Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 201 - 159: Ten Days Later! The Change in Yang City_2

Chapter 201: Chapter 159: Ten Days Later! The Change in Yang City_2

Of course, there had been dangerous moments, but with a single phone call, he could send the Mutated Eagle to the rescue, and it could arrive within 10 minutes to any surrounding city, so there wasn’t too much to worry about.

...

Days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, 10 days had gone by.

It could be said that these were the most comfortable 10 days he had experienced since his rebirth.

With his own strength increasing and the continuous expansion of the Dragon Hall, he no longer had to live in constant fear like when he had just been reborn.

Now, he only had two concerns. The first, of course, was the Forbidden Area of Small Phoenix Mountain.

However, that place was bombarded daily by the military, and describing its expansion as slow as a turtle would not be an exaggeration.

In 10 days’ time, it had only expanded by 480 meters, not even reaching 500 meters.

Thus, there was no need to worry about the Forbidden Area issue for the time being.

The other matter that concerned Ye Feng was his family.

As Chen Dalong’s control over the Mad Dragon Security Company continued to strengthen, bringing more financial resources, status, and social standing, Ye Feng could now take better care of his family through Chen Dalong’s help.

His father, Ye Xiangfeng’s workplace, was a clothing company of moderate scale.

Five days ago, when Chen Dalong had ample funds on hand, Ye Feng had him spend 10 million Huaxia currency to acquire 51% of the company’s shares, becoming the largest shareholder.

Then, his father was directly promoted to department manager, with full benefits provided.

Together with the 1 million Huaxia currency compensation from the insurance company, this was more than enough for his family to live a prosperous life.

As for meeting his family, it wasn’t that Ye Feng hadn’t thought about it.

But he quickly dismissed the idea, after all, he could not reveal the truth to his parents at this time.

Approaching them in any other way was also unnecessary.

After all, his parents had only just recently started to recover from the grief of his "death".

As long as he didn’t disturb their sensitive nerves, their life should continue to improve.

Of course, he still preserved his human body and nourished it daily with spiritual energy, and when he found a way to revive himself, it wouldn’t be too late to return to them.

With the help of the system and his own continuous strengthening, Ye Feng believed that as long as he became powerful enough in the future, resurrection from death might not be impossible.

"Looking at the time, it should almost be here!"

Ye Feng extended his spiritual power toward the valley entrance and indeed spotted a military jeep speeding along the distant road.

Seeing this scene, Ye Feng immediately switched to Avatar Status with the Mutated Parrot and headed to the entrance of the valley to welcome the arrival.

No sooner had Ye Feng landed than he saw Zhang Ji getting out of the vehicle with several guards and quickly approaching him.

"Eh! You don’t seem to be in very high spirits today!" Ye Feng said with some surprise.

Having had four more subordinates that could break through on their own, Ye Feng started purchasing their species to quickly help them form a team as well.

The Mutated Honey Badger wasn’t much of an issue due to its small size, so the price wasn’t too high, ranging between 500,000 and 1 million Huaxia currency.

However, the prices for the Mutated Giant Panda, Mutated Tiger, and Mutated Lion were frightening.

The Mutated Tiger and Mutated Lion didn’t come any cheaper than 3 million.

As for the Giant Panda, it goes without saying, being rare and having the status of a national treasure, it started at a minimum of 10 million Huaxia currency.

This was still in an era of global catastrophe; otherwise, it would have been impossible to buy them during peaceful times.

So much so that in the past 10 days, to provide for them, Ye Feng had made two more transactions with Yang City Official, selling them 20 Evolution Fruits.

Of course, using the 60 million Huaxia currency that came in, he had bought 8 tigers, 8 lions, and 20 honey badgers.

And today, it was time for another trade. He planned to buy 3 Giant Pandas as soon as the money came in, after all, he couldn’t favor some over others.

However, every time it came to a trade like this, Zhang Ji’s face was usually unable to hide his smile.

But today was out of the ordinary, as the other party’s brow couldn’t help but furrow, as if they had encountered some insurmountable problem.

However, based on his understanding, Yang City had developed quite rapidly over the past 10 days.

First was the defensive wall, which was finally completed yesterday, Although it took a total of 12 days, finishing before the mutated insect crisis erupted could be counted as a victory.

Besides the defensive wall, Yang City was seeing a large influx of outsiders every day, and within just 10 days, the population had grown from an initial 5 million to 7 million.

In addition, during this period, Yang City continuously attracted investments, displaying a prosperity that seemed even more exaggerated than in peacetime.

As for the military, according to what he learned, the number of formal soldiers had expanded from the original 10,000 to 50,000.

Although 40,000 of them were new recruits, but after the mutated being crisis and ten days of intensive training, they had formed a basic combat power.

At the very least, positioning them on the defense wall to hold off mutated insects shouldn’t pose any problem.

So, Ye Feng really couldn’t figure out what could make the other party so dejected.

Upon hearing the mutated parrot’s question, Zhang Ji couldn’t help but give a bitter smile, "Because of the Spirit Fruit issue, ah!"

"Hmm?" Ye Feng’s head slowly floated up a question mark.

"We previously thought that the Spirit Fruit was too useful, just one could allow a superhuman to break through two minor boundaries in succession."

"But after superhumans reached the Second Stage, it actually took two Spirit Fruits to advance a single minor boundary."

"The effects of your Spirit Fruits are really diminishing later on!" Zhang Ji remarked with a tone of light complaint.

They were overjoyed when they had continuously acquired Spirit Fruits before!

They directly formulated a plan to cultivate strong individuals.

The content was straightforward, which was to raise all the individuals in the top 10 of the superhuman rankings to the Third Order, so that they wouldn’t be so disadvantaged in terms of top-notch strength.

In the beginning, thanks to the power of the Spirit Fruits, the training progress was lightning fast.

The first two batches of 20 Spirit Fruits had raised all the top 10 superhumans to the Second Stage.

However, when they bought 10 more Spirit Fruits last time, hoping to swiftly produce a few Third Order superhumans, they found the situation had changed.

It actually required a full two Spirit Fruits to breakthrough to a minor boundary.

At that moment, they even doubted whether the batch of Spirit Fruits sold to them by the Dragon Hall was fake.

But when they brought in the First Order superhuman ranked 11th and had them consume it, they quickly found that this individual managed to breakthrough two minor boundaries in quick succession.

It was only then that they realized their initial thoughts were somewhat naive.

If it took 2 Spirit Fruits to breakthrough one minor boundary, then a superhuman would need a full 8 Spiritual Fruits to go from the Second Stage to the Third Order.

With such high consumption, it was clearly unrealistic for them to swiftly cultivate a batch of Third Order superhumans.

Hearing Zhang Ji speak like this, Ye Feng rolled his eyes, not impressed, "It’s not that the Spirit Fruit’s effect is poor, it’s just that you guys didn’t understand the difficulty of advancing through each rank."

"It is inherently more difficult to improve as you reach higher ranks, and the difficulty of advancing to the Second Stage is actually quite low already, with just two Spirit Fruits required to upgrade a minor boundary."

"Wait until you reach the Third Order, and you’ll find that you need 12 Spiritual Energy Fruits to advance a minor boundary."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ji felt his scalp tingle instantly; staring at the mutated parrot in front of him, seeing that it wasn’t joking at all, he couldn’t help but swallow.

"No way! Then how did you manage to advance so quickly?" Zhang Ji asked, somewhat incredulous.

Each emissary of the Dragon Hall was on their important watch list.

Like this mutated parrot in front of him, it had already been at the Third Order when they started building the wall.

But every few days, its size would significantly increase, clearly showing that it was still rapidly breaking through after reaching the Third Order.

And it was not just the mutated parrot; the other emissaries were doing the same.

If reaching the Third Order required 12 Spirit Fruits to break through each boundary, then to sustain so many mutated beings at the same time, how many Spirit Fruits would that require?
