My Cat Has Superpower?!
Chapter 368 - 367 Building the Wall Gradually Taking Shape

If a command room of a certain height were constructed, one could oversee the area beyond the wall.

But, do we really need such a thing...

As Zheng Dongnan began to doubt, Lu Zixun described, "In the future, command rooms should be built in all three zones—upper, middle, and lower—and must be large enough to accommodate the placement of Transmission Talismans."

Hearing this, contemplation flashed in Zheng Dongnan’s eyes.

Then, he immediately understood Lu Zixun’s intention.

Once the command rooms were equipped with Transmission Talismans, one could instantly appear in any command room.

Thus, even if the Insect Clan launched a full-scale attack on Zone 13, command could be established instantly.

After gesturing an "OK" sign to Lu Zixun, Zheng Dongnan began contemplating how to construct the command rooms.

As Lu Zixun, who was figuring out how to deal in Crimson Coins, suddenly remembered the Spirit Pattern Branches Wang Duli had mentioned.

It seems that only Zone 13 had those.

At this thought, Lu Zixun’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

This was a business of monopolistic proportions.

With the seller not worrying about transportation channels and with safety and convenience assured, as long as trade routes could be established, the Demon Clan could secure the funds needed for their recent development.

"West Garden, stop what you’re doing and come here."

Hearing Lu Zixun’s voice and turning back, Geng Xiyuan ran over when Lu Zixun beckoned: "Brother Xun, what’s up?"

"Do we have many Spirit Pattern Branches in Zone 13?"

Just after mentioning Spirit Pattern Branches, Geng Xiyuan snapped off a branch and said, "Not just many—they’re practically everywhere. Here, this is a Spirit Pattern Branch. It’s just unprocessed and can’t directly be used."

Taking the branch from Geng Xiyuan’s hands, Lu Zixun squinted at it for a while.

Then he asked, "Processed? Does the Spirit Pattern Branch need to be processed? Like stripping leaves?"

"How could it be."

With a dumbfounded laugh, Geng Xiyuan explained, "The growth of Spirit Pattern Branches requires the breath of the Demon Clan. To use them elsewhere, the branches must be treated with Demon Power by the Demon Clan to achieve the maximum effect."

Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze deepening as Spiritual Energy flowed into the Spirit Pattern Branch.

Indeed, he felt a faint trace of Demon Power within the branch.

If forcibly eradicated with Spiritual Energy, he’d be left with an ordinary branch.

To not use this godsent business opportunity to earn Crimson Coins would make Lu Zixun see himself as a fool.

Fortunately, Lu Zixun wasn’t foolish, and many ideas surfaced in his mind.

Lastly, he spoke indifferently, "West Garden, have the brothers gather these Spirit Pattern Branches and bring them to the Demon Country warehouse."

"These don’t have much use for the Demon Clan, not even for building houses; they dislike the scent of other Demon Clans."

Geng Xiyuan, looking puzzled at Lu Zixun, asked, "Brother Xun, what do you want with these branches?"

"Of course, to make money. The rapid development of the Demon Country relies on these Spirit Pattern Branches."

Lu Zixun smiled brightly, "I’ve recently been worried about earning Crimson Coins, and these Spirit Pattern Branches solve my urgent need."

Geng Xiyuan, not quite understanding how Spirit Pattern Branches could be linked to making money, nodded with apparent comprehension.

"Then I’ll get the brothers to chop the trees. Brother Xun, should we process these Spirit Pattern Branches?"

"That would be best."

Lu Zixun nodded slightly, looking at Geng Xiyuan like a praiseworthy student, "Well grasped, smart. Remember to keep the processed and unprocessed branches separate."

Having solved the issue of acquiring Crimson Coins, a new problem emerged.

That was, how to sell these Spirit Pattern Branches.

The last exchange for a diesel generator, for which they had no use, still deeply imprinted in Lu Zixun’s memory.

Unexpectedly, that old codger Wang Duli had bamboozled him.

But on second thought, Wang Duli seemed not in charge of supplies.

Being unaware of the diesel generator’s worth, perhaps it was to be expected.

However, the more Lu Zixun thought about it, the more he felt cheated, souring his mood.

"Lord Xun, the lower half of the wall has been completed."

Lu Zixun, resting in the cool shade of the tree, responded without raising his head upon hearing the report, "Good, you’ve worked hard. The job’s done, go back and rest."

After lying for a while, enjoying the idle tranquility of life, Lu Zixun got up, shook the leaves off his clothes, and stepped onto the Night Evil Sword, flying toward where the walls stood.

Gazing down at the steel walls, glinting in the sunset, a sense of pride swelled in Lu Zixun’s heart.

He felt the days of hard work had not been in vain.

Comfortably in high spirits, Lu Zixun took out his phone.

The robot avatar of Ling appeared at the top of the screen: "Lord Xun, good afternoon. Has everything been progressing smoothly?"

Leveraging Ling’s technology, Lu Zixun engaged in a conversation over the phone—a breach into the Star Network to create a completely secure independent network.

"Pretty good, take a look."

Turning on the phone’s camera, Lu Zixun controlled the device to capture an aerial view of the newly built wall.

"It seems the construction of the wall is complete. The efficiency of the Demon Clan far exceeds my expectations. It now appears that the Demon Clan’s progress toward a Level 1 Civilization should be accelerated significantly."

"Ling, with these steel walls, can we block a small Insect Tide from the Demon Clan?"

Lu Zixun’s eyes lit up with excitement as he quickly asked.

"I’m sorry, Lord Xun. Based on my understanding of small Insect Tides, your current wall cannot withstand even the first wave of the attack, let alone the combat strength of the High Martial Insect Clan."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun furrowed his brows; then building the wall was a futile effort.

But recalling Isela’s previously used Magic, Lu Zixun felt it was somewhat useful.

"You..."

Pausing, just as Lu Zixun was about to inquire about Forgotten Land.

Remembering Ling’s consecutive warnings, he pursed his lips and changed the topic, "Ling, now that the wall is built, next, we shall commence the full-scale development of the Demon Clan, starting with power supply."

"Directive received from the highest authority. Initiate nuclear power plant construction; commence the search for nuclear fuel across the entire Crimson Land."

"Brother Xun."

Lu Zixun, letting Ling commence the search, had just put away his phone when Lang Qian Yuan’s voice came from behind, surprising him.

Turning to face Lang Qian Yuan, Lu Zixun asked with a smile, "Why have you come here? Is there a problem at your station?"

Shaking his head, Lang Qian Yuan hesitated, then took a deep breath and said, "Lu Zixun, does my brother’s death have anything to do with you?"

Eyes narrowing, Lu Zixun looked at Lang Qian Yuan.

After a long while, he nodded slightly, "Yes, it involves me."
