The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 858: Chapter 550: Current Situation in Fusang

Lin Guang glanced at the scenery speeding by outside and revealed a teasing smile:

"You’ve been going on business trips for half a month lately, and twice a month... Apple Pie Logistics is really doing well."

Remyu giggled: "Oh, it’s all thanks to Texas and Miss Finn Xi’s help! If I’m the CEO, then they’re definitely the vice-presidents!"

She took out a few steaming paper packages from her Storage Ring: "Come on, come on, have a pie. This is something I brought back from Snow Ridge Province!"

Lin Guang glanced at them, his nostrils twitching: "?"

"Aren’t these leek pockets?"

Remyu playfully opened a package and took a bite: "Oh, who says leek pockets aren’t pies?"

"Mmm, the savory flavor is actually quite nice too."

— As the [Tower of Babel Manufacturing] and that collective Floating City gradually grew, just as Lin Guang said, it quickly became an important supplier of many unique Spiritual Materials within just half a year.

As for Remyu...

It seems that her restless nature began to stir, or perhaps she had been holding back for too long for over a decade.

She very much wanted to see Great Xia and tour this vast land.

"Wow, what a cool statement!"

"But today is really a lucky day. I just returned to Coastal City, and I stumbled upon the state finals and happened to see the remarks during the live broadcast... LUCKY～"

On Train CC0001, the red-haired girl with a halo sat beside Lin Guang in the comfortable seat, playfully examining the face of the person in front of her.

He seemed to have grown a bit, yet still appeared to be that young lad, only the past year’s timeless sediment had worn away some of his youthful impetuousness. The current Lin Guang seemed very reserved, but possessed a profound and inscrutable sea-like aura.

Lin Guang looked at the rapid passing scenery outside before turning to her, showing a teasing smile:

"You’ve been going on business trips for half a month lately, and twice a month... Apple Pie Logistics is really doing well."

Remyu giggled: "Oh, it’s all thanks to Texas and Miss Finn Xi’s help! If I’m the CEO, then they’re definitely the vice-presidents!"

She took out a few steaming paper packages from her Storage Ring: "Come on, come on, have a pie. This is something I brought back from Snow Ridge Province!"

Lin Guang looked at the packages in her hand, his nostrils twitching, a strangely familiar and slightly pungent aroma wafted into his nose: "?"

"Aren’t these leek pockets?"

Remyu playfully opened a package and took a bite: "Oh, who says leek pockets aren’t pies?"

After saying that, she nodded: "Mmm, having something savory once in a while is actually quite nice."

The two sat side by side in the luxurious carriage, eating these leek pockets, perfectly preserved in the Spiritual Artifact, under the sun shining through the train window.

The humble yet tasty flavor of leek and egg slipped into their mouths, the juice and slightly charred, crispy texture combining into a simple yet satisfying sensation.

As she ate, she spoke: "This time we’ve managed to seal a few more cross-state orders."

"Snow Ridge Province, huh? That’s quite far indeed."

— As the [Tower of Babel Manufacturing] and that collective Floating City gradually grew.

Just as Lin Guang said, it quickly became an important supplier of many Low Tier unique Spiritual Materials, and even semi-finished products, within just half a year.

The importance of this is essentially irreplaceable.

For instance.

[White Cleansing Flame]

A unique Tier Four Blue Spiritual Material.

This happens to be the most precious and essential material for cultivating and evolving a certain weapon-type Spirit Beast named [Moon Spirit Sword]. It can greatly enhance its Potential before evolution, providing the most solid foundation for its future growth.

And the [Moon Spirit Sword] happens to be the most important inherited Spirit Beast of the veteran Master of War Sect [Fenghua Gate] in Yue Shui Province.

However, due to its unique Secret Realm, also the origin of its inheritance, [White Emperor Palace] having been severely damaged by a beast tide over a hundred years ago, the production quantity has been declining and is on the brink of extinction. Even with extreme conservation, they can only watch helplessly as the stock depletes.

Indeed.

If there were someone exceptionally gifted, they could naturally modify the inheritance or find ways among countless Spiritual Materials to concoct a potion with similar effects, or perhaps find ways to re-cultivate it.

But speaking of such things is easy, whereas in reality, how can it be that simple?

In truth, the reason [Fenghua Gate] can still maintain its sect inheritance is largely due to exchanging for these unique Spiritual Materials at the system point in Coastal City.

However, exchanging non-existent Spiritual Materials out of thin air at the system point is quite costly, the premium is very significant, comparable to higher tier Spiritual Materials.

After all, this seems related to the [Rule] held by the system. Though indeed transparently priced to achieve creation from nothing, it does not imply that the system, as a mechanized Holy Beast, is a deity specialized in this domain.

Even if the prices are so high, there probably isn’t much profit involved.

Therefore...

[Fenghua Gate] has been in a rather awkward situation in recent years.

It’s expensive, but they have no choice but to scrimp and save to buy.

Without buying, the inheritance would cease, so having something to sell is already fortunate!

This isn’t an isolated case, but rather somewhat common.

Great Xia, although only three hundred years old, has inherited countless traditions from a myriad of worlds across the void for millennia, even longer. Many unique Spiritual Materials, Spirit Beasts, and inheritances all come from the same Secret Realm.

However, the Secret Realm itself is not necessarily stable; most are on a path to decline.

Even if the inheritance can rely on True Intent and True Body, as long as True Masters and Beast Kings continually emerge, the legacy can persist, yet the remaining issues are significant.
