Planting Master, the Chamber of Commerce Visits!

"OK!"

The clam girl nodded happily, then turned and walked away.

Shen Xing followed behind her.

The two of them, one in front of the other, quickly entered the food processing plant.

At this moment, in front of the steaming workbench, a group of large-bottomed cooks are squatting on the ground, washing lotus roots and lotus seeds in a wooden tub.

Nearby, several other people were grinding lotus roots into powder and mixing them with Moonlight Wheat flour.

Nimue strode forward and said, "The human lord is here! Quickly show him the new food we've developed!"

Upon hearing this, the group of cooks immediately sprang into action.

The two quickly went to the steamer, opened the lid, and a thick cloud of white steam billowed out.

Next, they used tongs to cut out a round, double-layered iron plate, like the kind of mold used to make egg waffles at night markets.

There are small, rounded hemispherical grooves on it, arranged neatly.

As the iron plate was opened, hot air rose up, and Shen Xing looked over immediately.

He saw that round, white balls were visible in the grooves.

It was about the size of a fingertip, with wisps of steam rising from its surface, and a rich, refreshing fragrance wafted out.

"Is this the new food you've developed?" Shen Xing asked.

"Yes!" Nimue nodded happily, "We experimented many times and failed many times before we figured it out!"

"Failed so many times?" Shen Xing asked in surprise, "How can you fail at making this kind of thing?"

"Of course," Nimue replied without hesitation. "The preparation process for this food is quite complicated. The ingredients must be mixed in strict proportions, otherwise you'll end up with a pot of substandard products."

"Not only was the effect greatly reduced, but it also didn't taste good."

"We've been working on this at the processing plant for the past few days, and we finally figured out the complete formula this morning."

Shen Xing nodded in realization, then asked, "So what are the specific steps?"

The clam maiden quickly replied, "You need to grind 30 grams of Moonlight Wheat and 10 grams of laurel flowers together into powder, then mix in 10 milliliters of Moon Well Water."

"Then cook the white lotus root until tender, grind it into powder, add 20 grams of the powder, and knead it into a dough."

"Wrap White Jade Lotus Seeds in the middle, then place it in a specially made mold."

"Next comes the most crucial step: steam and bake with Sister Leina's flames for 3 minutes and 42 seconds, then stop immediately after the time is up."

"Let it steam or bake slowly inside for about ten minutes, and this new food will be a success!"

"All the above steps must be strictly followed; otherwise, if even one step goes wrong, all previous efforts will be in vain."

Shen Xing listened to the girl's eloquent speech with a somewhat strange expression.

This method sounds a bit like alchemy.

However, given the incredibly complex manufacturing process, the results must be quite astonishing, right?

With a touch of curiosity, Shen Xing gently waved his hand, using his mental power to draw one closer and examine it carefully.

[Unknown Dumplings]

[Quality: Orange (Epic)]

[Description: A food that first appeared in the Land of Mist, shaped like the moon, fragrant like osmanthus, and possessing extremely pure vitality.]

[Effect: After consumption, it can quickly restore a large amount of injuries and permanently increase constitution by 10-50 points (maximum effect 3 times)]

It rejuvenates the body, restoring youth and delaying aging by 10 years (this effect shortens with repeated use and completely disappears after 5 uses).

(Note: Time is priceless, but it can be saved.)

"Wow, it can actually slow down aging by 10 years!"

"Could this be... the legendary elixir of youth?"

Shen Xing was stunned, staring at the dumpling in disbelief.

Clearly, its effects far exceeded expectations!

One pill can delay aging by 10 years, which is equivalent to giving you ten more years of youth than others. Its value is unimaginable.

Moreover, you can eat 5 of these pills. Even if you eat them repeatedly, the effect will decrease, but it can still prolong your youth for at least 20 years.

These magical dumplings, no matter which world they appear in, will cause a frenzy among countless people, and any one of them can sell for an astonishing price.

"I harvested over 50,000 lotus seeds this time. Even if I use only a small portion of them to make this food, I'd still have over 20,000."

"Selling them all would bring me enormous profits!"

Shen Xing quickly calculated in his mind, his excitement growing. "Moreover, as the lotus seeds continue to grow, the yield will increase, and the effect will become stronger."

"This is equivalent to me having a holy land that continuously produces resources!"

Thinking of this, he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

"Human, how is it?" Nimue asked expectantly, "Is this food amazing?"

"Excellent, truly impressive." Shen Xing nodded approvingly. "You've done a great job this time."

"Hehehe..." The clam girl chuckled foolishly upon hearing the praise.

Then, as if remembering something, she looked up and said, "Oh, right, human."

"This newly developed food doesn't have a name yet. Why don't you give it one?"

"A name...?"

Shen Xing pondered for a moment, then decided, "Let's call it the Rejuvenation Pill."

"Rejuvenation" not only means that it can help you heal injuries, but also implies returning to youth.

Although the name is simple and unadorned, it perfectly matches its effects.

Just then, a system notification appeared.

[Ding! Naming successful. The food has been officially named: 'Rejuvenation Pill'!]

[Ding! Your territory has successfully developed an Epic to Legendary Rank food recipe, granting you +10,000 to +100,000 territory reputation!]

[Note: This food will spread widely throughout the Land of Mist over time, allowing more and more people to experience its magical effects.]

Your territory reputation will gradually increase, and eventually the recipe will be upgraded to 'Legendary Rank'!

Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, then gasped!

"Wow, 100,000 reputation points? That's outrageous!"

"Just developing a food recipe can add so much reputation?"

The so-called reputation value is also a type of hidden attribute, except that it belongs to the 'power attribute'.

Only well-known forces or territories with strong foundations will appear.

Just like the Ouroboros Chamber of Commerce we encountered before.

The higher your reputation, the wider your faction's influence is throughout the Land of Mist.

This will also attract more talented individuals to apply.

When your reputation reaches a certain level, you can even attract hero units.

To increase your reputation, you need to perform some amazing deeds that spread widely throughout the Land of Mist.

However, according to information on the forum, even if other lords defeat a major boss in an area, they can only gain two or three thousand reputation points.

It's unheard of for someone like Shen Xing to gain 100,000 reputation points in one go.

Of course, this reputation value only increases by 10,000 for now.

We need to spread the word about the effects of these pills so that more and more people know about their amazing benefits.

During this period, Shen Xing's territory reputation will gradually increase until it reaches 100,000 points.

"Rejuvenation Pill... what a lovely name..."

One of the cooks said with admiration, "It's like spring rain; just hearing about it makes you feel so much younger."

"Yes, very much in the style of Your Excellency, elegant and noble."

"As expected of the lord, he's handsome, and the name he chose is also very pleasant."

These people were chiming in, and Nimue, who was standing next to them, had initially thought that the name wasn't very good, but it was making her feel insecure.

Lord Shen was in a great mood when he saw how sensible the cooks were.

With a wave of his hand, he took out more than a dozen Elite Soul. "Here, one for each of you, as a reward for your hard work these past few days."

The group of cooks' eyes lit up when they saw the ball of light in front of them.

"Thank you, generous and kind Lord! We will forever remember your kindness!"

They cradled the soul, their gazes devout and Fervor.

Several of the cooks looked at Shen Xing with a kind of longing in their eyes, as if they wished they could devour him on the spot.

"My human lord, where is my reward!?"

Seeing that he had given rewards to the cooks, Nimue couldn't help but ask, "And what about that mystery gift you mentioned last time? You haven't given it to me yet!"

Chapter 295: The Planting Master, the Chamber of Commerce Visits!

"My human lord, where is my reward!?"

Nimue saw Shen Xing give rewards to the cooks and asked about it as well.

Shen Xing seemed to have anticipated her response. He flipped his right hand, revealing an ancient-looking seashell. "Here you go."

What is this?

Nimue took the seashell and asked curiously.

"This is a great item that can help you advance to the Tier Three and significantly boost your strength." Shen Xing smiled slightly, seemingly already envisioning the little girl's happy expression.

However, upon hearing Nimue's eyes gradually faded.

She lowered her head, somewhat disappointed, and said, "So this is the mysterious gift the lord was talking about? I thought it was something else..."

Shen Xing was slightly taken aback. "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

This is Tier Three advancement material! Any other troop type or citizen would be overjoyed to see this.

But the girl didn't seem to care at all.

Lord Shen's lips twitched, a competitive spirit stirring within him. "This is certainly not a mysterious gift, but simply a reward for your hard work these past few days."

"The real gift is here."
