Chapter 775: Chapter 443: Has This Person Lost Their Mind? _2

“Let’s use the news of the Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree. Recently, the empire is in chaos, and it is rumored that the seed of the Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree has been stolen and disappeared somewhere unknown. We can release several pieces of information, with slight variations in the details and set at different levels, to see which piece of information leaks out.” Dou Peng People said.

Lioado was so shocked that he asked, “Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree? The seed of the Divine Tree that can reach the Starburst Array?”

“Yes, some people already know this, and the infiltrator probably does too. We can use this news to see if we can unearth him.” Dou Peng People replied.

“But… But with such a treasure like the Heaven-Reaching Divine tree, shouldn’t we try to find it? Would spreading fake news affect our chances of retrieving the divine tree seed?” Lioado asked hesitantly.

Dou Peng People said dismissively, “Despite everyone knowing that the seed of Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree possesses infinite vitality, there is no record of anyone successfully germinating it. Its existence is even older than the Starburst Array. The claim that it can grow to reach the Starburst Array is baseless.”

Upon hearing the ‘Seed of Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree’, the three people from Negris thumped their hearts in unison, exchanged a glance, and understood each other’s intentions.

...

Silver coin quickly said: “I will pay attention to the information about the seed and try my best to collect it for the Lord, but before that, let’s not tell him.”

“Right, right, right, this way would be more efficient. For the sake of efficiency, let’s not tell him temporarily and give him a surprise later.” Negris quickly added.

Having agreed on a reasonable ‘excuse’, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Ange didn’t come in this time. Otherwise, with his inexplicable obsession with seeds, he would surely set off in search of it immediately.

…

Ange didn’t follow them in, instead, he returned to the planting sphere next to the dam. He’s not interested in watching any videos, he had already planned what to plant next, one of which was fast-growing radishes, in large quantities, harvesting its leaves, and letting the tuber ripen before feeding them to the silkworm babies.

Since the first generation of silkworm babies, many varieties have been bred. Besides the ones that were carefully selected to feed on World Tree leaves, there are many that eat ordinary plants but are still able to produce strong silk.

While this kind of silk may lack the magical features that come from feeding on World Tree leaves, it grows fast and in large quantities, making it much easier to industrialize.

Nowadays, in Goddess of Beauty City, not only Magic Silks are produced, but various kinds of true silk products are also being produced. These low-end textile products stimulate more employment opportunities, accommodating more job positions, and even bringing in the entirety of Dark City.

Dark City has now become a subsidiary industrial area of the Goddess of Beauty City, housing agriculture, breeding, and textile production, providing jobs for more than a hundred thousand residents of Dark City, granting them a safe and prosperous livelihood.

Ordinary silkworm babies eat anything, but if they don’t eat the right food, the amount of silk they spit will be less. Only by feeding on crops with high sugar content and a lot of fiber can their silk output and quality be optimal.

This information was not identified by Ange but summarized by the sericulturists and textile workers.

Ripe beetroot happens to have high sugar content and plenty of fiber. During the maturing process, the tuber consumes sugar and grows leaves, eventually depleting all the sugar. As long as it’s harvested at the right stage, the ratio of sugar to fiber will be just right.

This is Ange’s specialty, and he quickly adjusted his planting strategy. Fast-growing beetroots were harvested continuously, with the beetroot tops being collected as well.

Labu and the maids found their new jobs— raising silkworms, spinning yarn, and weaving fabric.

With tears of joy, they were grateful for having escaped from death. They not only avoided being silenced but also got to eat fresh vegetables until their faces turned green…

Next, rubber trees should be planted. However, the desert climate is clearly not suitable for growing them. Given Ange’s current conditions, he can’t change the climate here, so that idea is temporarily set aside.

However, cultivating rubber tree seeds in the planting sphere is feasible since its temperature and humidity are perfect for germination. But as they grow large, the space within the sphere will not be sufficient.

Of course, if there was sufficient time and space, several generations of dwarf rubber trees could be cultivated after several generations of selective breeding. But for now, the conditions weren’t right.

Everyone was busy with their own tasks. A month later, Ange discovered that his divine realm was full. It was completely filled with beetroot leaves.

“No way, how many beetroots have you grown? You’ve actually filled up the divine realm?” Negris couldn’t believe it, so he asked Ange to open up his divine realm for him to see.

The moment the divine realm was opened, several bundles of beetroot leaves fell out, hitting Negris square in the face.

…

Silver Coin had never imagined that a city as vast as Northern Wind City could not handle the amount of vegetables grown by a single person. One, the price of fresh vegetables in Northern Wind City is high, which has led to the habit of eating less or no fresh vegetables. Second, Ange’s yield is too high.

With the fast-growing beet varieties, plus Instant Death Halo Stone, Insect Ash Liquid, Little Sapling, and so forth, each one alone is a Divine Artifact, but Ange has piled them all together, so it’s no wonder the output is tremendous.

“Can’t we just lower the prices? After all, the beet leaves are just a byproduct; the main focus is on the beetroot.” Negris asked.

Silver Coin shook his head, as if possessed by an evil spirit of slaughter, “No, no. Unless you want to kill the vegetable industry in Northern Wind City, or if our lord can guarantee a steady supply of fresh vegetables in the future.”

“The city’s vegetable industry mainly relies on purchasing storable varieties like dried radishes. If there are cheap fresh vegetables available, who would buy from them? They would go bankrupt in no time. Bankruptcy is one thing; we can still find some way to settle the hundreds of people involved. But what if our lord stops growing vegetables in the future?”

“Once the city’s vegetable industry goes bankrupt, it would be hard to rebuild it. So, unless our lord can guarantee a steady supply in the future, we can’t engage in price dumping on our own turf,” explained Silver Coin.

Negris perked up, catching on to a keyword, “We can’t do it on our turf? So, we can do it on other people’s turf?”

“Yes, we can go to cities with large vegetable consumption. They can handle this level of supply without causing dumping, and it wouldn’t affect the stability of the business environment. Rapids Fortress is located on the other side of the mountains, and they consume a lot of vegetables. My lord, let’s sell our vegetables in Rapids Fortress,” suggested Silver Coin excitedly.

The business environment in Northern Wind City is terrible, leaving Silver Coin with no room to maneuver. In less than a month, he had already taken over some key industries, and he dared not touch the rest of them.

If all the businesses in a city are controlled by one person, it’s like cutting off the lifeblood of the city, which will gradually wither away. Although monopoly makes a lot of money, it does not create value.

Only a dynamic business environment can quickly gather resources where they will generate the most profit, thereby creating an expansive effect and more efficient value growth.

This added value is the true value of business.

As the God of Fraudsters, Silver Coin had long since gotten over the thrill of earning money through monopolies.

What could Ange do but sigh helplessly? If he doesn’t sell the vegetables, his Divine Realm will be overloaded, and he won’t be able to grow anything else.

What? Throw away the vegetables? Anyone who dared suggest that would get their head blown off by him on the spot. How is that different from setting his fields on fire?

“Going to Rapids Fortress? My lord, take me with you!” Durken quickly volunteered.

He needed to go to Rapids Fortress to purchase some materials. The iron needed for bridge construction was not available in Northern Wind City. Conveniently, after they sold the vegetables, they could use the space in the Divine Realm to transport the iron.

“Me too, me too.” Jilirocks also raised her hand to volunteer. Life in the Northern Wind lands was incredibly dull. If she had the chance to travel a long distance, she certainly wouldn’t want to miss it.

They crossed the valley, traveled along the river, and after more than a hundred kilometers, they finally crossed the mountains, reaching Rapids Fortress on the other side.

But before they could enter Rapids Fortress, they saw many disheveled disaster victims sprawled haphazardly or lying listlessly on the mountain road.

“What happened? Was there a disaster?” Negris was startled.

Seeing Ange and his party, one of the women struggled to get up, pleading softly, “I beg of you all, sell me some food, I have money, I have money.”

As she spoke, she tremblingly pulled out a necklace, on which a green gemstone was inlaid. It emitted a slightly green glow that was flowing ever so steadily.

Little Sapling popped out from Ange’s hat, vigorously waving its True Lea and sending eager messages: “Ya—ya—ya—.”

Unfortunately, the woman could not perceive this kind of spiritual message, and only found it strange why this man’s head sprouted a bud?

PS: Seeking a few monthly tickets for encouragement, I’m a bit weary recently.
