Apocalypse: Starting by Burning 100 Billion Ghost Currencies

Three years ago, an enigmatic calamity descended, causing the collapse of the monetary system and the rampant suppression of this world by rules with extremely low survivability.

Su Luo, in a...

Chapter 153 Zhao Jinlai's Intentions

Various human bases in the Xia Kingdom.

"The current Imperial Capital Base, also known as the Los Angeles Imperial Capital Branch, has sent us a signal saying that it can accept people from our base and even provide assistance, and that labor can be exchanged for Los Angeles currency or even ghost money."

"Can such a good thing really happen in the apocalypse?"

"That's why we're discussing it, but if it's that esteemed person, perhaps they really do have a solution!"

These people were all leaders of the remaining major bases. They were also the ones who witnessed the bidding game at the Imperial Capital Base. They had a vivid memory of Su Luo disguised as Luo Su. Most importantly, her extravagant spending completely overshadowed that so-called Lord Huangfu. She was a real honor for humanity!

They preferred Su Luo to the humans in the Imperial Capital base who had been corrupted by the monsters.

Just look at how the monsters treat humans now. Ever since they learned that Su Luo was human, their attitude towards humans has improved a lot. Although they are still hostile, at least they don't bite people all the time and treat them like a buffet.

"Speaking of which, all of this is thanks to Su Luo, Lord Luo!"

"So, what do you all mean?"

“I think it’s feasible. If Lord Luo really has a way to resettle the survivors in the base, merging them is not out of the question.”

The same conversation was taking place at this very moment within various bases, including some guilds that could receive the broadcast. More and more people were joining and merging with Los Angeles!

“Little Ancestor Sister, our Greedy Wolf Guild doesn’t need food or lodging, we just need to be registered.”

Because after the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City and Noah Base's Chief Wu attacked the hut last time, Xia Ming shamelessly stayed, ostensibly for post-war reconstruction, and refused to leave.

Su Luo didn't bother with it, but warned his subordinates and Gui not to trust the people of the Greedy Wolf Guild and to stay away from them as much as possible, preferably avoiding contact altogether!

Xia Ming remained indifferent to all of this, his eyes only on Su Luo.

"Little Ancestor Sister, so your name is Su Luo? That's a beautiful name. Why did you call yourself 'Little Ancestor' before?"

"Little Ancestor Sister, this is our application form from the Greedy Wolf Guild, and my heart, I'm giving it all to you!"

Su Luo had only one word to this.

"roll!"

It wasn't that Su Luo didn't want to take action against Xia Ming, but her [Red Eyes] seemed to become ineffective as soon as they came into contact with Xia Ming, showing no reaction whatsoever. The same was true for [Sage of Time]. Su Luo had secretly tested it a few times, and it seemed that time had no effect on Xia Ming.

This made Su Luo even more curious about Xia Ming's talent.

It seems... to be a skill that can eliminate all talents.

If that's the case, Su Luo probably understands why Xia Ming was able to develop the Greedy Wolf Guild to such an extent in his previous life. Such a bug-like talent, placed in this strange apocalypse, is like a lucky emperor who draws the most outrageous skill in one go, completely overpowering him.

No wonder he was indifferent to the monster dungeon. The monsters' skills were similar to talent awakening. If Xia Ming could really disable talents, he could also disable monster skills. Ordinary monsters would never provoke such an existence.

"Sister Su, there's a woman outside named Yan Ruyu. She says she knows you and is bringing everyone from Xicheng to seek refuge with her!" Ma Bowen happened to be returning from outside when he bumped into Yan Ruyu, who had come to seek refuge with him.

Upon hearing Yan Ruyu's name, Su Luo nodded, not even glancing at Xia Ming, and instructed Ye Rong and Xu Qing to go and greet her, while he himself arranged more residential dormitories in the system.

'Ding! 100,000 new residents detected. Activating the "Suburban Town" title. Points awarded. Residential housing configuration corresponding to the new design. Three new decoration styles added.'

'Ding! 100,000 new residents detected. Activating the "Remote Town" title. Points awarded. Residential housing configuration corresponding to the new design, and three new decoration styles added.'

'Ding! 100,000 new residents detected. Fourth-tier city title activated. Points gained. Corresponding dormitory configuration available. Three new decoration styles added.'

'Ding! Congratulations, host, you have accumulated 100,000 points, unlocking the ninth level of the system's points shop.'

'Ding! Congratulations, host, for activating titles such as Suburban Town, Remote Small City, and Fourth-Tier City. Administrator's living space has doubled, configuration has been upgraded, and a dedicated dormitory for deputy administrators has been activated. City management positions have been added, allowing for the creation of multiple supervisory roles such as agricultural management, industrial and commercial management, medical management, weapons management, and educational management… (This dormitory is more luxurious than a standard dormitory, but not superior to the chief administrator's dormitory.)'

'Ding! Your cabin has acquired the following themes: Cozy Family Style, Cannibalistic Wilderness Survival Style, Escape Room Thriller Style, Primitive Rainforest Survival Style, Unconventional Eclectic Style, and Exquisite British Academy Style (The host can access the control panel to freely customize these themes).'

...

Hearing the constant system notifications in his mind, Su Luo was very satisfied.

If we had known that residents would come so easily, we should have done it this way long ago. As for those who are not familiar with the area, they can be merged into the capital city. We can also gradually connect Shanshui City and the capital city to form a region that is easier to manage.

At the same time, in the realm of strange creatures.

"The founder of Los Angeles Coins was actually a human?!"

"Is the information correct?"

"How could there be a mistake when the announcement was broadcast to everyone?"

"Not only is it true, but even the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City was attacked. According to reports, the royal family of the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City seems to have fled to the Other Shore Ghost King City, where they are seeking refuge."

As Zhao Jinlai listened to the commotion of the strange creatures in front of him, he impatiently rubbed his slightly lighter, fleshy ripples.

Just like when he learned of Su Luo's identity at the Imperial Capital Base, the entire world of strange creatures was thrown into chaos because of Su Luo's actions.

Zhao Jinlai hadn't expected Su Luo to come and attack directly, destroying the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City.

"I think that since the Other Shore Ghost King City has won over the Ghost King's family, they are very likely to attack us!"

“The Nine Netherworld Royal Family definitely wants to launch a counterattack, and the most reliable way to do so is to unite with us in the Yellow Springs.” Zhao Jinlai tapped the table with the back of his hand as he slowly expressed his thoughts.

"I think none of you want to merge with the Other Shore Ghost King City."

"Of course!" As soon as these words were spoken, a strange creature immediately echoed them. This was not for any other reason than that the Yellow Springs and the Other Shore had been disliking each other for a long time. If the intervention of the Nine Netherworld Royal Family really forced them and the Other Shore to merge into one, the Other Shore, backed by the Nine Netherworld Royal Family, would definitely suppress them completely.

At that time, the Yellow Springs will probably fall apart and cease to exist! It may even become cannon fodder in the counterattack of the Nine Netherworld Royal Family.

That's true, but what can we do now?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinlai chuckled, his face showing no outward expression but his heart overflowing with joy.

Here it comes, they've finally gotten to the key point.

"If their Other Shore Ghost King City can join forces with the Nine Nether Royal Family, why can't we join forces with Luo City?"
