I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Chapter 690: Chapter 510: The Ninth Epoch is the Final Epoch

Here is the requested translation:

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but scratch his head—this damned [Monster], so greedy yet cowardly.

I really want to beat you into minced meat.

Nonetheless, the cost of this human expenditure can only be borne with gritted teeth. If you’re not willing to use bait, how can you catch big fish?

“How much will it cost?” Lu Yuan asked.

“Hard to estimate, it depends on its level of greed. Actually, it doesn’t require much; just give it a little bit every now and then, and it’ll find it irresistible…”

“In this way, the mental network of eight million people could subtly influence the [Monster].”

Miss Conch said earnestly, “As long as we continuously and tirelessly influence it, it’ll create an illusion—that humans are dangerous, and Green Grass City brings danger too. It will have to transmit us out. Maybe one day, we’ll suddenly be thrown out. That’s essentially the plan.”

The method sounds crude, but it does have some feasibility.

Compared to the violent, brutal snake-man [Ghost], the secretly man-eating [Monster] feels as gentle as a kindergarten child.

After Miss Conch finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent again.

Even the Lanpeng people had no further questions to raise.

They hung their heads, as if… this might indeed be the only way.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath: “Comrades, since this is a long-term war, let’s expand the small grotto-heaven first… The area doesn’t need to grow much, but the height must accommodate a Green Mountain and the inner ring of Sky City.”

Several officials from the logistics department quickly calculated: “Roughly 453 points of luck will be required, especially as the grotto-heaven’s entrance will need to be expanded…”

“Well, one-time investment with future long-term return.”
