While watching him struggle with his inner conflict, You Ran opened the panel to check the grain prices.
It's okay if you don't look, but once you do, you'll be shocked!
Previously, 1 point could be exchanged for 1 ton, but since the bug was fixed, 1 ton now costs 1000 points.
She was absolutely furious.
After a long pause, Chu Heng finally made up his mind and said with difficulty, "You Ran, if... it means sacrificing your good luck in exchange... then I won't exchange it!"
Now it was You Ran's turn to be dumbfounded.
So you were just messing with me for fun?
She put her hands on her hips and exclaimed, "How could you so heartlessly deprive me of my right to save the world?!"
Chu Heng: ...
He smiled wryly and said, "You Ran, I know what it feels like to be plagued by bad luck, and I don't want you to become like that."
You Ran glanced at the luck value on her panel and sighed, "Forget it, I don't have any more. I only have a little over 600 luck points left, which can be exchanged for 600 catties of grain at most."
Saving the world is impossible!
Chu Heng shook his head, "No, You Ran, you're already blessed with good fortune. You don't need to become an unlucky person because of this food..."
"Are you really not going to change it?" You Ran stared at him.
Chu Heng was about to shake his head again when a sudden thought struck him, "Over 600 points? Luck value? Can luck value be measured? How can I increase it?"
Leisurely stroked her chin, "Of course someone should thank me!"
Chu Heng's eyes lit up. "You'll gain luck points if someone thanks you?"
You Ran nodded, "I want to express my sincere gratitude."
Chu Heng immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Thank you, Youran, for saving the people of my Sand City!"
You Ran watched with a smile as the luck value on the panel jumped from 665 to 666. Just as she was about to marvel at the number 666, the panel jumped to 667.
At that moment, Chu Heng was saying, "Thank you, Youran, for saving my soldiers in Sand City!"
You Ran was startled and raised her hand, "Wait a minute!"
Chu Heng paused.
Youran said leisurely, "Say it again."
Chu Heng repeated himself in a serious tone, "Thank you, Youran..."
She didn't hear what he thanked her for, but she did see the number jump to 668.
Huh? It used to be that you could only get 1 point of luck value for someone's thanks, so how come he can contribute 3 points by himself?
She immediately remembered seeing that question mark last time and realized she had completely forgotten about it.
"Each time I express my gratitude, my luck will increase a little!" she exclaimed excitedly. "Your Highness, if you have a way to get all the people to thank me, my luck value will skyrocket, and the more it increases, the more grain I can exchange for!"
Chu Heng immediately beamed, "What's so difficult about that?!"
You Ran nodded leisurely, "Then I'll go and get a new batch!"
After saying that, he jumped off the carriage and walked alone into the City God Temple.
A moment later, she came out again.
Looking at the panel where only 68 luck points remained, he couldn't help but curse the system for being too unfair.
It hurts.
She can only exchange it for a 600-pound one to solve her immediate problem.
Chu Heng immediately whispered a few words to Jia Nan.
A short while later, a dozen soldiers came pushing carts and took away the grain that had appeared out of nowhere.
While sitting in the carriage, You Ran noticed that the luck value on the panel had started to rise rapidly, and then stopped after rising by several dozen points.
She understood; it must be the gratitude of these dozen or so people.
About half an hour later, she noticed that her luck value was starting to rise rapidly.
This time, the increase was rapid. Her eyes widened as she watched her luck value quickly surpass 1000, then 1100, 1200...
She couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What did you tell them?"
Chu Heng smiled, "I only have them distribute the food while telling the people that this food was given by a City God Bodhisattva, and that they must thank the City God Bodhisattva more than ten times."
Yu Chenghuang Bodhisattva Ran: ...
What kind of being is this City God? Can it be associated with her?
Will she even receive this level of gratitude?
Oh no, it turns out she already received the gratitude points from those dozen or so people!
But no matter what, alleviating the food crisis is the most important thing!
She happily went back into the City God Temple and exchanged 1,000 catties of grain for it.
In this way, she exchanged a full 5,000 catties of grain in one afternoon.
Chu Heng naturally didn't forget to have 1,000 jin (500 catties) carried back to the general's mansion to solve the food problem for the soldiers guarding the city.
However, when they returned, Uncle Er and Yun San didn't ask anything, and it's unclear how Chu Heng explained it to them.
The next day, she was surprised to find that her luck value had risen to nearly 10,000 points.
She excitedly dragged Chu Heng back to the City God Temple and exchanged 1,000 jin of pork and 1,000 jin of chicken for three or four times the price.
Chu Heng was shocked.
Is this... such an insane amount of luck? How could it be wasted like this?
The dozen or so soldiers could hardly believe their eyes when they saw the meat.
Is this what they could eat when they were besieged in the city and even their granaries were burned down?
But as shocked as they were, so were the joy and excitement.
Even when food is plentiful, meat is a rare treat.
Just a few days ago we were eating coarse rice and straw, and yesterday we had a hearty bowl of white rice, and today we're eating meat right away?!
Is this war?
Is this Chinese New Year?!
Some people cheered and ran outside, and a few moments later, hundreds of people surged in.
You Ran huddled in the carriage, trembling with fear.
A hundred or so men, singing loudly and proudly, dragged away the meat. No one had any idea that they had just returned from fighting at the city gate.
With meat to eat, what's there to fear about a siege?!
The allure of meat was so strong that when she switched to vegetables and fruits later, the expressions on people's faces noticeably calmed down.
We always need to consider a balanced diet.
With a steady stream of luck points available anyway, she simply switched to a bunch of antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and wound medicines to treat the wounded.
The Western barbarians below the city were baffled. They had heard a few days ago that the city was out of food and that the defending soldiers were clearly powerless to resist and would soon be defeated.
Why did those soldiers suddenly become so energetic and spirited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood?
Moreover, the soldiers of the Great Zhou became more and more courageous in battle, making their siege of the city increasingly difficult.
Just then, the troops sent out to intercept the reinforcements returned with news that they had already engaged the reinforcements and that the reinforcements would arrive in Shacheng in three days.
If they don't capture it within three days, the 200,000-strong Western Barbarian army will face a pincer attack.
