From the mouth of the traveling merchant Ye Rang Qin Ke, Lu Ning finally learned some information about this world.

First of all, this is not a wild planet with no people.

There are aborigines in this world!

However, the level of civilization of these aborigines is not very high - according to Ye Rang Qinke's description, it seems that they are only at a level of civilization similar to that of primitive tribes.

And the largest tribe in this neighborhood is the "Wind Sending Tribe".

This is a tribe formed by the gods themselves—at least that's what Ye Rang Qinke said.

"Gods?"

Lu Ning was very interested in this god.

"Yes. That is our great faith, and we call Him 'the God of Abundance.'"

Ye Rang Qin Ke replied.

Lu Ning let Ye let Qin Ke tell what he knew and learned.

"There are seven righteous gods and three great gods in this world.

"It is said that there is a 'god of canons' above them, but we ordinary people don't know it."

Pawn ...... Could it be the "warden"?

Lu Ning guessed in his heart, but he was not sure.

Such vague speculations should not remain in the mind until there is solid evidence.

But apart from a few names, Ye Rang Qin Ke had very limited knowledge about these gods.

"Don't talk about the gods, talk about yourself and your tribe."

Lu Ning changed the subject.

"The job of us traveling merchants is to move from camp to camp at regular intervals, selling goods.

"Merchandise is supplied directly from the temples of the tribe. Any resources we earn on this trip are our own, and the temple does not charge taxes. I've been doing this for more than a decade. ”

Hearing this, Lu Ning interjected: "You said that you traveling merchants do business in various places every once in a while? Are they all camps like mine here? ”

"Yes...... It's not," Ye Rang Qin Ke hesitated for a moment, "To be honest, benefactor, this is the place that looks most like a 'camp' I've ever seen. Generally speaking, the places we go to can be regarded as poor and backwood, and the owners there have basically no resources to exchange with us.

"We don't actually make much money on this trip, but because we don't need capital, there are still many people who are willing to earn this hard-earned money.

"Of course, there are occasional times of good luck, such as when the other party trades a gem of high value for a little food that they find.

"There are also camps where the owners are stronger and can exchange a lot of prey for other necessities.

"It's just a camp like your benefactor, well-equipped, like a small tribe...... I've never seen it before, and I've never heard anyone else say it. ”

Ye Rang Qin Ke said with admiration.

But Lu Ning had some questions.

"You're saying that every once in a while, there is such a business?"

"Yes." Ye Rang Qin Ke replied affirmatively.

"What about the interval?"

"There are long and short...... Ye Rang Qin Ke recalled, "There may be several years when it is long, and there are also months when it is short." ”

"The same place, the same people, every time?"

"Not necessarily." Ye Rang Qin Ke replied, "The route of our business is issued by the priests of the temple, and each person's route is different, and we don't know which camp we will go to. But sometimes you do meet people you've met before. Oh, by the way, these people will call themselves 'survivors'. ”

Lu Ning's heart was filled with huge waves.

This passage taught him a lot of puzzling truths.

First...... Lu Ning and the others didn't seem to be the first people to be caught in this world by the warden.

They were destroyed because of the destruction of the Blue Starfish, and the people of the entire planet were transferred here by the warden and started their lives again.

So what about before?

Is it a predecessor from the Blue Starfish, or someone from another civilization?

Is their home planet also destroyed?

Think about it further, why does the warden save these people every time?

Also, these "priests" mentioned by Ye Rang Qinke seem to be very aware of the existence of these outsiders.

They even offered to provide supplies, and let the merchants trade with them regardless of the return.

What is their purpose?

"Why did those priests know about our existence and help us ......?"

Lu Ning frowned and deliberately said this sentence out loud.

He wanted to see Ye Rang Qinke's answer.

Originally, he thought he would hear something like "The priest has received a revelation from the gods."

Unexpectedly, Ye Rang Qin Ke said very naturally: "This, you don't know the benefactor - in fact, the ancestors of our city were formed by survivors like you. ”

"Huh?"

Lu Ning really didn't expect to hear such a reply.

"The priests in the temple may know the specifics, but we don't know...... But everybody says that's what it's all about—

"It is said that survivors are people chosen by the gods from other worlds to be tested in sparsely populated parts of this world. And the original survivors survived, establishing tribes and cities.

"Later survivors are naturally potential residents......

"I guess that's one of the reasons why the priests are concerned about the survivors...... Among our urban tribes, population is a very important thing. It is a matter of course that a tribe with a large population is strong, and a tribe with a small population is weak. ”

Lu Ning nodded.

It's really easy to understand.

"And where is the camp for survivors...... It is estimated that it has also been handed down from that time.

"However, the camp of the survivors is usually very far away from the tribe, and the road is very dangerous, and we need to rely on many miracles to get here."

"Miracles?"

Lu Ning was curious.

"Yes, a miracle is a miracle from the gods. The gods have given us shelter so that we can travel from camp to camp across long distances. ”

"And then you're bitten by a monster?" Lu Ning looked strange.

"This ...... This is something I didn't pay attention to myself. But miracles exist! ”

Ye made Qin Ke's face flush, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry.

"Benefactor, look...... My car is sheltered by miracles! ”

Lu Ning followed Ye Rang Qin Ke to his wooden cart.

Lu Ning hugged his shoulders to see what the miracle the other party was talking about.

Soon his eyes widened.

Ye asked Qin Ke to press it somewhere in the car, and then ......

The car swayed, and gusts of wind converged on the body.

Ye asked Qin Ke to step forward and easily pushed the wooden cart full of materials effortlessly.

"Behold, benefactor—this is the miracle: the hand of fortune."

Ye Rang Qin Ke said.

However, Lu Ning did not hear his words.

Lu Ning stared at the wooden cart.

Miracles of bullshit.

He was all too familiar with the effect.

It's void energy!

This wooden car has the nature of virtual energy!

And it is artificially controllable, realizing the virtual nature of man-made things!

Isn't this the "method of using virtual energy" that I've been trying to find all along!?
