Of course, the crowd wasn't here to watch Dafei reveal 'state secrets'. Seeing that the crowd couldn't see anything, most of them booed and dispersed, while a small group of paparazzi followed them. But even this small group had hundreds of people, and Dafei was starting to get annoyed.
Being a celebrity was really tiring. Dafei said to the three soldiers, "You guys go to the docks and supervise the unloading of the goods. I'll go to the capital to settle some matters."
The soldiers immediately understood, "Brother Fei, take your time. Leave this place to us, and we won't let anyone take advantage of this."
Dafei nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, I'll be on my way."
As for how to deal with this batch of goods, Dafei had already made plans when he was at sea. He would let Deirdre sell them all and let her take all the tens of millions of EXP! This way of leveling up a sub-hero was the legendary 'special treatment'.
Dafei went straight to the teleportation point and teleported to the capital, Faroland City. As the scene changed, Dafei suddenly realized that he had left in a hurry and forgot to leave Serbia and the other sub-heroes in Arrowlyn. Damn it, this would cost him almost 1000 in teleportation fees. Eh? Wait a minute? Where's Catalina? Why didn't she follow?
Could it be that the Barren Island incident was about to trigger a storyline?
At this moment, the players who saw Dafei appear at the teleportation point also began to gather around him. It was the internet society, and information spread really quickly. Without much thought, Dafei went straight to the teleportation point in the World Tree Plaza.
Seeing Dafei appear, the guards at the teleportation point bowed and said, "Mr. Dafei, may I know what business you have with me?"
Isn't that obvious? Dafei found the option to teleport to Light City and selected it! Hmph, this is a teleportation point that only I can use!
Thus, with a flash of green light, the scene darkened, and Da Fei appeared underground, which he had not seen in a long time.
After nearly four months, the entire Light City had undergone a huge change. Looking at it, the once bald island in the middle of the lake had completely turned into a stone city. Of course, it was only a stone city. Other than the sentry towers on the city walls, there were only a few houses on the island. It was a vast expanse of empty land. The city wall of the lake outside the island had already been repaired, and the long-awaited Soar was quietly parked at the pier outside the wall.
Brother's Soar! My sweetheart Deirdre! Dafei couldn't help but feel excited.
At this moment, a group of NPC officers walked out of the two houses. They were Dafei's royal advisors.
"Welcome back, Mr. City Lord!"
Dafei hurriedly shouted, "Hello everyone! Hello, everyone! Everyone has worked hard while I was away! "
The economic advisor reported, "Reporting to Mister City Lord, the initial phase of the Light City's infrastructure has been completed. We have used the kingdom's budget of 4.45 million gold coins. This budget will require Mister to slowly repay."
Dafei nodded. Only 4.45 million? Compared to my income of nearly 100 million gold coins, it's nothing!
The population advisor said, "Mister City Lord, the World Tree is still in a dormant state. Before the pollution of the Pond of Light is restored, the Flower Demon Barracks will still be unable to produce people."
Dafei was surprised. "It's been four months. Is there any improvement in the purification of the Pond of Light?"
The environmental advisor sighed. "It's slow. After all, the original plan was to improve a few years later."
Dafei knitted his brows. If that's the case, when will my Soar be able to rise?
The military advisor sternly said, "Mister City Lord, the devils have begun to gather at the edge of the Pond of Light and are rebuilding the Lava Factory. Although there are no signs of an attack, the World Tree is in a dormant state and has no enchantments. We have to upgrade the military teleportation array as soon as possible. Upgrading the military teleportation array requires a budget of about 10 million gold coins. This money has to be settled as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the situation gets out of control, the kingdom will judge that Mister doesn't have the ability to manage the territory and take back the territory of the City of Light. At that time, Mister's city-building mission will fail and you will lose your qualifications as a feudal lord! "
Dafei's heart tightened. He hurriedly said, "No problem, money is not a problem. I came back with a lot of funds!"
The economic advisor smiled bitterly. "As long as you have money, anything can be discussed. The main thing is that the kingdom has used its budget on the new world, and there's really no way to subsidize more. You can only rely on yourself to raise money. "
Tsk! It's just 10 million gold coins. You scared me to death? Compared to my income of nearly 100 million … F * ck! That's like cutting off one of my fingers! This is just the cost of upgrading, but not the usage cost!
The more Dafei thought about it, the more painful it was. He asked, "After I upgrade the teleportation array, will the kingdom send troops to protect me? I don't have any troops! "
The military advisor smiled. "Of course the kingdom will do its best to send troops. After all, this is also the kingdom's territory."
The economic advisor said, "But I suggest that Mister defend yourself if you can. The kingdom's troops will also be borne by Mister, and the price is only slightly cheaper than mercenaries. In fact, the cost of the 50 experienced Treants that the kingdom forcefully sent down was 5000 gold coins a day. This account is still on Mister's tab. Therefore, the total debt of Light City is currently 5 million gold coins! "
— — Pfft! Dafei vomited a mouthful of blood! 5000 gold coins a day. That's 500,000 gold coins for 4 months and 100 days! If it was an ordinary player, they would definitely be dead! The problem was that the kingdom forcefully sent them down. It was a forced purchase! But then again, those Treants were actually elites that couldn't be bought even with money! The kingdom was actually quite loyal? If those Treants were elites among the LV 6 soldiers, then wouldn't their battle prowess be extremely powerful when combined with my sea of Flower Demons? This brother was really willing to spend money! Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to invite ordinary tycoons.
Dafei hurriedly asked, "What about those Treants? Has the kingdom retreated yet? "
The military advisor smiled and said, "There's no teleportation array, so they can't retreat. Anyway, those Treants are worth money if they stay here for a day. In order to not let them stay idle, we've sent them into the space of the ancient Nathir tree in batches. Didn't Mister say that there are remains of the ancient Nathir tree in that space? A few lords from the Ministry of Construction have already started working on it and are trying to find a way to transport the remains over. "
Dafei was instantly filled with respect. "I only mentioned it casually. I didn't expect all of you to really take it to heart."
The advisors laughed and said, "Anyway, the project here will be completed in three months. Let's find something to do and help Mister save some money!"
Dafei was touched and said, "Everyone is really dedicated to their work. It's great to have all of you assisting me. Please take care of me in the future!"
The advisors smiled and said, "Everyone is doing this for the kingdom!"
Dafei thought of something and took out the biggest harvest in the North Pole, Leviathan's egg!
The advisors were surprised. "This is?"
Dafei laughed and said, "This is the egg of the legendary level-8 creature, Leviathan. It is said that it needs a pool full of energy to hatch. Our Pond of Light is full of light energy, so I have an idea to incubate the egg in the lake. Once it grows up, it will be a powerful help to defend the city!"
"A level-8 creature?" The advisors were amazed and began to touch the giant black egg the size of a water tank.
Dafei asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
The military advisor shook his head and sighed. "Since it's Mister Lord's idea, of course we should assist and support him. It's just that this egg seems to be wild and untamed. Once it hatches, it's hard to say whether it will be a friend or a foe!"
Dafei's heart skipped a beat. That's right, this egg has a red name! The reason why it's a red name is because the way I obtained it was obviously not complete! If it still has a red name when it hatches, wouldn't I be screwed?
Dafei said anxiously, "Is there a way to tame it?"
The advisors were suddenly silent.
Finally, the population advisor sighed. "Legend has it that Leviathan is a brutal fire-breathing beast in the sea. It has three attributes of water, fire, and earth. It is known as the demon of the sea. I find it hard to believe that it will absorb the light energy of the Pond of Light to grow."
Dafei was stunned. "You mean, it won't hatch here?"
The population advisor shook his head and sighed. "This egg doesn't look like a light creature no matter how I look at it. I really don't think it will work."
The urban environmental advisor laughed and said, "Won't we know if it works or not after trying? In my opinion, it might be better if it's not a light creature! It might even be of great use! Let's do an experiment! Mister Mayor, please hold the egg in the lake and soak it! "
Oh? Of great use? Dafei said, "Okay! Let's try it! "
The crowd surrounded Dafei and walked out of the city gate to the dock. Dafei soaked the egg in the water. The officers squatted or lay down and stared at the water intently.
Of course, Dafei could not see anything. He did not dare to breathe loudly and quietly waited for the result. After a while, a layer of small bubbles appeared on the black eggshell.
The consultants were in an uproar!
Dafei hurriedly asked, "How is it? How is it? "
The environmental advisor was overjoyed. "Congratulations, Mister Lord! This egg may not be able to absorb the light energy in the Pond of Light for the time being, but it is hungry for the dark energy that pollutes the Pond of Light. In other words, this is a very magical water purifier. With it, the purification of the Pond of Light will be greatly accelerated! "
Dafei suddenly understood. "So this is the magic!" Then he said happily, "Good! Let it help purify the Pond of Light! "
The military advisor said, "However, we can't tame this egg for the time being. If we want to hatch it, it's better to put it in the water outside the city wall. That way, if it gets out of control in the future, it will not pose a threat to our city."
Dafei nodded. "That makes sense!"
The military advisor smiled and said, "With the brutality of the Leviathan, as long as it can't pose a threat to us, it will naturally find trouble with the demons on the shore. This will also achieve the purpose of indirectly helping us defend!"
Dafei smiled bitterly. "I hope so. However, I still hope to tame it."
The consultants said, "Let's get through the current crisis first. We can plan for the future."
Dafei sighed. "That's the only way."
