Lu Yao’s mouse landed on the “Deep Sea Stone Spirit”.
The screen displayed:
“Do you need to summon the Deep Sea Lord?”
“Yes” or “No”
Lu Yao chose “Yes”.
For him, the passive effect of slowly generating the all-purpose stone was far less valuable than immediate combat power.
Even ordinary workers know that cash is king.
Believing in the future is better than eating a hot pancake.
At this moment, a beam of light flew out from the Deep Sea Stone Spirit, forming a circular light spot on the sea surface.
Lu Yao discovered that he could adjust the arc and direction of the light with the mouse.
It seemed to be a beacon for the Deep Sea Lord.
Suddenly, a thick fog spread over the sea, and in the mist, a black island slowly emerged. The island was covered with coral and rocks, as well as a sunken ship covered in seaweed, like an underwater land that had floated up.
The floating island slowly stopped at the beacon of the Deep Sea Stone Spirit, and five large and soft red limbs extended from the island. These limbs seemed to be the true form of the island.
The Deep Sea Stone Spirit flew into the island and merged with it.
The name “Deep Sea Lord” appeared in the sky above the island.
At this moment, Lu Yao frowned.
He felt that this Deep Sea Lord resembled someone… who was it again?
He closed his eyes and pondered.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt flashed in his mind!
Isn’t this a super-sized Patrick Star?
Once the image of Patrick Star appeared in his mind, this “Deep Sea Lord” no longer had a sense of intimidation, and its appearance seemed more simple and honest.
Lu Yao opened the panel.
…

[Sea Fortress LV2]
Gathers the summoned marine creatures within the Deep Sea Lord, gaining a high amount of HP and defense bonuses. The bonuses depend on the number and level of the summoned creatures, as well as the level of this ability.
…
Lu Yao carefully read the description of the Deep Sea Lord.
It didn’t have six-dimensional data, which meant that it still belonged to the category of monsters.
The Deep Sea Lord had a high level and a balanced offense and defense.
Unlike the Blood Knight, it didn’t have a severe imbalance between damage overflow and defense, with its defense only being half of its attack. However, its speed was slower than the Blood Knight.
But the Deep Sea Lord also had outstanding advantages. It had excellent endurance and underwater combat capabilities.
“Water Element” and “Dive” were both excellent skills for long-term actions in the sea.
“Intimidation” was a divine technique when facing large-scale lower-level groups.
The last two abilities, “Deep Sea Conquest” and “Sea Fortress,” were a combined combo. The stronger the marine creatures that could be summoned, the stronger Krow’s combat power.
Truly deserving of the name Deep Sea Lord.
The only problem was that the Deep Sea Lord didn’t have a dialogue box on top, so it couldn’t communicate. Its intelligence was even more heavyweight than the Blood Knight, purely a beast.
Isabella tried to communicate with it, but it was completely ineffective.
Dinah said that the Deep Sea Lord itself was a creature that didn’t belong to this world.
The Sea Wanderer clan regarded the Deep Sea Lord as a water-based war beast and the guardian deity of the entire race.
However, operating the Deep Sea Lord, Krow, was not difficult.
If Lu Yao didn’t move it, it would continue to float on the sea surface in the form of an island, firmly holding its ground like an ordinary small island.
When Lu Yao selected it and used the “Manual Mode,” right-clicking on the direction and route, the Deep Sea Lord would carry the island and move in the sea according to the mouse. The corresponding skill bar would appear on the right side of the screen.
Lu Yao’s original plan was to let the Deep Sea Lord find another treasure, “Aegir’s Fire.” With its appearance as a beast-like tool, it was impossible to execute complex tasks.
Due to a lack of sufficient clues, this matter could only be taken slowly.
Finally, Lu Yao dragged the Deep Sea Lord to a location not far from the island where the “Dark Abyss” was located, and clicked “Auto Mode.” It would then float quietly on the water’s surface, acting as a large fortress guarding the sea.
…
Lu Yao leaned back in his chair and stretched lazily.
Recently, he had been focusing on exploring the side of transcendent powers and hadn’t paid much attention to the Garlic Tribe’s situation.
Speaking of which, if it weren’t for Yulian’s insistence on exploring Moonlit Island, there wouldn’t have been the subsequent All-Purpose Stone, as well as the Deep Sea Lord brought about by the Deep Sea Stone Spirit.Nowadays, the Garlic Tribe values the spirit of exploration and has grown accustomed to adventure. After two generations of effort and change, they no longer cower in fear, but are filled with curiosity and a desire to explore the world.
Lu Yao looked towards the Western Continent.
When he shifted his perspective back, a flurry of notifications popped up on the screen.
【Sen has invented iron tools.】
【The Garlic Tribe has learned iron smelting.】
【The Garlic Tribe has learned how to use iron.】
【Shang Li has invented the wheel.】
【The Garlic Tribe has learned to manufacture and use wheels.】
【Shang Li has invented the camel cart.】
【The Garlic Tribe has learned to manufacture and use camel carts.】
【Yu Lian has invented arithmetic.】
【The Garlic Tribe has learned to use arithmetic, slightly increasing everyone’s intelligence.】
……
The tribe’s progress was faster than Lu Yao had anticipated.
The once primitive tribe had now built clear, straight stone slab streets, with houses made of wood and stone lined up on both sides.
Camels pulling two-wheeled and four-wheeled carts passed along the road, stopping intermittently. The little cart drivers unloaded the goods from the carts and loaded new ones.
The road started from the eastern dock, went north to the hunter’s cabin in the forest, west to the salt pond settlement behind the mountains. Only the road to the south was too far, and the little people were still building it.
Although it still couldn’t compare to the historic city of Sanilo, the Garlic Tribe had already begun to take on the shape of a city.
Lu Yao glanced at the upper right corner.
Population: 19,802 Faith: 3,119
Among all the believers, the ordinary people had seen the greatest increase recently.
After merging with the Salt Pond Tribe and the Donghai Clan, the population of the Garlic Tribe had reached 8,000, further narrowing the gap with the number of ghost believers.
Among them, it was worth mentioning the bloodline talents of the Donghai Clan and the Donghe Tribe, which brought about rapid population growth. The only downside was that as the little people intermingled generation after generation, these talents were rapidly weakening.
The entire tribe was stable and had control over the surrounding seas. With abundant food and a progressive culture, the civilization of the little people had entered a period of rapid development.
Lu Yao began to consider the next gift to bestow.
The little people were developing evenly and were all striving to obtain more resources, but something was missing. They lacked that final push, and their civilization was in a somewhat stagnant state, lacking in intellectual vitality.
What exactly was missing…
Lu Yao paced back and forth in the room.
Suddenly, he realized.
Entertainment.
The Garlic Tribe was lacking in entertainment.
