I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Just as Lu Yuan was having his meal, Miss Conch said, "Unfortunately, Evil Lu."

"I see most of the book titles are novels, poems, along with personal insights on cooking, making dishes, farming, and brewing tea."

"It seems like people of this civilization live quite leisurely lives."

"Almost everyone here dabbles in some form of art, writes down their thoughts, and then publishes books as a popular fashion."

"Shall I read a piece for you to listen to?"

"Sure, go ahead," Lu Yuan said while eating, appreciating the alien civilization's literature.

Miss Conch spoke in a clear voice, "Missing you, with my toes. Digging furiously into the floor with my toes missing you, and spreading upward along my shins, just like climbing the grand Opium poppy tree..."

It was unclear whether Miss Conch's translation was playing tricks or if the literary work was just like that, but Lu Yuan became utterly baffled.

Hearing this crooked poetry, he was jolted, and the delicious meat suddenly tasted like toes.

"What the hell! Don't talk about this while someone's eating."

"Okay, I'll switch now."

"As you beat me, the ground exploded fiercely, bursting into dazzling light in ecstasy, just like a grand nuclear bomb going off in the sky... This is the meat in the pot, a world-shaking shudder."

"Ah, truly... truly a mental case!"

Miss Conch stuttered.

She must be doing this on purpose!

Lu Yuan felt his stomach explode but somehow managed to hold back and not vomit out his white rice.

"What's this civilization called?"

"Green Grass Civilization."

The current signs indicated that the Green Grass Civilization was a highly developed, wealthy civilization.

Only in times of superior economic conditions do people have free time to write love songs and various frivolous things.

When economic conditions are poor, everyone is busy trying to survive, and malice grows rampant.

Disputes between men and women naturally become widespread, and even in novels, everyone just wants to read ones without a main female character.

No matter if it's Japan, the Great Bang Kingdom, or the Great Dong Country, they cannot escape the laws of human nature.

Miss Conch took out a map and said, "The information you need should be around this location, called the Grand Monastery, where you should be able to find various cultivation techniques."

"And over here, called the Great Science Hall, there's a very large library nearby. I don't know if it still exists."

"And here, at the very center of the city, where the Opium poppy tree once was. The trash there should be the best; if the monsters haven't picked it clean, you could try your luck there."

Lu Yuan squinted his eyes; the monastery, library, and the site of the Opium poppy tree were all located in the city center.

Obviously, the city center would carry risks, and combined with the dream he had last night, it made him hesitant.

"If worse comes to worst, we'll clear the way with the cannons," Old Cat said excitedly. "As long as we don't encounter Catastrophe Level anomalies, what's there to be afraid of?"

"But I didn't bring many shells, just about a hundred or so. Do you want to bomb the entire city?" Lu Yuan took out the shells from the Storage Space, box by box, and carefully counted them.

These shells occupied a lot of space in the Storage Space, 16 in a box, with a total of 9 boxes of the regular high-explosive bombs.

There were also the far more powerful all-nitrogen anion salt explosives, with a potency ten times that of high-explosive bombs!

Only one box.

While crossing the desert, Lu Yuan had felt quite desperate; why carry these explosives instead of more water?

Fortunately, now that he had made it through, these modern weapons provided a substantial boost to his confidence.

"You also need to find a field to plant some crops here. Otherwise, your food supply will only last for three months," said Old Cat.

"I know, it's not a big problem."

"And that camel, the possible existence of a civilization, investigate that as well,"

Lu Yuan sighed softly.

Down to the last bullet and ration.

The three-year journey had exhausted all the provisions Lu Yuan carried, especially the turtle, which ate a staggering amount; it was a major consumer.

Lu Yuan might be staying here for quite a long time, so exploring and farming would become the two main themes for the future.

"Tomorrow I'll plant the Tree of Life and start cultivating a piece of farmland."

"Then I'll explore slowly, no rush. This is a long-term project, let's take it step by step."

"Use cold weapons as much as possible. If it really won't do, then resort to the big guns..."

"I know how to handle things, don't worry."

For the rest of the night, Lu Yuan was busy modifying his tricycle.

First, he installed a small high gun, then mounted two light machine guns.

"Ratatatat!" Lu Yuan made a hand gesture, imagining the scene of cold weapon warriors in black armor pedaling the seats and Old Cat frantically shooting from behind.

Something felt oddly amiss.

...

Another day brimming with vitality and life dawned.

In the cloudless sky, birds occasionally soared by, and the roadside weeds glistened with the morning dew.

The cheerful Old Wolf and his harem were yelping for food at the crack of dawn.

The transformation from wolf to dog was truly swift; Old Wolf might have realized this place was going to be his next home, for it took just two days to consider it his territory. And those three she-wolves followed him, becoming dogs in merely two days.

Lu Yuan opened the door of his room, and sunlight mixed with dust poured in from the outside world.

The Chicken Snake still guarded its pond, squatting over its eggs, which were fertilized.

"Good morning, hen!"

"Squawk!" The Chicken Snake looked fierce, as if it wanted to peck open Lu Yuan's skull.

[Good morning, Chicken Lady.]

"Cluck cluck." The creature's gaze seemed noticeably friendlier.

"Oh, laid another egg? Can you lay one every day?" Lu Yuan covered the Chicken Snake's head with a cloth, reached out, and quietly swiped the egg.

The old hen hastily turned back and counted the eggs, clucking away.

But it couldn't count, so as long as there weren't too many missing, it wasn't a big deal.

[Chicken Lady, you have a very standard way of incubating eggs.]

"Cluck cluck!"

[Make sure to hatch all 30 chicks from the 30 eggs. Do not get it wrong.]

"Cluck cluck!"

The two had a warm and friendly conversation.

Lu Yuan's face showed a nostalgic expression as he remembered the Mother Bear of the Meida Civilization... He wondered how that creature was doing? Still living in the tree hole? How many cubs had it borne?

He also missed the she-wolf of the Meida Civilization, the memory of those rows of white cubs.

Scattering a handful of millet, the still-untamed old hen narrowed her eyes, first discerning whether there was any poison, and then began to peck like a hen feeding.

[The Chicken Lady is quite smart too, just as clever as Mr. Lang, she can do addition and subtraction up to five.]
