Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

Lu Yuan nodded.

"The radioactive radiation inside this crystal can cause significant damage to the human body. Long-term exposure to radiation can cause the skin, bones, and even cells to 'petrify'..."

"Petrified!!"

Not only Sir Chen and Shi Huaiya were stunned, but all the police officers, including those from the laboratory department, were completely stunned.

Petrification! This word is too fantastical.

After all.

Human flesh is carbon-based, and stone is silicon-based. How could carbon-based be transformed into silicon-based due to radiation? But considering the Originium technique, it seems that this possibility is not impossible.

"How do you know, Mr. Lu, that you recognize this kind of crystal?"

A police officer from the scientific research department took the initiative to ask.

"I don't know him, but I can vaguely sense certain characteristics of him. If you don't believe me, you can conduct some experiments. Short-term radiation is ineffective. Long-term, large-scale radiation is required to be effective."

Seeing Lu Yuan so decisive.

The police officer did not ask any further questions, but nodded politely and thanked Lu Yuan.

"Thank you Mr. Lu for the reminder!"

The police officers then began to hail trucks and try to find a way to transport the crystal to the trucks.

Shi Huaiya, Chen Sir and Lu Yuan were discussing the whereabouts of other crystals.

After all, in such a large warehouse, there is only a piece of crystal that is half a person's height lying alone in the corner, and the rest of the place is empty. It is hard not to wonder whether there are more, or even a whole warehouse of such crystals being transported out.

Putting aside other things, the crystal is still very dangerous, so the Guards must recover it.

"The gang in this 60-block area is called the Sirius Gang. According to the gang members' confessions, the former leader had no intention of submitting to our 'Minliang Association' and was prepared to fight us to the death. However, one day, the former leader of the Sirius Gang suddenly gathered a large number of unwilling middle and high-ranking members and ordinary gang members and quietly left the 60-block area."

"so..."

"Were the more crystals in this warehouse moved at that time?!"

Sir Chen began to guess.

"It's very likely, and there must be a back-up. Otherwise, there's no way to go all the way. Yesterday they were ready to fight to the death, but today they immediately ran away without anyone noticing. This is more or less inconsistent with conventional logic."

"So...where did the former leader end up?"

"According to intelligence, he is said to have joined the Red Flower Society."

"Red Flower Society?!"

As soon as they heard this word, Shi Huaiya and Chen Sir immediately felt a toothache.

The Red Flower Society is a gang that is known to everyone in Longmen. It is one of the largest underworld forces in Longmen and also the gang with the largest number of members. It is also one of the oldest gangs in Longmen and is also the most powerful gang except for the Rat King.

In many of Longmen's film and television works about the underworld, various fictional gangs based on the "Red Flower Society" often appear.

In addition to knowing this, Lu Yuan also learned from the Rat King that the Red Flower Society had become the key to preventing the slum gangs from being wiped out during the initial period of Longmen's stability. In other words, the leader of the Red Flower Society was crucial to the fact that these gangs could now compete with the Rat King.

That's why I heard this name.

Sir Chen and Shi Huaiya then felt a headache.

"So, this cult that believes in natural disasters is not only colluding with many of the capitalists in Upper City, but it might also be colluding with the leader of the Red Flower Society..."

Shi Huaiya carefully analyzed the current situation.

"Actually... the most important thing right now is that we don't know the specific function of this special crystal."

Lu Yuan said slowly.

Although he already knew what kind of impact the crystal would have on the human body, he really had no idea what its specific effects were, and this was the most fatal thing.

and....

Lu Yuan guessed that the reason a cult was so desperately trying to manipulate this special crystal called the 'Holy Stone' was definitely not because of its symbolic role as a 'Holy Stone', but because it actually had some effect...

Wouldn't it really summon a natural disaster?

When Lu Yuan thought about it this way, he couldn't help but feel that this possibility was a bit too ridiculous.

Natural disasters themselves are natural phenomena.

When will humans be able to directly summon natural phenomena? If they had this ability, why would this cult be hunted down by the Guards like this?

Just thinking about it doesn't seem feasible.

All that's left is to make weapons and stuff.

"But... the most embarrassing thing now is... the chain of evidence is broken."

Although it can be speculated that the original goods in this warehouse might have been secretly transferred to the "Red Flower Society" by the leader of the Tianlang Gang.

But the Royal Guards have no evidence at all. In this underworld where rules are crucial, you can't gain a foothold without evidence, unless you have the strength to disregard the rules. However, given the Red Flower Society's sphere of influence, if they really could disregard the rules, the Rat King would have already defeated them, not the Royal Guards."

"Hey...."

Shi Huaiya sighed heavily, clearly feeling somewhat lost and frustrated. She turned her head, looked at Lu Yuan, and said with a smile, "Anyway, thank you for your assistance, Xiao Yuan. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to lock onto a more detailed target so quickly. Leave the rest to us. Xiao Yuan, you've only just taken control of this area, and the manpower is still insufficient and unstable. You should develop it slowly. The rest can be left to us, the Guard Bureau."

"Don't work too hard, always come to me if you have any difficulties."

Lu Yuan took advantage of the time when no one was paying attention and rubbed Shi Huaiya's head. As a film person, Shi Huaiya was also very happy that Lu Yuan could rub her little head, and her expression was very enjoyable.

On the contrary, An Suo, who had been like a secretary beside Lu Yuan, felt a little sad in his heart and couldn't help but spit out his lips.

Since the chain of evidence was interrupted again, Lu Yuan used the Originium technique to move the large crystal to the truck to prevent it from being touched directly.

Shi Huaiya and Chen Sir left the slums together.

Lu Yuan was preparing to return to the fields on the edge of the main urban area. Before leaving, he praised the gang member who took the initiative to provide information.

An Suo also silently memorized the name of this member.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan's life fell into peace again.

And early the next morning.

A series of crisp ding-dong sounds suddenly rang out in Lu Yuan's mind.

A line of prompt boxes appeared in front of his sight.

[Congratulations, the only main plot: No more hunger in the world]

[Longmen branch progress achieved]

10%, 20%

Lu Yuan saw the progress bar of the task increase directly from the original 7% to 22%.

【10% reward has been distributed】

[Title Reward: A Small Hope]

Through your own efforts, you have given 150,000 starving refugees hope of survival. You are their only hope in their dark lives. Although it is slim, it is extremely great.

[Title Effect: Your personality charisma is significantly enhanced. If your original intention remains unchanged, the trust of those around you will increase significantly (Note: If your original intention is lost or changes, the title will become invalid)]

【20% reward has been distributed】

[Title Reward: I Just Want Everyone to Have a Full Meal]

Your dream is great, but you are indeed small. However, being small does not mean you cannot accomplish great things.

[Title Effect: Your system points earned will be increased by an additional 10%]

Rewards are distributed.

Lu Yuan could see two additional titles in special fonts on his personal panel.

Although it is not a reward for one's own strength or crop growth, this kind of auxiliary reward is still very practical, especially the increase in system points, which is very important.

After all, with the growth of land in the future, the cultivation of higher-level crops will require hundreds of thousands of system points, and may even reach millions in the future.

If production is not increased, the system points will be in a serious shortage.

Rewards received.

Lu Yuan now felt that his whole body was filled with cleanliness, and he became more motivated to work.

And in the next few days.

It’s the fourth and a half month that Lin Yuxia has been on a business trip.

Under the arrangement of Lin Yuxia's female secretary, Lu Yuan met with a boss from the main urban area. The boss was very enthusiastic. After meeting Lu Yuan, he proposed that he planned to build a new factory in the slums.

Perhaps, these CEOs have more or less gotten some information through their own channels.

After all, his rapid expansion over the past two and a half months was no big secret, and anyone with any channels would know it very well.

Faced with the boss's initiative, Lu Yuan naturally agreed happily.

I received one, and then another.

Longmen has a lot of things, but it has a lot of CEOs from various companies. After Longmen brought them wealth, they also gave back huge returns to Longmen. It can be said that a region cannot exist without capital.

Although everyone is cursing capital, a country or a city cannot be separated from capital.

Therefore, whether or not one can suppress capital is a compulsory course for every leader.

Wei Yanwu is qualified in this regard, but leaders of some countries are seriously unqualified.

Lu Yuan welcomes the entry of these capital parties.

After all, the influx of capital can bring capital flow to the dilapidated slums, and once the capital flows, everything will develop faster.

at this point.

Block 79 is the best example.

Today's Block 79 is theoretically no different from an ordinary main urban area. Some people have even spontaneously formed a business district in the open area, where all kinds of things can be bought.

However, due to the short development time.

Everyone is still at the most primitive stage of working or setting up stalls.

Lu Yuan was sure of one thing.

The future is long.

Due to different choices, skills, courage and luck among these refugees in Block 79, different classes are bound to emerge in the future.

even...

A new capital prototype will emerge based on Block 79, and when that time comes, it will be the real test for Lu Yuan.

As for Lu Yuan's Minliang Group, it has developed rapidly with the strong support of the Shi Huaiya family and Lin Yuxia representing the Longmen Chamber of Commerce. In addition, the increase in the land area for raw material production, the improvement of technology level, the recruitment of experienced employees, coupled with its own high quality, has made Minliang Group have a tendency to become the leader in the field of secondary processing in the whole Longmen.

Unfortunately, the yield of 10,000 acres of wheat fields is still not very large. Many grain merchants hope to cooperate with Minliang Group, but An Suo decisively refused.

Minliang Group relies on its reputation for high-quality wheat processing. If it rashly uses wheat provided by other grain traders, the taste will inevitably be uneven. What's the difference between this and destroying its own reputation?

Therefore, Lu Yuan's Minliang Group has been on the verge of expansion but has been unable to expand on a large scale, or even export, due to limitations on raw material parameters.

But it doesn’t matter.

If it were normal capital, they might really use ordinary wheat for expansion and profit. At most, they would increase investment in public relations, buy out the media, and prevent buyers from expressing their dissatisfaction.

But Lu Yuan would not do that, and neither would the Minliang Group, which inherited Lu Yuan's will.

........

A few days later

In the middle of the slums.

"Rat King! I believe you must be aware of the recent events in the Blood Hand Gang's territory."

Rat King Lin Gerui sat lazily in his office in the slums, leaning on a cane with both hands. His big eyes were as calm as water as he silently looked at the old man of the same age sitting opposite him.

After arriving, Mr. Hu got straight to the point.

Beside Mr. Hu is Tie Wan, the new leader of the Black Tower Society.

"Nature knows."

The Rat King nodded casually. "That young man is quite capable. He was able to convince so many gangs to submit and invite his forces to join him. Even a behemoth like the Blood Hand Gang was willing to compromise. I never imagined that."

When the Rat King said this, there was even a hint of relief in his tone, but the two people in front of him couldn't hear it.

"Rat King! He has seriously disrupted the balance between our slums and violated your rules!"
