Chapter 504: Demanding High-End Materials From the Supreme Council

Judgment: "The items have been found. How much do you need?"

Tower: "1000 basic units."

Judgment: "The items have been mailed to you."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chu Yuan finally found the valuable materials Lan Qingyou needed, and gave them very straightforwardly.

It left people dumbfounded.

To be honest, it was still that old cliché problem from before.

Because the Witch Clan cut off the supply of potions and traded privately with others, the Supreme Council lost at least 70% of the potion market share.

So when Lan Qingyou needed materials, some people in the Supreme Council simply didn't want to give them.

After all, they and the Witch Clan—especially the 'Dark Witches' on Lan Qingyou's side—had essentially fallen out with each other.

The reasoning made sense.

Everyone also knew that what those opposing council members said was very correct.

But...

Chu Yuan: It is said that the curse-type magic was researched and developed by the Tower Witch based on the situation she learned after returning from the dungeon.

Give, give, give, give, give!

Isn't it just a bit of material!

Although Millennium Tree Branches were considered top-tier rare materials, their Supreme Council had a large family and a big business, they weren't short of this bit.

In short, they had Chu Yuan pass on the messages: 'Don't underestimate the bonds of our Supreme Council' and 'Just speak up if you need anything in the future'.

Their posture was very low, but they had to lower it.

That was curse-type magic!

Based on the intelligence they currently grasped, those four guys who fell for it were still hovering on the boundary between life and death to this day.

It was that kind of 'a living death' state where one thought they would die at any moment, but couldn't die no matter what.

To be honest, many people were afraid of death.

But if they gritted their teeth, it wasn't something they couldn't get through.

After all, it was just closing one's eyes.

At least the members of the Supreme Council, who had been struggling on the Karim Continent for so long, were mentally prepared for this.

But this kind of state worse than death was purely playing with people's minds.

Therefore! Although bowing one's head was shameful, bowing to Witches was not shameful.

And on Lan Qingyou's side, after getting the materials, she began her own preparations.

The upgrade of the Roosting Giant Tree facility required Millennium Tree Branches, Giant Tree Branches, War Ancient Tree Branches, Knowledge Ancient Tree Branches, Life Ancient Tree Branches, and Wind Ancient Tree Branches—things that should originally be very difficult to obtain.

But for Lan Qingyou, she was completely 'at the forefront of upgrades'.

However, thinking about it, the ancient tree branch was previously under the protection of the Four Great Ancient Trees. If one couldn't defeat the Four Great Ancient Trees, they naturally couldn't obtain the ancient tree branch.

Looking at it this way, there was a necessary connection between these materials and the Roosting Giant Tree.

Or rather, they were originally meant to be used as 'nutrients' for the Roosting Giant Tree planted from the ancient tree branch later.

The branches of these ancient trees were undoubtedly very precious; after all, a single drop of sap could allow someone to gain a skill.

But now that they were to be used to upgrade the Roosting Giant Tree, there was no helping it.

Fortunately, because of her persistence back then, Lan Qingyou had brought back all four trees entirely.

Although a portion was squeezed into juice due to limited carrying capacity at the time, there was still a lot left untouched.

She just took the Pink Infantry's chainsword and started cutting directly.

Anyway, the so-called basic unit wasn't standardized, as long as it wasn't too far off overall it was fine.

And just as Lan Qingyou finished preparing the materials needed for the Roosting Giant Tree, the others also fully prepared the materials for the Flight Control Center.

Nightmare Witch: "All personnel evacuated, we can proceed with the upgrade at any time."

Because she had stayed with Lan Qingyou in the dungeon for ten months, Catherine, the Nightmare Witch, could now be considered a new right-hand woman for Lan Qingyou.

But unlike Diana who handled clerical work, Catherine assisted Lan Qingyou more in terms of execution.

And that group of 'dungeon team' members under her, apart from the original Witch Coven members, the rest were assigned to her management to do some fieldwork.

Coordinating between Witches like this was part of her job description.

Tower Witch: "Received, I will start preparing for the upgrade immediately."

[Each sanctuary upgrade allows you to select three facilities for modification. Please choose carefully according to your own needs.]

[Do you want to upgrade.]

[Yes.]

After selecting the three facilities [Flight Management Center], [Roosting Giant Tree], and the [Bathroom] used for enjoyment, Lan Qingyou quickly and impatiently chose to upgrade.

It was still the familiar smoke and familiar construction sounds.

Except this time, the 3D adjustment screen that appeared at level five showed up again.

She remembered it didn't seem to be there at level six?

Was it because it was an odd number? Or simply because there were relatively massive changes this time?

As the project's drafter and executor, Lan Qingyou naturally knew how big the changes were this time.

After all, digging an entire Typhon City out of the ground was a very difficult task no matter how you thought about it.

Not to mention making this behemoth fly.

But now wasn't the time to worry about this. After looking at the 3D graphic of the entire Eureka City, Lan Qingyou installed the flight control room in the relatively sparsely populated and heavily guarded Industrial Zone.

Besides a portion of Witches doing research, everything else that could move there was a Golem.

And because that was the mass production area for the research results of most Witches, the defensive strength there was even stronger than the Witch Academy.

After all, the apprentice Witches of the Witch Academy were also considered a type of defensive power themselves.

Of course.

After experiencing the long Forsaken War, those apprentice Witches who originally couldn't graduate had also rapidly grown due to the war, and their numbers had decreased a lot now.

But apprentice Witches who weren't good at drawing Magic Arrays or other things still existed.

But it didn't matter, raising them didn't cost much money anyway.

Moreover, although these Witches weren't good at the subjects prescribed by the academy, it didn't mean they didn't have their own strengths.

So they could also support themselves.

After all, the saying that the Witch Clan averaged one Alchemist per Witch wasn't just a joke.

And right now, the trend on the Karim Continent was that no matter what kind of potion it was—high-end, mid-range, low-end, or even those with poor efficacy—there were people buying them.

Lan Qingyou had temporarily not considered making new Witch Potions to increase the number of Witches.

It wasn't that she lacked materials, but there was no need.

Now that the Race War had begun, looking at the world channel, large-scale conquests had already started in some places.

Under these circumstances, she didn't want to distribute Witch Potions even if they were made.

Anyway, as long as everyone happily researched together, it was fine. As for those people below fighting to the death, that had nothing to do with their Witch Clan.

Rather, the Witch Clan not stepping in to get involved was already their ultimate conscience.

However, Witches would still run dungeons.

No matter what, it was a stable source of attribute points, there was no reason not to go.

As for other humans, they would try not to contact them as much as possible. The wounds were too deep, the pain too deep...
