Global Lords: My Territory Heart Is a World Tree

Chapter 307: Chapter 4: Small Thrown Flame Burst Bomb

Under this powerful system of rewards and punishments, eligible residents throughout the territory eagerly embraced the childbirth policy.

Among them, the Sprites and the Slimes were the most enthusiastic.

Both of these races reproduce asexually, requiring only sufficient energy to split and form new young.

Furthermore, the vast and boundless territory now needed more Sprites and Slimes.

More Sprites could produce more Spiritual Energy, accelerating the territory’s energy restoration.

The Slimes, on the other hand, were needed in great numbers for the Natural Essence Manufacturing Plant. They would transport and break down dead organic matter across the vast territory to produce more Natural Essence.

"Lord Phantom, it’s not that we don’t want to have more children, really! It’s just that our kind only has one mating season each year. Once it passes, we can’t conceive no matter what we try!"

(Families unable to have children for various objective reasons would not have their resource rations reduced, but they wouldn’t receive any rewards, either.)

"I know, I know. I’m just here to remind you that since it’s not mating season, you should be taking good care of your kids. Don’t let them run wild."

"Kids should be in school; their education can’t be neglected. Otherwise, when they grow up, they won’t even be able to read a Cultivation Technique, and they’ll fall far behind everyone else."

(Before his departure, Lin Yu had also emphasized the importance of education, implementing a system of rewards and punishments for each family’s educational efforts. At the very least, every school-age child had to be enrolled in school.)

...

As Phantom was walking, he passed through the Sprite territory. A group of Sprites approached, led by Chenxi.

"Chenxi, done with your lecture?"

"Yep!"

"I really envy you. All you have to do is explain reproduction to the Sprites, check on the various projects, and then you can call it a day."

"If you’re that envious, why don’t we switch jobs?"

"Huh? No, no, no! I have no idea how the Sprites can better absorb Spiritual Energy to divide. Explaining how to absorb energy to strengthen the body, on the other hand... I’m your guy for that."

"Sigh... Lecturing isn’t as great as you think. I go over the same material every day. I can recite it all from memory; I even know all the potential problems the Sprites might encounter backward and forward. It’s pretty tiresome, repeating the same explanation over and over."

"Really?"

"You know it!"

"Why don’t you train some of the Sprites to be instructors? You already know nearly every problem they’ll encounter. You could just summarize the material and have them memorize it, right?"

Chenxi’s eyes lit up at Phantom’s suggestion. Ever since Lin Yu’s departure, she had been the one to come and explain to the Sprites how to reproduce faster, better, and more healthily.

Her power was immense now, and drawing on her knowledge as a Legendary Druid, she had easily improved the Sprites’ original methods for absorbing and storing Spiritual Energy.

After many refinements, the method she now taught was vastly different from the one originally passed down among the Sprites.

To get the word out about this new method, she had to come to the Sprite settlement every day to give her explanation.

Unfortunately, the Sprite population was simply too large, and with new ones being born every day, she could see no end to her task of disseminating the new method.

At Phantom’s reminder, it dawned on Chenxi that she had been stuck in a mental rut.

’That’s right. In the beginning, I had to explain it myself because I was the only one who knew the new method.’

’But now, after all these days of lectures, many Sprites already understand my new method. To my knowledge, some have already used it to produce the next generation.’

’It’s time to train a batch of Sprite instructors and free myself!’

Chenxi thanked him repeatedly, "Ha! Thanks, Lord Phantom. That’s an excellent suggestion."

"Huh? Oh, is it? Glad I could help." Phantom gave a simple, honest smile. "By the way, where are you all headed?"

"The research institute has a new breakthrough. I was just about to look for you to go with me, and I ran right into you. Let’s go check it out together! It’s military-related research."

"Did they finish the Concentrated Energy Bomb?"

"No, it’s a type of portable small bomb. The institute calls it the ’Small Thrown Flame Burst Bomb.’"

"Sounds like a new toy. Let’s go. I haven’t been to the institute’s R&D center since the territory expanded."

...

The institute’s R&D center, being inherently dangerous, was not built in a densely populated area, much like the quarantine labs. Instead, it was situated between the outermost Defensive Array and the inner defensive line.

Consequently, when the territory was expanded, the center ended up on a plot of open land far from the new heart of the domain.

Outside the massive R&D center, a convoy of Hovercars swiftly approached and pulled into the center’s designated parking lot.

Phantom and Chenxi, each with their own people, stepped out of the cars. Guided by the director of the R&D center, they walked inside.

The director of the R&D center was a man named Wick Kent, the nephew of Orentz Kent.

"Wick, what is this ’Small Thrown Flame Burst Bomb’ you mentioned? Is it really worth summoning both me and Phantom?" Chenxi inquired.

"Heh heh." Wick Kent laughed smugly. "Lord Lin, this is an applied invention that will change the entire territory’s method of warfare. It really was necessary to call you both."

"That confident? Then I’ll have to get a good look at this!" Phantom chimed in from the side.
