Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

Chapter 799 487: Territory Development Plan [2/3]

?

"It'll be easier to store them in the future. We exchanged them for rare resources at the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce at a ratio of 200 to 1."

"Forty-thousand units of rare resources per day."

"We have saved 500,000 rare resources while you were away."

"Whitetail Wine. This month's earnings are the same as last month. Three hundred thousand units. Excluding the cost of 50,000, the profit is 250,000 rare resources."

"Desert Crown Honey, a rare resource with a net profit of 500,000."

"I didn't count in the other zeroes and zeroes. The total income from these three big investments is... 1.25 million."

"Eight hundred thousand rare resources still remained in the warehouse, excluding the cost of recruiting soldiers and the expenses of Twilight City."

Richard nodded in satisfaction.

The production of Whitetail Wine depended on the number of white-tailed cats. So they had a fixed rate for the output. The same also happened to the income of Desert Crown Honey.

The Black Sorbet he had high hopes for still brought remarkable results.

They priced these goods at 20 units of ordinary resources. These have brought more profits than a 4-stars wine like the Whitetail Wine.

That was because they hadn't spread and massively produced its main ingredient, the Frost Grass, on a large scale. 

It would be neat to increase the production capacity by ten times when they had filled the designated production area with frost grass.

Richard praised Karu and asked him another question afterward.

"How's the arrangement of the frost grass plantation base, the raw material for the Black Frozen Ice Cream?"

Butler Karu was excited.

"Lord, two bases have completed their construction and will be ready for production soon.

"The frost grass was not difficult to cultivate, although it contains a certain amount of magic power. It could maintain a notable speedy growth rate with sufficient water and fertile land. A seedling only needs two months to grow to a height we can harvest.

"Maintaining fertility would incessantly nourish them. They wouldn't die even if we cut their leaves off. They could recover after two months.

"This is a magical plant that we can repeatedly harvest…Its lifespan is ten years.

"The only limitation is that large-scale planting requires a lot of fertility."

Richard heard this, and a plant suddenly appeared in his mind. 

'Chives.'

The attributes of this frost grass were the same as chives.

Good stuff.

Cutting leeks and whatnot was too riveting.

"We can find some wild beasts or livestock that can eat a lot more to raise as for the fertility of the land. This livestock can also provide the meat needs of the residents of Twilight City…"

That could become an industrial chain.

Karu smiled.

"We're already doing it. I asked Vale a week ago to purchase livestock suitable for breeding in the underworld through Solan City, but we haven't found any suitable for large-scale breeding yet."

Richard nodded. It was okay to mention these trivial matters. Karu and his men would carry out what they needed to do.

"How's the development of the automatic harvester and seeder?"

They would remember the great leap in productivity brought about by modern technology as long as one was a player.

The "Shining Era" had more magic and utterly unreasonable alchemy technology, although its development path was unique. 

It might be arduous to restore the machines on Planet Blue to 100% accuracy because the fundamental rules of the world were different. But changing the method could make them achieve the same effect.

"It's already beginning to take shape. It would take at most a month to take shape," 

Butler Karu said confidently.

Fortress City had become the technological center of Twilight City.

They handed all the tasks related to alchemy technology here.

Richard was quite satisfied with this.

The income from conquering the underworld still made up for Twilight City.

That was very comfortable.

"Currently, the focus of Fortress City should still be on the war resources production. We can push this back slightly, although this research and development is for the future. It wouldn't affect the upcoming war."

Richard's thoughts were clear.

A pronounced change was imminent. Richard and his people should preserve Twilight City. Or it would be futile no matter how bright the future was.

The most important thing now was to gather their strength to deal with the enemy.

"Where are the resources that we have accumulated during this period?"

"We have stored them in the warehouse," Karu replied respectfully.

"So the Lord's Mansion warehouse can no longer hold these resources. Vale submitted a blueprint for the spatial warehouse. He had completed it a week ago."

Richard looked at Karu with admiration.

He valued this old gray-haired man so much.

He could still maintain the positive development of Twilight City and not fall into chaos and confusion when he was away as long as Karu was around.

Karu had absolute control over Twilight City. No one could seize power without his approval. The troops, heroes, residents, and staff were loyal to him.

That was why Richard could boldly vest Karu the power and authority.

"I'll go get it later."

Richard continued.

"Are there still spatial rifts in the desert around Twilight City?"

Karu's face turned grave.

"We have sent out several troops to expand the exploration range to 100 kilometers."

"Only the refugees from the Kingdom of Ell dimension have not found any other spatial rifts."

Richard felt a little more at ease.

He was most worried about the sudden appearance of more than a dozen dimensions around Twilight City.

No one could predict what would happen.

Xina and Dark Valkyrie had already expressed that Krina Tribe suffered from such a situation.
