Chapter 251 I am the only one who is different.
Ah Hua nodded, not quite understanding. Most of their understanding of humans came from information.
Data shows that salt was strictly controlled by the government in ancient times, and the tax revenue from salt accounted for an unimaginably high proportion of the country's total assets.
Even with current information, when Ding Ning was learning to cook, the recipes only said to add a small amount of salt.
"It seems to be true. All the information I've seen suggests adding 'a little' salt."
"Yes, it seems that until now, salt is still a precious thing to humans."
"Yes, yes, you see, those humans who came into the dungeon brought a lot of food, but very little salt." Ding Ning sighed while transmitting the message. Humans brought a lot of food into the dungeon, and they could easily collect food left behind by humans in every corner of the dungeon.
But finding a bag of salt is extremely difficult.
Now they couldn't get out and the passage was not open, so they couldn't collect more salt.
The more this happened, the more they believed in the value of salt. Most of the humans who came to the dungeon to challenge the levels would hold the wealth in their hands until their death.
They have seen many humans come to the copy without any survival items or props, nor any weapons or equipment. They only wear some precious watches, necklaces, and bracelets. They will carry with them any treasures that do not affect their movements.
In their words, it means being buried alive.
Humans like to keep precious things with them and let them accompany them until they die.
It is said that wealth cannot be brought into this world and cannot be taken away from this world, but we still carry things with us.
"Salt must be very rare and precious, so some people would bring it with them, and at that they could only bring a small bag." Ding Ning sighed. She had seen recipes, and most of them mentioned about half a spoonful of salt.
No wonder Jiang Che had such complicated emotions just now.
I guess this was the first time he had eaten so much salt?
Ding Ning felt a little proud in her heart. Since he was her lover, of course she had to give him the best!
"Now the Dark Forest has occupied a large area outside, and I don't know how much salt is preserved." Ding Ning leaned in Jiang Che's arms and communicated with Ahua, a trace of worry unconsciously emerging in his eyes.
This was already a precious item, and she could imagine how hard it would be to find.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Che felt that Ding Ning was in a strange mood, and he looked at her in confusion.
"Nothing, I just thought about inviting your friends to my house for dinner later, and I was worried that what I cooked wouldn't suit their taste." Ding Ning shook his head, getting rid of the worry from his mind.
She calmed herself down and tried her best to act as if nothing had happened. She couldn't let Jiang Che notice her current difficulties.
After all, I am a lord. Although collecting salt is difficult, I will definitely find it as long as I try.
"Next is some combat skills training. There will be a lot of combat illusions over there. They are all models created by Ah Hua based on the strength of different evil spirits and lords." Ding Ning pointed to another ball of light. There was just boring training over there.
Death during training is a very normal thing. Although it is painful, it does not make her worry as much as Jiang Che entering the illusion.
Willpower is always the most difficult thing to test.
Now that the thing she was most worried about was over, she believed that Jiang Che could get through any difficult training.
Jiang Che seemed to know this as well. He looked towards the location of the light ball and nodded vigorously.
He felt that there was a flash of relief in Ding Ning's tone when he talked about the combat trial.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Che walked towards the light ball of the trial. This time, he found that even his steps were much lighter.
Until Jiang Che left, Ding Ning hurriedly started her own plan. She wanted to order her subordinates to look for more leftover salt in the copy. But then she thought that all the salt in the copy was already in her hands. Even if she wanted to look for it again, she might not find more.
If you want more salt, you still have to go to the human world.
She suddenly thought of Xiong Jie outside. Later on, she rarely observed Jiang Che through Xiong Jie.
She rarely gave any orders to Xiong Jie, and later on, she began to treat Xiong Jie as Jiang Che's friend.
"Uncle Xiong, can you do me a favor?" Ding Ning sent a message to Xiong Jie again.
Xiong Jie, who was building a dark wooden bus outside, was full of energy. Jiang Che was away for something, and Ren Fengxiang kept cutting trees there.
Jiang Che has already passed on to him the method of building the bus, and now he is in charge of the design.
After the dark wood is cut down, it will no longer absorb human life. Even low-level humans can cut it, but it will take some effort for low-level humans.
The speed at which a group of people built a bus was not as fast as the speed at which Ren Fengxiang cut down trees.
The tree trunks next to it have piled up into a small hill.
Xiong Jie divided his people into several groups. Each group was responsible for different tasks, and even different people were responsible for cutting different shapes. The assembly was also divided into several batches, and each person was responsible for different parts.
Although the evil spirits may teach other humans how to build the dark wooden bus in the future, the construction method is currently under their control.
Xiong Jie knew that this method would be known to outsiders sooner or later, so even if he divided it into several sections, he could not hide it.
But what he could do was to slow down the speed at which outsiders knew about it, until Jiang Che's buses completely monopolized the market. Even if they were built outside, they would at most be small batches for private purposes, and the main control would still be in the hands of the inspectors.
Xiong Jie was directing people to work hard, when he suddenly received a message of reminder.
He hadn't heard his master's voice for a long time, and sometimes he even felt like his master had taken back control of him.
He has now begun to treat Jiang Che's copy as his own, and also started to treat Jiang Che as his close junior.
This message was like a basin of cold water, poured directly on his head.
Among so many people, I am the only one who is different.
Although everyone lives in Jiang Che's copy, everyone has no real subordinate relationship with Jiang Che.
The treatment Jiang Che gave everyone made them feel more like they were simply working here for the boss.
"Uncle Xiong, can you do me a favor?" Ding Ning asked again when he heard no answer.
"I'm here, just tell me if you have anything to say." Xiong Jie buried his head, gathered his thoughts, and felt bitter in his mouth.
Who would want to be a slave if they could be free?
Ding Ning immediately sensed that something was wrong with Xiong Jie's mood, and she immediately thought of something, "Uncle, the reason I didn't take back control was just because it made it easier to contact you."
"The current situation is rather special. Once the channel is opened, I will not do this again."
