Ch 380: Nahida: Long Time No See, Everyone

Nahida climbed onto her office chair, stood on it, and used one hand to prop herself up on the desk as she searched through files.

After a moment, Nahida found the file she was looking for, hugged it, and with a “hey” sound, jumped off the chair.

“Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, I’m going to inspect the Mushroom Pig Pasture first.”

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata smiled and nodded.

“Good, come back early.”

Nahida nodded in agreement.

Half an hour later, Nahida arrived at the Mushroom Pig Pasture.

All the plants and animals of Old Sumeru were transplanted to New Sumeru.

And sixty percent of the Mushroom Pigs were concentrated in the Mushroom Pig Pasture.

It is worth mentioning that there are currently few prisoners in New Sumeru’s prison.

You want to ask about the previous prisoners? Sorry, they were all left in Old Sumeru.

New Sumeru has no place for them; they were left in Old Sumeru to fend for themselves.

The Mushroom Pig Pasture is located in a river valley bottom area.

The terrain here is flat, with a river running nearby, and it has fertile vegetation, making it very suitable for developing animal husbandry.

Under the guidance of the Staff, Nahida went to the young pig area, opened the fence, and entered.

Mushroom Pigs are currently Sumeru’s largest industry. In the young pig area alone, there are tens of thousands of Mushroom Pigs.

Not to mention the adult area; there are even more there, a full 50,000 plus.

These Mushroom Pigs are also fed very well every day. A small amount of wheat bran plus a large amount of various mushrooms makes their meat very tender and has a strong, fresh mushroom scent.

Nahida picked up a young pig and looked at it. It was very lively, clearly well-raised.

Nahida said to the Staff behind her.

“Send an adult Mushroom Pig to my place tonight; I want to host a dinner for friends.”

The Staff member gave orders, and several Forest Rangers went to catch an adult Mushroom Pig.

The Forest Rangers are the army of New Sumeru; the previous Thirty-Person Squad has been disbanded.

Dehya and Rakshasa are the deputy commanders, and Tighnari is the commander.

The entire Forest Ranger army numbers 30,000, which is enough to control the entire New Sumeru territory.

Tighnari is still continuously recruiting new soldiers.

However, the results are not very good.

There’s no way around it; the total population is there. With a total population of only over 1 million, being able to recruit 30,000 soldiers is already considered very good.

Most of them are former Desert Mercenaries and soldiers from the Thirty-Person Squad.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and Nahida have implemented a series of welfare measures to increase the population.

Things like giving 100,000 Credit Points for having one child, 300,000 Credit Points for a second child, and for a third child, it’s incredible—they directly give you a house, a 3-bedroom or 4-bedroom house of around 150 square meters.

Needless to say, after this policy was implemented, there were far fewer people strolling the streets of Sumeru at night; everyone went to work hard.

Liyue next door does better in this aspect. Ningguang doesn’t lack money and throws money around crazily to boost birth rates.

500,000 for one child, another 1 million for the second, and a house plus 1 million for the third.

Liyue’s latest Report shows that the number of pregnant women has increased by 70 percentage points compared to last month, with significant results.

After inspecting the Mushroom Pig Pasture, Nahida came to a nearby Farm.

The Farm grows enough Crops, Vegetables, and Fruits to supply the entire Sumeru.

Nahida thought, since I’m here, I might as well take a look at the Farm next door.

Nahida took a Basket from the Staff, hung it on her arm, and strolled through the Fields.

When she saw good-looking melons and fruits, Nahida would pick them and put them in the Basket. She would cook them later in the evening.

“This tomato is good; take a few and mix them with some white sugar tonight.

This cucumber is also quite good; make some sliced cucumbers.

Wow~ This watermelon sounds so good when I knock it; it’s a good one. Let’s take it back.”

After packing the melons and fruits, Nahida set off on her way back.

Returning to the office Building, Nahida first had the Kitchen Staff take the Mushroom Pig and melons and fruits she brought back to process them.

“I’m having guests for dinner tonight. There might be dozens of people, so you’ll have to work hard.”

The Head Chef in the Kitchen smiled.

“No problem, leave it to us, Lesser Lord Kusanali.”

Nahida nodded, took the Elevator back to the top floor, greeted Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and then entered the Portal.

At this moment, in Ye Yun’s Shop.

Xing looked at Lisa Bubu with a worried expression.

“Lisa Bubu~ Why don’t you go to March’s Room today to keep March company? Maybe with your companionship, March will wake up?”

Xing tried to persuade Lisa Bubu to give up today’s Competition. To be honest, among these Sprites, only Lisa Bubu could pose a threat to their Mires.

They weren’t worried about the others; they could just crush them.

Lisa Bubu wasn’t a fool; she rolled her eyes at Xing, turned around, and walked into the Portal to the Joyful Little Planet.

Xing sighed when she saw this.

“Sigh~ I feel like I’m going to make a fool of myself today. I raised my status so high; if I lose, won’t I lose face?”

Topa smiled.

“There’s no way around it. According to the original Script, none of the Sprites were Mires’ opponents this time.

Then, in this first Competition, you would still win the final victory, continue sitting on the Sprite King’s throne, and be shaped into the image of a Demon King.

Who would have thought that Lisa Bubu would appear out of nowhere.”

Xing looked at Mires.

“Mires, we have to do our best.”

Mires pounded his chest.

“Mika!”

At this time, Nahida walked in.

“Good morning, everyone.”

Furina was very surprised to see Nahida and rushed over.

“Nahida, long time no see!”

Nahida looked at Furina, who was close at hand, and smiled sincerely.

“Long time no see, Furina, how have you been recently?”

Furina said.

“I’m fine. I’ve become a big star in the Universe!”

Nahida said after hearing this.

“Nilou mentioned this to me.

By the way, are you free tonight? Would you like to come to my place for dinner?”

Furina said after hearing this.

“Yes, I only have one schedule today, which is to perform at the Sprite Competition Sprite King Challenge.”

Nahida then looked at the others.

“If you’re free tonight, come over for dinner. Tonight’s dishes are all from our Sumeru pasture and Farm; they’re very high-quality.”

Xing, Hu Tao, and Liuyin, this group of idle people, naturally agreed directly.

Jing Yuan wanted to agree, but under Fu Xuan’s slightly threatening gaze, he refused.

Fu Xuan said.

“General, you also have to attend an Alliance meeting tonight.”

Jing Yuan nodded.

“Yes, I know, Fu Qing.”

Seeing this, Qingque quietly took out her Mobile Phone to leave a message for Nahida.

Hehe, I’m still the clever one. I won’t say it face-to-face; I’ll secretly send it privately.

Just as Qingque was feeling smug, Fu Xuan called out Qingque’s name.

“Qingque, you also have to participate tonight. This matter concerns you. The Goods Information you copied will be announced at the meeting tonight, so that the Generals and the Marshal can discuss what Items to buy.

You will also temporarily act as a Clerk to record the meeting contents.”

Qingque was instantly dumbfounded. Ah? I’m just a small Employee of the Bureau of Divination. How could I possibly participate in the Alliance meeting!

Wuwuwuwu~ I was going to eat dinner and then get together to play Diyuan Qiongyu! It’s all over!!! All gone!!!

Nahida counted the number of people and sent a Message to the Head Chef.

Afterwards, Nahida followed the main group to the Joyful Little Planet.

Inside the Joyful Little Planet.

Today, the entire entertainment Resort Area is packed with people; it’s a sea of people.

Today, the first-place Contestant will be decided, and that person will challenge the incredibly powerful Sprite King.

Therefore, many people chose to come to the Joyful Little Planet to watch.

Even if they couldn’t get into the Stadium, they could watch on the large Plaza outside the Stadium.

To cater to these people’s emotions, Sand Gold had people add several huge screens outside the Stadium overnight, allowing those who didn’t buy tickets to watch around the Stadium.

Basically, the entire Universe’s attention is focused on the Joyful Little Planet.

The Company’s senior management also saw the potential of the Sprite Competition. If it is managed well, it will become the Company’s most profitable Project.

A Livestream has tens of millions of viewers. This level of attention couldn’t be higher.

The originally uncoordinated Board of Directors reached a unified opinion on this matter—to fully support it.

And this Project will be fully managed by the Strategic Investment Department; other Departments must fully cooperate.

This angered Schneider. The Strategic Investment Department! You just wait! I’ll get even someday!

If Sand Gold knew Schneider’s thoughts, he would be happy for him to quickly come looking for trouble, so he would have a legitimate reason to deal with Schneider.

The day before yesterday, Boteau found Sand Gold; Boteau came to find trouble with Sand Gold.

Later, after the two of them talked, wow! It turned out that they were natural allies!

Sand Gold immediately pulled Boteau to the Bar to drink, denouncing Schneider’s evil deeds.

Boteau also found Sand Gold very much to his liking, so he stayed and became the Security Director of Sand Gold’s tourism Resort Area.

From time to time, whenever they have time, the two of them would get together to drink and scold Schneider; it was so enjoyable.

As for whether they worry about not being able to fight?

What if they can’t fight? They can just call for help.

Did they really think the Red Envelopes Sand Gold sends in the group from time to time are for nothing?

Not to mention, spending some Star Coins to get Xing over is easy.

Still can’t fight? Simple, keep calling for help, give some Resources and Equipment to Theresa, and have her call Kiana.

Xing and Kiana are not enough? Then they can only use their ultimate weapon, spend a lot of money to buy Huangquan some Pills that can keep her awake, and have Huangquan strike a blow.

Would Sand Gold be afraid of Schneider? Would I, a member of the Ye Yun Shop customer group, be afraid of you, a bum?

Boteau also likes his current Work. Sand Gold doesn’t restrict Boteau’s freedom; he can do whatever he wants, as long as he maintains order.

Boteau called many Sea Patrol Rangers who had withdrawn from the front lines due to Injuries.

Many of these Sea Patrol Rangers suffered irreversible Injuries on the Battlefield, such as missing an arm or leg.

Sea Patrol Rangers don’t have a fixed base, so these people have more or less difficulties in life.

Boteau called these people over to be Security Guards.

These people are real veterans from the front lines, and maintaining order is a piece of cake for them.

Sand Gold’s benefits are also good, giving these people a place to retire, so at least they won’t suffer materially.

Boteau’s reputation among the Sea Patrol Rangers is also very good, and these people are willing to work for Boteau.

When Jing Yuan learned about the whole thing, he was filled with regret; if he had known, he would have gone to recruit them.

They were all companions who followed the Hunt; if he had gone to recruit them at the time, Boteau would have definitely agreed.

And there would definitely be no objections within the Immortal Vessel.

It’s a joke; these are their real Brothers, except one is an official Faction, and the other is a civilian Faction.

The Sea Patrol Rangers are genuine and proper Hunt followers.

In the Universe, sometimes Immortal Vessel people will encounter Sea Patrol Rangers. After introducing their identities, two people who were originally hostile to each other might immediately get together and drink like good Brothers.

They are all their own people, so what’s there to be afraid of? Would their own Brothers harm them?

Jing Yuan still talked to Boteau, and Boteau also introduced some Sea Patrol Rangers who had withdrawn from the front lines to Luofu.

“General Jingyuan, although the batch I introduced to you only has a dozen people, they were all from the group that participated in the annihilation of the Annihilation Monarch; you must treat them well.”

Jing Yuan was overjoyed. Good! Good! Good! They were actually from that batch! These were the elite of the elite!

“Of course, they are all Brothers of the Hunt; I, Jing Yuan, will definitely take good care of them.

In the future, if there are any like them, you can contact me, and I will arrange it!”

Boteau agreed.

“That’s easy. I’ll go busy now. There are too many people today; I have to go on Patrol and see if anyone dares to cause trouble.”

Jing Yuan nodded.

“Okay, you go ahead. When you’re free, come to Luofu; I’ll treat you to the best wine in Luofu.”

The Competition hasn’t started yet, and many Tourists are shopping.

Feixiao is currently taking Huangquan for a stroll.

Feixiao bought two strings of Candied Hawthorns and gave one to Huangquan.

“Here, try these Candied Hawthorns.”

Huangquan bit into the Candied Hawthorns and reached out to hold the Skewers.

“Hmm~ It tastes good.”

Feixiao heard Huangquan say this.

“Then another one?”

Huangquan nodded dumbly.

“Hmm.”

Huangquan is inseparable from Feixiao every day.

Even at general-level Meetings, Feixiao would bring Huangquan along.

Marshal Hua didn’t mind; this was equivalent to getting a free expert; how could he possibly push others away?

The other Generals didn’t have any objections either; they already knew Huangquan’s information; Jiaoqiu had already reported it.

After reading the Information, everyone dropped their guard against her.

First, Huangquan does not belong to any Faction; she is a lone wolf.

Second, she wouldn’t participate in the intrigue and infighting between those Factions.

Therefore, there’s no need to worry about Huangquan leaking Secrets; her personality wouldn’t allow it.

Besides, Huangquan now has a very good relationship with their Tianji General; they hang out together every day; what’s there to be afraid of?

If Huangquan weren’t of the Void Destiny, Hua would have given Huangquan an honorary General’s position.

As the two strolled along, Huangquan’s arms were filled with all sorts of Snacks. Huangquan didn’t know which one to eat first.
