After thinking of this, Blue Demon spoke, "Hatred will not bring us hope."
After saying this, Blue Demon could not help but give a bitter smile.
"We, who were born soaked in hatred, if we put down hatred, then what else could we do?"
"You think that in our eyes, in our hearts, it is filled with hatred."
"But our final appeal, merely is to be able to steadily survive in this world."
"Not needing to frequently change our residence in order to avoid players, not needing to train day and night to prepare for the players' raids, not needing to go rescue those innocent lives trapped by players…not needing to spend a lifetime living in despair and difficulty."
After saying this, on Blue Demon's face was written full of helplessness.
"This world is so big, so vast, how have we ever not wanted to properly experience this world's beauty?"
"How have we ever not wanted to put down weapons, put down vigilance, and properly enjoy life?"
"But can we do it?"
"If we could do it, then who would be unable to let go of hatred?"
Blue Demon was a person who understood clearly, he very clearly knew the hatred of the animals, the monsters, actually precisely originated from their living space.
They all were beings that had already developed consciousness, they all had already learned to consider many things.
What they wanted to strive for, was peaceful and stable days.
If this wish could be fulfilled, Blue Demon was willing to let go of hatred.
Of course, if it was for himself, Blue Demon definitely could not let go of this hatred.
But Blue Demon very clearly knew, letting go of hatred was not for himself, it was for the next generation or the generation after that.
It was for the future.
Hearing Blue Demon's words, the animals and monsters behind him pondered for a moment, then all nodded their heads.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan also let out a breath of relief.
Blue Demon indeed was a person with great perspective, everything he had always done was also for the animals' and monsters' faction.
Xu Yuan simply did not need to say to him some big principles of sacrificing the small self to fulfill the greater self.
In Blue Demon's heart it was as clear as a mirror.
Xu Yuan already did not need to explain too much, only needed to provide Blue Demon with a plan.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan nodded his head and spoke, "Since it is like this, then it is very simple."
"Still the three words I just spoke, set the rules. What you all need to do also is very simple."
After saying this, Xu Yuan looked around the rainforest in a circle, then spoke.
"Now you all already have armed the rainforest in its initial stage, this indeed saves a lot of effort."
"In the future there definitely will be players setting foot here."
"So, the rules must start to be established from here."
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Blue Demon knitted his brows and asked, "What rules?"
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked Blue Demon.
"You first talk about the rainforest's advantages."
Blue Demon thought for a moment, then finally told Xu Yuan the details.
"Here the vegetation is lush, water resources are rich, beneficial for planting."
Hearing Blue Demon's words, Xu Yuan also understood.
"Looks like the areas beneficial to monsters and animals all are the main sources of food…"
The forest areas were suitable for building meat farms, while the rainforest areas were suitable for planting.
In other words, here could be built a grain farm.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan asked Blue Demon.
"If by reaching a deal with the players you could, without spending a single soldier, preserve this place, let the players give up exploring and attacking the rainforest."
"Would you be willing?"
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Blue Demon could not help but feel a bit surprised.
"Reaching a deal with the players?"
This was a picture Blue Demon had never imagined.
Although Blue Demon hated the players, the condition Xu Yuan gave was too tempting.
Without spending a single soldier to preserve this place, let the players give up exploring and attacking this place.
In other words, this place would become a pure land.
Blue Demon carefully pondered for a while, then finally spoke, "If it really can be achieved, I am willing."
After saying this, Blue Demon looked at the animals and monsters behind him.
The animals and monsters pondered for a moment, then all reached the same opinion as Blue Demon.
Seeing the animals and monsters behind him had no objections, Blue Demon asked Xu Yuan.
"What kind of deal needs to be reached?"
Xu Yuan spoke, "Barter."
"You all can list out the things you need, of course, in the current stage of scarce resources, best not to list resources like weapons and equipment."
"If someone fulfills your request, then give them some reward."
"The resources given to them are set by you all."
"Of course, best is the things they want. Currently what the players need is food resources, and coincidentally here is a natural grain farm."
"You all don't need to eat, food is useless to you all."
"But these useless things to you all, to the players right now, are especially precious."
Actually Xu Yuan's meaning was very simple, it was to let Blue Demon and them treat themselves as NPCs, issue quests to the players, and if the players completed the quests, give them rewards.
Previously what Xu Yuan had said to Barbecue Sauce also was this meaning.
But last time it was only a concept, this time after coming to the rainforest, this concept must start to gradually be practiced.
The rainforest was currently the best practice ground, whether Xu Yuan's plan could succeed, this step still was very important.
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Blue Demon was silent for a long time, as if thinking about the feasibility of Xu Yuan's proposed plan.
After a long while, Blue Demon finally spoke.
"If only using that food could exchange for the rainforest's peace…"
"I have no objection."
After saying this, Blue Demon hesitated for a moment, and continued to speak.
"This is a good proposal, but the deal's fulfillment requires both sides to obey the rules."
Blue Demon spoke very tactfully, but Xu Yuan still immediately understood Blue Demon's meaning.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan smiled and spoke, "The matters on the players' side, just leave to me."
After saying this, Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Since there are new rules established, naturally it cannot be avoided that there will be people trying to destroy the rules."
"If someone tries to destroy the rules…"
After saying this, Xu Yuan swept his gaze around the animals and monsters, just preparing to say something.
But Blue Demon first opened his mouth.
"If it is my people who destroy the rules, I will personally end them."
After saying this, Blue Demon looked toward Xu Yuan and spoke.
"If it is the players…"
Hearing Blue Demon's words, Xu Yuan smiled and spoke.
"I said before, I will not favor any side. Whichever side breaks the rules, will be punished."
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, then seeing Xu Yuan's sharp eyes, Blue Demon then knew Xu Yuan would do what he said.
Blue Demon also understood the role Xu Yuan wanted to assume.
To put it bluntly, Xu Yuan just wanted to become an absolutely fair arbiter.
Blue Demon toward Xu Yuan wanting to be this identity did not oppose.
But there was one point Blue Demon felt a bit worried about.
Xu Yuan's identity in the main world, Blue Demon already knew.
In the main world, with Xu Yuan's strength, he completely could bear the identity of arbiter.
But in this trial land, it was not easy to say. After all, in this trial land, it belonged to a state where all beings were equal.
Everyone no longer had those special abilities.
Even though Xu Yuan's identity in the main world was the powerful HIM, in this trial land, he was only a player.
As an arbiter, necessarily needed to have strength above everyone else, only then people would believe.
Even though Xu Yuan's foundations were very solid, but in this trial land, he also could not achieve one against a hundred.
So Blue Demon would question Xu Yuan's identity as an arbiter in this trial land.
Even if he had determination, but if this arbiter was defeated, then there would be no rules to speak of.
Thinking of this, Blue Demon also spoke bluntly, "As an arbiter, one must possess sufficient strength."
"It cannot be denied, as HIM, you naturally possess such strength."
"But in this trial land…"
Blue Demon saw very thoroughly, he also was realistic, he would not blindly obey Xu Yuan just because he was HIM.
Although Blue Demon's words were questioning Xu Yuan's strength, Xu Yuan was not angry.
On the contrary, he was rather gratified.
The reason Blue Demon could speak such words, precisely meant Blue Demon already had invested in this.
He already was considering every aspect of establishing new rules.
Since Blue Demon already joined this plan, Xu Yuan also no longer hid anything, he slightly revealed a bit to Blue Demon.
