018. Mass-Produced Omega Energy Serum

The advancement of Omega-tier Omega Energy development gave Li Aozi greater confidence to meddle in the affairs of the Grand Duchy of Grant.

In fact, even without Tianhuan's intervention, the Grand Duchy of Grant would have started moving toward independence before Dai Weilin came to power, as suppressing the Grant people's uprising was a main storyline task for Frost-Plated players.

Unless it involved a matter of principle, no one wanted to constantly play in a losing situation, including Li Aozi. In his view, if he could take Tianhuan's money for free, why not?

Li Aozi's cooperation also benefited Triangle Town, with the Auckland family's minerals being exported to Tianhuan at lower tariffs, leading the lord to look at Li Aozi more and more like a lucky cat.

During this time, Li Aozi took some time to check international news: after gathering enough evidence, Tianhuan launched a full-scale attack on Frost-Plated at the GTB summit, exposing all the anti-human scandals of Abyss Humanitarian, continuing the momentum Li Aozi had stirred up and launching a global wave of condemnation against Frost-Plated.

Frost-Plated's businesses in other countries were marginalized, and private capital and Frost-Plated's students abroad were ridiculed and discriminated against. Coupled with the accumulated domestic tensions, the approval rating of the current Frost-Plated president, Medveya Ostavya, plummeted to 56%. The furious president ordered the Law III mechanism to go into full operation, starting sabotage and infiltration against Tianhuan's colonies, which only intensified Tianhuan's hostility toward Frost-Plated.

Seizing the opportunity, the Red Arrow Empire directly announced an interest rate hike by the Red Reserve, causing the currencies of Frost-Plated and Tianhuan to depreciate, further fueling the fire.

The Red Arrow Empire's temporary rate hike wasn't to cool the market; instead, a large amount of Red Arrow currency flowed back through GTB, causing many Frost-Plated companies to lose financing overnight, leading to skyrocketing inflation and a runaway market in Frost-Plated.

As for Tianhuan, its currency had already depreciated significantly, and the public's fighting spirit was high.

Anyone with eyes could see that Tianhuan had long coveted Frost-Plated, and war was imminent.

To Li Aozi, neither Tianhuan nor Frost-Plated were any good—one was a warmongering invader, the other a corrupt, anti-human beast. Let them bite each other; he had already reaped the greatest benefits.

He had long predicted the tense situation. The devaluation of Tianhuan's currency was a historical trend, so he had already converted it into a large amount of supplies and began closed-door experiments.

Using research data obtained from Abyss Humanitarian and combining it with the hydroponic technology of the biochemical pool, he quickly matured and harvested a large amount of Calamity Crystal plants for refining.

Li Aozi understood: the so-called Calamity was not a virus. The Professor had taken the wrong direction from the start; no matter how much she increased the efficiency, she couldn't figure out the essence of Calamity—or perhaps she did, but as a staunch materialist, she refused to believe the truth.
