Chapter 60: The Calm Before the Storm

Besides, among the outsiders who came to Wuyu City, there were also people from Xuantian City. They also had bicycles with the words “Xuantian City” on their body, and they heard the price, which was much cheaper than what they sold here.

“What do you mean, Captain, that we go to Xuantian City by ourselves?” The team member, who was standing by the window, asked.

The slightly fat man thought for a while: “I definitely won’t go there for the time being, but you each paid thousands of rental fees. These can’t be wasted, but you can negotiate with the city lord to lower the price.”

The other team members hesitated: “But will the city lord agree?”

Speaking of it, the fat man’s eyes dimmed: “The main consumption of equipment in the city is still us, professional players, we are also an indispensable existence in every city-state. We will just ask the city lord not to make too much money from us, it’s not like we won’t spend money.”

And he has always felt that there were too many city-states in each district. Although many people were sacrificed on the day of world gamification, they accounted for about 20% of the total population.

The next was when wild monsters appeared. He was afraid that less than 10% of the people were lost. The population of China was nearly 2 billion. Because Yangshan City was a first-tier city, the population of the district was about 800,000 to 1.5 million.

Subtracting those who died in the early stage of the end, the remaining population was still quite large. However, so far, no city-state has a population of more than 10,000. There were only 8 to 9 thousand at most, while the population of Wuyu City was just 4 to 5 thousand.

It can be imagined how many city-states there were in a district. Even if the territory of the region becomes larger, this was not reasonable.

“Anyway, we will listen to you, Captain. Considering how much they bought those things, the price is indeed too expensive.”

Their copper coins were also accumulated by their hard work. It was okay if they don’t know the original price, but now that they know it, it was an unpleasant feeling to be slaughtered.

Yao Bingan originally wanted to count the money quietly, but before she could, she received letters from several team leaders. Aside from the plaid backpacks they needed, they also said that they already knew that these good things were products of Xuantian City in Jinjiang District.

Then a letter came down, some of which asked her to sell it to them at the original price, while some proposed to lower the price, so that she, the city lord, would not lose money.

She also guessed that it would be like this, but it was impossible to say that it will not make any money.

It was not uncommon to set a high price and then let the other party bargain.

Yao Bingan directly refused not to let her make money and talked with those who were willing to negotiate the price in detail.

On the other side, Li Aoting was lost in thought. From the strength of their city-state in Jinghe District to the strength of the city lord, she found that even though her city-state seems to be developing well now, it was because the real test hasn’t yet come.

For example, the beast siege mentioned by the game system has not shown any signs for more than four months.

There were so many people in a district, but there were more than 80 to 90 city-states, which was too much for a district. After the city-state was upgraded to the second level, it can accommodate a population of 500,000.

As everyone knows, the first-level city-state can accommodate only 10,000 people. She doesn’t know how much the third level can accommodate.

This was a world of survival of the fittest, but the game world hasn’t thrown any major events so far. Maybe in the next update, some city-states in various districts will be eliminated.

She guessed that only a few powerful city-states in a district will survive.

Although she didn’t want to admit it, Li Aoting knew that her city-state would not be one of them.

“Baa——”

A few fluffy sheep bleats, with ruby ​​eyes, cried, looking very cute.

It was a pity, they were all wild monsters that attack people. Now several sheep were trapped in the mist, unable to see their surroundings clearly, and the sheep in the mist hear a screaming sound.

Before it knew what the sound was, it was shot through the neck by an arrow and turned into white spots, and dissipated.

There were still people standing in the mist with arrows ready to shoot the next wild sheep monster. After all, once the sheep were dealt with, the mist dissipated automatically, and Lu Jiu retracted her Bispider Bow.

Looking at the mutton that fell after killing the sheep, Lu Jiu thought about going to Zhuang Yun’s place for dinner today. She wanted to eat roast leg of lamb, and the other mutton could be cut into mutton rolls and served in the hot pot.

When Zhuang Yun received Lu Jiu’s message, he immediately put down what he was doing and started preparing seasonings. Zhuang Antong was sewing bags in her room. She was able to make a backpack with two grids by herself, and it was very popular for sale.

In Xuantian City, the game world was about to be updated, and it was an open secret that personal backpacks may no longer be limited.

It was difficult for life-skill players to get a backpack with many grids, even if the price was not expensive. Buying a few more backpacks with fewer grids will give them peace of mind.

They don’t know if it was because it was autumn, but there were more and more wild monsters around the city-state. After several months of training, life-skill players dare to fight a few herbivores’ wild monsters.

Zhuang Yun will go out to kill more wild monsters during this time and accumulate more materials for his daughter to make cloth.

“An An, today both your Sister Lu and Brother Shen are coming here for dinner.”

Hearing what Zhuang Yun said, Zhuang Antong put down the things in her hands and ran to the living room: “Really, I just made two small wallets, and I will give them to them then.”

“Okay, the bag you made is small and easy to carry, they will like it.”

Zhuang Antong held a palm-sized wallet in her hand, which was the plaid equipment she made. But this one was too small, unlike a backpack that can hold anything differently, it can only hold objects three times larger than it.

Inspired by this, the tailor shop NPC made small equipment when making clothes pockets, and the location was hidden, and it was also very popular for a while.

Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng arrived at Zhuang Yun’s house not long after. When Zhuang Antong saw Lu Jiu, she hugged her leg.

“Sister Lu, this small wallet is for you. It took me a long time to make it.”

As she handed the wallet to her, Lu Jiu saw a few small flowers painted on the wallet: “Thank you, I like it very much.”

“Brother Shen also has it.” Zhuang Antong handed him a black wallet. Her father said that Brother Shen liked bags of this color.

Shen Jufeng took it over with a gentle expression: “Thank you, An An.”

These days they stayed in the city and didn’t go out, not because they didn’t want to, but because when Lu Jiu went to a pharmacy, the store manager told her to pay attention to it shortly. However, she didn’t say what to pay attention to.

Therefore, the previous plan to go out with Shen Jufeng was also suspended. Who knows what the system will do next?

Just as he was thinking, Zhuang Yun had already prepared delicious food: “Come and sit. An An, you move the chair.”

Zhuang Antong moved the chair with a sigh and then sat in her seat. Today’s dinner was roast leg of lamb with hot pot, and Zhuang Yun roasted a piece of sweet corn for her daughter.

Zhuang Antong had a great time gnawing on the sweet corn. The leg of lamb that Lu Jiu killed this time was as big as her little arm. She couldn’t hold it up and gnaw it, so she could only eat it slowly with a knife.

“Hmmm. Brother Zhuang, your skills are getting better and better.” Lu Jiu said and gave a thumbs up. The mutton itself was of good quality, and with Zhuang Yun’s cooking, the taste was even better.

“I learned it from Uncle Zeng. His skills are superb.”

Zhuang Yun was talking about Old Man Zeng. Now, he was very famous in the stall in Xuantian City, and many people go to him to buy food every day.
