Legend20054dReplied to MDN_People knew how to extract them already, gold and salt are very difficult to extract without modern machinery and expertise. I guess if you can train enough people to be skilled at it and create an efficient steam engine then sure but who is going to give you access to gold and salt? They were already strictly controlled by the high class. Plantation crops like sugar and tobacco were expensive even during the Industrial Revolution because it is very tough to automate. Which is why plantation crops relied on immense labor even when trains were spreading across the globe.
Unlike the protagonists in novels who could do everything, aside from some common knowledge, he didn't know much about science and engineering, and he could hardly remember any ancient poetry. Even if he had memorized poetry every day in high school, by this time, he had forgotten it all, so he was no different from ancient people.detailHaving children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wifeEastern · Summer fades into autumn.- Legend20057dReplied to Slence509Haitian
Yeah, that’s true. I was just using it as an example to show how information itself can’t really help you.

Yeah queen ants tear off their wings In real life. They also ise their eggs as food storages if necessary. So it is pretty common for an ant queen to eat her own eggs.
After mating, the petite female exerted herself to break off her wings with her front legs. This was to conserve unnecessary energy expenditure and also to reduce the chance of being spotted by predators.detailImmortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat pointsEastern · Smoke Painted - Legend20051mthCommented"[Congratulations Host for obtaining one Dragon and Tiger Pill, one Realm Breaking Pill, a Desert Eagle with five hundred bullets, fifty grenades, and one Dragon Phoenix Tree seed.]"detailHaving children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wifeEastern · Summer fades into autumn.

The other thing is that most knowledge that you can have cannot be applied easily. Even something as basic as cooking would be vastly different due to ingredients. the old world did not have potatoes, corn, tobacco until Christopher Columbus. And common ingredients such as cinnamon were in remote areas like Sri Lanka. Sugar production was so expensive that only the filthy rich could enjoy it. Even then, no white sugar :( Long story short, you would have zero advantage. Not to mention everyone in that era is more adapted and skilled than you.

Guess you are about to die then
He had heard a saying before, which was 'Men only receive flowers on the day they die'. - Legend20051mthCommented
He should have just acted normal. Saying that is gonna get him in trouble
"Don't be shy, Master, it's normal for people to self-indulge from time to time. I'll visit you later..." said Xie Qing and smoothly closed the door – it looked as if someone had pressed the rewind button. - Legend20051mthCommented
So he was basically Frankenstein
After graduating from college, Duanmu Huai's situation didn't improve. When applying for jobs, employers thought his appearance was too intimidating. They feared customers might suspect the company had connections with the underworld. Even job applications for security guards were rejected, as property managers worried residents might mistake him for a highway robber. - Legend20052mthCommented
Well, in games, aoe skills are usually somewhat pointless as they have low damage output wirh low defense unless there are a lot of enemies.
But the high experience requirement for leveling up as an AoE magus had pulled her down from her pedestal as a prodigy. - Legend20052mthReplied to Shadow5789

"That's right, men have a hard time controlling their minds. I think Ming Ze needs to be given a little pleasure so that he won't be lured by other women. How do I make him feel pleasure that he can't forget?" added the princess. - Legend20052mthReplied to ZARA002
Yeah, he obviously doesn’t like her. He is just considering what to say to look ordinary.
Sam had thought this through before speaking; after all, they hadn't really met many times. And Angel was particularly beautiful. To outright say he disliked her would only arouse unnecessary suspicion or lead to unforeseen complications. - Legend20052mthCommented
The way things are going rn, he’s gonna be in a world of pain.
In a series of inexplicable events that occurred with lightning speed, Zhang Jian was yanked out of the comfort of his daily routine without warning and hurled into a period that existed outside the pages of history. Any normal person would have been petrified by the present situation and the suddenness with which it had occurred. He had completely been taken unawares. One moment he had been in an elevator and the very next moment, in a brief instant, Zhang Jian found himself in a very strange place that looked like the countryside that was frequently used on TV in epic movies and K-drama. Still clutching his bag of groceries, the stunned Zhang Jian looked on in disbelief as the thought to himself; - Legend20052mthReplied to DigDig
Well it’s a support class, so he just has to sit in the back where it is safe.
"So many choices," Aaron murmured, his analytical mind racing. His cursor hovered over the Strategist class. Strategists specialized in traps, buffs, and debuffs - subtly shifting battles to their advantage from the shadows. It aligned well with Aaron's natural talents. - Legend20053mthCommented
This is where you are supposed to call the FBI.
"I want cash." Chen Li replied with a shake of his head. Since he was wearing a disguise, he certainly couldn't give his account number to the shop owner because he would immediately recognize his identity. - Legend20053mthReplied to Marduk8
Exactly what I was thinking, malls usually have docking areas for trucks to transport goods.
Under normal circumstances, using a big truck would be a good choice. - Legend20053mthCommented
Man, she deserves a raise for her marketing

Bruh, it’s the fee that she collected from Alec…
"It's not much…" Lilith shrugged, with an extremely adorable expression: "It's just 20,000 gold coins and a 4-star pill." - Legend20053mthCommented
Bruh, this guy has less survival instincts than a literal worm. Like what??? You know that he is the diciple of the (acting) sect leader, and you choose to make a larger enemy out of him???
But nevertheless, he was not about to spare him today. So he said with great sarcasm as he looked at Qin Keqin and saw that she was wearing a jade pendant around her belt, "I've thought who is here so it is my Senior Brother Lu Qingyun here. The person that is with you must be your companion maidservant. But why is she all cover up? Is she not good looking or she is infected with some sickness?" - Legend20054mthCommented
