Chapter 928: Spirit Pill
Shortly after the interview ended, most of the representatives from the small foreign countries immediately bid their farewell, taking all their jotted notes and documents with them.
They urgently desired to return to their countries and inform their leaders and rulers and, at the same time, hoped to persuade them to join the United Nations quickly.
On the other hand, most of the representatives from the Divine League and Freedom Federation remained behind. Only one or two from each side were sent back to report the information. The rest stayed back in hopes of getting Henrietta to agree to a cultural exchange.
They wanted to learn more about the Black Rose Empire under the excuse that they could use its strength to persuade their leaders to view the United Nations favorably.
In truth, they were just hoping to fish for knowledge that could be used against the Black Rose Empire.
Although Henrietta was aware of their ulterior motives, she still agreed to their stay and even arranged their accommodations and hospitality.
Unless they were loyal to death for their countries, she was confident that her country's rapidly developing environment would sway their hearts and change their minds.
After all, the Black Rose Empire and the United Nations had access to far more knowledge and resources than the rest of Pangea could ever have imagined. The quality of life was constantly improved, and the overall strength of the people was also rising. Even innovative applications of existing resources and products were being researched.
"Since our foreign guests are interested in staying to learn more about our country, I will take this chance to introduce a new product we have been researching."
Following Henrietta's introduction, she took out a fluorescent green bead that was coated in a soluble, transparent, glass-like candy layer. Its clear surface also revealed tiny, blue runic lines that emitted faint traces of mana.
"Your Majesty, this is..."
The foreign guests' gazes were immediately drawn to the green pill. They all sensed some sort of unfamiliar yet familiar vital force in it.
"This is currently what one of our outer space research teams is researching. We call this a Spirit Pill. Although it's still a flawed product, it's able to contain spirit energy and allow the consumer to absorb it at a 50% loss rate."
"Spirit Energy!"
After listening to Henrietta's explanation, the foreign guests immediately exclaimed with shock and surprise.
Even Emperor Varan's eyes lit up with excitement.
A week ago, he visited the space station and experienced the benefits of spirit energy. Since then, he has been looking for opportunities to acquire more spirit energy.
As such, it was a pleasant surprise to see the Spirit Pill not losing its spirit energy.
"This Spirit Pill contains 20 units of spirit energy. Considering its 50% energy loss rate upon consumption, the consumer will only gain 10 units of spirit energy. However, that is enough for the consumer to become a cultivator."
"With 3 of these Spirit Pills, even the most ordinary person can become a Rank 1 Cultivator. With 10 Spirit Pills, they can even reach Rank 2."
"Your Majesty, are you planning to sell Spirit Pills to other countries?"
The foreign guests became even more eager and excited to learn what Henrietta's intention was for revealing the Spirit Pill.
Although it seemed obvious, someone couldn't help but ask immediately.
"That's right. We do intend to sell the Spirit Pill," Henrietta nodded before saying, "However, since production and resources are limited, we will only be selling the Spirit Pills to members of our United Nations."
"Non-members can only wait until an opportunity arises," Henrietta stated.
Though that was what she said, Spirit Pills would undoubtedly be in high demand.
As such, the UN market would be in a constant state of high demand but not enough supply. Unless the production of Spirit Pills became saturated, it would never enter the markets of foreign countries outside of the UN.
"Can't we help you mass produce it, Your Majesty? My country definitely has enough manpower and resources to expand its production," a Freedom Federation representative excitedly offered.
However, everyone else became startled before looking at him like they were looking at an idiot.
It didn't matter how much manpower and resources the Freedom Federation had.
The Spirit Pill was developed in outer space, and there was only one Heavenreacher in the Black Rose Empire.
There weren't even enough slots to send all of its own people up, so why would the Black Rose Empire look for the Freedom Federation for help in expanding its Spirit Pill production?
Did it lack talent?
Definitely not.
There were tens of millions of witches in the Black Rose Empire waiting to enter the sea of stars. Every one of them had in-depth knowledge of magic and standard control of mana.
Did the Freedom Federation have that as well?
Considering the scarcity of mana in the southern half of the Pangea continent, it was questionable if the Freedom Federation had more than a hundred thousand awakened witches, let alone a million.
Since the Freedom Federation actually had little to offer, what the hell did the Black Rose Empire need it for?
"Idiot," Emperor Varan sneered.
If the Black Rose Empire were truly looking for business partners to expand the Spirit Pill production, his Great Ratholos Empire would be the first to volunteer.
What kind of shit was the Freedom Federation?
It better queue in line properly.
The Freedom Federation representative's face quickly flushed with embarrassment after realizing he had spoken out of turn.
Even if the Freedom Federation had the desire to partner up with the Black Rose Empire, it wouldn't be his choice to make on its behalf. He was only responsible for collecting
information and reporting everything back.
Only the president could make such a choice.
Director Gardner would never expect that after his surprising decision to return and report to the president personally, the new leader of the Freedom Federation representative group would embarrass them as such.
Of course, that was something he would only find out at a much later date.
