The bodies of the Ansa elites are actually very flexible, especially when it comes to calculating gains and losses, which they are good at. Especially when it comes to the immediate interests that can be seen at a glance, they know how to bend their knees.

Lucas had originally just accompanied Emily on the visit, but during a conversation with Doug, the butler, he learned that Underwood Manor also had plans to expand its planting business. They actually had a lot of land, but they didn't need to rely on planting or ranching for a living before.

But now the situation is difficult and they also want to make up for their shortcomings.

Carolina and Emily whispered to each other, while Lucas followed Butler Doug to tour Underwood Manor.

Emily could see that Carolina felt guilty, but she couldn't understand why.

On Lucas's side, during the tour, butler Doug tactfully explained the whole story, letting Lucas know about the secret meeting that the three families had held and Carolina's attitude at the time.

"Mr. Yang doesn't seem surprised?"

Doug, the butler, was somewhat surprised at Lucas' calmness or composure.

"Why should you be surprised? Isn't this...well, the behavior that the Flower Kingdom has always shown to the world? There is nothing new under the sun..."

Lucas sneered, leaving Doug at a loss for words. However, Doug was secretly wary of the other party's attitude, especially when he saw the exposed wrist.

After the wrist guard.

He looks friendly and warm, but in fact he doesn't give his opponents any chance to take advantage of him. He is a scary man...

"I thought you would be at least a little angry."

"Maybe I've seen too much and have become numb. Or maybe one day, the Flower Country or you self-proclaimed elites will do something really good, and then I'll be surprised... Actually, Carolina's expression this time surprised me a little, but in your opinion, she is just young and brainless, right?"

"......" Doug was silent. He did think so at the time, but Carolina was the person he served, so he couldn't express it that way.

"But don't worry, you may not understand it now or in the future, but I will still install [Steel Thorns] and rattan sheds in your manor, as well as the other families and all the residents here."

“……”, Butler Doug was silent for a moment, “Thank you very much.”

He was thinking about the attitude expressed by Lucas, and repeatedly savoring words like "you guys", "you flower country", "you elites", etc. However, even if he racked his brains, he would not think that Lucas was actually a time traveler from a parallel universe. At most, he would think that he came from a mysterious country across the sea.

After leaving Underwood Manor, Lucas and Emily went to Ryan and Campbell Farms next.

Maggie and Naomi didn't know about the secret meeting among the three families. When they saw Emily, they had no psychological burden and their attitude was normal.

The adults of the two families were extremely thick-skinned, as if the secret meeting among the three families had never taken place. They went straight to the point in a few words. However, at least they knew how to be flexible and their faces were indeed thick. They knew how to bend down and kneel, and respectfully requested Lucas to build [Steel Thorns] and rattan greenhouses on their farms so that they could resume agricultural production.

Ten years ago, Lucas's personality was not as calm as it is now. He was quite impulsive back then and might have thought about how to kill their entire family...well, at least two couples. Now we cannot say that his theoretical posture is much higher than these high-level Angsars, but he still deserves to be said to be knowledgeable and experienced.

Anyway, to paraphrase the transport captain, he now holds the greatest truth of Guanying Mountain. With the advantage in hand, he doesn't need to care about the ideas and ambitions of the ants. They all have to follow the trend anyway, whether they are willing or not, and no matter what the supervisor's intentions are, they have to act according to his ideas.

Therefore, I did not specifically mention their secret meeting, but simply listened to their ideas and promised to install the [Steel Thorns] and "Rattan Greenhouses" in their farms as soon as possible.

After leaving the Campbell family, Lucas drove Emily and did not continue to visit other wealthy families here, but went directly back to the Low Hill Villa.

There are three families who act as messengers on his behalf. Other wealthy families only need to send him the detailed land planning, and he will start construction according to the plan. There is no need to visit each family one by one to discuss the matter.

0057

For more than ten days in a row, after finishing his morning exercises, Lucas would come to the Low Mountain Villa through the [Teleportation Array] and stay there.

In addition to replanning the direction of the [Iron Thorns] in the middle and lower class communities and covering the land that was expected to be used as arable land, Green Valley Street also sent their land planning design to him through Merry.

To carry out the growth plan of [Iron Thorns], Lucas needs to operate at the [Tree of Life].

However, after he sneezed several times in succession one day and found that he had caught a cold, he felt that this approach was a bit stupid, so he stopped working for a few days and stayed at the "tiankeng base" for two days to develop new functions and recuperate.

Afterwards, I returned to the Low Mountain Villa and added a desktop computer to the study room here. Through my magical "thinking" ability, I somehow managed to use WIFI signals to connect the computer to the interface of the [Tree of Life] and move the workplace into the house.

The pre-laying work of [Steel Thorns] can be completed in the study, and then while commuting between the two places like going to work, continue to improve the management interface of the [Tree of Life]. The operations of the [Tree of Life] and all units can be performed through the computer in the study, forming an operating interface like in a game, and also realizing a small map function, connecting the vision of all buildings and units through the magic network, forming an early warning system that can monitor the entire surface area of ​​​​Crown Eagle Mountain in real time without the use of technological cameras.

Even after spending a sum of "magic energy", the "hostility radar" and "rough level assessment" functions were developed. The "magic energy" consumed was collected by the "Dark Night Building System" on the Crown Eagle Mountain. Because it was not quantified, Lucas did not know the exact amount.

"Detecting hostility" is a magical reconnaissance method in his mind, but all magical methods have fluctuations. Some are like active radar waves, which can be sensed by people with relevant abilities or extraordinary creatures, and can be passively detected by various alchemical instruments or magical devices.

Therefore, in order to cover up the magical fluctuations of "detecting hostility", he also developed corresponding magic techniques or magic buildings such as "intelligence camouflage", "information shielding", "magic fluctuation camouflage", and "perception disruption" according to the "extraordinary knowledge" in his mind.

All these things do not require the use of a "map editor". With the construction tool "Elf", and a detailed explanation of the magic array and the structure diagram of the magic building down to a rune symbol in his mind, he only needs to use the "Elf" to restore what is in his mind.

As each magic spell was actually constructed, Lucas fully verified the authenticity of the "supernatural knowledge" in his mind and accumulated a lot of actual construction and usage experience.

Among them, the "Dark Night Building System" belongs to the natural magic system and the products of natural magic. Most of the systems used in a complete set of detection and camouflage magic belong to the category of arcane magic. Although there are ways to make compromises, in most cases, buildings and products that rely on the natural magic system cannot run the content of the arcane magic system.

So during this period, Lucas used the [elves] to build many arcane magic buildings on his own, such as the wizard tower located at the center of Crown Eagle Mountain.

This wizard tower not only consumed a lot of high-level resources he brought from the "Sinkhole Base", but also consumed a lot of technological communication equipment purchased through the "mobile phone".

In the world of magic, "nature" and "arcane" are two independent systems that cannot be integrated. Not only can they not be integrated, but they are even opposed to each other. This is true for their natural attributes, and also for the academic disciplines and concepts derived from them. Therefore, in almost any magical world, there are often wars between the two schools or religions.

But Lucas came from the ordinary world, and both the values ​​of "nature" and the values ​​of "arcane" are in the service of his main values ​​based on his unique view of the ordinary world.

He "thought" and found the commonalities between "nature" and "technology", and also found the commonalities between "arcane" and "technology", and then used "technology" as a bridge and link to utilize "nature" and "arcane" in a harmonious and unified manner.

Although the current application areas are limited to "detection", "camouflage" and "communication", it is foreseeable that in the near future, his insights can be applied to broader fields - as long as he focuses his main energy on development.

……

It is now May.

The calendar from the real world actually has no practical significance, because it has been confirmed that there will be no seasonal and climatic changes in Crown Eagle Mountain except for the eternal "ice and snow theme".

The temperature is still minus 20°C, the weather is basically windless, and there are two heavy snowfalls every week, one lasting nearly 24 hours, and there is no change in the time, one falling on Tuesday and the other on Saturday.

But the residents of Crown Eagle Mountain no longer have anything to worry about.

Because the entire community has been completely covered by a combination of [Steel Thorns] and rattan greenhouses, inside the greenhouse, in addition to solving the problem of heating, all agricultural production has also been restored.

Not only are several major crops growing well now, with the first batch of agricultural products expected to be harvested in another two months, the agricultural and sideline products grown and raised by the residents themselves have also entered the food supply system of the entire community.

For example, residents have used the open space in front of and behind their houses and, with the help of mutual aid associations organized in the community, have begun to produce fresh onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, cucumbers and other side dishes. Some chicken and duck farmers can also provide small amounts of eggs and meat.

The wealthy families on Green Valley Street set up a community meat processing plant and began to slaughter cattle and sheep on demand in a planned manner to supply meat to the entire community.

The old monetary system collapsed, and after Lucas ensured the overall living environment, the community now formed a relatively primitive barter trading system.

Most residents practice public ownership and eat from the same pot. They take over unclaimed industries and implement unified management, such as the Guanyingshan Hospital. A small number of residents who own means of production practice a market economy, that is, the people on Green Valley Street. Lucas and Merry industrialized the living space formed by the [Steel Thorns] and vine greenhouses, as well as the light and heat provided by the [Tree Trunk Street Lamps], and used them as equivalents to exchange for the food produced by Green Valley Street.

In addition, the currency system of [gold coins] was reformed. A gold coin weighing 3 taels was obviously not conducive to the daily use of residents. After inexplicably consuming 1 unit of [Hero's Soul], an NPC named "Sang Hongyang" was summoned. Under the [gold coins], the currency units of [silver coins] and [copper coins] appeared.

But Lucas searched the "Tiankeng Base" and the Guanyingshan community, but couldn't find where the NPC was summoned. He only found a log record in the "Map Editor": [Currency Reform].

On second thought: This means increasing one economic skill point at the cost of 1 point of [Hero's Soul]?

Then the idea became clear.

[Gold Coin] The monetary system is not universal in the entire community. For the middle and lower classes, it is still under discussion as to whether the current conscription and compulsory labor should be replaced by currency instead of the original obligations and work points.

Green Valley Street, on the other hand, has adopted a monetary system as a supplementary means of payment for the supplies they provide.

Lucas stuffed some things into the [Miracle Ancient Tree] at the entrance of the county bureau, such as the modified "photovoltaic panels" that can generate electricity by absorbing magical elements in the air, and are sold at 500 gold coins each.

His purchase price is... 40 gold coins, and if you purchase more than 100 at a time, you can get wholesale price. The so-called "magic modification" only consumes some [magic energy]. Don't say he is black-hearted or a profiteer. The most important thing about this move is to empower the [gold coin] monetary system and make the entire payment system valuable.

And we only need to look at the real world to know that agricultural producers are faced with industrial products.

, there is no bargaining power or pricing power, the only option is whether to accept it.

The actual reaction was indeed like that, including in the middle and lower class communities. No one had any objection to the pricing. Through this price, the middle and lower class communities knew how precious the same "photovoltaic panel" installed in the county bureau was. The wealthy households on Green Valley Street were all calculating that they would have to save up for several months of shipments before they could buy such a panel.

No one came to Lucas to say, "Huh? Are you selling this thing too shady?"

Of course, in addition to the "photovoltaic panels", Lucas also placed many other products in the [Miracle Ancient Tree], such as high-end tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, or condiments, nutritional supplements and snacks such as hot pot seasonings, spicy strips, and grilled fish fillets.

The value of these small commodities is not so exaggerated, because their original purchase price is very low, but it is also multiplied by 10 before being included.

Currently, the main consumers are the big dog owners in Green Valley Street. There are also some in the middle and lower class communities, but they are given as prizes to outstanding workers, or as regular welfare, and are supplied to all residents according to plans.

Therefore, no one is particularly dissatisfied with the current distribution system. When Meri solicited opinions from the community on currency replacement, everyone had their own opinions, and it was not a one-sided situation.

Some people think that the current big-pot system is good, at least it is very fair;

Some people also think that the private ownership in the past was also very good, as they could choose goods freely.

……

Lucas originally just wanted to lay [Iron Thorns] throughout the entire community to complete the transformation of the living space.

Unexpectedly, in this process, in order to save trouble, he first developed the management and operation interface of the "Tree of Life", and in order to solve the problem of remote command of the "Dark Night Unit", he improved the detection and early warning system of Guanying Mountain, and finally, in order to balance the supply relationship within the community, he also advanced his envisioned community economic plan by several years.

When all the work came to an end in mid-May, he came to his senses and found that he had been working from nine to five for more than two months.

"Oh, shit, it's already been over two months."

"I originally wanted to develop a 'mission system' to match the three of them."

"Although these are tasks that need to be completed in the future, I actually left the three of them alone for more than two months because of this..."

But if you think about it carefully, Merry usually puts almost all his energy into the community, learning how to be a competent manager. He probably doesn't have much time to go out on "missions". The two girls, Luo Ruier and Zhuo Yisi, stay over at the "tiankeng base" and have no idea how happy they are.

It seems that it’s okay to leave it alone for two months…

However, judging from the clues in the previous description, this task system may be the key to breaking out of the "Crown Eagle Mountain Small Space" that is currently trapped. It can be used to explore the surrounding environment, and it is something that must be pointed out.

But before that, Lucas decided to take a break and give himself some time off.

……

In the afternoon, the magical simulated sunlight above the cenote is at its strongest during the day.

Several women in the base, including Hope, who was addicted to fitness, smeared sunscreen all over their bodies and lay on their backs by the pool to sunbathe.

And they are all naked. They have evolved to the point where they can be like this with or without Lucas. But Hope needs to be careful, because if she walks around in front of him without clothes, Lucas will hang her up and spank her.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared above the tiankeng and quickly lowered its altitude. Along with the sound of huge airflow, a high-level two-legged flying dragon with a green and red body swooped down. It flapped its wings twice dozens of meters below. After buffering its speed, it let out a low roar and lightly dived into a building nearby.

"Huh? A wyvern?"

"Why would they come here if they are fine?"

"Was it summoned by the Boss?"

"Amy, did Lucas say that?"

"I don't know. He never mentioned it. But he said yesterday that he wanted to take a day off. Maybe he was planning to do something?"

"How about we go up and have a look?"

A group of women, both young and old, got up while talking, put on their already pitifully few clothes, walked together to the bottom of the hall, and took the elevator upstairs.

Currently, nude sunbathing is only limited to the bathing pool. In other places in the base, you have to wear clothes, even bikinis.

The elevator door opened with a "ding" sound. When they came out, they saw Lucas in a transparent plastic raincoat inserting a large syringe that looked a bit thick into the neck of the wyvern in the distance.

"Ah, wait, don't go over there at this time."

Seeing this, Emily quickly stopped everyone. She knew what Lucas was doing.

Looking down at the ground, she saw the temporary pool and water pipes. On the table next to them were some herbs that she had seen at that time and remembered.

Hope was a little curious. He stared at the wyvern, suppressed his instinct, and trembled his wings slightly twice, allowing Lucas to insert the needle into his neck.

"What is Lucas doing? Treating a wyvern?"

"No, he is bleeding it, but its blood is poisonous and highly corrosive. We'd better not get close to it, so as not to accidentally get it on our bodies."

Claire looked at her daughter, a little surprised, "Have you seen it?"

"yes"

"What is the boss doing by bleeding the wyvern?"

"Hmm..." Emily thought about it and felt that the people present were all her own people, so there was no need to hide it. Moreover, Lucas probably thought the same thing as she bled the wyvern in front of them. "The blood of the wyvern, after being prepared, is a bath potion with magical effects, which is somewhat similar to the dragon blood in the legend of Siegfried."

"As long as the part bathed in dragon blood is extremely powerful and invulnerable to swords and guns?"

The legend of Siegfried is a household name in Europe and America. Hope reacted immediately and showed an excited look.

However, Claire, Laurel, and Zoeys curled their lips after hearing this, and then looked at Hope's current body shape with expressions of disgust.

The immense strength could easily be linked to Hope's current size.

"No, dear, as I said, only the blood of a real dragon has this effect. However, ordinary people cannot bear the blood of a real dragon. The wyvern is a sub-dragon, so the effect of its blood is not that strong. However, it also needs to be prepared so that ordinary people like us can bear it."

"Ah, then what is the use of this wyvern's blood?" Hope was a little disappointed.

"After the adjustment and preparation of special magic herbs, our attributes can be slightly improved (meow). If we have some extraordinary talents, it will be easier to stimulate them after bathing. It can also reduce the difficulty of breaking through the extraordinary critical point. But the most important thing I think is beauty."
