"Look at the artistic conception of this historical mark..."

Lu Yuan closed his eyes and meditated for three hours before he faintly peeked into a scene.

On the wide dome of the main hall, there were three hundred and sixty esoteric chandeliers hanging. Each lampshade was made of a skull of a certain type of fish, and the wick burned with the never-ending mermaid fish oil.

The small piece of mitral in his hand was part of the chandelier.

Under a bright light, a grand banquet was held as scheduled.

Patenon Civilized Song and Dance Party!

This race looks a bit similar to that of humans. It has long hands and feet, wearing red or brown tuxedoes, walking upright. The only difference is that it has three eyes on its forehead, which looks majestic and quite chic.

And at that banquet, there were begging and flowers everywhere, the sound of the piano was pleasant and the singing was pleasant.

"The two families are married, the newlyweds, the beautiful and talented man, and the heaven is a couple."

"Let us wish them a happy marriage!"

The sound in my ears was very blurry, as if it was the sound of the emcee?

Lu Yuan was not sure. He felt the charm of foreign civilization with great interest, and he was a little confused. Why is a wedding qualified to be recorded in history?

"Oh, this meal is very hearty, fish, shrimp, pastries, meat..."

"There are some aliens... Oh, why are there dwarves? Pastry from the Eighth Era?"

Immediately afterwards, he heard a "bang" sound, and the sound of glass breaking came from the east, and the blushed groom fell to the ground.

A panic scream and wail sounded in the venue.

"Enemy attack, glyph bullet!"

"Protect your sir!"

The groom was shot in the back, and blood splattered like a spring.

A guy in black dress had a twisted face and roared with claws: "She is mine! Don't even think about it!"

"Bang bang bang!"

With this gunshot, Lu Yuan was popped up with a "mark of history" and he did not come back to his senses for a long time.

He complained laughably: "Hiss... It turned out to be a love killing."

I felt something was wrong again, so I took out a "crystal computer". This crystal computer was given to him by the dwarfs, and it recorded a lot of historical highlights.

[Paton civilization was a civilization with great potential in the North in the Eighth Era.]

The second-level article clearly shows that it is actually of grade.

[They built the Sky City and wanted to integrate the human race in the northern border and form a political and military alliance. The simplest way is naturally political marriage.]

[But for some reason, the whole plan completely failed.]

"Oh, that might not be a love kill, but a political conspiracy?"

Lu Yuan shook his head, and described the scene he had seen to Miss Conch.

"So you can create legendary equipment again?" The girl was not interested in politics and raised her curved eyebrows. "Can a mark of history create a legend?"

"No, it's not." Lu Yuan shook his head, "This kind of emotional killing is too strange. I don't have this kind of life experience at all. What did you let me create?"

"If you really experience love killing, can you create it?" Conch laughed, "Or we have fun in a dream?"

Lu Yuan was still very serious at the moment: "No. I was able to create a shelter area because I really had similar experiences. I have experienced how difficult my life was before. I personally experienced it and have the ability to empathize with it."

"And I can only read a story for this historical mark of Mitsunian at most."

"Even if you forcefully create a work, its purpose will become very niche and a waste of inspiration."

He paused for a moment and put away the Mithrilian: "But... it is still beneficial to collect more historical marks."

"Maybe it will be useful in the future?"

The two stayed at Patenon's ruins for three days, and finally found a small piece of "mitosilver", a few ore in the rat hole, and a few stone tablets with ancient characters.

The rest is nothing.

But it’s considered satisfying, and it’s better to have a reward than not.

"Leave, next destination."

...

This kind of trip is quite interesting for both of them, and it is a long holiday for their long and busy life.

There are not many dangers along the way. The "Greedy Demon God" is too powerful. Whether it is a cold wave, a blizzard, avalanche, or a roadblock, it will not have much impact.

The only small risk was that Lu Yuan encountered a hungry "unicorn bear" in a human state.

The bear followed them for a long time.

Finally, Miss Conch was fed a few pieces of meat and then tamed through the "animal affinity" ability.

"Aoao!" Lao Lang roared dissatisfiedly.

In the end, the two did not accept the "unicorn bear" as a pet, but released it in nature.

They even encountered an extreme cold wave, where the greedy demon was frozen outside, while Lu Yuan and Conch were eating hot pot in the space capsule, and when they were bored, they played some adult games.

"I'll tell you, it's still good to bring a nuclear power plant. Look at this abundant electricity."

"Squeak!"

"Ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao ao" the old wolf kept barking at the new little mouse.

"I'm still jealous, doggy thing."

After the cold wave, the greedy demon god Huang continued to move, and he could reach the next civilization in just one or two days, and it took not long on the road.

Take a quick trip around the local area for a day or two, give some small gifts, show off your talents, or taste local delicacies, and trade small items.

If you can find extraordinary items with "historical marks", it is naturally the best.

If not, it is acceptable.

As the reputation of human beings gradually spread, most civilizations are polite to them. Occasionally, there are some uncivilized races, with curious and greedy eyes, pointing at them privately, but

Don't dare to take action.

Another time, I even encountered a group of green-skinned wandering goblins!

The goblin species is known for its amazing reproductive ability. Their cities cannot feed too much of their population, so this wandering pattern has evolved.

Lu Yuan was not polite either. He held a gift in one hand and a machine gun in the other, and there were a row of Gatling bullet magazines hanging on his body.

"You can sell anything and buy anything! Do you want this machine gun?"

"Tututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututututu

The bullets shot on the snow, frightening the goblins and fleeing one by one.

...

...

So after experiencing a simple trip to eight civilizations, Lu Yuan once again came to an interesting social conclusion.

"A civilization with specialties and stable output is often not too strong. For example, the snow sheep clan and the yak clan... have specialties, but they live very poorly."

"On the contrary, civilizations without special specialties have a higher probability of becoming a powerful race."

This is a very strange thing they discovered. Is there a saying of "resource curse" for civilization?

Miss Conch added: "But it is not good to be too remote and too barren. The lack of innate resources brings too much constraints."

"In this way, the environment cannot be too good or too bad, and the specialty products cannot be too good, but they cannot be without it. Is there a high probability that such a civilization will become a strong man?"

A keyword appeared in Lu Yuan's heart - "Dominant Mean".

Mean is not mediocrity.

The doctrine of the mean is the spiral image of snow-shaping among the snowflakes falling from the sky, always following the pattern of the hexagonal star, unbiased.

In the ruins of ancient times, the spacing of the pillars follows the golden ratio.

In the microscopic world of quantum mechanics, the movement trajectory of particles always dances in the superposition of waves and particles.

These seemingly opposing perfect balances are the world's deepest interpretation of "moderateness" - it is not a mediocre compromise, but the universal wisdom of the world.

"What a pity, how difficult is it to be impartial?"

In this way, after two months of travel, the greedy demon gradually came to the northern continent.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the number of civilizations has decreased significantly.

In the end, only the Tengyue clan with thick fur lived in the last geothermal area.

This is a very hardworking species. By collecting "mushrooms" grown in methane lakes, they gradually become rich.

The thick fur and unique appearance make them look like giant pandas 2 meters tall!

Of course, the extraordinary world is still a little different from the normal world.

Their wide bear paws and developed muscles have amazing bounce ability, so they are called the "Tengyue Clan".

"This is... Grand Master Lu?! How could he come here?" The Tengyue clan is also a relatively powerful civilization and well-informed.

Lu Yuan has finally been recognized after experiencing so many civilizations.

"Really?" These nobles compared his appearance and almost glared out their eyes in surprise!

"I'm absolutely right."

He hurried out of the door and greeted him in person.

"Don't be nervous, we have been traveling for two months and have passed by 8 civilizations. Just treat us as ordinary businessmen."

Merchant, how is that possible? If you have a little accident, maybe humans will come here the next day!

The panda man looked at the conch lady, stared at the grass ring on her head for a while: "What is this?"

"This is my wife, who took her to travel around the mountains and rivers, and sought inspiration for craftsmen. She passed by here and came to visit her."

As a result, these panda people were even more frightened. Isn’t this the legendary green queen?

She is quite cute and looks very young - even with the eyes of a bear.

"I really have to worry about all my friends receiving it personally. This is a gift to all friends." Lu Yuan bowed and sent two pomegranate fruits and three pear fruits.

"Where is it, Mr. Lu is really a free and easy person. In order to pursue inspiration, he does something that ordinary people dare not do." The elder of the Tengyue clan, who was the leader, accepted these gifts very politely.

"Uh where are you going? Do you need soldiers to escort? Our leader is still in the Green Fairy Trading Market... He is so happy that he doesn't want to come back."

But I thought in my heart that humans were too bold and actually released the Grand Master and ran around! I also released the Green Queen!

It's simply a mentally ill civilization.

What if you are kidnapped by those bandits and robbers? Those robbers are too lazy to investigate your identities.

He even couldn't help but feel the idea of ​​"locking the other party into a small black room and forging it hard for me."

A legend earns 1,000 spiritual charm, not a small number.

However, the idea just started to sprout and was forcibly extinguished.

Just kidding, can people come here without any guarantee?

If you dare to kidnap your vote, you might take out the mythical weapon in the next second.

"Come here, please! The weather here is too cold, haha, please don't be surprised."

As the northernmost city, the Tengyue tribe, even in the geothermal zone, has a year-round temperature of nearly minus fifty degrees Celsius, and the ground is as hard as steel.

In order to resist the severe cold, the panda people dug huge deep pits, buried the buildings deep underground, and relied on geothermal energy to keep warm.

The popularity here is quite strong. Lu Yuan saw a simple trading market with more than a dozen ethnic representatives drinking and negotiating in the tavern.

The video in the Light and Shadow Stone shines on the screen, showing the gambling scene that day. The little mirage dragon fights the Yinlin Beast, which is really untiring to watch.

Someone is actually playing with your phone?

Everyone was wearing very thick clothes, and they were wrapped like rice dumplings.

Most of the people they sell are food, leather, plush and other daily necessities, and the transactions of extraordinary items are relatively rare. It is normal that most races are now considering survival issues, and only by solving survival can they develop.

There are even some technological products delivered from humans!

The Tengyue tribe has been a second-hand dealer. Obviously, human carbon nanosuits and solar panels are very popular here.

Some craftsmen heard about Lu Yuan’s arrival and hurried over to witness the style of the Grandmaster. These guys were like star-chasing people, and they were extremely fanatical.

"Master, it's really you!"

"We've seen your image from the light and shadow stone."

"A legendary masterpiece...I will come and see it myself one day!"

According to the basic etiquette of craftsmen's communication, they delivered their proud forging items and asked Lu Yuan to comment.

In theory, if the levels are too different, guiding novices is a waste of time.

From Lu Yuan's perspective, these items are useless except enthusiasm.

But when they came, Lu Yuan made an appointment with them for a few hours to communicate: "No race or number of people, please arrange a place. It's not too late today, so tomorrow."

The panda people were immediately overjoyed and were ready to learn something.

Conch whispered in telepathy: "Now is vanity full of energy? Isn't it rejection of being recognized by others?"

"Hey, we took a leave ourselves, and we didn't sneak out."

"In this world... the name is very important." Lu Yuan replied, "The greedy demon god cannot be easily exposed. But it is nothing if I, Lu Yuan, is famous at all. In the future, it will not be easy to be erased by the concept."

"That's the case." Conch agreed.

Seeing that the two of them were not talking, the nobleman started chatting on his own: "Many races here are relatively weak and do not have the ability to cross tens of thousands of kilometers to go to your trading market."

"So we became second-dea dealers once, and we didn't make much money, and we only had a 20% profit."

"Not to say, it's quite a popular seller, haha..." He took a selfie with his generous bear paw.

"It's not a big problem." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "If the transaction scale can be expanded here and you can actually apply for a 'strategic partnership', we will specially send a floating fortress to transport supplies regularly. We can also help with construction.

Communication equipment.”

"We have reached a strategic cooperative relationship with the dwarf tribe, the Hongxiang tribe, and the Changmao tribe. The world is so big, common development is the way to make the cake bigger."

"You are so broad-minded... willing to give us the profits." The Panda Man said in amazement.

"Not that, on our former planet... this route has proven to be able to work."

Humans do not exclude other races from making money by being second-trade dealers.

This is like the major groups on the earth, and large companies like Coca-Cola, whose trade volume is not much directed to consumers.

Small supermarkets everywhere, small shops are the real moat, because small shops often represent acquaintance networks and private domain traffic.

The situation in the North is similar. If you are used to using human goods, it will not be easy to replace it; if you are used to using human industrial standards and using various software and hardware, it will be even more difficult to change it.

Therefore, when humans are insufficient in the number of floating fortresses, they choose several peace-loving races to establish trade channels and quickly promote goods.

After hearing Lu Yuan say this, the nobles were obviously relieved and thought silently about the pros and cons of "strategic partners".

"By the way, this is our latest Crystal Energy TV, which is given to you as a gift."

The TV is naturally a good thing, and these long-legged bears took it happily.

A wonderful meal was also served. In addition to mushrooms, cold-water fish are also abundant here.

There is a sea of ​​icebergs nearby, and life always finds its own way out.

At the bottom of that deep sea, it is a huge geothermal area, so there are a large number of fish.

It’s all like this to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat the water.

"The day here seems to be very long." Lu Yuan took a bite of the fish meat. The burnt fragrance of the fish skin formed a perfect contrast with the tenderness of the fish meat. The outer skin was slightly crispy, and it made a slight "click" sound when biting.

He pointed to the slanted sun, "Is there a phenomenon of extreme day and night in the north?"

"Yes, it's not quite the same as outside the country." The nobleman replied.

"There are about 20 hours a day during the day and 4 hours a night. The northward, the longer the day is, until the full day is.

"But when we reach a certain critical point, the daytime will gradually decrease. Whether there will be extreme nights in the north is not something we can detect."

"In short, even if the sunlight is weak, solar energy is still relatively stable. With the blessing of your civilization, we have stabilized planting of high yields through sunlights, greenhouses and spiritual plant fields."

"In less than two years, the food problems of most surrounding races will be solved!"

These guys are so excited when they talk about this.

"By the way, how long do you want to stay here, and do you need to gather leaders of the surrounding races? We have been in business for many years and some people want it."

"No need to be so troublesome. We are just here to travel, not to talk about too much politics." Lu Yuan waved his hand quickly, "We also want to go to the farther north to see. It is said that the environment there is strange and unique scenery."

"Do you have a corresponding geographical map here?"

These furry guys were all a little disappointed.

It would be a good thing for them to stay here for one more second.

As for the map, although it is the foundation they have explored for many years, the face of the great master must be given.

After careful discussion, they gave a relatively simple map.

There are various geographical markers, mountains, canyons, places where avalanches are prone to occur, and the famous methane lake!

"Another three thousand kilometers north, there is a huge mountain range called the Northern Plateau, which is the limit of freezing that we can tolerate."

“That mountain actually blocks a lot of cold air, so you can’t move forward once you arrive at that mountain.”

"This liaison is given to you. If something happens, you can call us at any time."

They repeatedly reminded me, for fear that this great master would give his life to pursue inspiration.

When humans declare war on them, it will be a big problem!

Lu Yuan also saw their thoughts and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality. So I will stay here for a while and communicate with all the craftsmen."

...

...

Lu Yuan stayed for a total of seven days, five more days than expected.

He has a good impression of these gentle furry creatures - perhaps appearance is the world's number one productivity, these fat bears feed on vegetarian food and fish, and are really similar to giant pandas!

He stayed for a while to teach local craftsmen.

Unfortunately, "field industrialization" is too difficult. Even if he does his best to guide him, no one can touch the threshold of the "spiritual plant field".

"Hey, you'd better go to the Craftsman University to study again... It's so different..."

But no matter what, the craftsmen are grateful enough...at least they have seen how the cutting-edge craftsmen think about problems and pursue the road ahead.

Especially when Lu Yuan was about to go to the "Northern Langma", the craftsmen all felt a sense of following in their hearts - in order to pursue inspiration, a master with such high attainments could actually risk his life.

Go to challenge the dangerous places in nature!

In comparison, these little shrimps are still lying in the base camp and enjoying the rich and luxurious food!

This spirit of great adventure is worth promoting!

Lu Yuan’s visit invisibly created a tradition: when many craftsmen lack inspiration, they would climb the harsh "Northern Langma"!

"When we face the cold wind and frost, escape the disastrous avalanche, and climb to the highest peak step by step, we can see a farther sky." Occasionally, the older generation of craftsmen will tell the new generation of craftsmen that they are told by themselves.

A randomly fabricated story.
