Chapter 122: City’s Condition
"A week? Already?"
Tyler was surprised when he heard that.
Daisy nodded.
"Yeah! You were so busy with your cultivation that we didn’t wake you up. I reached the peak of Soul Sublimation Realm during this time."
Hearing that, Tyler clicked his tongue.
"Alright then! I shouldn’t waste my time. What’s going on with the war? Did the fishmen attack again?"
Daisy’s expression got serious as she answered.
"No, but my spies have sent some bad news. The Fishmen are planning on sending a large army to destroy our city."
"They have been calling their people from the borders of different countries. If my spies are right, they are preparing an army of five thousand fishmen."
Even Tyler’s expression got serious when he heard that.
He wasn’t going to look down on that number even if it was completely comprised of apprentices.
He knew the consequences of underestimating the enemy.
More importantly, they were fishmen. Their natural strength was higher than that of humans. They also possessed incredible control over water.
More importantly, fishmen were united.
Unlike humans, who would constantly fight for profit, fishmen would only fight if their people were harmed.
But this also meant they lived under a monarchy. Because of this, Tyler didn’t continue to convince them.
The moment one of the royal family’s members’ children died, it was the start of the war.
"We need to defend the Coastal City, but if possible, I want to keep them out of the city. The war mustn’t reach our city."
"Do you think it is possible?"
Tyler asked.
Daisy paused and thought for a moment. Suddenly, her talk with Elena came to her mind.
"No, wait! Are you thinking about that bomb? It is impossible. We need the mana of ten Grandmasters if we want to build that bomb."
Hearing that, Tyler grinned and asked.
"What if we have something that can replace that?"
He raised his hand, showing off his Void Mana.
The moment it appeared, Daisy sensed a distortion in space. She could feel it because of her technique that allowed her to travel into another dimension.
If she hadn’t have that heightened she wouldn’t have been able to sense it.
"This....What kind of mana is this? Is this your original technique?"
Daisy knew his dual cultivation technique was his secondary technique, something within him.
His original technique was something else, but she didn’t know what it was.
"Void Mana! The creation of my original technique. Although I can’t use it to create a portal, you should understand what void represents."
"Absence of everything, a place where nothing could live. This mana borrows a little bit of Void Power, turning into an attribute of destructiveness."
"If we use this, do you think it is possible to make that bomb?"
Daisy paused for a moment as her expression turned serious.
"If we use fifteen percent of our current resources, then we can do it. But remember, Tyler, this will only slow down our company’s progress."
Tyler understood her concern.
That bomb he wanted to create was similar to a nuclear bomb in terms of power, but in terms of creation, it was the same as a normal Mana Bomb.
So, in order to generate that much power, a large amount of metal would be used to create the container for the mana and arrays.
More importantly, they couldn’t just use Yellowstone Ore. There were other metals that were required.
So, the cost was bound to go up.
Tyler thought for a moment before he remembered.
"Fundraiser!"
"Huh? You want someone else to pay for our weapons? Do you think they will invest in us instead of trying to destroy us?"
Daisy rolled her eyes and asked.
Tyler shook his head.
"No, no, I mean create that bomb and use it in the war. Although it is cruel, it is the most efficient way to end the enemy."
"Then, we will use our newspaper to spread the news. Our goal is not to ask for investment but to raise money through presale."
"Pre-Sale? What do you mean?"
This was quite a new topic for Daisy.
In the cultivation world, people would kill each other for resources, so nobody could imagine putting money on something that hadn’t even been made.
Tyler calmly explained.
"We will put on an exhibition after the war, showing the power of our weapons. At the same time, there will also be the impact of that bomb."
"Using these as leverage, we will announce that we will be limiting the sale of our weapon, producing one-fifth of our original goal."
"Only those who have ordered Pre-sale inventory will get our weapons. Once enough time has passed and enough money has been raised, our product will officially hit the market."
"Remember, the price can’t be too high. Only so little that it won’t affect the consumer after it is released later."
Hearing that, Daisy opened her mouth in shock.
"Wow! I never thought of such a tactic. If we use this method, we can earn enough money to start large-scale production."
Tyler gave her a surprised look and asked.
"So, what did you have in mind?"
"I was thinking of using the reserve money."
"Hmm! We don’t need to touch it until we desperately need it. Daisy, we can’t afford to make a mess in our territory."
Hearing that, Daisy nodded.
"I will do my best, Tyler."
Tyler cracked a smile.
"So, what’s next? Is there something else I need to know?"
"Yeah! Nezumi has reached the third stage."
"Whoa! Seriously?"
Tyler couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise.
"Yes, and we found the real treasure hiding underneath mine."
Daisy turned around and took him outside the mine. On his way, Tyler met a lot of people.
They were all citizen of this city.
"By the way, where are Garvin and Elena?"
Tyler, unable to find these two people, immediately asked.
"Garvin is working on supplies. His son has become an alchemist and is currently producing a large number of pills for the people."
"Not to mention, Garvin is also helping me with hiring employees for the newspaper company and the weapons industry."
"As for Elena, she is busy making arrays for Sher King. It seems like she has gotten quite a lot of benefits during the dual cultivation."
Although Daisy was at a higher realm than Elena, she had a feeling that she was several times weaker.
And it wasn’t because of their techniques.
Knowing about her inheritance, Daisy was genuinely envious.
"Hmm! That’s knowledge of God. Before dual cultivation, she couldn’t comprehend most of it."
"But during dual cultivation, she must’ve entered an enlightened state where she could easily decipher and master those arrays."
"I believe it won’t be long before we see an array that can automatically make bombs as I want."
Hearing that, Daisy couldn’t help but show some hesitation.
"Tyler, doing this will take jobs of humans!"
Tyler interrupted her and said.
"I know what you are saying, Daisy. But you need to understand something. Humans’ biggest strength is their creativity."
"I know not all people are equal. Some people rely on labor to survive, but that doesn’t mean it has to be included in bomb making."
At this moment, Tyler gave her a wink and said.
"Think about it, Daisy! Our world isn’t small, but it is just a planet. There are countless planets in the universe."
"If we put those humans in a factory to make those bombs, who will explore that universe?"
Hearing that, Daisy asked.
"What if the universe has already been conquered by other races? Don’t forget about those realms!"
Tyler shook his head.
"Think about the law of energy! It can’t be destroyed or created, only transferred or transformed."
"That means new worlds are being born every few seconds. Even if the universe has been conquered, don’t you want to explore it all?"
"Our starting point might be this city, but our journey will be the sea of stars!"
He said while looking into the bright blue sky. Because it was daytime, he couldn’t see any stars
Even so, he didn’t care. He had already made his ambition clear.
"Alright! But once we start the company, there will be a lot of people with ill intentions trying to take over our city."
"The weaker ones might get intimidated by the power of that bomb, but stronger ones will not."
Hearing that, Tyler nodded.
"So, after this, I will dual cultivate with Jenny, reach the peak of this realm, travel to the Purple Cloud Country and breakthrough to the next realm."
"It will not be easy."
Daisy added.
"I am not afraid."
Tyler chuckled.
Naturally, she meant the army of the Purple Cloud Country, but with his current strength, he naturally didn’t need to fear a group of Masters.
He only feared Grandmaster.
He looked back at his mansion and several construction buildings as he sighed.
"Daisy, we can’t waste time. As my strength improves, if this city doesn’t, I don’t want to choose between leaving it behind."
