Chapter 71 Transaction
"Squeak~" The rock rat responded to Josh with a long nasal sound and crawled out of the hole with sleepy eyes.
Qiao Xi picked it up and whispered to it, "Wake up, Kongyanshu, there's an important person looking for you."
"Squeak" Huh? Kong Yanshu didn't understand and turned his head to look at Qiao Xi.
"I don't know what it is. Maybe it's a good thing. Let's go and take a look together."
Back in the living room, Josh knocked on the half-open door to politely remind them.
"Is this the Soraru? A cute little fellow."
Esther's eyes softened as she looked at the chubby little squirrel in front of her.
Josh wasn't sure what he meant. What was he planning to do?
Looking at the nervous little girl next to her, Esther felt that there was no need to say all the polite words that had been organized before. She could just tell her the purpose of her visit directly. She was not like those old-fashioned people who only put profit first.
"Josh, we want you and your rock rat to do the Authority a favor."
"What is it? Can you explain it more clearly? Qiao Xi doesn't quite understand." She blinked, a little confused.
"Neither the Chaoyang City Administration nor the professional office has space beasts. I don't know if you know this." Esther did not directly answer Josh's question, but asked her a question in return.
"I know." Josh nodded.
"It's because someone deliberately blocked the flow of space beasts to Chaoyang City. Any space beasts in the hands of the government cannot be transferred to Chaoyang City without a federal order. The major management bureaus in Chaoyang City were established not long ago, and they still haven't obtained a space beast of their own."
"You know, whether it's the delivery of shipping boxes in the farm or the repair and stabilization of space cracks, it requires powerful space power. We are Chaoyang City, a well-known pioneering city. There are countless space collisions here every day, which requires countless space stones to be put into use.
But what’s funny is that our Administration doesn’t even have a single space monster.”
"This sounds incredible. Has the expedition team never encountered this in other secret realms? This is too..."
"It's too exaggerated and ridiculous, isn't it? Of course the expedition team has encountered them and captured a few, but there are also different dignitaries behind our expedition team, representing different interests. Those space monsters that should have been sent to the Chaoyang City Administration Bureau, without exception, all died from the sequelae of crossing the space barrier."
"It's ridiculous, isn't it?" Esther smiled bitterly.
Josh was silent. Is it really okay to tell her, a small farmer, about this? She didn't want to cause trouble!
"As an administrative bureau, we are short of space-attribute monsters, so our daily work is restricted everywhere. We can only buy high-quality space stones from other big cities at high prices. We are being held hostage by others. At this critical moment, they are asking for an exorbitant price and demanding double the federation points from us."
"We can't even stabilize some of the confidential secret realms reserved by the Administration. Qiao Xi, can you help the Chaoyang City Administration?"
"Ah? Me?" Josh pointed at himself, very surprised.
To be honest, she didn't quite understand. Although it seemed that the Chaoyang City Federal Administration was in a very difficult situation, what did it have to do with her?
The Sky Rock Rat is just a slightly smarter low-level magical beast. It is so small that it cannot solve such a big problem.
"Yes, of course. I'm not telling you anything. I just want you to know some stories behind the Chaoyang City Administration. We just need you to do us a small favor."
"Well, sir, why don't you just tell me what you want to do?" Qiao Xi couldn't hold it in and asked directly. After saying so much, it felt like she was trying to make someone take the blame. Oh my God, Qiao Xi really wanted to cover her ears. She didn't want to listen at all!
"Hehe, let's have the Sky Rock Rat help us charge some special artificial space stones."
Charging? This is no big deal. Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief. However, what is this special? She raised her head and looked at Esther.
One thing that Esther didn't make clear was that Chaoyang City was blocked by the major city-states because of those encrypted secret realms. Hidden in those realms were the secrets of Chaoyang City's control over the space gates to those stable secret realms. How could they possibly hand them over to them?
This was something Esther would never allow.
If it weren't for the recent changes in space tides, serious space collisions, severe shortage of staff in the Administration, and the depletion of space stone reserves, he wouldn't have been forced to this point.
Another thing is that the few space beasts originally in the city, which could have been rented out, were also maliciously hidden away and refused to be lent out. This was what made him most angry.
Esther's face became even more gloomy.
But he didn't keep a straight face to Josh, "Josh, I will give you those special space stones that have exhausted their space energy. In return, I will no longer charge you taxes for shipping boxes in the future, and the Federal Administration warehouse will open an exchange channel for you. And I can do one thing for you personally and unconditionally. You only need to recharge those space stones, that's all."
"What are the conditions?"
"What?" Esther was a little surprised. Shouldn't she ask a few more questions?
"The condition is that until I am no longer the director of the Chaoyang City Federal Administration, you must charge these space stones for a long time and cannot reveal any information."
"Okay." Qiao Xi hoped that no one knew about this. She hated things that were too risky.
"Don't you have any other requests?" Esther was a little surprised. For such an important matter, shouldn't she make some more requests for him to satisfy?
"No need, sir. The conditions you offer are already very generous. It's not something that is too difficult to do. Don't worry, I will keep my promise." Qiao Xi didn't want to listen to him anymore. He always felt that the more secrets he knew, the faster he would die. Oh my God, please don't involve me in your internal fighting.
Qiao Xi wished he would leave quickly, she didn't want to hear any of this.
"Okay, Josh, let's have a pleasant cooperation." Esther laughed.
The investigation results showed that Qiao Xi was just a small individual farmer who benefited from the farm call-up order. She had no power behind her. The farm was not developing very fast and was growing step by step. No one would focus on such an inconspicuous little girl.
She is the perfect person to work with.
Powerful high-level monsters can ensure her safety, not to mention that she has two of them.
Esther was very satisfied with this secret cooperation. He didn't have to worry about anything at all. Josh seemed to want to keep it secret even more than he did. It seemed that she didn't want these things to affect the development of the farm.
She is a pragmatic little girl.
He likes young people like this, and he will not let her regret her decision today, absolutely.
I hope everyone will support me in the new year!
