Chapter 703 Collecting Supplies from the Demon City
Indeed, Jingtian does not recruit followers based on their strength.
Just like Yuwen Shang at the beginning, and Chen Lai and his son who are now in Hai City, they are all ordinary people.
And this Lu Wei has at least stepped into the ranks of people with high-level abilities, and level 7 is not too weak. When the previous Golden Dragon was at level 7, even Jingtian was shocked!
"I do. Lu Wei kowtows to you, sir!"
Lu Wei was definitely not stupid. After Jingtian finished speaking, he knew what to do and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Jingtian.
"Please sir, please accept us as well."
Just when Lu Wei kowtowed to express his following, the black men Nick and Hou Gui, who were standing beside him, looked at each other, stood up from the sofa, walked to Jingtian and knelt down.
Jingtian blinked, and before he could say anything, suddenly Sister Mingyue beside Fengyou stood up and walked over, kneeling down beside Nick and the others.
"Sir, please accept us as well." Mingyue said to Jingtian with a serious expression.
"This...you have thought about it carefully. I will keep Lu Wei by my side because of Zi Xin. Even if you become followers, I cannot keep you by my side." Jingtian said after a slight hesitation.
In fact, Jingtian was willing to accept them in his heart. After all, he still had a mission to accomplish. If he didn't actively recruit followers, this mission would probably expire.
But he also didn't want to have a few people around him.
After all, the development of the Magic City still needs them. If only Fu Qiang and Zhang Jian are left behind, it will be very difficult for them.
"I just want this identity. I don't want to leave the Magic City with you, sir, unless Fuyou also leaves with you." Sister Mingyue responded straightforwardly.
"We also want to have a more formal and senior status, and we beg you to take us in." Nick also spoke up.
Jingtian was speechless. This guy actually positioned his followers as high-ranking individuals?
Jingtian himself didn’t know, but all the people with special abilities in the Demon City did regard this follower as an extremely noble being.
If Jingtian went outside and shouted for followers, not to mention that only thirty people could complete the task, I'm afraid thirty thousand could be completed within a day.
Of course, Jingtian couldn't do that.
And the most important point is that even if Jingtian wants to approve it casually, the system probably won’t approve it!
bite!
"Congratulations to the host for conquering four followers. The current number of followers is 14. Please continue to work hard."
After Jingtian nodded in agreement to the others' pursuit, the system also promptly gave its approval.
Jingtian was still a little depressed. There were still five months left before the end of the mission, and he was still sixteen followers short.
The matter has been decided, Feng Yuxuan, Zixin and Lu Wei went back to pack their bags.
"Boss, you've worked hard these past two days. Our Demon City has also gained a lot of gold and crystal cores recently. You can take them away."
Zhang Jian knew that he had no control over Jingtian's departure, so he wanted to give Jingtian some benefits.
After all, Jingtian has made great contributions to the Demon City in the past two days, and they also know that, especially the repair of those thousands of acres of land, it consumes a lot of Jingtian’s crystal core reserves.
Fu Qiang also nodded. The Magic City was developed entirely because of Jingtian. Strictly speaking, all the income of the Magic City should belong to Jingtian.
"Then go and take a look. I won't take the gold and crystal cores. I'll take some other materials. Crystal cores will become increasingly difficult to collect in the future. You can keep them for cultivation. Gold will be the currency in the future, and you will also need to use gold to exchange supplies with the teleportation array."
"Sir, aren't crystal cores the only items that can be exchanged? Can gold be used as well?" Fu Qiang couldn't help but ask.
As the manager of the safe house, he does the exchange work every day, so he is very familiar with this.
"I have just upgraded the exchange formation. From now on, one gram of gold will be equivalent to one point of energy. You will know the price of specific materials when you exchange them." Jingtian smiled slightly.
In fact, even if Jingtian didn't say it, Fu Qiang would discover this when he went to exchange supplies again .
Everyone present was pleasantly surprised to hear that they could directly exchange gold for supplies.
As high-level staff of the Demon City, they all knew very well what this meant. After all, as Jingtian said, crystal cores were becoming increasingly difficult to collect, and their daily practice also required a certain amount of consumption.
If gold can be exchanged, it means that gold can truly become a circulating currency in the future.
If other strongholds come to purchase supplies, they can also provide unlimited supplies.
In short, gold can be directly exchanged for supplies, and it has too many benefits.
Then the group followed Jingtian to the warehouse.
While walking, Jingtian looked at the missing half of Fuyou's calf and suddenly thought of something.
While walking with the crowd, Jingtian separated his consciousness and contacted Ao Shui in the space.
Xuehua could actually do it, but Jingtian has already come to realize that he would never ask this girl for help if the problem can be solved through other channels.
"Sir, do you want to use deep-sea jellyfish to reconnect a person's broken leg? This is not difficult, but the person's leg has been missing for too long, so a new wound needs to be cut, which may be a bit painful."
After Ao Shui knew what Jingtian meant, he gave the answer very straightforwardly.
Jingtian said happily, "Compared to permanently losing half a leg, I believe he will be willing to endure any pain!"
Jingtian was absolutely sure about this.
If a person with such a rich mind cannot bear this little pain, then Jingtianren must have misjudged him.
Then Jingtian asked Aoshui to explain the detailed method to him. Jingtian believed that he could do it because the process was not complicated.
The warehouse in Demon City is much closer than that in Yun City. It is right next to the villa area. It is a six-story residential building, of which only the load-bearing walls are retained, and the rest of the space has been opened up.
Entering the first floor, there were some ordinary metal materials, which Jingtian did not collect.
Although he also needs metal, it is also indispensable for future urban development, and he can collect a lot of it in the outside world at any time.
Then as you go up, the materials become relatively scarcer and more precious.
When he reached the third floor, Jingtian finally saw what he wanted, silver and various bronze objects.
After Jingtian, the materials needed to upgrade the Ares will include more and more gold, silver and copper.
Especially silver, although it is not particularly precious, it is much more difficult to collect in large quantities than ordinary metals.
Jingtian didn't hesitate and took away all the nearly fifty tons of silver here.
If the Magic City needs it in the future, I will collect it slowly by myself.
Then we also collected dozens of tons of bronze and copper sedum.
Going further up, we also collected some relatively rare metal materials such as Sedum.
Finally, when we reached the top floor, there were gold and crystal cores. The magic city had more than 50 tons of gold reserves and there were probably tens of thousands of crystal cores.
According to Feng Yu and Zhang Jian, they hope Jingtian will take away 80% and leave enough for the operation of their city.
After all, the Demon City's foreign trade can harvest more gold at a faster rate, and their supply of materials is absolutely stable.
The price of materials sold in Magic City is absolutely very reasonable, only twice the cost. You should know that the materials exchanged from the system are very cheap, and doubling the price is also very cheap.
Even if they collected ten times the profit, it wouldn't be considered too unscrupulous.
Jingtian’s original intention was really not to take away the crystal cores and gold from the Demon City.
But after listening to Feng Qun and Zhang Jian's explanations, Jingtian knew that too much gold would be a burden for them, so in the end he took away forty tons of gold.
The crystal core Jingtian did not move. After all, the crystal core can assist everyone in their practice, and many people with special abilities also need crystal cores to distribute benefits.
Forty tons of gold were collected at once, bringing Jingtian's gold reserves to one thousand seven hundred and fifty tons. The previous consumption of strengthening and upgrading the God of War was completely compensated, with some left over.
"Fuyou, come with me for a moment. I want to talk to you alone."
When everyone returned to the safe house, Jingtian took Fu Qiang to the rooftop of the villa alone under everyone's puzzled gaze.
