## Xilang mountain

Conner then brings **food**: some Lala potatoes and pancakes. It was not much, and Athena and Chen understood why they were so weak: they did not eat much nutritious food.

Gade hurriedly got up and bowed back at Athena. Chen Rui withdrew all the remaining prey from the space bracelet and said, "Gade, ask someone to clean these prey then bring a few of your biggest pot. Later, gather everyone and we'll drink some soup."

Gade looked surprised. He quickly asked Connor to work with the prey. His impression of Chen Rui got slightly better.

Soon, the fire was started and a few huge iron pots were set up. Chen Rui began to stew in some additional condiments. The climate of Xilang was very cold, so the steaming pot and the long-lost meat fragrance made all the nearby demons drool. If it weren't for Gade's prestige, they would've snatched it. Connor gathered almost every miner. There were about four to five hundred people, mostly imps, dwarves, and a few dark elves and centaurs. Almost everyone looked at the few pots beside the... new mining officer with hope.

"Can you give me your crossbow?" Chen Rui came to the nearest dark dwarf. The dwarf didn't expect the human would look for him, so he was holding the crossbow tight subconsciously and didn't dare to let go.

Chen Rui was too impatient to be nice. He snatched it directly. He raised it high and waved it, then the sturdy crossbow began to decay quickly; it scattered like a rotten wood.

"This is one of the dozens poison skills taught by master." Chen Rui intimidated while looking wicked, "If there are any enemies that fall in my hands, I'm more than happy to have another experiment subject for my poison."

That move obviously scared many demons who were there, and the noisy scene suddenly calmed down.

Although talents such as potioneer and mechanic were not very strong in combat, they were equally revered, especially potioneers. The story about Aldas poisoning the potioneer genius, Sandro from the capital city with his fart not only spread throughout Dark Moon and the Fallen Angel Empire, but it had even spread to the remaining two empires.

Thinking of that, many of the demons that were in front retreated backward at the same time, especially the dwarf who was used for demonstration was shivering in fear. That was the effect Chen Rui wanted. After being in the Demon Realm for so long, he already knew the knack of it. This world advocated the strongest. If one was soft and gentle, it'd only make these people harder to control. He should first use a big stick to intimate them, then he gave them a carrot. That was the most effective way.

"Rest assured everyone. My poison will only be used against the enemies; it won't cause any harm to my people." After Chen Rui showed his strength, he immediately threw out the "carrot", "I know that the mine's situation is bad, so I don't have much demand in regards to mining. I have only one request. Which is during my tenure as a mining officer, you have to obey my orders. As for the food, I brought two powerful wyverns. Ms. Athena here is the best swordswoman in the Dark Moon, and she is also the best beast tamer. We will use the wyverns to hunt prey and strive to let everyone drink a hot meat soup every two days. Do you like that?"

Everyone shouted, "Yes!"

Chen Rui had a clear mind that the answer was 100% for the meat soup. Although the meat soup was still not enough, it was already a luxury even just for a bit for those miners who hadn't tasted meat for a long time. Everyone had a primary impression in their minds: Although the new supervisor is a human, he possesses powerful poison. If we were disobedient, we'll be very miserable; on the contrary, we'll have meat soup to enjoy if we obey him.

Subsequently, it was the most popular dining time. Gade was indeed from the military as under his command, the distribution of meat soup proceeded in an orderly manner.
