Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 339 - 338 Expand production capacity

"Jin Xiang! It stinks to high heaven! Clean this up now!"

Jin Xiang frowned upon hearing this, deciding not to nitpick with his mother.

He looked at the huge puddles of excrement on the ground, "What on earth is this stuff? Maybe it has some special effect?"

Knock knock knock!

Jin Xiang heard the knocking on the window and looked up. When he saw what was at the window, he was startled for a moment, then let out an "Ah!" as he stumbled backward, falling to the floor.

Then he saw a masked stranger perched there, twisting their head to look at him, with what seemed to be a mixture of helplessness and disdain in their eyes.

Jin Xiang watched the stranger in terror, "Who are you!"

"Hehehehe, it doesn’t matter who I am. All you need to know is that you’ve been cursed with my Daoist magic, and unless I help you lift it, every step you take from now on will be followed by the immensely yin and inherently evil Heavenly One True Water, eternally generating beneath your feet, without beginning or end, never ceasing, never resting..."

Christina couldn’t help saying to herself, "Not bad, Zhou Bai, quite the silver tongue."

’No shit. If you had even a third of my ability, you wouldn’t be struggling to put on a show.’

"What!" Jin Xiang looked at the other party with a shocked expression, chilled to the bone at the devilish words and the thought of spending the rest of his life shrouded in filth.

He glanced at the filth on the ground, "Heavenly One True Water? Is this not just..."

"You think this is poop?" Zhou Bai scoffed, "Idiot, do you really believe there’s a Daoist magic that conjures up excrement from thin air? What kind of fool would create such a spell?"

Jin Xiang nodded subconsciously, which matched his earlier thoughts after awakening his bloodline.

Zhou Bai said, "This is Heavenly One True Water, disguised as filth so it can strike unexpectedly, undetectable and unpreventable. Which master would be on guard after seeing a puddle of this stuff?"

Jin Xiang was secretly shocked, ’To think of disguising Heavenly One True Water like this, indeed, it’s unexpected. The one who came up with this is truly clever.’

Then, he suddenly turned his attention towards the direction of the rest of his house, worrying whether his parents had heard the commotion and whether the stranger would harm them.

But he heard the stranger say, "Your parents have already been knocked out by me, don’t worry, they’re not in danger. You’re the only one I’m interested in."

Jin Xiang looked at the masked figure with grief and anger, "What exactly do you want!"

The stranger chuckled sinisterly, probing, "You’re not a mole for Heavenly Demon in Beihai City, are you?"

Hearing this, Jin Xiang’s face paled.

Seeing his reaction, Zhou Bai was certain, "So you are a mole for Heavenly Demon. This guy’s way too easy to read, why would Heavenly Demon recruit someone like this? Just an ordinary person with hardly any cultivation - and they take him on as a mole?"

Under Zhou Bai’s interrogation and the threat of the filth under his feet, Jin Xiang, the ordinary man, quickly caved under the pressure and wept as he spilled everything he knew.

Zhou Bai chuckled, "I can lift the Daoist magic from you, but you need to lead me to your comrades. You know other moles, right?"

...

Beihai City worker Wang He suddenly opened his eyes and turned towards the door, where a rustling noise seemed to be coming from the darkness.

"Who’s there!"

No one answered, but Wang He could feel as if a pair of eyes were watching him from the darkness.

The next moment, an intense stench wafted from the darkness, causing Wang He to cover his nose in alarm, "What is that foul smell?!"

Jin Xiang emerged with a mournful face, "Uncle Wang, it’s me."

Wang He was taken aback, "Did you fall into a cesspool?"

Jin Xiang shook his head, "Uncle Wang, this is Heavenly One True Water, don’t be deceived by its appearance. It’s very dangerous."

Wang He: "..."

The next moment, Wang He felt an overwhelming force and blacked out.

...

A knock at the door stirred the Beihai City food factory worker Sun Jian, who frowned, "Who is it, coming at this late hour?"

"It’s me, Brother Sun Jian, I have an urgent matter."

"Jin Xiang?" Sun Jian furrowed his brow and stepped forward to open the door. "What are you doing here so late..." As the door opened, a stench hit him in the face, startling Sun Jian. "What’s that smell on you!"

"It’s Heavenly Water, I’ve added some Heavenly Water to his body." A voice came from the rooftop, and when Sun Jian looked up, he saw a half-naked figure clinging to the ceiling, his face covered, his eyes excitedly staring at him.

"Who are you? What do you want?!"

Jin Xiang tried to explain, "Brother Sun, he knows we are the traitors. You should come with us. I’ve been affected by his magic, I must obey him or suffer the consequences."

Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, then furious the next, "You little traitor, you betrayed me?!"

"Stop the nonsense, just come with me."

The two felt a powerful force of Primordial Spirit envelop them, sweeping them away directly.

...

Zhou Bai thus captured Jin Xiang and continued to apprehend people, plucking them like radishes, bringing out clumps of dirt as he pulled, and in one breath, he caught more than twenty Heavenly Demon spies, bringing them all to an open area used for martial practice.

Although they encountered some guards along the way, Zhou Bai was merely passing through the most common civilian areas, where the guards were very weak, and with his current strength and the concealment provided by Christina’s Shadow Map, no one noticed them.

While walking, Zhou Bai recalled the intelligence gathered from these people.

Almost all had unwittingly obtained various communication devices made by the Heavenly Demons, allowing direct contact with the Heavenly Demon.

These people also had little to no cultivation and belonged to the civilians of Beihai City.

’Most civilians must certainly hate the Heavenly Demon, but in a population of over a hundred million, it’s impossible that there wouldn’t be anyone willing to surrender. Did the Heavenly Demon take advantage of this loophole?’ Zhou Bai thought, ’But why does Beihai City try to recruit from within the civilians, whereas in Donghua City, it seems to start from the upper echelons?

Is the Heavenly Demon’s strategy in Beihai City to grow from the bottom up? Why?’

’According to these spies, they have never met anyone who has truly completed the Heavenly Demon’s reincarnation process; it seems that the Heavenly Demon really just uses them to gather intelligence.’

’Never mind, this matter should be left for Beihai City to investigate later.’

While thinking this, Zhou Bai brought the twenty or so underlings developed by the Heavenly Demon to the center of the field. Looking at the two groups of people standing opposite each other, Zhou Bai said, "Now start running. Don’t stop until I say so. Got it?"

The group exchanged looks, and then with a bang, Zhou Bai stamped his foot on the platform. As it shook violently, he threatened, "Run! Anyone who doesn’t run dies!"

Jin Xiang immediately shouted, "Everybody run, as long as we keep running, we won’t die!"

As Jin Xiang was the first to start, the others also began to run, and Zhou Bai activated his Catastrophe Domain right behind them.

In an instant, as the twenty or so people ran, masses of filth continuously formed at their feet, and with each passing second, the collective output of these twenty people amounted to filth half their height on the platform.

But Zhou Bai was not satisfied with the output. Looking at a few of them, he said, "Why run so fast? Now, walk slowly."

To walk slowly meant their feet would be soaking in the filth, and their hostility towards the masked Zhou Bai grew instantly. With greater hostility, more filth was produced, making Zhou Bai’s eyes shine.

Jin Xiang reassured everyone, "Don’t panic, everyone. It looks dirty, but it is actually Heavenly Water."

In the meantime, Zhou Bai sold all the filth in one go and calculated, "No good, the maximum they can produce per second right now can only sell for 100 points of Laziness Value, but my Catastrophe Domain is consuming 1000 Laziness Value every second.

I must get them to expand production to be able to harvest their fortune over time in a sustainable way.

To expand production, I need to increase their hostility."

With that thought, Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit force surged, and the filth on the ground shot up into the sky.

"When you eat, do you prefer spicy or salt and pepper?"

In an instant, the platform erupted with screams.

"I confess! I’ll tell you everything, just please—"

"Stop, I’ll tell you anything you want to know—"

"To hell with this ’Heavenly Water’! This is just—"

Zhou Bai commanded, "Don’t stop, keep walking, anyone who stops is looking for death."

As the hatred of the spies was magnified and reached its peak, Zhou Bai’s Catastrophe Domain finally started breaking even, selling for about 1000 Laziness Value per second.
