“I wasn’t as afraid in that swamp when I was fighting for my life as I was today,” he whispered into her ear. “I didn’t know how I’d live if you rejected me.”

“Fortunately, the goddess watched over us,” said Sam. “Lord Su Wan saved us, and you saved me. Now, I have a job too! I can finally take care of you and repay your kindness, though I’m not sure if I can ever repay you completely.”

From the day he had arrived in the territory, this was what he had wanted. His wish had finally been fulfilled.

Nana was very emotional at that moment. Her heart was filled with joy and her eyes cried happy tears. She hugged him tighter. “Sam… you have to work hard and repay the Lord.”

Regarding Mestre’s proposal of establishing another area in the swamp, Su Wan and Xu Yuan thought about it very seriously.

The plan couldn’t be carried out at the moment. The territory was not ready to be exposed to outsiders.

Without sufficient strength and stability, the plan couldn’t turn into a disaster. Maybe in the future, the idea would be more feasible.

Now that the territory had the power to travel freely in the swamp, digging deeper would definitely bring them a lot of benefits.

Originally, the Death Swamp was impassable. However, due to the appearance of the Lords, most parts of the swamp had been cleared away.

Still, the swamp posed many hurdles. The transportation of wares cost a 30% processing fee because of the difficulty of crossing the swamp.

“We’ll try that plan in the future,” said Su Wan.

Timo nodded. Although the plan was great, it would take time to implement it.

“The food workshop has recently used a magical plant from the underground world to develop a special recipe. It helps cool the body. The recipe had quite the potential,” said Timo.

The food workshop had been the most difficult department to kick-start production. The number of resources that had gone into setting it up was beyond anyone’s imagination. There was finally some good news!

However, Su Wan decided to take a look first before launching the product. The food workshop hadn’t performed very well in the past few months.

“Get someone to bring it over. I want to check,” said Su Wan.

Timo led a nervous young man into the main hall. The man held three porcelain bowls on a tray.

The substance in the bowls looked dark and jelly-like.

“This is the… “Ice cream” developed by the food workshop,” said Timo. He was nervous too.

“Bring it over.” Su Wan glanced at Xu Yuan, but he looked as indifferent as ever.

Su Wan was somewhat reluctant to try it, but she had to check.

The young man stepped forward with the tray. He looked nervous and excited.

Su Wan didn’t rush to taste it. She opened the interface to check the dish.

[Ice Cream]

[Characteristic: Helps to recover 20% of Stamina within 10 minutes after consumption.]

[Note: Magical food made from special plants.]

Su Wan looked at it. The ice cream was no different from black jelly. She scooped it and sniffed it first. The smell wasn’t unusual or strange.

Su Wan slowly put the spoonful of ice cream in her mouth.

Timo and the young man were worried. They felt that Su Wan might yell and punish them if she didn’t like the dish.

Cool sweetness melted on her tongue. The taste, combined with the cooling effect, was wonderful! The coolness swept through her entire body. The dish would come in handy in the hot weather.

Su Wan put down the porcelain bowl and looked at the two people who were watching her nervously.

“Lord Su Wan, what do you think?” asked Timo. He gathered his courage to ask her because he saw that she liked it.

“This is good! The food workshop definitely doesn’t disappoint. This dish has potential.” Su Wan patted the young man on the back. “Well done!”

Su Wan knew that this dish would be coveted by many territories far and wide. It not only relieved the heat but also restored stamina by 20%!

The young man was red in the face after Su Wan praised him.

Timo smiled. “Should we increase the production of the ice cream, then?”

“Yes! Please do so. How much is the production cost for one bowl of ice cream?” asked Su Wan.

“Lord Su Wan, this is Bi Qi. He is in charge of research and development of the products in the food workshop,” said Timo. “Bi Qi, if you could kindly answer the Lord?”

Bi Qi nodded. “It’s an honor, My Lord. The main ingredient used for this dish is the Flowing Light Grass that was obtained from the underground world.”

Bi Qi saw Xu Yuan and Su Wan nod at that. He calmed himself and continued with his report.

“That plant has many unique characteristics. It looks ordinary, but it has ice magic in it. Anything freezes if it is left in contact with the grass for a long time. We found out that we could preserve its ice magic if we handled it properly. With the Light Flowing Grass and other ordinary plants, we made it into this dish after grinding, filtering, steaming, and then cooling it again. The Light Flowing Grass is the main ingredient, and the dish cannot be created without it.”

Su Wan nodded. She knew what to do next. It seemed that the underground world’s abundance wasn’t limited to just resources..
