After reading Ji Yizhi’s response, all the fleets around Dragon Base decided to go check out the market.
They didn’t really have anything to sell, but Dragon Base was sure to have some good items. At the very least, there would be some meat for sale!
The vast majority of the fleets hadn’t eaten any land animals in several months!
Knowing this, Ji Yizhi had already arranged for the logistics department to slaughter a large number of livestock to ensure a steady supply of meat.
Tu Chong, who had migrated from Taoyuan Base, joined the butchering team directly.
He was far more efficient than the other butchers. They were still ordinary people, while Tu Chong had already taken an Evolution Potion.
"Brother Tu, we’re so jealous! You got to use an Evolution Potion so early!" the other butchers said, incredibly envious.
Tu Chong waved his hand. "Can’t you buy Evolution Potions here at Dragon Base? As long as everyone works hard, you’ll be able to get one sooner or later!"
The others nodded.
"Yeah, they’re a bit expensive, but not completely out of reach!"
"Expensive? You don’t know how good you have it! The price for outsiders is ten times what we pay!"
"Exactly. If you weren’t a member of Dragon Base, you could slaughter pigs your whole life and might not be able to afford a single Evolution Potion!"
"Hehe, I was just talking. Don’t take me so seriously!"
Tu Chong smiled and shook his head. "Alright everyone, let’s pick up the pace. With this many animals, we’ll probably be at this until midnight!"
Meanwhile, Ren Yuanyang had returned to his room and begun his Cultivation.
Although he was a little tired, cultivating at a time like this was especially effective.
The Evolvers who participated in the battle today had seized the opportunity to cultivate immediately after the fight, and they were already seeing significant results.
Most of them had increased their Mental Energy range by more than three meters!
"Pushing your Mental Energy to its absolute limit in battle is still the most effective way to increase it!" Qin Haonan remarked.
Lu Jiamei nodded in agreement.
Xin Wan, standing to the side, sounded regretful. "It’s a shame I’m a Fire-Type. I couldn’t join the fight!"
"Maybe we could hold one-on-one sparring matches? We could test our control over our Superpowers and hone our Mental Energy at the same time!" Lu Jiamei suggested after a moment of thought.
"Great idea! It would be best to find someone of a type that counters your own. Fighting under that kind of elemental suppression would be even better for training!" Qin Haonan immediately chimed in.
Xin Wan frowned slightly. "But wouldn’t that be too dangerous? We’re all at similar strength levels. We might not be able to hold back properly!"
"That’s a valid point," Lu Jiamei agreed with a nod. "We’re just trying to increase our Mental Energy. It wouldn’t be worth it if there were casualties."
Qin Haonan’s eyes shifted, and he smiled. "Actually, that problem is easy to solve!"
Lu Jiamei and Xin Wan looked at him, confused.
Qin Haonan continued, "We just need a referee with powerful Mental Energy watching from the side!"
Lu Jiamei was taken aback. "You mean, ask the Leader to watch over us?"
"But wouldn’t that waste the Leader’s time for Cultivation?" Xin Wan said, shaking her head.
Qin Haonan smiled and replied, "We won’t be sparring every day. It shouldn’t take too much of his time to act as our referee during a break from his own Cultivation. Besides, watching over us is a form of training for him, too. Protecting both sides during a fight is an even greater test of his control over his Mental Energy!"
Lu Jiamei blinked, then smiled as well. "Well, you’ve certainly got an answer for everything. How could the Leader possibly refuse now?"
"I’ll talk to the Leader about it tomorrow!" Qin Haonan said, getting up to leave. "I’m going to take a walk around the harbor."
Back at Peach Blossom Base, there were so few people that at night, he would basically just play on the computer for a while before going to bed. Dragon Base was much livelier than Peach Blossom Base.
The market, which was still under construction, was especially bustling now.
The roof of the market was completely finished, though some of the storefronts were still being built. A few of the open-air stalls had already been rented out, and their owners were busy organizing the goods they would sell the next day.
A bar had also opened in the market. Qin Haonan went inside, ordered a beer, and sat by the window watching the lively scene outside.
’It feels like being back in the time before the flood. If not for the red blood rain constantly dripping from the eaves, the feeling would be perfect.’
"Are you sure there’s nothing harmful to us in the blood rain?" Wang Jun asked, having come to the laboratory personally to confirm with Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun shook his head. "We’ve run detailed tests. The blood rain does contain some impurities, but they’re like metabolic waste products. They aren’t at a level that can harm us. In fact, most of the substances are beneficial to the human body!"
"Is it worried we’re malnourished, so it’s giving us extra nutrients?" Wang Jun asked with a frown.
"The main issue is that we can’t confirm the source of the blood rain," Zhao Jun said, frustrated. "We also have no idea what the situation is like beyond Blue Star’s atmosphere!"
Wang Jun nodded slightly. "I’ll push the astronomical research institute to launch satellites and get them operational again as soon as possible. On your end, monitor any changes in the blood content of the rain."
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Jun left the laboratory and headed for the astronomical research institute.
The astronomical research institute was working urgently to manufacture satellites. Wang Jun gave a few instructions and then departed.
「The next day.」
Ren Yuanyang finished his Cultivation, feeling refreshed and full of energy.
Subduing the Great White Shark had directly increased his Mental Energy’s control radius by 30 meters, bringing it to a total of 178 meters.
’I can finally strengthen the aircraft carrier!’ Ren Yuanyang thought, excited.
The largest aircraft carrier in the world was the Sea Eagle Country’s Tefu-class Aircraft Carrier, with a total length of 333 meters.
