Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 339 The next step, the demon pill!
Up to this point, half a year has passed since Xia He left the "Thirty-Six Heavens". Due to the different paths and the different places she is in, the time she has spent is also different from that of Xiao Zizai and Chen Duo.

But no matter what, she has now conquered the entire Asia except China, and incorporated all other Asian countries into the territory of "Qingqiu". In this way, her first step is also completed. Next...

"It is to transform 'Qingqiu' into a real 'Demon Kingdom'!"

That’s right, this is Xia He’s real vision for “Qingqiu”. “Qingqiu People” is just the beginning. She hopes to create a real “Demon Country” and has been preparing for it before.

With what Xia Ye gave her and the medical knowledge she had learned over the years, she had already reached the level where she could refine "demon pills" that could transform people into demons and make them more powerful.

This will also be the difference between "Qingqiu" and other countries in the future!
Of course, whether or not to take the elixir to become a demon is entirely voluntary. Xia He will not force anyone, nor will he make any distinction in all matters. He will only provide a "method of cultivation."

She also believed that after coming into contact with the mystery of the "aliens", most people in the world would want to become stronger. Even if some people would worry that there was something fishy in the pill, there would inevitably be many people who would not be able to resist the temptation of the pill and would choose to take it.

This is what she wanted. After all, as long as someone takes the lead and there is an example, the suspicion of others will gradually decrease, and most people don't want to lag behind others, so they will naturally make the wisest choice.

That's enough!
After thinking for a moment, Xia He gently put down the teacup in her hand. The bottom of the cup made a slight crisp sound when it touched the table, which was particularly clear in the silent office.

She slowly stood up, walked to the window, opened it, and let the night breeze with a faint floral scent blow on her face. The night view of New Delhi was in full view. The lights were bright, like a sea of ​​stars, symbolizing the vigorous vitality of this emerging country.

"it's time."

Xia He muttered to herself, with an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes. She turned back to the desk, turned on the computer, and began typing on the keyboard, sketching out a draft for the promotion plan of the Demon-Transforming Pill.

About an hour later...

"Someone is coming."

She called softly, and outside the office, a young fox demon dressed in Qingqiu maid's clothes came in and knelt in front of Xia He, saying respectfully:

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Go, invite Foxfire, Red Eyebrows and several other high-ranking officials, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with you."

The maid responded respectfully:

"As ordered."

So he quickly retreated.

In a short while, Fox Fire, Chimei and several other Qingqiu senior officials came to Xia He's office. They saluted Xia He one by one, then sat down at the table, waiting for Xia He's instructions.

Xia He glanced at everyone and said calmly:
"I called you all here to discuss the promotion plan for the Demon Transformation Pill."

After that, she turned on the projector and prepared a computer for everyone.

"This is the preliminary plan I drew up. Please take a look and feel free to give any comments."

Several senior executives narrowed their eyes and read carefully. The office fell silent for a moment, leaving only the sound of mouse clicking and occasional whispers from the crowd.

After reading it, Foxfire was the first to speak:

"Your Majesty, the effect of this demon-transforming pill is so miraculous. If it is promoted, the strength of our Qingqiu will surely reach a new level!"

There was a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

Chimei was more cautious. He stroked his beard and said slowly:
"Your Majesty, although this demon-transforming pill is very effective, I am worried that the people will have doubts about it. After all, it involves the change of bloodline, which is no trivial matter."

Several other senior executives also expressed their opinions, some supporting full promotion, while others suggested a small-scale trial first.

Xia He listened to everyone's speeches quietly. She did not interrupt anyone, nor did she reveal her position. After everyone finished speaking, she slowly spoke with a firm tone:

"I understand your concerns. After careful consideration, I have decided that the promotion of the Demon-Transforming Pill will be based on the principle of voluntariness and will be open to all Qingqiu citizens."

She paused, glanced at everyone, and said in a heavier tone:

"Fox Fire, the construction of the alchemy room and the training of the alchemists will be left to you. You must ensure the quality and output of the demon-transforming pills."

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

Foxfire immediately stood up and knelt on one knee, his eyes full of excitement and fighting spirit. He couldn't wait to start this important task.

Xia He turned to Chimei again.

"Chimei, you are responsible for drafting a notice to announce the existence and promotion plan of the Demon Transformation Pill to all Qingqiu citizens, and pass it to the media department to arrange publicity."

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

Chimei also stood up and accepted the order. Although he still had some worries in his heart, he knew that this was the queen's decision and he had to carry it out resolutely.

After everything was arranged, Xia He waved her hand, signaling everyone to leave.

The senior executives stood up one after another, saluted to Xia He, and filed out.

The office returned to silence again. Xia He walked to the window and looked at the gradually brightening sky outside, her eyes full of anticipation.

After the announcement was released, the people of Qingqiu were talking about it.

"Is this demon-transforming pill really that magical? Can it make us stronger?"

Some young people asked excitedly, their eyes full of longing as they imagined how powerful they would become after turning into monsters.

"Who knows? What if it's a lie?"

Some older people expressed doubts, and he shook his head, his tone full of worry.

"I'd better wait and see what happens to other people after they take it."

Similar conversations are constantly taking place in various places in Qingqiu. Some people are full of expectations and eager to try it out, while others are skeptical and take a wait-and-see attitude.

Xia He had anticipated this and was not in a hurry, so he arranged for Fox Fire to select a group of volunteers, have them take the demon-transforming pill, and record their changes to dispel people's doubts.

After receiving the order, Fox Fire immediately began to make preparations. He was fully aware of the importance of the matter and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

moment……

Fox Fire stood by the window, looking at the bustling New Delhi outside the window, thinking secretly in his heart. He tapped the windowsill lightly with his fingers, making a crisp rhythm, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, Foxfire called his assistant, a young fox demon named White Fang. White Fang was thin, with a handsome face and a clever look in his eyes.

"White Fang, go find a group of reliable men. Select them from the ordinary army. Keep the number of men to about 100. Remember, they must be loyal and reliable."

Foxfire ordered, his tone serious.

White Fang replied respectfully:
"Yes, my lord."

After saying that, he turned and left, his steps brisk and steady.

Foxfire looked at White Fang's departing back and nodded slightly.

Bai Ya was extremely efficient. In less than a day, he selected a hundred loyal soldiers from the army. These soldiers were all elite warriors who had experienced many battles. They were loyal to Qingqiu today and also eager to gain more powerful strength.

They were taken to a secret underground base. The base was brightly lit and various advanced instruments and equipment were neatly arranged. The soldiers looked at everything around them curiously, their eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

Foxfire stood in the center of the base, looking at the strong soldiers in front of him, and said solemnly:
"Everyone, you are all the elites of Qingqiu. Today, you will have the opportunity to become even more powerful."

He paused and continued:
"I have a magical pill in my hand, called the Demon-Transforming Pill, which can change your bloodline and give you greater strength, speed, and perception."

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately started talking, their eyes filled with curiosity and desire.

"Really? Is this pill really that magical?" asked a young soldier with excitement in his eyes.

"of course."

Foxfire answered affirmatively.

"However, taking the Demon Transformation Pill also has certain risks. It will change your form and make you have some characteristics of the demon race."

"I'm not afraid!"

another soldier shouted.

"As long as I can become stronger, I don't care what I become!"

Other soldiers also expressed their willingness to try. They were eager for strength, eager to become stronger warriors, and eager to achieve success.

Foxfire nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Very good, since you are all willing, let's get started."

He signaled to his assistant to distribute the demon-transforming pills to the soldiers. The soldiers took the pills and swallowed them without hesitation.

After taking the demon-transforming pill, the soldiers' bodies began to change. Their skin gradually became rough, their hair began to grow, and some soldiers even grew animal-like ears and noses on their faces.

They felt a powerful force surging in their bodies, their strength, speed and perception were greatly enhanced, and they waved their fists excitedly, feeling more powerful than ever before.

The instruments in the base also recorded the entire process of the soldiers' changes. These data will become important research materials and provide a basis for the further improvement of the Demon-Transforming Pill.

Foxfire looked at the changes in the soldiers and felt secretly delighted. He knew that this move was a success.

The changes in these soldiers were made into video footage and released publicly. Xia He held a press conference specifically for this purpose and delivered a speech at the conference.

"Dear people of Qingqiu, did you see this? This is the power of the demon-transforming pill!"

Xia He stood on the podium, pointing at the video footage playing on the screen and spoke in an excited tone.

"It can make you stronger, and Qingqiu stronger!"

"From today on, the Demon Transformation Pill will be available to all Qingqiu citizens. As long as you are willing, you can take the Demon Transformation Pill and become a more powerful being!"

Xia He's speech spread to every corner of Qingqiu through television and the Internet, causing a huge sensation. Some people were encouraged and signed up to take the demon-transforming pills. They were eager for power and to change their own destiny.

There is no doubt that Xia He's speech caused an uproar, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

In Qingqiu, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the screens on the soldiers whose strength increased dramatically after taking the elixir. There was shock, desire, fear and suspicion.

In teahouses, taverns, streets and alleys, the demon-transforming elixir became a hot topic among people.

Some people waved their arms excitedly, imagining how powerful they would become after becoming a demon, while others were worried that becoming a demon would bring about unpredictable consequences.

In the alchemy room, flames were blazing and the air was filled with the aroma of medicine.

Fox Fire was wearing Qingqiu's special alchemist robe and standing in front of the huge alchemy furnace, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

He changed the magic gestures in his hands, controlled the fire, and meticulously refined the demon-transforming pill.

Ever since Xia He gave the order to expand the scale of the alchemy room, he has been working day and night, not daring to slack off in the slightest. He knows that the Demon Transformation Pill is related to the future of Qingqiu and cannot afford any mistakes.

"Master Foxfire, the newly recruited alchemist has arrived."

White Fang walked into the alchemy room, interrupting Foxfire's thoughts.

Fox Fire nodded slightly, signaling Bai Ya to bring the people in. More than a dozen alchemy masters came in one after another. They had different expressions, some were nervous, some were excited, and some were curious.

Foxfire looked at them and said in a steady tone:

"From today on, you are Qingqiu's alchemists. Your mission is to refine the demon-transforming pill. This is related to the future of Qingqiu. I hope you can do your best and not slack off in the slightest."

The alchemists nodded one after another, indicating that they understood the importance of the matter and promised to do their best to complete the task. Fox Fire nodded with satisfaction and began to guide them in refining the demon-transforming pill.

Chimei was busy dealing with various affairs. He needed to coordinate the work of various departments to ensure the smooth promotion of the Demon-Transforming Pill.

He sat at his desk, flipping through piles of documents with a frown on his face, and occasionally making notes on the documents with a pen.

"Lord Chimei, this is the latest list of applicants. Please take a look."

A staff member handed a document to the Chimei.

Chimei took the document and quickly browsed through it. The number of applicants far exceeded his expectations, which made him happy and worried. He was happy that the promotion of the Demon-Transforming Pill was going very smoothly, but he was worried whether the output of the pill room could meet such a huge demand.

"I see, you go down."

Chimei waved his hand and signaled the staff to leave.

He rubbed his aching temples and secretly thought about how to increase the output of the alchemy room.

……

……

The next day, in the office.

Xia He's fingertips tapped the table, making a crisp sound, breaking the silence in the office.

"Chimei, how many applicants have you received?"

Her tone was calm, but with a hint of barely perceptible concern.

Chimei immediately stepped forward, presented a document with both hands, and replied respectfully:

"Your Majesty, as of today, the number of people who have applied to take the Demon Transformation Pill has exceeded three million, and is still increasing."

He hunched his body slightly, with a look of unconcealable joy and some worry in his eyes.

Xia He took the document, glanced through it quickly, frowned slightly, and tapped the table with her slender fingers, making a rhythmic "dong dong" sound. The office was so quiet that only this slight sound and the occasional bird calls outside the window could be heard.

"three million……"

Xia He whispered to himself, put down the document, pondered for a moment, and said slowly:
"It seems that we have to speed up the construction of the alchemy room. At the same time, we must also increase the recruitment and training of alchemists."

She said, turning her gaze towards the fox.

"Foxfire, I'll leave this matter to you."

Foxfire immediately stood up, clasped his fists and accepted the order:
"As you command, Your Majesty! I will do my best to complete the mission!"

His tone was firm, and his eyes sparkled with confidence. He knew that this was the Queen's trust in him, and also a difficult challenge.

Xia He nodded and turned his gaze to Chimei:

"Chimei, immediately send people to various places to collect medicinal materials and ensure that they are sufficient for the refining of the demon-transforming pill."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chimei responded respectfully and then turned and left.
