I didn't know.
Yaoshi answered calmly, without a trace of hesitation.
Recalling everything he had done on Terra's land, Huang Cao hesitated for a while before ultimately rejecting the chance to unseal all his power.
Faced with the boy's choice, Yaoshi also revealed a gratified smile. She plucked an eyeball from her own arm and tossed it across the vast, boundless expanse of space toward him.
This time, however, it wasn't stopped by some mysterious force.
This object is a part of my body. If you encounter danger in that world, visualize its appearance in your mind, then crush it with your thoughts to break your own restrictions.
So-called growth must be built upon existence.
As expected of a... Star God. She really thought of everything!
Although Huang Cao had no idea what exactly a Star God was, being powerful was all that mattered!
It was getting late. You should return to reality, but there's one more thing. I wonder if you know about it.
"Go ahead."
I can transmit power to your side through a special channel, but this channel isn't a product of our universe. It seems to be a power that was originally present in your body.
The power that was originally in my body...
So it wasn't you, Yaoshi, who sent me across worlds!
But it didn't matter. Since he was already here, he might as well settle down. He didn't even know who was responsible, so there was no need to trouble himself over its existence.
So he would eat when he should eat and drink when he should drink. He had to keep a steady mindset.
After bidding Yaoshi farewell, the scene before Huang Cao's eyes changed rapidly, and his consciousness instantly returned to Terra's land.
Please give me some votes, everyone. Thank you!
Chapter 43: Warfarin Issued a Duel Challenge and Successfully Lost
"I'm back, everyone! I missed you all so much!"
"Come, come, I brought everyone some special products from Victoria: rich, aromatic coffee and black tea...
"Although the black tea drunk by Victoria's upper-class nobles is also imported from Yan Country, strictly speaking, this thing is a specialty of Yan Country."
After making a few jokes, Huang Cao distributed the special products in his hands to everyone in the territory.
Sharing joy was better than enjoying it alone.
Don't be fooled by how rough and burly the mercenaries looked usually. They knew how to enjoy themselves too. Although most people in Kazdel couldn't get used to this stuff and normally drank alcohol instead,
it didn't matter. Drinking tea was still better than drinking alcohol.
"Warfarin, why are you dressed so unusually today?"
As soon as he returned to his room and opened the door to give Warfarin the small gift he had bought, he suddenly noticed that her clothes seemed to have changed completely.
Clothes he had previously needed to coax Warfarin into wearing little by little were now being worn without any effort at all.
Huang Cao felt that something abnormal had to be going on. He immediately wanted to demand whether Warfarin had bankrupted his territory.
Was she trying to atone for it this way?
"Do you like it? You vulgar man, admire the figure of Lady Warfarin properly." Warfarin smiled smugly, a hint of seductiveness appearing in her eyes.
Of course, she was only putting on an act. At the same time, she flicked a finger against the thin white stockings she had just put on that evening. The snap was exceptionally crisp.
However, the elasticity was lacking, and no ripples appeared. Warfarin was still rather slender, after all.
"Warfarin, do you know what your behavior just now means to a normal adult man?"
Huang Cao glanced at Kal'tsit standing nearby, signaling for her to hurry out and stop interfering with his serious business!
Kal'tsit understood immediately. She lowered her head slightly in a bow, then hurriedly closed the door behind her without the slightest hesitation.
But that wasn't because she was shy. She simply didn't want to invite trouble.
Having lived for so long, Green Big Cat wasn't about to blush over such a little scene.
If possible, she even wanted to carefully observe what made this boy different from other people.
A face that had endured thirty thousand years wasn't for show.
She had been here for a year and had obtained a great deal of information about Huang Cao, so she was genuinely interested.
But considering that both this fellow and Warfarin were somewhat worked up, and that she didn't know Huang Cao's personality very well,
what if they got tired and asked her to help push a few times? Wouldn't that be awkward?
Not being shy and being awkward were separate matters. The two did not conflict.
After the person in the way left, Huang Cao looked seriously at Warfarin, whose posture was extremely alluring, and said:
"Are you really prepared? Are you truly willing to entrust yourself to me? This isn't a joke."
Warfarin was instantly at a loss for words.
She had originally planned to show off her charm that evening, seduce him a little, and leave it at that.
But why had things suddenly progressed so quickly? I'm not ready yet!
Seeing the vampire's dumbfounded expression, Huang Cao immediately understood that she had probably only been joking.
"Forget it. Keep playing here. I'm going to check the territory's assets."
Although Warfarin wasn't the owner of Da Lei, that didn't stop her from being very attractive!
But just as he was about to leave, the person in question behind him became dissatisfied.
"You're leaving just like that? Then wouldn't I have come here for nothing?"
Warfarin lightly bit her lip. When she saw him turn around, her heart suddenly tightened. She swiftly rose and pressed her already feverish body against Huang Cao's back.
"Come and take whatever you want! Let me see what you're capable of!"
Warfarin issued a duel challenge!
Huang Cao accepted the challenge with a resolute expression!
"That's quite a commotion."
Kal'tsit raised the two ears atop her head and listened to the noise upstairs. She removed the veil from her face and thoroughly washed it with the hot water she had just boiled.
It should be over soon.
Kal'tsit kept telling herself that throughout the evening, intending to read for a while and peacefully pass the noisy period.
As it turned out, the period seemed to be a little too long.
There was naturally no need to mention Huang Cao. His body's recovery ability was extraordinarily strong, and he basically never stopped.
As for Warfarin, as a member of the Blood Demon race, her recovery ability was also extremely powerful, and she had lived for a very long time...
More importantly, it was the first time for both of them. They were dry kindling meeting raging fire, exploding on contact.
They were even the most fire-resistant kind. In a certain sense, the two of them were a truly miraculous pairing.
Kal'tsit was glad that she hadn't shamelessly stayed in the room just now. Otherwise, the scene would certainly have been even more shocking.
Because the castle's soundproofing was nothing special, the noise overhead continued from evening until early morning.
Kal'tsit had no experience in this area, but judging from the delirious nonsense coming from one certain vampire lady, she had apparently lost after only two hours.
Moreover, Huang Cao kept muttering something about a defeat CG, so the duel between the two never stopped.
However, by noon, the bizarre pair's battle finally ended, though they continued acting lovey-dovey upstairs.
Their relationship wasn't exactly a secret in the territory. In fact, many people tacitly believed that the two were a couple.
After all, during the ten years of the territory's development, apart from Huang Cao's time in Victoria,
wherever Warfarin was, Huang Cao was sure to be there, and wherever Huang Cao was, Warfarin was sure to be there too.
Even Kal'tsit's joining halfway through hadn't been enough to shake the pair.
What was more, the two had already, in the truest sense, been wearing the same pants for a long time. They even slept while embracing each other and had long since begun living together.
And starting today, they didn't even need to wear pants anymore.
The people in the territory were also puzzled. Why had their lord and lady still not made their relationship official?
Since neither had any experience in this area, both of them were rather slow when it came to romance.
If Warfarin hadn't been provoked by Kal'tsit earlier, nothing might even have happened last night.
"I hope that after playing matchmaker once, these two young people will remember my kindness."
Kal'tsit sighed. Just as she was about to go out 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 together, Kal'tsit had long known that she could no longer keep her identity hidden. Her veil wasn't meant to guard against Warfarin and Huang Cao.
It was to keep the other people in the territory from recognizing her appearance.
As for why they hadn't exposed her, they were simply taking what they needed from each other.
Warfarin's voice carried a trace of fatigue and tremulousness, but it was filled with satisfaction and joy.
Forget it. Expecting those two youngsters to remember her kindness was simply too much.
This was the first time Kal'tsit had been ordered around to do something like this. No one had ever commanded her this way before.
This was what it meant for the wheel of fortune to turn.
Besides, could you two keep it down a little? Young people really had no restraint.
After going upstairs and seeing the room in complete disarray, Kal'tsit could only put on her veil and gloves. She also tied an air freshener over her face and became this family's overworked servant.
As for the other two, they had already gone out hand in hand to inspect the territory. They would never spare a thought for Kaitian Cat, who was silently working hard behind them.
Chapter 44: Kaztun Development Plan!
So it was time for a grand industrial transformation. The first industrial plan belonging to our territory had officially begun.
After the two spent several days being lovey-dovey, Huang Cao decided to begin industrializing and transforming his territory.
The industrial raw materials were already in place, with mineral and plant resources fully stockpiled.
Technology wasn't a problem either. The Originium Database contained a huge amount of it.
If the advanced stuff was unusable, wasn't there still the basic stuff?
Moreover, the supplies he had transported from Victoria consisted of more than raw materials. He had even brought back an entire basic steelmaking production line.
Although this production line was practically ubiquitous in Victoria, its advantages were that it was cheap and available in huge quantities.
However, this production line was somewhat mystical, because it was powered by Originium Arts and covered in a large number of magic arrays.
With the arrays' enhancement, the machine's steelmaking efficiency was extremely high. But if an operator merely touched the machine, they might immediately become Infected.
An ordinary person might drop dead after using it for a few days. Strictly speaking, it was an obsolete product.
But it didn't matter. On Huang Cao's own territory, Originium was basically nonexistent.
If the machine dared to leak Originium energy, Huang Cao could immediately absorb it all.
Moreover, living in Eden under the illumination of the Golden Giant Tree gradually reduced the Originium content in the residents' blood and strengthened their resistance to Originium infection.
Kal'tsit's main purpose in staying here was to figure out exactly how Huang Cao accomplished this.
At present, only Kazdel and a few small countries that had not yet entered industrial society would consider this production line valuable.
It wasn't that Huang Cao didn't want to obtain an advanced production line, but the more advanced it was, the harder it would be to operate.
Everything had to proceed step by step.
Just look at the culture of the people in his territory. They had basically graduated from prenatal education, and they weren't much different from a certain foul-mouthed cockroach in the future.
Although years of education had enabled them to read, having them operate precise machinery was still somewhat difficult.
The production line being simple didn't mean it couldn't be used. It might even be easier to use, since it had no entry threshold.
The operator only needed to know how to pull the levers, watch the gears' operation, and move things around.
