"Announcent Four: In addition to the Teleportation Array for convenient travel, the Adventurer's Guild is surrounded by temporary lodging inns, taverns, and shops. These establishnts sell delicious food, strong liquors, Witch Potions, various fruits and vegetables, wheat, rice, weapons, armor, camping gear, and more."
Following the release of the fourth announcent, the world channel finally returned to a state of calm.
However, the hearts of everyone present were anything but peaceful.
Very well then!
Since everyone refused to exchange their currency, they decided to pull this trick, huh.
We will buy it! It is just one silver coin, what is the big deal?!
So people originally wanted to hold their ground, but... the Supre Council was offering far too much.
Are you kidding ?
They provided Teleportation Arrays, Adventurer's Cards, and fine dining, even thoughtfully preparing places for leisure and relaxation.
As long as the prices were not entirely outrageous, going on a bit of a spending spree was not an issue at all.
The most important factor was that the Teleportation Array allowed them to travel to dungeons in other regions. They could spend their money, head straight into a dungeon, use the storage function of their Cards to hoard loot, and then return to sell it all to the Adventurer's Guild. The wealth earned could then be spent all over again.
It was a flawless economic cycle!
With this barrage of features, everyone's daily schedules had been ticulously arranged.
As for Lan Qingyou and the other participants, they were equally unsettled.
'Good heavens, did the Supre Council really set all this up behind our backs?'
'I thought they were only preparing the currency and the Teleportation Arrays, but they actually built inns, taverns, and shops?'
Fair enough.
As the creator of the Five Dragons Reincarnation Magic Array, Lan Qingyou knew perfectly well that establishing all these facilities within a one-kiloter radius was entirely feasible.
'But while the Witches over there are simultaneously studying and constructing the array, you guys are actually building houses?'
She had to admit, faced with such massive profits, those people were not the least bit worried about the magic array detonating right on the spot.
'Since you guys are not afraid, I might as well add so fuel to the fire and see if you can achieve urbanization even faster.'
At this thought, a grin distinct to soone thoroughly enjoying a good spectacle spread across Lan Qingyou's face.
Tower: "Speaking of which, while conducting research a few days ago, I accidentally expanded the range of the Five Dragons Reincarnation Magic Array from a one-kiloter diater to a five-kiloter diater."
Star: "Hmm?"
Fool: "Wait, isn't this a slightly inappropriate ti to bring that up?"
Tower: "Not at all, I think it's the perfect ti."
Judgnt: "Na your price."
Tower: "See? Perfectly appropriate."
Fool: "..."
A five-kiloter diater was a truly massive expanse of land.
Leaving everything else aside, constructing a city capable of housing a million residents within that area would be absolutely no problem.
Of course, due to the existence of Mana Turbulence, Mana Tides, natural disasters, and the limits of supporting infrastructure in this world, building skyscrapers was definitely out of the question.
But even so, even if that capacity was slashed in half, housing half a million people would be perfectly viable.
A city of five hundred thousand was already considered a major tropolis by current standards. It would be incredibly beneficial for administration, economic developnt, and various other pursuits.
Because of this, Judgnt made the final decision right then and there, without even reporting it to the Supre Council's channel.
Watching this unfold, Lan Qingyou laughed until her shoulders shook.
'Inco is inco. No matter how you count it, you can never have too much.'
In the few hours following the release of the announcent, Lan Qingyou noticed a flood of ssages sweeping across the world channel.
Phrases like "Welco the Teleportation Array to [Location]" and similar remarks dominated the chat.
Whether it was pure excitent or blatant self-promotion, none of it mattered to Lan Qingyou.
If anything caught her attention, it was the ongoing discussions about the locked destination options on the teleportation devices.
After all, those were private Teleportation Arrays that ordinary people could not access.
"Tsk, tsk, did you guys see the location options on the teleportation devices?"
"The Teleportation Array installation hasn't reached our area yet. What about it?"
"Nothing much, it just feels like there are a lot of private teleportation addresses on it. I even saw the Tower Witch's Teleportation Array, called the High Tower Witch's Habitat or sothing. It sounds so pretentious."
"That isn't unusual, is it? Didn't they ntion private Teleportation Arrays during the earlier announcent flood?"
"Of course I know that, but I'm wondering why they get to have their own private Teleportation Arrays. Isn't that a bit unfair?"
"Fair?"
"Bro, how the hell have you survived until now? If you aren't dead yet, could you do us a favor and go die right now?"
"Heh, talking about fairness on the Kalim Continent... did this guy inherit so ancient bloodline and evolve into a brainless Death Knight?"
"Why? Why the hell are you asking so many 'whys'? For profit, obviously! If a mutt like you could produce sothing that satisfied the Supre Council, you could open your own channel too."
"Exactly! If you lack the skill, then shut your damn trap. Your stench is reaching ."
"I heard the stone slabs used to craft the base of the Teleportation Arrays were brought out of dungeons by the Witches. If you had that kind of capability, I'd follow you into dungeons every day and kiss your feet."
Whether they were optimistic or pessimistic about the Supre Council's recent actions, everyone had their own opinions and their own stances.
However, Lan Qingyou, who had already stepped away from her Magic Desk, was completely oblivious to all this.
Right now, she had a single task: studying the tear of Cthuya.
After all, she had been back for quite so ti now; it was about ti to produce so results.
Although she had been continuously going out to raid dungeons over the past few days, she had never halted her research on the tear.
In truth, she was very close.
Or rather, the results were very close.
That morning, she had tossed all the materials into the Crucible to brew. Now that four hours had passed, the concoction was just about ready to be retrieved.
[Ding! Congratulations to the individual nad 'Lan Qingyou' for successfully developing the 'Advanced Potion - Talent Ascension (B)'. Please keep up the good work.]
[Advanced Potion - Talent Ascension (B)]
[Exclusive User: Lan Qingyou]
[Effect: 5% chance to upgrade the talent rank of a C-rank talent user.]
[Description: An essence crafted using Spirit-type materials. To ensure the successful creation of this Potion, the alchemist even utilized the tear of an Evil God as a spiritual neutralizing agent. Good heavens, one must admit this person is already completely insane. Hopeless. Just wait for death!]
[Recipe: Interdiate Potion - Talent Ascension (C), Pitcher Flower, Venus Leaf, Sailor Ghost Crystal Core, Sailor Skeleton Soul Crystal, Cthuya's Tear, Kumquat Wine...]
It was the sa familiar 5% success rate, but for a veteran like Lan Qingyou, that was hardly an issue.
This ti, she had added Kumquat Wine during the brewing process, giving the entire Potion a slightly sweet and sour taste.
Therefore, after finishing the batch, Lan Qingyou treated it like fruit juice, casually drinking a vial every now and then to soothe her dry throat.
As for worrying about failing the developnt process...
Hilarious. How could the Fire-Seeking Crucible, which boosted success rates by 80%, be such an inconvenient tool?
