Chapter 104: Seen through

He Ange knew that the city-state cannot lack residents. So after the riots, he didn’t force the ordinary residents to go out. If he forces them until they all ran away, he, the city lord, was the one who will suffer in the end.

That guy was so greedy for power, how could he be willing to give up his supreme power as the city lord?

Lu Jiu shook her head: “He is indeed stupid and bad.”

Such a city-state will be eliminated sooner or later. The current world was not all about survival but also has to face the beast tide that was currently unknown.

The City-state updates gave ordinary residents weapons that can be used, which shows that defending the city was not just the responsibility of the professional players.

If many don’t pay attention to the important points, Lu Jiu can imagine many city-states will be eliminated next year.

Zhuang Yun thought of Xuantian City where he was staying, and couldn’t help blowing rainbow farts: “It’s better to be in Xuantian City, there is no such nonsense at all, and the city lord has rules.”

Hearing such praise, Liu Jiu was secretly delighted. When this kind of conflict happened at the beginning, she was very distressed about how to ease the situation.

It was Shen Jufeng who gave her a lot of help. As a former president of a large company, his background accumulated from several generations of political and business affairs, and he had a lot of experience. So she gave him the position as the deputy city lord.

Lu Jiu couldn’t help but feel it was worth it for her to spend a lot of money to keep such a talent. She knew from the beginning that she was not management material.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Lu Jiu said: “Let’s go shopping casually for a few more days, collect more Colin sheep, and go back, it’s quite messy here.”

The main reason was that she was worried that if she was not in the city-state, something bad will happen.

The other two have no objection, that was the reason they came here anyway.

He Ange was sitting on a seat covered with an exquisite blanket in the City Lord’s Mansion. His eyes were closed. He was resting his mind.

Since the riots, Dragon Flood City seems to have fallen into dead silence. Although there were many professional residents in the city, there were very few transactions.

They exchange resources, even if they buy equipment in his shop, he has to lower the price.

All transactions in his city-state need to pay taxes. Registered residents in the city-state have to pay taxes for every transaction. To establish a good trading environment, his tax was not high, but a large number of transactions was also a lot of money income.

More importantly, he wanted a vibrant city-state, so that he can feel like he was the lord of the city, but now, he seems to be managing a dead city.

He also focused on professional players, so he was not popular with ordinary residents. If the professional residents don’t stand by him, then he won’t be able to continue being the city lord next spring.

While thinking about these bad things, someone mailed him.

He Ange clicked on the mail with a blank expression. In the past, many people sent him emails. Since the riots, ordinary residents seemed to be silent collectively, and the number of emails he received decreased by 98%.

[Li Aoting: I have decided to disband the city-state, and then go to other city-states. He Ange, before I leave, I would like to advise you sincerely, don’t take ordinary people’s lives for granted.]

What happened in Dragon Flood City was known to several nearby city-states. Li Aoting especially disapproved of him not dealing with those professional players.

But so what if he dealt with it? The two parties were against each other, he needed a valuable party.

Ordinary residents don’t listen to his proposal at all. If he offended the professional players again, they will ignore him, and the entire Dragon Flood City would disappear.

He Ange replied to her patiently:

[He Ange: I know, where are you going? ]

He thought it would be great if she could come here.

Looking at what he said, Li Aoting knew he didn’t listen. She thought in her heart that she will pack up and leave in a few months. Anyway, she would disband on her initiative, and He Ange might end up being disbanded passively.

[Li Aoting: Going to see the city-states in other districts, the first choice is Xuantian City.]

[He Ange: Why don’t you spend the winter here and go there in the spring?]

Li Aoting laughed. She could guess what this guy was thinking. Why would she go to a place that was more chaotic than her city-state?

[Li Aoting: No, it’s just autumn now, so it’s just right to go there, and it’s not too far away.]

[He Ange: Well, you can come to me if you change your mind. If you can help me, that would be a great help.]

Li Aoting curled her lips when she saw this reply, but she didn’t take it to heart.

[Li Aoting: Well, let’s not talk about it, I still have a lot of things to deal with.]

He Ange had no choice but to give up. He admired Li Aoting, a woman who was quite intelligent. Every time several city lords gathered together, the initiative of the topic was in her hands.

If she can come to his city-state, he doesn’t mind giving her the position of deputy city lord.

Looking at He Ange’s insistence on that kind of bottomless behavior, Li Aoting could only shake her head.

She originally wanted to wait for the spring to disband the city-state so that the residents in the city could leave safely.

During this period, she has been trying to balance the various contradictions in the city-state, which made her physically and mentally exhausted.

When Yao Bingan said that Xuantian City had been promoted to a third-level city-state, and the walls were covered with weapons to protect the city, she decided to give up the idea of holding on until the beginning of spring.

Who knows if there will be a beast siege in winter? She will disband the city-state anyway, why would she spend a lot of gold coins to buy weapons to protect the city?

It was better to disband as soon as it was still possible. Everyone can find a powerful city-state and spend a stable first winter in the game world.

While still thinking about her next plan, someone entered the city lord’s mansion, which was her teammate.

A young girl with dyed blond hair came in: “City Lord, many teams decided to take many ordinary residents to the south of Jinghe District, which is one of the city-states with profound heritage, called Wang Family City.”

Many wealthy people live in a villa area in the south of Jinghe District, and the Wang Family was one of them.

The City Lord was the daughter of the Wang Family who played the game. However, she didn’t spend much money because she just played it for a while on a whim.

But even if she stopped playing the game later, she got equipment and items, including the city building order.

“It’s fine to go there. Anyone of you who wants to go can go with them. I am no longer the city lord, so naturally, there is no need for City Lord Team to exist.”

Li Aoting disbanded the team together. She was not the City Lord anymore, she has no position to ask the team to continue to exist.

The blond girl put her hands behind her back, shook her body slightly, pinned her nails, and said in a muffled voice: “Anyway, I’ll follow you. I’ll go wherever you go, and everyone who went to Xuantian City before with us has seen it all. I’m not the only one who thinks to go there.”

Li Aoting just nodded slightly when she heard the words: “I want to go with everyone, let’s talk about your plans when we get there…”

“Then I’ll tell them to get ready, City… Sister, when are you going to set off? You are still the captain now.”

“Tomorrow, go back today and have a good rest.”

The girl turned and left to tell other teammates the news.

Li Aoting relaxes her body. She only sells off 40% of the products in the city-state and keeps the rest for herself. She planned to distribute half of it to the team members. They also contributed to getting this equipment and props.

Even if her team members go to Wang Family City, she will give the same amount to everyone. She cannot guarantee that they will not meet again in the future, it was always good to have multiple friends.
