Under Mo Beihan's astonished gaze, Chu Xu slowly spoke.
"I won't try to persuade him. I'll just tell my boss the truth: you gave five cities in exchange for a chance not to be wiped out. As for how my boss decides, that's not something I can interfere with."
Mo Beihan opened his mouth, but could only manage a bitter smile in the end. "Fine, that's fine too. Let's leave everything to fate."
After he finished speaking, he took out a map with five cities marked on it.
The next day, Chu Xu followed the map and successfully took over five cities, with no reaction from the local people.
When this news reached Floating City, it surprised and envied the group of ghost generals who were in a meeting.
Originally, all the teams were at roughly the same pace, but this time the gap has widened considerably.
When it comes to rewards for meritorious service in the future, the team that captures the most cities will definitely receive the highest reward.
At this point, the group of cunning generals, along with Jiang Yu and his companions, had been discussing the matter for a whole day but had not come up with a solution.
They didn't want to bring the boss back over this matter unless absolutely necessary.
That would make them seem too incompetent.
The delivery guy was presiding over a meeting when a little guy suddenly walked in.
"Steward, someone outside is looking for us. They say they are an old friend from the capital, named Du Fuwei."
The deliveryman met with Du Fuwei; they had met a few times before.
After exchanging a few polite words, Du Fuwei left a letter and hurriedly departed.
The delivery guy glanced at the contents of the letter and then immediately contacted Xia Tianqiong.
The floating city is becoming more and more lively every day, with more and more guests.
Both Zhen Gui and the old steward of the Leng family were skilled in runes and formations. They joined forces to set up a long-distance teleportation rune array in the liberated city.
People can be teleported directly to the floating city, thus ensuring a continuous flow of visitors.
However, the teleportation array has a distance limit, not exceeding one thousand kilometers. The floating city still needs to fly around to expand its coverage area.
Since Song Shiqiao took over the management, there have been new changes almost every day.
For example, the zoo was strange. It had been sitting idle in the mirror space for a long time, serving no purpose. It hadn't done any work or received any salary in all these years, and Xia Tianqiong had completely forgotten about it.
Now, however, it has been placed in the most bustling area of the floating city and transformed into an amusement park.
The two sisters, Huang Yiman and Huang Liyun, have been in the Floating City for two or three days and come to the amusement park almost every day.
There's a barbecue stall inside, and the two sisters are currently enjoying skewers and drinks.
Huang Yiman glanced at her watch and suddenly urged, "Liyun, the animal show is about to start, let's hurry over!"
"What's so interesting about wild animals? You'd be better off eating more roasted meat. This meat is good for your health."
Huang Liyun held a juicy skewer of meat in her left hand and a wine jug in her right. She ate with great gusto, taking a bite of grilled meat and a sip of spirit wine.
She didn't seem to mind the male customers at the surrounding tables who would occasionally steal glances at her.
The meat here isn't ordinary meat. First of all, it comes from wild beasts from the chessboard world, which don't exist on Earth.
Secondly, one of the strange things about the zoo is that the meat grilled there is believed to have the effect of strengthening the body.
If used for a long time, it will also grant the Berserk ability, instantly doubling strength and speed.
This is also why Huang Liyun loves to eat it.
She was already incredibly strong; if she were to combine that with the Berserk Technique, she might be able to withstand the fierce and treacherous attacks.
"You can hold a skewer of meat and eat while you look around. The animals there look so strange; I've never seen them before. It's very interesting."
Huang Yiman grabbed the remaining meat skewers, pulled her younger sister along with her other hand, and headed towards the performance area.
On their first day here, they tried to find the delivery guy, hoping to see Xia Tianqiong. However, they learned he wasn't on the floating island, so they had no choice but to wait.
Fortunately, it's convenient to eat and stay in the floating city, and the food is delicious and fun.
Huang Liyun, holding a wine jug, followed Huang Yiman to the animal performance area.
Another strange feature of the zoo is that it can awaken the intelligence in ordinary animals, making them as smart as twelve or thirteen-year-old children.
The animal shows here are incredibly diverse, almost like people dressed in animal skins performing.
As soon as the two sisters arrived at the performance area and found their seats, they saw a large black bear pushing a small cart towards them.
Huang Yiman glanced inside and saw boxes of spirit fruit platters, drinks made with spirit wine, and some common snacks.
Prices were posted on everything. She grabbed two drinks at random and handed the big black bear a hundred-yuan ghost money note.
The big black bear took out a twenty-yuan note from his money pouch and gave it to her in change. Then he continued pushing his cart to find the next customer.
If it were your first time here, you might think that the big black bear is eerie, or that it's a person in disguise.
But it is actually one of the earliest animals here, and the longer it stays here, the higher its intelligence becomes.
The two ate and drank, watched the performance, and were very pleased with themselves.
The same applies to the people who come to the floating city to spend money and the ghost hunters; they find it to be a paradise on earth.
Not only are there lots of good stuff, but it's also safe enough that no one dares to cause trouble here, whether it's a person or something supernatural.
In addition to the barbecue stalls and animal performance area, the amusement park also has an aquarium.
There are eight stunningly beautiful mermaids with unique figures inside, attracting many perverted men to come and watch.
It's actually a fish demon!
They were caught by Xia Tianqiong at the beach back then, but they were never of any use until Song Shiqiao took them out for exhibition, and that's when they gained value.
After watching the animal show, the two sisters decided to go see the mermaids.
Just then, a long shadow swept across the sky.
Looking up, I saw a white dragon with two figures riding on it.
"He's back."
