"I don't know."

The Pharmacist answered calmly, without the slightest hesitation.

Recalling his actions on the land of Terra, Huang Cao hesitated for a moment before ultimately refusing the opportunity to unseal his full power.

Facing the young man's choice, the Pharmacist also revealed a gratified smile. He then removed an eyeball from his arm and tossed it to the other party across the vast, boundless expanse of the universe.

This time, it was not blocked by some mysterious force.

"This object is a part of my body. If you encounter danger in that world, you can break free from your limitations by visualizing this object in your mind and crushing it with your thoughts."

"Growth must be built upon existence."

As expected of a... Star God, so thoughtful!

Although Huang Cao didn't quite grasp the concept of a Star God, he knew it was powerful, and that was enough!

"It's getting late, and you should return to reality. However, there's one more thing, and I don't know if you're aware of it."

"You may speak freely."

"I can only transmit power to you through a special channel. This channel is not a product of our universe; it's more like a power that already exists within your body."

A power that already existed within my body...

So it wasn't you, Pharmacist, who sent me to another world!

But it didn't matter. Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. I don't even know who or what it is, so there's no need to worry about its existence.

So, eat when I should eat, drink when I should drink, and keep a stable mindset.

After bidding farewell to the Pharmacist, the scene in Huang Cao's eyes changed rapidly, and his consciousness instantly returned to the land of Terra.

Please vote for me, thank you everyone!

Chapter 43: Warfarin Initiated a Duel Invitation and Was Successfully Defeated

"I'm back, my fellow countrymen! I've missed you all so much!"

"Come, come, I've brought you some special products from Victoria, fragrant and rich coffee and black tea..."

"Although the black tea that the upper-class nobles in Victoria drink is also imported from Yan Country, this stuff, strictly speaking, is a specialty of Yan Country."

After a slight complaint, Huang Cao distributed the special products in his hands to everyone in the territory.

Sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone.

Even though the mercenaries usually appear rough and tough, they actually know how to enjoy themselves. Although most people in Kazdel can't get used to this stuff and usually drink alcohol, it's fine. Drinking tea is better than drinking alcohol.

"Warfarin, why are you dressed so unusually today?"

As soon as he returned and was about to give Warfarin the small gift he had bought, Huang Cao opened the door and was surprised to find that Warfarin's attire seemed to have changed.

The clothes that previously required him to gradually please Warfarin before she would wear them now didn't need any effort.

Huang Cao felt that something was amiss and immediately wanted to question Warfarin, asking if she had bankrupted his territory!

Was she trying to atone for her sins?

"Do you like it? You vulgar person, properly admire the figure of your great Warfarin." Warfarin smiled proudly, a hint of seductive charm in her eyes.

Of course, this was just an act. She simultaneously flicked her finger against the sheer white stockings she was wearing that evening, producing a crisp "snap."

However, the elasticity was poor, and it didn't create any ripples, as Warfarin was quite slender.

"Warfarin, do you know what your actions just now mean to a normal adult male?"

Huang Cao glanced at Kal'tsit, who was standing nearby, signaling her to quickly leave and not disturb his important business!

Kal'tsit understood, gave a slight bow, and quickly closed the door without the slightest hesitation.

However, this was not out of shyness, but simply a desire to avoid trouble.

Having lived for so long, this big green cat wouldn't be flustered by such a small scene.

In fact, if possible, she would even like to carefully observe the differences between this young man and others.

Thirty thousand years of experience wasn't for nothing.

Having stayed here for about a year, she had also gathered a lot of information about Huang Cao, so she was genuinely interested.

But considering that both he and Warfarin seemed to be getting carried away at the moment, and she didn't quite understand Huang Cao's personality.

What if he got tired and asked her to help push things along? That would be incredibly awkward!

Not being shy and being awkward were not mutually exclusive.

After the bothersome person left, Huang Cao looked seriously at Warfarin, who was posing charmingly before him, and said:

"Are you truly ready? Are you truly willing to entrust yourself to me? This is not a joke."

Warfarin was instantly taken aback.

She had originally intended to just showcase her charm tonight and tease him a bit.

But why did things escalate so quickly! I'm not ready!

Huang Cao saw the vampire's stunned expression and immediately understood that the other party was likely joking.

"Forget it, you can keep playing here. I'm going to take stock of the territory's assets."

Even though Warfarin wasn't a major Originium user, it didn't stop her from being very appealing!

But just as he was about to leave, the person behind him started to get displeased.

"You're leaving already? Then I came here for nothing!"

Warfarin bit her lip. Seeing him turn around, her heart suddenly tightened. She quickly got up and leaned her body, which had become somewhat warm, against Huang Cao's back.

"Whatever you want, just ask! Let me see what you've got!"

Warfarin initiated a duel invitation!

Huang Cao accepted the invitation with a resolute expression!

"That's quite a commotion."

Kal'tsit perked up her ears, listening to the sounds upstairs. She removed the veil from her face and washed it thoroughly with the freshly boiled hot water.

It should be over soon.

Kal'tsit had been telling herself this all evening, intending to read a book to pass the noisy time.

However, this time seemed to be dragging on a bit too long.

It goes without saying that one person had an extremely strong recovery ability and practically never stopped.

As for Warfarin, as a member of the Blood Demon race, her recovery was also extremely formidable, and she lived for a very long time...

More importantly, it was both of their first times, like dry tinder meeting a raging fire, exploding at the slightest touch.

They were even the kind that burned the longest. In a sense, these two were a divine combination.

Kal'tsit felt fortunate that she hadn't shamelessly stayed in the room earlier, otherwise the scene would have been even more breathtaking.

Since the castle's soundproofing wasn't very good, the commotion from upstairs continued from night until early morning.

Although Kal'tsit didn't have experience in this area, she could tell from the nonsensical ramblings of a certain vampire lady that she had been defeated in just two hours.

Moreover, Huang Cao kept muttering about defeat cutscenes, so the duel between them never stopped.

However, by noon, the battle between this peculiar pair finally ended, but they were still being clingy with each other.

In fact, their relationship wasn't a secret in the territory. Many people tacitly believed that these two were a couple.

After all, during the ten years of the territory's development, except for the time Huang Cao spent in Victoria.

Otherwise, where Warfarin was, Huang Cao would surely be, and where Huang Cao was, Warfarin would definitely be.

Even Kal'tsit's joining in the middle couldn't shake this pair.

What's more, long ago, they had truly shared the same pants and slept hugging each other, having already achieved cohabitation.

And starting today, they wouldn't even need to wear pants.

The people in the territory were also puzzled as to why their Lord and Lady hadn't officially confirmed their relationship yet.

Since neither had experience in this area, they were both rather slow when it came to feelings.

If Warfarin hadn't been provoked by Kal'tsit before, nothing would have happened last night.

"I hope these two youngsters remember my kindness later for playing matchmaker."

Kal'tsit sighed. Just as she was about to go for a walk, she suddenly heard a loud shout from upstairs.

"Kal'tsit, come upstairs and help me clean the room, thanks!"

After a year of getting along, Kal'tsit knew she could no longer hide it. Her veil wasn't to guard against Warfarin and Huang Cao.

It was to prevent others in the territory from seeing her appearance.

As for why she didn't expose herself, it was simply a matter of mutual benefit.

Warfarin's voice carried a hint of exhaustion and trembling, but it was filled with satisfaction and happiness.

Forget it, hoping these two young ones would remember her kindness was too extravagant.

This was the first time Kal'tsit had been ordered around to do something like this; no one had ever commanded her like this before.

This time, the tables had turned.

Besides, couldn't you two be a little quieter? Young people just don't know restraint.

Upon going upstairs and seeing the messy room, Kal'tsit could only put on her veil and gloves, and tie an aromatherapy sachet to her face, becoming the family's workhorse.

As for the other two, they had already gone out hand-in-hand to patrol the territory, completely ignoring the Kaitian Cat who was silently working behind them.

Chapter 44: Kaztun Development Plan!

So it was time for a grand industrial overhaul. The first industrial plan for our territory officially began.

After a few days of being lovey-dovey, Huang Cao decided to begin his territory's industrialization reform.

The industrial raw materials were already in place, with mineral and plant resources fully stocked.

Technology isn't an issue either; the Originium database is full of it.

If the high-end stuff can't be used, there's always the low-end, right?

Besides, the supplies he brought over from Victoria weren't just raw materials; they included an entire basic steel production line.

While this production line is practically commonplace in Victoria, its advantages lie in its low cost and large quantity.

However, this production line is a bit peculiar because it's powered by Originium Arts, with numerous magic arrays carved into it.

With the enhancement of these magic arrays, this type of machine has extremely high steel refining efficiency, but any user who touches the machine could immediately become an Infected.

Ordinary people could die on the spot within days, and strictly speaking, it's a product that has been phased out.

But it doesn't matter, as Originium is practically non-existent in Huang Cao's territory.

If the machine dares to leak Originium energy, Huang Cao will immediately absorb it completely.

Moreover, living in Eden, under the radiance of the Golden Giant Tree, the Originium content in the residents' blood will gradually decrease, and their resistance to Originium infection will be strengthened.

Kal'tsit's main purpose for being here is to figure out exactly how Huang Cao managed this.

This production line is currently only coveted by Kazdel and some small countries that haven't yet entered industrial society.

Huang Cao doesn't necessarily not want to acquire an advanced production line, but the more advanced it is, the more difficult it is to operate.

Everything must be done step by step.

Look at the culture of the people in his territory; they are basically equivalent to having completed preschool education, not much different from a certain future foul-mouthed cockroach.

Even though they can read and write after years of education, operating precision machinery is still somewhat difficult for them.

It's not that a simple production line is unusable; in fact, it's even easier to use, as there's no entry barrier.

The operator only needs to know how to pull levers, observe the gears' operation, and move things.
