Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Short Videos Are Not Official Announcements (Part 3)
The online public opinion immediately reversed.
[So that’s how the million livestock came about, not easy at all.]
[If we keep them for breeding, although it’s still few, as long as they reproduce peacefully for a few years, the numbers will go up, that’s what we’re familiar with.]
[The Otherworld actually broke out in a global civil war, with countries in chaos. Isn’t this just the right time for us to launch a counterattack?]
[Don’t rush, let them fight it out first, once they’re mostly dead, we can go in and clean up, saving on ammo.]
[Exactly, that Otherworld planet will become new territory for our country. For long-term peace and stability, their population must be reduced. I can at most accept them as a minority of a million people.]
[Seconded +1]
[Seconded +2]
[Seconded +3]
[Managing to bring back a million livestock amid civil wars all over, it must be thanks to those secretive characters opening Transmission Ports everywhere, otherwise how could they compete with those armies robbing civilian supplies.]
[Even their own armies have started robbing civilian supplies, showing the global famine. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I wonder if there’ll be good news by the end of the year?]
[Their armies aren’t protecting farmlands, turning farms into battlefields. In the end, they’ll have nothing to eat themselves. Admirable.]
[Focusing only on one part while neglecting the other, just like primitive societies.]
[Otherwise, with their cross-dimensional abilities, if they had even a bit of intelligence to observe and think carefully, they could compare the difference in power between the two planets. Did they really think they could pull off a surprise attack and win just because of Space Transmission? Is this something a human brain can come up with?]
[You’re all discussing the bigger picture, but only I care about whether those livestock are tasty? Compared to hunting mutant beasts, what’s the meat yield like for livestock?]
Not just one netizen was asking online, many were inquiring about whether the livestock were tasty? If they’re sold in the future, how might their prices compare to local livestock?
The next day, a new official short video seemed to respond to these questions, showing a cooking test with the program crew and kitchen staff.
Viewers’ mouths watered as they watched.
[Wow, all the meat is usable, only the bones, organs, and blood can’t be eaten. Whenever they hit the market, I must buy some.]
[This is much more cost-effective than eating Mutant Beast Meat, which is expensive because of the low meat yield; only fish and shrimp have a normal yield.]
[Mutant Beast Meat doesn’t taste good, too gamey, definitely better with farm-raised ones.]
[Farm-raised ones don’t taste good either, didn’t you see them say the texture is only slightly finer than wild beasts, but still coarser than our poultry. Even castrated ones require a pressure cooker for a long time, with a lot of spices.]
[Well, that’s it, the million also includes castrated ones, the uncastrated can be used for breeding.]
[Coarse texture is fine, just cut into small pieces, simmer longer, it still becomes tender.]
[No worries about it not getting tender, see those restaurants specializing in Mutant Beast Meat, they use commercial pressure cookers for long periods, and it all turns tender, buy a better pot at home in the future.]
[Oh no, can’t gnaw on bones from the Otherworld’s livestock, no chicken wings, feet, or pig trotters to chew on.]
[You’re thinking too far ahead, let’s first focus on how many of this million livestock can survive and successfully breed?]
[True, I hope I can enjoy safe and delicious Otherworld chicken wings in my lifetime.]
[By the way, does this Otherworld have a name? Did they name their home planet?]
[I don’t know, I’m really curious.]
[Are there any captives? Any high-ranking captives?]
The official promotional channel is like a wishing well. Another day later, they released a new clip featuring the scattered prisoner camps in the wilderness.
The video thoughtfully added subtitles to each prisoner camp, all high-profile captives, Ye Nai had brought out from the Wizard Academy at that time, according to their wishes they were still placed with the Wizards.
Back at the academy, they served wizards and students, and now for them, it’s just an old trade.
Besides nearly 20,000 high-profile captives, a large group of Political Work Cadres also entered the border.
However, they didn’t show their faces, only their backs, to avoid affecting their work.
Netizens’ reactions were not as intense as in the previous days, but comments still poured in, surpassing ten million posts in just a few hours.
[Wow, amazing, all high-profile captives, even the King and Queen were captured. Doesn’t that mean their country is now destroyed?]
[This must be the work of secretive characters, truly impressive.]
[There must also be a special task force ready to swap out if anyone is injured. Secretive characters are responsible for precise delivery, capturing such high-risk captives on the front lines is something they don’t participate in, even a scratch won’t do, they’re truly like ancestors.]
[Definitely broken, as the video highlighted, the captured Royal Family was intact, including the King and Queen, their heir and other princes and princesses.]
[Am I the only curious one about which country this already destroyed nation is?]
[Wishing to the officials for more surprising new content tomorrow.]
[Wishing +1]

However, another day passed, and the new official short film didn’t fulfill netizens’ wishes, instead returning to the East Ridge Secret Realm to showcase the large farmland plots.
At the edge of the harvested and resting fields, sat hundreds of tons of fresh corn and soybeans; fields of well-growing radish and spinach sprouts; alfalfa fields being harvested by machines; and large tracts of farmland cultivated separately by civilians, low-level wizards, advanced military officers, and nobles.
The last minute of the video was another big advertisement, the crops grown in the Secret Realm contain a small amount of energy, even ordinary people can eat them, this will solve the shortage of agricultural land caused by the war at once.
Netizens drooled all over again.
[Wow, decades of common knowledge shattered, incredible!]
[Farming is possible in the Secret Realm, not even dared to dream of it.]
[I saw that corn, it looks like the white sticky corn sold on the street, I wonder if there’s genetic mutation after growing in the Secret Realm, mail me one to taste and I’ll know.]
[Hey, you up there, mind your own business.]
[The superpower I awakened is in my tongue, I can distinguish flavors, especially good at tasting and distinguishing the energy concentration in ingredients. I’m willing to test this corn and soybeans for free. If not possible, I’ll even try two roots of that alfalfa, I’m not picky.]
[I’m a Hunter myself, already sick of Mutant Beast Meat, both gamey and rough in texture. Will the crops go on sale next year? My demands aren’t high, just want staple food.]
[Have you ever thought about what all those captives eat? Surely, we can’t use our grain to feed them?]
[No way, right? They’re so big, our daily ration for adults is only enough for them for one meal, right?]
[Wow, that million livestock, are they also sharing a portion of their rations?]
[I said don’t keep captives, we don’t have the grain to feed them, especially when they’re the beneficiaries of war, them living one more day is unworthy compared to the many people of ours who died.]
