Chapter 76: Open the door, the community is here to deliver warmth—no, it's to deliver a Third Order Sun Stone

The Sunflower King has been a bit troubled lately, so worried that its petals can hardly unfurl.

Although the work of cleaning up Exotic Beasts is lucrative, many of its sub-plants have now reached the Second Order Peak.

Without Sun Stones, those Second Order sunflowers have no way to evolve and can only keep splitting into more sub-plants.

But Sun Stones don't just appear out of thin air; where should it go to find them?

My head hurts so much; it feels like I'm growing a brain.

After thinking for a while, the Sunflower King simply decided not to think about it anymore.

Flowers are so cute, why do things that tax the brain? The sunshine is so nice right now, isn't it good to just bask in it?

Thinking about these kinds of things isn't its specialty.

Only sunflowers that don't worry can live longer and live more beautifully; otherwise, the petals and leaves will all fall off from thinking too much, and how ugly would it be to be bald?

At worst, it will just do as Ye Bai said and sell high-quality Sun Flower Nectar in exchange for high-order Sun Stones.

Because they have cleaned up so many Exotic Beasts, besides splitting into sub-plants, the excess energy is stored by the sunflowers in their own petals, brewed into Sun Flower Nectar.

Now, wherever the sunflowers pass, the fragrance of the nectar is enough to make passing children cry with greed.

After continuously absorbing the flesh and blood of high-order Exotic Beasts, the Sunflower King alone has condensed five or six drops of Life Crystal Dew.

People from the cleaning company are monitoring the sunflowers' movements via drones; they are operating in the shadows.

They went to Stone Wisdom City first and set things up a little to ensure nothing would go wrong.

The president of the Shihui Shi Chongshou Gonghui is surnamed Feng; he is the one who is as thin as a hemp stalk and has a miserable, worried look on his face.

But today, after welcoming the sunflower army, he changed his usual worried expression and smiled very brightly and radiantly.

Stone Wisdom City borders the Shiku Mijin, and from time to time, Ore Beasts rush out from the Shiku Mijin to wreak havoc.

Therefore, the number of Beast Tides faced by Stone Wisdom City is the highest in Yandong Province.

Ore Beasts are heavy, and cleaning them up after they die is difficult; they cause inconvenience to pedestrians and require two large cranes to haul them away.

Their shells are as hard as iron and extremely difficult to cut.

More importantly, after an Ore Beast dies, the rotting food in its intestines causes its body to produce a large amount of putrid gas.

It will then experience a phenomenon like a stranded whale, a "whale explosion."

Once an Ore Beast explodes, the power is not to be underestimated; the rocks covering its body act like cannonballs and will cause great impact to the citizens of Stone Wisdom City.

At best, it results in broken heads and bleeding; at worst, it lands people in the ICU drinking rice porridge.

The cleaning company takes advantage of this; whenever a Beast Tide occurs, they always demand exorbitant prices in Stone Wisdom City.

Now that the Ore Beasts have been dead for nearly five days, they could explode at any moment, so when President Feng saw the sunflower army arrive, it was like seeing a living Bodhisattva.

The secretary who escorted the sunflower army to Stone Wisdom City said to President Feng, "President Feng, I am the secretary of the Jiaying City Pet Beast Association, Xiao Liang. According to the contract, please ensure you protect the safety of the Sunflower King."

"After signing the contract, if the amount on the contract is not fulfilled, you may consider replacing it with crystal cores or Secret Treasures of equal value; everything will be based on market-assessed value."

Secretary Liang was like a shrewd and capable executive assistant at this moment; the Sun Flower Cleaning Company was even registered by her personally and placed under the name of the Jiaying City Pet Beast Association; this was Zhang Lingxue's protection for Ye Bai.

This contract was signed right to President Feng's heart's content; because Stone Wisdom City is a place where Beast Tides erupt frequently, most of their finances are used to pay the fees of cleaning companies.

However, because the Shiku Mijin is rich in various evolution stones, Stone Wisdom City does not lack evolution stones and high-order Earth Type crystal cores.

So, from the moment the contract was signed, President Feng had this idea in mind.

He intended to barter; it wasn't that he hadn't thought about bartering with the people from the cleaning company, but the people from the cleaning company were very greedy, and the prices of crystal cores and evolution stones were pressed very, very low.

They could make a huge profit by reselling them.

President Feng had long been tired of this group of greedy hyenas, but he had never been able to find other cleaning companies to cooperate with.

The Sunflower Legion poured into Stone Wisdom City in a mighty force; they spread throughout the streets and alleys and began to process the Ore Beasts.

The crystal cores of the Ore Beasts had already been taken by the people from the Shihui Shi Chongshou Gonghui.

But the sunflowers didn't mind; the bodies of the Ore Beasts were rich in abundant Earth Type energy, and compared to crystal cores and flesh, the sunflowers preferred to absorb Earth Type energy.

Earth generates wood; the corpses of the Ore Beasts could strengthen the wood-type origin of the sunflowers, making their crystal cores refined to be purer and closer to nature.

The roots of the sunflowers pierced into the carcasses of the Ore Beasts, as comfortable as a stranded fish swimming into the sea.

President Feng watched as the massive Ore Beasts were absorbed clean by the sunflowers in just a few minutes, and he immediately had great confidence in the Sun Flower Cleaning Company.

The sunflowers dispersed to various streets to clean up the Ore Beast corpses, especially those that looked like they were about to explode; they were their priority targets.

The Ore Beasts' incredibly hard rock shells were like paper under the sunflowers' iron-hard roots.

One could only hear the *hiss-hiss* sound of gas being released, and the originally bloated Ore Beast corpses instantly shriveled up significantly.

The putrid smell of decay was masked by the floral fragrance, and the entire processing process was very quiet, producing no noise, except for the *hiss-hiss* sound of the gas release.

In just one hour, the Ore Beasts on one street were cleaned up completely, and even the damaged parts of the street were repaired by the sunflowers.

A faint fragrance wafted through the air, and looking at the spotless street, President Feng was moved to tears; this money was well spent.

Sun Flower Cleaning Company is the best; from now on, he is a loyal fan of the Sun Flower Cleaning Company.

Just then, a group of sunflowers suddenly gathered around, and a Sun Stone emitting a golden light appeared before them.

This was something that had fallen out of the Ore Beast's body just now while they were absorbing it.

The Sun Stone emitted vast energy; in the eyes of the Second Order sunflowers, it was a big piece of fat.

It is unknown which sunflower made the first move, but this group of sunflowers started to fight.

A drone was floating in the sky, observing everything in secret.

The bosses of the cleaning company were watching the scene of the sunflowers fighting via the drone, and smiles of satisfaction appeared on their faces.

The plan succeeded!

"Haha, Lao Yang, you're still the smart one; a Third Order Sun Stone made the sunflowers turn against each other."

"High, truly high."

"From now on, I, Lao Wang, will follow your lead."

The fat boss gave a thumbs up.

A group of bosses were all flattering Lao Yang, blowing him up until he felt like he was floating on air.

"You see the results now, you should be at ease now, right?"

"Go ahead and release the remaining Sun Stones."

"We need to make the Sun Flower population as chaotic as possible; only then can we fish in troubled waters and snatch the business back."

It was just that they didn't know that these Sun Flowers fighting each other were all sub-strains split from the Sun Flower King.

Their purpose in fighting was also to screen for the strongest among them, possessing enough physique to evolve.

Yet this act of fighting accidentally caused those cleaning company bosses to misunderstand, making them think this method was effective.

Thus, Tier 3 Sun Stones appeared unexpectedly in every corner of Stone Wisdom City like Chinese cabbage.

In ponds, in bushes, on statues—they were all 'accidentally' discovered by the Sun Flowers.

More and more Sun Flowers began to fight one after another after discovering the Sun Stones, and the cleaning work also fell into a state of suspension.

"Hahaha, our plan succeeded."

"This time it will be embarrassing for the Sun Flower Cleaning Company and President Feng."

"That old guy President Feng actually dared to reject us before; this time we must report an exorbitant price to make up for our losses."

"He can't afford to wait; as far as I know, the Ore Beast has been dead for five days and is in an extremely dangerous state."

"This time we must make him beg us before we take action."

"Exactly, exactly, we've cooperated for so long, yet he turned around and found someone else."

"If he had found one of us, fair competition would be one thing, but a powerful outsider suddenly barged in."

"I want to let them know the saying that a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across everyone's faces.

The orderly Sun Flowers suddenly became chaotic, fighting everywhere.

After the Sun Flower King received the feedback information from the sub-strains, it was actually quite interested.

Having followed Ye Bai for a long time, it had also become much more black-bellied.

There must be a conspiracy in this.

How could these Tier 3 Sun Stones pop up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain? It was as if the words 'I am a conspiracy' were practically written on the Sun Stones.

So annoying, it feels like it's time for me to grow a brain.

The Sun Flower King used its leaves to scratch its head.

Whatever, since someone is sending them over, it would be a waste not to use them.

Anyway, the official explanation to the outside world is that we found them.

A Sun Flower made contact with a Sun Stone and found a place that could be reached by the sun.

The light of evolution rose from its body, but this guy didn't seem to withstand such overwhelming fortune; its body directly burst apart into pieces.

The Sun Stone fell to the ground and rolled a few times, stained with green liquid; that Sun Flower's crystal core was collected by other Sun Flowers.

Another Sun Flower trotted over and picked up the Sun Stone.

After repeating this cycle many times, finally, one Sun Flower evolved into a Tier 3 Sun Flower.

By the time the Sun Flowers finished evolving, the twenty Tier 3 Sun Stones had directly produced seventeen Tier 3 Sun Flowers, most of which had evolved from Sun Flowers split from Ye Bai's Sun Flower King body.

The remaining three Sun Stones created three Flower Fairies.

This counted as a branch evolution of the Sun Flower.

The Flower Fairy had two pairs of transparent wings and looked like a small person; its clothes were woven from leaves, and it was a darling of the wind, capable of summoning the power of a Gale.

At the same time, it was also skilled in healing; with the help of the Sun Flower King's Flower Nectar, it could use many healing-type skills.

The number of Tier 3 Sun Flowers in the Sun Flower Cleaning Company further expanded, and as for the scene of mutual fighting that Lao Yang had envisioned, it simply did not appear.

Instead, the Sun Flower Kings worked together in unison, cleaning up the Ore Beast in Stone Wisdom City in a very short time, and received great praise from President Feng of the Shihui Shi Chongshou Gonghui.

This time, the cleaning company bosses had lost both their wife and their soldiers.

The expectations were not met, and they had lost so many Tier 3 Sun Stones; Lao Yang was surrounded by the angry cleaning company bosses.

Begging for votes, begging for votes, my brain ran away from home today, I also want to send warmth to the community.
