Chapter 2196 - 2196 Guaranteed Power!
2196 Guaranteed Power!
If a person never had a certain item of feeling, they would never yearn for it because they did not know what it could do for them.
Although many Rain Masters in the Broiling Rock Continent could not even keep themselves afloat, there were still experts who emerged from the Broiling Rock Continent.
Green Continent City had received aid from an expert 30 years ago.
He had ascertained the positions of all the Rain Masters within Green Continent City and told them to gather together to address the water scarcity issue.
By forbidding people outside of the city walls from entering, it ensured that the water that the city did have could be used to preserve the lives of the city’s residents.
!!
This would give the people outside the city hope and the goal of working toward becoming a Rain Master so they could eventually live within the city.
Furthermore, Green Continent City was also a checkpoint in the Broiling Rock Continent that linked multiple cities. It was a hub for many citizens of the Broiling Rock Continent to gather.
Once a large city disappeared, it could cause a break in the link.
This was a situation that regular people could not understand but that experts took into consideration.
30 years ago, the Rain Master expert had used a certain technique to help Green Continent City to overcome the drought season.
After that expert left, a group of people who had experienced what he had done seemed spellbound. From then on, they often found themselves still marveling and thinking back to that feeling.
In the Broiling Rock Continent, people were considered elderly once they reached 20 years old and above. A person would be considered extremely lucky if they made it to 30 years old.
After all, the yearly switches between the drought and monsoon seasons caused resources to dry up extremely quickly.
The people who had lived through what that Rain Master had done had long left this world, and that mystical feeling had faded into a legend.
It could be said that this refres.h.i.+ngness and comfort resulted in s.h.i.+vers that emanated from their soul outwards.
Many of them finally realized why their predecessors never forgot that feeling even after decades had pa.s.sed.
While bathing in such refreshment, even their outlook on life had changed.
Although the sunlight was as scorching as ever, the lowered temperature caused the burning rays to seem more like a crimson veil. It no longer felt like roasting torture.
Would they be able to handle it if they never got to experience this feeling ever again?
Amidst the refreshment, Peace was dazed momentarily before she placed her hand on her chest and mumbled, “Mr. Leo.”
Next, she patted the shoulder of Pang Luo, who was standing next to her, and said, “Snap out of your daze. If you don’t send people to dig the man-made lakes soon, all the water will go to waste! Hurry up and send all of them into action! Once the eight man-made lakes have been dug out, we can begin expanding Green Continent City.”
Peace spoke loudly and with confidence.
Pang Luo was extremely respectful toward Rain Masters. He was even gentle and kind toward the Rain Masters, who had only contracted the Duck-Mouthed Lungfishes.
But even the most powerful Rain Master felt at least a hint of fear toward Pang Luo.
But in front of Peace, Pang Luo did not care at all that she had robbed him of his speaking authority as the City Lord.
This was because she had created a miracle.
Previously, Peace had intended to position her as the G.o.ddess of Green Continent City and capture the residents’ hearts through her ability to summon rain.
But now, he had sc.r.a.pped that plan because she could already live up to that t.i.tle without his help.
But expanding Green Continent City was not a simple task.
With eight reservoirs, Green Continent City would become the most unique city in the entire Broiling Rock Continent. It could even become a kingdom with more than billions of citizens.
Moreover, Pang Luo felt an increasingly uncontrollable warmth as he looked at the confident Peace, who was walking through the rain while wearing blue.
Pang Luo took a deep breath and immediately started giving out orders.
He mobilized every citizen of Green Continent City. Even children who were only seven or eight years old were tasked with collecting stones from the side of the man-made lake.
Pang Luo even sent out 200 of his personal guards.
The guards’ job was not to build the man-made lake but to fetch the homeless who were sheltered under rocks in the wilderness.
At first, Green Continent City had forbidden these homeless people from entering the city because they had no means of helping them. If too many homeless entered Green Continent City, the water scarcity would worsen, and even the original residents of the city would end up dying of dehydration.
This would definitely throw a wrench into the lives of Green Continent City’s residents.
But now that the water scarcity issue had been resolved and there was more than enough water to go around, Green Continent City had the means of gathering all the homeless in a 50-kilometer radius of the city.
After solving the water scarcity issue, more people meant more labor.
The current number of citizens was insufficient to expand the city and turn Green Continent City into a megacity. More people needed to come to live in the city to help with the building process.
Peace stood by the edge of the lake like a G.o.ddess while the Water-Drawing Heat Roly Poly gobbled up as much power as it wanted while spreading that refres.h.i.+ng feeling in all directions.
This event was unprecedented in Green Continent City, where it was hot all year round.
Before the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting began, three man-made lakes had been filled.
Lin Yuan sat on the Leo throne and marveled at Peace’s achievements over the past two weeks.
Although Peace could not match up to Yin Lin’s background, nor did she have the attention of the Spirit Mother like Bu Po did and was a reserve disciple, she also had her own advantage by remaining in Green Continent City, which was that she had the authority for the final say.
Right before the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting ended, Lin Yuan fell silent.
He realized that the plans he had laid out had benefited Ta Lei and Su Yiren. With his advice, they had managed to increase their power.
But Yin Lin, Wo Lun, and Bei Xu focused more on expanding their factions than increasing their own power.
This would be beneficial for the Astronomical Parliament’s long-term development.
“Everyone, pay attention! You must guarantee that you are still increasing your own power before you move on to expanding your factions. If you aren’t strong enough, developing your factions won’t be any point!”
Lin Yuan had contemplated deeply before saying that.
Lin Yuan was the City Lord of Sky City, but his power was not considered strong among its members.
However, this strength did not take into account his secret weapons.
Lin Yuan’s current limitation was his spirit qi professional rank.
But this was not his fault.
If others heard of the speed that Lin Yuan increased his spirit qi professional power, their jaws would drop.
In just a year, his spirit qi professional rank had jumped by two ranks.
He had achieved what would have taken others ten years to do.
But despite all that, Lin Yuan felt it was not enough.
