Time has passed quietly for another seven or eight days, and here at Dayang Group, it has entered the golden autumn of October. However, no one can get excited about this golden autumn.
The plague has been raging around the world for more than half a month. Although the world has established one isolation zone after another under the call of Ocean Group, the effect is not ideal.
Cultivators are too mobile, and germs flow with the air, so there is no real safe zone in the entire world.
The wild monsters have begun to fall one after another.
The sick practitioners have accounted for 20% of the known practitioners, and they continue to spread; millions of people are seriously ill, and these people choose to seal themselves up and wait for an opportunity. At this time, no one seems to see any hope.
The whole world was in panic. Society also suffered serious damage. At this time, Dayang Group was also under too much pressure.
People may have been somewhat rational at first, but as the plague spread and exploded, and as a large number of people became critically ill and were sealed away, people gradually directed their grievances against Dayang Group.
Yes, no matter how nice your words from Dayang Group are, at least now this disaster has broken out directly because of your Dayang Group.
In short, Dayang Group really did a good job this time and shed tears.
Negotiations between Dayang Group and Xuanhuang Group have basically come to a halt.
Under such circumstances, if everyone is still fussing over negotiations and wrangling, then they are really cutting themselves off from the people.
The Xuanhuang Group wanted to take the opportunity to put pressure, but the Dayang Group put disaster relief first and declined all negotiations.
The only good news is that the plague has still not affected those in the foundation building stage and below.
Therefore, those who maintain the operation of society now are actually a group of "masters" in the foundation-building period!
Oh, and there are Dharma-level ones. After actual observation, everyone found that as long as the practice is really active and running continuously, infection can basically be eliminated; but this is a privilege only available to Dharma-level masters.
What needs to be pointed out in particular is that not everyone is qualified to practice true fire - most of those on the royal path cannot practice. This is a problem caused by the practice system.
Therefore, the current situation of Xuanhuang Group is not very optimistic. Dayang Group is now under huge pressure from public opinion, while Xuanhuang Group is under huge pressure to survive.
Under the huge crisis and pressure, Xuanhuang Group is also actively looking for solutions. But this plague is too extraordinary. Using the traditional and imperfect medical explanation of the world of practice is:
This is caused by the invasion of external evils, rather than problems caused by heat stroke, cold, etc.; therefore, conventional treatment methods are almost useless. Even taking pills indiscriminately will worsen the condition.
At present, the only thing that can alleviate the condition is practicing true fire.
In addition, there is half good news - the sharks of the Ocean Group have discovered a phenomenon, that is, marine life does not seem to be affected, including the sharks themselves!
Marine life is almost unaffected, but most of the terrestrial freshwater monsters are affected.
After Dayang Group made the news public, the prices of marine medicinal materials rose accordingly, and a large number of marine monsters were hunted - well, marine life was still affected.
However... it's useless! There is no way for everyone to get what they need from marine life and medicinal materials. The pills refined indiscriminately have caused many deaths.
Dayang Group specifically reported this matter.
Some people also try to practice in the sea, thinking that it is caused by the sea environment. However, the result is obvious, it still doesn't work.
Therefore, the discovery that marine life is not affected can only be regarded as half good news. It can only be said that it brings a little hope to the world, but that is all.
The world outside is still chaotic, or panic.
But Zu Qianyue is not easy either. At this time, Zu Qianyue is sitting in the embassy - it was recently built here by Dayang Group; and the problem Zu Qianyue faces at this time is an allocation: 240 million spiritual yuan
/High grade spiritual stone.
And this is not the first allocation.
Speaking of which, at first, Xuanhuang Group wanted to drag it out and drag it out. But they underestimated Dayang Group's methods.
First of all, Dayang Group simply allocated 3 billion spiritual yuan, and Luzhou Bank jointly established a "plague fund" with the banking and financial systems of all parties in the strategic alliance.
The office address of the Plague Fund is right here at the headquarters of Dayang Group, which is here in Ninghe City. It has temporarily rented an office building on the first floor.
The Plague Fund publishes bounty tasks in the fund office or mercenary guild by publishing tasks, mainly for the plague.
For example, the Sharks discovered the characteristics of marine life. After approval, the Plague Fund finally awarded the Sharks a reward of 1.8 million spiritual yuan/high-grade spiritual stones.
It sounds like it is just a discovery, but it is the first discovery after all, and it is of great significance, so 1.8 million spirit yuan is still not bad.
From the perspective of fairness and justice, the establishment of this fund still has positive significance; but for Xuanhuang Group and Zu Qianyue, this so-called plague fund is like a bloody mouth, and it is directly facing Xuanhuang Group.
In just a few days, Dayang Group and the strategic alliance headed by Dayang Group have continuously injected capital into the Plague Fund.
Each capital injection is not much. In addition to the large capital injection at the beginning, the capital will basically be injected once in the next two days, with each family investing around ten million at a time; but when aggregated, it is not a small number. Almost every time the overall capital injection is 2
Around 100 million.
Dayang Group and its strategic alliance use this to hype up and control public opinion.
Zu Qianyue was reluctant at first to spend 100 million yuan and inject it into the plague fund; but with the actions of Dayang Group, Zu Qianyue suddenly understood that this was not a fight for wealth, but a different kind of competition.
war.
Therefore, the Xuanhuang Group has to express something, and it cannot be too low.
But here comes the problem. This Plague Fund is completely the strategic alliance’s own white glove. No matter how much capital they inject, it’s a matter of left hand and right hand. But when Xuanhuang Group injects capital into the fund, it means throwing real money outward.
Yes - having money is not such a waste, not to mention that Xuanhuang Group is currently stretched.
Next to him, Zuo Baihong looked at Zu Qianyue's hesitant and even trembling hands and couldn't help but said: "Palace Master, why don't we create a fund ourselves?"
Hearing this, Zu Qianyue smiled bitterly and said, "It's easy to say. But we have no experience in this field, let alone talents in this field.
Moreover, Dayang Group already has this fund. If we open another one, what do you think others will think of us? Do you think Dayang Group will let this opportunity pass?"
Zuo Baihong opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. Yes, if Xuanhuang Group sets up another fund, Dayang Group will never let go of this opportunity - under such circumstances, you, Xuanhuang Group, want to split, what do you mean? .
But Zuo Baihong was not willing to accept the exploitation of Dayang Group in this way. Of course, Zu Qianyue and the Xuanhuang Group were not willing to accept it either.
But no matter how unwilling I am, I can only grit my teeth now.
However, the matter did not end there. Just three days later, less than 20 days after the outbreak of the plague, Dayang Group finally announced, a very formal announcement:
The laboratory achieved decisive research results. Zhou Xueyao led the research team to extract multiple groups of active substances from marine life, which can specifically inhibit the fungi of this plague.
Yes, suppression, not killing. But for cultivators, as long as they can suppress the reproduction of fungi, their strong physical fitness can heal itself.
Zhou Xueyao's team extracted a variety of active ingredients from marine life, or to be precise, several amino acids that are present in marine life.
Some of these amino acids are slightly toxic but have significant effects; some are non-toxic and have weaker effects.
The sources of amino acids also vary. Some come from seaweed, some from jellyfish, some from high-level dragon monsters, and some from low-level, ordinary fish monsters.
Different amino acids are needed for different cultivation levels, different physiques, different ways of practice, and even different disease conditions.
The details are still under study, but at least for now it is certain that these amino acids extracted from marine life have miraculous effects.
Moreover, after clinical trials, these carefully selected amino acids have very few side effects; at least for cultivators, even if they are used incorrectly, it will only cause a bad stomach. Compared with the current plague, they can be completely ignored.
When the news spread, it immediately caused uproar.
Most people only see the surface and think that the plague has been solved by Dayang Group again.
However, people who are a little smarter - or maybe just a little clever - are beginning to wonder: They have come up with the 'antidote' in less than twenty days. Isn't this plague caused by Dayang Group on purpose? Don't say it, such a statement is very strange. There is a market, and there are some people with evil intentions behind it who are adding fuel to the fire.
But truly smart people see it more profoundly: in the face of emergencies, and even global disasters, Dayang Group's response methods and efficiency are amazing.
From the red flying insects at the beginning to the current plague, the powerful response capabilities displayed by Dayang Group are... disturbing!
But there are smarter people, and they have seen the turmoil that will follow: Dayang Group has an "antidote" here, so the relationship between Dayang Group and Xuanhuang Group may be shaken.
Previously, the Xuanhuang Group had explicitly or covertly promoted the slogan of "One World, Two Groups" and received widespread support; especially those who did not deal with the Dayang Group and some neutral forces.
But now, I'm afraid the situation is about to change.
Now the majority of smart people are more concerned about: What is Dayang Group’s next move?
Amid the attention of the whole world, Dayang Group finally took action the next day: Dayang Group applied for financial support from the "Plague Fund" and prepared to build a factory completely designed to deal with the plague;
The factory adopts a joint-stock system and raises funds from all over the world. The number of shares held by each party is calculated based on the capital injection by each party; and the shares will also be directly related to the distribution of the ‘antidote’ in the later period.
At present, Dayang Group is just a proposal for the time being. More specifically, it is natural to convene a 'World Congress'. When the news spread, there was an uproar.
