After Rin left, Mansam was still feeling a bit uneasy and said to the staff standing nearby:
"You should also go and help. Please wait for the damage report first and repair the damage as soon as possible. Do not delay the work of the workshop."
After all, the food processed here accounts for nearly 30% of what is consumed in the human world. If there is even a slight delay, thousands of people in the human world may go hungry.
"Yes!" The staff nodded in response and immediately turned to leave.
At this time, Mansam looked back at Loki and the others. Except for Loki, the other four girls looked at him in surprise as he grinned:
"Are you the foreign aid that President Ichiryu mentioned?"
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Mansam. As you can see, I am responsible for overseeing this place."
"..." x5
After hearing those goofy words, the girls felt the Director's briefly imposing aura instantly vanish. Sure enough, this guy is basically a thug!
"Ahem, hello, Director. I am Tione."
"Hello, Uncle. My name is Tiona!"
"Lefiya, please treat me well."
"Ais."
"Loki."
After a moment of silence, the women also introduced themselves.
"If there is no one else, then I suppose we are the ones you call foreign aid." Mansam nodded and asked, "I heard that you took a trip to the Wul Jungle today, right?"
"Yes, we caught the target species too," Tiona said with some pride.
"Hah! Very good! Very good!"
"You were able to capture the target ingredients from the Wul Jungle in just one day. It seems you are quite capable."
"It is truly happy news to have such strong foreign aid like you."
"So, please look after me from now on. I have a lot of ingredients here that need help capturing. I think there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future."
"Well, then I ask the Director to take good care of us in the future as well."
The two sides exchanged polite words, and Mansam took the initiative to propose:
"It is your first time here, so I guess you do not know much about this place. Let me show you around."
"We would appreciate that."
The processing of the ingredients takes some time, and since the girls were currently free, they did not refuse. They were also very curious about the Biotope.
"Biotopes like this, also known as ecological reserves, were created by the IGO to observe and study food ingredients. There are eight in total in the human world. This is the 1st Biotope, referred to as G1."
"Its original intention was only to study and protect endangered species, or to revive certain species through cloning technology, and finally release them back into nature to restore the ecological balance."
"But later, due to the dawn of the Gourmet Era, the world's population expanded significantly over a long period, and the demand for food skyrocketed. Several food shortage crises occurred, and wars even broke out again in some areas."
"To this end, the IGO followed up by carrying out research on food cultivation. We began to use the land resources at hand to conduct large-scale planting and breeding to supply food to the world."
"The result of this project is the G1 Biotope."
"Because this is the largest of the eight Biotopes and has a relatively low risk factor, it is the most suitable for implementing this project."
"Through the continuous efforts of our staff, the G1 Biotope currently has tens of millions of hectares of planting area and hundreds of millions of livestock. Improved varieties and breeding techniques, as well as planting methods, have been iterated hundreds of times. The total output now accounts for approximately 30% of the world's total consumption."
Mansam proudly introduced the history and great achievements of the G1 Biotope.
"Whoa, that's awesome!"
"Hiss! Nearly 30% of the world's food comes from right here?"
"Isn't this just outrageous?!"
Except for Ais, who was in a bit of a daze, and Loki, who did not care much, the other three girls were stunned. Although they did not know the total population of this world, the figure of 30% of world consumption was enough to shock them.
It was unbelievable to imagine how the IGO was able to produce so many ingredients from just one Biotope. It can only be said that this other world is truly magical. At the same time, this gave them a very positive impression of the IGO. An organization that implements such a huge project to maintain nature and eliminate war is clearly a good one.
In fact, the IGO does so much good that people trust them from the bottom of their hearts. To a certain extent, the IGO's reputation among the people is even better than that of many government officials. Some politicians will even promote their country becoming an IGO member as a means to win over the public.
Mansam took the five girls on a tour, showing them everything from the various workshops to the outdoor planting fields and breeding facilities. They looked through the G1 Biotope before returning to the original processing workshop. By this time, all the ingredients captured by the five girls had been processed.
Approaching the pile of neatly packed ingredients, Mansam smiled and said:
"According to the agreement, we will take a portion as our share, and the rest is yours."
It must be said that Mansam is very satisfied with this harvest. Although many ingredients are produced in the G1 Biotope, they are mostly common, low-grade goods. There are almost no ingredients above level three here, and high-end ingredients are usually only occasional by-products of failed experiments.
In the past, if you wanted to obtain high-end ingredients, you would have to go through a lot of trouble, sending out large numbers of people or entrusting Gourmet Hunters like Toriko, who might eat most of the catch themselves.
It is nothing like the present, where they can obtain so many high-end ingredients effortlessly. It can only be said that the people from Dimensional City are very reliable. Not only do they ensure the target is captured, but they also bring back extra high-end ingredients on their own initiative. This is better than anything they had dared to hope for.
"Okay, thank you for the help this time."
"It is no trouble, just doing my job."
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, the five women did not hesitate. They packed up the ingredients and headed toward the Dimensional Gate, returning with a full harvest. At this time, Rin was directing the men to repair the wall while peeking over just as the girls were leaving.
She looked at the spot where the five girls had disappeared and asked:
"Director Mansam, who were they? And what was that door just now?"
