Chapter 616 417: Clues and Omens—My Hometown Is Called Earth
There will definitely be new sparks ignited.
Zong Shen contemplated silently. Based on the lord's descent situation, there won't be any major changes in the coming year or half.
During this period, Zong Shen must make every effort to establish good relations with some indigenous forces.
At the same time, develop the territory to the Bang State level.
Only in this way will there be sufficient confidence and assurance to cope with the potential major changes in the future.
After some quiet reasoning, the feeling of grasping the threads made him feel much better.
Although the guide module is convenient and labor-saving, it can provide answers as long as there are some clues.
But for some things, he trusts his own mind more.
The plugin is ultimately an external tool, only useful as an instrument and not as a dependence.
Therefore, he must keep his thinking active at all times.
Most of the decisions regarding the territory he does not consult the guide module.
Relying entirely on his own step-by-step exploration, this is a way of honing his abilities.
He doesn't want to become a "puppet" entirely guided by the strategy.
So he uses the guide module only for information, rarely letting it make decisions and plans for him.
He put away these heavy thoughts.
Zong Shen walked through the snow himself, leading a pregnant cow into the pasture.
Because the prairie cattle, dairy cows, and sheep belonging to him are all huddled together, there was still a lot of internal space.
Zong Shen led them to another spot, as far as possible from the warm stove.
To prevent them from feeling uncomfortable due to the high temperature.
This contradictory situation made Zong Shen feel a bit embarrassed himself.
After handling these cows, he left the [Basic-level Pasture].
He sat in the Burden-Bearer Mecha and headed straight outside the Lord's Courtyard.
After parking the Burden-Bearer Mecha steadily, he reached out and stored it away.
He walked the path repeatedly trodden upon and returned to the Lord's Small Tower.
In the hall, the magic energy pendant lamp equipped by the City Lord's Mansion was emitting a warm yellow light.
Luna, Wenresa, and Marie were happily chatting at the long table.
An iron pot in the kitchen was steaming on the stove with a "puffing" sound.
It was unclear what exactly was being cooked inside.
Seeing Zong Shen return, the three ladies stood up simultaneously and bowed to him in greeting.
Marie and Wenresa voluntarily moved toward the kitchen, turning off the stove and fetching the utensils.
The pot contained a whole pot of thick tomato soup.
Inside were diced beef, along with carrots and tomatoes.
As soon as the lid was lifted, a rich sweet and sour aroma permeated the air.
Tonight's menu was a bowl of thick tomato soup for each person.
Accompanied by Boss Bang's military ration biscuits.
The four of them sat quietly at the long table.
Only the faint chewing and sipping sounds prevented the dining room from becoming too quiet.
Zong Shen also didn't speak, silently spooning the soup into his mouth.
He was not in the habit of chatting while eating.
Except when attending those banquets, of course.
Every few sips of soup, he would take a big bite of a biscuit.
Chewing it into pieces with the taste of the tomato soup, and then swallowing.
"The tomato soup is quite good."
"But unfortunately, it can't compare to the cuisine of my homeland."
Zong Shen quickly devoured his meal.
To him, eating is a very simple replenishing process.
When he set down the soup bowl, he suddenly remarked a bit wistfully.
"Today's tomato soup was made by Sister Luna..."
"I also helped in preparing the ingredients..."
Marie said softly while sitting beside him.
Not perceiving the sentiment in Zong Shen's words.
Zong Shen merely smiled gently.
At this moment, Luna also gently placed down her bowl.
She astutely captured the keyword in Zong Shen's words.
Which was, homeland!
"Sir, where is your homeland?"
"According to the information I received after being unsealed."
"The Chosen Ones are people selected by destiny."
"They come from other worlds."
Luna said slowly, having pledged loyalty to Zong Shen.
Her status changed from that of an indigenous person to that of a subject.
She received some peculiar information among them.
Informing her that the lord is known as The Chosen One.
Because of their close relationship, Luna was also more daring in dialogue with Zong Shen.
Upon hearing Luna's words, Zong Shen slightly tilted his head, and a reminiscent expression appeared on his face.
"I come from a place called Earth."
"It is a world completely different from here."
"Much, much smaller than the Endless Continent."
"People cannot gain powerful combat strength through training."
"Nor do they have magic talent and magic elements."
Zong Shen's words successfully caught the attention of the three women.
Even Wenresa, who had been silent, could not help but open her eyes wide.
"No magic, and unable to train…"
"Then wouldn't people on Earth be like primitives in the wild?"
Wenresa spoke rarely, and accustomed to this world, she found it hard to comprehend the situation Zong Shen described.
Even the fragile Forest Elves rely on casting natural magic to ease their living.
Even the country farmers among humans can gradually become strong by joining the barracks for training.
"We do not need training and magic."
"Because we have technology!"
"Which is science and technology!"
Zong Shen grinned slightly, speaking with a smile.
The expressions of the three women amused him.
"Science and technology?"
"Sounds like something similar to magic energy technology, rune technology, alchemy technology, and engineering."
Marie was the one to speak this time.
Zong Shen turned his head and nodded approvingly.
"Pretty much."
"But Earth's science and technology study the rules of the world."
"From research to utilization, to grasping and creating."
"Of course, for now, we have barely completed the first step and the second step."
He paused briefly when he spoke here.
"We have powerful cannons, missiles, and nuclear weapons."
"Capable of creating supercomputers with computing power comparable to numerous engineers."
"And land tanks that can combat heavy combat puppets."
"Aircraft faster than any flying magical beast."
"We also use electrical energy, which in the context of Earth is as fundamental as magic energy."
"Our most powerful atomic weapons can easily turn giant cities housing tens of millions into ruins."
"Even an epic giant dragon couldn't withstand such destructive power."
Zong Shen spoke with a face of yearning.
As far as he knows, an epic giant dragon indeed could not withstand the destructive power of massive nuclear weapons.
Anything that can intervene in the material world must have commonality.
And unlike other weapons that exist only in concept.
Nuclear weapons have been developing for many years and serve as a deterrent held by major countries.
Once Zong Shen opened up, he couldn't stop.
His words left the three women rather stunned.
Especially the professional warriors Wenresa and Luna, who were quite taken aback by the terrifying nuclear weapons.
Making them question themselves without thinking.
Can mortals really wield the power of gods?
One thing was clear, the presence of deities was generally low in this continent.
The Earth that Zong Shen spoke of intrigued the three women greatly.
And sparked their boundless curiosity.
