Chapter 360: Making 34 More Deals...
Before we knew it, it was already late at night.
Xiao Yu glanced at the sky, his tone becoming serious: "Lord Xueye, the banquet is almost over. I am very satisfied with your warm hospitality. However... we should now discuss serious matters."
"Ah."
Lord Xueye, having drunk a few more cups, had a flushed face. Hearing Xiao Yu's words, he nodded in a deep voice and said, "It's time to talk about serious matters."
Hearing what the two said, everyone who had finished eating and drinking casually wiped their mouths and looked at the two.
"Lord of Snow Night City!"
Xiao Yu glanced indifferently at the Eastern City Lord, Sotun, raised an eyebrow, and said, "First, I'd like to confirm whether the terms of the deal the Eastern City Lord previously agreed to still stand?"
After all, Sotun had promised Chu Ling Shuang that he would send someone to Dragon City to study.
In addition, they promised to cooperate with Dragon City in promotion, encouraging residents of the City of Ruins to trade in Dragon City.
Upon hearing this, Sotun was once again filled with shame and embarrassment.
At the time, he felt that he was already the lord of the main city, so he made these decisions on his own.
However, to everyone's surprise...
"I think the deal that Sotun negotiated with Dragon City is excellent!"
The Lord of Snowy Night looked at the Lord of the Eastern City, Sotun, and nodded with a smile.
After the two reconciled, Sotun recounted his various experiences in Dragon City and some deals he had discussed with Dragon City.
Lord Xueye thought these things were indeed quite good.
Exchanging ideas and learning from Dragon City will be entirely beneficial to the City of Ruins.
He would have done the same thing if he were in his shoes.
"Besides, he is the future lord of the City of Ruins. His words are my words. Whatever decision he makes, I will support him unconditionally! The terms of the deal he agreed on with you do not need to be changed."
Upon hearing this, all the high-ranking officials of the City of Ruins were taken aback.
If what I said before was simply an affirmation of Sotun's decision.
So now, it means unconditional support for Sotun.
"Lord of the City, I..." Sotun's face was flushed, and he was filled with mixed emotions.
Seeing the approving look from the Lord of Snow Night City, he was even more moved.
"As expected of the Lord of Snow Night City!" Xiao Yu exclaimed upon seeing this scene.
This Lord of Snow Night City is able to govern such a large city not only because of his great strength.
His magnanimity and personal charm were also awe-inspiring to Xiao Yu.
"Lord Xiao Yu, you flatter me! Speaking of transactions, I'd also like to discuss them with you."
The Snow Night City Lord humbly cupped his hands in greeting and said in a serious tone, "I would like to ask City Lord Xiao Yu for help in building a crystal light shield above my Ruins City."
There are so many good things in Longcheng.
Various divine weapons, planting areas, breeding areas, various workshops, identity bracelets, etc...
It's simply unrealistic to move all the ruins of the city here.
For example, the identity bracelet is very useful, but the city of ruins has too many people.
They wanted Longcheng's help to put identity bracelets on everyone.
The energy stones required would probably be so numerous that even emptying the entire ruined city wouldn't be possible.
Compared to other factors, the crystal light shield is clearly more important to Lord Xueye City.
"This is good." All the executives' eyes lit up.
Many of them had been to Dragon City and thought the light shield there was really amazing.
However, Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Building this light shield will cost ten million. Moreover... it's only suitable for my Dragon City, not for other places."
"What?" The expressions of everyone in the City of Ruins changed slightly.
Xiao Yu seemed to hear the sound of countless hearts breaking.
It wasn't that they thought it was too expensive, but rather that Xiao Yu said it wasn't suitable for them.
Lord Xueye frowned and asked, "Why is that? We can discuss the price. Lord Xiao Yu, please just name your price, as long as I can afford it."
The city of ruins was shrouded in sandstorms, which caused great distress to my daughter.
The residents of the city were also suffering terribly.
It's rare to find a solution that can solve this problem, so we should definitely try to get it.
Let alone a mere ten million, he would have twenty million without hesitation! As long as he had it!
Xiao Yu shrugged and said, "Because having a crystal shield alone is useless. If the entire city is covered, and you don't have large plants to replenish the oxygen, it's easy for you to run out of oxygen."
At night, it's basically impossible to light torches, as it would create a strong feeling of suffocation.
If too many torches are lit, survival may not be possible.
"this..."
Upon hearing this, Xueye and the others all frowned.
After seeing the crystal light shield of Longcheng, they were very envious and wanted to get one.
But now... there's actually such a hidden danger.
They don't need a crystal cover; they're only affected by the wind and sand.
Wearing a crystal shield can affect breathing.
Not to mention, if you can't even light torches at night, wouldn't spies and thieves in every city be in an uproar?
Without lighting a torch, it is absolutely impossible, no matter what.
Xueye thought for a moment, then asked unwillingly, "Isn't there any other way?"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "This involves another transaction."
"Is there really a way?" Xue Ye and the other executives were all overjoyed.
Completely unaware of the slight curve at the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth.
"That's right!"
Xiao Yu took a sip of his post-drinking tea and nodded calmly. "It's just a problem of oxygen deficiency, isn't it? Solving it is simple. You just need to make two more deals with me, or maybe three or four..."
Upon hearing this, Honglian and the other girls covered their mouths.
There was no way they could hold back any longer; Xiao Yu was about to trick them.
“City Lord Xiao Yu, please tell me first,” said City Lord Xue Ye, his lips twitching.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, he already had a bad feeling.
However, I still don't want to give up my wish for my daughter to be able to fly freely in the sky.
Sure enough, the next second, Xiao Yu said eloquently, "If there is a lack of oxygen, just plant a lot of trees in the City of Ruins. My Dragon City can take care of that for you."
"I'm afraid that won't work; planting trees consumes a lot of water," a senior official interjected.
“Yes. The City of Ruins used to have many trees, back then…” another high-ranking official said with a wry smile.
The ancient city of ruins also had many trees and abundant water sources.
But in the end, these water sources were consumed by the inhabitants of the ruined city.
Without water, the trees dried up and died one after another.
As the trees disappeared, the surrounding desert expanded and grew larger...
Of course, the city of ruins is not entirely without water.
There are some large natural rivers nearby, but those water sources are polluted by acid rain or dense black gas. If anyone drinks them, they will either suffer immediate intestinal perforation or turn into a mad monster...
Those water sources are so polluted that even plants that come into contact with them will turn into a pile of rotten wood.
"Isn't there any other way?" The higher-ups all smiled wryly.
Even the array master Ashu looked at Xiao Yu with anticipation in his eyes.
Although he was aloof and disliked interacting with people.
But the people here still respect him, and the city of ruins is his home.
“Yes, Lord Xiao Yu…” Xue Ye also smiled bitterly.
"It's just a water source, right? I can help you with that!" Xiao Yu said casually, shrugging his shoulders.
It was as if they were talking about a trivial matter.
"Lord Xiao Yu, aren't you exaggerating a bit?" The loyal servant standing respectfully behind Lord Xue Ye muttered in a low voice.
Although he is the third strongest in the City of Ruins.
Despite being stronger than the three city lords of the northwest, south, and north, he always considered himself a servant of the Xue family, and despite his advanced age, he didn't even have a companion.
Because of his actions, most people in the city of ruins respected him.
Even if he speaks too casually to the Xue family, no one will blame him.
"Hehe." Xiao Yu smiled faintly and glanced at Zhong Nu.
The words instantly made the withered old man tremble and obediently shut his mouth.
