Chapter 60 - 58: The Threat of Monster Siege

Hang Yu often feels that the Husky has a peculiar way of thinking.However, isn’t he also a person with a weird brain circuit?

After all, a normal-thinking person wouldn’t come up with the idea of getting a dog to study and turn it into his assistant, would he? Especially since the other party isn’t just an ordinary breed of dog!

Hang Yu kicked the Erha Spirit lying on the ground like a dead dog.

"Get up, stop pretending to be dead."

The Erha Spirit immediately stood up straight and howled: "Boss, I heard that you humans have an animal protection society and there’s a powerful dog lovers’ organization. Is it still in time to complain to them about someone abusing dogs?"

Hang Yu squatted down and patted the Husky’s head: "Stop the nonsense, from today on, your daily study time shouldn’t be less than eight hours, or else you won’t be allowed to play games or use your phone. I’ll even confiscate and cancel your gaming account, WeChat, and Alipay. Do you understand?"

The Husky’s ears drooped upon hearing this, lamenting the hardships of a dog’s life.

Er Gou definitely has the potential to become a top student. Give him a few months, and he could even get into Yanjing University for you!

The Five-Colored Wisdom Fruit, as a fruit no less than an epic-grade, has unimaginable effects on the development of the brain domain. Intelligence is a huge advantage for the Erha Spirit, so why not fully utilize and develop it?

......

After Hang Yu arranged the study plan for the Erha Spirit, he went back to his room and began surfing the internet, logging into the Jiang City Spirit Relief Association forum to understand the latest situation changes in Jiang City.

The Spirit Relief Association forum has become much richer compared to a few days ago.

After logging into the Spirit Relief Association forum, Hang Yu immediately saw a map of Jiang City.

The Spirit Relief Association, through extensive information collection work, has now marked all 528 known Spirit Realm monster spawn locations in Jiang City.

According to the Spirit Relief Association’s estimate.

The number of Spirit Realm creatures in the urban area is now close to one million.

Every day, about three hundred thousand new Spirit Realm creatures are estimated to appear.

The Spirit Relief Association observed that when the density of Spirit Realm creatures in a certain area falls below a certain level, their movement speed increases, just like scallions; the more you cut, the faster they grow, never able to be completely eradicated.

Hang Yu frowned, thinking that the situation was not looking good.

Unexpectedly, in such a short time, so many monsters appeared in Jiang City.

There are still many unknown transfer points that have not been accounted for, so the real situation might be even more severe.

The monsters appearing now are generally very weak.

But there is evidence to show that over time, the monsters will become increasingly stronger.

The Jiang City Spirit Relief Association also reported the situation underground; now the city’s underground has been eroded into a massive labyrinth, just connected with the subway tunnels, with a lot of transfer points appearing inside, and the monsters appearing within are more dangerous, posing a huge threat to city life!

As for places outside Jiang City, in places rarely visited by humans, the situation is even worse!

Monitoring those areas is extremely difficult, and no one knows what kind of monsters might appear.

Judging from the limited intelligence people have brought back via drones, the monsters in the wild are stronger than those in the urban area; they attack and devour each other, becoming increasingly strong over time.

The most terrifying thing is not that.

The most frightening aspect is...

The wild monster packs have a tendency to gather!

Now, Spirit Relief Associations and other parties have proposed a hypothetical monster siege.

They believe that when the monster packs gather to a certain number, they will most likely launch an invasion of the city.

If a monster siege occurs.

The consequences will be unimaginable!

The relevant department, the Celestial Net was established to deal with this kind of situation.

Hang Yu didn’t know what the Celestial Net meant before; it turns out to mean a celestial net encompassing everything, capturing all the monsters within and blocking them outside, to protect the city and safeguard the citizens’ safety.

The response from the relevant department was much quicker than imagined.

Villages and towns around Jiang City have already started evacuating.

Otherwise, if a monster siege were to happen, millions of people would be in danger!

Even Hang Yu felt very shocked when he saw these messages.

It’s true that Hang Yu possesses vast knowledge and experience, but these are limited to within the Spirit Realm; now, with the situation in the real world being so unpredictable and volatile, even he cannot make accurate predictions and does not know what will happen tomorrow.

However, one thing is certain.

This is not an adventure game, but a survival game!

The Spirit Relief Association is calling on every citizen to overcome fear, to continue growing stronger within the Spirit Realm, while the relevant department is encouraging citizens to kill Spirit Realm creatures to contribute to city security.

Under a collapsing nest, how can there be intact eggs?

Hang Yu decided not to stay on the sidelines.

He registered an ID on the Spirit Relief Association forum and began posting some information about transferred monsters, along with techniques for hunting these monsters, to contribute a little to protect human cities without affecting himself.

Hang Yu is not afraid of attracting attention.

The Spirit Relief Association forum is almost becoming a player strategy hub.

People from all over the world are posting insights, seeking help, and sharing information on the forum.

For example, after this Spirit Realm closure, the number of people in Jiang City who have risen to level 2 has increased greatly, with a very few even reaching level 3, and everyone who has reached level 2 is facing a weakness issue.

Someone has already discovered.

This weakness must be remedied by consuming Spiritual Food.

Food cooked by a Spirit Chef is not only very delicious but also contains Spiritual Qi.

The benefits and importance of Spirit Realm food are spreading across Spirit Relief Association forums everywhere, and people will soon realize the importance of Spirit Realm food, prompting them to actively hunt monsters, which will greatly help the city’s law enforcement and relieve the pressure on the relevant departments.

Where there is a need, there will be profit, and where there is profit, there will be action.

Never underestimate people’s execution when faced with profit!

And never underestimate the enthusiasm and pursuit of foodies in the gourmet’s paradise when it comes to delicious food!

The Spirit Relief Association forum is not only a place for serious information but also where people communicate, hence there are lots of news gossip, especially about some big shots, and they are closely watched by people.

"Stock God Buffett sets up a Spirit Realm asset investment fund with a hundred billion dollars!"

"Shocking news, with pictures to prove it, Tencent’s Ma Teng has reached level 3, fully equipped in white gear!"

"Xiangjiang’s tycoon Li Ka-shing, still vigorous, successfully leads a Spirit Realm team to conquer a monster area, reaping great rewards!"

"Alibaba Group’s Jack Ma is investing heavily in Hang City to acquire Skill Stones, valuing quality Skill Stones at nearly a billion!"

......

People are very anxious.

There is simply too much information in the forum.

The intelligence and gossip, true and false, are dazzling and overwhelming.

At this moment, Pang Dahai called, and his first sentence was: "Something terrible happened!"

Hang Yu was puzzled: "Did a rich woman abandon you?"

"Worse, the Spirit Relief Association people are spreading the information, and now people are hunting and storing Spirit Realm monsters all over the streets, either preparing to eat them themselves or thinking of selling them at high prices, which has made our ingredient cost higher."

"That’s normal, anyway, we have enough ingredients for now."

"But the business opportunity has been completely exposed!" Pang Dahai said very worriedly, "I got word that over a dozen restaurants and hotels in Jiang City already plan to start offering Spirit Realm food, which will probably give us a hard time."

What can I say?

This situation was foreseeable.

And it was also unavoidable.

As the number of level 2 citizens begins to surge rapidly, even if the Spirit Relief Association doesn’t disclose this information, people will become aware of the importance of Spirit Realm food through online news or interactions with each other.

Papers cannot wrap up a fire.

So this business opportunity cannot be hidden at all.

However, even Hang Yu did not expect that people would respond so quickly.

Major restaurants in Jiang City have immediately started planning to launch Spirit Realm food, and the dining industry is already undergoing large-scale transformation, which is likely to lead to a competitive situation similar to the thousand-group battle next.

He told Pang Dahai.

"Don’t worry, these hotels and restaurants can’t possibly hire that many Spirit Chefs hastily."

"If I’m not mistaken, most of them will use ordinary cooking methods to process Spirit Realm ingredients directly."

"This method can also cook, but since the ingredients haven’t been collected using Collection Skill or processed with cooking skills, they won’t be much better than ordinary food in all aspects, and quality-wise, they can’t compete with us."

"What you need to do next is to get the official restaurant up and running as soon as possible. Give me a day or two, and I’ll solve the production capacity issue."

At Hang Yu’s words.

Pang Dahai was somewhat relieved.

After hanging up the phone with Pang Dahai, Hang Yu realized that the matter of medicine refining could not be delayed any longer.

He immediately called Teacher Su, who had already obtained the Medicine Refining Skill Stone. They arranged to meet at the same coffee shop as last time.

(PS: Friendly reminder, please do not equate the big shot characters in the book directly with real life people, just consider them as people from a parallel universe. Most are background characters, occasionally interacting with the protagonist, but they are generally secondary roles, with the main storyline being driven by original characters.)
