Chapter 31: Expansion of the wild territory

Mother grabbed her son’s arm quickly: “Oh, Dongdong, your father is just talking angry, don’t be as knowledgeable as him.”

Father Liu turned his face away, although he was worried that Liu Dong would leave, but he couldn’t set aside his pride and apologize to his son.

“That is, there is no overnight feud in the family. Now we have to work together to survive.” The fat man’s mother also joined in the advice.

Liu Dong remained unmoved: “Stop. If you dare to step forward, it means you have the intention to attack and kill me, the city lord.”

Liu Dong’s words froze the Liu family in a place like ice water. They did not dare to go forward, because the NPC obeyed the orders of the city lord.

Mother Liu was furious, her face flushed, and she cursed loudly, “Liu Dong! You are not afraid of thunder, you little bastard who abandoned your parents!”

“I was raised by you, I am a little bastard, so you are old bastards. We are just the same.”

Liu Dong left without looking back, turning a blind eye to the cursing words behind him. He was going to a faraway place to start again, he didn’t want to stay in Yangshan City anymore.

As for where to go, he will follow fate.

The result of Phantom City has sounded the alarm for all city-states in Yangshan City. If the conflicts in the city cannot be properly resolved and the lives of ordinary residents was blindly suppressed, then the city-state will not be able to survive even without the siege of beasts.

The Bounty Hall in Xuantian City has attracted residents to talk about it.

Its most powerful feature was not those basic functions, but an anonymous transaction.

Because people can trade anonymously, some residents in the city have already started selling or exchanging skill cards and professional cards of equal value.

A lot of time passed, and everyone thought that all the cards had been used up, but they didn’t expect that there were still people who were so stupid and kept extra cards, and endured for three months.

Professional cards were exchanged with the same value, and skill cards were negotiable. Because some skills were tasteless, and each person can only learn four skills, professional players chose carefully.

With this comparison, Lu Jiu realized how bold Shen Jufeng was back then, directly taking out the professional card to exchange.

The two looked at the recent financial report of the City Lord’s Mansion. First, the number of residents in the city increased to more than 4,000. In addition to the majority of professional players from Phantom City who moved in, there were also residents from other city-states who came here admiringly.

“During this period, I added two more mining teams, allowing the forging shop to produce 10,000 flower pots, which have been sold out, and everything else is normal.”

Due to the increase in residents, the demand for flower pots has not been resolved. Some players with blacksmith skills were making them by themselves.

It was just a pity, their skills were not up to standard. The flowerpots they produced have no accelerated growth effect, but they have a service life. Depending on the talent, the shortest was three months, and the longest was six months.

But at least it solves the urgent need and also allows these players who make flower pots to have a certain income.

“Since the situation in the city has stabilized, we should go to more places in Yangshan City to find out if there are other bosses. I don’t think there is only wild boar boss in Baiguo Forest in the whole of Yangshan City.”

This was what he and Lu Jiu have suspected for a long time. Instead of waiting for other players to find the boss’s location and share it in the dialogue box, it was better to take the initiative.

They can guarantee that no one will ask for a share the next time.

Lu Jiu made a little conspiracy theory: “Maybe there are bosses in other areas, but not like the wild boar.”

Shen Jufeng said: “It’s highly possible that we will not gain food all the time. But the important point is, we can get different materials.”

It was too shabby for several cities to stare at a wild boar. Even if one city was missing, there will be more wolves and fewer pigs.

The next time they want to grab it, it is estimated that those city lords can’t wait to fight Xuantian City.

“Before we leave, I will sell bicycles and add two mining teams. At present, mineral ores are too important. Adding special ores to the manufacture of a lot of equipment can improve the quality and attributes.”

This was what her talented junior NPC discussed with her. When other cities try to sell brown iron level equipment by luck, the brown iron level in her shop was already the basic model.

“The price of the bicycle is not low, but let’s leave it alone, it is a very good means of transportation.”

With this vehicle, the travel speed was more than half faster, but its benefits were not questionable to traveling teams.

“Where are we going then?” They got to pick a location.

Shen Jufeng unfolded the map, this time he picked a random place to go, anyway, they have to go through the territory of Yangshan City.

“You pick one, we can go anywhere.”

Lu Jiu pointed to Jinghe District. Yangshan City was a first-tier city. Before the end of the day, Jinghe District was the gathering place for enterprises in Yangshan City. Many large enterprise branches were established there.

Shen Jufeng’s branch was located there, and his hometown is also Yangshan City.

“Okay, just revisit the old place.”

“Do you want to find that Zhuang Yun again? It would be nice to have one more person, and he also told me about his skills, which are quite practical.”

Shen Jufeng sat up straight, a little interested: “Oh? Tell me.”

“He has two skills, the first one is called sharp weapon: using any weapon, the attack value is increased by 30%; The second one is called heavy blow: when it hits the opponent’s hand or an important part of the heart, the damage will be multiplied immediately, that is to say, it can be twice, or ten times, it all depends on luck, of course, the minimum is double.”

Shen Jufeng heard the random multiplier, and his whole person was no longer the lazy attitude before: “I like that sharp weapon and heavy blow. You can take him with you if you believe him.”

“How can you not believe him? He still has a daughter with him. Under such circumstances, he will do his best for his daughter.”

Zhuang Yun was a good father to his daughter, which cannot be pretended for a long time. The temporary cooperation last time also made him realize how good she and Shen Jufeng were.

Teaming up with them was a good choice.

Zhuang Yun stayed in the city for a few days without idleness. He made nearly a hundred flower pots by himself. In the beginning, the pots he made were so-so, and they only had a three-month lifespan.

Now, the service life was extended, and it can last up to five months, which was a great improvement.

Although they don’t look that good, every time Zhuang Yun takes them out for sale, they were sold out. The price of the flowerpots made by the residents was generally 5-25 copper coins, mainly depending on the lifespan.

Zhuang Yun can sell it for 12 copper coins, and his flowerpots can be used for more than 4 months.

As long as it was not ore, he can dig the soil all by himself. This does not require capital and only takes time.

After selling the flower pots that day, when he returned to my residence, he saw Lu Jiu waiting at the door of his house.

He opened the door before catching up his breath and greeted: “Miss Lu, come in and have a seat.”

Lu Jiu didn’t hesitate to go in and sit on the wooden chair. Zhuang Antong didn’t set up a stall with him today, Zhuang Yun let her go to the amusement park.

“Is there something wrong?” Zhuang Yun said and handed her a glass of water, Lu Jiu took the glass and nodded, and said: “Yes, Shen Jufeng and I are going to Jinghe District to find the whereabouts of other bosses. Do you want to go together?”

Of course, Zhuang Yun was willing, but he was worried about his daughter. Even if Zhuang Antong stays in the city: “Yes, but can I ask how long will it take?”

“There is no time limit this time. We are going out to try our luck, that is, we don’t know how many days we will go.”

Zhuang Yun didn’t answer, Lu Jiu knew he was thinking about his daughter. Because he didn’t know how many days the trip would take.
