Chapter 166

When Sui Xiong heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

On Earth, there is a group of do-gooders who annually award a "Darwin Prize" to those who have "destroyed themselves by stupid means and made a profound contribution to human evolution (Darwin's theory)."

To put it simply, "This thing is really stupid, not a low IQ, but stupid! He died stupidly, and it is very good for raising the average IQ of mankind...... Well, roughly speaking.

Sui Xiong remembered that he had read a collated record, and the people who won the Darwin Prize over the years were different, but all in all, they all made people feel that the death of this thing will help improve the IQ of human beings!

For example, there is a skydiving instructor who emphasizes to the students the safety essentials that must be paid attention to in skydiving, probably when he stresses that "you must carry your parachute bag anyway, otherwise you will fall to your death", and jumped off the plane in order to prove that he was right.

For example, there is a person's sister who stepped on a power line and was electrocuted. When the man explained the incident to his neighbors, he also demonstrated the scene himself, and he also stepped barefoot on the end of the unprotected wire.

Let's say a guy who wants to prove to visitors that the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of his office are sturdy jumps up and crashes into it — his office is on the 24th floor, and the window is on the bustling street — well, over the street.

For example, if a gambler plays the infamous game of "Russian roulette" with someone else, the common practice is to find a revolver with only one bullet in the gun, and then turn the drum several times, and everyone takes turns to shoot at themselves. What he did was get an automatic pistol and bang it on his head...... Maybe it's just a bang, after all, he only has one head.

One of Sui Xiong's most memorable examples was a thief who tried to steal the oil inside the tank by inserting a plastic pipe into the fuel tank of a car and sucking out gasoline with his mouth. However, he found a cleaning truck and inserted a plastic pipe into the place where the fecal water was stored – and he died of poisoning.

All in all, these guys provided people with a lot of catalpa warnings and jokes, and Sui Xiong was overjoyed when he remembered their deeds.

Now, there's one more person in the ranks.

Sui Xiong thinks that if the "Darwin Award" is also held in this world, this year's Darwin Award will definitely be the god of rain!

He told his friends what he thought as a story, and everyone laughed and laughed so happily.

In any case, the very fact of "stupid death" is enough to make people happy.

However, the joy did not last long, and after only a month or two, problems arose.

With the fall of the god of rain, the vow of the god of drought was no longer resisted, and the rain in the entire main plane began to decrease significantly, as if it were a sign of a dry season.

This worries mortals, too much rain is not good, but drought is even more terrible. Especially this year's drought has not been eased by the god of rain, I don't know how strong it will be!

From the New Year to the spring snowmelt, there were only two rains in the northern part of the entire main plane, and they were not heavy. There was a little more rain in the south, and it rained three or four times, but compared with previous years, it was too little.

Then, the spring ploughing season arrived.

On Earth, there is a saying that "spring rain is as expensive as oil", which means that crops need rain when they are planted in spring. Although there is no such proverb in this world, there is a similar proverb with a similar meaning.

And this year, this spring rain, which is as expensive as oil, is really like oil, and it is pitiful.

After the end of the spring planting season, there was also a rain in the northern region, a light rain, which lasted for about an afternoon, covering less than a third of the continent.

There are not many rivers in the north of the main plane, and in general there is a slight drought - this can be seen from the fact that there are large Gobi and steppes in the north. Now that there is no rain, the drought situation has suddenly been greatly exacerbated.

The place on the side of the mountain is a little better, after all, there is snow in the mountains, but the situation in the plains and hilly areas is getting worse.

The south wins in more rivers and lakes, and the foundation is quite thick. Even if it doesn't rain much, you can rely on artificial water to fight the drought, and the situation is not so severe

But none of the southern lords can rest assured - God knows how long the drought will last! If it lasts too long, the south will not be able to bear it!

Don't forget, the climate in the south is hot, and the water in the fields evaporates quickly. Moreover, the crops in the south are all large water users, and there is no shortage of water!

However, the development of events will not change with people's expectations.

Spring is followed by summer, and as the climate gets hotter, the drought intensifies.

In many parts of the north, vegetation is drying up. The farmers tried their best to save even a drop of water, but they could not rejuvenate the crops in the fields, and the once vast green prairie has even seen large areas of withered yellow.

The situation in the south is not so dire, but farmers who are tired of collecting water are already everywhere, and many lords even go into battle in armor and lead their armies to guard the water sources of their territories, ready to fight any enemy who dares to peek at their own water sources, and defend this water of life with their blood.

In this situation, the good gods could not sit still, and they sent oracles one after another, asking their clergy to help with all their might. Many good gods have even descended into incarnations, opening the door to the water elemental plane with their divine powers, introducing the rolling torrent into the human sky, turning into rain and raining down to moisten the earth.

At first glance, it seemed effective, but after only a few days, they had to stop.

The Lord of Order has spoken, and the gods are not allowed to interfere too much with the natural environment of the main plane.

He said that once in a while one or two gods blew a wind or rain, and that it was okay, and that it was okay to have an earthquake, a landslide, a volcano or something. But hundreds of gods worked together to frantically draw water from the water elemental plane to bring rain to the world, and this crossed the line!

Especially criticized is the orc god system, because the orc grassland is vast, so the orc god system has done its best, hundreds of gods incarnate in the sky like a big net, one by one to open the plane channel, connecting the water element plane with the main plane, is hula la pouring rain towards the prairie.

Being so criticized by the Lord of Order, the gods were suddenly silent, and not even one of them dared to give rain to the world again.

As a result, the drought situation, which had been temporarily eased, worsened again, and ...... It's worse than before!
