Chapter 208 Big Farmer
"Hmm, there really is one. What kind of monster is it?"
"An amphibious sea and air monster, probably level three.
It looks like a fat black fish, about three meters long, chubby, and can swim in the sky at a fairly fast speed.
The main reason is that its body is slippery and its scales are hard, so it cannot be stopped. But it is very powerful and who can stop it when it whips you with its tail?
There’s nothing you can do about it.”
"Just use magic to kill it, can't you do that? It's only level three. If we transfer the magic group over, we can cast a group fireball and it will die, right?"
"I'm here to mobilize the mage group, right? I'm only here to talk to you about something, not to ask you to solve it.
Didn't you ask me if there are any Warcraft? I think this fish is quite suitable. It doesn't look ugly, has strong survival ability, can fly, can go into the water, and has certain strength. Isn't this suitable ?
If you don’t want it, I’ll kill it and make fish soup.”
Mo Lan smacked his lips when he heard that.
"No, don't kill it. If you kill it, I will be angry with you.
I want this fish."
"cut."
Zou Peng curled his lips in disdain.
Mo Lan didn't care either.
"If you have time, take a screenshot for me so I can see what it looks like. If not, let's make fish soup."
"Okay, okay, I'll ask you to join me when we eat."
"Well, is there anything else? You are such a busy man, why did you come to see me just for such a small matter?"
"There is one more thing. About the nobles, guess what the situation is?"
"Are they going to cause trouble? I haven't touched them yet, why are they trying to get themselves killed?"
Mo Lan frowned and said with a little annoyance.
“I guessed half right.”
Zou Peng said slowly.
"They planned to flee, knowing that they could not defeat us, so they went to other places to develop with the idea that a tree that is moved will die, but a person who moves will live. After all, smart nobles will definitely not suffer a loss in front of them.
If you can’t beat me, just run away.”
"So they were unwilling to give up before running away, and planned to die beautifully?"
Zou Peng rolled his eyes.
"How is that possible? They are not stupid, how could they do that?"
"Didn't you just say that I guessed half right? So what are they going to do?"
Zou Peng laughed softly.
"This group of clever little ghosts planned to run away first, and they planned to slowly drain their own industries and collapse the entire economy of Red Maple City.
Then they will buy up the entire Red Maple City's food reserves, take them all away, and finally violently plunder the current handicrafts and businesses, and flee with the money."
“They are really a group of little geniuses.”
Mo Lan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
"Who says it's not?"
Zou Peng laughed out loud.
"So how's the food I asked you to prepare going?"
Zou Peng suddenly remembered something when he heard this and spoke out.
"When you mention this, it reminds me of something. Do you remember the trick that was created during the recruitment assessment of the Mage Association?"
"Well, the growth technique, what's wrong? Is it the one who originally proposed the growth technique?"
Mo Lan had a vague impression of the player who asked for the growth technique.
“Yes, this is a big farmer.
He led a group of players to quietly open up new land in the wild, creating one large farm .
He sells the best quality grains he grows, and I heard the price is quite high, and he uses it to make money.
Then he basically used the remaining food to provide work-for-relief, hiring poor people who couldn't get enough food to open up wasteland, build roads, build houses, dig mountains, dig stones, and do anything. It was just some physical work that didn't require any technical skills, and he would give them some food for the work.
It is said that it feeds the poor of several cities, and now its population has expanded to nearly 100,000.
This time, when he heard that I wanted to purchase grain, he contacted me directly, supported a batch at cost price, and helped contact large grain traders in other cities to buy at a low price.
It is now being transported to the belly of a mountain near Jinghu Lake.
Food is still being transported in continuously. The exact number of people in Red Maple City is unknown and has not been counted yet, but it is at most a few hundred thousand people, plus several hundred thousand players.
It’s probably enough for everyone to eat for a few days. We’re still buying more, so there’s no rush.”
“Well, this is also a powerful person. The scale has expanded directly to nearly 100,000 people. There are not so many people in an ordinary small town, right?
And I just heard you talk about the work projects in the work-for-relief program, and it sounded like building a city to me...
Did no one care about him in the cities he was involved ? Did the nobles just let him grow up like this?"
Zou Peng shook his head.
“I’m not very clear about the specific situation, I just asked out of curiosity.
I only heard him say that he knew every word of what the nobles ate every night and what they said during the meal."
Zou Peng shrugged and said nothing more. Mo Lan shook his head.
"This guy... is really awesome."
"Hahaha, do you feel like all those fights you've fought were in vain?"
Zou Peng laughed, but saw Mo Lan shook his head.
“There is no such thing as a free fight or an ineffective fight; it’s just a matter of methods and approaches.
He chose to lie low for the time being, but I chose to confront him head on. I cannot learn his approach, and I do not have the skills and abilities to manage and coordinate.
But at the same time, he couldn't do what I did, which was to gather mages from all over the world, face the enemy head-on, and raise a flag in the hearts of the players.
There's not much to say about this, but since this person wants to be friends with us, you can communicate more.
We will definitely have dealings in the future, and he is also a great man."
Mo Lan stretched lazily.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's continue talking about our group of little geniuses."
"Well, anyway, we have anticipated the food problem and made preparations. As long as we have food, we don't have to worry about any disaster.
As for the business issue, to be honest, it's just like that. I contacted all the major players' chambers of commerce, and they are all praising these nobles, praising them for being first-class good people and praising them for being a group of little geniuses. It can be said that this group of people are now hungry wolves in cages, and each of them has gathered enough strength and will never allow any business gap to appear in Red Maple City.
As for the last one... hey."
Zou Peng smiled.
"Want to take action? So many players are waiting for revenge, and they are waiting to see what we think. Of course, the main reason is that these nobles are too cowardly right now, hiding in the castle every day.
To be honest, if they leave the castle, they may not even be able to get out of Red Maple City. That group of people will not care about whether they are noble or not. They just know that you made me unhappy. Thirty years on the west side of the river, thirty years on the east side of the river, and now I am in the east side of the river. If there is a grudge, take revenge. If there is a grievance, complain. Just settle the accounts directly.
Moreover, moving meant taking all the assets out of the castle. Nobles liked to put cash in the cellar, and they also liked to save all kinds of treasures and store them in the treasury. This was really a good habit.
Guess how much money and good stuff there is, wow, I'm tempted."
