129: Chapter 129 Frenzied Feeding! Wild Growth!
24 hours after the launch of the Dawn Project, the roaring sounds above Cloud Top Palace had not ceased for a moment.
If the previous transport of supplies was like a trickle, then now, it was simply like the Yellow River bursting its banks.
As a country known for its infrastructure mania and five thousand years of heritage, once China's state machinery ran at full capacity, its mobilization capability was absolutely terrifying.
"Unit 1 delivery complete! That is the 'Millennium Wood Essence' collected from the depths of Shennongjia, handle with care!"
"Unit 2 ready! This is the 'Life Spiritual Liquid' produced from the Kunlun Void Secret Realm. A single drop of this stuff can make withered wood spring back to life, so don't spill it!"
"Unit 3... Did they just move an entire micro-spiritual spring from Changbai Mountain here? Holy crap, this is way too intense!"
On the plaza, Wang Dachui looked up, his mouth wide enough to fit a lightbulb, watching as white parachutes hung from the sky, slowly lowering specially-made shipping containers that were worth a fortune at this moment.
Butler Lao Jin, along with a group of servants and the newly promoted Ye Xiaocao, were so busy they didn't know which way was up; their hands were nearly breaking just from registering and cataloging everything.
"Is... is this the nation's resolve?"
Ye Xiaocao held a box of green crystals radiating rich vitality, feeling the surging energy within, and her heart was stirred with tumultuous waves.
She had spent twenty years in the Abyss Sect and had seen countless treasures, but she had truly never seen a scene like today, where top-tier Heaven And Earth Treasure were being transported here like common cabbages.
"How is this raising a child? This is clearly burying the child in money!"
"Hehe, this is what you call style!"
Wang Dachui casually took a verdant fruit from the box, wiped it on his clothes, and took a crunchy bite; juice overflowed, filling his mouth with a fresh fragrance.
"The taste is not bad, a bit like the green apples I used to eat, but it has a much bigger kick."
He swallowed the fruit flesh, feeling the cells of his Ancient Sacred Body slightly rejoicing due to this bit of life energy, and nodded with satisfaction:
"Old Zhao has really gone all out this time. It seems those two old men are indeed very important to the country."
"Let's go! Into the house! Time to feed my daughter!"
In the main house, inside the bedroom that had been temporarily converted into an "ecological nursery." The scene here had completely changed.
The original luxurious decor had now been covered by countless vines and flowers that had grown out of thin air.
The floor was covered with thick, carpet-like moss, the walls were hung with strange spiritual fruits, and the air was filled with high concentrations of oxygen ions and the essence of plants.
If one didn't know this was a bedroom, they would think they had stumbled into some elven Secret Realm in a primeval forest.
Nalan Ruo was sitting by the cradle woven from living vines, holding a jade bottle, feeding The Fourth inside.
Other babies drank milk, but The Fourth drank β [Hundred Herb Jade Dew].
This was a liquid refined from the essence of hundreds of Spiritual Plants, and every drop was worth a thousand gold.
"Gulp... Gulp..." In the cradle, that pink and jade-carved baby was holding a jade bottle about the same size as her face, drinking with great relish.
As those liquids filled with life energy went down, the faint green halo on her body became increasingly rich.
"She's grown again..." Nalan Ruo looked at her daughter in her arms, her eyes filled with both gratification and a trace of maternal helplessness.
The Fourth finished a bottle of Jade Dew and let out a burp that smelled like flowers.
Immediately after, her little hands and feet, which had still been somewhat curled up, actually stretched out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and golden-green radiance flowed through the blood vessels beneath her skin.
"Crack... crack..." A faint sound of bone growth arose.
In just the time it takes to eat a meal, she had grown from the appearance of a newborn baby to the size of a normal baby at one month old, her eyes had become more lively, and she could even turn over and sit up in the cradle by herself.
This was one of the racial talents of the Wang family's Divine Beast β as long as the energy was sufficient, the growth period could be played at double speed.
"Iya!" (Want more!)
The Fourth threw the empty bottle to the side and reached out her little hands toward Wang Dachui, who had just walked in, her big emerald-green eyes filled with longing.
"Alright, alright, alright! Daddy's here!"
Wang Dachui looked at this tender, pink daughter, and his heart melted.
He hurried to bring over a box of Millennium Wood Hearts he had intercepted from outside earlier.
This stuff was as hard as iron, but in Wang Dachui's hands, it was like breaking chocolate; he snapped it into small pieces and stuffed them into his daughter's mouth.
The Fourth took the Wood Heart and put it in her mouth, eating it as if it were a milk candy; she ate with such relish.
With every piece she ate, the vitality on her body became one point richer, and the surrounding plants grew another inch wildly.
"This child's digestive ability is not inferior to the eldest's at all."
Ji Taimei walked in, supporting her not-yet-obvious belly, holding a report, and watching The Fourth eating frantically, she couldn't help but sigh:
"At this speed, combined with the country's saturated resource supply, it is estimated that within a month, she will grow to look like she is three or four years old, and the Origin power in her body will be enough to support her in casting the Life Eulogy to save people."
"One month..." Wang Dachui rubbed his chin, looking at his daughter's cute eating expression, his eyes firm: "That's enough! It just so happens that we can also rest and reorganize during this month, and upgrade the home's defensive fortifications."
Just then. "Bang!" The bedroom window was suddenly violently pushed open from the outside.
A black shadow jumped in with the sound of wind, causing the floor to tremble when it landed. It was the eldest, Wang Zhentian.
The kid was holding a freshly caught, still-flapping mutant rabbit in his hand.
"Little sister! Eat meat!"
Wang Zhentian had an expression of presenting a treasure, holding the rabbit out toward the cradle, his honest face full of "Big brother treats you well": "I just caught this, it's so fat! It's super delicious when roasted!"
"..." Nalan Ruo and Ji Taimei had black lines on their faces.
"Zhentian! Little sister is a vegetarian! She is a Wood-element Spirit Body and cannot eat these bloody things!" Nalan Ruo quickly blocked the rabbit.
"Huh? Vegetarian?" Wang Zhentian was stunned, looking at the fat rabbit in his hand, then looking at his little sister who was sucking on wood, a trace of deep sympathy appearing in his eyes.
"So pitiful... actually only able to gnaw on wood..." "Little sister, if you get skinny from hunger in the future, big brother will share his own meat for you to eat!"
The Fourth seemed to understand her big brother's words; she stopped her actions, tilted her head, and looked at this big, hulking brother who was radiating heat and the smell of sweat.
Although the smell wasn't good, the sense of intimacy from their shared Bloodline on him couldn't be fake.
"Giggle, giggle..." The Fourth laughed, reached out her little hand, and lightly tapped toward Wang Zhentian.
"Hum β" A soft green light flew out from her fingertips and landed on Wang Zhentian's mud-covered arm.
