Global Lords: My Heroes Grow Infinitely Chapter 263 - 213: Economic Warfare with the Demon Race Bank

Barefoot Immortal also felt that his behavior was a bit excessive, and imdiately apologized, "Sorry, I got a bit carried away, but I think this thod is feasible, we can experint with it."

Just as Barefoot Immortal finished speaking, he found that there was no one around, as Rosen and the others had all disappeared without a trace.

"Strange, where did everyone go?"

At that mont, Rosen and the others were already preparing the sugar substitute they needed for the next day.

ng Die suddenly appeared, anxious, "Oh no, the minerals around here that can be used to grind the sugar substitute have run out, what should we do?"

"Then we have no choice but to go outside the abyss to mine. There’s no other way, it seems we’ll have to take a detour."

After Rosen finished speaking, ng Die said with a resigned look, "It seems that’s the only option."

ng Die really disliked taking long routes as it was a massive energy drain on her, and it was easy to starve halfway, which was not a situation she wanted to see. Besides, to avoid starving on the road, she’d have to replenish so food midway.

With this in mind, her distaste for taking long routes vanished instantly.

After buying a ton of snacks online, ng Die set off on her journey to find the minerals.

Along the way, she asked many people, including professional geologists, and learned that there were fault lines nearby. Where there are fault lines, the rock layers are rich and varied, allowing her to find all kinds of strange rocks.

ng Die imdiately headed towards the fault line described by the geologist and soon found her destination.

What lay before her was a cliff, steep, with goats climbing it.

These mountain goats appear on cliffs rich in salts, licking the rock salts on the cliff face to replenish the electrolytes they need.

This indicates that the rock face is full of salt. If the raw materials for the sugar substitute also exist here, it would be a sugar substitute with salt, forming a new flavor.

Sweet plus salty equals umami!

Just as ng Die was about to start carving, she suddenly noticed a mountain spring water flowing down the cliff face. ng Die imdiately cupped so spring water and tasted it in her mouth.

"Hmm, it’s just this fresh sweet taste, both salty and sweet!"

Like discovering a new continent, ng Die was overjoyed and instantly thought of mining the cliff face where the spring water flowed from.

But before long, ng Die found herself encircled by the surrounding goats.

The reason was, they believed ng Die’s mining behavior was disrupting the sustainable and harmonious developnt of nature, which was an undesirable action.

"Cumin, spicy, hot, roast lamb leg, whole roast lamb..."

In this awkward situation, ng Die recited a spell and quickly drove the goats surrounding her away.

Only then could she happily collect the rocks.

In no ti, she had collected a ton of rocks, enough for what they wanted to sell today.

When the minerals were brought back, Rosen routinely inspected the minerals they had brought back.

He discovered that Barefoot Immortal’s minerals were pitch black and had a strong fishy stench, and he imdiately covered his nose, saying, "Barefoot, are you sure you didn’t dig these minerals with your feet?"

"Oh, I did dig the minerals with my feet, why?"

"Why, indeed? Look, each mineral is wrapped in your foot odor. Are you sure such minerals can make sugar substitutes that can be sold?"

Upon hearing Rosen’s reprimand, Barefoot Immortal’s expression beca stunned, "Are you saying you look down on my minerals?"

"No, that’s not what I an. Could you please move your foot away?"

Rosen said nervously.

Then his gaze turned to what Miao Renfeng had brought back.

It turned out the minerals could move on their own, startling him greatly, "Whoa, the minerals have beco spirits?"

"No, these are actually Ice Sugar Gu Insects I specifically sought out after returning to Miaojiang. They have a very high sugar content and can be used to make soup, resulting in a thick and savory broth."

Rosen imdiately flipped his lid and said, "I already said, we’re making sugar substitutes, and the body can break down biological sugars into glucose, which can be digested and absorbed. We want sothing indigestible."

As the morning market ti drew closer, Rosen beca anxious. If they didn’t get the goods ready in ti, they would miss the morning market, and by then, angry custors would surely smash the store.

Thinking of this, Rosen could only pin his hopes on what ng Die brought back being what he wanted.

At that mont, a voice ca from outside, "ng Die is back!"

A group of wagons carrying several carriages of minerals galloped over.

"I have completed your task and brought back what you asked for."

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointnt. This ti, Rosen had no expectations for ng Die since the previous two had thoroughly disappointed him, and he estimated ng Die would be unreliable.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the wagons were opened, a dazzling light burst forth!

"Ah! This is... blinding my titanium-alloy dog eyes!"

Rosen exclaid in shock.

ng Die explained, "I ventured to a remote place in the East and discovered a kind of goat capable of climbing cliffs. These goats were licking the salt on the cliff face, and the crystals I mined from the cliff not only have sweetness but also carry so mineral salts, so this sugar has a salty-sweet characteristic."

After ng Die finished speaking, Rosen’s face paused for a mont.

"Are you sure this variety will be popular with custors?"

"It certainly will. After all, it’s a new flavor."

Rosen could only trust ng Die for now and decided to try grinding these minerals into fine granules.
