Royal Headquarters command room.

Following the eradication of the Ancient Giant Python, the development of the Jungle Mine Area is also entering the final stages, taking one day less than Ma Yinglong expected, saving a few million coins in expenses.

Although the new mines have been divided by NPC nobles leaving the Royal Family players with nothing, only costs with no returns, but as the guild leader, Ma Yinglong has strategic vision, like the gold rush in the American west—who really got rich, the miners who dug for gold? No, it was the people opening tool shops, taverns, and restaurants next to the mine area!

Then Brother Chun suddenly pulled a mysterious move, and was pushed to parade in the streets! And Brother Chun calmly went offline ignoring it! Can't understand it, but it must be very brilliant.

Just as Ma Yinglong was in a good mood, news came from the Gem City Royal division: "Boss, the baton team of the Ten Lords suddenly surrounded our task group, and we can't escape..."

Staring at the live brutal broadcast on the large screen, Ma Yinglong's good mood instantly collapsed: "Players from other countries are untouched, specifically targeting our China District?"

Brother Tao and Brother Yong, a group of big shots, were even more furious: "Do the Ten Lords still have any shame?"

"There's no restraint at all, starting this, in the future they will specifically attack our China District players in the city, then city tasks can't be done!"

"If they keep doing this, even if our super squad comes back with crates, it's not secure..."

Zhou Qing advised: "All big shots, keep calm, doesn't Black Iron City have baguettes?"

Ma Yinglong sighed: "But this is in Black Iron City, even if we send someone over with 10,000 coins for a big purchase, the hardness of the baguette is not strong enough, hitting a few times and it breaks, can't compete with batons at all."

Zhou Qing smiled: "Don't worry, let's endure for a while, it will definitely be resolved."

Ma Yinglong thought for a moment: "Alright, being angry doesn't help us!"

Everyone was very calm: "Exactly, don't ask, don't think about it, just lie down when it's time!"

Zhou Qing was almost amused and annoyed: "You guys calm down so fast..."

Everyone smiled helplessly: "Otherwise? Brother Long to buy this game?"

Ma Yinglong said irritably: "Always bringing this up, will it ever end?"

...

At this moment, Chun's research on baguettes was progressing smoothly.

With Chun's grandmaster-level module combination team supporting, a group of Dancing Girls' cooking skill soared whether successful or failed, soon one Dancing Girl reached advanced cooking.

Once there's the first, the twentieth isn't far away? As long as everyone's advanced, then everyone being expert isn't far for my own advancement either.

As for Chun himself, he wasn't wasting flour material anymore.

At this moment, Chun received another text from Zhou Qing: "Brother Chun, are you busy? If busy, no need to reply."

Ah, again with "busy no need to reply"? Why is she being more and more polite?

Chun replied: "Not busy at all, President Zhou, please speak if there's something."

Zhou Qing directly sent a video: "This is Gem City square, at the NPC selling paintings spot from the night before, the Ten Lords dispatched their baton troops again hitting our China District players. Although Black Iron City Tavern sells baguettes, it hasn't reached the level to compete with batons..."

Uh...

Chun understood Zhou Qing's meaning. Since the night before while fishing by the sea, Zhou Qing mentioned the baguette issue, and so Black Iron City Tavern had baguettes the next day. Now there's a new requirement, is Zhou Qing treating me as a wish machine!

Chun was quite helpless: "This we can only observe situation. Then let's release this task, spread information everywhere, saying buying this NPC's paintings at a high price can trigger special events."

Zhou Qing laughed: "Then let's see the situation, Brother Chun no need to rush. Getting beaten a few times isn't a big deal."

Chun asked again: "Besides this painter, do the other 3 have any special actions?"

"Yes, the fishing old man released that fish and now just sits by the sea doing nothing for the past two days. That old pharmacist is still running his store. The female spinner went back to the factory, can't be seen."

Seems they all have changes! Just that Zhou Qing's observation is quite thorough, this somewhat wastes the manpower of the China District, if the Ten Lords notice China District is so attentive, they might increase surveillance, that'll be annoying.

Chun didn't ask anymore: "Actually knowing their status is enough, no need to keep watch, let them develop freely."

"Alright Brother Chun..."

Ending the conversation, Chun had a bit of a headache. Even if he developed baguettes with hardness surpassing batons and obtained a cooking recipe, he needs to share and spread the recipe as well, share with whom?

Anyway, first discuss it with Aileen: "Dear, it's said the baguette at Vivian Tavern lacks hardness..."

Aileen hesitated for a moment, then laughed: "A baton isn't an iron rod, it's made from rubber from Oak City trees, it has elasticity, if a baguette has elasticity too, it won't break easily, right?"

Chun suddenly realized: "That's true, is it easy to make a baguette with elasticity?"

Aileen laughed: "Feels like adding more oil might work..."

Saying this, Aileen glanced at several Dancing Girls totally immersed in rolling dough, they were having quite a lot of fun!

Chun suddenly felt a surge of confidence, with their enthusiasm, creating something elastic seems more authentic, definitely higher success than copying the original recipe!

"Let's add more oil!"

At this moment, a Dancing Girl exclaimed: "Dear masters, there's no flour anymore!"

Ah?! Yes, the only source of flour is through the hunger level from the cake shop, these past couple of days everyone's been eating quite full, no hunger at all, flour is insufficient! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Chun went all out: "We have bean fields, use bean flour, bean oil! If it succeeds, we'll create a new fashion-leading bean flour bread."

Aileen said: "Alright, we obtained quite a lot of wild essence last night, our farm's almost ready for a bumper harvest, now let's all get moving to harvest."

Chun asked: "Do we have a machine to grind bean flour?"

Aileen laughed: "This can use crystal stones from my mansion's stock as material, but I don't know the machine's exact design, dear, as a master-level mechanician, you can design first!"

Ah! Finally my mechanician gets to take action? But this is design... No problem, I designed that gem machine on Plague Island before! Just a grinder...

"Then you go harvest, I'll start designing..."

Even if it's just a grinder, Chun immediately opened his tablet to search online—it doesn't seem right, these things may seem trivial but really checking may be troublesome. Better to directly ask Zhou Qing, her family business knows various bosses and acquaintances. Worst case, make a simple grinder.

Chun called Zhou Qing: "President Zhou, help me find out about rural grinders for bean flour and oil, need blueprints, as simple as possible..."

Zhou Qing laughed: "Related to bread-making? I'll immediately ask acquaintances to find out..."

You guessed it again!
