Chapter 1068 - 587: Magic Energy Cola, Planning Arrangements

Zong Shen slept soundly.

He wasn’t awakened until Luna called him after ten in the morning.

He yawned drowsily, intending to indulge in a bit more sleep.

However, in the end, he overcame his drowsiness and got up to face the day’s challenges.

After handling the third wave of heat, it meant the Challenge Month was nearing its end.

The subsequent strategic level development plans were mostly scheduled after the Challenge Month.

Through each challenge, Zong Shen’s strength continuously grew, and the foundation of his territory became increasingly solid.

It’s undeniable that this "seven-day survival" challenge model brought many opportunities to the lords.

Allowing the lords to grow rapidly.

Each challenge was closely packed, with the temptation of points on one side and the pressure of the challenge on the other.

This dual approach taught the lords to adapt to this world, facing potential battles or harsh environments.

As the challenges concluded, points became the best reward.

You could also consider points as a kind of all-purpose currency.

However, the Lord System macro-controls each exchange type.

In summary, the behavior of the Lord System could be summed up in one sentence: Everyone can become stronger, but it’s under the control of the Lord System!

At the same time, the Challenge Period also slowed down each lord’s progress in exploring the world.

It indirectly eased the tensions between the indigenous people and the lords.

For Zong Shen, the end of the Challenge Period signified the great development of his territory.

This was a good opportunity to digest the gains.

He sat by the bed, letting his mind wander freely.

When drowsiness lingers, thinking about these issues effectively dispels fatigue.

Just like how some authors, when they don’t want to write, look at the double-digit balance on their phone, then become reinvigorated.

At this moment, Luna walked in with a cup.

The cup contained half a cup of clear liquid.

It looked like plain water, but sparkling bubbles emerged from the water.

"Lord, have some Energy Spring Water."

"Marie had someone build the [Spring of Energy (Purple)] early this morning."

Luna sat down by the bed and handed over the cup, explaining proactively.

It seemed that Marie’s concern for territory construction exceeded Zong Shen’s expectations.

Without his initiative, Marie independently checked the changes in [Construction].

This [Spring of Energy (Purple)] was the limited building he redeemed with points last night.

Unexpectedly, Marie had it built early in the morning.

Therefore, upon waking, he could try the effect of the Energy Spring Water.

He nodded to Luna, took the cup, and brought it to his lips, taking a sip.

The Energy Spring tasted bland but had a distinctive pop rocks-like texture.

Those sparkling bubbles burst as soon as they hit his mouth.

This Energy Spring Water, besides tasting unsweetened, surprisingly had a bit of that "couch potato happy soda" feel.

"Interesting..."

Zong Shen held up the cup, watching the shimmering bubbles rise and fall in the water.

His [Market] hadn’t introduced anything new for quite some time.

The sales still consisted of a small amount of [Moon Holy Water] and some trial equipment produced by the Dwarf Uncle.

The major sales were various mineral resources produced in the mine and some low-tier magic gemstones.

The price of [Moon Holy Water] had stabilized, much cheaper than before.

However, he still had exclusive control over it; currently, no lord in the [Market] had the [Moon God Spring (Orange)], and for other lords, acquiring [Moonlight Spring] might not be difficult, encountering the wandering soul of a demon hunter was possible too, but combining the two to create the legendary level special building [Moon God Spring] was not easy.

Two small probability factors combined to create the [Moon God Spring].

Currently, his [Moon Holy Water] remained highly popular.

Every day, Marie would post some for sale based on the yield of the [Moon God Spring].

Almost every time it was posted, it would sell out within ten minutes.

For the lords, the effect of [Moon Holy Water] still had significant advantages over various healing potions.

After all, it was a rare "triple-supplement" spring water.

Originally, Zong Shen accumulated the first pot of gold for territory development with [Tears of the Moon God] and [Moon Holy Water].

Now, the Energy Spring Water in hand also presented substantial operational potential.

Especially now that the lords were becoming wealthier by the day.

Effect wasn’t always tied to value.

"If I add some honey, syrup, herbal water..."

"Wouldn’t the flavor of the Energy Spring resemble cola?"

"Cola produced in this world could be called Magic Energy Cola!"

Zong Shen’s eyes lit up, instantly seeing a business opportunity.

Compared to [Moon God Spring], [Spring of Energy (Purple)] was evidently easier to acquire.

And cola had a deep-rooted popular foundation on Earth.

If Zong Shen could indeed reproduce cola, even if the taste only captured five or six out of ten, it would definitely lead to a scramble among the lords.

With this in mind, Zong Shen once again raised the cup and drank it all in one go.

Silently feeling the sparkling bubbles burst and dance in his mouth.

His drowsiness unknowingly vanished completely.

"I must let Clarissa study this."

"The first task for the High-level Alchemist is to recreate cola!"

The reason Zong Shen considered manufacturing "cola" was not only the Energy Spring’s unique bubbly texture but also largely due to the joining of High-level Alchemist Clarissa Tessa.
