Arknights is too real, right?

The breeze is gentle and the sunshine is warm.

On this day, the world was so peaceful that one wanted to roll around on a pillow.

In front of the barbecue restaurant, Ergou got a sugar cane from nowhere and danced like a monkey.

"Hey, hey, haha, look at the gun!"

Xia Feng was still lying on his rocking chair, not at all interested in Ergou's poor performance.

In the eyes of Xia Feng, Hongdao and Lapland, Ergou is like a lame chicken. Even the tolerant ACE brother thinks that this child has no martial arts talent. But as the saying goes, everyone has their own preferences, he Still has his audience.

Ergou did a somersault with the sugar cane, and because the movement was too big, one of his slippers flew away.

"The flying dragon is in the sky!"

Turtle and Lily next to them immediately started shouting.

"Ergou is so awesome!"

After picking up the slippers, Ergou was panting from exhaustion. He weighed the sugar cane in his hand.

"Okay, let's eat it now."

Turtle said blankly.

"Isn't this a stick? How can I eat it?"

"This is sugar cane, it's meant to be eaten."

"sugar cane?"

It seemed that Guigui had never seen sugar cane. Ergou handed the end of the sugar cane to her and wiped the dust on it with his hand.

"Lick it."

Looking at the dirty part, Turtle frowned.

"Hey~ I won't lick it."

"Whatever is not dirty is just dirt. You will know after licking it."

Seeing that Ergou was serious, Guigui tentatively stuck out her tongue and gently licked the cut end of the sugar cane. When she tasted the taste of the sugar cane, her little eyes suddenly widened.

"So sweet!"

Seeing her look, Ergou immediately knew how you would react like this, and Lily next to her also explained aloud.

"Guigui, sugar cane contains a lot of sugar, so it tastes very sweet. Sugar has always been a very rare thing in the world. I have learned this knowledge in school. Guigui, you haven't been to school, so it's normal that you don't know."

Turtle couldn't wait any longer.

"It's so sweet. I want to eat it. Cut it open quickly."

Ergou fiddled with it.

"You have to use a knife to peel off the skin before you can eat the juice inside. We don't have a knife now."

"I have it, wait."

Turtle turned around and ran back into the barbecue restaurant.

Xia Feng lazily turned over in the rocking chair, thinking that children just like to make fuss and get so excited about a broken sugar cane, but this is normal. He thought that he had given Gui Gui a sip of Wangzai milk. She could faint with happiness.

After a while, the turtle ran out from inside.

"The knife is here."

"Give me."

Ergou took the knife and began to peel the sugarcane skin unfamiliarly, and the sound of "shuashuashua" came out immediately.

"This kind of skin is difficult to peel, but fortunately this knife is fast and light."

"Hey, Dafengche brought this back from outside."

Hearing this, Xia Feng sat up from the rocking chair like a conditioned reflex. When he saw the silver-white short knife in Ergou's hand, he immediately shouted loudly.

"Fuck, don't use my Shenyue knife to cut sugar cane!"

Xia Feng walked over angrily and snatched the Shenyue Sword back.

"You naughty kids, this knife contains the energy of the Origin Stone. If you eat it, you will die."

Ergou laughed, as if he understood.

"Haha, Lao Xia, you are so uneducated. Ordinary people who come into contact with Source Stone substances will not die, but will only have a chance of becoming infected. You don't know this. You haven't gone to school."

Ergou looked very much in need of a beating. When the words "infected" came out of his mouth, his taste immediately changed, just like a cold.

"You're not allowed to use my knife to cut sugar cane anyway."

Turtle pouted helplessly.

"What should I do? I want to eat sugar cane."

Xia Feng turned his head.

"Red Knife, help these guys sharpen it."

"oh."

There was a flash of swords and swords. Before Ergou could react, the sugar cane in his hand had been cut into three pieces, and all the skin on it fell off. "Ding", the long sword was sheathed, and the red sword sat back on the steps in a daze.

Xia Feng returned to the rocking chair, and Turtle squatted next to him like a hamster, chewing sugar cane.

Looking at the sky with the sun shining high, there are only two words in my mind, leisurely.

Several days have passed since the operation in Notting City, and everything is basically on track.

After Nancy and Reddy worked overtime these days, the financial situation of the Notting City Chamber of Commerce has been completed.

This old guy, Fredo, is very smart, including the boss of seven city districts. Except for the funds for the normal operation of the Chamber of Commerce, most of the money has been transferred to private property. Now that there is no evidence of death, the money may rot in the bank.

However, such a huge chamber of commerce still has financial background. When Xia Feng saw the large string of zeros reported by Nancy, his eyes narrowed to a slit. He was now a veritable billionaire. A millionaire.

However, happiness is always short-lived. He only became a billionaire for less than a day because the Chamber of Commerce's overall losses needed to be compensated, especially in terms of personnel. The money was immediately used by Nanfeng in various industries.

Re-recruiting troops, restoring transportation capacity, and contacting new smuggling channels. Because of his unfamiliarity with the business, Nanfeng estimated that he would only lose money in the past month.

This kind of thing needs to be done slowly. Building a country and stabilizing it are two different things. Now the links between Notting City and peripheral cities have been cut off. This will reduce the overall interests by at least half. Protection fees or franchise fees are all insignificant, including the previous ones. The amount owed is nowhere to be found.

All in all, it starts all over again.

Heiyu has many development plans next. Similarly, each plan is very complicated and cannot be completed in a day or two. Because of this, Xia Feng is in a difficult choice.

He thought about it for a moment, and what he needed to do next was roughly the following.

The first plan is to form a negotiation team to take back all the cities outside Notting City. Of course, Xia Feng does not think that this kind of thing can be solved by sitting down and drinking tea. Just like Nanfeng said before, When announcing something, he hopes that everyone can lie on the ground and listen, so that they can hear clearly. Therefore, this negotiating team will be very violent.

Judging from Black Feather's current strength, this kind of thing does not require all personnel to be dispatched. Xia Feng decided to send Franka, Razer, Red Knife, and Lapland to assist Nanfeng in the task of city hunter. , if you encounter something that cannot be solved during the process, let Ifrit go over and blow him up.

For the second plan, he needs to set up the Origin Stone business.

Different from Fredo's previous idea, what he wanted was not just to smuggle Origin Stones, but to establish a complete Origin Stone industry chain, which included the natural disaster action team to obtain the natural Origin Stone clusters, and his own Origin Stone processing plant to process the Source Stones. The stone clusters were transformed into S-level to pure source stones, and then smuggled out for export.

People need to have dreams, and the name gangster doesn't suit him. What he really wants to be is the largest Originium giant in the world besides the governments of various countries.

Of course, this dream is 10,000 times more difficult than killing Foley. Equipment and source materials can be bought with money, and source stones can be snatched with fists. However, processing this kind of thing is simply not feasible without professionals. This requires long-term thinking.

Finally, there is one more thing he needs to do before realizing the Origin Stone industry chain, which is the third plan.

He used to be the boss of Happy City, but now Fredo has been kicked away by him. Although he is not yet the true king of the south, he is already the Jade Emperor in the three-acre area from Notting City to Happy City. .

There is a piece of cake that does not belong to him in his territory. This is unreasonable and needs to be corrected.

This piece of cake refers to the Liye family's light manganese mining area.
