Chapter 575

Richard ordered the sacred-blood dwarves to return to the underground world after the situation stabilized. These creatures with unlimited potential began to go to various strange places to search for special magical plants and food unique to the underground world.

It would provide help for the development of the food workshop.

At the same time, the research and development of alchemy in Fortress City had also changed its direction.

Level 12 alchemist Brown had already become the controller of Furnace City… Of course, it was a controller who obeyed Richard’s orders.

!!
Fortress City began to connect with Bloodhoof City under Richard’s will and carried out his plan to use alchemy for production.

The first research and development target was alchemy to speed up mining and forging weapons.

The progress in this area was smooth with the vast accumulation of technology from the gray-colored dwarves. It wouldn’t take a month to produce results.

In addition, the development of desert transportation in Fortress continued.

After Richard sent a few sandworms underground, he had a research subject. He launched the second round of improvement of the mechanical boat.

He didn’t need to wait for the sandworms to mature. And it would create an improved version of the boat.

At that time, it would fundamentally change the situation of Twilight City. The harsh terrain of the desert would limit services, and communication with the outside world would be arduous.

That was more comfortable than using the combative soldiers, the stone statues of the dead, and the skeletal blood dragons to transport supplies.

Moreover, once it formed the transportation system, then the opportunity to start a logistics caravan in the desert of death that Vale suggested would be possible.

Whether or not to do it was set aside. At least there was room for change.

It steadily developed the underground world.

Twilight City was not idle either.

The first was the developed Black Sorbet ice cream. This thing was simply a killing weapon in the hot desert.

As for the frost grass that produced the Black Sorbet ice cream, one could find it in places with enough water sources in the underground world. There was no need to worry about it.

Richard decisively ordered the production of the Black Sorbet to go all out. He purchased two new food workshop blueprints, rebuilt two, and upgraded three food workshops to special-level buildings.

One was dedicated to research and development, while he intended the other two to the Black Sorbet ice cream production.

To ensure the supply of raw materials, Richard had Bloodhoof City send out five squadrons of soldiers to collect frost grass. At the same time, they began to investigate and research, prepared to establish a remarkable frost grass planting base to ensure the production of Black Sorbet.

The production of Black Sorbet skyrocketed after the two new food workshops.

Each food workshop could accommodate 200 people and could produce up to 100,000 units per day. Two workshops would be 200,000 units.

Vale had already sent back news from Solan City. After many investigations by the gray-colored dwarves, the most reasonable price for the Black Sorbet was 20 units of ordinary resources.

The two food workshops could produce four million ordinary resources each day.

He could obtain 8000 units of rare resources every day according to the exchange rate on the forum.

The production cost was only 400 workers, and one could quickly find frost grass everywhere in the underworld. The profit was considerable, although one could not say it is pure profit.

The resources contributed were no less than the Desert Crown Honey.

The Desert Crown Honey was remarkably a rare resource treasure. Luck could make one find this.

Twilight City created the Black Sorbet. As long as the frost grass could keep up, the production could continue to be exaggerated.

Because the Black Sorbet contained magic power and the remarkable food workshop could extend the shelf life of food by 50%, the shelf life of the Black Sorbet was two months after production.

That gave Richard tons of leeway.

He planned to accumulate a batch of goods before they reached Solan City. He wanted them to become the main product of the Violet Merchant Association Chamber of Commerce and open up the market.

Richard had already informed Vale to get ready.

Other than the Black Sorbet ice cream, the other Whitetail wine he valued the most was also on the agenda for production expansion.

Currently, the monthly output of 5000 units dissatisfied him.

However, the Whitetail wine was different from the Black Sorbet. That was a 4-stars wine, and its price was as high as 60 units of rare resources.

The brewing process was complicated. Only the white-tailed cat race could brew it.

Richard initially sent some apprentices there to learn this wine-making technique.

But in the end, they couldn’t do it at all. The white-tailed cat race alone had a strong sense of smell for wine and could smell the degree of alcohol fermentation.

When it reached that limit, it was necessary to add wine-making materials.

As a result, the white-tailed cats relied solely on their abilities to brew. Ordinary people did not have such an inspirational nose, so they could not learn it.

Richard could only express his regret.

However, he was more concerned about the white-tailed cats.

That race was born to brew wine. Richard could not let it go to waste like this.

Richard built two new wineries and upgraded three to special-level. Just like the food workshop.

He handed one of them over white-tailed cat race for brewing production.

They used the other two to develop new wines. The white-tailed cats managed the other, and humans managed the other. They depended on each other and shared their technology.

He could immediately turn one of them into a production line if there were results.

Richard had planned to have the sacred-blood dwarves go to the underworld to find top-notch wine to expand his product line.

However, he did not expect straightforward rejection… Brewing wine was a matter that consumed a lot of food.

No soil produced good wine in the underground world where food was scarce.

Even the two overlords, the gray-colored dwarves, and the Bloodhoof City could only brew low-grade liquor.

Richard could only give up and hand the heavy responsibility over to the white-tailed cats.

He searched for wine recipes on the forum but found only a few. Nothing had caught his eye.

Those wine recipes belonged to the ordinary type and were not competitive in the market.

He learned from the forum that many players wanted to replicate some of the top wines on Planet Blue, but they failed in the end.

Due to the difference between crops and world rules, the final taste wouldn’t be the same or even very different, even if they used the same process.

That changed his views, and he even valued alchemy more. That was the “science ” that suited this world.

Apart from these two more important matters, another matter caused a sensation in Twilight City, and Richard had achieved his long-awaited goal of 95 popular support points.

The cohesiveness of Twilight City had reached an unprecedented height.

On November 16th, Richard fulfilled his promise and hosted the grandest wedding in the history of Twilight City for Sam, a blacksmith with only one arm.

The blind Shanna, the pitied girl in the past, became the object of envy.

A pure white wedding dress covered her face on the path covered with flowers.

A child led the bride. Everyone watched them at Twilight City, and Richard witnessed.

She became Sam’s wife.

Romance and happiness filled the process. Flowers and children’s songs calmed the residents’ bad moods.

The last scene of the wedding was especially unforgettable.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, and the ice elf statue before the Lord’s mansion.

Surrounded by countless adorable snow elves, Sam and Shana solemnly swore to Richard.

Finally, Richard solemnly announced to everyone that they were husband and wife.

This scene had a special meaning in the solemn ceremony.

Countless young men and women had the same thought in their hearts. If they could get married in this life with Lord Richard as a witness, how perfect would that be?

Richard announced on the spot while everyone was excited that from now on, November 16th would be Valentine’s Day in Twilight City.

Every year on this day, he would personally witness weddings.

This news immediately caused a sensation in the city, and the mood climaxed.

Amidst the shouts and screams, Richard heard a familiar system prompt.
