Chapter 258 – Local Florida Men Saved Tourist Man from Ferocious Cannibal Disguising as Middle-Schooler. Cops Arrested the Tourist Later for Attempting to Groom Minor.

Agriculture Realm

Worker mannequins from various warehouses and free workers created by Leo's gacha entered and left the realm, transporting goods to their respective headquarters. Everybody walked in a single line like working ants while enduring the intense gravity of this planet.

It had been days since this realm's creation. Sierra, the current governor of this land, spent all day plowing and expanding more farmland. She had been working nonstop.

Sierra might be a clone of a real Tauron Princess. However, she also shared a hive-mind with other mannequins of Leo's store. She quickly learned the general situation of the restaurants and understood what the facilities were in urgent need.

Even though the system farms generated countless giant wheat, it would only sit in a granary or a spatial ring due to the low consumption rate. In addition, wheat wasn't enough. They needed a more variety of crops, vegetables, fruits, salt, sugar, and other spices.

While plowing an empty grassland, Sierra took off her dress and squeezed some of her milk on the ground. She injected her Qi into the liquid in the soil and activated her dao.

Sugar cane sprouts budded and emerged from the ground. Although its growth rate was far inferior to the system's crops, it gradually extended.

"…"

Sierra frowned and gazed at her rough and blistered palms. She hated the touch of her hands.

"I wish Lord could milk me…"

The complaints didn't enter Leo's ears but the working mannequins' non-existing ears. The female mannequins flinched while the male mannequins almost collapsed to the ground. Some of them gave Sierra a weird look.

Fortunately, the mannequins possess no sexual desire. They simply thought of Sierra as a weirdo among the consciousnesses in the hive mind.

Noticing the gazes from the crowd, Sierra snorted. "What? You've got a problem?"

Everybody looked away and resumed working. A few male mannequins secretly looked at their wooden hands and simulated a squeezing motion. Because of the lewd movements, they got bonked by other female mannequins.

The peaceful days in the realm continued until changes occurred outside.

"Have you heard about the new steaks?"

"Yeah. You have to be stupid to not pay attention to those restaurants!"

"Yup. The steaks are not only delicious, but it's also good for cultivation!"

"Don't forget. It's impurity-free! You know my fatty niece, right? She has no talent in cultivation at all, but her father spent a fortune to buy her the steak. Do you know what happened? She has become a beauty, and she's now a soul formation cultivator!"

"Only soul formation cultivator? Man, your niece is a wastrel! I also ate one. Look at my cultivation base! It was Golden Core before. But now, I'm a quasi-immortal! Situ Nantian? Yan Xiang? I'm a super expert now!"

"You arrogant little shit! Super expert? Have you seen the people of Tang Clan and the Life Sword Sect? More immortals are being born every day in those restaurants!"

After Leo had added monster cow beef to the food ingredient, the restaurants became another main attraction of Leo's shopping mall. Commoners, newbie cultivators, and seasoned veterans gathered in front of the diners, admiring the menus. However, not everybody could afford the precious meat.

Every restaurant required their customers to pay with either essence stones or lifespan. Only rich merchants and established cultivators could enjoy the privilege.

Still, there were multiple ways to acquire essence stones. Working for Leo was one of the options. As a result, commoners who had just emerged as newbie cultivators flocked to Leo's shopping mall to apply for a job.

Unfortunately, Leo wasn't always around. His daily routine kept changing according to the shopping mall's needs. At the moment, he usually stayed in the library, visited the cow level, or helped the mannequins transporting goods from the agriculture realm.

Still, the prospective employees were patient. They gathered on the shopping mall's third floor, hoping to get his attention. The number of job seekers started increasing every hour. From 100 to 1,000, from 1,000 to 5,000, the mall got crowded with cultivators and commoners.

The crowd indeed got the attention of the Life Sword Sect's elders and the Tang Clan's members.

Sixth Element Sect's Alchemy Workshop, East of Florida Domain

The workshop was a copy of Leo's workshops when they were outside his shopping mall. Tang Xuan and Tang Tian were the ones who built it so that the sect's disciples could have a place to study and research.

Unfortunately, most disciples chose to visit the workshops in the shopping mall to learn from the mannequins. Only a few elders stayed behind to concoct their pills.

Bao Xun was one of the old-school elders. He was 7 feet tall, 250 pounds in weight, and slightly muscular. His iconic smooth bald head and hairless face earned him the nickname of Second Sun, which was his current Daoist name. In addition, his green iris and black sclera always intimidated his disciples and peers.

"I heard Sect Master Tang and his ancestor are entering seclusion. Is that true?" Bao Xun inquired his colleagues.

"Yes. I heard they have purchased pills and books from the store. They have left a message that they won't come out anytime soon."

As Tang Xuan and Tang Tian had purchased a lot of goodies from Leo's store, both elders stopped idling around. They entered seclusion to cultivate and stabilize what they had gained from Leo's food, pills, and books.

Without the two pillars of the Tang Clan and the Sixth Element Sect, elders of the sect temporarily took control of their alchemists while the Tang Clan operated normally.

Both the Sixth Element Sect and the Tang Clan functioned as one whenever Tang Tian was around. However, when Tang Tian was busy, the task of management fell into the hands of Bao Xun.

Bao Xun specialized in poison pills and all sorts of poisonous substances. He also worked as a sleeping agent for Yan Xiang, and he was in charge of assassinating every promising youngster who refused to work for the emperor.

After Yan Xiang and his family had fallen, Bao Xun became independent. But as a soul transformation cultivator, he realized that he couldn't survive in this world without a backer.

Leo's emergence gave Bao Xun a new hope. He wished to follow Leo and eat some scraps that he might leave behind. However, Tang Xuan and Tang Tian monopolized most of the goodies, which annoyed Bao Xun.

With both elders out of the picture for some time, Bao Xun decided to come out of their shadows to get closer to Leo. However, there was a problem.

Leo never stayed in one place for long. Whenever he did, countless people flocked after him to get his attention. This troubled Bao Xun.

"I think it's about time for us to visit Lord Florida Man. What do you say?" Asked Bao Xun.

The other elders shook their heads. Everybody disagreed.

"Lord Florida Man is someone out of our league. We should respect our differences in status and keep a respectable distance. Only when he summons us, we shall seek his audience."

Bao Xun was annoyed, "But if we stay here, we will never get to enjoy what Lord Florida Man has made for us. He only delegated us a task to protect the commoners, but he never shows up to guide us!"

"He has already helped us greatly. Everybody receives 30 essence stones every month for what we're doing. Don't you think it's a bit greedy to ask for more for what we've been doing? We pretty much have been freeloading him this entire time."

"Not at all! We are cultivators. We follow stronger ones in the hopes of getting recognition. We're not here to just sit here and beg for 30 essence stones a month. We need to strive to get Lord Florida Man's attention like what Elder Tang Tian and Ancestor Tang Xuan did!"

"And what are you going to do? Be shameless and go see him while he is busy?"

Bao Xun snorted. He was tired of the lazy elders. "Shyness hinders one's growth. We need to be shameless to get something in return!"

"…As you wish. I wish you luck."

The elders ended the conversation and continued concocting pills as usual.

Bao Xun had enough. He stomped out of the workshop. Making his way to the shopping mall, he flew toward the center of Florida Domain.

Coincidentally, someone had just returned from a seclusion. A mysterious dark elf teenager donning in vine dress walked on the road barefeet. Her outward appearance and height resembled a middle-schooler, but she exuded the aura of an earth-celestial immortal.

"Nom-Nom Meow…" (I'm hungry. I hate walking like a human. I wish I still had roots and vines.)

Cat had completed her humanoid transformation. As a newbie, she didn't know how to fly or use a light-feet technique.

Bao Xun noticed the aura of an immortal. He stopped flying. After landing in front of Cat, he cupped his fist to pay respect. The greedy elder didn't waste time trying to gain a connection with one of Leo's people.

"Greetings, fairy. I'm Bao Xun of the Sixth Element Sect. I think this is the first time we've met. Would you mind telling me which affiliate are you from?"

"Hmm?"

Cat turned her attention to the stranger. As she didn't know how to react, she depended on her muscle memory.

"Nom-Nom Meow?" (Uncle, do you have food? I'm hungry.)

"What?"

Bao Xun had seen Cat in her monster form several times in the past, but he never interacted with her. Thus, he was taken aback by her nom-nom language.

"No Nom-Nom?" (No food?)

"Umm, what's nom-nom?"

"Nom-Nom Meow!" (Nom-Nom is delicious food! Do you have one?)

"…I don't understand what you're saying."

Bao Xun and Cat awkwardly looked at each other. A few seconds later, Cat's stomach growled.

The growl soon developed into a roar. It was so loud that everybody nearby turned around to look at them. Then, the disciples of the sixth element sect noticed their elders.

"Elder Bao? What is he doing over there with that… girl?"

Another disciple frowned as he noticed the long ears of Cat. "Is that girl one of Lord Florida Man's bodyguards? They have long ears like her."

"But their skin color is lighter."

"You racist bastard! What's wrong with skin color?! Haven't you seen the people from the south? They're beautifully tanned!"

"SORRY!"

Their conversation caused a commotion. Everybody started paying attention to the strange girl.

Meanwhile, Cat couldn't take it anymore. Her eyes span.

"Nom-Nom Meow?" (Uncle, you smell like one of those poisonous mushrooms. Can I eat you?)

"Err…what?"

Cat opened her mouth wide and salivated. But before she could expand her head size and gobble Bao Xun whole, a working mannequin carrying a large chunk of mad cow's belly meat turned into Tom Brady; He threw the meat which accurately entered her mouth.

"MUFFU!!"

Cat was surprised at first. But when she tasted the sweetness of the belly fat, she started chewing in glee.

The working mannequin patted his hands and gave Bao Xun a thumbs up. Then, he left without elaborating like a chad.

"???"

Bao Xun was confused. He hadn't realized yet that he had just escaped the death penalty for not paying the nom-nom tax.

Still, some of the Life Sword Sect disciples who had been observing them realized who Cat was. He muttered.

"That language… Isn't she 'CAT'?!"

As soon as the name was mentioned, other local cultivators started recognizing her.

"Cat? T-T-THAT CAT?! THE MONSTER PLANT?!"

"Wait a minute! High-ranking monsters can transform into a human! Don't tell me…"

"IT'S CAT, YOU FOOL! DON'T FORGET TO PAY THE NOM-NOM TAX, OR SHE'LL EAT YOU!!"

"SHIT!"

Several spectating cultivators rumbled through their spatial rings and fetched several packages of food. They rushed toward Cat and put the food down in front of her as a tribute while they knelt.

Cat smiled at the kind cultivators. She cheerfully patted their heads.

"Nom-Nom! NICE!"

"T-Thank you, young fairy."

The cultivators hurried away after receiving her blessing. They touched the hair that she had touched, which emitted a chilling air.

Her hand was full of extreme virgin yin energy. It threatened to freeze the cultivators. Fortunately, it didn't directly turn them into monsters like Leo's touch.

Again, Bao Xun looked around in confusion.

"What the hell is going on around here?"
