Dong dong dong~
Zhang Wei tapped the tabletop, producing a sound like granite.
"As expected of Yan Mi, the paste made from it dries like granite."
Combined with the glue Zhang Wei added, the surface was smooth and delicate. In a casual move, Zhang Wei created another wonder of the Great Gourmet Era.
The Ten Thousand Mu Table!
This was not the end!
During this period, Zhang Wei had accumulated at least 200 Demon Giant Mosquitoes. His straw was quite famous in the original work.
The villains of the Artistry Association could use the suction of this straw to liquefy any ingredient, or expel powerful air bullets.
Summon Demon Giant Mosquito!
Through gene selection, these perfect-grade Demon Giant Mosquitoes had lower combat power, their capture level reduced from 110 to 102, and their fighting strength was less than 35% of wild individuals.
Wild individuals carried hundreds of thousands of viruses, while perfect grades carried less than 20,000.
They were larger, their flight speed much slower, but their straws were exceptionally tough!
"They are approaching another species."
A swift cut!
The Demon Giant Mosquitoes that could have struggled with Zhang Wei were instantly killed and their bodies perfectly dismembered.
Summon Demon Giant Mosquito!
Ten of them!
The situation was no different. As soon as they appeared in the real world, still in a daze, Zhang Wei dispatched them. They died peacefully.
After collecting two hundred straws and undergoing simple sterilization, he embedded them evenly into the tabletop.
Next was...
The second basement level!
The aqueduct!
The straws connected to the underground waterway, diverting water to a depression lower than the tabletop's elevation. Zhang Wei had another use for this spot.
As soon as the sun rose the next day, the disaster victims, rubbing their sleepy eyes, looked at the miracle Zhang Wei had created.
The once pristine white starch tabletop was now covered with verdant seaweed...
This seaweed was drying at a visible rate, and the sound of surging water could be heard from beneath the table.
"The straws of the Demon Giant Mosquitoes have the effect of enhancing suction. Beneath each straw, I have installed a spiral water pump that utilizes the potential energy of the water flow to operate!"
"With these straws, the drying process will save ninety percent of the time!"

[Collection Complete: Fresh and Tender Sea Hydora]
[Quantity Collected: Eight Thousand Tons]
[Replication Time: 25 Days]
[Description: An excellent dried product, maintaining about 75% moisture, with a very good texture. Furthermore, the internal vitamins are kept at optimal levels, equivalent to twice that of lemons by weight.]
It was done!
Merely one table, and it took less than 40 minutes.
It couldn't be dried too much, as it would affect the taste. Zhang Wei immediately used his storage spell to collect it and then placed new seaweed.
Ding~
Collection Complete!

Soon, the replication time was compressed to one day, and the replication quantity began to increase.
During this time, Zhang Wei was not idle. He still had over a hundred million sausages and sardines in his bag waiting to be collected.
Utilizing the time dilation between the Treasure Hall and the real world, 40 minutes of drying time became 400 minutes. Of this, 30 minutes could be utilized, equivalent to five hours inside the Treasure Hall!

Collection Complete: Sausage Sardine
Replication Time: One Day
Replication Quantity: 700,000 Tons!
Sausage sardines were quite easy to handle, requiring only the removal of their heads and tails, leaving the fish sausage in the middle.
Initially, a gentle pinch could collect hundreds at a time.
Using thought projection and his storage spell, once Zhang Wei became proficient, he could collect tens of thousands in a second!
Even so, Zhang Wei spent a full four days in the Treasure Hall, finally successfully increasing the replication volume to 700,000 tons!
Exceeding Yan Mi's 500,000 tons!
It became the ingredient with the highest replication volume for Zhang Wei at the moment!
Yan Mi's edible grade was only 1, while sausage sardines had a grade of 7, their value more than three times higher!
A total of seven Sea Hydoras could yield fifty million tons of outer seaweed. After drying, at least 6 million tons would remain, providing a replication volume of...
450,000 tons!
Close to Yan Mi, but still quite ample!
