Chapter 958: Rapid Development

Tang Shaoyang spent his time with the two little girls for eight hours straight. They strolled around, not just the market district but the other districts as well. He finally got to see the Tang Empire Academy, the government district, The TEIS\'s headquarters, and more things. From the many districts, he did not enter one particular district. It was in the Red District. That area was not someone like Li Jiaying and Li Yue could enter. He could tell that it was an adult area, but he had never heard of this Red District before.         

\'If I am Li Shuang, I will not tell you about the Red District too. You will come to that place often and bring back more women if you know that place,\' Rosalie, the Flame Empress, chided him.     

Tang Shaoyang smiled wryly, but he did not say anything to respond. That was true; he was terrible. He accepted that fact and made sure he did not repeat the same mistake again. Out of all places, the Market District was the interesting one. They did not just resell stuff from the old day but also the new thing in the game. He encountered nine butcher shops selling monster meat. There were a few restaurants that provided monster meat as their dishes.     

The popular meat monster was the Golden-Horned Cattle and the Red Boar. He did not know that there was such a beast in his territory. Golden-Horned Cattle was level 50 to level 90 beast, and the Red Boar was level 80 to level 95 beast. The absurd thing was that rabbit meat, another popular beast meat, but too expensive, so people did not buy rabbit meat even though it was more delicious and juicer. It was said the rabbit was even tastier than Golden-Horned Cattle and Red Boar.     

The reason the rabbit was more expensive was that the rabbit was a higher-level beast. The rabbit species was Rabbit Killer. The Rabbit Killer came up with three steel blades on its forearm, and it was extremely agile. It was said the Rabbit Killer was level 150 and above. Understandable why it was more expensive than beef and pork produced by the cattle and boar.     

Tang Shaoyang got to know more about his empire. For example, they used Game Coins as the currency. Li Shuang said she wanted to change it to physical currency, but it seemed she changed her mind as the Game Coin was more practical. They did not need to worry about fake money because of the System. No one could make fake Game Coins, after all.     

However, the value of the Game Coin was kinda messed up. Five Game Coins for one candy, that was damn expensive. Five Game Coins was the same as five zombies. One had to kill five zombies to get five Game Coins. Was that worth it? Risking your life, killing five zombies for a fruit coated with sugar? He wondered how they kept the shop open with that kind of price. Not all people would buy the candy at that price.     

He suddenly found an interest in what his Empire had. The stroll was fruitful for him, and another big gain was that he felt a lot better. Strolling around with the two little girls made him forget everything in his head before. He looked at the two girls who were sleeping in his embrace, drooling onto his clothes as they slept soundly.     

\'First thing, shall I make myself known?\' Tang Shaoyang recalled the TEIS people who followed him during the stroll. He spotted them, but he did not want to make a scene, so he just let them follow him. It seemed Li Jiaying, and Li Yue were on the must-watch list by TEIS. He was satisfied with his father-in-law\'s work if that was the case.     

Kang Xue\'s father, Kang Jiayi, was the founder of the TEIS. It was Kang Jiayi\'s idea to form TEIS, and he agreed to the idea. He felt like that was one of the best decisions he had made. The old man did his job well in developing the TEIS.     

\'Let\'s not do that unless it\'s necessary,\' He decided not to make himself known because that would be a hassle for him if he decided to go for a stroll with the two little girls. Strolling around like that was a nice break for him. It was fun and helped him with the stress. On top of that, he got to know more about his own empire. He learned a lot from a simple stroll.     

\'I am not good with the management, but the development makes me interested in them. Also, how do they get sugar? There\'s a bakery too. Do they get it from scavenging the abandoned market and houses?\' From his understanding, they only had a rice field, the farm.     

People bowed at him as he entered the main base. Most of the people inside the main base were mostly the Tarrior or the people who worked for Li Shuang. They recognized it within a glance. He smiled and entered the elevator.     

Tang Shaoyang brought the two little girls to the spare room on his floor and returned to the office, "Hmmm, there are a lot of things in my mind now. Let\'s start with my empire\'s situation. I know too little even though I am the leader. That\'s kinda embarrassing."     

"Origin, you should know everything about the empire\'s situation, right?"     

[Yes, Master. You can ask anything, and I will ask Lady Li Shuang if there\'s something I don\'t know.] The smart AI readily replied to him.     

"Let\'s start with the sugar. Do we have a way to produce sugar, Origin?" That was the first thing that came up in his head, thinking about the candy in the sweet store.     

[We have a factory that produces sugar, Master. We have one factory for now, but it\'s still expanding. However, the production is still slow because we make it manually. We can produce white sugar and brown sugar, but not much.]     

"What about the ingredients? Do we have a sugarcane farm?"     

[We do have a sugarcane farm. Ever since you upgraded the Smart Base to level 10, we can buy sugarcane from the general store and plant them in our field. We have everything in the General Store, that\'s why Lady Li Shuang is closing the General Store. The store is not accessible anymore, but us. However, we make a catalog of what things people can buy from the General Store and open our own store to the public.]     

"Mnnnn," Tang Shaoyang nodded his head understandingly, "What about the bakery? Do we have wheat fields too?"     

The conversation continued for hours as he listened to how much his Empire had grown all these months. He was not expecting the main factor to be the level 10 Smart Base. That accelerated the empire\'s development.
