Bewitching Mushrooms Can Make a Cat Who's Lived for Ten Thousand Years Blow Bubbles. / Your Dignity Is the Most Useless Thing, Kal'tsit!

And they weren't just rich, they were incredibly wealthy; the gold coins that slipped through their fingers were enough to sustain Kazdel for a while.

The hundreds of thousands of gold coins that Huang Cao had previously spent on purchasing the Kazdel territory had long since been squandered by the two siblings.

What else could they do? They repaired infrastructure, paid military salaries, and upgraded equipment to defend against Leithanian invasion.

War is the most expensive national project, so there was no money left for developing the domestic economy.

This is understandable, as development requires protecting oneself.

Kazdel is currently lacking the funds to begin development. Because other countries discriminate against the Sarkaz, the cost of acquiring technology and resources from outside has become very high.

That's why this pink-haired one girl got scammed.

Even the Demon King was nothing more than a stinking beggar in the eyes of the Victorians, so he didn't deserve any respect.

"Actually, I brought in an investment for Kazdel during my trip to Victoria."

"Do you make clothes?"

Theresia's eyes lit up; her order had only recently been completed.

The nobles did not place any further orders, which meant her income stopped.

Although making clothes is very energy-consuming and has ruined her health, she still wants to continue to earn money for the country.

This is a last resort; if there were better revenue-generating opportunities, who would choose such an inefficient approach?

A question mark appeared above Kal'tsit's head.

Forget about making clothes. Look at yourself now. If you keep embroidering, you might really die suddenly.

"Unfortunately, it's not. It's a large order for us to invest in and build a factory in China, which can bring us at least 100,000 gold coins a year."

Overjoyed upon receiving this news, Theresia immediately asked, "May I ask which kind gentleman is interested in investing here and building a factory?"

"It's a secret for now. That gentleman has a special identity and doesn't like to show his face. He hasn't revealed what kind of factory he's going to open, but he's an old acquaintance of mine. He's trustworthy and won't let us suffer any losses."

Kal'tsit did meet an acquaintance in Victoria, but Gawain wouldn't invest any money in her; having lost royal support, she's now penniless.

This is a lie, Kal'tsit has decided to start with Master Huang.

While it might not be a gold rush, we should at least give it a try; we can't let Theresia continue to be so depressed.

"However, on the day the factory construction begins, a person of sufficient dignity and high status is needed to preside over the opening ceremony. Your Highness, you need to take good care of your health before then."

"Being this thin is not the style of a ruler of a country."

Anyone who didn't know better would think we were abusing the Demon King...

It can only be said that a sad person's IQ will drop. Theresia, whose body was so weak that her brain was not working properly, did not notice the cat's lie in front of her.

They were completely overjoyed at receiving the investment.

This was tough on Kal'tsit, because she knew that if she really didn't manage to secure the investment, the blow to the woman in front of her would be enormous.

"I'm going to Victoria soon to see what this investor's plans are."

Kal'tsit went to Victoria for good, of course she's going back to Eden to see if she can get some of Master Huang's gold coins.

Moreover, the boast he just made seems a bit too ambitious—an income of 100,000 gold coins a year... that's indeed a bit difficult to achieve...

It's alright, though. We can just say it's due to cost reasons and reduce the range of revenue.

The problem is how to persuade Huang Cao.

Kal'tsit returned to her room, found a maid outfit, and sighed.

As expected, she finally managed to get to this point, though she didn't intend to get something for nothing.

After all, neither side is a fool, so she was prepared to offer some technology that was ahead of its time.

Some small gadgets, if used well, can generate considerable value.

The reason they didn't give it to Theresia is because even if they did, the country wouldn't be able to make good use of it.

It could also be used by other countries in turn, ultimately harming our own people.

In contrast, some interesting but impractical technologies are sold for money.

Most of these technologies are innovations based on existing science, such as more advanced cameras.

With this in mind, Kal'tsit set off for Eden.

Two weeks later, Eden.

"Charm Mushroom, can this stuff be used for intelligence gathering? But what should I add to it?"

At this time, Huang Cao was still studying its Abundance Plants.

This kind of thing is so much fun, but due to the lack of experimental targets, many of the generated samples cannot be well validated.

Because it's still a long way from when they'll truly shine, there haven't been any of those hilarious, embarrassing moments yet.

Otherwise, Huang Cao really wanted to experience leading troops into battle, but unfortunately, the outside world never gave him the opportunity.

Bored and with nothing to do, he could only continue to stay in Eden and do scientific research.

Tending to plants in your spare time is fine; it might even allow you to confidently utter that famous line during future fights:

I am just a researcher; I don't have their kind of power.

For example, today he conjured up another Charm Mushroom, hoping to drop one into a crowd during a fight and instantly cause most of the enemy troops to defect.

This must be very interesting, but how do you do it?

Huang Cao added many things to the Charm Mushroom, but still couldn't achieve the same effect. Since it's supposed to be enchanting, it must create hallucinations.

However, after experiencing hallucinations, most of the time he just randomly slashes in place.

There's no way to make them see their fellow citizens as enemies.

Should we add something else in?

Because Huang Cao had no experience, she could only add ingredients as she saw fit, and all sorts of hormones were being added.

The colors of the Charm Mushroom became increasingly interesting, gradually turning into a riot of colors.

"Eden, it's been a long time since I've been back. The changes here are truly extraordinary."

Kal'tsit traveled through mountains and rivers, changing into her maid outfit before entering Eden.

Looking at this land that is both incredibly familiar and strange, I can't help but marvel at how effective someone's management has been.

In just a few years, the Garden of Eden had been completely transformed.

The already prosperous place has become even more prosperous, and many things that have never been seen before have appeared.

Telephone lines, speeding trains, and even many Banshee roamed the Garden of Eden.

That's understandable, though, since she already knew about the Banshee's affair with Eden.

It's just unclear why the Banshee suddenly became so close to Eden, as if they had achieved a breakthrough in their relationship.

Kal'tsit thought for a while but couldn't come up with an answer.

But this did not stop him from preparing to collect Master Huang's gold coins, and he had already handwritten a copy of the technology he wanted to contribute.

Some entertainment-related technologies, even if given to the other party, wouldn't have much impact.

Wealthy people usually enjoy eating, drinking, and having fun, so these things are likely to attract the other party's attention.

And so, following the footsteps in her Remembrance, Kal'tsit walked toward the border of Eden.

And it wasn't long before they were spotted by patrolling guards.

"Ms. Silkai, please wait a moment."

The guards, wielding long axes, stopped Kal'tsit.

Because this cat often followed Huang Cao and Warfarin around, most people in Eden knew it.

But all of that is ancient history. Kal'tsit's current identity is that of a stranger to Eden, and all the necessary procedures must be followed.

Even the name Silkai was a fake name that Kal'tsit had mentioned before.

"Please inform Master Huang that I have important matters to discuss with him."

Kal'tsit gave a slight bow and spoke very elegantly, her face still covered by a black veil.

The guard led Kal'tsit to a patrol post and dialed the phone hanging in the room to report everything that had just happened to his superiors.

Warfarin learned of this news not long after.

This vampire knew Kal'tsit's identity very well and thought it was something really important, so she let her in.

Not long after, Kal'tsit returned to her familiar castle.

The size and area of the castle have not changed much.

"Ah Cao is working on an invention in his studio right now, let's go later."

Warfarin said.

But Kal'tsit was really stubborn and slipped away while Warfarin wasn't looking.

A few years ago, when someone had a deep affection for this vampire, she cleaned the entire castle.

After all, when the two of them get into a good mood, anywhere can be a battlefield.

Kal'tsit naturally knew the location of someone's studio, and she was also very curious about what that person was doing.

This doesn't seem to be a secret, since the studio isn't located in a secluded place.

So, Kal'tsit found herself at the door of the room where the Huang Cao grass was creating Charm Mushroom.

And she quietly opened the door, accidentally making a sound.

Then she heard a bang, and a pink mist instantly hit her face.

The instant she was hit by the mist, Kal'tsit felt her lower abdomen involuntarily contract.

And in its most private room, it couldn't help but exhale its first and second bubbles in tens of thousands of years.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is...

Huang Cao also turned its head in surprise and looked at Kal'tsit, who had already dirtied the floor beneath her feet.

He couldn't help but marvel at how Charm Mushroom was!

Chapter 121 Your integrity is the most useless thing! Kaitian Cat!

"Kal'tsit, I didn't expect such a surprise on our first meeting. Or is it that the loneliness of tens of thousands of years has become unbearable for you?"

Huang Cao looked at Kal'tsit, whose expression was somewhat broken, with an unusually strange expression. Clearly, the impact of Charm Mushroom on this ancient cat was not ordinary.

Fortunately, I was unaffected.

"I think this is probably just your personal hobby, Master Huang."

Kal'tsit tried to keep her expression calm, but her body's instincts made her want to look towards the front...

But she dared not move an inch, because she was about to burst.

After experimenting for nearly two or three days, Huang Cao discovered that the Charm Mushroom seemed to be effective only against relatively underdeveloped countries, because when facing a large country, the very question was whether this mushroom could even be used to defeat it.

Secondly, what if the technology is updated in the future? Wouldn't wearing a protective mask be the end of the world? Although it is possible to evolve to ignore protective equipment as much as possible, Huang Cao does not want to invest too much energy in this plant.

Moreover, considering that the other countries are not all advanced powers like Gaul, but mostly small countries like Siergrag, it's important to remember that they are not all large, advanced nations like Gaul.

Dealing with these countries doesn't require too much time and resources; that's the nature of the Charm Mushroom. Small countries don't have the resources to equip themselves with air purification devices.

Since we can't control these people to attack friendly forces, let's completely disable them and at the same time severely damage their transport units.

It is more difficult to give up happiness than pain.
