Chapter 104 Seeing Through

He Ange knew that the city-state could not be without residents, so he did not force ordinary residents to go out after the riots. If he had forced them, everyone would have run away, and his time as city lord would have been over.

That guy is so greedy for power, how could he be willing to give up his supreme power as the city lord.

Lu Jiu shook his head, "How stupid and evil."

Such a city-state will be eliminated sooner or later. The world today is not just about survival, but also about facing a tide of beasts whose specific situation is currently unknown.

The city-state update can provide weapons that ordinary residents can use, which means that defending the city is not just the job of professional players.

If we don't pay attention to the key points, Lu Jiu seems to be able to foresee that a large number of city-states will be eliminated next year.

Zhuang Yun thought of Xuantian City, where he was staying, and couldn't help but flatter himself. "Our Xuantian City is still the best. There's no such nonsense at all. The city lord has a code of conduct."

Lu Jiu was secretly delighted to be praised silently. In fact, when this conflict first occurred, she herself was very distressed about how to better ease it.

It was Shen Jufeng who provided great help. As someone who once managed a large company and whose family had accumulated political and business experience for generations, this deputy city lord also had a lot of experience in current affairs.

Lu Jiu couldn't help but feel that it was worth her spending a huge amount of money to retain such a talent. She knew from the beginning that she was not cut out for management.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

Lu Jiu: "Let's just wander around for a few days, collect some more Colin sheep, and then go back. It's quite a mess here."

The main reason was that she was worried that something bad would happen in Xuantian City while she was away.

The other two had no objection, as coming here was not a big deal anyway.

He Ange was in the City Lord's Mansion, sitting on a chair covered with an exquisite blanket, resting with his eyes closed.

Ever since the riots, Longjiao City seemed to have fallen into a dead silence. Although there were still quite a few professional residents in the city, there were very few transactions.

Basically, we exchange resources, and even if we buy equipment in his store, we have to bargain for a low price.

All transactions within his city-state are subject to tax. Every transaction of registered residents in the city-state has to pay tax. In order to establish a good trading environment, his taxes are not high, but with many people trading, it still means a considerable income.

More importantly, he wanted a vibrant city-state so that he could feel like the city lord. But now, he seemed to be managing a dead city.

He is also controlled by professional players. These people all know that he is not popular among ordinary residents. If the professional residents do not stand on his side, then he, as the city lord, can only serve until the beginning of next spring.

Just as he was thinking about these bad things, someone sent him an email.

He Ange opened the email expressionlessly. Many people used to send him emails, but since the riots, ordinary residents seemed to have fallen silent, and the number of emails he received decreased by 98%.

Li Aoting: I've decided to disband my city-state and move on to other cities. He Ange, before I leave, I sincerely advise you not to treat ordinary people's lives as nothing.

What happened in Longjiao City was known to several neighboring city-states. Li Aoting particularly disapproved of his decision not to deal with those professional players.

But what good would it do if it was dealt with? The two sides were at loggerheads, and he had to find the more valuable party.

Ordinary residents simply didn't listen to his suggestions. If he offended the professional players again, no one in the entire Longjiao City would pay attention to him.

He Ange patiently replied to her, [He Ange: I know what you're going to do. Where are you going?] He thought it would be nice if he could come.

Li Aoting knew he didn't listen when she saw what he said. She thought to herself that he would probably pack up and leave with her in a few months. After all, she was the one who took the initiative to disband, but He Ange was probably forced to do so.

[Li Aoting: Go check out the city-states in other districts. My first choice is still Xuantian City.]

He Ange: How about you spend the winter here with me and go over there in the spring?

Li Aoting smiled. She could guess what this guy was thinking. She would not go to a place that was even more chaotic than her city-state.

Li Aoting: No need. It's autumn now, so it's a good time to go there. It's not too far away.

He Ange: Okay, if you have any questions, you can come to me. I will definitely help you if I can.

Li Aoting curled her lips when she saw the reply, it was the same as if she hadn't said anything.

Li Aoting: Well, I won’t say anymore. I still have a lot of things to deal with.

He Ange could only give up. He admired Li Aoting as a woman who was quite smart. Every time the city lords got together, she always had the initiative in the topic.

If she could come to his city-state, he wouldn't mind reserving the position of deputy city lord for her.

Li Aoting could only shake her head when she saw that He Angge insisted on doing something without any bottom line.

Her original intention was to wait until spring to disband the city-state so that the residents in the city could leave safely.

During this period, she had been trying to balance the various conflicts within the city-state, which made her physically and mentally exhausted.

After Yao Bing'an said that Xuantian City had been promoted to a third-level city-state and that the walls were covered with city-defense weapons, she decided to give up the idea of ​​holding out until spring.

Who knows if there will be a beast tide besieging the city in winter? She was originally planning to disband the city-state, so how could she be willing to spend a large amount of gold coins to buy city-defending weapons?

It would be better to disband quickly while there is still time, and everyone should find a strong city-state to spend a peaceful winter.

While she was still thinking about her next plan, someone applied to enter the City Lord's Mansion. It was someone from her team.

A young girl with dyed blonde hair came in and said, "City Lord, many teams have decided to take a large number of ordinary residents to the south of Jinghe District, which is one of the city-states with a deep city-state heritage, Wangjia City."

Many wealthy people in Yangshan City live in a villa area south of Jinghe District, and the Wang family is one of them.

The city-state was where a daughter of the Wang family had played the game Lingdong, but she didn't spend much money and had played it for a while purely on a whim.

However, even if she stopped playing the game, the equipment and props were still there, including the city-building order.

"That's fine. Anyone of you who wants to go can go with them. I'm no longer the city lord, so naturally I don't have a city lord team anymore."

Li Aoting meant to disband the team as well. She was not the city lord and had no right to ask the team to continue to exist.

The blonde girl put her hands behind her back, swayed slightly, scratched her nails, and said in a muffled voice, "Anyway, I'm following you. Wherever you go, I'll go. Besides, everyone saw us go to Xuantian City before, so I'm not the only one who wants to go."

Li Aoting nodded slightly when she heard this. "It's a good opportunity for us to go together. We can talk about our plans when we get there..."

"Then I'll tell them to get ready. Cheng... When do you plan to leave, sister? You're still the captain."

"Tomorrow, go back and have a good rest today."

Upon hearing this, the girl turned around and left to tell her other teammates the news.

Li Aoting relaxed her body. She only sold 40% of the goods in the city-state and kept the rest for herself. She planned to distribute half to the team members. They also contributed to the equipment and props.

Even for the team members going to Wangjiacheng, it is the same. We should part ways in peace. You may meet again in the future. It is always good to have more friends.
