Infrastructure Throne

[The player gets a part of the prestige bonus, and gains loyalty and favorability from Sierra. 】

Having tricked Sera into joining the group, Shen Qingze's great cause of building a city has added another small puzzle piece.

Sierra 366's comprehension is the highest Shen Qingze has seen so far, and he will not be disappointed.

Basic medicine, basic chemistry, can be used everywhere.Abyssal City is a shitty place, and there is nothing else it needs, except that there are a lot of by-products of mining. Now that there is a large amount of start-up funds, it is safe to go back to the entire alchemy laboratory.

Shen Qingze stroked the topographic resource map near Yuanliu City with his fingers, and highlighted a few marks on it, thinking about the bright future, the corners of his mouth curled into a happy arc.

In the dead of night, Abaituan closed his eyes and took a nap on the soft bed beside him. The duck lay on its stomach, drooling in sleep.

Shen Qingze called out the system store, 2 gold coins have been used as public funds, which is displayed in the system balance of the main city, and his small treasury has obtained an interest of 200 gold coins, and the public funds and the small treasury can also be transferred to each other.

The side mission also gave 100 amethysts, which would be too wasteful to buy appearance skins. After thinking about it, he decided to save it first and change to a set of rare golden quality suits later.

But gold coins, it’s okay to be extravagant first, right?

What if the healing potion runs out?Buy buy buy!

Ordinary healing medicine, which can eliminate ordinary negative states, is priced at 20 gold coins, and the purchase limit is 2 per month.

Advanced healing potion, which can quickly recover from serious injuries and dying, costs 500 gold coins, and the player's current level is too low to buy.

Shen Qingze scolded the system profiteer expressionlessly, and simply paid 40 gold coins, and got two more healing potions.

Really fragrant!

He walked down the commodity column, and the livestock column added cattle, sheep, horses, and even bees and other common livestock breeding. There are no sheep that specialize in wool production for the time being. According to the information provided by Black Eagle, he has to make a special trip to A trip to the land of the shepherd orcs in exchange for sheep.

In addition, there are some economic crop tree species, and we will make plans to reclaim more fertile land in the spring of the coming year.

Shen Qingze scrolled down ten lines at a glance, and finally stayed in the special item column:

The battle pet upgrades the energy core and feeds the battle pet, which can accelerate the growth progress of the battle pet and improve the attributes of the battle pet.Ordinary energy cores are priced at 10 gold coins, and the purchase limit is 2 per day; advanced energy cores have not yet been unlocked.

Shen Qingze raised his eyebrows, it's no wonder that ducks and ducks have hardly changed, they all look like little yellow chickens, so they ate something wrong...

Spending 20 gold coins, I got two energy cores the size of quail eggs.He turned his face and glanced at the two pets, and keeping pets was indeed a bottomless pit.

Continue to browse down:

The attribute enhancement energy core can improve a single attribute in the player's five dimensions.

Ordinary type, which improves a small amount of attributes, and the price is 500 gold coins, and the purchase limit is one per day; the advanced type has not been unlocked yet.

The lottery ticket is used for the lucky draw in the secret treasure house, and the price of a ticket is 1 gold coins.

...Why doesn't the system grab it!

The corner of Shen Qingze's mouth twitched, and he immediately closed the system store, out of sight.

The 2 gold coins on hand seem to be rich, except for the support of the family, and the next step is to open a new workshop, build ships, train sailors, build an alchemy laboratory, upgrade the main city construction system, and strengthen city defense. , to create new weapons and equipment for the guards...

After all, there is a whole city waiting to be fed, and he is not allowed to spend money casually.

The dream of spending money is shattered!

Duck Yaya was awakened by the sound of eating. It blinked its black bean eyes and saw that Abai was biting a round egg, eating small mouthfuls happily.

Shen Qingze squatted in front of it, held another energy core in his palm, sent it to the duck's mouth, and said silently: "Hurry up and eat the duck, 10 gold coins, if there is a little waste, I will pull you out." duck feathers."

Duck: "..."

Shen Qingze carefully observed the changes of the two pets.

Yaya swallowed the last bite, shaking its head slowly as if drunk, and landed on Abai's belly. Its soft fur grew longer and brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its beak became more slender and harder.

Ah Bai didn't see any obvious changes, perhaps because he ate too little.

Shen Qingze stroked the heads of the two little guys, and silently said good night.

Early the next morning, Yaya got up from Ah Bai's stomach, stretched its wings and stretched its waist, and suddenly found a ribbon around its neck—a green bow, which made its yellow fur glow green.

Yaya: "Chirp!!!"

In the early morning, the twilight of the morning sun illuminated the crowds going to and from the market.

It was late autumn, and the phoenix trees on both sides of Mingzhu Avenue were dyed yellow by the cold wind. They accidentally fell from the branches, floated down in a whirl, and were hurriedly crushed by pedestrians.

Early in the morning, Jin Da and Ayers took people to the pier to hand over the goods and food to the envoys sent by the Black Eagle. The food in the two big boats piled up into mountains, and when dumped, they could bury the group of people alive.

There were also several large boxes of golden gold coins, all of which were newly minted, and the shining golden light almost blinded everyone's eyes.

Jin Da couldn't help but think, this way of dying is probably the happiest in the world.

According to the information given by Black Eagle, Shen Qingze carefully studied the map near Pearl City, the grassland where the shepherd orcs lived was about ten kilometers southeast of Pearl City near the foot of the mountain.

They took a boat from the east pier and went down the river. There was a small fishing village downstream, and the pier of the fishing village was barely enough for the boat to dock.

A group of people can spend the night in the fishing village, and after Shen Qingze finds the shepherd orc and exchanges them for sheep and wool, they will continue to return to Yuanliu City by boat.

But Yan Zui has another task.

"Have your people found out the address of the ore smuggling transaction?"

Shen Qingze sat in the cabin on the second floor. After all, it was a cargo ship, the cabin seemed very small and cramped, the cabin bedroom was only big enough for a bed, and a set of tables and chairs.

The quilts on the bed were new, and the tea sets on the table were brand new glazed pottery, but the air was filled with a damp smell all the year round, and even the carpet and cushions were damp and cold.

Unlike the big ships and giant wheels that walked on flat ground in the previous life, the two "big ships" presented by Tia can clearly feel the emptiness and dizziness of the undulating river water when stepping on the deck.

"That's right. The last time I searched the list from Fu Tan's room, there are several people who belong to the Yan Iron Officer Berg. In a few days, it will be the day of their regular transaction."

Yan Zui fiddled with the bamboo and wood duckling's bow, and the duckling was wearing a green one of the same style, squatting aside and sulking.

Shen Qingze rested his cheek with one hand, and stretched out a finger to poke the duck's head: "In this case, let's move separately. I will let the fleet anchor at the pier of the small fishing village. I will go to find the shepherd orc. You take the man To catch the smugglers, we will meet at the pier of the fishing village."

Yan Zui frowned slightly: "Insufficient manpower, the newly opened Yuanliu Ginza needs to be managed by Teng Er and the others, and they cannot go back with us."

"You don't have many escorts, you have such a large amount of money and food, and the fishing village is far away from Mingzhu City, what if you are targeted by bandits?

"Even if there are no bandits, that Lot must suspect that we have played tricks in his workshop, and now we are cooperating with the deadly enemy. Maybe he will send someone to retaliate. The fleet needs guards to stay behind for protection."

Shen Qingze looked up at him: "Then what should you do? Could it be that you single-handedly caught the smugglers? Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and the opponent has a lot of people..."

You didn't hang up again.

Yan Zui blinked: "Master Officiant cares about me so much?"

Shen Qingze stopped talking and just looked at him.

Yan Zui: "Speaking of which, at the auction that time, why did everyone else seem to be intimidated by you and dare not move? I don't feel it."

Shen Qingze raised an eyebrow: "That's my martial skill. When I pull you, you are like a part of my body..."

"What?" Yan Zui's handsome face instantly magnified in Shen Qingze's pupils.

He silently swallowed the word "partial" back: "Nothing."

"Oops." Yan Zui leaned back on the chair back, poking the vermilion beak of the bamboo and wood duck lightly with his slender fingertips.

"Why do you think your duck's mouth is so hard?"

Shen Qingze suddenly felt connoted.

With hands that had no place to rest, he had no choice but to hold the teacup, coughed lightly, and said, "Don't worry, you just take everyone away, and someone will protect me, as well as this batch of money and food."

"Who?"

Shen Qingze gently blew on the green floating leaves on the surface of the tea, lowered his head and took a sip, his drooping eyelashes cast a small shadow.

Yan Zui looked at the corners of his mouth slightly twitching, and knew that this guy had started to have some bad idea in his mind again.

※※※

The mansion of Lord Lott.

A few candles in the study were extinguished, and no servant dared to come in to refuel.

"You mean, this weapon dealer named Shen Qingze is actually the new priest of Yuanliu City?" Lott sat in the high-backed chair, looking down at Futan who was kneeling at his feet.

"Also, in the past few months, the number of iron and coal mines coming from Yuanliu City has decreased by more than half... Is it because of this person?"

"You also said that this surnamed Shen has hooked up with my sick brother, bought and sold a large amount of weapons, and said that his illness can be cured?"

Lott's voice became colder and colder. Fortan wiped the sweat from his brow with a handkerchief, nodded and said:

"...The news from the private mine informant in Yuanliu City is like this."

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the extremely quiet study room!

Futan, with his head down, was smashed to the ground by the cups of books that swept across the table.

He was startled, his forehead was bleeding, and he didn't dare to reach out to touch it. He shrank himself, trying to reduce his sense of existence, so as not to let his enraged master vent his anger on him.

In the mess all over the floor, Lot walked around angrily, and the snakeskin whip in his hand smashed the tea set on the ground to pieces, still unable to let go of his hatred.

"How do you act as a manager?! I think you are impatient?!"

Futan was almost prostrate on the ground, his skin was torn apart by the whip, and he didn't dare to move. He just kept grabbing the ground with his head: "Master, give me another chance! I will find a way to vent this anger for you!"

※※※

According to Shen Qingze's plan, after everything in the store was on the established track, the caravan and his party finally embarked on the return journey, trying to rush back to Yuanliu City before winter.

Except for Jin Da, most of the accompanying guards stayed by Yan Zui's side temporarily, watching Fu Tan in the smelting workshop day and night, waiting for him to meet with the smuggling informant.

"Master City Lord! He discovered Futan's change! He led people out through the east gate and headed south just now. Our people will follow behind, please give instructions from Lord City Master!"

Panting heavily, Teng Er ran to report to Yan Zui himself.

His lord of the city took off the cloak that concealed people's eyes and ears, and put on the black and gold military uniform he was accustomed to wearing. He stepped on the stirrups and turned on the horse neatly.

Teng Er understood that this was about to start action!

He excitedly commanded the others to prepare for a big fight, everything has been arranged properly, just wait for the city lord to give an order, and they will be able to wipe out this group of damn moths!

Suddenly a hand was stretched out in front of him, holding a little duck tied with a red ribbon bow in the palm.

Yan Zui tilted his head and asked, "Does it look good?"

Teng Er was stunned for a moment, then stammered: "It's pretty good..."

Yan Zui was satisfied, and slowly took the duck back: "I won't give it to you if it looks good."

Teng Er: "..."

He didn't want to either!

"Let's go!" Yan Zui waved his whip, and the steed let out a cry and galloped away with him.

Seeing that Teng Er was still in a daze, a guard next to him whispered into his ear: "You are the last one to come. This morning, the city lord asked everyone in the guards, everyone is going crazy... "

Teng Er: "..."

The author has something to say: Shen: My childishness!

Yan: Mysterious aesthetics!
