“Bring me a few more bowls!” said Xu Yuan.

Bi Qi nodded excitedly. “Of course, Your Majesty!”

Su Wan was very dissatisfied with Xu Yuan. Was he trying to finish the ice cream before they could do any kind of mass production?

“Call Jax,” said Su Wan. “I need him to get more Light Flowing Grass.”

Soon, Jax arrived in the main hall.

“Jax, do you recognize this magical plant?” asked Su Wan. She handed him the Light Flowing Grass. “It seems that it has great use in making certain kinds of dishes.”

Jax nodded.

“Is this plant rare in the underground world?” asked Su Wan.

“Ah… it’s not really rare, but it doesn’t grow everywhere either. As long as there is a little bit of water, you can always find this plant nearby. Why do you ask, My Lord? Are you in need of Light Flowing Grass?’

“Here,” said Su Wan as she handed him the bowl of ice cream. “Try this. This is the latest product developed by the food workshop.”

The old dwarf looked at the black, jelly-like substance. He hesitated for a while and then cautiously scooped a little and tasted it.

The ice cream melted on his tongue, and he shivered. Jax looked happy.

“This is great!” He tasted another spoonful and didn’t seem to be able to stop until he scraped the bowl empty. “I can’t seem to stop eating it!”

Jax looked at Su Wan in surprise. “What kind of dish is this, My Lord?”

The feeling of coolness in a scorching environment was priceless.

“I didn’t know such a simple, inconspicuous plant could be used to make such a delicacy!” said Jax.

“Jax, I want all the dwarves to join the food workshop temporarily. Their job would be to search for magical plants in the underground world and bring them to the food workshops so that the researchers can develop them into new dishes.”

Their bloodline hadn’t been activated yet because Su Wan didn’t have the resources to spend on that. However, the gray dwarves were native to the underground world, so they were definitely knowledgeable when it came to the flora and fauna of the underground world even if they didn’t have an active Inheritance Knowledge ability right now.

Jax nodded.

Su Wan turned to Bi Qi. “You did well this time. The ice cream is a great innovation. Keep up the good work! I’ll leave the research and development of other dishes to you.”

Bi Qi was a rare B-class hero. He invented recipes using different ingredients to create dishes with special effects and flavors.

Many plants had unique characteristics that could be incorporated into a dish.

Su Wan wondered if there was a plant in this world that gave off heat. It might be possible. The Light Flowing Grass had ice magic. Maybe there was another plant that had an opposite effect!

The old dwarf understood what Su Wan was thinking.

“Leave it to me, My Lord,” said Jax. “I and the other dwarves will do our best to find special plants for you.”

Jax liked the territory. Although he hadn’t been here that long, he still felt a sense of safety and tranquility when he was here.

In the dark and disorderly underground world, the strong preyed on the weak. The creatures fought to the death for a scrap of food. They could even kill each other.

However, in this territory, everyone was provided for. Jax really liked living in this territory, and he hoped he could help the gray dwarves integrate into this place and find a new purpose in their lives.

Just as Su Wan was about to respond, she got a notification on her device.

The message was from the Hyena from Canglan City.

[The Hyena: Lord Su Wan, are you still in Canglan City? Numerous Abyssal Demons suddenly appeared in the collapsed ruins in the southern area. We are preparing to team up to go and take a look. Do you want to join us?l

Su Wan checked the location he sent. It was the place where the Dark Demonic Tree was located!

There had been too many things on her mind, and she had completely forgotten about that! Eliza had left too.

[Su Wan: What’s the situation there now?]

[The Hyena: I don’t know. I only heard about it a while ago. It has attracted a lot of attention.]

[Su Wan: You all can proceed. I’ll be there soon. Update me if there are any new developments.]

[The Hyena: Alright, Lord Su Wan. I won’t let you down!]

Su Wan explained the situation to Xu Yuan. She then turned to Timo.

“Timo, I need to leave immediately. I’ll leave you in charge here,” she said. “The value of ice cream is great. Put the people to work and increase production. Assign someone to calculate the cost for distribution, production, and growth. After that, send it to the Lavender Business Guild and let Mestre decide the price at which it’ll be sold.”

“The territory is participating in knowledge-sharing with various merchants and masters in Dark Region City. The underground world has a lot of talented people, so that is definitely useful. Take care of that as well.”

“Also, follow up with the troops scouting the underground world. See if they have found any military nests. It’s crucial for us to take control of the underground world.”

“The alchemical technology in Furnace City is full of potential. Owen has already begun to explore the possibilities of alchemical technology when integrated into people’s livelihoods. Cooperate with him. In the future, Owen could make use of alchemical technology for anything, be it agriculture, mining, forging, etc.”

Now that the food workshop had finally come up with a dish, the underground world had become more important for the territory than ever before.

The development of the underground world required long-term investment of resources and energy. The output right now was not that great, but that might change in the future..
