When He Fang was led by Lu Hu into the corridor of the Ministry of Finance, he was completely shocked. Although the game of "Xu Wu Restart" was so large that it even required a somatosensory warehouse to run it, the details were so realistic that even the exquisite decorations in every corner were displayed in front of the players. Even the shadows and light were flawless. It was really terrifying.
If this were put on a normal game console, it would probably kill the optimized series.
only……
The decoration here is extremely gorgeous. He Fang does not know much about jewelry and cannot tell whether the surrounding gold decorations are gold-plated or solid gold. However, the entire Ministry of Finance has a very neat appearance but the interior is extremely luxurious. It looks like an ancient imperial palace, magnificent and gorgeous to the point of being tacky. He Fang does not dare to agree with such aesthetic taste of decoration. It feels like it is blinding.
Lu Hu walked in front of He Fang and led the way. Although He Fang was a man, he was not as tall as Lu Hu. At first glance, he was the thin one.
He Fang was led by Lu Hu to a room, which was an extremely luxurious reception room. The most eye-catching thing in the reception room was the extremely gorgeous couch. The couch was covered with very comfortable wild animal skins and cushions with gold embroidery. It was extremely soft and comfortable to lean on, and the touch was enough to prove that it cost a lot.
Fortunately, this is just a game. If it were real life, this recliner alone would be enough to smash the Ministry of Finance to death and line their pockets.
After Lu Hu sat down at He Fang, she actually leaned back on the recliner beside her, with her long, beautiful legs stretched out on the gorgeous handmade blanket. Her expression was comfortable and relaxed, and someone even served them red wine.
Lu Hu always has an arrogant look on his face, but as soon as he sees someone, his arrogance will instantly turn into a soft light blue flame, gentle and yet extremely hot.
But He Fang remained unmoved and looked calm, as if he was thinking about something.
Lu Hu smiled in the most seductive pose, her bright red lips slightly raised, her charming eyes seemed to carry bright stars, constantly inviting people to explore, her voice was soft and captivating.
"Dear Lord Mayor, maybe before we talk, we can have a drink to relax our nerves, which may be helpful for our conversation." Lu Hu smiled lightly. This scene looked like a vacation rather than a conversation.
Min Zhizhou's expression was truly tense, and he forced himself to endure it in order not to reveal a weird look. This woman, Lu Hu, had a very strange feeling that she was doing everything even though she was not doing anything. It was impossible not to be attracted by Lu Hu's gaze.
"Lu Hu." He Fang didn't intend to drink what Lu Hu gave him, so he changed the subject directly, "I think we may need to talk."
"Hmm?" Lu Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a sense of satisfaction at having succeeded.
"I think the Ministry of Finance's spending could be reduced a bit?" He Fang said what he had been holding in his heart for a long time.
"..." Lu Hu suddenly choked, "Huh? What?"
"As we looked around just now, the decoration of the Ministry of Finance is really too exaggerated. It feels like it will cost a lot of money. And I noticed that stones are used for decoration in every corner. Min Zhizhou said that gems and stones are extremely precious resources now, and we may be able to make a lot of money from them. So, we should be a little more frugal and increase some fiscal revenue. What do you think?" He Fang's eyes were extremely serious and sincere, and he looked like a good city lord who was serving the country and the people.
Lu Hu raised his eyebrows: "But our Ministry of Finance also needs to decorate its facade, right? Otherwise, why is it called the Ministry of Finance?"
"This decoration is quite ugly..." He Fang expressed his first impression of this luxurious place very honestly, and even raised his head to ask the innocent Min Zhizhou next to him, "What about you? Do you think the decoration here is beautiful?"
Lu Hu had a dull expression and glanced at Min Zhizhou with cold eyes.
Min Zhizhou, who was shot innocently, swallowed his saliva unconsciously: "That... I... I think it's very beautiful, very shocking. I never thought I could see such a wealth gathering place. I even think this place can be listed as a world treasure."
"Did you, Lu Hu, decide on the decoration here?" He Fang was very surprised. Did they really think this decoration was beautiful? Was it his fault?
Lu Hu smiled proudly and said, "Isn't this beautiful? People love money, and I am money. The more they can't get, the more we discard it. When you see those people who are jealous but dare not speak out, it makes you feel happy, isn't it?"
This time it was He Fang's turn to remain silent. He vaguely felt that this might be Lu Hu's hobby.
"Lu Hu, the reason I came to you this time is because the financial situation in the city is not very good right now, and I really need money." He Fang did not continue to talk about other things and went straight to the point.
Lu Hu's eyes flashed with understanding, but he still asked, "Oh?"
"You should have also received the news. There are many other cities outside the Nightmare Forest. Now we have to guard against unknown attacks and expand the land to develop the economy. Moreover, it seems that there is a lot of demand for land. The current treasury is really not enough. Do you have any good suggestions?" He Fang asked Lu Hu with the idea of trying everything possible.
Lu Huci leaned back, half-closed her eyes, and crossed her legs, her red lips slightly curled: "Expand the land, increase the population, increase job opportunities, and increase resource output."
What Lu Hu said was He Fang's very stable approach all along, but now he can't be too steady: "I mean, besides that, now because of the external pressure, if we develop too slowly, we are likely to be attacked. What I want is to develop faster."
"Then choose the method that can quickly expand the land, increase the population, and increase job opportunities and resource output?" Lu Hu's long hair was outlined at his waist, and he reached out to brush it away.
"I just want a method to achieve this effect." He Fang was amused by Lu Hu's roundabout way of thinking. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, he was just an N-PC, and he took it for granted. "Sorry, I'm just asking. This is something I should have thought about."
Lu Hu blinked her eyes. He Fang's disappointment and indifference made her smile unconsciously: "I'm sorry, Lord City Lord, I may not have a good suggestion."
"It's okay." He Fang shook his head a little embarrassedly.
"But Lord City Lord, do you want to make money or expand your land?" Lu Hu smiled and tapped his thigh with his bright red nails in a seductive posture.
He Fang was stunned. He wanted to make money, so he had to expand the land. Only after expanding the land could he make money. Isn't this a conflict?
Lu Hu's foxy eyes locked onto He Fang, her voice was charming and seductive, but her words had nothing to do with seduction: "My dear Lord City Lord, many things cannot be solved at once. Perhaps you can just fix one goal, and the other will be solved easily."
Fix a target? He Fang listened to Lu Hu's words and began to think.
If we have to give a priority to the most urgent thing now, it should be land expansion. As long as there is land, everything else can proceed.
So is there any way to expand land without spending huge amounts of money?
Something suddenly flashed through He Fang's mind.
"Can I use the land outside the Nightmare Forest directly?" He Fang immediately turned around and asked Min Zhizhou, "Can people outside the city still live and work on the land now?"
"Of course, otherwise how can humans survive?" Min Zhizhou gave He Fang an affirmative answer, "Mobile cities are not always moving. When resources are insufficient, they will stay in a safe area to carry out some farming and resource collection."
He Fang's eyes lit up instantly. Since there was ready-made land outside the Nightmare Forest, why did he have to stick to expanding around the city?
However, He Fang had just thought of this possibility, and before he could get over his excitement, he felt disappointed again: "No, we don't know how strong the people outside are. If we develop the city well, but are discovered by other mobile cities and forcibly seize our resources, what should we do?"
He Fang did not want to let the N-PCs in his city take this risk. He has always loved his city and did not want to lose a single N-PC.
"Why are they the ones who are occupying us, and it's impossible for us to occupy them?" At this time, Lu Hu had a sweet smile on his face, half-closed his eyes and looked in the direction.
He Fang was stunned.
"In doomsday, there should be as little fighting as possible. This is the default rule of many mobile cities. Whether it is robbing or being robbed, the casualties are heavy." Min Zhizhou on the side spoke at this time.
"The strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive. This is an eternal truth. Why do we have to follow the same rules as the weak?" Lu Hu obviously didn't care about the people outside the city.
"Maybe the people outside the city are stronger?" Even though Min Zhizhou knew in his heart that the possibility was not high, he could not miss any possibility. It was the nature of a mercenary.
"Then let's swing our swords against the strong. Things are always changing in this world." Lu Huhong covered his lips with his red fingers, his eyes full of excitement for the unknown.
He Fang noticed that Lu Hu was targeting Min Zhizhou in his conversation and laughed, and clearly felt the collision of two different ideas.
"What's more..." Lu Hu suddenly half-closed his eyes, his tone full of laughter, "Now outside the city, the world has been doomed for a long time, people's livelihood is declining, and everywhere is being chased and covered by nightmare seeds. The land where humans can live is also gradually decreasing, but nightmare seeds are harmless to us. Doesn't this prove that we are in an absolutely advantageous position?"
When He Fang heard this, he was suddenly stunned, as if he understood something and was stunned for a moment.
The red fingertips stroked He Fang's cheek. Lu Hu stood up and held He Fang's cheek affectionately. The fragrant perfume blurred He Fang's senses: "For example... we can give desperate humans the land and shelter they most desire. For example... where we are is the hinterland of death that they absolutely dare not invade."
He Fang reacted suddenly, his eyes widened.
