Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
chapter-177

After that little episode with the shadow mice, Sam checked up on Philip for the next few days.

He heard that he is beating quite some people up and they even included the noble children of the southern star.

Sometimes, the complicated problems have the easiest solutions. From what he observed from Philip his guesses about his condition were almost right and thus his method of beating him up worked miracles.

Now, the battalion is also quite stable. The squad training and company training are going well and even Sam is not supervising, the soldiers didn't slack off.

After all, who would want to reject the progress in their abilities by slacking off.

Now, the squads are training even more rigorously and now they are targeting the Great realm cultivators. Of course, it is not easy to defeat them but they are mostly trying to hold their ground against them.

It is not impossible to defeat them, but the Great realm cultivators in the military are not average joes, they have high experience. So, the fights are pretty difficult and the squads have only one goal and that is to increase the amount of time they battled and also increase the damage they cause to the opponent.

They are quite confident if two squads participate, they would be able to defeat the Great realm cultivator.

After a few days of observation, Sam felt that he could move towards the next projects in his schedule.

First one is to make uniforms for the battalion members.

Second, some advanced preparations for the business phase of the competition and this has something to do with the impact crystal.

He entered the tower and looked at the tonnes of impact crystals on the floor.

He is almost getting a headache after looking at them, but remembering the general's face and all the tricks he pulled, Sam didn't feel that it is that difficult.

All he has to do is make the process easier by employing different things and the best thing for him right now is the methane gas and building a furnace that can help him process this.

But looking at the amount of gas consumption, Sam is thinking if he should increase the intake of fire type beasts so the he could make their faeces useful.

So, he went out of the camp and after looking around in the town and finding out that there is not much he can do, he only has one choice and that is going to golden-horse trading company.

He placed an order for a large number of Blazing earth Bulls. Even though, other species might give him similar gas or even produce methane. Feeding and grooming this Blazing earth bulls is quite easy as they are low level and their faeces quantity is high.

The representative is quite puzzled about the location of the Blazing earth bull and Sam gladly told about the Lava Rock village.

After hearing the distance and the amount of money in the transaction involved, the manage of the Golden-Horse trading company who is familiar with Sam came out.

After making sure that Sam is not making fun and quite serious, the manager asked curiously.

"May I know what you are going to do with these beasts?"

"I like their meat. Is there a problem?"

When Sam answered like this, he didn't know what to say. Then he coughed awkwardly and asked something else.

"Artisan Sam, are you interested in doing a long-term business with us?"

"Like what?"

"Energy Cells."

Sam smirked and said. "Why ask now? Did the results from the experiments didn't yield any results? I thought you would be angry at me for the damage caused by the resulting explosion, instead you are asking me to do business?"

When he heard those words, Manager was turned speechless.

Because, the resulting explosion indeed made some serious damage to them. An artisan, formation master and an inscription master were heavily injured due to the explosion. But he didn't dare to complain to Sam.

After all, Sam made the payment using those energy cell, but they tried to duplicate it and failed. It is already asking for trouble for trying to copy a Scholar artisan's creation and make money. The artisan tower isn't there for nothing.

But if they succeeded, they would have a bargaining chip with Sam. Since, they would already be familiar with the making process, they can use it to coerce Sam to cooperate with them.

Now, that he heard these words after failure and losses, he was thoroughly embarrassed. That means, Sam knew they are going to do this and they are going to face that explosion.

Sam didn't mind his expression and said.

"Not now, I might think this in the future in a few months. Make sure that the delivery of the Blazing earth bulls goes well. I have a lot of work for them."

Sam left the place and went back to the camp. For some reason he has some thoughts to conduct some experiments on the methane.

But that experiment is about possibility of increasing its grade.

Sam entered the tower as soon as he arrived at the camp and started making preparations.

He made three small pits one of them is normal pit without any modification, he made a metal door which would seal it and pumped the methane into it.

The second pit is also same but this time he made some formations and placed some fire element spirit stones.

The third pit though, Sam made a thin lining of fire energy cell inside the pit and pumped the gas as he closed the top. He wants to see if there are going to be any modifications to gas.

Then he finally moved to the second floor to make equipment for his new product. As for uniforms for the soldiers he can do that when he was bored.

So, Sam was holed up in his tower for the next few months only coming out occasionally. He left all the training to Watt and Marian who is right now the top on the ranking list.

At the same day that Sam went inside the tower for next production, Philip and Jack also started making waves in the city.

Kelly felt that she is not on the same league as them.

After reopening the restaurant and skinning the first person in the most unconventional way the trouble lessened for a few days.

But as soon as their business started to pick up a bit, the other teams weren't able to stay put.

They started making moves and on a particular night after closing down the restaurant.

Philip, Jack and Kelly along with the staff started moving towards the estate.

*BOOM*

An explosion sounded but they didn't see any fire rather there was building wall crashing on them. Even if the debris won't harm them, their vision will be affected and their spiritual sense will be disrupted.

Then suddenly the shadows flashed as several people started attacking them.

The attacks aren't lethal but they would definitely suffer some decent damage.

But after the dust settled, the scene astounded the ten people who arrived.

There are several formation discs which were thrown around Philip's group. Those discs are more than enough to dodge three times the attacks they just made. This is completely overkill.

Philip and Jack took a look at Mackey and the staff and after making sure that they are fine, they relaxed a bit.

Philip turned towards the rest group. Out of ten, the five people are from the southern star city's second team members, these five are noble kids.

Actually, in every team the elites stayed for the business and the rest were sent to military. General seemed to have something to do with it.

These five are those noble kids and the rest are their subordinates of same age from their family. These kids are the ones who are targeting them mainly.

The first southern star team led by Nicholas didn't involve in the conflicts. But this second team not only made use of his connections from their family they made it difficult for potential threats. And food Mackey made his obviously a huge potential threat for them.

They even wanted to poach Mackey and his staff but they rejected resolutely.

Mackey might be only interested in cooking, but he knew his success in improvement is mainly due to the new recipes Sam gave him. And he doesn't plan on stopping his progress. If he is loyal enough, maybe there is a chance that Sam will give him some more recipes which will improve his skill.

Philip looked at the ten people with a smile. This is not the first ambush they suffered but the noble kids didn't come at that time.

There are ten subordinates previously and Jack fought them himself. They are obviously some elites and Jack has some serious difficulty. Philip and Kelly weren't able to help much. So, after they took some beating and more than half of the opponents were injured from Jack's beating they left.

But after Philip's brutal warning the noble kids decided to take it up on themselves to come here.

"You know what? A guy beat me to pulp a few days ago and I wasn't even given a chance to retaliate. Now that you guys are here, I have a chance to vent now." Philip said with his trade mark mischievous smile.
