Chapter 423: A Failed Idea. Freemasonry

Edited by Aelryinth

Seeing the lower half of the beehive filled with honey, Zhang Che couldn’t help but think, -If I can tame all those large bees, wouldn’t those fellows produce an endless supply of honey for me?-

Zhang Che grew excited when he thought of having an endless supply of honey.

Although this idea didn’t sound reliable, how would he know if it worked without trying?

Naturally it wouldn’t be of much use if he only tamed those large bees. After all, the amount of pets Zhang Che could have was limited by the size of his spiritual sea. At present, he already had quite a few pets taking up some slots available. Even if he used all of the remaining space available to house the tamed large bees, he’d only be able to tame a dozen or so of them at the most. It was futile.

It was totally impossible to produce large amounts of honey with only a dozen bees.

Moreover, Zhang Che still had to leave some spaces for when he found suitable powerful exotic beasts to tame, to increase his strength.

He was actually thinking whether there was a queen bee or a king bee among them.

If there was a bee king that could command the other bees, all he had to do was to tame the bee king and indirectly command the bees. Then, those fellows would become his workers for free, producing an endless supply of honey for him.

However, Zhang Che didn’t discover any traces of a bee king there.

Perhaps there was no bee king in this swarm. The possibility was pretty high. On the other hand, it was also possible that Xiong Er had enraged the bee king when it stole their honey, and as a result the bee king led a swarm of its underlings chasing after the bear.

After all, they were large bees from the beast world. Zhang Che couldn’t predict their actions based on what the ordinary bees on Mercury or Earth would do.

He had no idea when those large bees would return. Zhang Che shifted his gaze back onto the large beehive.

Even the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s spatial storage wouldn’t be able to fit the ten-meter wide beehive.

Zhang Che let out a low groan. The scarlet and white sword light flashed, cutting off the top half of the beehive, where the large bees rested, leaving only the lower half that stored the honey.

It could now be easily fit into the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s storage space.

Indeed, when Zhang Che summoned the Purple Crystal Tortoise, it opened its mouth and sucked the lower half of the beehive into its storage, occupying more than half of the space available.

However, that didn’t matter. All that mattered was that it could store the beehive!

Zhang Che still had two spatial storage equipment beast cards, which was already enough for normal use.

Moreover, the beehive would only be stored inside the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s body temporarily. When he returned from the beast world, Zhang Che would find another container and pour all the honey out, freeing the space in the Purple Crystal Tortoise’s unique dimension.

After doing all this, a few large bees finally came flying back from gathering honey.

They immediately went crazy when they saw their hive destroyed, attacking Zhang Che without a care for their lives.

This time, Zhang Che didn’t cut them down. Instead, he flew away on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and circled around the valley.

He was thinking that if he managed to tame the bee king, those fellows would become his free workers. Who would make honey for him in the future if he killed them all?

Just like that, Zhang Che led more and more large bees around. After circling the valley countless times, the swarm of bees that went chasing after Xiong Er finally came back. The swarm immediately discovered the invader Zhang Che when they returned to the valley.

At the same time, Zhang Che didn’t know how those large bees communicated, but they immediately knew he had destroyed their beehive. As a result, all of them came swarming after him, looking like they would never let this matter rest unless either side fell.

Zhang Che wasn’t worried about those little things catching up to him. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was too fast for them.

Zhang Che narrowed his eyes, searching the beast swarm.

After a short while, Zhang Che sighed in disappointment.

Indeed, the two different worlds played by different rules. Those large bees really had no king or queen among them.

Since there was no bee king, Zhang Che’s idea wouldn’t be able to come to fruition. As such, he no longer acted politely.

A scarlet and white sword light flashed like lightning, sweeping around Zhang Che in a hundred-meter radius at great speed. Moments later, the large bees were all cut down, gaining him another fifty-some beast cards!

“What a pity. It would’ve been great if these little things were at five-stars. That way, I would’ve accumulated close to half of the experience needed for next level at one go,” Zhang Che let out a long sigh of regret as he looked at the thick stack of same species, level, and quality beast cards in his hand.

It wouldn’t be easy to find such a large pack of identical exotic beasts together again!

Not only that, the higher level they were, the lower the chances of such a large group of exotic beasts appearing. He had a long way to go before advancing his fusion skill to the next level.

Afterwards, Zhang Che could only leave this valley, shaking his head and sighing, and bring the frisky monkey along to continue searching for spiritual herbs.

It was already a surprise obtaining close to five hundred kilograms worth of honey. Naturally Zhang Che wouldn’t forget his aim of venturing deep into the beast world this time.

Even if he couldn’t find enough spiritual herbs to let the frisky monkey level up, at the very least he had to find a mid-tier epic-quality beast card t before he was willing to return.

In the southern part of Hua Xia, Feihe City…

This place was the center of one of the top city circles in southern Hua Xia. Although its scale was far from comparable to Bei Du City’s circle, the population here was close to a hundred million.

As the center of this city circle, Feihe City had a population of more than twenty million people. It could be said to be one of the largest cities in all of southern Hua Xia.

In the southwest district of Feihe City was an undulating area of mountainous land. Various buildings were spread out in a messy way. There were some small pieces of land in between that had large spreads of withered, fallen corn stalks.

These lands weren’t suitable for planting paddy fields, so obviously the production of corn was the highest.

Feihe City occupied an enormous piece of land. Not only were there large areas of farmland in the city, there were also some sporadic hills that provided Feihe City with large amounts of food.

After all, in the new era, places where exotic beasts were often seen weren’t suitable to be plowed into farm lands, limiting farming to close to the cities.

Oftentimes, an exotic beast or two would be able to destroy large areas of farm land overnight. It was impossible for humans to completely eliminate the wild exotic beasts, too.

Therefore, inside the much safer city, the lands which were suitable for planting crops were used for that exact purpose!

Next to one of those sporadic corn fields, in a huge but simple courtyard, close to a hundred men and women, were gathered and sitting inside. Every one of them was looking at a man with fanatical expressions.

That man had an ordinary appearance. He didn’t seem like anything special. However, a fingernail-sized crystal was barely visible on his forehead.

“By what right do those large clans and large companies claim the high-grade resources for themselves? It’s already the new era; everyone can fight for the survival of humanity and play a part! During every beast swarm, it was always us ordinary citizens or low-tier beastmasters with the highest casualties!

“But, even so, those large clans and corporations still followed the bad practices of the old society, trying to claim all the high-grade resources for themselves. This is simply progressing backwards!

“Our aim for establishing a freemasonry is to break down all classes and build an equal society where everyone can enjoy all resources!

“Admittedly, we’re still very weak. However, other than those in the large clans and corporations, everyone is our natural comrades. A day will come when we realize our ideals. We’ll become strong together and drive the exotic beasts away, and in the end, build a world of harmony!”

The man’s eyes were shining with a strange, dark light. The words he spoke were simply shocking.

Even so, the hundred or so beastmasters in the courtyard seemed like they were possessed, and were obsessed with the goal after hearing that man’s words. Their faces were showing fanatical expressions.

“You’re right, President He! All men are equal! By what right do those large clans and corporations hold their high positions in society? We have to take them down and build a harmonious world!”

“Right, right, right! Bring down those blood suckers. It’s on us to save the world!”

Everyone echoed him crazily. None of them realized that a deep light was spreading from He Luotu’s eyes. After the amplification from the strange crystal object on his forehead, everyone was covered by it. {TLN: He Luotu is the man who tried turning the secret plane into a utopia.}

He Luotu looked at the crowd’s reactions in satisfaction. He suddenly half-raised his hand, keeping the situation in check and said, “Calm down, everyone. Although our freemasonry has a noble aim, we’re still too weak at present. We mustn’t draw the attention of those blood suckers.

“So, I ask for everyone to never reveal anything regarding the freemasonry to the outside world. Even among yourselves, try not to talk about these matters.

“Just slowly spread our ideals secretly. When the people have learned about our ideals and stand on our side, we’ll drive away those blood suckers that hold high positions in society and build our harmonious world!

“Going forward, I hope everyone will turn into tiny sparks and spread our ideals while ensuring your own safety.

“Everyone remember, safety first!”

The beastmasters dispersed, a fanatical light in their eyes. He Luotu stood alone in the courtyard, revealing a faint, charmingly devious smile.

Feeling the miraculous effects of the strange crystal in his forehead, he mumbled to himself, “I really didn’t expect these humans are able to command the spiritual beasts through such a method, turning them into all kinds of equipment in various forms. How amazing!

“But, this conveniently works in my favor. When I have gathered enough believers, and slowly get into contact with my other clones, we’ll be able to head into the spiritual beast world and set up the large array to connect the two worlds, allowing our warriors to descend endlessly and in the end, occupy that paradise world!”

Imagining his plans coming to fruition, a layer of dark light shone in He Luotu’s eyes once more.
