Two Pan Trees successfully transformed into Sky-reaching Trees, but the Demon Star has burned out.

Only a small amount of ashes remained in the square Light Amber container.

Turing commented, "Chairman, the material composition of the Demon Star is complex, but it's confirmed to contain calcium, manganese, nitrogen, barium, and strontium. The violet light it emits is due to these elements releasing specific wavelengths of light when they burn."

"Its physical mass is extremely small, but it can burn for 43 days in the external environment before dissipating, which is a testament to Mr. White King's extraordinary technology."

Zhou Yi asked, "Will the disappearance of the Demon Star affect the Sky-reaching Trees?"

"The directed evolution of the Sky-reaching Trees is complete. Unless there is a severe energy shortage in the world or prolonged malnutrition, there's no risk of the Sky-reaching Trees reducing in size or reverting to a primitive state."

"Currently, the company supplies a large amount of Light Amber, and fertilization is sufficient, so there's no such problem."

Turing said, "The two Sky-reaching Trees will enter a stable growth phase henceforth."

Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good.

However, the Sky-reaching Trees will now grow normally, just like most plants, growing slower and slower over time.

Zhou Yi now understood.

The Sky-reaching Trees in the Mud Tree World could reach thousands of meters because of the frequent purple suns and the random flight of the Demon Star, akin to continuously injecting the trees with steroids, allowing them to grow to an astonishing size at an abnormal rate.

Zhou Yi looked at the two Sky-reaching Trees outside Yalong Bay.

They were lush and green, resembling enormous coral reefs magnified a thousand times, with green and red Dead Sea Fruits hanging from them, which were crucial strategic resources.

Beside him, Ni Ge said, "Chairman, the Qianji Fruits are growing well now, and we can harvest and consume them. They only grow to their largest and ripest form on Sky-reaching Trees."

Zhou Yi was initially very concerned about this matter.

Qianji Fruit and Transformation Fruit are two companion fruits; the former enhances one's capabilities in a short time, akin to super adrenaline, while the latter triggers special abilities in a person for a brief period, but the effect quickly fades away.

He originally valued the Transformation Fruit more because it could turn ordinary people into enhancers for a short time.

Studying these fruits might yield some special drugs.

But after Qing Liu appeared and successfully used genetic mutations to trigger Bei Ta's remote capture ability, it gave rise to the Strong Foundation Plan, which completely replaced the Transformation Fruit.

Currently, Zhou Yi's thoughts had changed.

It's better to follow the Mud Tree People's summarized experience.

Just eating the Qianji Fruit is enough.

It's also an enhancement for the enhancers.

Zhou Yi asked Ni Ge, "How many fruits can these two Sky-reaching Trees produce each year?"

"Although they are still in their juvenile phase, the Sky-reaching Trees have a huge fruit yield, far exceeding that of the Pan Trees."

Ni Ge mused for a moment, "I'm not from the Tree Department, but I know that even a juvenile Sky-reaching Tree can support 30 Mud Tree People. Based on our consumption and the accompanying plants... but I can't calculate the exact numbers, perhaps Ah Qing knows."

Tree Demon Ye Qing took over, "Chairman, I have recorded the growth of Tree No.1 over the last month, it produced 3,566 green fruits and 417 red fruits in this cycle. Tree No.2 is similar."

"The fruiting cycle remains two months, but the quality of these fruits is significantly higher than the initial white fruits."

"Currently, the annual fruit yield of the Sky-reaching Trees is estimated at 24,000 fruits."

"As they continue to grow, this number will further increase."

Zhou Yi asked, "What about the other six Pan Trees' annual yield?"

"The Pan Trees annually produce 9,000 fruits, so the total annual yield can reach 54,000 fruits."

Ye Qing was very familiar with these numbers.

Zhou Yi asked Yuan Xiao to call in the Minister of Agriculture, Zheng Tao.

"Old Zheng, the current yield of Dead Sea Fruits is ample. I want to include Dead Sea Fruits in the employee's regular nutrition meal plan to align with the gradually unfolding Strong Foundation Plan."

Zheng Tao thought for a moment, "Currently, the company has 4,152 formal employees. If each person gets one fruit per month, it should be feasible."

"Chairman, I suggest we focus on the children in schools."

"Their intake of Dead Sea Fruit should be more effective as they represent the future of the company and have greater potential."

Zhou Yi nodded, "I think so too."

...

Two days later, the projection wall in Building A displayed an official announcement.

On the screen, a girl-shaped Biting Cat stated, "We now interrupt with an important notification. All Wasteland Development Company employees, please listen carefully."

"The chairman has introduced a new benefit for everyone."

"All formal company employees will receive one Dead Sea Fruit each month as an employee benefit starting today."

"Regarding this Dead Sea Fruit, it is hoped that everyone will consume it to enhance their vitality. Our Strong Foundation Plan is being gradually implemented. Some employees have already been transformed into genetic mutation enhancers under the company's training, which requires the Dead Sea Fruit to strengthen their bodies."

"The company strictly prohibits the sale of these fruits outside. Any violation will result in immediate termination and permanent disqualification from reemployment."

"Additionally, Mushroom Forest Primary School will also provide Dead Sea Fruits as nutritional meals. Each student will receive one per month, which must be consumed at school to strengthen their bodies for better learning."

"This concludes the announcement. Thank you."

The news quickly spread.

The entire Jade City became abuzz with excitement.

The Dead Sea Fruit had long been renowned but was always sold externally as an exclusive premium food with no other outlets.

Now, it had become a benefit for every employee, making each one smile broadly and look forward to payday with great anticipation.

Another excited group was the students' parents.

Knowing that Mushroom Forest Primary School would provide Dead Sea Fruits as supplemental meals made them beam with pride when talking about their children.

Everyone happily clapped in front of the screens, celebrating the good news.

However, at this moment, Zhou Yi in Jade City was scratching his head.

The Canadian in the bottle disappeared while in a drunken sleep.

A new tiny person was still hatching and developing in the bottle.

The bottled tiny people were not progressing smoothly.

Next was the matter of the scripts.

He had reviewed the scripts in the enhanced controller.

There were two scripts.

The first was an integration of 200 episodes of the series script for "Samurai Crab Adventure."

This part was mainly created by Zhou Yi and was adapted from various famous legends and stories from the old human civilization, which had been read and selected over generations. The quality was undoubtedly high and, after localizing for the Wasteland, it became a usable script.

With the processing at the film factory, the tension and special effects on screen, as well as the visual experience, would be even stronger.

It would also be more advantageous for external distribution.

The second script was entirely original, titled "Chairman's Struggle."

The story, based on Zhou Yi, narrates the founding and rise of the Wasteland Development Company.

The main story itself wasn't problematic.

The issue was that the script depicted Zhou Yi as a One Punch Man, solving every problem with a single punch, crushing the Dead Sea Fleet with a punch, flattening a city with a punch, crushing a dragon with one hand, and even taking on Warlord and Black Emperor in a one-man fight... elevating him to an omnipotent berserk character.

Zhou Yi found himself with an expression like an elderly man on the subway.

"This is too unrealistic... no need to exaggerate like this."

Qian Su explained, "Chairman, the audience just loves this type. The chairman portrayed here is not the real you. But in the external rumors, you are seen this way, solving problems with a single action..."

"Change it."

Zhou Yi immediately rejected it.

Qian Su, reluctantly, presented the backup plan: "Then see if you like this one."

Zhou Yi glanced at it.

The backup script was titled "Our Life."

It featured an episodic format, with a main character from each department of the Wasteland Development Company, living together and discussing work and life.

It resembled a workplace version of Friends.

Zhou Yi nodded at once, "This will do! This is good."

Qian Su couldn't help but smile, "I figured you might end up choosing this one. You don't like being overly flashy, but you are already one of the top people in this world."

Zhou Yi shook his head, "Not at all."

"You are definitely one of the world's most powerful figures!"

"I'm saying, being overly flashy – hasn't our company already been that way?"

Zhou Yi said, "When the company was first established, we naturally had to adapt and complete the initial accumulation, but now we are creating our own situations. There's probably no more prominent group in the world than us."

"Then why don't you like that script?" Qian Su was puzzled.

"Because it's not a good way to promote."

Zhou Yi explained, "The strength of the company doesn't rely on stepping on other groups to show off. Instead, other groups willingly follow our footsteps. Real strength is not about defeating opponents but about subduing and uniting them, earning their respect."

Qian Su paused, "You are right."

Both films were sent to Snow County and processed by the film factory over two months. As a family-friendly show, the first 10 episodes of "Samurai Crab Adventure" were produced.

Qian Su played them on the projection walls in various regions every afternoon during dinnertime, updating one episode daily, covering over 300 regions.

It was very simple to watch, needing just a projection wall.

In less than a month, "Samurai Crab Adventure" became widely known, and Samurai Crab became a popular character.

Half a month later.

The first season of "Our Life" with 5 episodes was also released, airing after "Samurai Crab Adventure."

Two months later.

The company's self-produced large-scale wasteland drama "Club Girls" premiered, starring Xiao Tao, with Xiao Xing and A Mian as co-stars. The drama roughly depicted the challenging journey from joining a club to becoming a top idol in the plant domain.

It was the first time the high-end entertainment scene of Flower Town was recreated on screen, showing the splendor and harsh scenery of the super metropolis to those who had only heard of it.

"Club Girls" had only 4 episodes and was a pilot, but due to its high demand and discussion, alongside its explosive viewership on Wasteland Information, it was successively introduced in various cities, with a second season already on order.

This winter became the season of the Wasteland Development Company's external film strategy.
