Kai stood in his merge chamber, eyes scanning MergeCore's weekly breakdown.
The MergeMart ecosystem was stable. Too stable.
Eggs. Lettuce. Grainleaf. MergeMilk. MergePork. MergeCigarettes.
Every product was producing millions.
But dominance wasn't just money.
It was influence.
đ§Ș MergeTobacco Tier Upgrade
Kai revisited his tobacco line.
The current MergeCigarettes were popular â cleaner, smoother, less addictive. But that wasn't enough.
He merged:
[Tier 4 MergeTobacco + Tier 4 MergeTobacco] = Tier 5
[Trait: Nicotine Modulation]
[Trait: Cognitive Focus Boost]
[Trait: No Carcinogenic Residue]
Kai now had the first performance-enhancing cigarette in the world.
He licensed it to MergeFit under the brand: "MergeBurn" â a clean stimulant for executives, drivers, and night shift workers.
Demand exploded.
𧱠MergeStructure Phase 2: The Farm Grows Smarter
Kai upgraded every part of his operation:
MergeChickenCoops now tracked egg cycles and auto-balanced light exposure
MergeCropBeds adjusted nutrient flow based on real-time MergeYield scans
MergeBarns self-disinfected every 4 hours
A new MergeDistribution Hub was constructed underground to ship all products silently
Everything scaledâautomatically.
The best part?
No labor.
Just merge.
đ Tier Management Expansion
With every animal now tiered, Kai finalized his livestock sorting:
Tier 5 MergeCows: Oxmilk and Musclemilk variants
Tier 5 MergeChickens: Coldcluck, Sunfeather, and Stormhen lines
Tier 5 MergePigs: Titanblood, Silkfat, and Crunchboar
Each was now genetically locked through MergeCore Chain Bind, ensuring no reproduction outside his control.
He hired no scientists.
MergeCore handled everything.
đ Global Outreach (Still Controlled)
Humanitarian MergeFoods continued shipping across continents. Refugee zones in Africa, South Asia, and Central America reported children healing faster, people gaining weight within days, and massive decreases in illness.
Governments started asking questions.
Who was Kai?
Where was Kai?
He never responded.
Just sent more shipments.
đŠ MergeMart 2.0 Rollout Begins
Kai began soft-launching MergeMart 2.0:
Tiered product subscription boxes
Invite-only crypto MergeCard
MergeWallet pre-orders
Global fulfillment centers built using MergeBarn tech
He wasn't just scaling food.
He was building a shadow logistics empire.
And nobody could catch up.
