Chapter 173: Chapter 87: Nuclear Children’s Toys

"But these rice grains do not have reproductive capabilities. Perhaps it’s because most of the nutrients have been transformed into the grains themselves, which occupied the function originally meant for reproduction. I am still working on solving this issue.

Currently, these rice varieties can only be cultivated by me using my superpower.

Thus, this rice will be sold by the ton. Do not worry, the price will not be too high; you can trust me on that.

However, this price is already the lowest necessary, after all, I cannot contribute for free. This also consumes my magic power and time, and to provide such an amount of rice grains, I need to spend half a day on this.

Although I have a way to quickly recover my magic power, what I will be offering is for nearly 400 Lords in White Poplar City!"

Bai Yi’s reasons seemed sufficient, but not everyone was fully convinced.

As for issues like rice not having the ability to propagate, who knows whether it’s really the case or deliberately cultivated to be so.

Just like before coming to this game, those hybrid rice varieties also faced similar issues.

The first planting could still maintain a high yield, but using it as seeds for the second season’s planting would lead to significantly reduced output and degradation.

But after all, they neither possess plant-related superpowers nor understand biology to grasp the essentials; maybe products from transcendent origins really have such peculiarities, and they can only tentatively take it as true.

However, to say that Fan Mao truly needs half a day to cultivate these rice seeds, they absolutely did not believe it.

Fan Mao definitely has ways to produce them in bulk!

But for the same reason, as it is currently Fan Mao’s seller’s market, they don’t have a second option.

Of course, it’s also because Fan Mao has already provided enough trust in the past, believing that Fan Mao will not set too high a price.

"I accept."

"No problem at all."

"Since it’s like this, I can also lower the price for the architectural designs of my magic garden, providing some convenience.

However, I hope these rice seeds can be included in our trade."

The latter sentence naturally addressed Bai Yi, who pondered for a moment before responding.

"It’s possible, but I do not need the designs of the magic garden. Let’s discuss the detailed conditions later."

Landon I was immediately delighted, quickly finalizing the arrangement.

This was his method prepared to win over people’s hearts; but since Bai Yi’s rice seeds came first, his magic garden designs paled in comparison and could only serve as an additional flourish.

So, he straightforwardly used it as a condition for future trades for more rice seeds, which was equally valuable for him.

His magic soldiers required a substantial amount of food, and before the cold disaster, he sustained the number of magic soldiers by hunting high-quality mutant creatures.

Furthermore, before his stock was depleted by the upcoming cold disaster, he entered an instance and brought back lots of high-quality food from the instance.

Now as his soldiers became more high-tier, the demands for food sharply increased, making Fan Mao’s substantial food resources even more valuable.

Though there’s a saying that while others hoard food and you hoard weapons, others can just turn into your granaries, the problem is that Fan Mao’s granary is wrapped in a fortress, and his few weapons aren’t even remotely enough.

Fortunately, Fan Mao seemed easy to negotiate with. As long as he is willing to pay, Fan Mao is willing to trade.

In fact, he was even more eager to use this opportunity to further engage with Fan Mao, hoping to trade for even higher-tier food crops, so he agreed so quickly when Bai Yi proposed further negotiation.

Even if it’s the same type of one-time seeds, he accepted it.

But the problem is, this kind of one-sided trade is too disadvantageous for him; the species and knowledge of magical creatures are limited, while the demand for the rice seeds is nearly endless.

Should he expose his own Lord Talent to trade with Fan Mao?

Landon thought that no Lord could refuse his Lord Talent.

But of course, this would not be discussed here, but rather when everything ended and detailed talks were to be held.

Taking advantage of his momentum in achieving another trade, Bai Yi again proposed to sell her potions, presenting bottles of pre-prepared potions, sharing their panel information and prices set for business opportunities.

Since bulk quantities of rice seeds had already been handled earlier, the potions Bai Yi planned to sell this time did not include any low-tier ones, but only powerful potions of tier 3 and 4.

And even more powerful tier 5 potions, Bai Yi kept back, not bringing them out.

After all, Bai Yi currently had no means to mass-produce potions nor train professional pharmacists, and the production of low-tier potions required her to manually make them, nearly the same yield as high-tier potions.

But the best of Bai Yi’s batches couldn’t possibly be released for sale, so the most cost-effective to sell were only the Tier 4 and Tier 3 potions.

These were aimed at the top Lords present who already had the capability to enter the instance and encounter various exotic creatures.

Once released, several potions were immediately welcomed by everyone; even Iron Blood, who had almost turned the venue into Bai Yi’s home turf, was content after being gifted a Tier 4 Gold potion by Bai Yi.

However, not many transactions were ultimately made, as several Lords were not used to collecting live specimens; they could only place reservations first, and trade with corresponding materials when entering the instance next time.

Especially the weakest among them, Anonymous, even though he could see more with his Lord Talent, had absolutely nothing he could offer and had to remain just a spectator throughout.

Only Jun Lin, who was present, brought out numerous live fairy grass plants, along with several plants unique to his Immortal Cultivation World instance, which cleared out Bai Yi’s potion inventory.

After Bai Yi finished his transactions, he remained uninvolved with the remaining details and pushed Shang Ji to take charge of the subsequent conference with other Lords.

After two important issues were resolved, the rest were minor details; the small meeting concluded quickly, moving to another conference site that had already been prepared.

After that, Bai Yi did not participate in the large meeting; intrigued by the small meeting but dreading facing so many Lords and potential social interactions in the large meeting, he backed off, leaving everything to Shang Ji.

Meanwhile, the Tree-man stayed behind as a mascot, his main consciousness returning to his body, beginning preparations for the sale of disposable rice seeds.

It wasn’t until the evening, after the conference ended, that Bai Yi received the contest records from Shang Ji, skimmed through the key points, and couldn’t help but reflect:

"There really are quite a few powerful Lords in hiding..."

Those Lords who had stayed anonymous and did not attend the meeting showed up later at the large meeting, unanimously disregarding Iron Blood’s arrangements and preferring to hunt Mutant Creatures their own way.

Their demand wasn’t too much; they obviously guessed Iron Blood’s plan, only wanting more freedom. Since the secret wasn’t pierced, Iron Blood let them be.

It was all in Iron Blood’s plan, but what really surprised him was a Tier 2 Lord.

Likewise, wanting the treatment of ranked Lords, desiring protection but not constraint.

Yet being only a Tier 2 Lord, Iron Blood of course wouldn’t indulge him; however, Iron Blood soon learned the source of his confidence.

It was a small Firecracker missile, about 3.7 meters long, weighing approximately 4.5 tons, with an explosive yield of about 25 million tons of TNT...

Heaven knows where he got it from!

But once this small Firecracker stood by his side, and he held a red button with an antenna in his hand, Iron Blood had to admit, he was intimidated...

No need to mention that he also claimed to have a corresponding launch well, though its authenticity was unknown, the Firecracker was indeed recognized by the panel.

And to say more, Iron Blood could editorialize no longer; this Firecracker intimidated everyone.

Even hours later, Bai Yi, located in his territory, felt a chill in his heart, wondering what would happen if the nuclear bomb were used to attack him.

However, upon seeing Shang Ji’s handling of the situation, Bai Yi felt relieved and continued reading.

Iron Blood’s dignity was struck twice, yet it revealed opportunities to others.

Several Lords, used to hunting other Lords for rapid growth, were not willing to give up this quick enhancement method, openly clamoring.

They also had some confidence; having just advanced to Tier 3 a few days ago, they were now almost equivalent to a late-stage Tier 3 Lord. If ignoring various hidden means, their paper strength was nearly approaching that of Jun Lin and Iron Blood.

More unexpectedly, an Anonymous ranked Lord publicly supported them; having a backer, they became even more arrogant, even inciting their troops brought from outside, preparing for armed resistance.

This incited malice in many Lords’ hearts, some itching to move, some wanting to join them, and others planning to escape amidst the upcoming chaos.

But Iron Blood was not to be trifed with, directly displaying his Tier 5 methods to kill the chicken to frighten the monkeys, dealing with the supporting Anonymous Lord. Even though there were some Tier 4 hidden measures, they were instantly suppressed.

Having demonstrated his strength and expressed his intention to stop these internal conflicts, it was then Shang Ji and Landon I’s turn to release their news.

Whether it was rice seeds or an almost free Magic Garden, all the Lords were excited.

While Iron Blood had just shown his responsibility, feeding all the Lords a metaphorical chicken soup, Bai Yi and Landon offered tangible benefits.

Originally, the announcement by Landon caused dissatisfaction among those Lords who had already bought the designs, but he immediately announced other designs as compensation, quickly quelling any dissent.

At the end of the meeting, detailed arrangements for hunting locations were assigned to each Lord, marking the conclusion.

Once Bai Yi finished reading Shang Ji’s summary report, a message came through the Swarm Network.

The "Firecracker" Lord had been found.
