Yu Rong has been busy with the demolition of Jincheng recently, spending money like water to buy a lot of shops and houses, all of which have been demolished and turned into land for reconstruction.
The demolition went smoothly, but the money was spent too quickly.
Anle originally planned to build the pilot area in its own town, but unexpectedly, the houses and shops in Jincheng were demolished first.
Shops were demolished one by one, and many shops on the main street were destroyed.
Anle finally found herself short of money and began to take the matter of going to the auction house seriously.
“We have to make a profit no matter what. If Red City isn’t working out, let’s try another place. There are other auction houses besides Red City. You can pick another place.”
Yu Rong pursed her lips and uttered a suggestion, "Then let's go to Greentown."
Anle blinked. "You mentioned Qingcheng and Lancheng before. Are those two cities more likely to fetch a higher price?"
Yu Rong nodded.
"That's right, that's how it should be, but the auction houses in Qingcheng and Lancheng have recently raised their fees, and they're no longer charging the same prices as before."
Perhaps it's because Islaile was causing trouble for Apocalypse, so Apocalypse has turned to exploiting these prestigious families.
Anle seemed to understand something.
"Huh? So you've also targeted Qingcheng and Lancheng? Demanding disaster relief funds from them?"
Yu Rong nodded.
"That's right, Qingcheng and Lancheng are also raising money, not just Hongcheng."
Anle tilted her head to the side.
"And what about Greentown?"
"Greentown naturally paid disaster relief funds as well. However, Greentown's approach was actually a good one, as the fees charged by Greentown Auction House have remained unchanged."
Many of Qingcheng and Lancheng's old customers at the auction houses have been lost and have become Greentown's new customers.
On the contrary, Greentown made a fortune, and the auction house gained a good reputation.
Anle clicked his tongue in amazement.
"This Lord of Green City is really clever."
"No, it is said that the one who offered the plan was the daughter of the Lord of Green City. The Lord of Green City has an exceptionally intelligent daughter who is very famous in Green City. Unfortunately, I heard that she is in poor health and is not only sickly but also an illegitimate daughter."
However, she was highly regarded by the city lord because her intelligence was unmatched, far surpassing that of his other daughters. She generated considerable wealth for Green City, devised many brilliant plans, and always pleased the city lord greatly.
"Hey, you even found out this?"
"It wasn't me, it was my companion. She's very good at gathering intelligence, from major events in the city to minor things in the streets and alleys."
Anle paused, her little face showing a slight expression. Companion?
"Is it that girl?" The two companions of the boy she saved were a man and a woman. Only a girl could be so meticulous and patient as to collect even the most trivial information from the streets.
Yu Rong nodded. "She has always wanted to stay by your side and do her best to do something useful for you."
All the intelligence gathered, whether it has any advantage or disadvantage for you, and any information that you can use, will be communicated to me in detail so that I can consider it and make a decision.
Anle grinned, "Once the construction of Jincheng is finished, I'll have her come to my side."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Then you keep an eye on the date, and we'll head to Greentown then."
Making money was urgent, and Anle had been proceeding according to the schedule. Apart from a severe shortage of funds, everything was going smoothly.
Just before the summer heat was about to end, Anle took Yurong to Greentown.
Green City is in no way inferior to Red City, and is even more prosperous.
It is said that all this prosperity was created by the city lord's daughter.
This daughter is truly exceptionally intelligent.
There's a saying that goes, "Too much wisdom is bound to bring harm," and that city lord's daughter is probably such a person.
Anle walked along the bustling streets of Greentown, sighing to himself.
The streets were bustling with people, and Anle saw many of the gods' followers, dressed in their white robes, strolling along the street.
"There seem to be an unusually large number of Christians here."
"Yes, the temple in Green City has always treated its followers with great respect and courtesy, surpassing the treatment given to temples in other cities."
Therefore, most people went into the temple and became followers of the gods.
In particular, the city lord of Green City has been building temples on a grand scale. There are no fewer than twenty temples not only in the town but throughout Green City.
Every day, the people of this Green City would choose a nearby temple to worship, praying for the prosperity and peace of the city and for the happiness of its inhabitants.
His faith had reached the point of obsession. According to the city lord himself, the reason why his Green City was able to achieve such a prosperous era was also due to the virtue of this temple of faith. Everything was obtained through the protection of the gods and bestowed by the gods.
This trend has only emerged in recent years, changing from the day the city lord's exceptionally intelligent and beloved daughter was born.
Anle was surprised.
"I never expected the topic of the city lord's daughter to be so heavily tinged with mythology. How did it all come up with her again? What does this shift in public opinion have to do with the city lord's daughter?"
"The reason my companion paid attention to this city lord's darling was because of her special birth."
It is said that when she was born, she was born with a piece of clear, green jade in her hand. At that time, auspicious omens descended upon Green City, with auspicious clouds rising and colorful rainbows filling the sky.
The legend of this woman's birth has been widely circulated in Greentown for ten years.
The story has been passed down from the day she was born until today, and it has only grown more popular with each passing day. Some people say that she is a celestial maiden.
The Lord of Green City once brought his daughter to the capital to request an audience with the Celestial Master, but the Celestial Master, who was enlightened by Heaven, never recognized him.
However, her spiritual aura is undeniable. Even the Celestial Master said that this woman is noble and indeed has some ability to understand celestial arts.
From then on, the city lord cherished this daughter as the apple of his eye, treating her with utmost care and affection; no one could rival her favor.
"Wow, isn't this just God's favorite?"
Yu Rong nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, based on her spiritual aura and a praise from the Celestial Master, this woman was granted the title of Princess, the titled Princess Zhaoyang, and was deeply loved by the royal family, enjoying undiminished favor."
"Tsk tsk, you can't compare people like this. They're so lucky to have such good fortune right from the start."
"I've heard that many people come to her seeking blessings, hoping to catch a glimpse of the city lord's daughter and receive good fortune."
"To receive blessings, ah, happiness is still in one's own hands, it is something one must pursue oneself, what kind of happiness is it to rely on others to bestow it upon you?"
Besides, can what others give be considered happiness? Anle rolled her eyes, finding it amusing.
"I've heard it's very effective and can really bring good fortune," Yu Rong said expressionlessly, not even believing it himself.
