[Lapis Lazuli City Wall S]
[Function: Defends against monster attacks.]
[Description: A city wall crafted from rare stones such as lapis lazuli, adamantine, and moonstone. Trust , this wall is not just for show; it is incredibly sturdy.]
"Tsk tsk, how extravagant."
Looking at the city wall that suddenly appeared in the distance, Lan Qingyou muttered to herself, then went back to whatever she was supposed to be doing.
......
While the group discussed the city wall ntioned by the world's will, Diana was holding a serious eting on her end.
The main topic of the eting was incredibly simple.
Naly, how to effectively and practically increase the permanent population of Typhon City.
"So you are saying that from now on, a city's strength will likely be determined by the number of its permanent residents?"
After listening to Diana's brief introduction, the Witches attending the eting essentially grasped the general idea.
"Diana, does the Clan Head want us to decide this ourselves? Or is there a specific direction we should follow?"
Beatrice, the Golden Witch with long blonde hair and a dark red dress embroidered with gold patterns, tapped her folding fan in her hand as she fired off two consecutive questions.
These two questions were not to be underestimated, as they would define the scope of their upcoming work.
Therefore, it was sothing that absolutely had to be clarified.
If Lan Qingyou already had a direction in mind, they would simply follow it.
If there was no set direction, then they would need to take creative liberties.
Both options had their pros and cons.
Having a direction ant they would not waste any ti; they could just channel all their efforts towards that specific goal.
On the other hand, having the freedom to operate without a set direction was naturally even better.
After all, free rein ant the Clan Head only cared about the results and not the process, leaving them a massive amount of operational flexibility.
"No, you have completely free rein, but it needs to be done quickly. Ideally, we need it completed within a month."
Diana shook her head.
The reason she gave a one-month deadline was because both Lan Qingyou and Diana felt that a month was the absolute limit.
After a month, soone else might uncover this secret.
Thus, they had to act fast and successfully attract the necessary population before anyone else caught on.
"Of course, in order to accommodate the incoming population, the Clan Head will have the golem factory operating at maximum capacity. We will need your cooperation when the ti cos, Margaret."
"That won't be a problem."
Wearing a dark blue robe and sprawled over the table as if fast asleep, the Fantasy Witch Margaret weakly raised her hand in response.
Seeing Margaret in this state, Diana knew the other woman must have pulled an all-nighter doing experints again, so she paid no mind to her lethargic deanor.
"Working overti again?"
The Golden Witch Beatrice asked casually.
"No."
"Hmm?"
"It doesn't count as overti if I haven't slept yet."
"...Even being a corporate slave should have its limits. Haven't you just wasted your transmigration living like this?"
Never expecting such an answer, Beatrice nearly laughed out of sheer exasperation.
Margaret simply shifted her posture slightly, mumbled, "Mhm," and said nothing more.
"Alright, leave her be. Let's get back to discussing the task at hand."
Not wanting to get sidetracked, Diana tapped her finger lightly against the tabletop to draw everyone's attention back to her.
"Now, let's figure out exactly how we can attract people to Typhon City, as well as how to trick... ahem, persuade those minor races of tens of thousands to migrate here."
Having nearly spoken her true thoughts out loud, Diana quickly adjusted her phrasing and glanced around the eting room.
"True, trying to persuade them one by one would be far too difficult."
For Susi, the Poison Witch who had prior experience with this kind of work, she never wanted to do sothing like this again.
Back then, even when she was personally offering the Witch's Potion, many of the people on her list had still rejected her.
It was true.
Even when it ca to Evolution Items, everyone's needs were different.
Of those who had previously signed up to beco Witches, about a fifth of them turned down the offer when Susi and the others showed up at their doors with the Witch's Potion.
Their reasons were largely the sa: they had already acquired evolution potions for other races.
If one were to use Gu Xiaobei's analogy, it was rely like those people choosing a different race over the Witch Clan on the character selection screen after logging into a ga. It was no big deal.
However, for the one executing the task, being short a fifth of the people ant that Susi and Sophia had to make up the missing quota themselves.
It was easy enough for Sophia, as she was backed by the Supre Council and had absolutely no shortage of personnel.
But it was a different story for Susi; she had to find candidates on her own.
Even if she mobilized the dozen or so people in her team to search and distribute, waiting for their numbers to snowball still required a significant amount of ti.
She simply could not pull off a 'potion-vanishing trick' the way Sophia did.
As for whether handing out those Witch's Potions to mbers of the Supre Council would cause any negative fallout for Sophia, Susi did not care in the slightest.
After all, Lan Qingyou had explicitly told her that it did not matter who received them.
With the Clan Head confidently declaring things like, 'Even if we distribute them to the Supre Council, they won't be able to hurt ,' Susi figured there was no need to cause herself any unnecessary ntal strain over the matter.
"Diana, regarding the two points you just ntioned, I've actually co up with a few half-baked ideas."
Seeing that aside from Susi, everyone else was just frowning in deep thought without saying a word.
Beatrice decided to raise her hand.
"That's fine. Even if they are half-baked, bring them to the table and we can all brainstorm and refine them together."
Seeing soone take the initiative, Diana breathed a sigh of relief.
The scariest part of holding a eting wasn't having too many people, but dead silence. Now that Beatrice had spoken up, the discussion could finally proceed.
"Alright, then allow to share my thoughts first."
Beatrice stood up and slowly held up a single finger.
"First is the Witch's Potion. This is of the utmost importance. While few n would willingly want to turn into young won, on a global scale, there are still plenty of won who desire to beco Witches. Therefore, we need to dispatch people to search for ancient bloodlines."
"I hope the Patrol Team can expedite this process. Otherwise, we won't see any substantial results within a month."
After all, this was the main draw to attract people.
Right now, Evolution Items were arguably the most alluring treasures on the entire Kalim Continent, so they could not afford to neglect this point.
Resting her chin on her hand, the Patrol Team Captain, the White-Haired Witch Nangong Lengyue, cast a sidelong glance at Beatrice after being called out and replied in a detached tone.
"Due to the recent restructuring, the task of locating the ancient bloodline dungeons is currently being handled by the Tourism Departnt. Our Patrol Team won't step in until the dungeons are actually found."
It was true.
The Tourism Departnt also shouldered this very mission.
Which was exactly why not a single mber of the Tourism Departnt was present at the eting. Even their departnt head had already left Typhon City.
Jokes aside, if they didn't constantly travel, could they even be called the Tourism Departnt?
