."

The city lord then showed Jerry the fishing boats and tools.

Jerry shook his head, thinking the tools were too outdated.

"Lord, our Spirit Hall has developed new fishing equipment, but we don't have any fishermen. Could you arrange for 10 experienced fishermen for me? I'd like to try fishing at sea!" Jerry said.

"Sure, sure, let us see the new fishing equipment too."

Then Jerry went to the beach, found a relatively deep spot, and took out a 100-meter-long steel fishing boat directly from his ring.

The appearance of a colossal creature stunned the nearby fishermen.

"Lord Jerry, what is this?" the city lord asked, pointing to the fishing boat that Jerry had taken out.

"This is the 100-meter fishing boat that the Spirit Hall is researching. The water here is too shallow, so I put it there. If it is to be put into use, a special dock will need to be built. This is just a test."

Then the city lord led Jerry in a small boat, accompanied by ten experienced fishermen, to the vicinity of the hundred-meter fishing boat.

At this moment, several iron chains were lowered from the ship.

"Tie these chains to the boat," Jerry ordered, and everyone began to work.

After it was secured, the crane on the 100-meter fishing boat lifted the small boat up, taking the people on board with it.

The ordinary fishermen were so frightened that they lay down on the side of the boat, clinging to whatever was nearby.

They only came to their senses and disembarked when the crane pulled the small boat onto the deck of the 100-meter fishing boat.

"Let's go now!" Jerry said.

"My lord, wait! We can't set off yet! We haven't offered sacrifices to the sea god; it would be dangerous to leave!"

"No need, let's set off immediately!"

"My lord, my lord!"

Now that they were already on the ship, Jerry didn't care whether they worshipped the sea god or not!

Then the fishing boat, which is 100 meters long, began to sail towards the deep sea.

Jerry used his divine sense to search for a place with schools of fish. Following Jerry's guidance, they soon arrived at a place rich in fish resources.

Jerry directly controlled the fishing boat to start casting the nets, precisely controlling the position.

Then, net after net of fish was lifted up by the crane, leaving the ten experienced fishermen stunned. Who fishes like that?

And Jerry caught so many in just a few nets.

"This is just an ordinary fish. Now let's go catch a soul beast."

With one cast, seven or eight redfin tuna were pulled up, struggling in the net.

"A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast! This is a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast!" a fisherman exclaimed.

"Activate the power grid!" Jerry said.

With a series of crackling sounds, the soul beast in the fishing net was electrocuted and its soul ring was pulled out.

"This fishing net has this function too! We won't be afraid of encountering spirit beasts anymore!"

"yes!"

The ten fishermen began to discuss it.

"Next, we'll test the storm. Which area has the most turbulent water?" Jerry asked the fishermen.

None of them dared to reply, and one of the fishermen pointed in a direction.

Then Jerry immediately changed direction and headed towards the storm, speeding away.

Jerry's action terrified many people, including the city lord.

He knew about the storm zone; even Soul Masters were useless there.

"Lord Jerry, the storm zone is quite dangerous. We've tested the others and the results were excellent, so let's skip testing this one!" the city lord said.

"This needs to be tested. The weather at sea is unpredictable, and we could encounter severe weather at any time. If we don't test it, what will we do if we encounter it later?"

Upon arriving in the storm area, we encountered torrential rain and howling winds, with waves crashing one after another on the water's surface.

However, at this moment, the 100-meter fishing boat activated a barrier, blocking out all the wind and rain.

A huge wave crashed in, but the ship remained perfectly stable without any problems.

Seeing this, everyone on the boat felt relieved. The fishermen even thought about how many fish they could catch each time they went out to sea if they had such a safe boat.

Next, Jerry showed them the attack methods of the fishing boat, which they needed to know, since there were still many pirates at sea.

In addition to protecting themselves from bad weather, fishermen often have to guard against pirates.

After all the tests were completed, they returned to base.

Jerry also arranged for people to build a dock, and the news of the 100-meter fishing boat had already spread far and wide. This was the effect Jerry wanted. Once the ten experienced fishermen returned, they would definitely spread the news.

After a while, Jerry released more items, including small fishing boats and diving suits.

For a time, everyone rushed to buy them, and after the purchase, many fishermen stopped worshipping the sea god.

With better fishing equipment, and Jerry not restricting their fishing and buying up as much as they could, the number of fish near the coast quickly decreased.

Now everyone has to go to deeper waters to fish. Because fishing is very profitable, many people from other industries have switched to fishing, and several nearby cities have followed suit after hearing the news.

Spirit world

For some reason, the sea god's faith power has decreased significantly lately.

Poseidon Island

"There are far fewer people coming to the island to trade goods lately!"

"That's absolutely true. If this continues, won't we have to go to the mainland to buy supplies in the future?"

"If it weren't for Jerry, would we need to buy so many supplies?"

"Don't talk about him anymore. Whenever I hear him, I feel like nothing good is coming out of it."

Hanhai City

Because of the Spirit Hall's large-scale purchases, many fishermen no longer need to look for other sales channels. Moreover, the Spirit Hall's purchases are convenient; they can wait at the seaside every day without having to transport the fish themselves.

The Spirit Hall is now not only buying fish products, but also plants such as kelp. It can be said that the coastal areas have been fished out of everything.

Jerry also opened several sea salt processing plants by the sea and hired many workers. If others wanted to do the same, Jerry would provide his technology as equity.

Salt is very important to everyone. Now that a sea salt factory is being built, the inland areas will no longer lack salt.

However, several pirate incidents have occurred recently, but because Jerry's ships were used, no problems arose, which has led to more people buying Jerry's ships.

Many people don't have enough funds, so Jerry also offers installment payment options. Fishermen who previously lacked funds no longer hesitate to buy boats on installment. Once they have the boats, the funds are just a matter of time.

Because of the pirate problem, Jerry personally organized a fleet to annihilate the pirates.

Hearing the news, the nearby pirates banded together to fight against Jerry.

Jerry initially thought it would be troublesome to search for them one by one, but now that they've teamed up, it's saved him a lot of trouble.

After several bombing raids, not a single intact pirate ship could be seen on the sea anymore.

Jerry showed no mercy to the pirates and immediately ordered their complete annihilation.

However, among these pirates, they discovered one person: Purple Pearl, the leader of the Purple Pearl Pirate Crew.

Jerry has access to all the information about the Spirit Hall, including Purple Pearl, the former Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.

The leader of the expedition that attacked Poseidon Island disappeared after the attack failed.

Jerry knew, however, that she had lost her memory and that's why she became a pirate. Even with amnesia, she was no less capable than others and rose directly to become a pirate captain.

However, she is in a sorry state now, having been hit by artillery fire and is now unconscious.

Jerry arranged a separate place for her to stay and had someone look after her so she could recover from her injuries.

News of Jerry's victory over the pirates spread that very day.

This was met with widespread approval, and people from nearby areas flocked to coastal cities.

Because Hanhai City belongs to the Tiandou Empire, the policies of the Tiandou Empire have been gradually improved over this period of time, and have slowly spread from Tiandou City to the surrounding cities.

The cultivation plaza in Hanhai City has been completed.

Many Soul Masters came to the square to cultivate, and seeing Jerry's statue standing in the middle of the square, they all came over to take a look.

During this period of time, the people of Hanhai City basically knew about Jerry's deeds, so as soon as the training square was completed, regardless of whether they were Soul Masters or not, they all came to pray.

So now nobody worships the sea god anymore. With Jerry, who can bring them something tangible, why would they need to worship such an ethereal god as the sea god?

As more and more cultivation plazas were put into use, Jerry's sea of ​​consciousness saw a significant increase in the number of star-like spheres.

These stars illuminated the entire sea of ​​consciousness; it was almost time to reap the power of faith.

With a single thought from Jerry, all the stars offered their faith.

Jerry's entire body was already energized, and now that energy has been multiplied several times over. Furthermore, the power of faith has strengthened Jerry's dantian space, which is now about five hundred times the size of an ordinary person's.

Jerry was completely bewildered. He couldn't control this enhancement of faith power and could only watch helplessly as it expanded his dantian space step by step.

"Are you trying to kill me? This dantian is huge! When will it ever be filled?" Jerry was very frustrated.

After expanding the dantian, some faith power was directly integrated into one's soul.

Previously, my soul had always resided in my sea of ​​consciousness, and it had long since solidified.

As the power of faith strengthened, his soul began to change until he became a person exactly like Jerry. If he weren't a little young now, people would believe he was Jerry's twin brother.

Is this the soul becoming materialized?

Jerry sensed that his divine sense used to cover about one-third of the Douluo Continent, but now it was only about one-half.

As the soul materialized, the entire sea of ​​consciousness also underwent changes.

This place is now starting to feel like a separate space.

Sea, land, sky, stars.

However, at this point, the power of faith was finally exhausted; otherwise, Jerry felt it could have transformed its sea of ​​consciousness into a new continent.
