"I didn't hear you nicely, it must be my old age. Did you say we are no longer accepting members in the base?" Old Mo is dumbfounded by her words.

"That is exactly what I mean. We don't want overcrowding." Amelia responded as a matter of fact.

"What do we do when people come?" The old dean felt his lips twitching at her words.

"We have rescued and welcomed many people already. For now we need to be able to feed and provide shelter for them and then slowly think about becoming saints." Amelia said in an even tone.

Old Mo's lips twitched again hearing her say it like this. "What if they want to commit crimes and hurt our people outside when they go the hunt zombies?" He asked in concern.

"We can offer them a few supplies for the road to the other nearby bases. Isn't that reasonable?"

"Moreover, if they persist then just shoot them down. For now I need a detailed record of every member in the system in the future, we can consider our people first. Created ID for the base membership." This place was initially a hospital with its own ID machine.

"That makes sense. However, our base is only occupied up to less than a quarter of it's full capacity. Why are you closing doors now?"

"Winter is coming. I have reliable sources telling me it will be very cold to the point of bone chilling. Look outside, the heat is already too much during the day." She told him and he agreed.

If winter will really be so awful, than they must tighten their belts. Who knows how long it will last?

Amelia smiled seeing his expression. "You are not so saintly after all."

"Give me the relevant reports." She commanded ignoring his embarrassed face.

"Don't you have secretaries? Why am I doing all this work? Giving you secretaries was so you can know everything from them. This is why every department report directly to them now." Old Mo said looking at her in exasperation.

"Just do it. They went on errands for me so they can't be part of this meeting."

"What errands? Don't over work the kids, it will be bad for their health." Dean Mo cautioned.

"Instead of worrying about other people's lives you should be paying more attention to your old bones. Look how you are seated."

Mo set up straight and sneered at her. "Don't change the subject. What did you send them to do?"

"In the new night-less market I have 6 buildings to conduct business for the base, four are six story while two are two story buildings. They all belong to me. Three are already in use, one is going to be a night club, one is a hotel and the last one is going to be a brothel." Amelia said straightforwardly.

"Caugh, caugh....why are you doing that type of business?"

"We have over 5800 soldiers only 2000 are women. How long do you think this base will remain peaceful? The only way to achieve that is for women to take on multiple men as lovers. How peaceful will the base be at that time?" Amelia calmly explained the situation to the old man.

"Still, this kind of thing..." Old Mo's face became hesitant.

"You look refined but you are still a straight man after all. These people go out to fight everyday they will eventually need to vent."

"You said it yourself, we have less women. Whose woman will leave an honest paying job to go and be humiliated everyday?" Mo is not convinced.

Amelia didn't answer and took out a notice giving it to old Mo to read through. Old Mo put on his glasses but in truth he doesn't need them anymore and it's all thanks to the mysterious food he eats with the children and that he has become a supernatural power user.

The notice is very clear with bold characters. The women and men who are willing to work as escorts to accompany customers in bed for money, will receive a two bedroom flat in the exclusive flats that in the new upper east side of the base.

This is a location designated for high end community residents that no amount of money can afford. Only those recognized by the base will live there.

The flat will be fully furnished, the food will be free for them to choose the freshest ingredients from the base supplies point exclusive to this residential community.

They will be provided will a beauty pill that will only be made for this group of people. It will turn anyone who eats it into a 20 year old regardless of how old they were before.

After consuming the pill, one will gain superior skin, hair, every part of the body is improved.

They will get to buy mystical beauty medicine products brewed by a high level alchemist. Every escort will have at least one maidservant tending to their every need.

If they become a favorite, they will get more servants and a better residence in a villa area that will be build after the up coming winter season.

Any blemishes on their bodied will be removed. Be it a scar, any mark or wrinkles and pimples will be taken care of free of charge.

Old woman and old men are welcome to apply. Any sickness will be cleansed or suppressed.

Old Mo looked at her in shock. "Is there really such medicine?"

Amelia took out a shining blue pill. It has intricate designs that seem mysterious and magical on the outside. She had used the weeping willow plant as an ingredient instead of a fruit only found in the upper realms and she was still able to make higher quality and medium quality pills.

Drinking the juice from the plant directly will make person look younger and feel younger by at most 5 to 10 years which is why she had told Qin Ai not to give the girl too much of the staff since she is only 16 years old.

However, the pill she made is far more reaching. Normal people will live 150 years looking younger when the quality is good. When it is high, it is 300 years. When it is excellent the years are 500. Superior quality is 1000 and the last stage of 5 stars that endures heavily lightning is 3 to 5 000 Years of lifespan.

The ones she will give out are those with 150 years of lifespan. She will tell each person before they take it.

Taking one of these will turn a 90 year old into a 20 year old in one day. She didn't give it to old Mo even when he reached for it.

"It seems magical." Old Mo said and swallowed.

"It is. When one eats it they will remain young for 300 years." She said lightly and old Mo chocked on air.

"You are joking." She said hitting the desk.

"Not joking. Now I want to know if I can lure in the fishes. In any case the place is being decorated and turned into a relaxation spot. There is massaging equipment and oils. My secretaries are responsible for the task." Amelia concludes.

"You have thought about everything leader." Old Mo said in slight envy.

"I hope so." She said lightly. "Now, give that report."

"Fine." He said. "The wall you built is very sturdy but animals are occasionally climbing through the trees and jumping inside."

"Does that mean mutated meat is coming to the door?" Amelia thought it is funny but old Mo thinks it is dangerous.

"Alright, I will make the trees go even further away from the base." Amelia noted.

"Two teams were formed and they came back from the factory areas with all the factory equipment for food processing and the know how to make clothes from scratch.

There were 5 casualties and two who became crippled. We don't have a place to house the crippled." Old Mo said with slight sadness. "Luckily they have friends."

"Oh, were they members of the base army?"

"No, they were normal supernatural power users living in the outside buildings."

"They have guts." Amelia admitted.

"The group is still buying them convenience products, they were buying a wheelchair a while ago." Old Mo sighed.

"Move on." Seeing him dwell on this one topic Amelia wanted to continue.

"The factories are being built as we speak. Many people have also gone to hunt mutated meat like you have advised and the taste is indeed very delicious. It just they were all injured badly. Most would have died if not for the emergency kit you sold at 50 level one crystal nucleus for 5 sets."

"May I ask what do you intent to do with so many crystal nucleus?" Old Mo is indeed not the only one curious. The base hives so much materials an train soldiers to collect this stuff that no one knows what to do with.

"It is the currency old Mo. It can also increase your power." She gave him a level one purified crystal nuclei.

"Eat it."

"Why is it so brilliant?"

"I purified it. So it can be eaten directly." Amelia said shocking old Mo.

He ate it and his eyes lit up. "So useful?"

"Yeah. In the furniture it will have even more uses." Amelia assured him. She showed him how to absorb power from an unpurified crystal nuclei and told him to teach it to the soldiers. She had forgotten not many people knew the use of this item yet.

"Alright. I am convinced now." Mo said.

"The wall is painted in that staff that turns materials into metal so it is even more sturdy than the inner wall. When factories are built, the extra food will be canned and stored for future use. We can process oils and other food now. So we will really need that mutated meat and the relevant plants. Luckily several sunflowers are growing well all thanks to you leader."

He is really in awe of this little girl. She is like a high life form able to tell what will ne needed in one glance. This is why their storages are full and the peole are happy.

"The shadow guardians training is coming along nicely considering they were civilians before. But they are basically still getting their asses beaten out there." Old Mo laughed.

"Half the first market stalls are rented already and rent crystals are coming in."

Amelia has in fact been getting more money lately and now she is a littke rich woman. But it is hardly enough. By now the base leaders around the world are collecting it as well.

"The crops are growing well and we are paying the farmers very well. The new 13 floor building you requested in the upper east side is going to be getting final touches and in a week only furniture will be missing."

"I already provided the overall internal design of the place and the furniture is already available. I even have floor heating and air conditioners for each flat. This is going to be the first residential building I build for my workers, so of course it will be amazing."

"Yes, I even saw multiple gardens with pretty chairs and round tables with a fancy looking picnic permanent umbrella." Mo said in slight discontentment.

"You can become an escort and live there." There is a sly smile on her face as she coax him gently.

Old Mo's face became dark. "Not on your life."

Amy shrugged at his words. "Continue." She said to him.

"Mr. Qin has requested a meeting with you for a week straight being denied by your secretaries."

"I was busy brewing medicine and pills. So I told them not to disturb me. What does Mr. Qin want?"

"He wont say."

"The farm animals are growing well but if they multiply too much we wont be able to feed them." Mo cautioned.

"The soldiers are almost 6000 with the average power level of 5. The initial people without the ability to awaken have all gotten those spirit root fruits from the nine kings and now everyone is training their bodies and supernatural powers daily under the instructions of the group of former policemen and women. This was organized by the nine kings."

"The metal king has been helping with repairs on the factory equipment. So they will be installed as soon as the factory buildings are completed." Old Mo said happily.

Amelia frowned when she heard this. Why is she wasting her time instead of training?

"The soldiers found a warehouse in the city with a larger storage underground keeping uniforms fir soldiers and the color is separated into green, blue, black, red, purple, brown, orange dark grey, golden, and white."

"The place must have been preparing for an unusually large order probably for a movie with thousands of extras. Because there are more absurd costumes than a red solder uniform." Old Mo said with a gossipy tone.

"What happened to these uniforms?"

"They are not touched the quality of the material is really good and the number is tens of thousands. How long did it take them to make so much? But that was a large factory. These uniforms are not the only thing found.

"The process of making cloth and various other items such as shoes and home couches and general hard fabric to make blankets, curtains, mattresses and more. All we need now are the materials."

"Why do you sound proud?"

"That is because I am proud, you should see our lower ground storages. They are full to the brim with all sort of things. Now I understand why you spent so much increasing the strength of the army. Soon, not a single item will be left for passersby the all the three nearest cities."

Amelia remembers she only focused on the wholesale shops and their warehouses. She didn't go to the factories at that time.

"As a result, we will soon have clothing fabrics factories and food factories." Old Mo continued narrating.

"The several water tanks you provided have been very helpful."

"I want to build a ring for fighting. Where do you think it should be?" Amelia suddenly said.

"No, what are you thinking promoting violence like that?" First its the brothels now it is this type of thing. What is on her mind?

Amelia chuckles at his judgement. "Have you gone outside to fight zombies?" She asked him seriously.

"No." He became appalled. Does she want to punish him with fighting zombies?

"That is why your reaction is like that. Think about going to fight an enemy that never tire, never gives up always trying to destroy you at all cost. Can you handle such a thing? and then coming home to find your wife nagging about some insignificant things and wasting money of useless items. Money you bled for outside. Wouldn't it be good if you can find someone to punch the daylight out at that time?" The tone is even but the words make old Mo feel a chill up his spine.

"I understand." He remembers the people who joined the army are not the same anymore. The look is fierce and the aura on the body is bloody.

"How about the underground parking?" Mo asked.

"No, when they get more powerful they will bring down the buildings."

"We can build this place in the night club I will open soon. I will get the builders to open a large space underground and open an arena there." She rubbed her eyebrows.

This will require a lot of formation inscriptions from her to keep the place sturdy no mater how powerful the fighter in the ring are. More soul force expenditure. The formations require should force she doubts she can substitute it with mental power like last time.

"That is a good Idea since it is far from residence." Times like these she is glad to have taken advantage of Agatha and created a larger base space by having the wall pushed furthest from the buildings.

"Another report is about the new locks on the storage warehouse and the various emergency facilities with supplies." He took out a round ball made from glass. If one puts their jade slip on top it will show the places opened in the base access points in chronological order, time of entry and when you press on it a recording of the entry will show up.

This is how the old and valuable scrolls are kept safe in the immortal school. This recording device is not easy to make, which is why she only made one for every warehouse and the gates.

The important thing is that the records can stay for hundreds of years, and because of the special jade she acquired last time, she put the spirit stones in the jade and fueled the artifact. Old Mo has one, she has one and each of her secretaries have one.

There are smaller recording talismans for short videos.

Those don't need an access device because it will only record a handful of videos unlike the heavy recording system inside this recording artifact.

The useful resource in making them is the special jade and the medium to higher level spirit stones in the space.

"I was able to catch a few thieves because of this magical devise of yours they are now unemployed an black listed from working in the base." He said angrily.

"They have the gall to look at me and lie to my face. I just fired them and they had to move their entire families out of the main building."

Amelia laughed seeing his angry look. But she is glad people will not steal anymore. She really can't spare anything for the thieves.

...

"It has been a few days how is it going with the building?" Amelia looked at the flustered secretary Shu and the beaming Bai.

"The construction for the underground arena is going to begin tomorrow. Everything is in place." Bai said excitedly.

"I appreciate your enthusiasm but let it show when it's just us. Understand?"

"Understood." Bai said seriously.

"That goes for you too. Learn to mask your emotions."

"Yes leader." She answered.

"Now, continue."

"We have recruits. 12 are people with one foot in the grave. 8 women and 4 men. The next batch is made up of widows, disfigured girls and former escorts. 13 young men and 22 women." Miss Shu said formerly.

"When do I meet them?"

"This afternoon in your study."

"Alright."

"There's more. Some of the farmers also want to change jobs but we told them to wait until their own contract is up. In fact many people find the offer too tempting to refuse." Miss Shu concluded.

"Of course there are problems. Others are not just insulting people who are applying but also the four of us and...the base leader."

"I see, don't mind them unless they get up in your face then you can kill them directly." Amelia said.

A while later.

"You are all aware if the implications of this job? You will seduce and sleep with the customers who chose you. But don't worry, you have an option of refusing any customer you don't want to serve."

"Really?" A tall woman asked in surprise.

"Yeah, you are not slaves, I will be paying you to bring happiness to the base but not at your own pain or suffering. I will have people protecting you at all times." Amelia assured.

"Can you really cure my disfigured skin?"

"What about my scar?"

"My wrinkles."

"I will do as I have said. But first you have to sign here and go through a series of check ups and profiling." She took out a nondisclosure agreement and an employment contract.

"As you can see, you can only get money and high quality food, clothing and sanitary products when you work and make money. If you haven't had customers it's okay you will have a place to stay but will receive only basic necessities and basic food. Your maid will remain serving you on their own."

After they signed she took back the contracts and spoke again. "You will have the beauty treatment sold to you only two times a month. But your skin and body will be naturally beautiful already it's just, there are bathing and other beauty related products which you will realize it's value after using it."

"There are plenty of rooms previously prepared for the guardians. The secretaries will take you there." She gave to the assistants.

"You should know that after eating this pill you will lose your ability to age until 150 years later." She heard gasps of surprise.

"Don't worry you are not immortal. You can still die within this time but not from age unless there is an accident."

"I will see you tomorrow after you have done your check ups and have profiles." The people left following the assistants to the medical rooms for check ups and physical.
