What was the happiest thing in the world?

Of course, it was to bully your enemy!

Sui Xiong did not have many enemies because he pursued the principle of ‘don’t let your hatred remain overnight;’ all his contradictions were resolved at that time. Of his enemies, only the Shadow Devil was still alive, who suffered from his ‘Buddha’s palm,’ and was slowly recovering in the ruins of his own palace.

He had now recovered some strength, and it was not impossible to run and completely kill this half-necromancer, but he had already decided to let this guy be killed by Satan, so he would tolerate him living for now.

It was just... although he didn’t kill him, he could cause him trouble.

With Gratt’s company, the life of the Shadow Devil would surely be fulfilling, and perhaps it would be enriched enough to make it even forget to recover its injuries.

Ah, that kind of life suited it!

“Gratt, Gratt, I’m a good friend, and I’ve found a good audience for you...” Sui Xiong sang a small tune and happily worked on the construction site.

Because of his good mood, his work efficiency had improved significantly. When the spring came back to earth, thick ice and snow began to melt away. The first phase of the new playground had been basically completed.

Because the last lesson was too painful, this time he took a method of completing the construction in different phases. The entire project was divided into three phases, and the scale was greatly increased, but the total workload in the first phase was reduced.

This first phase of the project was relatively mild and gentle. The starting point was to allow visitors to relax and have fun. The underground maze adventure was already exciting enough. It really did not require more exciting items. Everyone gave praise to the new playground.

Snowflake and Steele were in love with the hot springs. Snowflake felt that being soaked in the sulphurous warm water gave her the feeling of returning to her mother’s side. Steele thought this was good for the skin, and that it could enhance her charm.

Wall was interested in the library that had a lot of fantastic stories. He spent days on end in it. Finally, he came out in dismay and asked, “Why there are so many good stories inside that only have half a story?”

Obviously, Sui couldn’t say that this was intentional. He came up with an idea and explained, “In a distant country, there was a bard who used a famous tale as his pen name. He was a famous debauched monarch who teased people. He once said, ‘The best work is one with no ending, so that readers will always remember it.’ I think he made a good point.”

Wall was silent for a moment and asked, “Was that guy later killed?”

“As far as I know, no.”

“That country must be really peaceful,” Wall sighed deeply. “If I meet him, I must tie him up, and force him to complete all his works before I kill him!”

“This is unlikely,” Sui Xiong said with a laugh. “I think before he had completed them he would have died. He was not like you, and could not live for many, many years.”

“How helpless our lives are!” sighed Wall. “I believe when he was dead, he would be blocked by the readers in the underworld. If he could not finish the s, he couldn’t go to heaven or hell!”

Olian and Palin also liked to read books, but Olian was very busy, and this time she did not come to visit. Palin was completely fascinated by those s, and he didn’t go out the many times that others called him.

The big guy Gerrard’s hobby was different. He actually liked the children’s entertainment projects, like bumper cars, bumper boats, carousels, slides, seesaws... In order to be able to play, he even found Sui to cast spells on him to make him a child. Now he was playing happily with little Nice, who was a real child.

“Does this mean that he is actually a child, in essence?” Sui Xiong couldn’t help asking when he watched the bald young boy who yelled in various children’s play structures.

“Perhaps. Human beings are weird,” Frost said.

“You don’t play? You are very young.”

Frost grinned solemnly and expressed his disdain. “I’m a proud dragon! Don’t treat me like that kind of fool!”

“But your sister is talks in her sleep while lying on a pile of gold coins. I haven’t seen her being ‘proud.’”

“She’s stupid!”

But the proud young dragon also failed to maintain his pride for a long time. When the specially-made avatar of Sui Xiong, the fat chef in white, began to roast meat, he smelled the scent and couldn’t stand it any longer, and approached.

After eating a stick of meat, he immediately occupied the place closest to the barbecue, staring intently at the meat sticks that were sizzling on the flames and continuing to give off a wonderful aroma, and he refused to leave.

“I want two hundred sticks!” he declared. “I will bite to death whoever dares to come to cause me trouble before I finish eating. And bake him!”

Liv also wanted to eat two sticks of meat. Seeing his evil look with red eyes, she left with regret. But shortly afterwards, she settled in the dessert shop and happily devoured various high-calorie desserts.

“Eating too many of these things will make you fat,” Sui Xiong warned her seriously. “If you don’t want to become a super fat pig who can only roll like a ball, you shouldn’t eat like this!”

Liv was frightened, but soon found a solution to the problem.

“It’s okay; then I’ll cut off the fat from my body,” she said. “I will look for a treatment for my wounds that won’t leave scars, from Steele.”

Was this a magic version of liposuction?

Sui Xiong was speechless. He couldn’t even imagine how Liv came up with a solution this quickly!

Liv’s mother was more reserved than she was. She only tasted some desserts. She smiled and said, “They are very interesting.” Then she went to the children’s play area. Little Nice was enough to be worried about, and when she played with Gerrard, who thought in a straightforward way, her mother could eat in peace.

“Haha! Fun! Fun! It’s so funny!” Satan took a spring gun with both hands and shot at groups of penguin dolls. He made them in a mess while laughing, full of stress relief.

Sui Xiong looked at him with some doubts. He did not understand why this ‘Shoot the Penguin with a Spring Gun’ game was exciting.

Then he silently wrote down: Satan seems to be mad when he has the gun. If firearms are developed later, they must not be delivered to him.

He looked around and found that he did not see the figure of Rhode and Ray. After searching, he discovered that they were sitting in the planetarium and drinking in the vast man-made sky.

“It feels wonderful!” said Rhode. “I feel that my entire life is sublimated!”

“Yeah! Only a God could make such amazing things!” Ray praised. “I never thought that mortals would have the opportunity to witness such beautiful scenery, not to mention drink in this environment.”

“With such a wonderful view, the wine feels even more mellowing,” Rhode said. “Good wine!

“Well, it feels better than the wine I used to drink in the palace.”

Sui Xiong secretly left with a smile; that wine was his, specially-made with juice based on distilled wine. Compared with the liquor of this world, the taste was more mellow and more delicious.

The only drawback was that it was slightly easier to get people drunk.

Soon afterwards, the church’s chief priest and foreign minister fell asleep, and were carried out by Josh, who was a temporary employee.

“Josh, what do you think of the scenery here?” Sui Xiong grinned at the bulky barbarian man, who was the only one who didn’t enjoy the entertainment, instead waiting for tasks.

“It’s funny,” Josh said. “I expect that there will be a lot of people playing here.”

“Yeah. There must be many, many tourists!” Sui Xiong waved a tentacle and announced loudly. “My goal is 100,000 tourists!”

Josh was shocked. He carefully pondered this number, and could not help but praise.

“This is not possible... it’s too many!” he said.

“This is ideal!” said Sui Xiong, seriously and solemnly. “If a person has no ideal, what difference does he have from a salted fish!” action

Josh was shocked again. He carefully pondered this sentence, and his eyes gradually lit up.

“You are right! Life must have an ideal!”

Sui Xiong nodded, “Yes! We must have ideals!”

“Then my dream is to find a group of good women as soon as possible. I will father three hundred children and rebuild my tribe!”

“Three hundred children?” Sui Xiong was dumbfounded. “Isn’t that too many?”

“Not at all!” Josh said loudly. “I asked a special scholar, who said that if a tribe were to be continued and developed steadily, the minimum number of the newly born should be 300! Considering that there may be various accidental deaths, maybe I will need 400 to 500 children!”

“Oh!” Sui Xiong looked at his high-spirited appearance and couldn’t help be in awe of him. This ideal was simply too grand! It was just as magnificent as Everest!

“What about your current ideal?” he asked.

“For the time being, I haven’t found a woman who would like to have so many children with me,” Josh sighed. “But I will continue to work hard!”

“To tell the truth, I feel it may be a bit difficult.”

“Yeah, so I have to work harder!” said Josh. “For example, I should enter the legendary world as soon as possible. As long as I become a legendary strongman, I can have a longer lifespan and of course, I will be able to breed more offspring.”

“This is the first time I have seen someone wanting to enter the legendary realm with the goal of having more offspring.”

“This is my dream!” Josh said with a smile. “As you said, if a person has no ideal, what difference does he have from a salted fish!”

He was speechless; Sui did not expect that Josh would use this remark to refute himself.

He pondered for a long time, and finally, he patted Josh’s shoulder with his tentacles.

“We have to work harder!”

A month later, the playground officially started operating.
