When the empire was first built, cities and towns were built according to the population. Most of the time, they would build bigger cities. If the population was small, they would build cities and towns when they gathered.
For example, Sentry Town was built because it couldn't accommodate so many warriors coming and going. Generally, cities and towns were rarely built.
However, as the population increased, many cities and towns would be built. That was why there were so many cities and towns.
The space in the city was set when the city was built. Therefore, if there were many warriors, the restaurants in the city would come in handy.
There were many warriors in Pine City. In addition to the residences of the garrison and the warriors who came to explore, the restaurants in the city were full of business. The hospitality capacity of the restaurants was not small either.
Of course, they could not accommodate groups of warriors. However, there was a high mortality rate among warriors, especially in Pine City and Mound Hill City.
It was possible that the warriors who stayed in the restaurant that night would not come back the next day. They would probably die in the wild beast forest.
Therefore, it would take about ten to twenty years for the population to reach a certain level of cultivation. In addition to the high mortality rate in some places, the growth of the population base was actually quite slow.
Therefore, it would take a long time for an empire to build a city. Due to the slow growth of the population, warriors would need to be stationed in the city. Otherwise, it would just be an empty city.
Not many warriors died in the wild beast forest, mountain ranges, or some forbidden areas. The places with the highest number of warriors were the troops near the coastline.
Every time the sea beasts went berserk, a lot of soldiers would die. This was unavoidable. Empires like the Great Wan Empire and the Ocean Blue Empire had a longer coastline, so they had to assign manpower to various places. How could there be so many experts guarding the same place? Therefore, the death rate of low-level martial artists was unavoidable.
Sentinel Town had never had a powerful sea beast attack before. Therefore, there were only 100,000 soldiers and the Martial Emperor Realm commander, Ye Yun. The attack this year was the most powerful one. An Emperor-level sea beast had appeared.
Almost all the warriors in the town had been mobilized to guard the place. Nobody knew if the last sea beast attack had been reported to the empire and if there were any reinforcements.
The last time he went to ask Ye Yun for a map, he didn't see it. But this time, with the approval to build a city, the Zhang family might have some responsibility in the future. At the very least, Old Master Zhang, as the City Lord, couldn't stay away from the defense of the coastline.
Old Master Zhang could basically represent the Zhang family. It was the same for the Yeh family's Old Master to be the Deputy City Lord. The Tang and Li families, who had a good relationship with the two families, could not stay out of it.
This way, if they really encountered a sea beast riot like the last time, under the call of the few families, no one would be able to resist. The empire could be considered to have killed many birds with one stone.
He could gather the power of Sentry Town and solve the problem of the sea beasts. Even if he couldn't stop the sea beasts, he could still escape and report. Moreover, he still had the grocery store as his trump card.
If it was really a matter of life and death, asking for help from the grocery store was inevitable. Of course, whether it was the royal family or the large and small factions of Sentry Town, none of them wanted to see such a situation. This meant that if the grocery store could not withstand it, then the collapse of the empire would be right in front of them.
It was just a last resort. Of course, the situation had not deteriorated to such an extent.
Mo Tiankong also casually found a restaurant to stay in, thinking about how to advertise tomorrow.
.....
The next day.
Mo Tiankong thought for a whole night but could not come up with a good idea. Could it be that he should set up a stall first?
Unlike Zhangzhi City, Songcheng City had many adventurer warriors, so there were many stalls on both sides of the street. Yes, on the street, there were even more stalls on the streets.
Walking around with Auspicious, he could see some real treasures on the stalls that could be seen everywhere. Mo Tiankong did not recognize these things, but he had the Appraisal skill.
When he encountered something that he did not recognize, he would throw the Appraisal skill on it. Therefore, he did find some treasures. After all, the probability of these items appearing was higher as they were right next to the treasure land.
However, they were all low-level items. The really good things, such as items that could increase mental strength, were still not seen. These kinds of items were rare to begin with. As soon as they appeared, they would have been snatched away by high-level warriors.
After all, he could sense them by using his mental strength. Moreover, he dealt with treasures all year round. His knowledge of items was definitely much higher than Mo Tiankong, who was a noob.
Of course, there were more than these. There were also many trading companies in the city. Mo Tiankong walked around two streets, and there were trading companies basically everywhere.
Of course, the cities in these mountains were naturally the main source of goods. Demonic beast materials and treasures were common, so it was normal for many trading companies to settle down.
Refining pills not only required herbs, but also materials from demonic beasts such as hearts. Formations also required materials from demonic beasts. Refining weapons also required materials from demonic beasts. For example, the horn of the Martial Royal Realm demonic beast that Mo Tiankong obtained.
Of course, the latter two also required some ores of different quality. Mo Tiankong was not very clear about that.
However, thinking of the horn of the Giant Horned Rhinoceros that he had obtained before, Mo Tiankong thought that he should also sell it in exchange for Spirit Stones. For Mo Tiankong, these materials were not as useful as Spirit Stones.
Moreover, seeing so many trading companies in the city, Mo Tiankong also thought of using the same old trick again. Looking for some trading companies to cooperate with, it would save time and effort. This was indeed the most efficient way.
It was much better than setting up a stall and trying one's luck. The speed of spread was also faster. The reason why it could be completed in a few days in Tuxi City was that there were some foundations, so the acceptance was higher.
It was close to the Aquamarine Empire, and there were also some warriors in Tuxi City who bought items from the grocery store. Therefore, it could be completed in a short time, but it might not be suitable in Songcheng.
The warriors in Songcheng enjoyed the benefits of being close to the water first. Whatever good things appeared in the wild beast forest, they would definitely be digested. There should not be many treasures that could really be brought out by trading companies.
In Songcheng, it still depended on the local forces. Foreign trading companies might not have the ability to compete with these forces.
Moreover, this kind of city often had a fast and large circulation of Spirit Stones, which also showed that the degree of prosperity was high. It was a developed city, and the turnover of sales should not be low.
The purpose of this task was mainly to promote and pave the way for the main line, but it did not hinder the turnover. Who knew how many Spirit Stones were needed to increase one level of cultivation when one reached the Venerable Realm.
If ten million Spirit Stones were needed, it would require a turnover of 100 million Spirit Stones. If the reputation value in Eastern Xuan Domain did not reach 50%, it might not be able to increase one level in a month.
From a certain point of view, the reputation value determined the speed of cultivation improvement. The most expensive item in the store was the five elements marbles. Ten of them were only ten million Spirit Stones, and 100 of them were only worth 100 million Spirit Stones.
100 of them was not a lot for an empire, but it was not something that could be taken out in a short time. The mining speed of Spirit Stones was limited, so the number of Spirit Stones needed to be bought was relatively large. Many little drops made an ocean, and there was a chance to reach 100 million Spirit Stones in a short time.
This could only increase one's cultivation by one level. Therefore, if one wanted to increase one's cultivation quickly, they had to sell all the items. If warriors from all over the continent came to buy items now, then Mo Tiankong would have no problem reaching the Martial God Realm.
Although the trading company earned a lot of Spirit Stones from selling items, it could also be seen as a grocery store's express delivery van, delivering items to various cities and towns in various empires. Mo Tiankong's purpose was to increase his cultivation, and the System's purpose was to increase Spirit Stones. However, there was no special prohibition against this kind of behavior, so Mo Tiankong did not care.
It could only be said that their purposes were different. Increasing his cultivation was only a part of it, and the System's missions were also the pressure on Mo Tiankong. He had no choice but to do it. If he kept failing the missions, when his cultivation dropped, it would be over.
Moreover, he did not rule out the possibility that the System would kill him if he could not earn enough Spirit Stones. Therefore, due to the pressure of the Main Mission and the opportunity to become strong, Mo Tiankong did not want to be weak. Under these various reasons, it was better to work hard.
Walking into a shop that bought Demonic Beast materials, Mo Tiankong sold the Giant Horned Rhinoceros's heart and horn for a lot of Spirit Stones. Martial Emperor materials were still very precious, so the price was not low. The horn was sold for 40,000 Spirit Stones, and the heart was sold for 50,000 Spirit Stones. In total, he had earned 90,000 Spirit Stones.
This number was not small. Martial King materials might only be worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, but Martial Emperor materials were not cheap. The value was ten times higher.
Now his Spirit Stones balance had more than 350,000 Spirit Stones, which had slightly recovered from the consumption. The extra tens of thousands of Spirit Stones should be from the lottery. It was a new week, and the lottery was on sale.
The Spirit Stones from the lottery were directly added to his Spirit Stones balance. It was separate from the turnover, and belonged to Mo Tiankong's personal wealth.
"Store Manager Mo!"
Walking out of the shop, Mo Tiankong was strolling around. He was about to walk to a nearby shop when he heard a shout behind him.
It seemed that he did not know any martial artists in Songcheng. He was a little confused and wanted to turn around to look.
Then he saw Gao Zhan, and of course, a group of young martial artists beside him. Gao Zhan saw Mo Tiankong turn around and walked over eagerly.
"Store Manager Mo, did you come to Songcheng for some business? The Gao family has some reputation in Songcheng. If you need any help, just let me know." Gao Zhan looked at Mo Tiankong warmly and said.
Mo Tiankong was a little dumbfounded. He had been thinking about it when he entered the city, but he did not expect that it would really come true.
"Uh, nothing. I just came to do some business." Mo Tiankong could not keep a cold face when Gao Zhan was trying to be friendly.
"Business? Store Manager Mo, why don't you come to my Gao family? As for business, I can gather some Songcheng shops. I think they can help you." Gao Zhan immediately agreed when he heard that Mo Tiankong was here to do business. He even invited Mo Tiankong to visit his Gao family.
Gao Zhan did not even blink when he said he wanted to help. He even gathered some Songcheng shops. Gao family seemed to be doing well in Songcheng.
