Chapter 342: Chapter 226 Heading to the Wencheen Family
There were many similar issues, such as problems with lighting at night, activity range, entertainment facilities, and so on.
Human life is not just about satisfying a basic need.
The five of them could accept all this, and a large part of the reason, of course, was due to the high wages.
After all, if Zhang Xiaoman was giving them so much money each month, and they could come here to live comfortably, then the money was too easy to earn.
"Thanks to Lord Star Lord’s support, Xiao Fei has been captivated by this place since he last experienced your strength, and now that there’s an opportunity, he would not let go of it for anything," said Ye Cang as he turned to look at Ye Fei, who hurried forward to bow with hands clasped in front of him as his great-grandfather had once done:
"Thank you, Lord Star Lord, for making this possible. I will definitely work hard in the future and will not slack in the slightest."
Looking at the other’s single-handed salute, Zhang Xiaoman nodded slightly. Since Ye Cang said he could endure this hardship, naturally, he had no objections.
After all, it was necessary to find someone, and having an acquaintance come over saved even more trouble.
Below Inheritance Land, there were many idle tents, all prepared in advance.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the currently more than a dozen members of Star Alliance were to live together, it would not be a problem at all.
Under the guidance of Yang Yangyang and others, Ye Fei went to choose a residence, while Zhang Xiaoman had another brief conversation with Ye Cang and then left Rebirth Island with Lin Sisi, teleporting to Wencheen Manor in England, which is also the first branch of the Star Alliance.
Inside Wencheen Manor, the two brothers were visibly excited upon seeing Zhang Xiaoman’s arrival. Since his last departure from here, he had only returned once halfway, making the brothers miss him dearly.
"These flowers seem to have grown quite a bit; they look great. How did you cultivate them? Roughly, how many finished products can be taken out now?"
What Zhang Xiaoman cared about most, of course, were the matters concerning the Touching Spirit Flower; in fact, the two divisional bases were important to him only concerning resources.
Now that Star Alliance was still small and the invasion of Alien Species had not reached the extent that required a full-scale deployment of forces, the biggest use of the bases was to help him increase transcendent resources.
"Lord Star Lord, the mature Touching Spirit Flowers are all in this field. I consulted a friend who helped research the soil, and she said the soil contains very special components, including a few types of isotopes that have never been discovered on Water Blue Star thus far," Dane pointed to a field of flowers in front of the group.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him, "Who is this friend of yours? Can she be trusted?"
Sam quickly replied, "Lord Star Lord, you can rest assured; Tina is his girlfriend, and they’ve been dating for several years now. If it wasn’t for this guy always busy investigating his father’s death, they might have married already."
"Cough cough... Tina and I have a great relationship, though we see each other less often, I know her very well and can absolutely trust her," Dane added, his face showing some guilt, perhaps influenced by Sam’s earlier comment.
"By the way, Tina works at a local research institute, and she just happened to be working on a project related to biological genetics, so I asked her for help," he explained.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded upon hearing their words, and indeed, he was very interested in the Tina they mentioned—though certainly not in that way.
He was in need of research talent like hers at the moment. Currently, the only issue was that his funds were not sufficient. If money became ample later on, he planned to establish several research institutes to reverse engineer some high-tech inventions and attempt to create them without purchasing through the System Store.
However, such a plan was quite challenging to realize. High-tech inventions were labelled as such because they could not be completed with existing human technology. Even if you understood the principles behind them, it was useless because you could not manufacture them.
Forget the anti-gravity car, let’s just take the more compact wristwatch as an example. Even if Zhang Xiaoman invested a large sum of money and eventually reverse-engineered its technical principles, could it definitely be manufactured? Clearly, that was impossible.
It’s like someone taking a smartphone to ancient times; even if he knew how to make one, could he manage to construct it then?
The answer is obviously no.
For any complete product, especially such high-tech products, a series of indispensable accessories is required.
Knowing how to make a smartphone is useless because you simply cannot manufacture the components necessary for its production.
And if you want to thoroughly understand these components as well, that truly isn’t something that can be achieved overnight.
That’s also why Zhang Xiaoman had not pursued a startup path using high-tech innovations—it was too unrealistic. Such methods are fine for novels and web series but should be dismissed in real life.
Unless he could directly obtain a database from an advanced civilization, there might be some possibility to accomplish his goals. Otherwise, it really was like talking about a fantasy.
The evolution and progression of civilization are never instantaneous. A low-level civilization, even if it acquired something from an advanced civilization, could not replicate it directly in a short period.
The best scenario at the moment was to hope to establish a research institute dedicated solely to decrypting a particular technology, to see whether any useful results could be obtained and applied.
After understanding everything related to the Touching Spirit Flower, Zhang Xiaoman shared his purpose for this visit with the Wencheen brothers—it was to concoct an inspiration potion.
He had already brought a set of auxiliary materials and also mastered the corresponding Dark Energy Formula. Now, he just needed to carry out the final practical concoction.
On the side, the Wencheen brothers became unavoidably curious when they learned that Lord Star Lord was about to perform the legendary "alchemy" and hastily prepared a space following his instructions.
Zhang Xiaoman looked around somewhat helplessly, not sure whether these guys were being too childish or if it was their traditional thinking at work.
Why, upon mentioning the three words "alchemy," did it have to take place in such a basement? Wasn’t the vast space outside good enough?
However, he didn’t say much. Since they had already gone through the trouble of setting it up for him, he shouldn’t be too demanding. As long as it was usable, it was fine.
Next, he prepared the materials needed for the concoction, then poured them into a crucible. He also placed a heap of Touching Spirit Flowers into a medicine spoon and began grinding them.
"These flowers really are not durable. Such a large bunch just barely managed to produce this bit of juice, exactly 30 milliliters—it seems the yield is even less than I anticipated."
He vigorously squeezed out the last bit of juice and added it into the pot. Carefully, he then extracted the poison from the Black Mamba Snake, adding three drops of the liquid, and afterward carefully introduced the corresponding Dark Energy Formula, observing the changes inside meticulously.
