Chapter 007: Brainwashing

After Wang Bo handed the Blood Orchids to Faora, she began cultivating them using Kryptonian technology, then recklessly matured a batch of Kryptonians.

These were the youths before Wang Bo.

Then, using the cultivated Blood Orchids to compensate for the defects of these youths, their lifespans were extended. Thus, these youths were not defective products but were even healthier than ordinary Kryptonians.

Wang Bo looked around; these Kryptonian youths were all tall and sturdy, vigorous and full of explosive power within their bodies. Perhaps on Krypton, this power could not be unleashed.

But when these Kryptonian youths went to other Earths,脱离了 Krypton's environment, they would display the power of a young Superman. To say they could destroy nations and exterminate races might be an exaggeration, but taking cities and fortresses would be no problem.

In ancient societies, they would be invincible warriors.

Of course, Wang Bo referred to those ancient societies without supernatural powers or with low levels of supernatural power.

If it were an ancient society like Journey to the West, these young Kryptonians would amount to nothing.

Even the real Superman would amount to nothing.

Only the Silver Age Superman could roam freely in a world like Journey to the West.

But even so, these Kryptonian youths were still a trump card for Wang Bo; at least in the vast majority of low-level worlds, they could be put to good use.

After Wang Bo, as the leader of Krypton, met with these Kryptonian youths, he patted their shoulders and encouraged them. The Kryptonian youths were immediately overwhelmed with excitement, each as thrilled as if injected with adrenaline.

This was mainly because, from the womb, their genes had been adjusted to pledge loyalty to Wang Bo.

After growing up, each of them had been indoctrinated with the ideas of loyalty to the ruler and love for the country through machine灌输, regarding Wang Bo as their sole focus.

Thus, these Kryptonian youths were so excited and thrilled to see Wang Bo.

After all, in their eyes, Wang Bo was their second parent.

Without Wang Bo, it was unknown when Krypton would be rebuilt, and they would not even have had the chance to be born.

They deeply admired Wang Bo for being able to rebuild Krypton.

After Wang Bo encouraged them a few words and sent the Kryptonian youths away, he said to Faora, "Don't do this kind of flashy brainwashing next time."

He could see that these Kryptonian youths had already been brainwashed, which was why they admired him so much.

"I don't really like this method of brainwashing." Wang Bo was not the type to enjoy a personality cult.

Faora nodded, "I understand, my lord."

She did not ask why or explain anything. Since Wang Bo did not like it, she would not do it. After all, she was a general, and a general obeying the leader's orders was perfectly fine.

Wang Bo made an appearance on Krypton, stayed for a few days, and then left Krypton.

He was not entirely satisfied with Krypton's environment.

After all, Krypton suppressed him too much; Wang Bo could not yet completely shake off Krypton's influence on him.

But Wang Bo believed that one day he could fully摆脱 Krypton's influence, even eating Kryptonite raw without issue.

After all, Superman had once achieved this; there was no reason he could not.

But this would inevitably be a long process.

…

After leaving Krypton, Wang Bo returned to Middle-earth. Middle-earth had been under the control of Afra, the first demon under Wang Bo to advance to an upper demon.

She had once been the most powerful demon under Wang Bo.

However, because she missed the carnivals in the Resident Evil world and the Highschool of the Dead world, her strength was quickly left behind. Among the upper demons under Wang Bo, her strength was not even in the top ten, let alone the top hundred.

After all, that one carnival had created too many upper demons.

Afra naturally fell behind.

But Wang Bo still valued Afra, and entrusting the Lonely Mountain to Afra's charge was a signal. Afra did not disappoint Wang Bo, managing the Lonely Mountain in perfect order.

Even Lake-town, not far from the Lonely Mountain, had become increasingly prosperous with Afra's help.

At this time, Lake-town had fully restored the prosperity of the Dwarf era, and even surpassed it.

The whole of Middle-earth had heard of the matters of the Lonely Mountain and Lake-town. More and more humans began migrating toward the Lonely Mountain area. At this time, Lake-town's population had exceeded thirty thousand.

This number was still increasing.

Wang Bo estimated that within a few years, Lake-town's population would break one hundred thousand.

If this continued, breaking one million was only a matter of time.

And in Middle-earth, except for Sauron who liked to stir up trouble, most of the time it was quite peaceful. Moreover, there were still decades before Sauron would jump out to cause trouble, giving humans ample time to develop.

Perhaps by the time Sauron appeared, the humans of the Lonely Mountain would have already exceeded ten million.

Do not think this is impossible.

In ancient times, low productivity, poor medical conditions, and low survival rates were indeed problems.

But these were only problems for ancient people.

For Wang Bo, were these problems?

Backed by several worlds, Wang Bo could easily support countless populations. Low productivity and poor medical conditions were nothing to him.

So as long as the people of Lake-town dared to have children, Wang Bo had ways to solve the infant survival rate and create countless job opportunities, allowing the people of Lake-town to thrive.

A population of ten million was no problem at all.

A few days after Wang Bo returned to Middle-earth, Gandalf came upon hearing the news. Wang Bo naturally warmly received this old friend.

He always liked to discuss matters over meals, and this time was no exception.

After eating and drinking their fill, Wang Bo asked, "What brings you to me in such a hurry, Gandalf?"

Gandalf did not stand on ceremony and nodded, saying, "I heard you have a kind of super rice here, and I want to ask if you are willing to sell it to other nations."

He had known Wang Bo for some time and knew that Wang Bo was an extremely generous person. Even the Dwarves' vast wealth was returned to them after having them forge a few treasures, showing that Wang Bo did not value wealth.

This time, he heard that a super rice yielding thousands of kilograms per mu had appeared in Lake-town, so he rushed over. He knew very well that once this super rice spread across Middle-earth, it could save countless lives.

He had been in Middle-earth for many years and had seen the misery of Middle-earth more than once when harvests failed.

Not only humans, but Dwarves and Elves also struggled greatly.

So Gandalf wanted to persuade Wang Bo to bring out the super rice to benefit Middle-earth.
