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

Lu Yuan slowly shifted towards the office area near the Opium poppy tree.

He found a large pit and rooted himself in the soil.

He felt the bustling social atmosphere, simply standing there, spacing out for a while, watching the sun slowly set, instinctively wanting to turn on the lights.

"Click, click," he pressed a few buttons, but found that the power grid had not yet been repaired, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Everyone, dinner time! Let's continue working after eating," shouted the chef who was cooking the communal meal.

Then everyone gathered to eat, sharing amusing stories from the war, describing how scared they had been, thinking of their wives and children which spurred them to bravely fight the enemy.

Some were actually boasting—they had clearly been firing machine guns.

The steaming white rice emitted a cloud of steam. The children also ran over, not having to go to school, they were thrilled, chattering away, discussing who knows what.

Lu Yuan, devoid of a physical body, felt the earthly scent of humanity, watching the flickering flames, suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of inexplicable emotion—perhaps, this is what life is all about!

Even the Opium poppy tree nearby appeared slightly weary.

The leaves were bare, and some of the bark was scorched, needing a long time to recover its vitality.

However, the happiness of having survived the crisis was just like that, even just staying still gave a sense of indescribable peace.

"Rest for a while, I'm exhausted."

[Yeah, I'm going to take a nap too.]

The souls of the two people squeezed into the Tree of Life and quietly fell asleep.

After resting for the night, as the sun rose again in the east, Lu Yuan woke up refreshed.

The Conch Girl remained close to his spirit, motionless—unfortunately, in the state of the soul, there was no real tactile sensation, otherwise, would it have been his first time sleeping with a girl?

He suddenly saw the "Sky Fortress" descending from the sky, soldiers leading hundreds of cows, rushing towards the Baby garden, shouting loudly, "Great news, 330 cows, does anyone know how to milk cows!"

"Please help, feed the babies! It's a daunting task!"

"I can! I can!" Many idle elders, along with some new mothers, followed the soldiers and ran over.

"Make sure your hands are clean! Boil the milk and cool it to 37 degrees before feeding!"

At this moment, although chaotic, the community was quite friendly. There were no opportunities for petty theft, everyone found their own work to do, filled with a sense of initiative, almost no one was idle. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

"It's wonderful... just like one big family."

This familial atmosphere might only last a few days, but it was still nice.

Lu Yuan suddenly felt a surge of desire to work. He had been standing here idly; it wasn't quite proper, he should at least make an appearance in front of the public.

However, he didn't have an authentic Life Fruit, so he couldn't possess a human body.

He could only think of a way to create a simple, inexpensive clone.

This clone had only a third of the original's combat power, couldn't be maintained for long, but as long as it looked similar, no one would come to test his combat strength now.

"Mr. Lu, you're back?"

"Everyone's busy, haha, just got back. Don't mind me, carry on," he replied.

"Has the war really ended?"

There were already many rumors circulating; Old Cat had already announced the victory in the war.

But Lu Yuan was the Great Commander.

The people still wanted to hear the firsthand news from the highest leader.

Lu Yuan grabbed a megaphone, stood in the central square, and proclaimed loudly, "Comrades, I announce, we have achieved a great victory in this war!"

"The enemies from the Mandala Empire have been completely annihilated!"

"A heartfelt thank you to our brave soldiers!"

Instantly, men and women, old and young, all cheered.

Their voices washed like waves, one after another.

The soldiers puffed out their chests—although everyone knew they weren't the main combat force, they still deserved some credit.

Lu Yuan gestured for silence, "Comrades, the Pangu Continent is fraught with dangers, the great Mandala Empire has vanished just like that, you all saw it."

"A parasitic monster directly destroyed the empire."

"No one knows if our future might face a similar calamity!"

"Therefore, we must establish corresponding safety mechanisms, build a stronger army."

"And an army cannot exist without material and technological support, let us continue to work hard, to survive together in this harsh world!"

He realized he had instinctively started to offer promises. Was this what leadership cultivation was all about?

Because everyone still had a lot of work to do, Lu Yuan simply said a few words without making a lengthy speech, "In conclusion, let's celebrate our victory!"

"I announce, each person will receive 100 yuan worth of vouchers from Green Grass Supermarket!"

The cheers grew even louder, for it was time to distribute benefits...

In this era, 100 yuan was no small amount.

Subsequently, Lu Yuan entered the Central Shelter and moved Conch Girl's physical body out.

Conch Girl was 1.7 meters tall, gracefully built, with flesh in all the right places, her body soft and fragrant, a pity she had no soul, just like a sleeping beauty.

With no socks on her feet, her pale legs swayed from his arms.

And that beautiful, long hair, when blown by the wind, kept floating onto Lu Yuan's face, stirring his heart—such is human nature, once that figurative window is breached, emotional experiences immediately transform.
