Chapter 97 (continued)

It's a pity we missed it.

Because they were recovering from their injuries, the two actually arrived at the Heavenly Palace later than the Agronomy Department.

As soon as they arrived at the Heavenly Palace, they heard about the Nature Pavilion's plan to fight off the beast tide.

The two immediately submitted an application to Star Combat Division, requesting support for the East Sector.

It just so happened that Kong Ling received the application. He was already planning to support the Nature Pavilion, so he immediately approved the application and accepted them.

No one expected that Myriad Forms Media would release such a "terrifying" promotional video.

Lin Zhaoxia and Zhong Qian exchanged bewildered glances. "This... do we still need to go and provide support?"

Kong Ling: "..."

Major Kong was also in a daze, watching the almost magical promotional video five or six times over.

Kong Ling's deputy was even more bewildered, and after a long while, he muttered, "This girl is telling the truth."

Kong Ling: "..."

Lin Zhaoxia and Zhong Qian didn't know what that sentence meant, but how could Kong Ling not know?

Kong Ling offered to help Li Yang back then...

Li Yang said calmly, "No need."

At the time, Kong Ling thought she was just being childish, but it turned out she genuinely didn't want it.

Not only would she not use them, she might even find them a nuisance!

Shen Shangchi, who reported to the Star Magic Division, was much calmer.

He knew Li Yang's strength all too well, and he also knew that Li Yang had brought back 1,000 Star Plant seeds, which were now coming in handy.

However, Shen Shangchi also sent Ying Qi a message: "The Qizi..."

Ying Qi replied, "Busy."

Shen Shangchi immediately understood. "Okay, I won't bother you any longer."

The promotional video went viral on the Heavenly Palace.

Speculators in the eastern district also watched with gleaming eyes.

They haven't had a chance to sell this house yet...

It seems we don't need to take action?

The Star Wielders initially wanted to rent the house to Li Yang also saw this promotional video.

She widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Damn, aren't these the same kids? If you'd said you had this ability, I would have gone to buy houses at rock-bottom prices yesterday!"

However, it was too late.

Homeowners in the eastern district clutched their properties tightly, watching the promotional video over and over again, hoping it wasn't false advertising!

Seeing the atmosphere heating up, Myriad Forms Media dropped another bombshell. "Three days from now, we will be broadcasting the entire East District beast tide live. Please subscribe!"

The Star Wielders of the Heavenly Palace: "!!!"

If promotional videos can be faked, then their courage to go live is enough to prove that they truly have the strength to fight off the beast tide.

The Star Wielders of the Heavenly Palace are very busy, especially the three Combat Department, each with their own tasks, so they definitely don't have time to go to the scene to watch.

However, the ID card also has a live streaming function.

As long as the Star Wielders do not leave the Huaxia Main City, they can watch the live broadcast of the Eastern District's fight against the beast tide from their respective posts.

Even many non-combat Star Wielders are already thinking of going to the scene to watch!

However, the Nature Department has issued a notice: "To ensure everyone's safety, please do not go to the outer city of the East District during the beast tide."

The scene was extremely dangerous for onlookers.

Non-combat Star Wielders have relatively weaker self-defense capabilities, and if anything goes wrong, they are more likely to be used against them.

In this battle against the beast tide, Li Yang wanted to demonstrate the power of the Nature Department to the entire Heavenly Palace, and didn't want to make any mistakes in these trivial matters.

A live stream is enough; this isn't something you can watch live.

Wen Meng, the head of Myriad Forms Media, personally led her team to the Nature Pavilion.

Wen Meng is a woman around 30 years old.

She wore a smart and sharp suit, her black hair was neatly combed back, and a silver pocket watch with a faint Starlight shone on her left breast.

This is undoubtedly a special Star Artifact, somewhat similar to Li Yaowan's golden abacus.

Facing Li Yang, a girl more than ten years younger than herself, Wen Meng showed no arrogance whatsoever. Instead, she extended her left hand and politely said, "Star Master Li, I have long admired your name!"

Li Yang shook hands with her in a generous manner and politely said, "Hello, Star Master."

Although it was their first meeting, they had a very good first impression of each other and their conversation went very smoothly.

Wen Meng had already drafted a contract, which included a share of the revenue from this live stream.

Li Yang looked at it carefully.

There are two main sources of revenue from live streaming.

One is advertising revenue from sponsors; the other is revenue from live stream tipping.

In the former case, Myriad Forms Media took 70% and Nature Department took 30%; in the latter case, it was the other way around, with the Nature Department taking 70% and Myriad Forms Media taking 30%.

This contract also shows that Wen Meng is very sincere and cherishes the cooperation with the Nature Department.

Li Yang didn't hesitate and signed the contract decisively.

Finally, everything was ready, and all that remained was to await the beast tide.

The residence of the Marquis of Wind Pavilion.

This mansion was carved from a single piece of white jade.

This is unimaginable in the Huaxia Realm Domain, yet such wondrous architecture exists in the Astral Realm.

The entire Marquis's mansion occupies a vast area. Although there are no buildings that exceed two stories, the sheer size of the place is astonishing.

This gives you an idea of just how enormous this piece of jade is!

The deep blue star-patterned gauze, symbolizing the Star Magic Department, surrounds the white jade, adding a touch of shimmering light to the cold architecture.

Even on the jade-like ground, all sorts of strange plants were growing.

The plants, in varying shades of blue, made the entire courtyard seem otherworldly.

In the very center of the courtyard, there was a small pavilion, and two people were sitting inside.

The elderly woman smiled serenely, and when she raised her hand, there was a string of antique bells on her right wrist. The bells did not make a sound, as quiet as a string of Buddhist prayer beads.

This is none other than the master of the Marquis of Wind Pavilion's mansion— the Marquis of Wind Pavilion.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion gently placed a black piece and looked up at the middle-aged man opposite him.

He was described as middle-aged only because there were faint gray hairs at his temples.

Judging from his appearance alone, there is no trace of his age; on the contrary, he appears handsome and refined, with a gentle and elegant demeanor.

Marquis of Wind Stillness: "Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, it's your turn."

The player playing chess with the Marquis of Wind Pavilion was none other than Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, one of the Twelve Marquises.

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo held a white piece, but did not make a move.

He looked up at the Marquis of Wind Pavilion: "Wen Meng is your person."

Marquis of Wind Pavilion chuckled and said, "How could that be? Myriad Forms Media is backed by the Jiang Family."

"If you hadn't instructed her, would she have dared to start the live stream?"

"They did ask me for instructions, but I don't think it's a big deal. It's just a live stream. If the Nature Department can withstand the beast tide, it will give the East District some reassurance."

Marquis of Wind Pavilion's tone of voice was very pleasant, like the wind blowing through bells, soothing and melodious.

However, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo frowned slightly upon hearing this, and said in a deep voice, "Judging a gentleman by the standards of a petty person!"

Others might not understand what he was saying, but Marquis of Wind Pavilion understood it perfectly.

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo is alluding to Li Yang.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion raised his eyelids and said indifferently, "Do you really intend to hand over Nature Pavilion to her?"

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo: "Since I handed over the key, it is naturally hers."

Marquis of Wind Pavilion: "What if she can't catch it?"

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo: "That's because she lacks the ability and is unworthy of possessing the Nature Pavilion."

Marquis of Wind Pavilion laughed, his voice becoming even more melodious, like the tinkling of bells. "Now it seems she can handle it."

With a snap, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo placed his piece, sealing off a large area of the Marquis of Wind Pavilion's black pieces.

Seeing himself cornered, Marquis of Wind Pavilion remained unperturbed. Instead, he calmly looked at Marquis of Mirror Bamboo and said with a smile, "If you don't kill her now, she will definitely kill you later."

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo suddenly looked up and said, "I told you, although I despise Nature Department, I would never resort to such underhanded methods!"

Marquis of Wind Pavilion said nothing more, but she picked up another white piece and gently placed it down, giving the seemingly hopeless game a glimmer of hope.

Students majoring in the Agronomy Department are indeed far more talented than those Plow Ox Clan.

The Star Plant they carefully nurtured all produced two seeds.

Little Ox Niu exclaimed repeatedly, "The adults from the Nature Department are amazing!"

During the Divine Miracle, he took great care of the Star Plant, but less than half of them were able to produce two seeds.

If the Little Ox were to care for these 1,000 Star Plant, they would produce a maximum of 1,500 seeds.

There are now nearly 2,200!

Zhong Kun said casually, "Looks like we can't use them all, so we might as well keep a few hundred..."

Li Yang interrupted, "Plant them all."

Given the scale of the beast tide in the North District, they certainly wouldn't need 2,200 Star Plant.

But Li Yang would rather waste more seeds than have any accidents happen.

Especially when they are live streaming, they must be absolutely certain of success, otherwise they will lose everything.

While a well-intentioned open strategy is difficult for the opponent to defend against, it also places extremely high demands on the person who devises it.

If Li Yang wasn't absolutely certain they could withstand the beast tide, then they would be the ones who suffered a crushing defeat.

Everything they've done now will backfire on the Nature Department. They will completely lose the Nature Pavilion and will likely struggle to hold their heads high in the Heavenly Palace for a long time.

Therefore, Li Yang didn't want to hold back at all; she just wanted to take this beast tide down steadily and surely.

Feng Yiqiao also said, "Now is not the time to save money; we must defend against this wave of beasts!"

Zhong Kun waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Pretend I didn't say anything!"

Li Yang had completed the cultivation of 2,200 seeds and said to everyone, "On this last day, everyone must be extremely focused and plant all these seeds successfully!"

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!"

There are warnings when a beast tide is coming.

It's just that the timing isn't very precise.

For example, if the prediction is made three days from now, it's hard to say whether it will be in the early morning or the evening of three days from now.

The Agronomy Department didn't sleep a wink all night, ensuring that all the Star Plant were mature before dawn on the third day.
