the last king of darkness

Chapter 289 Pain and Pleasure
Wangcheng Government Affairs Office.

This is the highest administrative center of Trorian, and consuls, big and small, are in charge of all affairs other than fighting.

They may seem insignificant, but they are actually the cornerstone of Trorian's existence.

Only a complete and powerful human society can afford so many strong human beings and super weapons of war.

Center Hall.

The two chief regents and 32 senior regents gathered together.

Everyone was in high spirits except for one who was slightly gloomy.

"It's too strong! Fanxing Town can be called a classic of operation and construction!"

"Lord Rhodes, as the defender and leader, deserves the first credit!"

"Fanxing Town has accommodated 90 people for us! The entire outer city has become better!"

"Not enough, not enough, Fanxing Town can accommodate another 100 million people!"

"Your news is behind! They laid down the Blackwater Swamp and the ruins of Ishorne, look at their area! It can accommodate another 300 million!"

With a bang, the whole hall seemed to be on fire, and everyone's eyes were red.

Especially the consuls of Wangcheng.

Because Fanxing Town has always accepted the residents of Wangcheng.

A senior consul shouted: "No! I protest! You are not fair, you can't just give the king city, other towns should also share the quota!"

"Yes, we are too crowded! The law and order has deteriorated, and the doomsday cultists are like cockroaches! Because of the lack of housing, thousands of people have died in Stone City!"

"So are we!"

Chief Executive Officer Mandalay raised his hands and said loudly: "Don't make noise, we will allocate quotas reasonably! Everyone has a share!"

Chief Executive Tallinas said slightly gloomily: "In that case, there will not be many quotas for each town."

A senior consul shouted: "Can there be more in Fanxing Town? We heard that they have opened up farmland, plantations, breeding lakes, and countless mines. Many poor people cannot find jobs in our place. And Star Town is full of jobs."

"That's right, isn't this the most reasonable distribution? An unstable factor that only consumes food has become a worker with output value!"

"This will skyrocket our performance this year! The overall order and stability factors will also be greatly improved! The total output value of Trorian will reach a new level."

Chief Executive Mandalay said with some embarrassment: "But Lord Rhodes said that 300 million people is the limit."

"How could it be the limit? Go talk to Lord Rhodes again!"

Chief Executive Mandalay regretted: "He refused!"

"How can this be done? Why did he refuse? Did you offend him?"

"Hurry up, let's repair the relationship, it's related to our performance this year!"

"What does Lord Rhodes like?"

"It is said that he likes beautiful women."

"It's...it's that simple? I'll give away one hundred first! It doesn't need to be much, just give me one hundred thousand places."

"Hey, look at how poor you are, who is Lord Rhodes? If I'm not a man, I wish I could give it away for nothing. I'll send one thousand, and give me one hundred thousand places."

"I'll send 1!"

"I send……"

"To shut up!"

Chief Executive Mandalay gave a loud shout, suppressing the sound of the tide.

"Do you think Mr. Rhodes is a boar? Give it away, as if it is your property. When you go back to the city and call, others will give you money. You can take everything inside and out. You guys have a good idea!"

All the consuls were punctured, and they all blushed.

Judging from Rhodes' current achievements and status, becoming his partner is simply a dream. If you have this channel, you can sell a spot for [-] silver cords.

If 1 can be sent out, it will be [-] million silver ropes.

Of course, the business died before it even started.

"What now?"

a senior consul asked cautiously.

"The problem of living space has become our number one problem. We don't have enough phlogiston, we don't have enough houses, we don't have enough lamps, we don't have enough jobs, we don't have enough. Fanxing Town has an obligation to accommodate more."

Another high-ranking consul suddenly asked: "What's going on with the Star City? Hasn't the Conquest Legion captured it yet?"

Chief Constable Mandalay replied: "No, they are still fighting the darkness of the underground."

"What the hell is Legion Commander Lord Lockhart doing?" A high-ranking consul couldn't help complaining: "The Star City has been fighting for almost half a year, and it is still uninhabitable? How did you say it?"

"Why is Lord Lockhart such a rubbish? This person is really incomparable with others, it is better to let Lord Rhodes do it."

"Yes! I agree!"

"We're going to propose to the Supreme Council now!"

"To shut up!"

Chief Executive Officer Mandalay shouted: "Can you intervene in the appointment of the head of the legion? Don't give me too much nonsense, now there are 300 million places, and you can divide them yourself!"

"Anyway, I don't want my old face anymore. I went to Fanxing Town to find Master Rhodes. I knelt down and begged for another 100 million! No matter how many Fanxing Towns are blown up, everyone can't finish it!"

He flicked his sleeves and went out.

Leaving everyone staring at each other.

After a moment of silence, they suddenly realized that the 300 million red quotas were right in front of them.

For a moment, everyone's breathing became heavy.

After a while, there was a commotion in the hall.

The consuls are in harmony, never have they been so close.

-

Fanxing Town.

The upper lobby of the administration hall.

This is Rhode's exclusive office. The spacious room is filled with classical decorations from the 500-year-old Starry Kingdom. The strong historical atmosphere makes everyone who enters here breathless.

In the center of the room was a heavy mahogany table, and Rhodes sat in the big chair, feeling very embarrassed.

Chief Executive Officer Mandalay was sitting in front of him, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were full of pleading expressions.

"This, Lord Mandalay, it's not that I don't help..."

Mandalay jumped up: "I have six granddaughters, and they all admire..."

"OK OK!"

Rhode stopped him immediately.

"Listen to me, there are now 90 people in Fanxing Town, and with another 400 million people, this town will have close to 500 million people."

"Five million people are not many... I calculated that the area of ​​Fanxing Township plus the surrounding area has exceeded 500 square yards. On average, 1000 people live in one square yard, which is not a problem at all."

Rhodes sighed: "Mr. Mandalay, you need to know that part of the land is mines, cultivated land, botanical gardens and aquaculture areas, and part of it is used to build fortifications."

But Mandalay was clearly prepared.

"Master Rhodes, don't forget about the dungeon to the east. After installing the psychic automatic elevator you invented, it can accommodate 50 people."

Rhodes frowned and said, "The depressing and cramped environment is not suitable for long-term living."

Mandalay smiled: "Master Rhodes, this is where you lack experience. The environment of the dungeon will give people an unprecedented sense of security. Believe me, many residents like this environment very much."

Rhodes is very painful. It's not that he doesn't want to accept it, but now he has a lot of troubles, and the little brother can't stand it.

"Mr. Mandalay, civilians cannot rely solely on me for relief. They must have jobs."

"At present, there are only two mines in my hands, the super-large true silver vein under Fanxing Town, and the star ruby ​​vein under the Blackwater Swamp. The 60 miners are already at full capacity."

"Ghost Lake and Blackwater Swamp can only accommodate 30 farmers and breeding workers, plus hundreds of thousands of construction workers and related derivative industries, feeding three to four million people is already the limit. become beggars and whores."

Mandalay frowned, and Rhodes' words came to a critical point.

But as the chief executive officer, he still has many ways.

"It doesn't matter, I can arrange for Mansis Workshop and Byron Alchemy Pharmaceutical Factory to open new workshops in Fanxing Town."

Rhodes shook his head: "Not enough."

Mandalay made another move: "I have six granddaughters..."

Rhodes said lightly: "Miss Qingyu forbids me to find another partner."

Mandalay choked.

In fact, everyone ignored his intended partnership with Qingyu, because it was obviously inappropriate.

But if Rhode insists, others have no right to interfere.

Rhodes brought up this reason, but he really couldn't refute it, so he had to use a bigger big move, flying up and kneeling and hugging his thigh.

No matter how much Rhodes shook him off, he couldn't get rid of it. A person who was old enough to be his grandfather hugged his thigh and knelt in front of him, which was really unbearable.

In the end, Rhodes could only let out a long sigh.

"Okay, okay, I promise! Get up quickly!"

Mandalay said ecstatically: "I know you are a great human hero, do you want to consider my six granddaughters..."

"If you don't leave, I will regret it!"

Mandalay is running at the speed of light.

Rhodes was left watching the countless affairs in front of him with a sad face.

Things have been like this since taking the Blackwater Marsh and the Ruins of Ithorn one day.

With no need to fight anymore, Rhodes was forced to start fulfilling his duties as defender and mayor of Starry Town.

In the rapidly expanding Fanxing Town, countless events occur all the time.

The cleaning and construction of the four surrounding areas, the construction of fortifications, the expansion of Fanxing Town, the excavation of sewers, the establishment of water supply systems, the mining of new veins, and so on.

Rhode's head had grown innumerable circles, and he originally wanted to practice Star Shuttle, sort out his harvest, and clean up his dreams.

As a result, there was no time at all.

Every day is buried in work, one job after another that he regards as a nightmare.

But everyone thinks this is what he is best at.

Please, I didn't do it because it hurt too much to watch Molly that day!

But Rhodes has been racked up.

If he doesn't do a good job, Molly will think that he is passive and sabotage, and will come to him to "satisfy needs" even more.

Speaking of this.

This is the most distressing thing for Rhodes recently.

Molly didn't know how to do it. After the guess that the post would be upgraded failed, she seemed to have another guess:
As long as Rhode's needs are met and he doesn't think about women, he will work hard. If he doesn't work hard, then he is thinking about women, and she will come to "satisfy his needs."

The reason why Molly made this judgment is also based on the following facts.

After their first night.

Rhode's strength exploded (this guess has been crossed out), and his temperament suddenly changed the next day. He changed his previous negative image, worked hard, worked hard, and the work results were perfect.

After the second night.

Rhodes performed a miracle and flattened the Blackwater Marsh and the ruins of Ithorne in one day.

So logically, based on the above facts, if you spend the night with Rhodes, he will stimulate his potential, work hard, and create miracles.

Throwing away invalid information, the key points extracted are:

"Wring Rhodes dry, and he'll do everything he can."

So, in the past few days, they have not only stayed overnight in the room, they have been here on almost all occasions.

Rhodes was really overwhelmed, and had to rack his brains to deal with these very troublesome tasks.

The Book of Knowledge has been annoyed to death by his questions. It is not very happy, thinking that Rhodes is not doing his job properly, dealing with these chores every day, but trying to increase his strength.

Rhodes couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to use the dreamland to be safer now, and the development of Fanxing Town was for more divinity as an excuse to prevaricate it.

The Book of Knowledge reluctantly accepted his explanation, and tried its best to answer his questions. If it could use its own knowledge to give an answer, it would never use its soul characteristics to obtain it.

After all, this is its owner.

Although weird, ignorant and weak, there are some strong signs now.

However, this also made Molly more determined in her mind. If she didn't change eighteen postures a day, she would feel that her work was not satisfactory.

In this way, Rhodes was in pain and happiness, and time passed by.
