Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi

Ye Nai smiled as she took out her folding table and laid out a few sheets of paper towels.

"Everyone finished eating? Put the corn cobs on the paper."

After finishing the corn, everyone complied, putting their corn cobs on the paper towels, stacking them neatly.

Others couldn't help but gather around the table, three layers inside and three layers outside, crowded tightly. Everyone voluntarily followed the principle of shorter people standing in front and taller ones in the back, so nobody blocked each other's view through the gaps between heads.

"In the air of Blue Star, there is less energy from the Otherworld. This is why Awakeners take longer to recover their superpowers after exhausting them. To make it clearer for everyone, I'm using a small gadget."

In Ye Nai's palm appeared another Heart Core.

She held the Heart Core motionless with both hands. Just when others thought she was about to gather energy and unleash her power, someone suddenly exclaimed.

"Wow, the corn cobs are disappearing!"

The stacked corn cobs began to vanish from the top, rapidly, one by one, as if dispersing before people's eyes, disappearing down to the bottom layer in just ten seconds, leaving a small amount of residue on the paper.

"Done." Ye Nai put away the Heart Core, "What remains is the inorganic matter left by these corn cobs, you can test it if you don't believe me."

As soon as she finished speaking, two doctoral students swiftly wrapped up the small amount of inorganic matter in paper towels.

"Is your superpower decomposing organic matter?"

The academicians' eyes shone brightly, their gazes at Ye Nai sparkling as they chatted amongst themselves, brainstorming on the spot.

"Organic matter entering the soil generates new microbial communities and microorganisms, and that's why it's possible to farm in the Secret Realm?"

"It seems the direction of soil microbial communities was indeed off track; who would have thought the ultimate solution would await a special ability Awakener."

"So, the real reason for being able to farm in the Secret Realm is soil transformation." A doctoral student followed his teacher's line of thought and said casually, extending a hand across the table towards Ye Nai, "Is the area of land you're transforming large?"

"There are still a few big fields, if we move fast, we can just catch the season to plant autumn crops."

"Plant them! We must plant them!" the academicians shouted, "Based on those large fields, how fast does the microbial community expand outward?"

"I don't know, never measured it; you'll have to do that."

"That's our job. Should we go look at the land now?"

"Sure, apart from the harvested lands, one big field was planted with radishes and spinach. There's indeed another large piece that's been uncultivated and untreated."

"Just right, just right. The new project group hasn't started a project yet, now we have a new topic." The academicians rubbed their hands eagerly.

"Security personnel, follow along. Those few large fields were cultivated by prisoners. The Prisoner Camp is not yet set up, so people haven't been relocated."

The security personnel who accompanied the staple crop project group into this meeting room immediately took their positions, providing close protection.

The doctoral students closely followed their teachers as well.

"Alright, then wait for me a moment, I'll first send these four academicians to the Otherworld, then I'll come back to give you a tour."

"All right, all right."

Ye Nai opened a Transmission Port on the spot, arriving first at Beigen Military Fortress.

After that, she closed the Transmission Port and reopened it from the Otherworld.

With the help of the continuously abundant number of spores in nature, she successfully maintained the Transmission Port in an open state throughout.

As soon as the Transmission Port stabilized, she saw one security team member after another beside the academicians coming over.

Ye Nai left the remaining matters to them. As long as they didn't leave the Military Fortress, she had nothing to worry about regarding their safety.

Since the academicians needed to conduct fungal experiments and research in the Otherworld, which required setting up the Military Fortress, today would be very busy and conveniently allowed Ye Nai to first give a tour to the staple crop project group.

Then, Ye Nai went to the East Ridge Secret Realm in the Otherworld, standing by a fallow large field, taking out an outdoor power supply to plug in a lamp for lighting.

From there, she once more opened a Transmission Port, directly connecting to the meeting room.

The people in the meeting room, looking envious at the fungal project group entering the Otherworld, turned around to see another Transmission Port appear. Ye Nai poked out half her body from it, waving at them.

"Come on, let's go."

Everyone in the staple crop project group immediately followed, and in a blink, stood by a tilled large field.

"The corn and soybeans have been harvested, only this field remains."

"Alright, alright, can you leave a Transmission Port here? We'll continue to look at the next plot, seeing all the existing farmland."

"Alright~"

Ye Nai closed the Transmission Port just used and opened a new one. The group filed in one by one, standing by a large field with radish sprouts growing, with orderly tents and a group of women and children from the Otherworld emerging in view not far away.

They were still living as usual but knew they would soon be relocated to the formal Prisoner Camp, having packed their things, just waiting for the military to pick them up.

"Wow, there's sprouting here, it's really growing!"

Some focused on the field while others looked around at the environment.

"Are those women and children also prisoners?"

"Yes, they are all family members of former nobles, waiting to be taken away once the Prisoner Camp is set up."

Ye Nai left the Transmission Port here and opened a new one nearby, leading to the pasture field.

This lush and vibrant pasture field left everyone gasping in amazement, even the stern security personnel couldn't hold it back.

"Go around the pasture field, head in that direction, there's another large field reclaimed by manpower, security personnel follow along, and don't scare the prisoners when you see them."

Following Ye Nai's words, three security personnel quickly formed a team, went ahead of the group, jogging around the pasture field.

Then, they abruptly stopped seeing a group of heavily tattooed Wizards not far away.

The walkie-talkies on the security personnel guarding the academicians buzzed at this moment.

"The large field near the pasture field is indeed in sight, you can take a distant look, but don't approach. There are too many prisoners."

However, this report only piqued everyone's curiosity further.

"Are there also prisoners on the other side of the pasture field? How many people must that be?"

Following this curiosity, three elderly academicians with young hearts slipped over to see, their buzz quickly followed by alert security personnel who overtook them and got ahead.

Ye Nai leisurely followed behind.

Before long, she heard their gasps of amazement.

Ye Nai stopped in place, watching the spectators swiftly run back.

"Are all those prisoners on the other side Wizards?"

"Most are Junior Wizards, rest assured, they've all been restricted, they won't rebel."

"Restrained? Is it the kind of restraint I'm thinking of? The kind that prevents them from using witchcraft?" exclaimed an excited doe-eyed female doctoral student.

"Yes, it's the kind you're thinking of."

"Wow, great master, please let me bow to you!"

"No need for formalities."
