Everything is as usual on the company's side.

Recently, the Outer Sea Affairs Department has recruited quite a few employees and officially started operations.

Two months ago, Liang Zi completed all her training and went to the Outer Sea to begin work.

During her stay in Jade City, besides catching up on a lot of knowledge, Zhou Yi also gradually involved her in the affairs of various departments.

This allowed her to first understand the company's various industries and future development directions, providing a point of entry from the Outer Sea.

Liang Zi reported back, saying, "Chairman, the Outer Sea Affairs Department currently has 8 official employees, all of whom are Angels of Death."

"I have limited understanding of others; although the Angels of Death have peculiar habits, they can live long-term in the Outer Sea, each having their own skills."

"I have collaborated with these few individuals before."

"Among them, 6 are pure Hunters, making a living by hunting atmosphere creatures in the Outer Sea."

Zhou Yi was surprised, "Angels of Death can handle atmosphere creatures?"

"One-on-one, they can't win."

Speaking of the main business, Liang Zi had a solemn expression, sitting upright, "They need to team up in groups. Living as a lone wolf in the Inner Sea is fine, but it doesn't work in the Outer Sea where atmosphere creatures run rampant. Without thorough preparation, encountering them could be fatal."

"These 6 Hunters are divided into two teams. They mainly use ambush and surprise attack tactics, targeting solitary atmosphere creatures. They primarily select weakened targets, which could be juvenile atmosphere creatures or severely wounded adults."

"Even the strong, experienced Hunters have a success rate of less than 10%. Because of the unique structure of atmosphere creatures, they easily escape in atmospheric form and have become very clever. Whether it's killing or capturing them, it's a fierce battle."

Zhou Yi became interested, "How profitable is hunting atmosphere creatures?"

"It's fair, to say the least."

Liang Zi explained, "The best outcome is to capture a live atmosphere creature, which many groups will purchase because of their unique structure and nature, making them desirable for research or even domestication. Even as experimental samples, they are highly valuable."

"If an atmosphere creature is killed, one will only obtain a large number of Light Seeds and some remains. The remains are valuable and are essentially what the company uses as Stone Shedding."

Zhou Yi was puzzled, "Atmosphere creatures leave behind Stone Shedding upon death?"

"Yes, Chairman, but few people know."

"Killing one atmosphere creature can yield between 10,000 to 100,000 Light Seeds. Stone Shedding disperses as dust, but experienced Angel of Death Hunters know the trick; just one Light Seed can gather and form these dust into Stone Shedding, which can then be sold for money according to size."

Liang Zi said, "This is also a unique way for Hunters to make money."

"Before the Freedom Army started selling Stone Shedding, Angels of Death were already doing so, but they called it atmosphere creature bones. The main buyers were the Mechanical Knights, Mirror City, and Yi City, using these bones to research and manufacture flying devices in the Outer Sea, or to enhance the flight capabilities of the Guangna Species."

Zhou Yi stroked his chin.

Indeed, every field has its ways of generating revenue.

He asked, "Aren't these 6 Hunters hunting anymore? What are they doing now?"

"They're still hunting, that's the job and position I assigned them."

Liang Zi continued, "Chairman, they are best at hunting, possessing extensive experience in hunting atmosphere creatures. These are their most valuable talents."

"So, I made them company Hunters. They keep the Light Seeds obtained from hunting, and the company will buy all the Stone Shedding at a standard price."

"In the Outer Sea, atmosphere creatures are extremely dangerous monsters. Even if one tries to avoid them, they will actively attack. Each of the gathering grounds, like Cloud Mountain, are always subject to periodic sieges by atmosphere creatures."

"With the backing of the company, company Hunters enjoy free medical care and have top doctors like Cang Hai Jun and Sun Hao, who can treat our most troublesome issue of consciousness damage, making it very attractive for everyone."

She spoke in detail, "Education for their children is also a weak point for the Angels of Death. The company's Mushroom Forest Primary School has professional teachers like Nian Gao, and there is also accomplished Sun Hao, proving their strength."

"Additionally, the company has several Light Core Bodies, which can support everyone and ensure that Angels of Death are not bullied by other external organizations and do not become hunted targets."

"The company's reputation now surpasses the Heavenly Kingdom, with the benefits recognized as the best."

Zhou Yi nodded in agreement.

Adapting to circumstances works well, providing a company framework and letting them continue doing what they're good at.

Currently, the expansion beyond the earth and sustainable energy also require a large amount of Stone Shedding to build reactors.

He further asked, "And the other two are Healers?"

"They're also Hunters; Healers are very rare and get recruited by various parties as soon as they appear."

Liang Zi said, "These two Hunters transitioned to buyers early on, specializing in hunting-related trade. I used to do this. They travel to each Cloud Mountain to examine market demand and look for buyers."

Zhou Yi acknowledged with a hum.

"Chairman, I want to purchase all the Stone Shedding in the hands of the Angels of Death in the Outer Sea."

She explained, "This way, they can sell directly to the company in the future, becoming stable suppliers, providing us with more steady supply sources."

"However, the Angels of Death have been hesitant because there were limited buyers before; the Mechanical Knights, Mirror City, and Yi City drove prices down to 9 Light Seeds per block. They've been hoarding a lot of Stone Shedding, not wanting to sell at increasingly lower prices, and now they are under inventory pressure."

"Based on my investigation and negotiations, currently available for purchase is about 1.9 million Light Seeds worth of Stone Shedding. However, they need a one-time price of 10 Light Seeds per block for the whole lot."

Zhou Yi could hardly contain his excitement, "You mean there are 1.9 million blocks of Stone Shedding?"

"Yes. The remains of atmosphere creatures result in a tremendous amount of Stone Shedding, with one body yielding tens of thousands of blocks."

Liang Zi resolutely said, "Chairman, I want to apply to buy this batch. Not only can it supplement the company's needed resources, but also convince the Hunters of our long-term commitment to purchasing in this field."

"No problem."

Zhou Yi immediately provided the funds.

"Thank you, Chairman! I'll have this batch of Stone Shedding transported back within three days at the latest!"

Liang Zi happily left.

In fact, the next day this large batch of Stone Shedding was delivered from the Outer Sea to outside Jade City, entering the warehouse as promised and in full count.

This important influx of energy immediately provided a huge boost to all the company departments.

...

This year's summer arrived very quickly.

After two rainfalls, the weather suddenly warmed up.

The sun became dazzling, heat waves started rolling over the ground, and the people of Sand Port gradually switched to light short-sleeved shirts, donned hats, and sipped on the company's latest drink.

On a scorching afternoon, Zhou Yi was napping when a rare visitor knocked on the door of 3101.

——Knock knock knock, knock knock knock.

"Chairman, the consciousness nerve is ready!"

"A bumper crop of radish tendons, a bumper crop!"

The radish monster Luo Bo waved its tendrils happily.

Zhou Yi immediately felt wide awake: "Are there enough radish tendons?"

"Enough, enough!"

"In total, we've harvested 290,000 radish tendons! You can use them anytime!"

Zhou Yi felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

His consciousness strength was already sufficient, and now he just needed these elements. After supplementing this part, he could officially advance to the Light Core Body.

He suddenly remembered something: "But I remember telling you to get me when you reached 29,000 radish tendons. Why did you only come after getting ten times that amount?"

"Well..."

Luo Bo waved its tendrils again: "I miscalculated. You know, I'm not good with numbers, I miscounted by a zero. But more is always better than less!"

"..."

Zhou Yi wanted to scold it a bit, but this radish monster was something that grew out of the ground, an illiterate being that only knew how to grow radishes.

He ultimately just pinched his brow: "Forget it, make sure a professional does the counting in the future. Don't do it yourself."

"Yes! You're right! Counting is so painful; I have to count each one individually every time!"

"I'm exhausted from counting every day!"

The radish monster agreed wholeheartedly.

Zhou Yi thought no wonder they said it would take five months to grow, and it's been a year.

It seemed like in reality, the monster radishes were growing well.

"Let's go, take a look."

Luo Bo led the way to a large warehouse outside, which turned out to be the earliest iron container. Later, as the office area expanded, it was used specifically for storing radish tendons.

Inside the iron shed, the dried radish tendons were neatly arranged in rows.

Zhou Yi reached out and grabbed a handful, instantly absorbing them.

About half an hour later.

He had absorbed more than half.

Zhou Yi had a thought.

[Channel 6] is activated!

The world in his eyes turned into ripples. Waves of ripples spread everywhere, with different sources, most commonly from the Inner Sea and Outer Sea.

These ripples resembled the scene he saw using the damaged Sun Eye before, but he couldn't see too far or enter a cosmic perspective.

Zhou Yi felt a peculiar change occurring in the Memory Core inside him.

It slowly deformed.

Gradually turning into a regular tetrahedron.

Finally, the Light Core Body.

Inside Zhou Yi, there was now his own Light Core.

He suddenly found out.

Viewing those worldwide ripples through the Light Core Body, he could read some informational text fragments. However, he needed to further decode them to see more related content.

It seemed to be the effect of his phone's elemental ability.

By principle, the characteristic of the Light Core Body is converting elemental matter into energy; the more elemental accumulation, the higher the intensity.

Zhou Yi tried and found that converting a consciousness nerve into energy could change certain external ripples.

For example, the most frequent ripples nearby were people's complaints.

"It's so hot."

"So hot..."

Zhou Yi altered them slightly.

The result turned into.

"So cold, so cold..."

The people who generated this consciousness felt nothing unusual, even started putting on more clothes, rubbing their hands, and breathing on them. But soon they returned to normal and appeared confused.

"Why am I wearing so thick? Did the heat muddle my brain?"

"They always say extremes meet, maybe it's so hot that I feel cold instead..."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up.

This was equivalent to temporarily twisting and altering the opponent's consciousness, even influencing behavior on the material side through the Consciousness Domain.

The new ability is quite impressive!
