Chapter 284: Chapter 263: A Wine That Can Cure Nearsightedness! Truly Black-Hearted

While Lin Jiao led her people to secure the weapons and Wang Cheng excavated the Mutant Beast Crystal Cores, Lu Feng turned his attention to the beasts’ corpses.

Orbs of light floated above them.

This was the dropped loot.

He hadn’t been paying attention earlier, but it seemed quite a lot of loot had dropped.

He casually walked over and collected everything into his backpack space.

[Life Potion x1!]

[Energy Potion x3!]

[Special Space Exchange Token x5!]

[Special Bone x2. This is the bone of a special type of Mutant Beast. It’s rare for even a single Mutant Beast within an entire race to develop such a bone. A Mutant Beast that possesses this bone is destined to become a Beast King.

Furthermore, this type of Mutant Beast has exceptional eyesight. If this special bone is cracked open and steeped in wine, drinking the concoction can cure nearsightedness!]

Most of these drops were things he’d gotten before. What was surprising was that five Special Space Exchange Tokens had dropped at once.

He used them without hesitation, and his backpack space expanded instantly. Now, there was enough room to fit a whole car with no problem at all.

Beyond that, what really caught Lu Feng’s attention was the Special Bone.

’This thing can actually cure nearsightedness if you steep it in wine?’

’The effect seems a bit useless at first, but if you think about it... in the real world, if the properties of this wine could be deciphered and mass-produced, wouldn’t that be absolutely game-changing?’

’How many nearsighted people are there in the real world? He’d seen a news report that said there were something like 1.8 billion, with more than half of them in the Dragon Country.’

’Besides, glasses for nearsightedness are different from other types. The stronger the prescription, the more pronounced a certain effect becomes: the wearer’s eyes appear smaller when seen through the lenses.’

’The stronger the prescription, the more severe the effect. That’s why some people say that people who wear glasses look creepy.’

’You could say that with a prescription over 700 degrees, the eyes look disproportionate to the face. Over 1000 degrees, they basically look like slits.’

’In that state, even if you’re a kind person, if you stare at a girl for a second, she’ll think you’re a creep.’

’Some people are gorgeous or handsome, but their good looks are sealed away behind a pair of thick glasses.’

’That’s why, after laser eye surgery became available, so many people couldn’t resist getting it done.’

’Unfortunately, the surgery has too many potential side effects and requires so much post-operative care that many people are daunted by the prospect.’

’If they could skip the surgery and just drink a special wine to be cured, would they buy it?’

’Of course they would, no matter the cost.’

’This could be another cash cow for the Xuanfeng Alliance.’

’After all, the Xuanfeng Alliance already has Dream-Returning Wine. Adding another miraculous wine to the product line shouldn’t be a problem, right?’

Then, Lu Feng looked at his character status screen.

But this time, the gain that truly amazed him was his experience points.

Level: LV14

Experience: 428,765/819,200.

’420,000 experience from a single battle.’

’Was that even possible?’

’In other words, he must have killed around 200 members of the Cannibal Race and the Beastman Race when he charged in with the mecha’s weapons.’

’That amount of experience was insane.’

’The fact that the Beastman Race could hold out against the City East Alliance for so long meant one thing: they had a lot of members.’

Lu Feng’s eyes lit up. ’This is all experience,’ he thought. ’If I could lure the Beastman Race here and find a way to take them out, it would be countless times faster than grinding experience at Red Leaf Base.’

’The key is to find some weapons of mass destruction.’

’The Xuanfeng Alliance is on good terms with the Dragon Country now. I wonder if I could buy some high-powered, destructive weapons from them?’

’Something like a light nuclear weapon? A neutron bomb, for instance?’

’Even if the Dragon Country won’t sell, I could have Feisen and Fire Silica dip back into their old trade. I should be able to buy something on the international black market, right?’

’Some Capital Countries will sell anything as long as the price is right.’

At this thought, Lu Feng exited the game world. After appearing in Wind Manor, he immediately summoned Fire Silica and Feisen.

He decided to have the two of them handle it. Approaching the Dragon Country might arouse suspicion.

Before long, the two men appeared before Lu Feng, looking all respectable in their suits and ties. Feisen had even put on a pair of decorative gold-rimmed glasses.

Looking at them now, who would have thought they were former arms dealers?

However, with one of them now managing diplomacy and the other running the banking system, it made sense that they had changed their appearances.

"Your Excellency!"

Seeing Lu Feng, the two men said respectfully in unison.

Lu Feng got straight to the point. "Fire Silica, Feisen, you two used to be in the arms business. Is there any way to get our hands on nuclear weapons? Something like a small neutron bomb would do?"

"What?" said Fire Silica.

"???" said Feisen.

The question left both of them stunned.

After a long moment, Fire Silica spoke awkwardly. "Your Excellency, that kind of weapon has too much of an impact. Even when we had the channels, we never dared to get involved. Think about those Hollywood movies. Do the guys who deal in nuclear warheads ever get a happy ending? Those movies aren’t just nonsense. Art imitates life, and some of those stories are adapted from real events."

Feisen added, "But one thing is certain: no one who deals in those kinds of weapons comes to a good end."

Fire Silica spoke again. "But now that we have the Xuanfeng Alliance backing us... we might be able to get our hands on something small. Something not too powerful, maybe semi-obsolete."

"So you *can* get them?" Hearing this, Lu Feng immediately gave his orders. "Do what you can to acquire them. I need those things."

Fire Silica and Feisen exchanged a look.

They had no idea why he wanted this kind of weapon. Was it to bolster the Xuanfeng Alliance’s defenses?

Unable to figure it out, they decided to stop thinking about it and respectfully took their leave.
