"Is there anything the three of you want to report?" Mu Qing Lang may start the audience with the trio without asking, but to know more would be better than not knowing it at all.
"Reporting to my Lord, ten female goblins gave birth, but their talent is mediocre to be compared to the three kids. As for the Goblin Mother, a hundred of them gave birth in the last ten days period, giving us four hundred and ninety goblin infants." Qing Yi reported as the leader of the three.
"So they already found the candidates to become the Goblin Mother? A hundred of them on top of that..." the increases of 500 goblins into their number is a piece of great news, but knowing how they came made Mu Qing Lang somewhat unacceptable.
"As for those older members, 25 of them evolved into Goblin Gatherers, 4 Goblin Leaders, 40 Hobgoblins, and one Goblin Champion," Guan Yi added to the report.
"Seventy evolved goblins? Quite a good report to know." Mu Qing Lang's mood is elevated by what Guan Yi reported.
"Bring me the Goblin Champion," Mu Qing Lang ordered. Guan Yi clapped his hand three times again to order the Goblin Champion to come in.
"This Goblin Champion greets my Lord, directors, and officials!" the Goblin Champion kneeled and paid respects to those present in this Meeting Hall.
"Good."
"From today onwards, you'll be named Guan Er." Mu Qing Lang named the Goblin Champion first before he continued.
"THANK YOU, my Lord!" Guan Er kowtowed to Mu Qing Lang three times before he shifts his gaze back to the master.
"Xiao Qing... Anything from you?" although the reports from Qing Yi and Guan Yi related to the increases in the number of goblins and number of evolved, the new from Xiao Qing is what he was waiting for the most.
"My lord, the report is going to make you happy." Xiao Qing's remarks made Mu Qing Lang immediately smiled.
"The poppy seeds that cultivated using Pure Growth Crystals is finally bearing the fruit of results. The Medicinal Opium Latex gathered from each plant reaches 2gm, about 0.6gm more than before." Xiao Qing first report is related to the Chang Empress Poppy Plant.
"Second plant that I am going to bring up would be the Prairie's Baneseed Plant. After some research and mix-match between plants, your subject successfully mixed the Iron Tail Grass, Acidic Weed, and Prairie's Baneseed Plant together into a new plant."
"Fruits that are grown by this plant is significantly better than the berries grown from the Prairie's Baneseed Plant. And at the same time, the yield is two times better than what the Prairie's Baneseed Plant can grow." Xiao Qing opened the Bamboo backpack that was customized for his needs.
One has to praise Luoyi for her skills in this field. The Bamboo Backpack durability is exceptional, with a total of six compartments with its own coverings to differentiate which is which. Easy to move around and durable, it could both keep material safe while going around.
A small bamboo basket that capable of fitting a loaf of oven-baked bread is withdrawn from the backpack. Inside holds three fruits similar to an orange in size, but more towards grapes in texture and appearance. If this was the replacement fruit for the berries, it's going to be something unimaginable.
"I'll check them on my own later. I see you got many things inside of the backpack, so I assume you've got more to tell me?" Mu Qing Lang accepted the bamboo basket of fruits and continue with his question.
"Subject indeed have a third surprise. Do master still remember the Stone Cornfruit that was so difficult to open?" Xiao Qing did not know that his sentence would bring back some painful and disgraceful memories for Mu Qing Lang.
"Ai... Of course, I remember it." Mu Qing Lang answered.
"Your subject not only found the way to open it but had modified it with Prairie Sugar Root Plant. This new kind of Stone Cornfruit taste better than the one grown in Hundred Beast Forest, and in term of sweetness, it is also two times sweeter."
"Would my Lord inspect this kernels too and verify your subject's research on the plant?" Xiao Qing took another bamboo basket out with three kernels inside for Mu Qing Lang.
"Hahaha! Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing..."
"Excellent job!" Mu Qing Lang's third praises in this meeting gave Xiao Qing a proper recognization on what he was doing until now. At the same time, it allowed those present in this Meeting Hall to understand the kind of people and quality he's looking for.
"I pass down my instructions now." Mu Qing Lang pondered about it for a moment before he decided on what kind of task they should take.
"Xiao Qing shall continue with what you're doing. If you can start to educate a few potential goblins to become your assistant, that would be better. Remember that there is no such thing as too many teachers in a settlement, only too many knowledge for us to unfold."
"Qing Yi, I want to see the Prairie Goblin Tribe expand their numbers past 1,000 goblins. Inform the Goblin Mothers that they would be paid handsomely for their help."
"Han Xi, cooperate with Qing Yi and make sure that the first batch of Goblin Mothers is paid five pills per person, and make it a regular practice for those accepting the task to become a Goblin Mother."
"The Goblin Mother's shall have her meal provided by the Eastern Changzhou itself, to protect their wellbeing until birth. Han Xi, can you complete this task on my behalf?" Mu Qing Lang instructed the two goblins and Han Xi at the same time.
"Your subjects will complete the task using their life!" Qing Yi, Xiao Qing, and Han Xi replied to his question at the same time.
"As for Guan Yi, apart of the training of Prairie's First Calvary Platoon, continue with what you're doing now. Guide Qing Er to help you in your task until he's capable." Mu Qing Lang instructed Guan Yi next, also to assign Guan Er to follow Guan Yi's order for now until he's used to his duties.
"Tiezu-Wu, Tiezu-Gu, and Tong-Li come forth to the center for your task!" Mu Qing Lang summoned the Orcs next, which consist of two different tribes in the discussion.
"Your subject Tiezu-Wu (Tiezu-Gu, Tong-li) pay respect to my lord." the trio came forward and half-kneeled before Mu Qing Lang.
"Go ahead with the reports." Mu Qing Lang waved his hand from one side to another and giving out the presence of the lord.
"The Tiezu-Orcs is facing some difficulties recently. As the younger generations are still growing up, we had a lower number of evolved orcs this time. In total, only 100 Young-Orcs evolved." Tiezu-Wu reported.
"As for the Bronzeskin-Orcs, fifty Young-Orcs emerged from adulthood along with two-hundred and fifty Prairie Bronze Piglets is born." Tong-Li followed next with the accomplishments of their Bronzeskin-Orcs tribe.
"Anything from you, Tiezu-Gu?" it was a weird thing for Tiezu-Gu, the immatured High-Orcs in the tribe to keep quiet. And on the disappointing report from Tiezu-Wu is understandable as they already did their best for the few previous adulthoods.
"Tiezu-Gu does have something to report, but I hope both brothers Tiezu-Wu and Tong-Li approval." Tiezu-Gu stares at his two Orc brothers. After thinking about it for a short minute, they both nodded.
"So... What is so secretive about your report? I hope it's interesting to my ears," Mu Qing Lang added and even had his head went a little forward due to the anticipation.
"We're trying to crossbreed between the Iron Skin Boars and Prairie Bronze Boars. At the moment, we failed three times, but succeed once. If my Lord can give us more time and resources, we might make it possible." Tiezu-Gu replied, but his reply lack of a proper attitude and speaking tone.
"Gu! Lower your voice when you're taking to milord!" Tiezu-Wu turned around and warned him.
"I have something that can push the success and failure rate forward, but in return for the push, sacrifice is needed. Are you dare to try?" Mu Qing Lang remembered the usage of Evolving Suppressant and Stimulant in his pocket and looking at the situation now, it was the best time to use them.
"This is Evolving Stimulant. It enhances the evolving possibility of a creature in exchange for its future prospect. And this is the Evolving Suppressant, which capable of suppressing the evolving process of a target and push it to the next time."
"I suggest the two tribes continue in two different paths, one using suppressants and another using stimulant. Take note that both ways have their own potential to be unlocked but to unlock them, it will cost nothing else but the life itself."
"Do the two tribes dare to challenge this?" Mu Qing Lang gave them the option to choose. One tribe will choose the Stimulating path, while another will proceed with the Suppressing Path. Both have their own attraction and danger, but only one might successfully walk through this trial of crossbreeding.
"Milord, Brother Wu, please approve Tong-Li's recklessness and imbecile act to chose the Stimulating Path!" as the one with a smaller number, Tong-Li must choose the Stimulating Path to cruise through all the obstacles.
"What do you think?" Mu Qing Lang exchange a glance with Tiezu-Wu.
"Milord, The Tiezu-Orcs will choose the Suppressing Path then!" Tiezu-Wu accepted the mission.
"Then I'll look forward to the two tribes and your results!" Mu Qing Lang approved their request and tossed the bag with suppressants to Tiezu-Wu and the one with Stimulants to Tong-Li.
"Han Xi! Step forth for your assignments!" Mu Qing Lang summoned Han Xi at last after he was neglected earlier in the meeting. With Mu Qing Lang's habits in dealing with important matter last, Han Xi's assignment cannot be underestimated.
"Subject Han Xi awaits my Lord's order." Han Xi kneeled before Mu Qing Lang.
"From today onwards, you will be in charge of handling the immigration and the registration of settlers into Eastern Changzhou and also the wellbeing of the eight tribes. This department will be named as Eastern Changzhou Resident Department."
"To make it easier for all of you, this means that from today onwards, Han Xi will be officially promoted into the Chief Director of Eastern Changzhou!"
