Infinite Evolution of My Territory

C22 - The Huge Effect of the Spirit Spring

Qiang Nantie was pleasantly surprised to find that someone had been promoting his Spirit Spring Water without charge, which explained the surge in interest.

"It's actually quite beneficial. It'll help me rake in some extra cash."

He revisited the bamboo prices and noticed another 100 stalks up for sale by none other than the little poppet Lord.

Without a second thought, he snapped up her bamboo, along with some from a few other Lords, despite their prices being marginally higher.

The extra cost was of little concern to him now.

Territory notifications popped up: "The National Exchange Hall spent 1000 spirit coins for 100 bamboo."

Another read: "The National Exchange Hall spent 120 spirit coins for 10 bamboo."

And yet another: "The National Exchange Hall spent 600 spirit coins for 50 bamboo."

Considering his Spirit Spring Water was merely One-star, he had no qualms about selling it.

Unbeknownst to Qiang Nantie, little poppet was taken aback once more as he continued purchasing bamboo. She gleefully sold off her entire stock at the same rate.

Qiang Nantie took note. Anticipating a high demand for bamboo during the Beginner Trial, he decided to follow little poppet. Still, he opted to keep his territory name under wraps, leaving her in the dark.

Upon receiving the notification, little poppet Lord's curiosity was piqued. She was convinced this was the buyer of her bamboo.

But when she checked the details, she found the name concealed.

Logically, shouldn't this person have reached out to discuss the bamboo purchase?

Yet, he had simply followed her, no conversation ensued.

That made sense, too. If he had wanted to chat, he could have messaged her directly since her name wasn't hidden.

"What an oddball," mused the little poppet Lord, unfazed. If he needed bamboo and she had it in abundance, she'd just focus on harvesting more to sell.

Back in Qiang Nantie's territory, he and Huamo were busy packaging Spirit Spring Water.

His stock was selling out as quickly as it was listed.

Those keeping tabs on Qiang Nantie were worried they wouldn't be able to secure any Spirit Spring Water for themselves.

But Qiang Nantie doubted they truly needed as much as they feared. A single Lord might not require such vast quantities, but there were plenty of Lords across the nation eager for the water. So, no matter how abundant his supply, there would always be demand.

It was then that Tung Xinghan received the alert.

Territory Notification: "Today's extraction limit for Spirit Spring Water has been reached. Please extract more tomorrow."

"We've hit the maximum extraction for Spirit Spring Water."

The extraction rate matched the production rate of the Spirit Spring. Currently, the cap was three tons per day.

Considering each canister could hold 100 milliliters, he had amassed three thousand canisters of water.

He glanced at his spirit coin balance and excitement surged through him.

Over three million spirit coins lay before him.

"Calm down. I'm destined to be the mightiest Lord in the universe. Three million spirit coins are merely a trifle."
