Chapter 144: Chapter 60: Fabricated Beast Tide (3k)

"She ’cannot’ go out hunting, but she can let mutant creatures harass her area instead!"

Even the introduction to the Cycle Challenge mentions that due to the cold disaster, many mutant creature populations have no choice but to trouble the Lords for food.

This is also the main reason so many Lords have suffered casualties.

And next to her territory is White Poplar Mountain, the largest gathering place for mutant creatures in White Poplar City!

Although due to Bai Yi’s own reasons, the mutant creatures on the mountain dare not overstep their bounds under the Beast King’s constraint, other Lords don’t know that!

It’s still reasonable for territories around White Poplar Mountain to be harassed by mutant creatures within the mountain, right?

No, ordinary harassment is not enough; it’s hard to explain her sudden surge in ranking that way. It has to be at least a beast swarm!

The only thing this plan needs is to find a way to make the other Lords believe it.

After all, if it’s just her claiming there’s a beast swarm, but without any Lords to corroborate, the credibility would be too low.

If you’re going to do it, do the full set: find a way to use Ju’s relationship, plus her own current strength increasing rapidly, even the Beast Kings have to give her some respect.

Then hire a few swarms from the Beast Kings to plunder the Lords around White Poplar Mountain with some compensation.

There’s the loot from the plunder and her own compensation, double benefits; the trade is certainly fair.

As for the compensation, she could use some ordinary crops paired with today’s harvested mutant creatures from Bai Sheng’s hunting team, after all, the cold disaster is fair, and the clans within White Poplar Mountain are equally trapped in hunger.

They lack the foresight to store like Bai Yi does, even if inspired by awakened intelligence to mimic humans; there are no conditions on the mountain, so their storage can’t be much.

Since Bai Yi’s return, the plants cultivated in the instance have also been reintroduced, and all the crops now possess a Transcendent-level cold resistance ability.

More than a week after the onset of the cold disaster, the weather today has been reduced to cold, with no extra moisture to condense snowflakes in the sky. As long as the snow on the ground is shoveled away, they can start planting these cold-resistant crops.

No longer reliant on greenhouses, materials can be reclaimed earlier, and that small plain can be fully utilized as farmland for the territory.

As long as Bai Yi matures a batch temporarily, food is completely not a problem.

In this way, as long as she proclaims the beast swarm at White Poplar Mountain in the chat channels ahead of time and gets corroboration from other victimized Lords, the plan is foolproof.

She could also sell some specialties in small quantities to reinforce her image as a Plant Series Lord, like tree fruit or Crystal Rice...

No, that’s too revealing; she must handle it carefully, especially the Crystal Rice which can directly grow into plants when planted in the ground.

Though that would forcibly consume all the nutrients in the soil, even actively absorb life from surrounding living beings, and most likely end up dying due to insufficient nutrients.

But Crystal Rice won’t just sell a grain or two; anyone determined can figure out how to cultivate it, which is very unstable.

However, who is Bai Yi? A true [Pharmacist]!

As long as everything is made into potions, no one can guess the ingredients, and the effects are even better, fetching a higher price.

As for why sell, what to exchange for?

Bai Yi didn’t think about it; she just enjoys the process of making good things and then selling them.

She’s not lacking anything right now...

Well, maybe she could ask them to pay more attention to novel creatures and plants, make an announcement, and as long as it’s a new species, they can exchange it for a potion.

Bai Yi thought that maybe many Lords would use dungeon tickets to go to other worlds; having such bait dangling, she could get other Lords to help her look out for special new creatures.

With a rough idea in mind, Bai Yi packed all her thoughts together and threw them onto the Swarm Network to Shang Ji.

Business matters are still best handled by professionals.

"Um, I hope Shang Ji isn’t too busy; otherwise, should I start thinking about creating some body-strengthening, mind-refreshing potions?"

Bai Yi suddenly realized that ever since she brought back Shang Ji, it seems she’s always been assigning him tasks, one after another.

She silently repented for a second for her actions and couldn’t help but marvel at how useful Shang Ji really is!

I hope Shang Ji is alright.jpg

Okay, repentance over~

Bai Yi quickly supplemented Shang Ji with the necessary territorial permissions, allowing him to collect information in the channels on his own, confirm prices, and use it as encouragement.

Even the donkeys of the production team aren’t as laid back as you; aren’t you going to work? .jpg

But thinking about potions, Bai Yi realized she didn’t have any containers to store them in, like test tubes or flasks, even if she managed to craft potions, she couldn’t just use iron cans, right?

Even the iron cans, the territory didn’t have.

It was only because Nong Er took some time to craft some iron pots and pans during Bai Yi’s absence that the territory got rid of the old tableware obtained through trades.

"Troublesome..."

So now was the need for a glass factory; hopefully, there was someone within the Sanctuary skilled in glassmaking.

She packaged this requirement as well and tossed it to Nong Er, who, as the territory’s craftsman, was currently responsible for all construction and crafting affairs in the territory.

Bai Yi felt more and more that throwing all industry to the other side of the river was the right choice, if it were in her own territory she wouldn’t be so generous, lacking anything and just hitting the factory.

As for selling potions, of course, that will be considered after making it onto the list.

And with the identity of a pharmacist, I can further appear harmless.

I’m just an ordinary pharmacist after all, lacking their formidable combat power.jpg

Now that I’ve decided to sell potions, I plan to spend the next period using the materials I currently have to concoct some useful potions.

The knowledge endowed by [Pharmacist] mostly involves potions made from supernatural plants.

But cultivating supernatural plants is too troublesome; although there are relics that can speed up the process, once they are used up, cultivation can only be done through rituals with ordinary plants to slowly enhance them.

The speed is just too slow.

In comparison, using readily available materials from my own territory is much more cost-effective.

Plus, I need to consider the degradation of potions, reserving the best effects for my own people and selling the slightly less effective ones.

Only two days are left for Cycle Challenge, so I must act quickly.

Thinking of this, Bai Yi assigned the task of finding the orange cat to the Insect Swarm, asking them to leave the territory and find the wayward orange cat, ready to let Ju, who is more familiar with the three Beast Kings, to negotiate with the Beast Kings.

I then took out the Pharmacist Set brought from the instance and started to research potions using various materials in the territory.

.........

On the south bank of the Red River, "Eternal Life City"

Watching the plaque with the words "Eternal Life City" being hung up by the efforts of the people and the Insect Swarm, Director Hong smiled and clapped along with everyone, but he sighed deeply in his heart.

"Shang Ji indeed has good tactics, personally inviting me over to participate in this ceremony, is to let me personally acknowledge, to completely bury the history that once belonged to White Poplar Sanctuary as its former director.

Having come to a new city, given a new name, I fear no one will ever mention the name of White Poplar Sanctuary again..."

Sanctuary... now it should be called "Eternal Life City," where the new administrative institution of Eternal Life City has already been established.

He, Tan Shidao, Shang Ji, a few women from Fan Mao’s territory, along with the representative of the Insect Clan, formed the Eternal Life City Council, responsible for deciding on most internal affairs of the city.

And that mysterious "Fan Mao" retains an absolute veto, possessing the power to forcefully take over the council.

Yes, he ultimately gave up the control rights over this new city that he initially had in the conditions.

After coming here last night, he didn’t sleep a wink and finally came to terms with it.

Now that he has moved under the watchful eyes of "Fan Mao," he no longer harbors any hope.

The Sanctuary is no longer the same Sanctuary, and in the current territory, both order and prestige, the former residents of the Sanctuary acknowledge "Fan Mao" more than him, the former director.

Furthermore, the absolute power of the Insect Clan was the reason that ultimately led him to give up.

Since the Insect Swarm is already the de facto ruler, it’s pointless to cling to the nominal power in the name of that condition.

After all, it ultimately depends on the Insect Swarm, the will of "Fan Mao," who has yet to show his face; it would be better to graciously relinquish the title.

Although Shang Ji and those women loyal to "Fan Mao" seem to be friendly and do not make things difficult for him, he knows that if he ever did something to hinder "Fan Mao," they would definitely not show mercy.

He doesn’t want to end up like Tan Shidao and the others.

During the first meeting today, he noticed something off about Tan Shidao.

In just one night, Tan Shidao had become completely loyal to "Fan Mao," his words never straying from the "great Insect Clan Queen."

Commander Hong was certain that Tan Shidao wasn’t pretending but was wholeheartedly serving "Fan Mao."

He also noticed that several Broken Army Level Superpower Users who should have died that night, including the one who stood by Tan Shidao’s side, were all just like Tan Shidao!

They had completely forgotten the fact that they were once prisoners and had wholly joined the Insect Clan as though...

Just like a more powerful individual within the Insect Swarm...

Right, an individual.

In Commander Hong’s view, they were no longer human but insects in human skin, just like those outside.

They seem to be individual entities, yet lack self-awareness, seemingly forming a vast individual unseen...

Their behavior sends chills down Commander Hong’s spine, afraid that he too would lose himself like them.

"Councilman Hong, aren’t you leaving? The ceremony has ended."

Commander... Councilman Hong then realized that the people who had been by his side were already ahead, walking into the city.

And the one left to remind him was Tan Shidao!

Seeing the smile identical to Shang Ji’s on Tan Shidao’s face, Councilman Hong forced a smile.

"I’m just a bit too tired, I’m leaving now."

He took one last look at the huge Banyan Tree across the river, sighed deeply in his heart, and followed the crowd into the city, to join the celebration of the establishment of Eternal Life City.

Spiritual Blood (Tier 3/Gold): A potion optimized many times. Although its effects have been significantly weakened, its taste is more acceptable. It instantly restores 500 Magic Power Value, increases Magic Power recovery speed by 200%, temporarily increases Life Value ceiling by 100%, recovering 10 Life Value points per second, lasting for one hour, but if the Constitution attribute is below 50, forcibly reduces 20% of current Life Value, up to 100 points...
