Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

"But isn't this efficiency a bit disproportionate to their level?"

It's unclear whether it's because the original forms of these vengeful spirits were inherently strange, or because the number of Japanese people they fused with was too small and their intelligence was still incomplete, but the efficiency of these level 3 vengeful spirits in absorbing energy was only one-tenth that of a normal level 3 professional.

Even if a regular level 3 profession takes away from eating and taking care of their three urgent needs, they can still gather thousands of strands of Qi in a day, but these wronged souls can only gather a hundred strands.

Moreover, the efficiency of gathering the five elements is extremely low. Only the efficiency of gathering the Netherworld Qi and the Evil Qi can reach a hundred strands. Although the Netherworld Qi can be used to create Yin Earth, Lin Feng currently has no plans to build the Netherworld Palace. The Evil Qi, on the other hand, is a good thing that can enhance the strength of the ghost soldiers.

However, these half-defective wronged souls cannot be used to forge ghost soldiers, nor can they be directly extracted from living souls. Although Lin Feng considers himself to be lacking in morality, if he had obtained the Soul Banner before inheriting the Qi Gathering Method, he might have actually invited everyone in Xuanfeng City to enjoy themselves inside the Human Emperor Banner.

Right now, it's more valuable to be alive.

Those level 3 Jade-Faced Ghosts can collect 1000 strands of moonlight essence a day, and can make a wisp of moonlight in 10 days. These in the Soul Banner are too useless.

"It seems that intelligence isn't the only fatal flaw." Lin Feng withdrew his consciousness from the soul banner, his fingers unconsciously tapping his knee as he began to ponder.

These vengeful spirits are essentially a chaotic mess, a product born from the fusion of a man-eating monster into the bodies of Japanese people. Moreover, they are predominantly yin in nature, making them unsuitable for gathering the five elements. Netherworld energy, malevolent energy, and moonlight are more suitable. The question is, how can we improve the efficiency of their gathering?

There's a severe shortage of spiritual materials right now. The repair of the Ziwei Star Palace requires a massive amount of spiritual materials. Ever since Guo Yi used spiritual materials to develop the flying car, Mi Xue and Xiao Qing have also come to Lin Feng to ask for a quota of spiritual materials, saying they want to develop weapons. The two of them want to use that rare artifact from the armory to work with Luo Xiaoxiao and Guo Yi to develop the blueprints for black iron-grade guns and cannons.

This has led to an even greater shortage of spiritual materials. Xuanfeng City is now severely short of people. Even the personal maids, the catgirls and rabbitgirls, have been called by Lin Feng to practice the Qi Gathering Technique, and the results have been quite good.

"Sigh, there are still too few people. If only a hundred million people would come and let me practice the Qi Gathering Technique so I could harvest a bunch of韭菜 (a metaphor for easily exploited people)."

Now we can only see if we can improve efficiency. If we can enhance the intelligence of these ten thousand strange and vengeful spirits, that would be great.

Suddenly, Lin Feng had a flash of inspiration.

"Got it."

Isn't there a ready-made method? It's simple and brutal: just stuff those vengeful spirits and monsters into the bodies of the Japanese and make them into ghost masters. Isn't that exactly what the Japanese have been dreaming of?

Lin Feng put away the soul banner and strode out of the palace. Xuanfeng City was still brightly lit at night. Combat professions climbed the city walls to hunt insects, while life professions were busy processing the materials they had harvested that night. A pungent smell permeated the air.

Lin Feng went directly to Zhao Gao, who was checking the materials list. Upon seeing Lin Feng, Zhao Gao immediately bowed.

"Your Majesty, why are you still up so late? If you have any orders, you can just have Miss Xiaorui send someone to tell you. Why bother coming all the way here yourself?"

Lin Feng waved his hand and, without beating around the bush, stated his request directly.

"Old Zhao, check the jade slips of the Japanese in the city. Pick out the 10,000 people with the lowest Qi gathering efficiency. I want to bestow power upon them and make them Ghost Masters. This is an honor."

Zhao Gao's eyelids twitched. A demon tamer? He had personally killed quite a few demon tamers who stuffed monsters into their bodies. What did those demon tamers look like in the end? They either grew many heads or had limbs and countless tentacles, becoming grotesque creatures.

To put it nicely, it's gaining extraordinary power; to put it bluntly, it's turning into a monster that's neither human nor demonic. Is that considered "honor"? Only the Great King could say that so confidently.

Normal people would avoid this at all costs, but then I thought about how the Japanese are a different breed from normal people, and I felt relieved. Maybe they like this kind of thing. Perhaps they will even be overjoyed to thank the king for bestowing power upon them. For them, this is indeed the highest honor.

Zhao Gao showed no sign of surprise, but bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it right away and make sure all the necessary personnel are prepared for you."

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly remembered something else.

"Oh, right, leave the female Japanese women alive for now, don't touch them..."

Zhao Gao was taken aback: "Your Majesty means..."

"Find a way to get them to have offspring as soon as possible."

Lin Feng said matter-of-factly, without feeling that he was wrong at all: "Xuanfeng City is short of people right now, seriously short of people, short of people who can cultivate the Qi Gathering Method. It is unrealistic to let it grow naturally. We can't just keep those Japanese slaves around for nothing. We should follow the rules of their ancestors. However, the details need to be adjusted so that they can have offspring as soon as possible."

A knowing glint flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes: "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand. We will follow the rules of their ancestors and set up a special camp at the border between the outer and inner cities, close to the living area, so that the warriors of Xuanfeng City can take care of them. We will also arrange some people who know medicine to watch over them. They can leave as soon as they get pregnant."

"I will set up some incentive measures, such as better living conditions and material and monetary rewards, and set an ultimate reward: as long as you give birth to 10 children, you can become a Ghost Master."

Lin Feng laughed and nodded: "I trust you to handle things. You can decide on the specific arrangements, but there's only one rule: don't let anyone die. They only have value if they're alive. The children need to be raised to absorb Qi. This is a long-term matter, so keep a close eye on it."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Gao praised, "In this way, the population will be inexhaustible, serving Xuanfeng City generation after generation. After a thousand years, Xuanfeng City will surely become great."

When Lin Feng heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but smile. A thousand years was too far away; he only cared about the present.

The immediate priority is to find a way to get 10,000 Ghost Masters out so they can quickly gather energy to replenish the urgently needed spiritual materials and build the Star Gazing Tower. Only in this way can we remain invincible within the Bronze level.

They wouldn't be so scared by a few psionic missiles that they would run around in panic.

Once they've established a foothold, Michelle and her team will use the arsenal to manufacture a batch of weapons, and then they'll definitely fight back.

Xuanfeng City is short of people, and the positions of slaves are waiting for them to take up their posts.

Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling Zhao Gao to go and pick out the people first.

If you don't work hard in your cultivation, then become a Demon Master and contribute to Xuanfeng City.

In the early hours of the morning, Lin Feng walked into an open area outside the city and saw a dense crowd of people in the distance. A group of Japanese soldiers bowed and scraped to the evil-suppressing servants and then began to maintain order with sticks and whips.

Anyone caught not standing up straight or standing in a crooked line would be beaten with sticks and whips, their fierce appearance like that of a demon.
