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

Sha Kan'er said, "The upper council is considering expanding Sky City. Some experts believe that we must transport a mountain to simulate a natural environment and create a superior habitat for flora and fauna to improve productivity."

The Mountain Moving Plan—a project that would require enormous manpower and resources—needed advance publicity and thought mobilization.

Contrary to Lu Yuan's expectations, the public didn't resist such a spectacle; instead, they showed great enthusiasm!

Eighty percent of the population thought Green City was too small and lacked trees.

Indeed, a mountain peak was necessary; otherwise, how could one uphold the name "Green City"?

"Major Sha, when will the survey for the Mountain Moving Plan be completed?"

"For a more detailed plan, please consult the Great Engineering Institute."

"How much productivity is this Cannibal Flower expected to raise for our Human Civilization?"

"It's on its last breath right now; we need to revive it before it can serve its purpose."

"On the other hand, our trade with the Shu Mi Dam Civilization is ongoing. We could sell some fruits to exchange for some new materials."

"Can we still find more large trees? Aside from the Opium poppy, Tree of Life, the Cannibal Flower is the third high-quality large tree. Shouldn't Green City be filled with high-level large trees?"

Sha Kan'er frowned. Your question is really awkward.

Do you think such trees are found everywhere?

They are the most precious things from the relics of the last Epoch.

Finding one is already good fortune.

"This large Cannibal Flower comes from Mr. Lu Yuan's second hometown, the Meida Civilization. In our culture, too, there is a mark of the Meida Civilization... so this large tree is named... Meida Tree."

"Our operation this time was quite fruitful; traveling ten thousand kilometers, we encountered many difficulties..." He calculated in his mind what should and shouldn't be said, starting to speak bureaucratically.

...

While Sha Kan'er was dealing with the journalists, Lu Yuan quietly slipped out of the room.

This wealth was still not sufficient to exchange for those 31 craftsmen; he still had to contact the Rize Civilization!

After nearly two hundred days (2 days) of preparation, the Rize Civilization finally received the Dream message sent by the Yingyu Tree, and each formally logged on.

"Meida Paradise" was transformed by Lu Yuan, from a three-hundred-thousand-meter-high Tree of Life into an ordinary landmark in the Green City.

Receiving Alien people, it was better to keep a low profile, no need for any pomp and ceremony like when receiving humans.

After the lizard men logged on, they looked around at each other and their surroundings, obviously shocked by such a grand Dream for the first time.

"It feels just like reality."

"It has been a long time, Moxi."

"Not even a year, and everyone looks a year older."

These city leaders, scattered in every direction, used to communicate through "Communicators."

Sitting face-to-face like this... had only happened a year ago, before entering Pangu Continent.

"Friends, hello, I am Lu Yuan. I'm very glad to meet all of you again."

Lu Yuan cleared his throat and got straight to the point, "What you are seeing now is a large-scale Dream ability, which can effectively replace the Communicator's communication function." Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire

"Please take a piece of the branch, to serve as the 'key' for using this Dream function in the future."

As soon as the Communicator was mentioned, the lizard men became a bit downcast, each taking a branch from the Dream.

Destroying the "Communicator" was necessary for operating on Pangu Continent.

Though this Dream ability was slightly inconvenient, it was an effective replacement.

Lu Yuan's personal credit was still quite high in their minds.

"I've gathered everyone here mainly to discuss matters of trade. In the last message, I wrote clearly the causes and consequences."

"That 'Spiritual Treasure Encyclopedia' is a gift for everyone."

"We're truly grateful." The lizard men performed standard polite gestures.

It wasn't that Lu Yuan intended to play the good guy.

On one hand, the Rize Civilization simply couldn't afford a ten Spirit Essence 'Spiritual Treasure Encyclopedia', not even one Spirit Essence.

Without this book, they couldn't even figure out the prices of Extraordinary Items and were unable to trade.

Moreover... there was a bond of friendship between both sides.

The artillery and machine guns, Sealing Resin acquired from the Rize Civilization, had saved lives in war. Giving the gift of knowledge was a way of reciprocating that favor.

Although exchanges between civilizations were cold, there were private friendships among their leaders.

Lu Yuan said with a smile, "It's nothing, the world is too oppressive; just surviving is not easy. A small favor done by hand, we're all not short of that little bit, even those High-level Civilizations leave gifts casually, so you don't need to feel obliged."

He then said, "The Shu Mi Dam Civilization we encountered, as a legacy of the last Epoch, has a rich heritage. If you have any needs, or want to trade something, just tell me.

"I'll purchase it for everyone and deliver it to your door. After all, we humans will be here for a while."

The lizard men gradually quieted down, occasionally discussing among themselves.

Over the past two days, they had discussed a lot and deeply understood this was an opportunity.

"How much are those technological products worth?" Moxi, the Governor of the First Branch, asked.

"That's hard to say," Lu Yuan said, "Durable technological products can indeed sell for some money. Things like telegraph machines, electric lamps, handguns, the prices are decent."
