Sasa's message had arrived for Wu Zechuan, who was in the Forbidden Demon Abyss, prompting him to immediately return to Crimson No.2.

Although his strength was indispensable for exploring the Forbidden Demon Abyss, he was equally needed for matters concerning Crimson No.2.

Wu Zechuan returned covertly to Crimson No.2 without alarming anyone and met Sasa in a private room of a restaurant.

"Trading support for a type of demon's toxin? Are you sure that toxin can reduce human magic power adaptation?"

Upon entering the private room, Wu Zechuan couldn't wait to ask Sasa.

Sasa nodded, "I haven't done human experiments yet, so I don't know if the application of that toxin on humans would have similar effects, but it's true that Karskez's toxin reduces magic power adaptation in elves. I've been researching this not only to lower my own magic power adaptation, allowing me to enhance my physical abilities by ingesting Saint's Blood, but also to see if you, who have already ingested Saint's Blood and gained automatic magic absorption abilities as Engravers, can enhance your bodies again after reducing magic power adaptation."

This was precisely the reason Wu Zechuan hurriedly sought out Sasa.

Upon leaving the Forbidden Demon Abyss and receiving Sasa's message, Wu Zechuan immediately had this thought.

It was unclear how Saint's Blood judged its recipients, based on magic power adaptation? Or according to some particular trait represented by magic power adaptation?

After reducing magic power adaptation, if Saint's Blood strengthens the body, then it's because of the magic power adaptation itself; if it grants automatic magic absorption abilities, then it's due to the trait represented by magic power adaptation.

After all, when the toxin's effects fade, the magic power adaptation will recover, indicating that magic power adaptation isn't an independent existence, there must be some underlying trait.

Wu Zechuan not only wanted to understand what Sasa aimed to research but also wanted to discern what trait magic power adaptation represents.

If their research proves successful, perhaps they could artificially adjust magic power adaptation.

"The food is here, let's eat first and talk while we eat."

Sasa invited Wu Zechuan to sit down, Wu Zechuan suppressed his curiosity and took a seat opposite Sasa, watching as the service machine brought up the dishes Sasa ordered.

Recently, Sasa had made quite a bit of money through Yan Luo, and she had become more generous with ordering dishes.

While eating dinner, Sasa chatted with Wu Zechuan about her accomplishments in the Elf World.

Concerning Sasa's idea to 'support the industrial progress of Gass City', Wu Zechuan thought for a moment and helped her refine the support plan.

"Firstly, we cannot directly allow elven-manufactured print tools to enter the Blue Star market, as that would greatly disrupt the current printing tools market and could invite hostility. Print tool manufacturers usually have significant power behind them, rashly clashing with them isn't wise. Last time I was in the Elf World, I noticed their artistic level is very high and quite unique, so I think we can support them by providing personal-use sewing machines, then purchase the clothes they make, sell them on Blue Star, and bring back user feedback to show them that the 'human world' isn't merely a concept, it's a real place."

"This way, the elves will have more interest in us, aiding the promotion of human culture in the Elf World, and facilitating cultural output to the Elf World. Though considering the elves' character, even if they become fascinated by our culture, they can't betray the Elf Race, but as long as they can support us, enabling us to better combat the Abyssal Believers, that would be sufficient."

After hearing Wu Zechuan's explanation, Sasa immediately praised, "Brilliant! When it comes to being devious, you truly excel!"

Wu Zechuan replied with a joking accusation, "Is deviousness something you can compliment someone on?"

Sasa chuckled but remained silent.

Then, while eating, Wu Zechuan began contacting the relevant parties, aiming to prepare everything before the next trade with the Elf World.

"By the way, are we selling cars?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zechuan looked at Sasa with confusion, not knowing what tricks this young girl was up to again.

Sasa stuffed her mouth with food and mumbled ambiguously, "This time, the elf guide leading the business trip is Julia and Suniya's father. After returning to Gass City, he kept praising our trucks and asked if I had a small truck for sale because he wanted to buy one."

As an Intercity Messenger, Julia's father usually drives a horse carriage to deliver messages. Although he has great strength, controlling the carriage can be difficult when encountering powerful demons.

So, he wants to purchase a small truck to have more control over it.

Wu Zechuan laughed, "Isn't this easy?"

Julia's father is an Intercity Messenger, enjoying a good reputation in many elf cities. If he uses a human-made vehicle to deliver letters and goods between cities, it could bring human goods a decent reputation.

"We should certainly sell them, and not only sell them but also ensure he learns how to drive, how to repair, just like our human veteran driver standards!"

The human veteran driver standard is basically, as long as it's not the engine or nuclear battery that's broken, other damages can be repaired independently.

After saying this, Wu Zechuan contacted a familiar truck manufacturer, making sure they could quickly modify a durable truck.

Once contact with the manufacturer was completed, Wu Zechuan said to Sasa, "When you take that truck to the Elf World, sell it to Julia's father at the unmodified factory price; he's our best advertisement to incite interest among elves for our goods."

Though elves seldom leave the cities they reside in, they don't need vehicles, Wu Zechuan isn't looking to push vehicles onto elves, he just wants to demonstrate the intricacy of human goods to them.

Sasa nodded, "Okay, I understand, anything else?"

Wu Zechuan thought further and added, "You can explain the concept of industrialization to the Lord of Gass City; with elven character and culture, it's difficult to sustain a shift towards industrial civilization unless they change their culture. Otherwise, they can't enter industrialization. This serves as a diversion tactic, leading them down a misguided path that could take a long time to realize."

It's an open strategy because from an elf's perspective, if Sasa shares how humans become so powerful with them, they'd certainly accept it willingly.

Their inability to industrialize is ultimately an elf problem, not Sasa's concern.

Upon hearing Wu Zechuan's words, Sasa was somewhat dazed.

No matter who spends time with Yan Luo eventually shows signs of 'Yan Luo-ization'; previously, Wu Zechuan wouldn't have so bluntly expressed his heartfelt thoughts.

"... You might be a bit evil," Sasa couldn't help but tease.

Wu Zechuan smirked, "How can this be considered evil? Clearly, this is the foundation of human civilization's strength, telling them is actually benefiting them."

This is indeed the case, and believe the Lord of Gass City would, even if not feeling deeply grateful to Sasa, treat her with great respect.

The issue lies in Wu Zechuan's careful observation of the ecology of Gass City's elves and learning from the relatively young and naive Suniya that elves are generally like that.

Elven civilization isn't suited for industrialization, that's Wu Zechuan's judgment.

Even though there's Pirie City in the Elf World, based on Yan Luo's description of Pirie City, that city should have already started industrialization but has yet to enter the industrialization process.

Elves can't possibly not think of 'mass production', 'assembly line production' concepts; the only explanation is that elf culture is not suited for industrialization.

Elves are too individualistic and can't accept collective production.

Humans won't sell automated production lines to elves—at least not short term; even if Sasa informs the Lord of Gass City about humanity's foundation of strength, elves still can't utilize it, continuing to tread erroneously until they awaken.

Chairman Wu's strategy is too harsh!
