Chapter 1661: Chapter 558: Incredibly Valuable Crystals, Strange Crystal People!

"Don’t worry, now that you’ve come to my territory, from now on you are part of my territory."

"No one can take you away."

The Crystal People glanced at each other and believed that with this Lord’s strength, the Giant Commerce could not set its sights on this territory.

They responded, "Yes, respected Lord."

Cao Xing first issued them a recruitment invitation.

[Recruitment successful! Crystal People: San Yeshi/Phosphate Stone/Flint... have joined your territory, territory population +134...]

...

After completing recruitment, the next step was to arrange housing for these Crystal People, and incidentally test their so-called ability to produce crystals.

"Follow me."

With those words, he started walking toward the territory.

Behind him, a group of glittering Crystal People followed, their steps creating a crisp sound, they were like a peculiar scenery, attracting many onlookers.

After crossing the gates and returning to the territory, Cao Xing glanced at the remaining Crystal Stone resources in the territory.

[Frost White Crystal Stone] *9624

There were still close to ten thousand left; it might not seem like much, but it was indeed an astonishing amount.

After all, even repairing the Legendary Weapon Magdala only required ten thousand White Crystal Stones.

And an entire large vein had only produced around one hundred thousand units of White Crystal Stone for Cao Xing.

This illustrates just how precious these crystals are.

He first took a piece of White Crystal Stone from his backpack, turned around, and asked.

"Can you eat these crystal stones?"

On the scene, the pupils of the Crystal People suddenly emitted curious light, and you could feel their inner yearning.

The Crystal Person named San Yeshi said, "Yes, respected Lord."

"We haven’t eaten crystal stones for many days; the clansmen are starving..."

Cao Xing glanced at their status panel, noticing that every Crystal Person’s satiety had indeed dropped below 60, with many dropping below 50, showing negative status.

With thoughtful expression, he then asked, "Do you need to eat crystal stones every day?"

The elite named San Yeshi replied again, "Lord, we don’t need to eat every day; occasionally eating some ordinary stones is fine..."

"But, these ordinary stones can only be used for temporary sustenance."

"Long-term consumption will not only damage our body’s structure, but eventually, our bodies will turn into ordinary stones and we will no longer be able to produce crystals..."

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

Then he waved his hand, directly taking out over six hundred Frost White Crystal Stones, and said, "Eat, feast first."

Seeing so many White Crystal Stones, dazzling glint broke out in those crystal pupils of the Crystal People!

Clearly, these crystals were exceedingly enticing delicacies to them.

Especially since Orkan had fed them ordinary stones on the way to save costs, only occasionally letting them eat crystal stones, which made them long even more in their hearts!

These Crystal People thanked in unison.

"Thank you, Lord."

Then they each took a few Frost White Crystal Stones and started gnawing.

Cao Xing watched their actions.

Intrigued, he wondered how these Crystal People consumed stones and how they produced crystals?

Under Cao Xing’s gaze, these Crystal People seemed a bit embarrassed.

Covering their mouths one after another, they put the crystal stones in.

Then revealed a mouth full of teeth.

Each tooth appeared very sharp, as if constructed purely from diamonds, and with a slight nibble, they crushed the White Crystal Stones.

Immediate "crack~crack~" sounds filled the air.

Making Cao Xing’s own teeth feel somewhat sour, he internally sighed, "Goodness, these Crystal People have such great bite strength!"

Meanwhile, a series of system prompts appeared.

[Your territory member: San Yeshi consumed Frost White Crystal Stone *1, satiety +10...]

[Your territory member: Red Stone consumed Frost White Crystal Stone *1, satiety +10...]

[Your...]

...

Seeing the system prompts, Cao Xing chuckled.

"Eating stones really increases satiety, and quite a bit too it seems."

Soon, these Crystal People munched through the six Frost White Crystal Stones granted by Cao Xing.

Their satiety levels also rose above ninety, with many reaching a full satiety of one hundred.

They then patted their bellies, with slightly embarrassed smiles saying, "We are full, thank you for the hospitality, Lord."

A string of loyalty increase system prompts appeared.

Each Crystal Person’s loyalty increased by around five or six points.

Cao Xing nodded slightly, calculating in his heart.

It seems, a Crystal Person only needs to consume three White Crystal Stones a day to be satiated.

There are 112 individuals here, meaning at most 336 stones consumed per day.

Which means the quantity of crystal stones in his backpack could sustain them for about a month.

If mixed with ordinary stones for feeding, it could last several months.

And within such duration, he would be able to locate new veins.

Cao Xing felt assured, his eyes still curious.

Because, he merely saw these Crystal People swallow the stones, yet didn’t know how they digested them.

Moreover, how do they excrete the crystals?

A moment later, a Crystal Person roughly 1.2 meters tall named Little Hu Shi suddenly clutched her belly.

Then said to the other Crystal People with muffled voice, "I... I want to *%￥..."
