Chapter 74 Xuantian City is a wealthy city
Some ordinary residents saw the professional players turn around and leave for the shops. They became anxious and didn't want to say anything to Yao Bing'an. Buying life-saving items was the most important thing.
Seeing some people leaving and running to the shops, the others were also inspired. Since they were going out of the city and staying in the wild for a while, they had to buy equipment and props.
Yao Bing'an and his group finally broke free from the encirclement and walked forward without looking back.
Although they could gain great combat power by taking the patrol NPCs with them, if they were really taken away, a riot would break out in the city and some people would probably die.
Cheng Yunshi admired Yao Bing'an very much. Letting the NPCs continue to stay in the city-state could at least ensure the absolute safety of the city within those seven days.
In Wu Yu City, both professional and ordinary residents were shopping like crazy. No one was reluctant to spend money now. They had to keep spending money as long as they were alive.
The pharmacy was the first to be visited, and the professional players who arrived first bought most of the goods. They had sufficient funds and their purchasing power was not comparable to that of ordinary residents.
The goods in all the shops were quickly cleared out, and next came the food outside the city. Ordinary residents no longer dared to go out to collect it, but instead gathered together and prepared to set off to the nearby city-states with their large numbers.
In the following days, professional players were collecting food outside the city. Even if there were ordinary residents among them, most of them had professional players at home.
A week passed quickly, and the residents who had not left saw Wu Yu City disappear before their eyes, like a mirage dissipating in the clouds.
The surroundings are still the same as before, except that the original location of Wu Yu City has been occupied by giant trees and has turned back into a forest.

Lu Jiu received a message from Yao Bing'an a few days before Wu Yucheng disappeared, saying that she was disbanding the city-state and preparing to live in Xuantian City.
This surprised her. The last time she saw a city-state being disbanded, it was because Phantom City was already doomed and there was nothing that could be done. This time, it was the city lord who took the initiative to disband it.
After asking about the situation, Shen Jufeng learned the reason and was not surprised. "She is quite good. She knew to disband the city-state before winter came."
In fact, it is not impossible for Yao Bingan to fight to the death. After all, many residents really do not have the ability to get from one city-state to another on their own.
"After listening to her story, I realized how good I was in the past."
In fact, she purchased all kinds of supplies just to make the residents have money so that they can trade in the city. Otherwise, ordinary residents would not be able to kill wild monsters and it would be difficult to raise the rent in the early stage.
Although 95% of the collected supplies were not used and were still stored, this gave her confidence. She finally understood why the country needed to store so much grain in the past. Food is the foundation of the people.
"As a city lord, you must have abundant supplies and be able to resolve crises faced by the vast majority of residents at critical moments. Only then can the city-state maintain long-term stability."
In the past, Lu Jiu always said that he was the European Emperor, but Shen Jufeng thought that Lu Jiu was not bad in luck either.
Today, Xuantian City is still the same as before, and the transaction of purchasing materials is still there. Anyway, it will never be withdrawn.
Lu Jiu sat in his city lord chair and said boredly, "Although it's good that the residents are self-sufficient, I still need to improve their living environment."
Although it is autumn now, Lu Jiu still spent gold coins to hire three professional collection teams to go to other areas to collect supplies.
One of the teams was dedicated to collecting food, while the other two teams looked for firewood that was particularly resistant to burning.
As long as they found a collection point, they would report it to Lu Jiu. She would directly use the teleportation crystal to establish a channel, making it more convenient for the collection team to travel back and forth and saving time.
The game world does not have high-end decorations such as floor heating. The buildings still use the old-fashioned floor heating and fireplaces for heating. At this time, firewood and haystacks are very necessary.
The firewood that residents usually use to cook food is available near the city-state. Many trees are easily broken in autumn, and there is no shortage of firewood in the city-state at present, and there is still some time before winter.
"Doesn't the guesthouse we're staying in have its own fire wall? The wall and floor are connected." Shen Jufeng looked at the room. There was a fire channel specifically for burning firewood. When charcoal was burned at the entrance, the heat could flow through the center and warm up the entire room.
Lu Jiu tutted his words. "The improvement I'm talking about is making more small hand warmers. You should have seen them in ancient TV dramas. They're filled with hot water and wrapped in cloth to prevent burns. They also have a handle. Very cute."
The heating props they can make now are all ancient, but they are really useful. Lu Jiu quite likes this.
“Then do you want to open more branches in the future? You have too many types of products to produce.” Shen Jufeng said.
Lu Jiu slapped the handle of his chair. "Yeah, I'm still not sure if we can open a branch. After all, life definitely depends on various props to help us. I'm also planning to ask the store manager to make a sickle. It can be used to kill monsters and gather food, the best of both worlds."
Shen Jufeng silently lit a candle for the manager of the forging shop in his heart. He worked day and night and the city lord also asked them to develop new equipment.
He nodded, "As long as you are happy."

Yao Bing'an explained his whereabouts to several familiar city lords. It took a long time for the city lords to send emails, saying that if the city-state was dissolved in the future, they would consider settling in Xuantian City.
In addition to Yao Bing'an's team, there were also many professional players from Wu Yu City who came to Xuantian City with them. They all knew that the equipment and potions that were previously hot-selling in Wu Yu City were produced in Xuantian City.
Now that even Yao Bingan wants to go there, they might as well follow for the sake of the future, not to mention that they have the ability to protect themselves.
In this way, the group spent nearly a week on the road before reaching Xuantian City.
When they arrived at Xuantian City, the first thing they noticed was the weapons on the city walls. The rows of cannons and crossbows were very intimidating.
Yao Bing'an, who was originally the city lord, knew how powerful these weapons were.
Cheng Yunshi had heard about the city defense weapons from her brother, and when she saw the weapons on the walls of Xuantian City, she couldn't help but admire them. "So this is what the city defense cannons and chariot crossbows look like. The lord of Xuantian City is really rich, even filling all 80 weapon slots with weapons."
One weapon costs 1 gold coin, so a full pack of 80 will cost 80 gold coins. The combined assets of all of them are not that much.
Although the other professional players who followed did not know about the city defense weapons, after hearing what Cheng Yunshi said, they knew that these weapons were quite powerful.
Yao Bing'an thought to himself, "As expected, it seems that coming here was the right choice for us." As he spoke, he looked at the expressions of the surrounding residents.
Everything looked the same as the last time they came, and people were still doing the same things.
"Let's go to the lodging house and put our things down first, and then discuss other things." Captain Xiang suggested.
Yao Bing'an nodded, turned around and said to the professional players who came with him, "Then we will part ways here. I wish you all a new world here in the future."
"The same goes for you." The other party also gave the blessing.
Yao Bing'an and his friends had been to Xuantian City before, so they were not in a hurry to go shopping. They wanted to decide on a place to stay first. The professional players who followed them went to take a look at the overall situation of Xuantian City first.
After arriving, they inquired and found out that there were both ordinary residents and professional residents collecting food from the fields outside the city.
