Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Sitting in the carriage, Nan Ke’s eyes were filled with exhaustion, and he sighed softly, "Working in the Twisted Jungle was so intense, it made me feel like I was back at my previous job at department 007, dealing with overtime..."

Who would have thought that even in the game, they would have to do such high-intensity labor.

"Is the task difficulty in the Twisted Jungle really that high now?" Kael was taken aback, as he knew once players took on a task, they could demonstrate tremendous initiative.

But 007...?

This wasn’t like the old online games where you could use software to automate things; in this virtual game, doing tasks required actual effort and time from the players.

Even if the rewards were greater than those in reality, it was impossible to keep it up continuously.

If it really turned into digital labor, most players would be unwilling.

It’s always like this with chaotic evils; it’s normal for them to just throw their hands up and walk away if they’re not pleased.

After all, it’s a game where money can’t buy happiness!

"Pretty much, actually a significant number of players—ah, which you call the Undead in the Twisted Jungle—sometimes we find even the routine quests tiring.

Not everyone is cut out for combat, and capturing Huge Hoofed Deer does have a learning threshold."

For us lifestyle players, it indeed is a bit overwhelming," Nan Ke explained.

Kael chuckled lightly, pretending he didn’t hear the word "players," and only after taking a sip of tea, did he continue,

"I once heard a Priest of Astate say that you came to Shenhua Continent essentially to experience a completely different life than in the Divine Lands, to start a new chapter, but now it seems..."

Kael chuckled again, drawing everyone’s attention.

He appeared as if awoken from a pleasant dream, his lips lightly curved in a relaxed smile.

Unaware of it, he turned to look out the window. Outside the swiftly moving carriage, the roadside scenes flashed by, and together with them, his fleeting smile disappeared.

Sitting quietly the whole time, occasionally bowing his head to jot something down, Lansyfish felt dazzled by that briefly blooming smile.

Coming to his senses, he heard Kael say softly, "Becoming a Transcendent is somewhat hard yet somewhat easy. You are children of the Goddess of Abundance. Even outside the Divine Lands, with restrictions imposed, you still harbor tremendous potential within.

For you, becoming professionals is not as cumbersome as it is for many races on Shenhua Continent; it primarily depends on whether you are willing and... if there is anyone willing to guide you."

"Hmm?" Nan Ke was momentarily perplexed, sensing something but not quite grasping it.

Sister Astate seemed unable to watch any longer—both of them were group members of the "House of Dog Empire" chat group.

Seeing Nan Ke struggling to understand, she elbowed him in the chest, managing a strained smile, and said,

"Lord, for situations like Nan Ke’s, do you have any advice?"

Kael glanced at Sister Astate. The youth was taciturn but had promptly hit the nail on the head.

After all... if one were to talk about it, no one in Lancaster Territory was more suitable to lead these people than him.

The resources he controlled were simply not on the same level as those of a regular NPC.

Struck by an idea, he smiled and said, "If you’re asking for help, it would be better for the person in question to speak up."

He looked at Nan Ke, a player he was unfamiliar with. He could imagine that in his past life, he wasn’t one of those particularly well-known players.

He remembered that last night, when organizing people to post tasks, he had seen posts from Lansyfish and Sister Astate on the forum, which had inspired him to arrange for tasks to be given to them.

Nan Ke had just finished part of the Huge Hoofed Deer task with Sister Astate at that time, and it was not appropriate for him to manipulate things secretly and appoint someone right in front of others.

Anyway, whether bringing two players or three, it was all the same, so he simply brought him along.

Looking back, it truly was a brilliant move.

Nan Ke said, "Actually, I still hope to take it easy. Lord, you must have heard that we Undead, after being busy, return to the realm of the Goddess Shangtiya. In the realm of Goddess Shangtiya, we also have our own duties."

Kael nodded and said, "Oh? To be able to work in the realm of the Goddess must mean you are quite capable. I wonder what exactly do you do there?"

"Ah... mainly operations like selecting and nurturing seeds. Actually, there are quite a few people in the realm of God, and food is an issue there. My main task is to observe and cultivate seeds that have a higher yield.

Ah, speaking of which, if there were a profession related to botany or zoology, allowing someone like me, who is more laid-back, to occasionally enjoy the mountains and waters and venture out, that would also be a nice choice.

But I always feel that such leisurely jobs, even in the world below... seem hard to come by."

After saying this, his face showed an embarrassed expression.

After all, he always felt that his requests were a bit too much.

However, unexpectedly, there was no sign of displeasure on Kael’s face. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he said, "There are such jobs... plenty, actually."

"Hmm?" ×3

"It all depends on how you see it. If you are really determined to take this path, it is feasible. I would even be happy to see it happen and could offer you a long-term commission."

Nan Ke was momentarily stunned, then immediately overjoyed, "Is there such a good thing?"

Kael said somewhat irritably, "Obviously, it’s not all good. If you really decide to do this, I will have certain requirements."

"No problem, Lord, just say it!" Nan Ke’s face broke into an excited smile.

Kael stood up, knocked on the carriage door, and signaled the coachman to slow down.

As the carriage slowed down, Kael opened the carriage window. A refreshing breeze blew in from outside, clearing the slightly stifling air inside. He pointed out of the window and said to Nan Ke,

"Mr. Nan Ke, what do you see outside the window?"

Nan Ke leaned out and said, "Wide plains and woodland, what about them? Is there a problem?"

"How much do you think this forest could provide for the daily needs of food for the Royal Capital of the House of Lancaster Duchy?"

"Uh, that depends on the population density in this forest, the edible wildlife, fungi, special natural seasonings, wild fruits and vegetables... A forest can provide a very rich variety of food ingredients."

"Compared to the mass-produced fields, vegetable gardens, orchards, and extensively breed meat-producing wildlife?"

"Under the same area, of course, it cannot compare."

"What about compared to meticulously cultivated high-yield grain crops, pest-resistant vegetables, improved taste and flavor fruits, and wildlife that produce more meat?"

Nan Ke did not give a direct answer but said,

"That depends on the level of the cultivators. Usually, through several generations of hybridization and optimization, it is possible to differentiate a variety of species in different directions. Lord, do you have such plans?"

Kael nodded and said, "Mr. Nan Ke, the Royal Capital of the House of Lancaster Duchy has 18 million people, whose livelihood needs are supported by the entire Duchy.

The population of Titan Town in Lancaster Territory, including the suburbs, is about 110,000 people, relying on 77 villages in Lancaster Territory for support.

A big part of the reason for this is the inadequate self-production."

Kael’s expression was serious, and he said something that shook Nan Ke to his core—

"Sir, I had a dream last night where I was lying peacefully beneath the rice paddies outside Titan Town, with rice plants that were very tall..."
