348: Chapter 360 Is An Ke's sense of humor really that bad?

An Ke finally selected Kata as the foreman.

The reason was simple: Kata was a modern person.

In terms of thinking and ideas, he could understand An Ke's blueprint well and was less prone to making mistakes.

He might even bring innovation, making up for some details that An Ke hadn't thought of.

This way, An Ke could save some worry and focus all his energy on other matters.

If he handed it over to the savages, An Ke would have to keep an eye on them from time to time, which would be far too mentally taxing.

Previously, An Ke didn't understand why many large manufacturers didn't include all industries within their own company.

Instead, they chose to outsource and divide the labor.

Now An Ke understood; what one person can do is very limited. Only through team division and cooperation can development happen.

Gathering his thoughts, An Ke first asked about the task he was giving Kata this time:

"Kata, can those Giant Grapes and the surrounding crops be transplanted?"

Crops can't be transplanted just because there's land; one also needs to see if the new soil meets the growth conditions for that crop.

If it doesn't match, it will lead to poor growth or even failure to cultivate them at all.

Actually, An Ke didn't think it would be too much of a problem.

After all, on the same island, the soil quality shouldn't differ vastly.

However, this was in the National Fortune Game, and no one could say for sure, so he arranged for Kata to investigate.

Kata looked troubled. "Your Excellency, to be honest..."

"I can't figure it out."

As a laid-back rich second generation, Kata knew a little bit about many things, but he was a master of none.

The task An Ke assigned him was too difficult for him.

He couldn't find a clue at all.

He even used his mouth to taste the soil near the giant grape trees, and the result was—

He was an idiot.

He couldn't taste anything useful at all.

However, despite only knowing a bit about everything, his brain was still quite sharp, and he thought of a good method.

"Your Excellency, I think we can choose not to transplant them yet, but instead use seeds to cultivate them ourselves first."

"If they grow well, it means the conditions for transplanting are met."

"If they don't grow well, it means the conditions aren't met, and we won't lose a batch of mature crops because of it."

An Ke nodded upon hearing this, thinking Kata's idea was quite good.

"Good!"

"We'll do exactly as you said."

Kata was delighted; he had originally been afraid An Ke would find him useless.

"Next, I will mark out all the fruits, vegetables, and even medicinal herbs on the island for you."

"When you have time, I'll need to trouble you to collect the seeds."

"When spring comes next year, we can cultivate them directly."

Kata was slightly shocked. Mark out all the fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs on the island??

Was Lord An Ke that incredible?

How did he have this information?

Outside, the live broadcast room was similarly shocked by An Ke's words.

After the shock came great joy.

With An Ke having this information, not only could he thrive in the National Fortune Game, but it also meant that as long as he had time, he could provide Thousand Times Materialization of various fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs for Dragon Country at any time.

The Foreigners in the live broadcast room were originally deformed with jealousy.

But they soon realized that if An Ke gave the information on these fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs to Kata...

Then they could also obtain this information through the live stream.

In front of a live broadcast, there are no secrets!

High-level officials from various countries all arranged for dedicated personnel to stare fixedly at the Dragon Country Live Stream Room.

They would record all the information An Ke was about to mark out.

Then they would immediately send bullet comments to their own country's players.

Under the gaze of almost the entire world, inside the live broadcast room.

An Ke suddenly looked up and grinned:

"Have you all taken out your little notebooks and planned to write this down?"

"Heh~ I'm just playing with you."

To the side, Kata was first stunned, but quickly thought of the live broadcast.

If An Ke told him, it would undoubtedly be exposed to other countries as well.

Kata secretly sucked in a breath of cold air; Lord An Ke was truly vigilant.

If it were him, he likely wouldn't have even thought about it before marking out the relevant information.

In that case, other countries would have gotten a huge bargain.

Outside, the high-level officials of various countries were gnashing their teeth in anger.

"This guy is too disgusting, isn't he?"

"What an annoying fellow."

"Why does he have such a heavy wicked sense of humor?"

"..."

They had originally thought they could get a huge bargain, but they didn't expect to be played by An Ke.

How unlucky.

On the Dragon Country side, Elder Li and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, An Ke didn't mark the resource locations, otherwise it would have benefited people from other countries.

If everyone just went to materialize the resources after finding them, that would be one thing.

The fear was that some selfish countries would immediately destroy the site after their own Thousand Times Materialization.

Depriving latecomers of the chance to materialize—this wasn't to say they thought human nature was that bad.

It was because many countries had done this before.

Besides, human nature is inherently evil...

In fact, An Ke really had intended to mark the resource locations for Kata just now.

Fortunately, he reacted in time to minimize the loss.

Otherwise, it would have been a huge loss.

An Ke sternly warned himself in his heart to always remain vigilant in the future.

"Kata, next you will be responsible for the 'South-to-North Water Diversion' and the construction of the artificial lake project."

"No problem, Your Excellency." Kata's expression was serious.

"Explain the planning blueprint to me once, and I guarantee I will complete the task perfectly."

An Ke explained all the plans to Kata, and the latter listened with extreme focus.

Outside, the Foreigners who were played by An Ke started looking for trouble, intending to sow discord between Dragon Country and Rich Dog Country.

"Rich Dog Country, can your country still sit still even now?"

"An Ke making Kata do things is just to restrain him, making it impossible for him to explore or perform Thousand Times Materialization."

"Going to be someone's beast of burden without getting any benefits—he won't even give your country's player the coordinates for resources."

"Oh my! Your country is truly pitiful!"

"You're being sold out by Dragon Country and still helping them count the money."

"..."

Don't underestimate this kind of public opinion attack; there were actually some strange people who thought it made sense.

Even though An Ke's influence in Rich Dog Country was currently very large and most people loved and respected him...

There were still people who were brainwashed and stood up to protest.

They felt that Kata shouldn't be working for An Ke.

However, the Foreigners' scheme was quickly debunked by An Ke's actual actions.

Inside the broadcast.

Once Kata fully understood the plan, An Ke smiled:

"Kata, you don't need to worry about being unable to explore the second stage of the dungeon next."

"I will give you two options to choose from."

Option one: You don't need to participate in the entire process; focus on the infrastructure of the Camp. Afterward, you will receive 20% of whatever I gain from each exploration in the second stage.

Option two: You follow me to explore the second stage of the dungeon together. During that time, the gains will be distributed according to contribution..."
