Chapter 346 Obsession with Corn!
"This city lord keeps his word and never lies! However..."
Xiao Yu made a confident guarantee, but then he changed the subject and asked, "Can you come up with five million to trade with me?"
“Sure! As long as the City Lord of Dragon City agrees not to help the Xue family, let alone a mere five million…” Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s promise, Sotun was overjoyed and blurted out.
Xiao Yu's move just now was enough to make him abandon all his plans to use force to coerce him.
This Lord of Dragon City should only be treated with kindness; one should never fight him.
No matter the cost, we must win him over; we absolutely cannot allow him to side with the Xue family.
However, it wasn't until he said the number five million that Sotun realized what was happening.
"Um... Lord Dragon City, this amount is too high." Sotun rubbed his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Since we're not friends anymore, could you lower the price? Would one million be alright?"
Sotun tried to get close to Xiao Yu and get him to agree, but...
"No! Five million! That's for my friend!"
Xiao Yu waved his hand and interrupted coldly, "Does... Lord Sotun think you're only worth one million? Five million energy stones, not a single one less!"
"you..."
Hearing this cold question, Sotun became furious.
He suddenly stood up and glared angrily at Xiao Yu.
"Brother, calm down. Didn't I tell you already? I told you to prepare five million beforehand." Seeing the two men on the verge of conflict, Batu quickly pulled his brother down to sit and urged, "We need to focus on dealing with the Xue family now. We can't afford to make any more enemies!"
He was deeply afraid that his elder brother would anger Xiao Yu.
Then, both brothers were imprisoned in Dragon City.
That would be a joke.
"But..."
Sotun shook his head with a wry smile. "I only brought two million. I thought you were being held captive by the Dragon City Lord, so I originally planned to bring two million to ransom you. But seeing you were safe and sound, I didn't take it out, but I didn't expect..."
He didn't say the rest.
He felt that the city lord of Dragon City was showing him no respect at all.
I'm supposed to be a future ninth-tier powerhouse, can't I even get a 90% discount based on that?
I painstakingly raised five million to buy enhancement drugs! How can I hand it over?
"I wonder... Lord of Dragon City, what exactly is this deal you're talking about?" Seeing Xiao Yu's obsession with five million, Sotun knew that he was powerless to change the number.
He felt that the only thing they could discuss was the goods.
If... Xiao Yu doesn't go too far and lets him trade for corn...
Baldy and his confidants exchanged glances and nodded secretly.
Clearly, the group had already devised a plan in just a few glances.
I'm planning to ask for more good stuff.
We can't just give away five million for nothing!
"All the goods in my Dragon City Commercial Street and all the treasures in the Rare Treasures Pavilion are available for trade. Once the amount reaches five million, you will be my friend," Xiao Yu said casually.
"What? That's it?" Sotun and his confidants stood up again, incredulous.
"Is there a problem with this? Do you think it's not enough?" Xiao Yu was equally incredulous.
I was thinking to myself, "Are these people out of their minds?"
“Not a small amount! There’s already a large amount!” Sotun and the others waved their hands repeatedly.
So, it turns out that the five million wasn't given to Longcheng for nothing?
You should have said so earlier! He would have been very happy to trade corn!
"Then... how exactly does the transaction work?" The thought of being able to trade for corn made Sotun's eyes light up, and he looked intently at Xiao Yu.
Previously, he felt that the Lord of Dragon City was not giving him any face.
But now... he feels that spending five million to make friends with Xiao Yu is totally worth it!
He's actually willing to trade these good things with me; what a generous friend!
"Go and stroll around the commercial street yourselves. Let our people register whatever you want to buy! You can also visit the Rare Treasures Pavilion..." With the five million transaction amount settled, Xiao Yu smiled and waved his hand amiably.
"Ling Shuang, why don't you take them around?"
Sotun and his confidants instinctively looked in that direction and saw a tall young woman striding in with long legs. They were all immediately surprised: "A sixth-level expert, how could she have such power?"
Since Chu Ling Shuang's transformation.
Not only did she grow two or three centimeters taller, exceeding 1.9 meters, but her figure also became even more stunning and hot.
Moreover, a touch of gold had appeared in his originally dark eyes, giving him an air of majesty.
Sotun and Batu are both at the eighth rank, so they don't think much of it.
However, several of his trusted confidants, including Bald Eyes, who were present all had their brows furrowed.
Despite being at the peak of the seventh rank, they sensed that this girl was dangerous.
Moreover... the weapons and armor worn by this girl are top-tier Tier 6 equipment!
"In that case, thank you very much, Lord of Dragon City!" Sotun said gratefully as everything was settled.
Then, he led Batu and the others, along with Chu Ling Shuang and the three beast-eared girls, to the commercial street.
"I don't know, how is this corn traded? How much can you sell it to me for? Are there discounts for buying more?" As the group walked, Sotun asked several questions in a row.
"One ear of raw corn costs 100 energy stones, and if you buy 50 ears, you'll get a free seedling," Chu Ling Shuang introduced with a smile.
She walked among a group of tall men, her towering figure overwhelming the group of seventh-level cultivators, making her stand out like a crane among chickens.
His own aura was overwhelming, second only to Sotun and Batu.
"They even give away seedlings?" Sotun's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Eyeball and his confidants' eyes lit up with excitement, but then their faces turned bitter.
"Commander Chu, as you know, our City of Ruins is in the desert and is extremely short of water, this..." Sotun's smile disappeared, and he spoke with a wry smile about the predicament of the City of Ruins.
He really wanted the corn seedlings, but the problem was...
There isn't even enough water for people to drink, so how could it be used to irrigate plants?
If he dared to waste water to grow plants, he would be cursed to death!
“Oh, our Dragon City also has water resources, which can also be traded. You can have as much as you want,” Chu Ling Shuang said with a smile.
"What? Thank you so much!" Sotun was overjoyed.
The inner city of Dragon City is so large, filled with all kinds of vegetables, plants, and fruit trees...
He had long suspected that Dragon City had abundant water resources.
He never expected that Longcheng would be willing to trade with him for such a precious item.
The key is... you can have as many as you want!
"Since that's the case... I, the city lord, have decided to buy two million worth of corn!" Sotun declared with a grand gesture.
He wanted to plant a large cornfield around his city lord's mansion.
From now on... there will be an endless supply of corn! And popcorn too!
"Cough cough..." Hearing this, Chu Ling Shuang was startled and coughed lightly.
She looked at the burly man with a full beard with a strange expression. Did this man have some kind of obsession with corn?
"Lord Sotun, I suggest you take a stroll through the commercial street first, and then we'll discuss it further..."
Although Longcheng currently has enough corn reserves to produce two million.
But the problem is, if you only buy so much of one type of food, what about buying other things?
Chu Ling Shuang felt that to be a good sales assistant, one should explain things clearly to customers.
“Yes, Lord City Lord! Dragon City has many good things. Let’s take a look around first.” Bald Eyes and other confidants also pulled Sotun aside and persuaded him.
They felt that their originally wise and powerful city lord was...
Since entering Dragon City, I've become somewhat impulsive in my words and actions.
“Yes, brother! There are many good things in the shopping street!” Batu also chimed in.
These past few days, he's been constantly being asked by Xiao Yu to lead the way at Jiebing Pavilion, so he hasn't had any time to stroll around the commercial street.
Moreover, there are hardly any customers in Longcheng now. Except for the Longmen Inn, which has someone on duty because Batu and another person are staying there.
The rest of the commercial street has hardly ever been open.
But today, because of the arrival of Sotun and others, we are about to arrive at the City of Ruins.
Therefore, all the shops on the commercial street opened for business.
The only time people could buy corn on the cob was when they went into town.
"In that case, let's hurry up and leave!"
