…………

Having gained shock points, Qi Mo no longer wanted to listen to the elders' flattery, so he told the Queen Mother of the West and left the palace.

Behind him, the elders continued to praise Qi Mo.

Qi Mo was somewhat puzzled. Why would the Queen Mother of the West support this group of people who do nothing but eat?

In the event of a major incident, it is almost useless.

This is not a waste of food!

He thought about it and realized that the Queen Mother of the West might need a group of people who were obedient and did not pose a threat to her power, which was why she kept this group of elders.

It turns out they were a group of people with titles but no real power.

After leaving the underground palace, Qi Mo did not return to the "laboratory" but went to earn shock points.

The residents were allocated comfortable houses and no longer had to live in the dilapidated wooden huts and drafty caves, for which they were very grateful to Qi Mo.

Therefore, as soon as Qi Mo appeared, residents continuously provided shock points.

An elderly man with gray hair knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly with tears streaming down his face.

"My Lord God, waah! It's my Lord God... the Lord God who led us out of this sea of ​​suffering..."

The wailing startled Qi Mo.

He was really afraid that the old man would rush up and grab his trouser leg, refusing to let go.

Then, snot and tears soaked his pants.

Just thinking about it triggers his obsessive-compulsive disorder; he absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen.

So he quickened his pace and headed toward the "Construction Department".

In a simple, makeshift, busy workshop, architects are directing slaves to throw hard rocks and sticky mud into the furnace.

They need to speed things up and build more houses so that every resident of the Queen Mother of the West can live in a comfortable brick house.

"My Lord, it's my Lord!"

An architect pointed in a direction and said excitedly.

The other architects turned their heads and, sure enough, saw the figure of the deity.

They all deeply admired and respected the gods.

Without the "Basic Buildings" bestowed by the gods, they could not have built such a magical house, let alone made a name for themselves in history.

Yes, these architects understood that once word got out about building the houses, they would be remembered for thousands of years to come.

This is an immense honor!

Wow, you've surpassed ten million points! That's awesome!

[Ahem, don't miss out!]

[Snake Control Technique, only 5000000 points! A fair deal for everyone, buy now!]

Qi Mo completely ignores the system.

What does he need a snake-controlling technique for?

The Snake Mother is his "little brother," so why not just let the Snake Mother control the other snakes? Why bother exchanging for the Snake Control Technique!

Besides, this trash snake control technique costs 5000000 points. Do they think he's a sucker?

Once you master snake control, you'll basically be in charge of the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom.

If the Queen Mother of the West dares to utter a sound, you can have a pheasant bite her into hundreds and thousands of pieces.

[Moreover, being surrounded by countless snakes, what a cool scene that would be!]

Aren't you tempted?

Qi Mo rolled his eyes:

"If you're not interested, get out of my way. Don't try to sell me this useless and ridiculously expensive stuff."

He was already familiar with the system's tricks and would not fall for it again.

After all, the last time he was levitated, he was so angry that he vomited blood.

He strongly suspected that the snake-controlling technique was merely a name without substance, and that it could probably only control a dozen or so snakes.

If you want to control more snakes, you'll need to upgrade.

Just as Qi Mo thought, that's exactly right.

In pursuit of points, the system has become increasingly shameless and unscrupulous, constantly scheming to rip off Qi Mo.

Qi Mo looked at the people kneeling before him and waved his hand:

"Get up, everyone."

"I've only come to check on your progress."

"You have all performed exceptionally well these past few days, and have not disappointed my expectations..."

He spoke to the people in the "Construction Department" for a long time, as if reading from a prepared script, before turning and leaving.

These architects and female soldiers were inspired to exploit the exhausted slaves relentlessly.

As long as they don't die, they have to work; they still want to receive the praise of the gods once again.

Slave: I want to die. Working sixteen hours a day, is it even allowed to live?

…………

Qi Mo grabbed a pheasant by the neck and injected it with an improved evolution potion.

The pheasant struggled violently with its neck, but the large hand was like an iron clamp, and it couldn't break free at all.

After injecting the evolution potion, Qi Mo opened a transparent glass box and put the pheasant's neck inside.

Next, all we need to do is observe the evolution of the pheasant's neck.

Inside the glass box, the pheasant's neck was in great pain, and it kept hitting the wall, even as it bled.

It felt like its whole body was burning, it was very uncomfortable, and its flesh seemed to be splitting open and then healing again.

The pain made the pheasant's neck feel desperate; it would be better to just chop it off.

Qi Mo took out a thick notebook and started writing in it:

"After being injected with the evolution drug, the pheasant will experience discomfort in its neck and will try to relieve the pain by banging its head against something."

"The pheasant's neck is undergoing a strange change; its body is swelling and it may explode."

"Upon closer inspection, it was not expanding, but rather growing and evolving; its size has increased."

"Evolution seems to have failed; three eyes have grown on its neck."

"It can't be called a complete failure, it's just that the evolution was a bit... unusual."

"This is a new breakthrough that will be very helpful for subsequent experiments. Now it has reached the size of an adult's body, and the glass box could no longer contain it and broke."

"The pheasant's ferocity was fully unleashed, and it attacked anyone it saw."

Qi Mo stepped on the pheasant's neck with one foot while taking notes.

The pheasant tried to wrap its neck around Qi Mo's body, but was knocked away by the little sun.

…………

After half an hour.

The pheasant's neck has evolved, transforming into a bizarre and unique snake.

Not only is it enormous, but it also has three extra eyes on its neck.

It is unknown whether its offspring will inherit these "advantages".

At this moment, the pheasant lay quietly on the ground, no longer daring to launch an attack on Qi Mo.

Because it had been half-dead from being hit by the little sun, and its scales had fallen off all over the ground.

Fortunately, the evolved pheasant's neck has a very strong self-healing ability; as long as it's not a fatal injury, it can slowly recover.

Qi Mo closed the thick notebook:

"System, exchange for a large glass case."

【Okay, 100000 points deducted, redemption successful】

Qi Mo pointed to a spot and instructed the system to place the large box there.

Then, he kicked the pheasant in the neck:

"Climb inside the box. Don't wander around without my permission."

The pheasant struggled to move its body and climb into the large box.

A long trail of blood was left along the way.
