Although A Shou and others burned the supplies of the Fly Owl Army, Yucheng did not have the strength for pursuit operations.
Although both sides had the will to kill, they were helpless due to insufficient strength, and a rare peace was maintained in the following time.
Both sides kept adding chips to the gambling table, and it was foreseeable that the final duel was about to begin!
Due to the defeat of the Fly Owl Army, the Kingdom of Yun mobilized troops and adopted a defensive stance. The supplies dispatched from the north could finally be transported to Yucheng without hindrance, and Yucheng could finally live without calculation.
"Mr. Zhang Wei, as per your instructions, all unprocessed ingredients have been stored here."
"Mmm, you may go."
"As you command."
Looking at the mountains of ingredients, Zhang Wei rubbed his hands excitedly.
After so long, he could finally organize everything properly.
This period had been all about spending; it was finally time for income.
Zhang Wei surveyed carefully: "The supplies transported during this period are about 2 million tons, which is already half of the rear storage. It seems the allied forces' rear is also going all out."
"Many troops are also gathering around Yucheng. Half of the 200,000 allied forces from the north have already arrived around Yucheng."
"Once the Kingdom of Yun is defeated, Mo Du's prestige will reach its peak, and then all the precious ingredients of the Kingdom of Yun will be available upon request."
This was also why Zhang Wei was working so hard.
Helping Mo Du, helping the north, and ultimately helping himself!
Just imagine, all the ingredients of the Kingdom of Yun, the top vegetable producing area in the human world! It could drive countless chefs mad!
[Found storable ingredient: Qiu Qiu Potato]
[Capture Level: 1]
[Origin: Various artificial planting areas]
[Description: A fast-growing, high-yield crop that is not picky about fertilizer, resistant to natural disasters, and has a large output. Artificial cultivation has been fully realized.
Due to its massive output, its unit price has also become extremely low. In most markets, the price does not exceed 3 Beli per kilogram. Although its nutrition is single, it is rich in energy. Relying on its excellent cost-effectiveness, it has become the main food for most cell awakeners.]
---
"Priced at 3 Beli, I remember the Galon Tiger Bone is thirty. 2 Beli is indeed very cheap."
"No wonder it's the primary choice for military rations."
However, price meant nothing to Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei's goal was to collect all the ingredients in the world. Although it was a common item, the Treasury of Collection would still endow it with exceptional charm!
Taking out a Qiu Qiu Potato from the bag, it was about the size of a fist, shaped like an egg, with small sprouts occasionally growing from its rough spots.
With a wave of Zhang Wei's hand, the fine blade peeled it entirely, as if cutting an apple skin, without a trace of dirt.
The withered and sprouted parts were also dug out. From its appearance and color, it was no different from a peeled apple.
"Although it's only level one, its taste is fresh and its texture is crisp, far superior to the potatoes on Blue Star."
"It seems that even in the Great Gourmet Era, crops will be optimized."
[Collection complete!]
[Qiu Qiu Potato]
[Replication Time: 28 days]
"Only 28 days, and it's truly the ingredient with the shortest initial replication time that I've collected!"
"Next, let me see what miracles this little potato can create~"
...
"Mo Du~"
"Brother, you called me?"
"Come and give me a hand."
"Huh? You actually need my help? Hehe, tell me, what is it!"
Zhang Wei pointed to the mountain of Qiu Qiu Potatoes and said, "Pick one up and throw it to me."
Saying that, he maintained a distance of about five steps from Mo Du.
"What are we doing?"
"Hey, just listen."
Mo Du picked up a potato and threw it straight at Zhang Wei.
A flash of electricity...
The potato skins scattered in the air, and by the time they hit Zhang Wei, they were already completely peeled.
"Wow, brother, so you found me to peel potato slices~ I thought it was something big~"
Zhang Wei chuckled, "As a chef, isn't peeling potato skins normal for me?"
"Actually... I've never seen you do such a basic thing before."
Zhang Wei clapped his hands, signaling Mo Du to continue.
Swish swish swish~
With Mo Du's strength, throwing potatoes at bullet speed was normal.
Zhang Wei was in a state of disarray for a moment.
Mo Du, on the other hand, laughed while throwing.
"Stop, stop, stop, are you playing with me?"
Mo Du covered his mouth and giggled, "You've always been gentle and confident, and seeing you like this is really funny."
"Cut the crap, peeling potato skins is serious business, throw them in an arc for me."
Anyone who has played with throwing things into pockets knows that using the parabolic trajectory of an object's fall slows down its speed, making it easier to dodge and react.
If it were at bullet speed, no arc could be drawn.
But Mo Du also found a new way to play.
Zhang Wei didn't specify that they had to be thrown one by one, right?
Qiu Qiu Potatoes were about the size of a fist, and he could grab at most two at a time. Mo Du used both hands, throwing potatoes everywhere, but they still landed precisely near Zhang Wei.
As all the potatoes passed by Zhang Wei, they would trigger dozens of electrical flashes, and then all the potato skins would fly in different directions.

In a short time, the collection time for Qiu Qiu Potatoes was shortened to one day.
Inside the Treasury of Collection, that Qiu Qiu Potato was perfectly round, just like a real ball.
And there were no dents or sprouts.
It could be said that even if one searched through tens of thousands of tons of Qiu Qiu Potatoes, none would be as excellent in quality.
"No, the speed is still too slow."
Mo Du panted slightly and said, "Peeling hundreds of them per minute, and you're still not satisfied?"
"It doesn't meet my needs. Let me think."
Zhang Wei's swordsmanship had reached the extreme of his physical attributes. He could draw his sword over a hundred times per second, but for cutting mountains of potatoes, it was still not enough.
"Got it!"
"I've thought of something!"
"Thought of what?"
"A brand new skill!"
Zhang Wei's expression was quite excited!
Mind Manifestation!
Golden Bell Shield!
A golden giant bell enveloped Zhang Wei, with mysterious traditional Chinese characters faintly visible...
"Modification One: Stop rotating!"
"Modification Two: Two coaxial rotating metal rods appear inside the Golden Bell!"
"Modification Three: The metal rods thicken into metal cylinders!"
Mind Manifestation was already difficult, and maintaining it for a long time was a feat, let alone complex internal structures.
"Brother, what are you doing? The more complex the Mind Manifestation, the weaker the structure."
"If you turn the Golden Bell into this, its defensive power will be greatly reduced."
Zhang Wei smiled mysteriously, "I'm not using this move to fight!"
