Chapter 500 · Volume 1

A Civil Engineering Girl Group!?

After chatting with everyone for a while longer, Lan Qingyou floated out of the bathtub.
Returning to her bed on the sixth floor, she pulled out a set of documents.
These documents contained the production methods for nutrient solutions that she had obtained from Alisa.
Previously, when Lan Qingyou and Diana were discussing things, they had only thought about how to recover the Magic Eyes the witches had lost.
They hadn't given a single thought to how they would store them.
Fortunately, Vivian's delivery of Magic Eyes had allowed her to identify this mental blind spot.
Otherwise, when everyone actually went out to recover them, they might not have had any containers to put them in.
They would have had to watch helplessly as those Magic Eyes withered and died.
Of course...
The recovery process would still have to wait until the research into curse magic produced advanced curses.
After all, locations like the Demon Hunters' nests had not yet been scouted. At most, they could only lure out a group of Demon Hunters and kill them, as Vivian had done in her recent battle.
Otherwise, trying to acquire so many Magic Eyes at once would be no easy feat.
“Blue Silver Leaf, Mana Water, Woolly Grass... these are easy enough to deal with. The key lies in the preparation of the Light Snake Grass Solvent, and I also need to consider the difference between a human body and a Magic Eye.”
“The irritation needs to be minimal, but in contrast, the mana content should ideally be more abundant. This is the only way to ensure everyone's Magic Eyes don't wither and die due to mana depletion.”
“In that case, replacing the Blue Silver Leaf with Star Origin Leaf seems like a better option.”
As she read through the materials, Lan Qingyou repeatedly scrutinized the production process and formula for the Magic Eye nutrient solution in her mind.
After all, the information Alisa had provided was for homunculus nutrient solutions, which would indeed be too irritating for unprotected Magic Eyes.
Furthermore, the homunculus nutrient solution focused on the growth of the homunculus inside the incubation vat.
Under those circumstances, the nutrient solution would be mixed with many components that aided growth. Naturally, those things were unnecessary and had to be removed.
As a result, the formula actually became quite a bit simpler.
Additionally, she had that bottle of confiscated nutrient solution on hand for analysis.
By cross-referencing the two, she was entirely capable of creating a potion more suitable for storing Magic Eyes.
In fact, it worked out exactly as Lan Qingyou had imagined.
With the two sources as references, Lan Qingyou spent only half a day the following morning experimenting. She had the formula figured out before lunch and brewed the first pot of potion that very evening.
While the potion was brewing, a message came in from Diana.
The personnel sent out to fight yesterday had returned, and they had received a definitive confirmation.
Whether it was a Degenerate or a monster, killing it would grant one attribute point.
However, the threshold for obtaining attributes from monsters was Level 50 and above.
Monsters below Level 50 would not grant any attributes.
It was precisely to clarify this matter that the members of the dispatch team had spent the entire night investigating, finally determining Level 50 as the minimum threshold.
This was good news for both Transmigrators and evolved beings alike.
Although, for the time being, Level 50 monsters only appeared in dungeons—and even then, only in the latter half of the brownish-tinted intermediate dungeons.
The ‘Gloomy Forest’ dungeon where Lan Qingyou and the others had previously been trapped was a prime example.
In the early stages, there were only Level 30 monsters, but the ones toward the end were Level 50.
Nevertheless, this bolstered many people's determination to run dungeons.
At the very least, one could see from the world channel that everyone's participation in this ‘Racial War’ version was very enthusiastic.
It was just unknown whether they would encounter a massive boss like the Beast Emperor at the end of those dungeons.
If they truly did, it would certainly be a very thrilling experience.
And if they didn't run fast enough, a total party wipe would also be a very ‘thrilling’ experience.
To be honest, if most of them hadn't been able to fly and use kite-flying tactics against the Beast Emperor back then, they would likely have suffered heavy casualties.
No... even with the ability to fly, quite a few of them had been shot down.
But that didn't stop them, as everyone could be resurrected.
Although resurrection came with the massive flaw of having a Soul Crystal as a mana core, at least the person was alive again.
The Tower: “This is a newly developed potion. It can preserve the freshness of the Magic Eyes to the greatest extent possible.”
After creating the potion, Lan Qingyou immediately gave some of the finished product and the recipe to Diana.
After all, as Lan Qingyou's manager, Diana was the most suitable person to handle matters of production and coordination.
Witch of Knowledge: “For storing the Magic Eyes?”
The Tower: “Yes. I've already ordered some small glass jars from Shang Chuan. You just need to find a place to store those recovered Magic Eyes when the time comes.”
Witch of Knowledge: “No need to go to such trouble. Just pick one of the tree hollow warehouses in your shelter for storage.”
Tree hollow warehouses?
At the mention of that term, Lan Qingyou immediately thought of her warehouses that never seemed to get full.
Indeed, clearing one out to store Magic Eyes seemed like a pretty good idea.
Furthermore, compared to others storing these Magic Eyes, it was more appropriate and safer for her, the Clan Leader, to keep them.
It wasn't that Lan Qingyou was being arrogant; it was because now that the large magic shield was gone, the Five Dragon Reincarnation Protection Magic Circle was the best defense.
Thus, after filling the dozens of sample glass bottles of various shapes and sizes she had received from Shang Chuan with the newly made potion, Lan Qingyou placed the thirty-one Magic Eyes she had previously obtained from Vivian inside them.
Of course, she didn't forget the leg-enhancement Magic Eye she had gotten from Snow White.
However, due to its unique nature, Lan Qingyou didn't put this Magic Eye in the warehouse with the others. Instead, she kept it in her bedroom within the shelter—the highest level of the shelter.
This way, she didn't have to worry about it being lost, and she could access it immediately whenever she needed it in the future.
After completing these assignments, Lan Qingyou opened her card again. This time, however, she wasn't sending a message to Diana, but to the members of the Witch Group.
The Tower: “Who's free right now? I have a project here that needs ten to twenty people.”
Dream Witch: “Here she comes, the wicked contractor. What do you want us to do this time?”
The Tower: “How tragic. Someone actually called me a contractor!”
Dream Witch: “Well, aren't you? Every time you call us, it's either to dig dirt or lay bricks. You've turned the whole Witch Group into something like a construction crew.”
Although Alice's joke was meant as a joke, it was how most people in the Witch Group felt.
The Witch Group's first mobilization had been specifically to create magic circles, and after that, they had taken on many joint orders from the Adventurers' Guild and the Supreme Council.
And that wasn't all.
After the Abandoned Land finally settled down, this woman had come up with that massive protection magic circle.
As a result, they had spent a long time digging in the Abandoned Land again.
Under these circumstances, the entire Witch Group had seemingly transformed into a civil engineering girl group.
