Chapter 233 Jinjiang Exclusive Release

Do you still want the prince to contract the vampire vine?

Of course not!

Lu Xuan had already said that he might die suddenly, so how could the new emperor let his prince take such a risk?

If the person who said this had not been Lu Xuan, he would have been so angry that he would have dragged the person out on the spot.

The new emperor took a deep breath to calm his inner shock, then held his forehead with his hand and said, "Is there no other way? The Crown Prince is young, and there are many unexpected events during the Cataclysm. I still hope that he can gain more strength to protect himself."

After all, the palace is not a monolithic entity.

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "If it's just for self-protection, I can trade a few more single-person protective shields for Your Majesty to protect the Crown Prince and other little princes and princesses."

The new emperor sighed, "The shield can only defend against physical threats, it can't stop anything else."

The threats in the palace never come from overt dangers. It should be said that assassin attacks are rare. There are more other means that are difficult to defend against in the palace, and the protective shield does not always work.

Lu Xuan said, "Then we don't need the protective shield?"

The new emperor: “…I still want it.” Last time, he was the only one who got it. During this period, he has been hinted by ministers many times to persuade Lu Xuan to trade more.

Regardless of whether the ministers can get it, he still wants the people he cares about to have as many means of self-defense as possible.

But the prince...ah.

The new emperor still insisted, "If the vampire vine can't be contracted, what about other plants?"

Lu Xuan said, "As long as you learn how to make a contract, you can also make a contract with ordinary plants."

There are also many threatening species among common plants, such as various highly poisonous plants, poisonous mushrooms, poisonous flowers and plants, as well as thorny plants, cacti, thorns, etc.

The new emperor hesitated: "This..."

[Aren't ordinary plants lethal enough? ]

[In the past, when conditions in the ancient plane were very backward, highly toxic plants were sufficient. Many cardiotoxins and neurotoxins had a very fast onset.]

Times have changed. The host brought out a large number of Star Alliance emergency medicines, some of which are effective antidotes. As long as you carry a few antidotes with you, ordinary poisons will have no effect at all.

[And having a prince of a country contract a poisoner to use such despicable means, if it gets out, it will be very bad news.]

This is exactly what the new emperor is concerned about.

Cacti and thorny plants can be considered.

But with the vampire vine as a good example, these things seem to be disappointing no matter how you look at them.

As an emperor, the new emperor felt that he and his descendants should enjoy the best things. Now he was asked to settle for second best... naturally, he didn't quite understand it.

Lu Xuan thought about how the new emperor had been very happy with his deal, and said, "It's not advisable to let the young prince contract a branch of the vampire vine. However, if we can cultivate a low-level vampire vine from seeds, we can give it a try."

The new emperor immediately became excited and looked at Lu Xuan with joy and understanding.

He knew that Lu Xuan would definitely have a way!

The new emperor confirmed, "Will the difference between a low-level blood-sucking vine and Yunxianhou's mother plant be that big?"

Lu Xuan nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, there is no comparison. But compared to other plants, it is still a clear winner."

After all, it is a mutant plant with strong aggressiveness. Even if it is only the lowest level, it is not comparable to ordinary plants and harmless mutant plants.

Besides, if he really wanted to give it to the little prince, it was impossible for him to really give him a contract with a first-level vampire vine.

At level one, you can contract a mutant plant that is no more than two or three levels higher than your own. The risk will be greater if it is three levels higher, but you can still try it if it is only two levels higher.

The third-level blood-sucking vine could also walk sideways in ancient times.

However, "It's not easy to cultivate mutant plant seeds. We have to try to know whether it will succeed. Your Majesty should not hold too high hopes."

The new emperor nodded in understanding and said, "I understand. If Yun Xianhou can truly get the Crown Prince to contract the vampire vine, I will appoint you as the Crown Prince's tutor and have him worship you as his teacher, treating you with the same respect as he would me."

Lu Xuan didn't show any surprise on his face. He said calmly, "It won't be too late to talk about other things after I actually cultivate the right plants."

The new emperor was anxious, but he also knew that this matter could not be concluded immediately, so he had to give up for the time being.

Afterwards, Lu Xuan and the new emperor traded a few single-person protective shields and left the palace.

On the way back to the Marquis' Mansion, the live broadcast room was flooded with comments.

[The first thing they did was to ask the host to be the prince's teacher. When the prince ascends the throne, won't the host become the emperor's teacher? 666.]

[He also said that the prince should treat the anchor like his own father. How can this not be considered as brothers between the anchor and the emperor?]

[The emperor really spent a lot of money.]

[If it were me, I would be willing to do that too. Not to mention asking the anchor to be my son's teacher, I'd even be willing to be the anchor's son. Dad, look at me!]

[I am the host's biological son. Dad, I'm hungry, I want to eat!]

[Bah! The host doesn't care about you cheap sons, a bunch of cheap idiots.]

[It doesn't matter if it's a son or not, I'm just asking if you guys want the same low-level vampire vine.]

The answer is of course yes! I really want it!

Rather than discussing the title of Prince's Tutor promised by the new emperor, more viewers' attention was focused on the vampire vine.

Countless people were leaving crazy messages on the barrage, clamoring for the same one as the little prince. If that wasn’t possible, a batch of vampire vine seeds from a black box would also do.

Lu Xuan casually said, "There are countless mutant plants with powerful attack power in the Star Alliance. If we can't contract high-level plants, can't we get seeds?"

Considering getting a low-level vampire vine for the little prince was an exception. He didn't intend to produce too many offspring of his own vampire vine, with the same type everywhere, even if these offspring were not in the same plane as him.

[Well, I didn't think it was possible to do this before.]

[While the existence of mutant plants and animals doesn't pose a significant threat to the Star Alliance, they're already too aggressive to contain the mutants, so how could they possibly find seeds to cultivate them?]

[Didn't the host himself say that it's inherently difficult to cultivate seeds of high-level mutant plants? Otherwise, even without human intervention, they would have already become a disaster.]

[Other high-level mutant plants require time and effort, and even risk one's life to obtain, but the host's vampire vine is powerful, famous, and right before one's eyes.]

Lu Xuan chuckled, "Right in front of me? Isn't it far away in the horizon?"

[Hehehe, as long as the host is willing to give away vampire vine seeds through a lucky draw, it's just around the corner!]

[Yes! Streamer, go ahead and draw! We don't want the evolution fluid anymore, we just want the vampire vine seeds!]

Even if they are not wood-type mutants, there are many wood-type mutants who can draw seeds and are willing to buy them at a high price, so how can they not lose money?

Lu Xuan refused cleanly: "No, don't bother, it's useless."

The audience waited until Lu Xuan returned to the Marquis' Mansion but failed to change his mind. They could only regretfully follow his advice and turn their attention to other mutated plants.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Lu Xuan sent a message to all the psychics in other gathering places he was familiar with, informing them that the psychics would be conferred titles by the Emperor to make them happy.

As expected, Lu Xuan’s communication was immediately bombarded.

The most excited among them were Hua San, Du Chenghai and others from Fengxian County.

Ever since they learned that disaster relief had begun and Feng County would sooner or later be taken over by government officials, they had felt a little uncomfortable. Even though they had come to terms with it intellectually, psychologically they were even more preoccupied with living for the moment than before.

But if they could get a title, even if it was just the lowest baron, they would have stepped into the aristocratic circle and completed a class leap. How could they not be ecstatic?

Lu Xuan was so flattered by the continuous flattery that he almost regretted sending the message.

·

In the next few days, Yunxianhou Mansion was visited by a constant stream of guests.

They all come to order greenhouses.

Last time, Lu Xuan didn’t have enough points for seeds and greenhouse materials, so he couldn’t expand the transaction. This time, he can relax a little.

Every aristocratic family in the capital has at least two or three farms of different sizes. Without going beyond the jurisdiction of the new emperor and the officials, each family has booked greenhouses ranging from several hundred acres to a thousand acres with Lu Xuan.

There are dozens of families who have purchased it, and the cumulative total is almost catching up with the total scale of the greenhouses officially purchased in Beijing last time.

The Bai family and Weiyuan Marquis Mansion also ordered 500 acres and 1,000 acres of greenhouses respectively.

With their own output, both families stated that they would no longer accept dividends from the Yunxianhou Mansion.

This time, Lu Xuan really planned to leave a few more agricultural robots to manage the farmland in Beijing.

However, the capital was not his territory after all, and there was no guarantee that someone would not deliberately make trouble with ulterior motives, so he still retained 10% of the dividends and asked Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion to help take care of it.

In addition to placing orders for greenhouses, many people who came to him also tried to test Lu Xuan openly and secretly, asking him if he had any plans to arrange a marriage for one of his trusted subordinates.

Lu Xuan: What was supposed to come has finally come.

Lu Xuan said to the person who came to test him as if nothing had happened: "Several of my close associates are already married."

The visitor asked: "Oh? Do you know which family she is betrothed to?" Let me see who is so capable of snatching her away?

Lu Xuan curled his lips and said, "The housekeeper and the captain of the guards each ordered a maid."

Visitor: “!?”

Internal digestion?

The visitor's expression was obviously choked, but he quickly said, "Doesn't the Marquis' Mansion have a captain of the guards? Where is the other one?"

Lu Xuan: "He also has a fiancée. He will stay with my sister and serve her. I will transfer him back later."

The visitor: “!!!” Are you really not going to leave anyone any chance at all?

"Did you, Lord Marquis, decide their marriage, or...?"

Lu Xuan said calmly, "I'm not the type to interfere with my subordinates' marriages. They all choose to do it voluntarily."

The visitor: “…” That’s even more outrageous!

The news, which was digested internally by several trusted subordinates of Yunxianhou Mansion, quickly spread among the powerful circles in the capital as the visitor left.

Each company has a different target, so the points of complaint are also different.

"The girl I asked my wife to be the captain of the guards at Yunxian Marquis's mansion is, after all, a distant cousin of my mother's. Her family runs a pretty good business, and she just came of age this year. Isn't she more beautiful than the maidservant at Yunxian Marquis's mansion? Is the captain of the guards blind?"

"The steward of the Yunxian Marquis's mansion is old enough to be a grandfather. What does the maid of the mansion like about him? Is it because he is old enough and will die soon?"

"I used to think that a steward entrusted with such an important task by Yunxian Hou would be a steady and respectful one, so I specially chose a gentle and charming woman. I didn't expect that the old man was a sucker for young girls! He's so undisciplined!"

The person who was complaining had no idea that he was more than ten years older than Lu Xuan's housekeeper, and that the number of young and beautiful concubines and maids brought back to the backyard after the disaster could not be counted on one hand.

They just thought that since Lu Xuan had already said that his confidants were already married, it would be inappropriate for them to send people over openly.

The candidates we had arranged before are no longer suitable.

When they were looking for one, they followed the standards of marrying a wife in a formal ceremony. Now that they are married, they are just giving a mistress/lover. Naturally, her status has to be lowered, and it is not convenient to show it in public.

At the same time, we also have to consider that if this really happens, it will offend the other party and there will be people saying bad things in front of Yun Xianhou. In short, it will be very troublesome.

Many people privately complained that Yun Xianhou was tactless. It was clearly a mutually beneficial matter, so why didn't he give them any loopholes to exploit?

But as Lu Xuan announced that the single-person protective shield could be traded, those who were talking fell silent instantly and put the matter of the servants behind their minds.

After all, the purpose of winning over the housekeeper and guards of the Marquis' Mansion is to get more good things from Lu Xuan.

Now that the good stuff is directly displayed, why bother about what those short-sighted servants do? The real thing is to grab the treasures quickly.

Recently, Lu Xuan has achieved several achievements. Mechas, spaceships and other items that were previously restricted from purchase have been unlocked, and single-person protective shields are also within the scope of unlocking permissions.

After trading several protective shields for the new emperor, Lu Xuan bought ten more in the mall and sold them in limited quantities.

Because there were few items and many people wanted them, Lu Xuan asked those who wanted them to bid for them themselves.

In the end, ten single-person protective shields were sold at an average price of 50,000 kilograms of mutant grain.

He spent five million points and finally earned 120 million, which is a huge profit.

Although the aristocratic families had so many little tricks that annoyed Lu Xuan, they were truly rich.

It is clear that the capital has only harvested one grain harvest so far, and it is all in the hands of the government. These nobles somehow got so much mutated grain and used it all for private purposes. None of the ten families wrote an IOU, and all of them settled the grain payments on the spot.

In view of the actual points income, Lu Xuan became more tolerant towards these families.

The audience was wondering: [Such a good thing as a single-person protective shield, shouldn’t the host replace it for the villagers first? ]

[That’s right, except for the Lu family, no one else in the village has had the chance to change yet.]

Lu Xuan said: "The two are not contradictory. Besides, do you really think anyone in the village would switch?"

Audience: What do you mean? Who wouldn’t want to exchange for something good?

Lu Xuan shook his head. "Good things also need to be considered suitable."

Even if the protective shields provided to the villagers do not require a bidding model, at least 10,000 kilograms of grain must be exchanged for them, otherwise the preciousness of the protective shields cannot be revealed.

No matter how rich the villagers are, their life experiences have made them accustomed to being frugal, not to mention that this is not a small amount of money.

Ten thousand kilograms of food can buy a safe house.

Nowadays, there is basically nothing that can threaten the safety of the villagers. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are mostly nothing to be afraid of.

The village still has the city protective shield that he has not taken back. Who would be willing to be so extravagant as to exchange it for a single protective shield?

In particular, the protective shield does not allow you to try it for free forever after purchasing it.

Just like buying a car in modern times, it is easy to buy a car but difficult to maintain it. Each trial use consumes a lot of energy. The longer you use it, the greater the consumption. It can be said to be a bottomless pit.

The nobles value their lives and have sufficient financial resources to not care about these investments, but the villagers cannot possibly not care.

Looking at the entire Yunlu Village, apart from Lu Qing and Lei Yan who each got one for free because of their love relationship, the only one who was really willing to spend a lot of money was probably Xiong Mao.

After all, he was willing to give up anything for Su Ying.

As for other people, even if the man wants to spend money on his wife, the wife will not agree.

Similarly, only Su Ying wanted to enjoy herself and live a good life in her daily life. She greedily and naturally chose to have it all.

Those who got the protective shield felt sorry for spending 50,000 kilograms of food in one go, but when they thought that having the protective shield was like having an extra life-saving talisman, their joy was greater than their sadness. Some people even held banquets and specially invited many people to their homes to activate the protective shield on the spot to verify its effectiveness, which stole the limelight.

Although others were not so high-profile, they still wore protective shields and showed off in public at the homes of colleagues and friends.

Others who were unable to get the exchange for various reasons were envious and annoyed, and could only find ways to divert their attention.

As a result, they actually discovered another surprise.
