Chapter 67: Calamity of the Thorn Crown
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.

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.
