Although the Super Green Double Coupon could only be used on Green Chaos Blind Boxes, Wang Yi felt it was already incredibly powerful. A 128x multiplier on resources—this was the kind of boost that would let him skyrocket to the top.
’From now on, I just need to collect Green Blind Boxes, wait for a lucky break, and then milk the system for all it’s worth with this 128x multiplier. But I also have to consider the ti cost. I can’t just sit on this treasure forever. I need to secure an early advantage as soon as possible so this snowball can get bigger and bigger...’
Wang Yi was filled with joy. By now, all ten Green Blind Boxes had been opened. He tidied up a bit, then went to supervise the Purple-skinned Orcs at their alchemy.
Wang Yi had acquired a massive amount of food from the B78 ruins. Before that, opening Supply Treasure Chests had yielded ten tons each of white rice, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins. Now, after plundering the battlefield, he had obtained even more food.
He only had a little over four hundred Soldiers under his command. They couldn’t possibly eat it all. There was just no way!
If they couldn’t eat it all, they would use it for alchemy!
Wang Yi planned to start a business selling Fasting Pills. They were convenient to carry, easy to store, had a long shelf life, and their effects were potent. They were perfect for trading. He could sell them to Players or the Indigenous People of the World of Suffering in exchange for Gold Coins or system items. It was sure to be profitable.
Unfortunately, Wang Yi had only brought ten of the Spiritual Artifact rice cookers with him, leaving fifty-four behind in his territory. This hampered his alchemy production. To this day, he still hadn’t even finished processing all the food he’d gotten from the Supply Treasure Chests.
When Wang Yi found the Beastman Ladies, they were split into three groups.
One group was carving at from the Giant Dragon for alchemy.
Another was gathering the goblin corpses.
The last group acted as laborers, busily hauling and carrying supplies onto the small train.
They were working with feverish intensity.
These Beastman Ladies weren’t much good in a fight, but they were incredibly efficient workers—fearless of dirt and tireless, and extrely diligent.
In contrast, Leonidas, Taisen, Boyka, and the others were too restless and clumsy to be much good at that kind of work.
As Wang Yi watched the Beastman Ladies perform their alchemy, a chill ran down his spine.
He had wondered before if monster corpses could be used for alchemy, but he had been too squeamish to try. Now, seeing the formidable ladies carving up dragon at for alchemy, and even using local materials by chopping up Goblin Warrior corpses for pills, he finally knew the answer to that question.
’Damn it, if goblin corpses can be used for alchemy, human corpses probably can too. I guess it’s making full use of our resources, but this is a bit... No, I can’t dwell on it! I’d better make sure to store the Fasting Pills made from grain and the ones made from corpses separately in the future...’
Wang Yi shook his head. Since the Beastman Ladies were being so "thrifty" and "conscientious about not wasting food," he certainly wasn’t going to stop their spontaneous alchemy efforts.
After watching for a while, Wang Yi noticed that using the Giant Dragon’s flesh and blood for alchemy resulted in an extrely high yield. They could produce a batch in five minutes, with each batch yielding twenty to thirty Fasting Pills.
Using "Goblin Warriors" for alchemy yielded six or seven pills per batch, which was an even higher rate than using white rice.
Furthermore, the process seed to consu fewer Spirit Stones.
’These Beastman Ladies know how to find work for themselves. When it cos to alchemy, at least, they don’t need to direct them at all. We should have enough Spirit Stones to last a while. Oh well, I’ll just let them do their thing...’
After so thought, Wang Yi went to get the Spartan Warriors, the Brocade Guard, and the others. He had them go to the train car where he had opened the blind boxes to move the piano-loom and gather the Superman Outfits and other items.
When the Spartan Warriors saw the Superman Outfits, they imdiately showed a keen interest.
"What, you guys like these Superman Outfits with the underwear on the outside?"
Wang Yi asked a Leonidas next to him.
He knew that Soldier Types like the Leonidas warriors, recruited from barracks, only had simple personality templates. They rarely showed emotion, seed to have low intelligence, and were difficult to have a deep conversation with. Most of the ti, they wouldn’t even answer when spoken to.
But this ti was different. The Leonidas actually spoke. "Nice cloak!"
"Just the cloak?"
"Yes!"
"You don’t want the Superman trunks? They’re bright red—violent and festive!"
"No!"
"Alright, take the outfits apart. You can have the Superman cloaks!"
Hearing this, the Leonidas’s face lit up. He actually went forward, tore the cloak off the Superman outfit, and draped it over his own shoulders. Then, he put his hands on his hips and smugly showed it off to his companions.
Wang Yi took a look and, he had to admit, the big red cloak actually suited the Leonidas warrior quite well.
The other Leonidas warriors, right on cue, put on envious expressions. Then the whole group of muscular n sward around Wang Yi, their intentions perfectly clear: they all wanted Superman cloaks.
"Take them, take them! Take them all!"
At Wang Yi’s command, the Leonidas warriors sprang into action, and the Superman Outfits were rcilessly torn apart.
Soon, all forty-four Leonidas warriors were equipped with bright red Superman cloaks. As the saying goes, clothes make the man. It was as if they had been instantly transford from re Soldiers into heroes. Although their strength hadn’t increased, their appearance was now far more imposing and majestic.
At that mont, a group of Brocade Guards carried out the piano-loom.
Wang Yi quickly called over Tian Can and Earth Defect.
Although the Beastman Ladies had an artistic Talent, they hadn’t been trained yet. The only ones under Wang Yi’s command who could play music were Tian Can and Earth Defect.
Wang Yi told them to play the piano, and they actually did it. One Tian Can and one Earth Defect imdiately sat down in front of the piano-loom, without even taking off the coffin-board-like Ancient Zithers on their backs. They spoke in unison, "A single lody to break the heart; where in this vast world can a kindred spirit be found!"
Their expressions were perfect, but they just mashed the keys randomly. The sound that ca from the piano-loom was noisy and chaotic, with no beauty to speak of. Wang Yi figured that even a Taisen wearing boxing gloves couldn’t have played any worse.
