CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37: CHIEF WATERWORKS EXECUTIVE

Bubble Beasts created 26 oversized bubbles, each with a diameter of 3 meters, and began filtering like crazy.

In an instant, a third of the bubbles were filled with clear water. The efficiency was so high that Lear was greatly surprised.

At this speed, just one Bubble Beast could provide enough clean water for Weilu City as it is now.

After the bubbles were half-filled with clean water, they gradually sank into the swamp, and then a magical scene unfolded——

These bubbles actually connected together, forming an oval-shaped super large bubble.

This large bubble isolated the mud outside and filtered the water at an even more exaggerated speed. In no time at all, it formed an oval-shaped clean water source.

The depth reached 5 meters, the width exceeded 10 meters, and the length was an astonishing 50 meters!

The bubbles blended into the water, becoming completely invisible, even undetectable with magic power perception.

Looking around, one could only see a clear oval water channel among the mud.

And right next to it, the murky and smelly muddy water was still flowing slowly, forming a stark contrast between the two.

Wonderful treasures!

Lear looked at these extraordinarily fierce little guys, feeling very pleased.

Stepping forward, he crouched down and tested the water with his hand.

His hand passed through the bubble and felt a slight coolness but no obstruction.

He cupped some clean water and took a gentle sip.

A sweet and refreshing taste filled his mouth, invigorating his entire being.

After being filtered by the bubbles, the water felt like mountain spring water.

Compared to the previously foul-smelling, undrinkable swamp water, the difference was worlds apart.

Bain, standing by, took a few sips and found it hard to contain his excitement.

He exclaimed with delight.

"My lord... This is just wonderful!"

He had never expected that the troublesome problem plaguing him would be solved in such a peculiar way!

Lear smiled, gazing at the Bubble Beasts, giving them generous praise.

"Well done!"

"You are the pride of Weilu City!"

He lavished compliments on these little creatures.

Finally, he asked,

"How long can bubbles of this scale be maintained?"

Looking at the little plump dragons chattering again, his gaze landed on a particularly steady-looking Bubble Beast.

"You tell me!"

The Bubble Beast that was called out immediately raised its little head with pride, receiving envious gazes from all around.

"Master, if just used for water filtration, it doesn’t consume much magic power; I can maintain it myself!"

"Previously, we used to take turns maintaining the bubbles... each taking charge for a month."

One person can maintain it?

Lear was quite pleasantly surprised.

No wonder the large water source near the small hill is so clear and bright.

These little guys are truly treasures.

Given this large bubble’s filtration efficiency, it’s enough to support the daily consumption of Weilu City, even if the population multiplies several times over!

"From now on, arrange one person on duty every day to maintain the water bubble here."

He added another line,

"I will establish a water company in Weilu City. Whoever is on duty here will be the Chief Executive Officer of the water company, with other Bubble Beasts assisting."

Upon hearing this, all the Bubble Beasts’ eyes lit up.

Being the Chief Executive Officer of the water company sounded impressive, and having other Bubble Beasts assist... it was like little children in kindergarten getting a gold star, and their enthusiasm surged instantly.

"Master, let me... I can maintain it continuously; they were slacking before, and I managed the bubbles for three months by myself!"

"I also want to be the Chief Executive Officer of the water company..."

"Master~"

Lear couldn’t help but laugh as he watched a group of little guys start acting spoiled.

"Who was your leader before?"

A group of Bubble Beasts instinctively looked toward the figure Lear just named.

He immediately understood.

"From now on, you will be the permanent director of the water company, responsible for scheduling everyone, be it for a day or three days, it’s up to you."

As soon as the words were spoken, there was an immediate difference, as the Bubble Beast showed a bit of joy on its face but nodded steadily.

"Yes, Master, I will arrange it properly."

"What’s your name?"

"Master, I gave myself a name... BoBo."

This little creature showed a bit of embarrassment on its face.

Lear encouragingly patted its head, which was soft like clay.

"That’s a nice name, BoBo. From now on, you will manage the other Bubble Beasts."

"Yes, Master!"

BoBo nodded with his head held high.

As he spoke, Lear suddenly seemed to think of something, and curiously asked,

"Why do you maintain such a large water bubble daily?"

The clear water near that small hill is several times larger than here.

Simply for drinking, there’s no need for so much.

Bobo responded.

"Master, fish is our food... Fish raised in clear water tastes better."

"That’s our fish farm."

Good heavens, a fish farm?

So all those fish are raised by you?

Lear immediately thought of the fifth piece of intelligence from this update—3 Stars value, Dragon Blood Red Fish!

He asked with interest.

"I plan to also establish a fish farm around Weilu City, where do you think is suitable?"

Bobo stretched his small head and looked around, finally indicating in the direction of the Starry Sky Vine in the north.

"Master... Water flows down from above, it’s better up there."

"The purified clear water can also cover the entire area..."

Lear nodded.

"Very good."

"Can you catch fish?"

Bobo immediately became interested.

He patted his chubby little paws on his chest.

"Of course~"

"Our bubbles can directly trap the fish!"

After all, fish are their food.

Lear’s smile widened.

He turned to Bain.

"↓Has the southern area made any progress?"

Before setting out today, he informed Bain of the Dragon Blood Red Fish’s news and asked them to send someone to investigate first.

"Sir, the water depth in that area reaches seven or eight meters, and there’s thick mud at the bottom... We haven’t found anything, the fishing nets are ineffective."

Lear was not surprised, a treasure valued at 3 Stars wouldn’t be that simple.

"Bobo, tomorrow morning, take 10 companions with me to hunt outside, the others will stay in the territory and maintain the bubbles."

"Bain, you’re responsible for arranging their living and accommodations."

After some more communication, the sky darkened.

The army dispersed, and the Mud Swamp People began to light fires and cook.

Today, they hunted two swamp wild boars, and tonight they can enjoy a lavish feast of pig slaughter.

Thankfully, there’s Noah’s Rice, otherwise this meager food wouldn’t be enough for the consumption of these 300 people.

The night fell.

The stars twinkled, and the Vine Fairy started her daily work... Grow Fast and Big, continuously letting the Power of Starlight nurture the Starry Sky Vine, causing these 2 Stars Magic Plants to grow rapidly.

The Barbarians, having finished their dinner, were suddenly drawn in, curiously coming to the central area.

Immediately, they saw the previously rough vine structure, only with a basic frame, grow visibly.

Gradually weaving together, faintly forming the shape of buildings.

They were deeply shocked.

Akenza watched for over an hour and calculated tremblingly, at this construction speed...

This blank territory will soon be able to construct a large area of magnificent buildings.

What the Human Lord said is not false?!

In two months, they can establish trade links?!

Humans, profound and unfathomable, truly unfathomable.

The next morning, August 11th, Lear woke up and first checked the construction progress of the Weilu City administrative hall as usual.

Though massive, with the Vine Fairy’s unlimited effort, the construction progress was one-third complete.

Perhaps in around 10 more days, his first building will be initially completed.

Moreover, given the building’s traits, it can continue to expand based on it.

The potential is limitless.

After a simple wash, he immediately gathered the army, took 10 Bubble Beasts, and headed south to catch Dragon Blood Red Fish.

The 10-kilometer journey was neither long nor short, but without errors along the way, it would be midday before they could return.

As he prepared to set out, he was quite surprised to find the Barbarians’ attitude had changed greatly.

Previously, there was vigilance mixed with resignation, but now, everyone’s face carried anticipation, and their gaze toward him was full of goodwill and respect.

Their enthusiasm greatly enhanced.

After a brief chat, he discovered that the other party seemed to highly praise the rapidly growing vine structures.

Understanding its meaning, Lear smiled, patted Akenza, the Barbarian leader, on the shoulder, not saying much more.

Just starting now?

With him here, Weilu City’s future will make the whole Wilderness tremble!

Calm his mind, set out to fish—

[5, ↓South of 10 kilometers in the muddy pond, a group of Dragon Blood Red Fish, extremely delicious meat, no bones or thorns. (3 Stars)]
