Chapter 1065: Sister Xiao Han’s Actions Must Have Deep Meaning
Expanding Realm.
“Sister Xiao Han, here are the materials you needed. If this isn’t enough, I can prepare a second batch for you this afternoon.”
Millien handed over a stack of storage cards, all containing extraordinary materials categorized according to my needs.
“This batch will be sufficient for now.” After taking it, I slightly frowned at the resources in the storage space; I had to admit I was shocked even myself.
Although these were all basic natural element essences—category materials, the sheer quantity was overwhelming.
“With this many basic materials, there should be a stable production base for this category of materials in the Expanding Realm, right?” I casually asked, then pulled out a piece of pure fire element red ore.
The purity was quite uniform, quite unlike naturally mined items; it was either crafted with special techniques or purified from raw ore, but I needed these.
“This is natural, does Sister Xiao Han want to understand the industry in this area?”
“No, I was just asking… well… you are considerate.” I noticed the organized materials Millien handed over were clearly meant for my review from the start.
To be honest, my understanding of this area wasn’t extensive. While I could learn, I felt that channeling my energy into something else would be more rewarding.
Someone else managing things I didn’t understand was fine as long as I ensured their loyalty.
“This is also a culmination of my efforts during this period; I hope it has not disappointed you.” Millien spoke with a hint of confidence, as if she believed this achievement had reached a level of satisfaction within her, which reflected in her demeanor.
I quickly entered all these materials into the Knowledge Tree for organization and soon came across “Natural Disaster Group.”
Seeing this reminded me that Millien had previously asked me about the naming of the company; initially, she wanted to continue with the Baking House club code, but I felt that awkward and changed it to Natural Disaster, as it was a nickname that I was often called.
But if I were to evaluate… did I really bring any natural disasters? (Selectively forgotten)
Millien also mentioned she thought the name had a negative connotation, as “natural disasters” sounded uncomfortable; I had thought she would change it.
Unexpectedly, it was still used?
I looked at the series of subsidiaries under the Natural Disaster Group, which seemed to cover many fields, although most were related to extraordinary industries, with only a few other sectors seemingly involved.
Millien was also eagerly watching for my reaction, but I didn’t quite grasp what any of this represented.
Seeing my indifferent response, Millien gradually withdrew her excitement, returning to her usual mindset.
Even though I didn’t fully understand what these represented, I could distinctly feel Millien’s emotions shift from extreme anticipation to a more calm demeanor.
I then smiled satisfactorily and said, “I don’t know much about this, but to achieve… something like a commercial empire within such a short time must have consumed a tremendous amount of energy.”
Looking at the comprehensive evaluation given by the earth vein appraisal for the “Natural Disaster Group,” I was surprised to find it described as a ‘colossal presence akin to a commercial empire.’
What kind of existence could be considered a commercial empire… I remembered that the Expanding Realm was primarily led by the Ninglan World, right?
The Main World has no concept of nation; the Core Realm is governed by cooperation among different extraordinary academies and families, while the Expanding Realm is centered around the Ninglan World, with cities establishing as civilization hubs linked together.
In essence, they are all civilizations built under absolute power.
As long as the existence that holds absolute power does not wish for chaos, then this civilization can thrive.
Just like the Expanding Realm, no war can undermine it; any hint of trouble can be extinguished in an instant.
However, if chaos were desired, it would be akin to the Core Realm, where even the Witch Academy, representing one of many powers, could plunge into chaos and turmoil.
After receiving my affirmation, Millien’s mood began to brighten with the joy of validation, though she didn’t outwardly express it.
“I won’t ask anything extra; I’m just curious to inquire, if the channels between the Core Realm and the Expanding Realm were opened, how many families in the Core Realm could your current power face without fear?” I posed my last question, even though I didn’t know much about the company, in the Core Realm, families are the reference point.
Even… My understanding of families isn’t extensive either.
“How many could I face without fear?” Millien, upon hearing my question, looked surprised at first, and then seemed to think of something, her understanding blossoming.
“Though I am in the Expanding Realm, Cleveland frequently exchanges intelligence between the two realms with me. Even though the Core Realm is currently promoting extraordinary powers, it lacks the inherent advantages of the Expanding Realm’s structure within the extraordinary power framework. Without interference from the extraordinary academies, the Natural Disaster Group exerting a diminishing blow to family forces would not be an exaggeration; within time, integrating the families’ industries in the Witch World is absolutely achievable,” Millien spoke with firm confidence.
“Integrating family industries… uh…” Watching the confident Millien, I quickly engaged in self-reflection.
This conclusion sounded absurd at first; Millien, who just started developing, dared to unify the families in the Witch World?
But upon reflection, the differing environment and platform could indeed foster such outcomes.
After all, the Expanding Realm is a massive world comparable to the Core Realm, and what about the family influence within the Core Realm?
In the Witch World, they have to coexist with other families.
The disparity became immediately apparent.
“Is Sister Xiao Han planning to use my hands to eradicate the family tumors entrenched in the Core Realm after opening the passage between the Witch Academy and the Expanding Realm? I am willing to become that sharp blade in Sister Xiao Han’s hands.” While I reflected deeply, Millien did not hide her loyalty and sincerity.
She was serious!
Millien had been pondering what Sister Xiao Han’s layout in the Expanding Realm was truly for, to maximize resource acquisition?
Impossible; her current status and identity already permitted her to understand the existence and value of the “Dream Demon Workshop,” which was a product that even extraordinary witches would go crazy for.
Though she did not comprehend what kind of existence it really was, she knew that as long as Sister Xiao Han was willing, even an Extraordinary Witch Mentor could be her actual customer; that level of trade transcended ordinary money or even Aoqin, hence Xiao Han would never value such base resources.
If… if Sister Xiaoyuan intended to mold her into a blade that strips away the malignant tumors of the Main World, the trifling chores that even Sister Xiaoyuan and the extraordinary academy are unwilling to do become her value!
Sister Xiaoyuan’s future pathways will not be confined to this world; even if she hasn’t yet ascended to extraordinary, she has the means to impact another world against the Main World, and this opens up a second battlefield. One can only imagine how elevated Sister Xiaoyuan’s vision really is.
Therefore, Sister Xiaoyuan’s actions must have deeper implications!
At this moment, Millien continued to elaborate in her mind, which couldn’t be blamed on her line of thought; perhaps her way of thinking was a testament to her value.
“Ahem… um… let’s not speak of such matters.” I cleared my throat to cover my slight embarrassment, but I didn’t deny such statements.
Millien thought further than I did; she was right. Once the Main World completely became a playground for witches, the existence of families would indeed be a malignant tumor, and reshuffling the order wouldn’t require the presence of old powers.
In any case, things should not be allowed for the people of the Main World to live as if in hell, right?
Reflecting on the families I just exited from, and recalling the hell on the Blood Slave Peninsula, the food shortages, blood taxes… It’s hard to imagine these concepts appear within an extraordinary power.
Even with merely extraordinary means, a global agricultural abundance could be achieved.
Though this idea was still not fully matured, excessive world welfare could indeed breed laziness, yet the Main World still had the time to explore a path suitable for them.
“I understand.”
Millien nodded, her heart further convinced of this point.
To personally end the family forces of the Core Realm… she was making history!
No… she was a participant in history!
Eventually.
This meeting concluded.
In essence, I had come merely to acquire those basic materials to lay the foundation for my servant army plan.
No one anticipated that Millien would come up with so much… As for how much this idea would affect others, no one knew, not even I or Millien could have clarity on that.
But what we did know was that the Main World would undoubtedly become better; this felt like a historical mission, adding significant weight to our hearts.
But Millien shouldered all of this.
Returning to the Witch Academy in the Core Realm.
I planned not to rush the matter of shaping the servant army but instead went to the Forging World Courtyard to find an Elder.
The potential for bloodline power under the control of Fool Dream exceeded my expectations, and the Sin Dream race could not merely become a “plaything” in my hands.
They were destined to be exposed to the public, so… I needed to carefully plan their future paths.
The most reliable option was naturally to find a solid friend for Sin Dream; the birth of this idea stemmed from Shelton and Sicha.
Their combination allowed me to foresee the possibilities for Sin Dream.
The Witch Race has no allies, so let’s find a friend for the witches.
The elders in the Forging World Courtyard were the representatives of the Witch Race’s will, perhaps they could indicate a pathway for me.
Without further ado.
As I teleported into the Forging World Courtyard through the Instance Realm’s key, I was greeted by the familiar sea of flowers.
I had been here many times; aside from meeting the Elder once, I had also met many other elders, the one who left the deepest impression on me was Elder Yizhu. I couldn’t tell if I should use “disrespectful” or “sassy” to describe her; if not for her “young big sister” appearance, which closely resembled Sister Bai, it would be hard to associate her with an “elder.”
Nevertheless, I sensed a unique aura from her, quite different from the sincerity I recognized in body cultivation; Elder Yizhu had more of a “child-like” mentality, returning to simplicity.
The Forging World Courtyard hadn’t been this lively in a long time; before, only the Meina family would occasionally visit for a chat with us, but considering my world’s timeline, it had been years since that happened. It’s great having Xiao Lian around, coming now and then to give us surprises.
Suddenly, she produced a bag of extraordinary fruits from behind her.
Her intent became clear at that moment:
“Then please, Xiao Han, prepare us a cup of Fool Dream juice? I’ve had it once; it tasted good, but unfortunately, the flavor I concocted after reverse-analyzing it never quite satisfied me. Isn’t that strange… it appears to be just a mixed fruit juice.”
“Uh… Elder Yizhu, if you want me to do something next time, just say it directly. No need for all this preamble… really not necessary.” I said with a hint of embarrassment, emphasizing at the end.
“That won’t do; how could I say it directly?” Elder Yizhu didn’t mind my awkwardness and pushed me from behind to sit on an empty stone bench.
“Tone it down a bit; if not for your identity as an elder, you’d definitely be the type that Xiao Han dislikes.” The Elder placed her red tea on a plate, nudging it towards the edge, then continued, “But speaking of the Fool Dream juice Xiao Han concocted, I’m somewhat interested. I heard from Mei that the creation of Fool Dream is somewhat related to the traditional potion-making techniques of witches, with many connections; I really want to witness it firsthand.”
