National Juggernaut

Chapter 474 Changed
Walking on the streets of Xingping City, Zheng Li, who smelled of alcohol, was still thinking about what happened at the gathering of old friends just now.

"Many people still can't understand why you are so crazy that you quit Qiushou. I don't know how many well-known battle groups went crazy for a quota. We were lucky to be able to get in the original group."

".I have a lot to do. It's not free in the organization."

Zheng Li shrugged, some things he didn't say very clearly, but he knew they understood.

At this moment, wearing a military overcoat and walking on the street, even if Zheng Li did nothing, the crowd would automatically separate.

Zheng Li turned up his collar, and his lowered military cap blocked most of his sight, only the obvious scar on his right eye was too conspicuous. A military officer who looked like someone who was not easy to mess with was walking on the road. It was natural for ordinary citizens to avoid him. Effect.

Xingping City is very prosperous. A city that can travel to and from more than a dozen different worlds to do various business transactions, maybe it is not prosperous.

Walking on this exotic street, Zheng Li could see more than a dozen races of different ethnic groups, as well as various commercial shops.

What makes Zheng Li feel subtle is that the most popular shop visible to the naked eye is the ore specialty store of the Ater people, and next door to it is the grocery store of the ghost clan, and further outside is another specialty shop of the enemy clan. Because the relationship between the races is too bad, the total amount of goods traded by both parties is relatively small, the price is inflated and the profit is high at the same time, as long as there is a purchase channel, the income will be stable.

Even in Shiqian's hometown, Zheng Li has never seen such an outrageous commercial area. It is a bit cheap to describe it as an inch of land. At a glance, there are more than a dozen shops of different races, all of which sell high-end specialties. Even the servants inside are foreigners.

Moreover, the different windows of a store are all different branches of the same family. For example, the ghost shop has more than 20 windows, and even the salespersons are all different high-level intelligent ghosts.

The horns of big ghosts, the weaving fabrics of silk ghosts, the high-quality onimu weapons of craftsman ghosts, the healing potions of vampires, etc., all the high-end goods from various tribes are displayed at each window.

This is not something that a single ghost king can produce, but a business representative of several ghost kings united.

The same is true for other foreigners. In this small street, the countless rare treasures of the world listed are just the "quasi-high-dimensional" guards in the shop, so that any wishful thinking will let go of what they shouldn't have.

For some reason, the business representatives of the Ghost Clan came late, and when they came, all the shops in the main commercial street were already owned, and it was good to be able to buy one as the head office.

At this point, if you want to buy a store on "Fuxing Avenue", it is not a matter of money at all, and no one will sell it.

These days, no one is stupid. The commercial value that a mobile city can play has made many human races who are old enemies give up their stance and travel thousands of miles to do business. Among any race, there are such a group of pure profit chasers. of those.

At first, people in Xingping were not used to it, but just like some small cities got used to "foreigners" with the development, they got used to it just by looking at it.

This is the most prosperous core commercial street in Xingping City, but it is mainly for the sale of various foreign specialties, and it is also the only way for foreign travelers.

Every time he sees this prosperous street, Zheng Li sighs more and more. It is those foreigners who are most sensitive to the changes of the times. They come here quickly to make money, hoping to get a share of the development of mankind.

By the way, Zheng Li also knew that many of these shops also served as envoys, spy dens, and heads of foreign gangs.

Many of the salespeople inside are ruthless people who can tear down a city with one punch. They wear work clothes during the day and stealth tights at night.

What has changed more in this city is the extraordinary prosperity in business. No one expected that this strategic weapon to intimidate all races has become a well-known super commercial city in the third year since its debut.

Walking into this "Golden Street", even on weekdays, the densely packed crowd still made Zheng Li's scalp tingle.

Not only do they sell all kinds of special military products, but also daily necessities such as clothing, all kinds of psionic equipment, and even exotic beasts. As long as they can be called "special products", they are worth huge sums of money. As far as Zheng Li knows about the benefits, in some places in this city, there are even foreigners buying and selling in private.

And Zheng Li knew better that the five cities in the revival alliance hated human population trading, but turned a blind eye to foreign trade.

After all, for some forces and companies, those "war slaves" who are regarded as losers by their own clans may have quite high value, especially in terms of technology and intelligence.

The City of Ten Thousand Clans is the new honorary title of Xingping City. The City of Ten Thousand Beasts has complained a lot about it. Isn’t this a way of overpowering the Ten Thousand Clans against the Ten Thousand Beasts? But considering the increasingly tense relationship recently, no one really cares about it. The title given to a foreign race is more true.

Why are you nervous?In fact, it's those old sinful things.

Ten Thousand Beasts City is the only area among the six cities where population trading is legalized. After the six-city alliance was negotiated, the other five cities and at least the three-city alliance are constantly putting pressure on them, hoping that they will give up this evil business.

But Wanshou City is a tribal country composed of countless chiefs. Many tribes themselves rely on "war slaves" to make a living. Their targets are not only foreigners, but also many single people in other cities and even other tribes in Wanshou Their various civil wars and war games produce countless new slaves every year.

This is not only a matter of financial resources, but also a need to maintain the functioning of society. It is normal for a tribal chief to have a team of thousands of "servants". In the eyes of many Wanshouya people , "The strong protect the weak, and the weak serve as slaves to the strong" is a matter of course, and it is a basic social rule established at birth.

If the current boss (Great Chief) really agrees to Wucheng's request to completely outlaw slavery, even if it is just to outlaw "human" human trafficking, I am afraid that no matter how powerful he is, he will be overthrown immediately.

The alliance of six cities is the trend of the new era, which greatly strengthens the connection between the six cities and shortens the distance. But sometimes, the closer they are, the more unbearable the filth and smell of each other taste.

Thinking of the ten thousand beast battle groups in the legion, how about our new humans (noble orcs) one by one, and your old humans, Zheng Li was very angry.

"Sorry!! Did I squeeze you?"

The anger he showed and the psychic disturbance he caused frightened the people around him to apologize quickly, for fear that he would accidentally offend the military master.

These days, due to some reasons, the relationship between the army and the people has also deteriorated, especially some "outsiders" in military uniforms, especially the beastmen
Zheng Li also showed a wry smile, restrained his mood, and nodded to the other party to indicate that it was nothing. As long as he deliberately recalled other messy things in the legion, the overflowing spiritual energy would automatically return to calm.

To be honest, compared with the really bad things in the legion, the racism and private slavery of the orcs in the legion is really not a big deal.

"Don't think about it, don't think about it, what to do if you can't solve it, and make yourself blocked?"

The six cities that got closer brought countless new troubles, and the troubles of the Ten Thousand Beastmen really didn't rank in the top three. After all, most of the time they came here clearly.

"It's all you people from Shiqian who robbed us of our jobs. What are you so proud of? You are the weakest person in the bottom six cities in the central region. What kind of support is it? It's just to reap the benefits of us Gemini people."

Xinningping City and Xingping City are known as "Twin Cities", but now, the "ethnic concept" of "Twin People", which has only recently emerged, has also caused some headaches for the managers of the six cities.

Right in front of Zheng Li's eyes, the two of them huddled together, holding each other on the ground, biting, and punching hard. Judging by their attire, they seemed to be physical workers transporting goods.

There are a bunch of onlookers around, some familiar workers are cheering up, and some people are scolding each other. It seems that they may escalate into groups at any time. On the outside, there are a group of spectators. There are humans, foreigners, and even ghosts who are accustomed to promise .

After looking at it, he was sure that most people had only two blades, so no one would be killed. Zheng Li went around and called the police.

But he also knew that such things happened countless times a day, and even the police didn't bother to take care of them.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there are disputes.

In the eyes of many "outer city" people, without the support and blood transfusion of the five cities, there would be no prosperity in the current Twin Cities. For many "local residents", these outsiders are now greedy to rob their own wealth and job opportunities By.

In addition, there are all kinds of people in this city, at least a dozen groups who are trying to fuel the flames and instigate separatism, even their goals and political goals can be divided into dozens of types, and the gap between the people is obviously getting bigger and bigger.

Does the high-level officials of the cities care?They have managed it, and the official media is promoting the cooperation between the six cities every day, so how effective is it?

Because, the root of many conflicts is that it is impossible to deny the fact that the workers who have developed into gang fights, on the one hand, are "far-flung migrant workers" who have traveled thousands of miles to get high salaries, and on the other hand, they are local wage earners who have come here to earn a living.
When different ethnic groups compete for limited resources and living space, the clear division of "you, me, and others" is the basis for intensifying the scale of competition.

To be honest, Zheng Li has seen this kind of thing a lot, and the private fight within the Qiushou Legion is much more exciting than this one, especially in the No. Cough cough, this does not exist, how could there be infighting among soldiers.

In a sense, the six-city alliance has shortened the distance between humans in the central region, but it seems that this shortening has also brought huge side effects.

Maybe the "heads" of Liucheng are ready to unite, but the "body" and "siblings" all tell you clearly - "No, you are not ready yet".

This level of union is unprecedented in history, and the construction of the "Great Project" has also greatly increased the safety of travel between the three cities. That also means that the number of people from other cities that have poured in in this short period of time , It is also unprecedented in history, and it has caused a devastating impact on various local job markets and human resource markets.

For many local "Twin Cities people", they don't see the threat of foreigners, they only see people from other cities running in frantically, grabbing their jobs, and saying all kinds of discriminatory "" Digital Man Joke".

"Too fast, too fast"

Zheng Li looked up at the sky. There was no solution to the chaos brought about by the huge social changes. He could separate the workers who were in a mess, or even call in soldiers to lock them all in. Then they turned their heads and continued where they couldn't see, and even got together in the detention center.

Overly rapid prosperity has brought chaos, and the exclusion of locals has made outsiders more united. As Zheng Li knows, various "gangsters" and "freemasons" have also sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and there are a lot of messes in all walks of life Regarding things, the dock workers just broke out more straightforwardly and directly.

At this time, even the top executives of the Twin Cities regretted opening the door to import labor to the Five Cities due to lack of human resources. They really did not expect that the prosperity brought high wages, and when the wages more than doubled were returned to the original After entering the city, the labor force that came was more than ten times the expected number.

The nearest unbreakable ally?It's really close enough, but there are constant frictions in all aspects.

The deterioration of civil relations and even hostility have naturally affected higher-level places. Those local high-level sword masters also have to go home to eat and sleep. The high-level decision makers have no grievances at all when they see their people being angry every day. ?
Originally they were the closest allies, but because they were too close, they caused a series of problems. The relationship between Shiqian City and Twin Cities was not as good as it was three years ago. This is at least one-third of the reason for Zheng Li's resignation.

When the relationship between the two cities was good before, he, as a recognized star newcomer in the two cities, played the role of glue and became the top of the Qiushou Legion.

Now the relationship between the two sides has deteriorated. It's not that the high-level leaders of Shuangcheng have treated Zheng Li badly, but that various factions and political tendencies have naturally emerged within the Autumn Hunting Army, and many war groups and high-level officers have to make choices.

Zheng Li doesn't like politics, very much, but he knows he can't escape.

"Obviously I don't even have a quasi-myth. I'm just an insignificant soldier. Why do you keep staring at me?"

"After all, you were the most famous in your class. At least you used to be the most famous, and now you are also famous in the circle. Now I know why you have kept a low profile all these years. Bird has to make a statement, and a bunch of people are waiting to follow your decision at the same time."

"Zhao Yuzhen" regretted it a bit, and he just came here not long ago, and they all caught up with this shit.

In fact, he didn't have much choice at the beginning. He had a background in the military department of Shiqian, and his application to join the Autumn Hunting Corps was rejected immediately, and he directly enjoyed a whole set of exclusion. Civil War Corps".

As for Zheng Li, Shi Qian or the Twin Cities?Of course it's Shi Qian. Ahem, Zheng Like doesn't want to choose at all, how can he hang around here after rejecting the Twin Cities?Therefore, he chose to withdraw from the Autumn Hunting Army and return to the free civil war group.

Of course, it was impossible to make such a choice because of this reason alone. It was more because Zheng Li felt that the free war group was more suitable for the development of the current peace war group.

The specific reasons will not be revealed for the time being, but the current Zheng Li and the current Xingping City are probably completely different from three years ago.

Regarding these right and wrong, Zheng Li himself is quite open-minded, that is.
"Choose? What to choose? What is a weak chicken thinking about doing so far? They are all people who have experienced the battlefield of gods, and they don't know that words have a meaning. First, you have enough strength, and then your words have weight. I very much Simple, didn’t see anything, didn’t understand anything, behave honestly, level up and fight monsters honestly!”

Therefore, he easily persuaded the others in the war group to return to the civil freedom war group, relatively simple free hunters.

Now, after the meeting with the old comrades of the Legion and the gathering with the old friends in one day, he returned to his battle regiment station, which was also his home, on a slightly lighter drunken step.

"Yu Ying! I'm back, huh? Why are you all here?"

　What, two in one
