Blessed by Abundance, Scourge of Terra

Of course, that was just a joke. After all, the environments of the two sides were incomparable.

Comparing the environments of Kazdel and Siergrag would be like comparing the physical fitness of a harbor hunter to a battlefield superman.

The former would be down for the count after taking a couple of shots, while the latter would recover from a machine gun burst after a few breaths.

These two games were simply not comparable, and it was hard to even tell which one was the fantasy world.

"This trip has been very fruitful, but it seems I've stayed a bit too long."

Huang Cao muttered to himself. From helping the new nobles succeed in their coup to managing the new territory, he felt like he had been abroad for several months.

Dealing with official documents every day had almost driven him mad; he desperately needed the comfort of a beautiful girl.

Of course, even if the wildflowers outside were fragrant, Huang Cao would only fertilize the flowers in his own garden.

"Pack up your things, it's time to go back."

The next morning, Huang Cao decided to build his first castle on his territory in Victoria and prepare to welcome the new Sarkaz.

After nearly a month of searching, Theresia had finally found several thousand healthy men and women in Kazdel who were not infected with the Originium Infection.

The reason it took a month was that there were indeed more than just these few thousand people in the vast country.

First of all, the number of people in Kazdel not infected with the Originium Infection was very small.

To be precise, there were very few adults who were not infected with the Originium Infection. Coupled with the slow speed of policy dissemination, it took a month.

After the war, the newly born Sarkaz, under Theresia's deliberate care, did not contract the Originium Infection from the start.

However, these people had not yet reached working age, so it was impossible to send them all out.

Therefore, to assemble this group, Theresia had gone to great lengths, almost to the point of exhaustion.

These dispatched Sarkaz, carrying the mission to revitalize Kazdel, unhesitatingly arrived at the border of Victoria.

In fact, more people would come later, about one to two million.

"Theresia probably hasn't become the Philosopher King yet, or perhaps not the fully realized Philosopher King. I hope some of her experiences before this will provide her with a little education."

"As a politician who secures benefits for the country, the first thing one must learn is shamelessness, to unhesitatingly seek benefits for one's people. At least, from what I see now, this woman is quite interesting."

In the story, Silver Ash didn't have much dignity when he first started out; it was common for him to drink until he vomited just to socialize.

Kazdel was no longer the great empire that once dominated the entire continent in its ancestors' time. It was now a small country, at most a small country with somewhat high military strength.

The schemers of other countries would not lay down their butcher knives just because Theresia was a pure and innocent maiden.

Being naive in politics was truly foolish.

Then, the Sarkaz who were sent were assigned by someone to build castles and infrastructure, commonly known as doing manual labor.

The physical condition of the Talarians was exactly the same as ordinary Felines; their strength was truly inferior to other races.

Huang Cao was unaware of how the Victorians could recognize the Felines in front of him as Talarians. After all, the appearances of these two races were almost identical, with no discernible difference.

At least, he couldn't tell the difference with his own eyes.

But it didn't matter. To him, anyone who could do manual labor was a good person.

Come on! Contribute your surplus value to me!

"Very good, work hard here, don't fight. Five silver coins per stone moved, and if you do well, a gold coin a day is not a problem."

"The stones on the east side are almost cut. All of you go to the east and move the cut stones over here, and stack them according to the building block pattern."

"Be careful, wear your safety helmets. Don't complain about the trouble or the obstructed vision. Don't blame me if you end up paralyzed."

As Huang Cao surveyed his territory, he marveled, Sarkaz have such good physical condition.

Since the Talarian cats were weak and couldn't move large stones, it took dozens of people to take turns whenever they moved stones, which was indeed a bit too much to handle.

The Sarkaz only needed five people to carry the majority of the heavy stone materials.

Terra already had train technology at this point, and it was even quite developed, but it had not been widely popularized.

Not to mention now, even in the future, the popularity of trains in Terra would not be high.

After a natural disaster, nothing would be left, and the tracks could not be relaid.

Although High-speed Battleships were convenient, one couldn't transport everything with battleships.

Even though his battleships had low operating costs and would repair themselves when damaged, it still felt a bit extravagant.

As for the battleship engineers... Huang Cao stated that the machine spirits on the High-speed Battleships would repair themselves.

"How should trains be built? The ground is definitely not an option. If a natural disaster occurs on the way, passengers will be exposed to the wind on the spot."

So, after much thought, trains should indeed be built underground.

By the way, are underground trains called subways or trains?

Digging tunnels was undoubtedly a very difficult engineering feat for some countries.

However, as a plant, Huang Cao stated that digging was his specialty; digging a tunnel underground was not a problem.

The important thing was how to lay the tracks. Digging was easy, but creating a passage that trains could use was not.

Especially since the underground rock composition was extremely complex, one couldn't just lay tracks carelessly. What if it collapsed?

So, facing the complex underground situation, Huang Cao decided to use Abundance Technology once more.

Why should I lay traditional tracks? Can't trains just run directly on the branches of plants?

Who says plants can't grow tracks? You're insulting the creations of nature!

Huang Cao acted as he spoke, spending nearly half a day to cultivate a seed. Once planted, it would grow in a single direction, with the resulting stems forming the shape of tracks.

Moreover, once formed, it would automatically absorb minerals from its surroundings to strengthen the hardness of its leaves, while also firmly adhering to the ground.

And there's no need for self-maintenance. Once formed, if its body is damaged, its self-repair capabilities would activate, saving even labor costs for maintenance.

Chapter 83: The Shapeshifter Collective, Permeated by Vines.

Since tracks can be solved with Abundance Plants, can the entire tunnel be solved with them too?

Wrapping the tunnel's surroundings with plants can prevent its collapse, which is even less work than the tracks.

After all, as long as it's hard and flexible enough, even an earthquake won't collapse the tunnel. If it really happens, consider it the passengers riding a roller coaster.

"But speaking of which, if I can dig holes this fast, why can't I quietly dig these tunnels into other countries?"

Since we're going to blow up with the rest of the world in the future anyway, it's better to prepare now.

When war breaks out in the future, won't flanking them from behind end it faster?

And there's no need to send people to defend these tunnels. Adding some offensive organs to the plants would be enough to deter a large number of people.

Trying to cause trouble on my territory? Give it here!

Huang Cao decided to start working on it after returning to Eden, as the population was already sufficient.

Talarians were also continuously migrating towards his territory. Based on the speed of information dissemination, it shouldn't be long before he could gather a million people.

Huang Cao had also cultivated several talented individuals in Eden over the years, who possessed certain territory management abilities and had all taken the seeds.

However... nowadays.

It seems that "some" very interesting people have infiltrated his territory.

Two nights before preparing to return to Eden, Huang Cao took advantage of the darkness and went to a remote wilderness.

Following the scent in the air, he kicked open the door to a Sarkaz worker's room.

To his surprise, the originally robust Sarkaz suddenly retracted his limbs like a child.

"Shapeshifter, are you asleep?"

"I think I'm asleep."

"Come out for a walk. Aren't you tired of working all day?"

"If you could give me a raise, I probably wouldn't be tired."

The lifted Sarkaz's body transformed like a slime, eventually becoming a young woman with light green hair.

Huang Cao felt that the Shapeshifter was likely female at this moment, as both her figure and face were softer than when they first met.

Especially the small swell on her chest, comparable to Warfarin's, was enough for anyone to easily determine her gender.

Of course, if the Shapeshifter was hiding a greatsword on her person, that would be another matter.

Shapeshifter, true to her name.

However, for this Immortal, she didn't have a particularly special name.

Due to the sheer number of names she had to remember, based on her own characteristics, she simply used Shapeshifter to refer to herself.

Shapeshifters could transform into either male or female at will, both externally and internally. There were many Shapeshifters, but they seemed to share a collective consciousness.

The collective consciousness of the Shapeshifter Collective could be dispersed into countless individual consciousnesses or recombined into a single entity.

"Did Theresia recruit you to work?"

Huang Cao inquired.

After all, he had heard about the Shapeshifter Collective's history of working illegal jobs, so this question was just a joke.

Although working illegal jobs in other countries was just a part of experiencing life for the Shapeshifter.

After experiencing everything, she would probably want to experience death.

"I wish I could, but Theresia said it would damage the relationship between Kazdel and The Speaker, so I could only infiltrate."

"Hearing the words 'The Speaker' makes me very curious. When did Victoria get a Speaker? So it was you... it could only be you."

"So what do you want to do, report me, or..."

Huang Cao said jokingly.

The Shapeshifter Collective would naturally not report him. Theresia was only her nominal Demon King and could not directly command her. Cooperating and paying was just for the sake of watching the fun.

In short, Shapeshifters are a collection of fun-seekers.

Having lived for a long time, they've seen through everything and currently live only for amusement.

The beautiful green-haired girl slightly tilted her neck, observing Huang Cao with great interest.

Then, as if thinking of something fun, it clapped its hands, and two things resembling slimes suddenly popped out from the doorway.

Huang Cao also looked at her, expecting her to put on a show for him.

If nothing unexpected happened, it meant he was being treated as entertainment by the Shapeshifter Collective. Otherwise, they wouldn't have pursued him all the way to Victoria.

"The workload in your territory is quite high. Even I feel a bit tired, so I want to experience a different kind of pleasure."

The Shapeshifter flickered, instantly transforming into Warfarin's appearance.

Just as Huang Cao began to doubt the other party's actions, a pair of soft, jade-like hands suddenly landed on his shoulders.

Turning his head, he saw "Theresia" and "Lamian" standing behind him, stroking his back with their hands.

Glancing through his peripheral vision, Huang Cao immediately noticed that the moonlight made them appear exceptionally white.

To put it plainly, the two behind him were not wearing clothes.

"Show a little respect for others."

Huang Cao glanced curiously, then immediately averted his gaze.

They were beautiful, and he enjoyed looking, but Lamian wasn't quite accurate; she was a little smaller than expected.

"Are we beautiful? Tonight, if you say the word, we are all yours."

The three women present spoke simultaneously, their voices exceedingly seductive, as if possessed by succubi.

But unfortunately, Huang Cao remained unmoved, as he knew they were just playing with him.

If he had actually shown any interest, these three beauties might have transformed into three burly men to give him a visual shock.

The Shapeshifter was slightly taken aback, and then "Warfarin" instantly reverted to her original appearance as a green-haired girl.

"Or perhaps you want this body?"

As the Shapeshifter spoke, it lifted its clothes and continued to tease him relentlessly.
