Yes!

What on earth is he worried about?!

He has always been worried that his city's defenses are not strong enough, but his city is surrounded by nightmare beast forests that are feared and fled by people outside the city, but have no effect on people inside the city!

The nightmare seeds that can bring about the end of the world are completely ineffective in their cities, but to the outside world, it is still a doomsday plague that everyone is afraid of and hiding from. No one would want to get close to a vast nightmare forest!

Lu Hu's fingers wantonly pinched He Fang's fair and tender cheeks, and a few traces of infatuation flashed in his eyes: "My lovely Lord Mayor, you seem to be very happy. Can you share your happiness with me?"

He Fang really found that he had entered a blind spot from the beginning, but Lu Hu was sober and surprised: "The information you are thinking about is something I have never thought of."

Awesome, my N-PC!

"Oh? Then maybe I can say more?" Lu Hu's eyes were full of smiles: "Not only can we obtain vast expanses of land without any effort, don't we also have escaped humans to increase the population? We can even open up transactions in mobile cities. As long as we take the initiative in transactions and provide sufficient technical support so that they can successfully settle on a piece of land and become our vassals, the more people there are, the larger the land, the greater the supply and demand, and supply and demand can drive the economy."

He Fang thought about it carefully. Although this proposal is very troublesome, as long as it is done well, it can make a substantial leap forward in the current situation. Lu Hu's ultimate goal should be to control the lifeline of the transaction.

"So how do you think I should make the mobile city our vassal? Negotiate with the mobile city? Establish a cooperative relationship? We don't have a way to really protect them from the Nightmare Beast seeds right now." He Fang asked the question he was thinking about at the moment.

Lu Hu put away his hands and rested them on his chin. At this moment, his beautiful and charming fox eyes revealed a bit of murderous interest.

"We can directly attack them with force and suppress them by force. If we are in trouble, we can disintegrate them from within and make them lose their morale. It would be interesting to have them beg us for protection. Besides... who knows that we don't understand the nature of the Nightmare Seed? Isn't it enough for us to protect them and save them from displacement?"

He Fang finally discovered that Lu Hu might be a woman with an extremely domineering personality. Every word she said showed her strong desire for control and contempt for human will.

He Fang turned around and asked the silent Min Zhizhou: "What do you think?"

"Because it is impossible to measure the difference in combat power between a city and a mobile city, I think if we must do it, it is best to do sufficient investigation in advance. If we just want to enter the city, I have countless ways to lead you to explore." Min Zhizhou said.

He Fang gasped: "I always thought you were a peace advocate, but you actually support it?"

Min Zhizhou's expression was complicated. His eyes were dim, as if he had a thousand words to say but couldn't express them. In the end, he just sighed: "In the desperate and painful escape, everyone is looking forward to the birth of a savior, hoping that the world will return to its right place, and that life will no longer be threatened. Perhaps invasion and occupation are not the best policy, but if being invaded and occupied can gain a safer life, perhaps more people...willing to do so."

He Fang looked at Min Zhizhou's profile and felt that what Min Zhizhou said now was probably the heartfelt words of a person surviving in the apocalypse. In the past hundred years since the apocalypse, all people have lived in fear and exhaustion. Perhaps being enslaved by his city would be a better choice.

Has the situation outside the city really developed to such a terrible level? He Fang was shocked.

"But I don't agree with what Lu Hu said about the vassal status. It is said that a hundred years ago, everyone was equal and enjoyed fair rights, and the concept of vassalage no longer existed. You... why do you want to turn back time and return to the past when you were not fully civilized?" Min Zhizhou frowned, but finally revealed the good side of his character.

"The Nightmare Seeds have worked so hard to turn this world into doomsday. Now the world is like plasticine that can be reshaped at will. Why should the creations of our noble Creator show sympathy to people like you who don't even have rights?" Lu Hu was obviously very proud of his own thinking, and even his voice was rising with joy.

"In your eyes, are humans just tools for making money?" Min Zhizhou frowned.

"Of course!" Lu Hu suddenly turned over and sat in front of Min Zhizhou, looking down at the tall man with disdain and laughing at him. He was not inferior to him in momentum. "In this world, there are only two most important things. First, the Creator, and second, money!"

Min Zhizhou choked and looked in the direction.

He Fang was stunned and looked away.

He Fang has played quite a lot of games, and it is common for him to be praised by N-PCs in the game. However, when the images of these N-PCs appear in front of him in full and every word they say is in his favor, He Fang still finds it difficult to accept.

"Then..." He Fang felt the awkward atmosphere and coughed, "Let me think about it again, that... Lu Hu, can't you save some money?"

Lu Hu smiled, but he had no intention of giving in: "My dear Lord Mayor, there will be taxes only if there is circulation and trading, and all my expenses are also to ensure the normal finances of the national treasury."

"Oh..." So you're so powerful, but you won't give me money when I ask for it, He Fang sighed.

When He Fang and Min Zhizhou left, Lu Hu stood at the door of the Finance Department and watched them leave with a smile on her face. Min Zhizhou could still feel the strong sense of oppression that this woman brought to him.

Looking at He Fang who also had an innocent look on her face, he felt admiration in his heart. A woman like Lu Hu could be so obedient to the city lord. He Fang must be very good at manipulating people. He had said so much in front of He Fang before, but it was just a waste of time.

"I seem to have been guided by Lu Hu." He Fang had been away from the Ministry of Finance for a long time when he suddenly said, "Although it seems that I came up with this idea, it seems that I was guided by Lu Hu."

Min Zhizhou looked at He Fang beside him and smiled. Indeed, the right to speak throughout the whole process was under the control of Lu Hu. She guided He Fang in thinking and learning. She was an elder who loved He Fang and was very worthy of admiration.

Min Zhizhou pretended to cough twice: "After all, you have successfully made such a strong woman work hard for you under your leadership. This is really not easy."

"She's really amazing." He Fang said sincerely, his N-PC is really excellent, he even feels a little proud of the excellence of his N-PC.

"Doesn't this prove that your subordinates are really excellent? Being able to use such excellent subordinates also shows that you have a keen eye for talent." Min Zhizhou could see that He Fang was thinking hard, studying hard, trying hard to keep up with the pace, and seriously considering the city and protecting everyone in the city.

He Fang blushed. He was happy to see Lu Hu and himself being praised. He said uncomfortably, "She is so powerful that I can't even get any money from her."

Min Zhizhou: “?”

"I'll go back and think about it carefully. You go back to work." He Fang suddenly disappeared because he felt embarrassed.

Min Zhizhou: “?”
