Chapter 114 Liu Ruyan: Next time we meet, I'm going to smash you to death with an energy stone!
"This city is not worth our time to stay any longer, it's time to go!" Xiao Yu waved his hand and said.
Even if they set up a stall for another six or seven days, they probably won't sell much.
"Okay, brother!" Honglian said, remembering something. "Oh, right, that woman is gone."
"Oh, they're finally gone?" Hearing this, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, Liu Ruyan has tried every possible method to see him.
However... Xiao Yu refused to see him and didn't want to talk to him at all.
Thankfully... that annoying woman is finally gone.
"Immediately notify them to prepare for departure!"
A moment later, the earth dragon turtle slowly stood up and headed towards the wilderness.
"Phew~ They're finally gone!" The elders breathed a sigh of relief as they saw the Earth Dragon Turtle leave.
And somewhere in the wilderness at this moment.
As if sensing something, Liu Ruyan, who was on her way, suddenly stopped.
Her gaze seemed to travel hundreds of miles to see the giant tortoise running wildly.
"Have you set off yet?"
These past few days, Xiao Yu has been avoiding her, which has greatly displeased Liu Ruyan.
Fortunately... she learned from Honglian and others that Xiao Yu's next stop was the trade fair.
"Xiao Yu, see you again in half a month!"
Next time we meet... I'll smash you to death with an energy stone! Hmph!
……
Meanwhile, somewhere in the wilderness.
Two figures, one tall and one short, draped in black cloaks, raced across the wilderness.
"Wait, I smell their scent!" The slightly shorter figure suddenly stopped.
She sniffed around on the ground and in the woods, and her pupils immediately contracted.
"There's no mistake...it's their scent, they've been here!"
"Now that we've found it, let's give chase!" Another figure was quite tall, with a slightly husky voice, but it was still clear that it was a woman's voice.
"Time is running out! If we don't capture them within a month, we won't get the potion. And then... I'm sure you don't want to endure that kind of pain again."
"Hmph! Got it!"
……
Early morning, in the meeting hall of the city lord's mansion.
A group of people sat around an oval wooden table that was five or six meters long.
The person seated in the main seat is City Lord Xiao Yu.
On the left, in order, are Red Lotus Starry Sky, June Four Joys Seven Kills, Chen Dragon and Xiao Yu...
On the right were Chu Ling Shuang, the pharmacist Xiao Cao, Tie Nan, and several third and fourth-tier blacksmiths...
"You've been in Dragon City for a few days now, are you settling in?" Xiao Yu asked Chu Ling Shuang and the others with a warm smile.
"I'm used to it! It's really nice here!"
Chu Ling Shuang looked at Xiao Yu gratefully, her tone sincere.
"Yes, yes! Thank you so much, Lord City Lord!"
Iron Man and several fourth-tier experts nodded repeatedly, expressing their gratitude.
In the past, in Divine Weapon City, people lived in dilapidated stone houses or thatched huts, lacking food and water...
But now, they live in extremely luxurious, spacious, and high-end stone houses, safe and warm, with plenty of food, an endless supply of water every day, and even the ability to take baths using the water...
For Chu Ling Shuang, the young lord of Divine Weapon City, this kind of life was paradise.
For these roughnecks, it was a life of luxury they could only dream of.
Tie Nan and the others were even more surprised that the city lord was going to hold a meeting and would invite them to attend.
Doesn't that mean the city lord already considers them as middle to upper management?
"That's good."
Xiao Yu smiled with satisfaction, "In that case, let's talk about the future development of Dragon City."
Since the people from Divine Weapon City had just joined, Xiao Yu was in no hurry to involve them in related matters.
Now that I've adapted for a few days, it's time to fully integrate.
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, everyone perked up and sat up straight.
"The most important resource for the development of our power is energy stones. Therefore, the next event for Dragon City is the trade fair held every two months, as everyone knows." Xiao Yu said, then smiled at the crowd and asked, "Any good ideas are welcome to share..."
After flipping through the animal-hide notebook and reviewing the transaction data of Divine Weapon City, Honglian spoke first:
"During our trip to Divine Weapon City, we earned nearly two million energy stones... The most sold item was water... while the most profitable were vegetables and seedlings... Iron swords and armor were the least sold..."
Therefore...we should prioritize the development of agriculture and ceramics manufacturing...
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
With the glow-in-the-dark trees in place, agriculture has become a pillar industry of Longcheng, so it should naturally be ranked first.
Pottery making...is also very important because it involves using containers to hold water!
"This isn't enough!" Chu Ling Shuang said after thinking carefully for a moment.
"I've been to the trade fair. There are so many participating forces and such a wide variety of goods. In comparison, the goods in Dragon City are rather monotonous..."
For many people, there are just too many good things in Longcheng.
However, Xiao Yu's goal was to make a fortune at the trade fair.
These goods alone are not enough.
“Once the glowing tree evolves again, vegetable production will increase significantly, so output won't be a problem. However…” Xiao Yu nodded in agreement, then added, “Ling Shuang is right, our product variety is indeed too limited…”
He thought for a moment, then looked at Chenlong and said, "Here's what we'll do... When you go out hunting, look for wild vegetables, wild fruits, and trees. In short... bring back everything that is edible!"
In the wasteland, most people can't even solve their basic needs for food and clothing.
But this does not include those powerful superhumans!
As long as you have the strength of the third or fourth tier, you won't have to worry about food and drink.
These people are all about eating and drinking well!
However... the wasteland world is lacking in resources, and food is extremely scarce!
The earth dragon turtle mainly travels in the morning and stops to rest in the afternoon.
During this period, the soldiers would hunt ferocious beasts, which was one of their daily training tasks.
They would bring back any edible vegetables and fruits they found during their hunting trips.
Xiao Yu thus discovered plants such as chili peppers and sweet potatoes, but unfortunately they were all wild.
Fortunately, the presence of bioluminescent trees accelerated the evolution of these plants.
In a month or two at most, these bitter-tasting wild vegetables will be transformed into exquisite delicacies.
Then... Dragon City will become a food paradise!
These exquisite delicacies alone are enough to attract countless people to come here!
"Yes! Rest assured, Lord City Lord!" Chenlong bowed and replied.
"Honglian is in charge of both agriculture and pottery making, with Xiaoyu assisting her."
After arranging the two pillar industries of Dragon City, Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Cao, the girl beside Chu Ling Shuang, and asked, "Xiao Cao, how is the research on the enhancement elixir going?"
"Ok?"
The girl scratched her messy gray hair blankly before realizing what she was doing, and nodded, saying:
"Oh, we've made progress on the second and third tier enhancement drugs. As long as our physical strength is sufficient, we can try them. As for the fourth and fifth tiers... we'll need to research them for a while longer, and... we don't have enough of the necessary ingredients."
