Chen Ping's thoughts churned, but Xuan Zi's mood was relatively much calmer.
Everything in Shrek was now developing in a positive direction. The soul guidance devices equipped by Shrek City's defense forces had already been replaced with a new generation, while orders from the Three Great Empires continued pouring in like snowflakes.

It was certainly good that liches could perform the more precise and delicate work of soul tool production, but compared with the boundless undead army, their numbers were actually quite small. The true wealth of the Small World of the Other Shore should be this undead legion that obeyed orders without question.
Mining, metallurgy, nonferrous metals, transportation—these industries all contained a great deal of low-complexity work that required vast numbers of people to fill.
Take mining and metallurgical projects, for instance.
