Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 289 - 236: Taking Stock of the Harvest (Part 2)

"Is that Ming King?" The Golden Lion statue’s eyes flew open. "Understood. I will activate the Divine Kingdom Teleportation immediately!"

"My thanks!"

Li Bozhen clasped his hands in a salute. The next moment, a seven-colored light descended from the sky, swiftly enveloping him. An instant later, the seven-colored light vanished, and with it, Li Bozhen’s figure.

In the Huaguo Mountain Territory, at the very center of the surface domain, next to the Level 4 Peach of Immortality tree, a flash of light appeared, and Wang Yi and Li Longyu emerged.

They had been sent back directly to Huaguo Mountain.

Li Longyu stretched and said, "We’re finally back! I’m going to take a bath and then sleep comfortably for a whole day!"

Wang Yi, however, was receiving a flood of system notifications.

"Ding! Your subordinate, Martial Saint Fengyu Cultivator, has obtained 6 Green Blind Boxes in the War Arena. They have been deposited into the Chaos Warehouse. Please check your inventory."

"Ding! Your Grand General, Xiang Yun, has obtained 26 Universal Experience Books in the Martial Arts Arena. The items have been deposited into the Chaos Warehouse. Please check your inventory!"

"Ding! Your Grand General, Pan Taiji, has obtained 3 Green Blind Boxes, 1 Purple Blind Box, and 2 Fantasy Gemstones in the Fantasy Grand Arena. The items have been deposited into the Chaos Warehouse. Please check your inventory!"

"Ding! For killing the Prince of the Ancient Barbarian Country, some of the dropped items have been stored in the Chaos Warehouse. Please check your inventory!"

’All the reward items were sent to the Chaos Warehouse. Not bad!’

Wang Yi thought about how fruitful his trip to the Chaotic World Royal Court had been. He was buzzing with excitement, not the least bit tired. After quickly getting Li Longyu settled, he hurried off to the Chaos Warehouse to take stock of his gains.

"No one is to enter without my permission!"

At the entrance to the Chaos Warehouse, Wang Yi saw Yuan Yao and Liu Qin and had the two of them stand guard.

Once inside the warehouse courtyard, the first thing Wang Yi did was open the Rapid Development Gift Pack he received as a reward for Li Bozhen’s quest.

"Ding! You have opened the Rapid Development Gift Pack. Congratulations! You have received 1,000,000 Gold Coins, 30 tons of refined rice, 30 tons of flour, 30 Middle Grade Chaos Crystal Stones, 3,000 fine Iron Swords, and one set of Construction Drawings for the Chaos Grain Silo!"

’That’s it?’

Slightly disappointed, Wang Yi nevertheless sorted the items he’d received, used the Chaos Crystal Stones on the spot, and then opened his Starlight Bracelet to organize all the various supplies he had gathered on his trip, along with the materials in the Chaos Warehouse.

Upon learning of Wang Yi’s return, Jelena, Wang Bushi, Nangong Jin, Fish-Transformed Dragon, Hai Zhongxian, Xiang Yun, and others all came to pay their respects, but they were stopped by Yuan Yao and Liu Qin.

Yuan Yao went to the Chaos Warehouse to report, then came out and said, "The Master said there is no need for formalities. You should all go about your business!"

Hearing this, Nangong Jin and the others left, but Jelena, Pei Xue, and Wang Bushi did not. They waited outside the Chaos Warehouse.

A full hour passed before Wang Yi walked out of the Chaos Warehouse, a pleased smile on his face.

Wang Bushi and Jelena came forward to salute, but Wang Yi waved his hand dismissively and brought out the Floating Cloud Boat he had acquired from the Cloud Sky Runway. "Get on board first," he said. "I’m very busy. Whatever you have to say, we can talk on the way!"

The two "children" and Pei Xue boarded the Floating Cloud Boat. Wang Yi controlled the boat, taking off and slowly steering it toward the First Dining Hall.

Jelena bowed to him and said, "Father, over the past few days, Eggshell Village has taken in over ten thousand refugees. Most of them are able-bodied young adults sent by King Dongsheng’s Prince Mansion to clear land, and more will be sent in the future."

Wang Yi nodded. "With so many refugees, I doubt Eggshell Village can house them all. Is there enough food?"

Jelena nodded. "Food isn’t an issue. The village has a large supply of Fasting Pills, so we can support even another hundred thousand people. The problem is housing. We don’t have nearly enough Ecological Houses, so a large number of refugees are currently gathered at Eggshell Pier."

"Understood! Once I’m done here, I’ll go over and build a batch of deluxe sheds to get them settled for now."

As Wang Yi spoke, he landed the Floating Cloud Boat. The boat had traveled less than a hundred meters from takeoff to landing and was now parked behind the First Dining Hall.

"Jelena, this Floating Cloud Boat is pretty nice, isn’t it? It’s yours now!"

Wang Yi was deliberately showing off the Floating Cloud Boat.

He thought the boat was decent and would be perfect for Jelena to use for inspecting the territory.

Jelena was overjoyed. "Thank you, Father!" she said quickly.

"My son, there’s a gift for you too!" Wang Yi then took out the [Broken Wind and Fire Wheel]. "It’s a little gadget for getting around. Go on, play with it!"

Unlike the mature and steady Jelena, Wang Bushi was just a kid—reckless and mischievous. He was even holding the leash of a mechanical bichon frise.

When Wang Bushi saw the Wind and Fire Wheel that Wang Yi took out, he reacted as if he’d discovered a new toy. After a moment of fiddling, he equipped it and said gleefully, "Thanks, Father! I will live and die with it, and we will perish together!"

"My son is so bold!"

Wang Yi laughed heartily. ’Wang Bushi has already grasped the true meaning of resurrection,’ he thought. ’Only he would dare to joke about perishing together and could truly live and die with the Broken Wind and Fire Wheel.’

Next, Wang Yi used his Building Translation skill to move a Peach Blossom Forest, then built the Chaos Grain Silo on the cleared land.

The Chaos Grain Silo was a building similar to the Chaos Warehouse. It had one hundred storage compartments and could only be used to store food. All residents of the territory could freely deposit and withdraw resources from it.

After the Chaos Grain Silo was built, Wang Yi opened his Starlight Bracelet and stored the various grains he had just gotten from the Rapid Development Gift Pack inside.

Jelena watched intently from the side.

Wang Yi said, "From now on, store the grain, fresh peaches, and so on here. By the way, have Cao Dalang and Pan Taiji been settled in properly?"

Jelena quickly replied, "They’ve been settled in. Cao Dalang is in the First Dining Hall making baked cakes. As for Pan Taiji..."

Wang Bushi raised his hand. "Pan Taiji is my roommate! He’s sleeping in my room!"

"Mm, Pan Taiji is honest and obedient, and he gets stronger by sleeping, so he’s easy to handle. But you must pay close attention to Cao Dalang. Don’t be fooled by his plain appearance; his talent is extraordinary. He could become the territory’s top master, but he could also become its greatest disaster. Pay him his wages on time, arrange good lodging for him, and if you find out he likes a woman, try to set them up if you can. In the future, we need to find him 16 wives!"

"Understood!" Jelena nodded and said to her secretary, Pei Xue, "Take this down!"

Pei Xue, holding a small notebook, immediately began to write it all down diligently.

Just then, Wang Bushi raised his hand and said, "Father, I have a request. Please grant it."

"What is it? Speak!"

"The Barbarian Guard is leading the Manzi Camp on an eastern expedition and has already pushed into the Ancient Barbarian Country’s territory. I want to join the battle, too. It’s too boring staying at home."

"The Manzi Camp’s eastern expedition..."

Wang Yi looked at Jelena and asked, "Is there any news from the front?"

"Yes!" Jelena said. "The Prince of the Ancient Barbarian Country died suddenly, throwing their entire army into turmoil. The Manzi Camp has been advancing like a hot knife through butter, crushing cities and capturing strongholds, invincible in direct confrontation. However, Zhao Wukang sent word yesterday that the Barbarian Camp’s logistics are a bit strained. They’re short on healing medicine, and some of the Taisen Soldiers are fighting while injured. I’ve already contacted Alchemist Zhao to ask her to help refine some supply pills."

Wang Bushi said, "I can deliver them!"

Wang Yi nodded. "I have some supplies here. Bushi, you can take them to Man Datou and Zhao Wukang. You can leave in a bit. Have Frank take you there in the Galaxy Airship."

Wang Bushi was overjoyed at this. "Thank you, Father, for letting me go!"

Wang Yi then took out a Storage Ring.

Inside the Storage Ring were Barbarian Witch Blood Stones and the [Celestial God-level Witch Doctor’s Reclassification Certificate].

The Barbarian Witch Blood Stones were for Man Datou. There were 16 in total. One was dropped by Gu Man Wanshou, and the remaining 15 were dropped by the princes of the Ancient Barbarian Country upon their deaths, which the system had collected and sent to the Chaos Warehouse.

As for the [Celestial God-level Witch Doctor’s Reclassification Certificate], Wang Yi had already unsealed it. He hoped Zhao Wukang would be able to use it.

The Heavenly God-level Wizard was a powerful support combat class capable of casting the [Scouting Divine Eye] for continuous reconnaissance, the [Static Divine Talisman] for invisibility and wide-area stuns, and the [Divine Healing Totem] for continuous group healing.

If Zhao Wukang could reclassify into this class, healing supplies would no longer be a problem, and it would drastically increase the Manzi Camp’s staying power.

Wang Yi also gave the Spear of Destruction to Wang Bushi. A moment later, he called for the All-Purpose Driver, Frank, and then Wang Bushi took the Galaxy Airship to the battlefield.

Wang Yi chatted with Jelena for a little while longer before getting busy himself.

He had numerous rewards and a huge amount of supplies that needed to be processed as soon as possible.
