Chapter 253: Chapter 233 Huge Profits

And so, a week swiftly passed.

The first batch of pig patients were discharged from the hospital.

And the pig doctors, quite a few had perished, replaced by a new batch.

But after reaching a depth of 500,000 meters, that odd "head" began its ceaseless, agonizing cries again, "Can’t dig anymore! Black-clothed Guard, can’t you speed things up! I’m exhausted, can’t dig anymore!"

The Black-clothed Guard was driven to a frazzle by this guy, under immense pressure.

Although this guy was just a laborer, he was nonetheless a Subordinate Demon God, and the pressure of being singled out for criticism was truly... indescribable to outsiders.

Thus, during this internal meeting, the senior gentleman with graying hair, Number One, spoke with a mix of anxiety and joy, "Gentlemen, the situation in Qingtian Hospital has generally stabilized. Our deployed forces there are sufficient for monitoring."

"The only trouble is, that head digging the tunnel keeps urging us to ’hurry up.’ It... can’t dig anymore and has stopped at a position roughly 500,000 meters deep."

"We’ve found that this newly dug tunnel bears some resemblance to the Stairway to Heaven, causing disorientation when entered. This indicates that there is indeed a very high probability it leads to parallel worlds."

The eerie Qingtian Hospital, the Subordinate Demon God digging the tunnel, and reports related to parallel worlds.

Recent events had occurred in such rapid succession that they had everyone at their wits’ end.

Especially the tunnel to the parallel world, there was an unsettling, profound terror lurking within.

Once the tunnel was excavated through, we could potentially face a head-on confrontation with two Demon Gods!

Whether it was the preparation of perimeter defenses or the arrangement of World Level Strange Objects, all needed to be considered.

Even the Black-clothed Guard had no choice but to yield some of Qingtian Hospital’s interests, bringing in some foreign forces.

After a moment of silence, Number 12, Lu Tianming asked, "Does that head possess any intelligence? Why not try talking to it? It really should make it clear what exactly it wants us to do."

The person in charge gave a wry smile and shook his head, "We’ve tried probing already, and it seems to lack intelligence... It just repeats ’Can’t dig anymore’ and ’I’m dying from exhaustion,’ then it singles out us, the Black-clothed Guard, pressuring us to hurry up."

"That’s all it says. It completely ignores any other questions."

Number 12 said, "No wonder this guy was chosen by ’Game’ to dig the tunnel here. Probably useless if a real fight broke out."

Number One shook his head and sighed, "Gentlemen, we must not take this lightly, the lack of intelligence might be feigned... We have to find a way to resolve this issue and can’t let it keep nagging us, the ’Black-clothed Guard.’"

The constant reminder of this pressure was simply unbearable.

Who knows if this creature might lose patience and go berserk one day!

In the end, it was a Subordinate Demon God, not so easy to deal with.

Number 28, Ms. Immortal Bean, snickered secretly, reveling in the disaster.

She loved seeing this group of people with much to gain and endlessly debating.

Hmm, thanks to the recent abundance of "source" and a bit of luck, both Immortal Beans and Spiritual Beans had thrived in cultivation! With results at hand, confidence was naturally high.

"...But we’ve already done our best..."

"Qingtian Hospital is just an animal hospital, treating sick animals every day. Ms. Feng Ling also thinks this approach is good, as it continually exhausts the energy of ’Delusion,’ and at the same time, we can maintain control over the ’anchors’ of ’Delusion,’ preventing them from spreading to humans."

"There couldn’t be a better method."

After all, "Game" was behind the "head."

Humans could not afford to offend the mighty "Game"...

It wasn’t long before someone guessed the possible truth, "It might be because the ’Mirror Image’ is incomplete. The hospital in the other world mainly treats humans, while ours is an animal hospital. The low degree of similarity prevents the digging of a World Level tunnel."

"If we switch to treating humans here, we should be able to ’Mirror Image’ completely, allowing it to dig successfully."

Number One shook his head, "No, absolutely not, treating animals, we can slaughter them at any time."

"Treating humans, we can’t just kill people indiscriminately, even if they are criminals."

According to the recent tests, pigs that had been treated at Qingtian Hospital produced approximately 0.07% more "source" than normal pigs when processed.

It was a minuscule amount, a pig could only yield 0.00233 units of source, and the production cost was relatively high. But it also meant that they had in fact been "anchored" by "Delusion," albeit with very minimal effort.

On the contrary, the "source" extracted from the slaughtered "doctor pigs" at the hospital was remarkably substantial!

One doctor pig could yield 10-20 units of source, with relatively lower production costs.

There was considerable room for improvement with technology refinements.

The Black-clothed Guard’s scientists were grinning from ear to ear at the thought of obtaining a thousand or two thousand units of source by slaughtering just 100 doctor pigs!

This was the biggest gain from the hustle and bustle of the past few days!

These doctor pigs, with a daily value of ten billion, who wouldn’t love them? An annual output worth hundreds of billions produced from thin air!

You have to understand that the military expenses for the Great Xia Country are around a trillion for the year, and that’s with millions of soldiers and a huge industrial chain to spread the cost. Now, with the hospital’s annual output worth hundreds of billions reserved solely for the lab’s use, how was this different from picking money off the ground?

Just look at the leaders of foreign organizations, those eyes... filled with envy!

"So no matter what, we can’t switch to a human hospital! Absolutely impossible!" Comrade Number 24 roared loudly.

On the other hand, it must be mentioned that the concept of "Reincarnation" does not exist in the Etheric Abyss. When people die, it’s like a light being extinguished, and their information automatically reverts back to the Etheric Abyss. Life happens only once, and the soul is merely a vital material for living beings. Upon death, the soul gradually dissipates, breaking down into informational light points.

Therefore, there’s no issue of which is nobler, the soul or the body.

Since human survival requires eating meat, using animal souls to refine source would have no ethical issues, given that reincarnation does not exist in the world.

The Intelligent Group came up with a new solution, "Since we can’t change our side, there’s only one other method left, to make the Qingtian Hospital in the other world into an animal hospital. It would also create a stronger Mirror Image effect."

"And incidentally, they might need to... dig a well in the exact same location."

Number One sighed, "We can only let Chen Xinyi pass on this message. Whether it will work is still uncertain."

"But speaking of which, their world is the one burdened with disaster; we’re just coordinating to lend a hand."

"If they don’t save themselves... actions are within human control, ’Game’ can’t blame us, can it?"
