Chapter 207 – Florida Man Officially Proclaimed Mount Everest as His Land and Built an Oil Refinery on It. Climbers Protested as They No Longer Had a Place to Dump Their Trash.
Inside the mountain cave, Leo admired the newly created factory machinery, which automatically drilled and extracted the mountain's black rock. They worked from the top down so that the mountain wouldn't collapse on the machines.

Two sub-quests in Leo's quest menu were completed as a result. He couldn't be happier.

Leo only needed to wait for a guardian statue to return with another earth fate crystal. Then, he would complete another set of quests and get to try his luck with the gacha again.
As his trip here was completed, Leo shifted his attention to his new goal – resource gathering. He eyed the black lava pit.
"I have a feeling that I should collect these. Don't mind if I do."
Leo pulled out a handful of empty spatial rings and crouched at the edge of the pool. Then, he pointed a spatial ring toward the liquid.
A stream of boiling liquid entered the dimensional storage ring. 10 minutes later, the ring's capacity was filled, but the lava pool was still full to the brim.
"…"
Leo was perplexed as the spatial ring's capacity in his hand was the best among the best. It could store 1,000 cubic kilometers of liquid!
Yet, the lava pool never decreased!
Leo worked on the second ring. Again, the second ring was full, but the pool's level stayed unchanged.
"Hohoh. Are you challenging me? Fine. Challenge accepted!"
Leo put on 10 spatial rings at once and sucked the lava into his storage ring.
10 minutes later, Leo stared at the mysterious lava pool. No matter how fast Leo's spatial rings sucked the content, it never decreased by a millimeter.
"Something wasn't right. There might be something mysterious at the bottom of the pit! Should I take a look?"
Leo was tempted to dive into the lava pool to see why the liquid remained the same. However, he remembered that Esen and others were still waiting for him.
For the sake of others, Leo postponed the project for now. He turned his attention to the white spiral stairs next.
"I'll take these. Thank you."
Leo was interested in the stair's material. He touched it and stored the entire structure in one of his rings. Then, he kicked the ground and flew out of the vertical cave.
.
.
Leo came down from the mountain and returned to his battle bus.
When Esen and her subordinates saw him, they were overjoyed.
"You're back!" Esen revealed her rare cheerful smile to Leo.
"Oh." Leo was surprised, "You're quite a looker when you're smiling. You should smile more."
"!!!" Esen's red flushed and averted her eyes in embarrassment.
"We're done here. Let's go home."
"Huh?" Ivy and Esen were puzzled. "What about your creation?! You just created those."
"Oh, that? That's just pure capitalistic industry. Nothing to worry about."
"Your speech is weird sometimes, geezer…I understand the word "industry", but what's Ca-pi-tan-lees?"
"…A rich quick scheme, but you don't have to work."
"Sounds like a scam."
Leo forgot about his location and time. He puffed his chest and explained.
"It isn't so. Fundamentally, it refers to a low-key way to exploit the working-class population by forcing them to spend their hard-earned money on overpriced housing and medical bills. We also trick them into pursuing a luxurious lifestyle, which consequences in overwhelming debts that they can't pay off in their lifetime. They will spend the rest of their lives slaving away to pay their debts, interests, and taxes which, in the end, return to our pockets so that we spread freedom..."
"???"
"COUGH! AHEM! I mean, this system brings prosperity and wealth to your subordinates so that they can enjoy their freedom! We spread freedom!" Leo coughed and stopped himself from explaining the useless parts. He smacked his forehead because he got carried away.
"Oh!"
Fortunately, Esen was still clueless. She didn't see anything wrong with the explanation.
Leo turned around and gazed at the refinery factory. Then, he glanced at a system screen next to him. It showed the function of the refinery.
.
Immortalium Refinery
This refinery automatically extracts and refines immortalium ores into immortalium ingots. All completed products will be collected at the local warehouse until it is full.
Hint: If you connect your territory to the refinery, you can create a teleportation device to transport the ingots to your domain.
.
There was nothing Leo could do at the moment. It would take ten thousand free expansion tickets to connect his domain to this place, which was a thousand kilometers north of Cauliflower City. At best, he would delegate some strong workers from his domain to transport ingots from this place to his place.
"We're done here. Let's go home."
With Leo's lead, the team returned to the bus. Everybody made their journey back home.
.
As Leo was exhausted from this trip, he put the bus on auto-pilot mode. Then, he made his way to his bed to rest. As usual, he stripped everything and collapsed in his bed.
10 minutes later, Esen sneaked into Leo's room. Ivy also accompanied her. They entered Leo's bedroom and found him snoring and drooling.
Ivy grinned, "This is our chance, Your Majesty."
"U-Um."
Esen's face was bright red. She took off her clothes and slipped into the bed. Without connecting a body part, she closed her eyes and cuddled with him to cultivate.
Virgin yang Qi continuously flowed from Leo into Esen's body. His thick and overwhelming Qi and essence slowly stimulated her body from the inside, causing her to pant and moan. Her body twitched and shivered in ecstasy.
Being drunk in Leo's toxic energy, Esen wanted more. She pressed her naked chest against his and hugged him.
Meanwhile, Ivy widely grinned and covered her mouth with her fingers. Everything went according to her plans.
"Keep going, Your Majesty. You're doing great!"
