Old Black Snake: Shall We Meet, Your Excellency the Speaker?

They often slack off when working, are not very loyal to Eden, and belong to the group that would immediately rebel if something happened.

"Teach these people well. I believe there are some you know well among them. Don't let me down."

"Thank you so much for forgiving their crimes."

It turns out that my every move was under the other party's control.

I'm such an idiot, I was stupid enough to try something funny in front of this man.

Go back and give them a good talking-to...

"Understood, sir."

"Don't be late for the 1 p. m. train today. I've already transferred all your people to your territory. Work hard, and you'll have a good life in the future."

The land that Huang Cao provided wasn't very good; in fact, the environment was arguably among the worst of all the territories.

Work hard, and there's hope for the future.

That night, after feeding the two of them, Huang Cao fell into a state of sagehood.

He suddenly realized something: perhaps he really shouldn't indulge in the pleasures of love.

But since the gentle embrace of her will actively pursue her, Lamian thinks that since her husband, Ah Cao, has no intention of having children, she should compensate herself in another way.

Based on the average age of marriage for Banshee, Lamian must have been married for who knows how many years.

So she made up a reason: Huang Cao had to make up for the happiness she hadn't had all these years without him.

In short, Lamian was a bit of a drinker... after all, she had never experienced this kind of intense, unbreakable love before.

Furthermore, due to her physical condition, she could accommodate more than Warfarin.

Lamian, clutching the Huang Cao, asked in a somewhat dazed tone, "Can we pretend the bet from before never happened?"

The Sarkaz are having a really tough time, even though Theresia may indeed have the ability to change things.

However, if the current situation can be changed quickly, it can be considered as doing a good thing for one's fellow countrymen.

As for best friends... the Demon King should be given to the most capable person!

"You can't break your promise!"

Huang Cao tapped the Banshee on the head with his hand.

Kazdel is far more difficult to govern than Victoria. It would be better to focus our efforts elsewhere than to waste time here.

For example, to establish an organization with international influence, Huang Cao decided to start with medicine and food.

For some reason, at this moment...

Suddenly, a handsome and cute boy with a golden scorpion tail appeared in Huang Cao's mind, and the boy even gave him a thumbs up.

Use the purest power upon this land!

Strange and whimsical ideas...

Huang Cao shook his head, covered the two of them with blankets after they had eaten their fill in bed, and tiptoed off to prepare for his grand scheme.

Victoria's matter is almost settled; stopping to wait for the right opportunity is not his style.

If there are no opportunities, I will create them.

Because if they don't stop moving, Lamian and Warfarin will have to keep moving on themselves every day.

Since we're just idling around anyway, we might as well do something that will make everyone happy.

Don't do that!

Moreover, the feeling of shrinking is really not good; I always feel like I'm the one being suppressed.

Looking at himself in the mirror, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, Huang Cao sighed. Then he grew into a sunny and cheerful 1.8-meter-tall boy.

This look is a bit too dignified, so let's just forget about it. It can only be used as a reward for the two of them.

Furthermore, it's somewhat disproportionate, mainly in terms of body shape and lower body, making it resemble one of the main characters in doujinshi.

The two people sleeping in the bed, considering practicality, made a demand of Huang Cao that he not only look good but also eat well. As a result, his body shrank, but some parts remained the same.

Although Huang Cao thought it was meaningless, after all, with the Power of Abundance, his weapon could be as long and as big as he wanted.

All I can say is that Huang Cao really doesn't understand the fun these two have, and both of them are the type who are bad at the game but addicted to it. They often can't stand it when they're about to increase the intensity of the game.

Back in his office, Huang Cao found a business plan and revenue report for the Abundance Group on his desk.

The Abundance Group, that's what Huang Cao's company in Victoria is called. Most of the time, it's managed by Shi Huaiya; he's only responsible for collecting money and giving orders.

Next, expansion began. What is the current situation in various countries?

Apart from Victoria, almost all countries are facing food shortages, including Iberia, Ursus, and even Yan Country.

The Golden Age began with a major explosion in Originium technology. Although we now have the most basic Originium industry, we are still some distance from large-scale application.

Mobile City are also a product of the Originium Industrial Revolution, and now even mobile plots are extremely rare in this world.

Unless the leaders of various countries are foolish, they will certainly apply the technological achievements brought about by industry to agriculture.

The problem now is that, although the technological development of various countries is not slow, it just doesn't feel explosive.

It takes time to translate scientific and technological achievements into practical applications; even the steam age didn't begin overnight.

Moreover, judging from the original storyline, even two hundred years after the advancement of technology, many regions were still suffering from famine and disasters.

For example, in the story of Yan Country, once the land of Great Wilderness City is polluted, the people in the surrounding areas will have to go hungry for a period of time if they do not receive support from the surrounding regions.

Most farmland is not located in Mobile City and often relies on supplies from surrounding areas to maintain normal operations.

Mobile City cannot replace all the functions of a normal city, because it is impossible to conjure matter out of thin air.

The conservation of matter and energy is an ironclad law most of the time.

So Huang Cao decided to extend his reach into the lifelines of various countries.

Capital is now accelerating, aiming to use food to choke the throats of everyone on this land.

People can live without houses or any gold or silver treasures, but they must eat and drink in order to survive.

Of the four basic necessities of life—food, clothing, shelter, and transportation—food comes first.

Chapter 114 Old Black Snake: Shall we meet, the Speaker?

It's not complicated to implement, but Huang Cao doesn't intend to use the soil to control other countries.

Because this is a bit slow, it's better to start with the food itself.

So it's time to create a high-yield and drought-resistant wheat and rice Seed.

Although the concept of genes exists in this day and age, it is still far from being applied on a large scale.

Most renowned doctors rely on their own experience to treat illnesses, but if they really can't cure the disease, they can only resort to some mystical methods, and the key is that these methods are actually quite effective.

After all, the races on Terra's land are incredibly diverse, and their racial characteristics are all quite outrageous.

Those who have studied biology should understand that traits are a very fascinating concept.

Whether it's a biological or plant trait, the probability of its inheritance is very mysterious, and unless it's thoroughly studied, it's mostly uncontrollable.

Especially for plants, most high-yielding plants often have very poor next generation. Seed must be artificially intervened before planting, otherwise phenotypic segregation is likely to occur.

No country dislikes high-yield crops, especially for ordinary Terra suffering from natural Catastrophe.

The Seed of Huang Cao are like this: they are highly productive but cannot pass on their characteristics to the next generation, and they may not even germinate after being planted.

Once Seed replace crops in various countries, then one indirectly controls the food supply channels of those countries.

This is much more ruthless than selling grain. There are many people who know how to farm, but can everyone farm well?

It's okay if you don't know how to farm. You don't need to worry about any pests or diseases when you make your own Seed. They are high-yielding and will survive as long as you don't mind planting them in a messy environment.

Who wouldn't like this kind of thing?

By using its high-yield Seed to suppress the Seed varieties of other countries, within ten years, that country will immediately fall into famine if it leaves its seedbed.

The methods used to deal with Victoria cannot be applied to other countries indefinitely.

Other countries probably already know about Victoria's changes, and they may only be able to use this tactic once.

The next morning, Huang Cao had already extracted the samples, which were rice, wheat, and potatoes.

We still rely on the all-powerful Originium Database, directly copying and pasting gene fragments into it, plus a little bit of Abundance Power...

This is much faster than doing it yourself; it's practically an all-purpose tool.

Of course, there are some drawbacks, which also involve his second business.

Huang Cao can absorb Originium to enrich the soil when dropped into Victoria's soil. In addition to its fast growth rate, this Seed also absorbs more nutrients than other varieties.

Most of the time, the crops grown by ordinary people living on this land don't even last until the soil's fertility is exhausted, because when Catastrophe strike, they have to run away.

Planting too much of this type of rice will inevitably lead to land abandonment, and within two years at most, only sandy land will remain besides water.

To protect the environment, we must use fertilizers; otherwise, we'll be forced to relocate.

Huang Cao decided to sell fertilizer on the side, and also use this as an excuse to control the mining industry in other countries.

After all, inorganic salts are also a type of mineral resource. It's normal for me to open a factory, dig a mine, and manufacture these things, isn't it?

"By the way, send the first batch of Seed samples to Yan Country. I believe Shu and I should have something in common."

Now that's where the original purpose of establishing a relationship with performance comes in, doesn't it?

While we're at it, we'll also send wheat Seed to other countries, such as Iberia, Kazimierz, and so on.

It's also a good opportunity to see the results, as it will be essential for unifying the entire land and interacting with various countries in the future.

Who is the True Dragon of this generation? Could it be Wei Yanwu's grandfather, or his grandfather's grandfather?

It's quite absurd that the Great Yan True Dragon are not a particularly long-lived race; their lifespan is even shorter than that of the Warfarin.

However, perhaps every emperor of the Yan Country is incredibly resilient to pressure, and the many responsibilities he has put in make him appear older.

A month later, Huang Cao's fertilizer factory and planting and sales center officially opened.

With the injection of funds and the cooperation of the Victoria nobility, the propaganda machine was instantly activated, and Victoria itself was the first to be planted with special wheat Seed.

As for potatoes... according to historical tradition, the Talarian prefer to eat them, so they grow a special variety of potatoes.

Although Huang Cao is not strictly speaking a person, at least she is not as inhuman as Victoria, so the improved potato varieties can avoid all diseases and pests.

It didn't take long to see results, and we received our first order from Ursus.

The only difference is that the order was signed by Koschei.

An order from an Ursus Nobles wouldn't be enough to elicit any reaction from Huang Cao, but this person is no ordinary individual.

Koschei was originally just a nobleman, but what was special was that he had been possessed by an immortal evil god and had lived for an unknown number of years.

This old guy has always wanted war, so why did he send an order to Victoria so quickly?

Moreover, I've only been testing it for a month. This black snake's intelligence system is pretty good; at least it runs quite fast. I suggest it be used for delivering packages.

"Let me see what He really wants to do."

Huang Cao opened the snake's letter and immediately smelled the plant fragrance applied to it.

Although this guy's character is questionable, his taste is undeniable...

The opening was similar to all letters from nobles, nothing more than wishing you good health and a prosperous career, which was very devoid of any substance.

The main content begins later, and the most crucial message is: I would like to meet with the esteemed the Speaker. Would you be so kind as to grant me this honor?

Ursus... such a far place, although at my speed, the journey should only take half a day at most.

Huang Cao currently does not want to have much contact with this country. Although his performance in protecting civilization through Inner Guards -destruction within the integrated strategy is admirable, he dislikes this country intensely.

Whether it's the plot or anything else, it's basically a rotten mess on Terra's land.

Although the Victorians as human beings, at least they were willing to treat their official residents as human beings.

But Ursus treats almost everyone as less than human. If you had to pick a country on the verge of collapse, this country would definitely be in the top tier.

The Yan Country is filled with loyal ministers; whether it's the emperor or the ministers, almost all of them care about the common people.
