Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 1370: Full of Resources

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan’s request did not seem like a business investment to Sun Ningxiang. It seemed that he wanted to use Condense Fairy Orchard to prepare for something.

Sun Ningxiang thought about the fight between Chief Guard Ye, the First Emperor Shark Clan, and the Freedom Federation yesterday. Her heart skipped a beat when a guess entered her mind.

“Lin Yuan, are you asking Condense Fairy Orchard to prepare various plant-type fey resources in anticipation of war?”

Lin Yuan nodded. This was exactly what he had in mind.

Yesterday, the lava that fell from the sky had allowed him to understand the devastation that war could cause a city. If any expert used celestial phenomena to attack and destroy a city, many of the current infrastructures would collapse. When that happened, the city would need a sufficient stock of resources to handle the crisis.

This was exactly the preparation that Lin Yuan wanted to carry out.

“You’re right. While Condense Fairy Orchard is stocking up on resources, your ranking as a top faction will not increase significantly. In fact, I hope that Condense Fairy Orchard will remain as under the radar as possible and invest all your effort into accumulating plant-type fey-related resources. A large number of resources will be used up in this process, but I will supply Condense Fairy Orchard with these resources.”

Previously, Lin Yuan wanted to rely on nurturing the Soldier Ration Radish to provide food for a large group of people. Once the Soldier Ration Radish was separated to a certain extent, it was even possible that he would be able to provide food for the entire Radiance Federation.

However, yesterday’s events made Lin Yuan aware that he had thought of everything too simply.

Food was a necessity. But besides food, people also needed many more things in order to survive. If these things were not prepared, any abnormal situation would bring about disaster.

Plant-type feys supported the entire ecosystem. By stocking up on plant-type fey-related resources, Lin Yuan would be able to handle anything that came his way in the future.

The Radiance Federation actually had special stocks. The department that handled this was Cultivated Garden which Lin Yuan had traded with Revival Soil for heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

Just like the Spirit Guards, Cultivated Garden was managed by a member of royalty, Tian Feng.

It was not that Lin Yuan did not believe in Cultivated Garden’s stock but that he was the type to prepare to the greatest extent.

Moreover, the Spirit Lock spatial zone was a storeroom that did not require much investment but could still maintain a high influx of resources. Lin Yuan could afford to use up resources with the Spirit Lock spatial zone around.

Sun Ningxiang immediately knew what she could do for Lin Yuan and felt a wave of motivation swell up within her.

“Lin Yuan, I never hoped for Condense Fairy Orchard’s ranking to increase after we joined Sky City. Tomorrow, my grandmother and I will publicly announce that Condense Fairy Orchard shall be staying out of the public eye.

“Condense Fairy Orchard will start focusing on gathering plant-type fey-related resources. From now on, I will let you know of any resources I need without holding back so that I’ll be able to stock up on resources as quickly as possible.

“Unfortunately, other factions have bought most of the places with good-quality soil that is suitable to build breeding bases. The other places will need to be renovated to some extent.”

Lin Yuan had a solution. Places with soil that was suitable for planting were rare in the Radiance Federation. However, they were in abundance in the marsh world.

Lin Yuan had taken over the Dark Scorpion’s territory, which was as large as a major city in Radiance City. Although most of the territory was a marsh, Lin Yuan had the ability to change the marsh world as he needed.

White Speak protected the entire territory, so there was no question of safety.

Lin Yuan could set aside a wide area within the territory on which he would create a plant-type fey breeding base.

However, this area would need people to willingly leave their current lives to tend to.

Lin Yuan said, “Sun Ningxiang, I have a place with soil that’s suitable for constructing a breeding base. However, the people who work there will have to leave their current lives. As compensation, I will give them ten times the pay they would receive for doing the same work anywhere else. The workers’ parents can also move to stay at this place. How many of such people do you think Condense Fairy Orchard has?”

Sun Ningxiang did not immediately agree.

“These people exist in droves in Condense Fairy Orchard. Most of the people working in a breeding base are ordinary people or experts that do not have much combat power. They work in four shifts of six hours every day and are given a salary of about 4,000 Radiance dollars every month. If they’re given ten times the normal pay, it’s unlikely that any of them will say no.”

Sun Ningxiang had more things to say to Lin Yuan but did not know how to voice them.

In Sun Ningxiang’s eyes, Lin Yuan was the disciple of royalty and Sky City’s City Lord. He possessed an untold amount of resources. As such, he could not understand the hardships that a regular person had to struggle with.

As a direct descendant of a top faction, Sun Ningxiang also should not be aware of it.

She only came to learn about them because she had spent time training under her grandfather at Condense Healing. During that time, she came to understand the ins and outs of an ordinary person’s life.

Lin Yuan nodded.

Sun Ningxiang did not know Lin Yuan’s life had been even harder than those ordinary people working at breeding bases.

At that time, he would drag his ailing body around as he managed a spirit lifeform store. Even with Auntie Zhang’s care, he only earned 2,000 Federation dollars each month.

He had used 300 Federation dollars on food and 200 Federation dollars to occasionally switch up Genius and Chimey’s food. Lin Yuan carefully saved up the remaining 1,500 Federation dollars for the sake of Chi Ci’s education.

No one else knew better than Lin Yuan how unbearable life could be.

Lin Yuan emphasized, “Please help me pick out some people. You need to emphasize that they will need to retreat from society for the rest of their lives.”

Sun Ningxiang was slightly stunned. Retreating from society for up to a decade was one thing, but never being able to return to their original lives again was too extreme!

Lin Yuan had his own considerations. He could not verify the loyalty of the people working at the breeding base. Hence, the best way to prevent the circumstance of the marsh world from being leaked was to keep them in the marsh world forever.
