I rely on cards to build infrastructure

Xia Heng took a step back abruptly like a conditioned reflex, so that the tragic collision with Old Chester did not happen.

"I received it, but they are behind and it will take a few days to reach Altin." Xia Heng explained aloud.

Hearing this answer, Old Chester was very satisfied.

He stroked his snow-white beard, and when he was about to pat Xia Heng on the shoulder to express his gratitude, Gris' big face bumped into his eyes.

Of course, there are a lot of people behind.

They all stood quietly not far behind Xia Heng, acting as a background board with a strong professional ethics.

Old Chester stretched out half of his hand, and suddenly froze in the air.

An awkward atmosphere spread among the crowd.

For Old Chester, who was the burden of an idol and was forced to go offline at the death scene, and for those people in Corey's own think tank...they were crazily reducing their sense of existence, hypnotizing themselves without seeing anything.

You must know that Old Chester helped them a lot when resisting the attack of Warcraft.

In the war, except for some low-end weapons of the "Xiaheng version" provided by Lu Li and others, the remaining weapons were sponsored by Old Chester himself, and used his meager strength for the defense of the city.

They kind of respect the elders who have made selfless contributions, so when such an embarrassing situation happens, everyone tacitly shuts their mouths.

Of course, exceptions are inevitable.

"Huh? Is grandma coming back?!" Gris's eyes lit up, and his fiery eyes kept staring at Xia Heng for confirmation.

He even unceremoniously exposed Old Chester's background, so that the colleagues behind him had to work harder to reduce their sense of existence.

"Grandpa, this time when grandma comes back, don't quarrel with her on the question of 'sweet or salty rice dumplings and bean curd'. You are so old, why are you still like the two old children?"

Old Chester: "..."

Rebellious grandson!

Who told you to expose my background in front of so many people!

Xia Heng was also silent for a while. After learning that the reason why Natalie went to the city that never sleeps was because of the problem of 'sweet and salty rice dumplings' and 'sweet and salty bean curd', she fell into a deep entanglement.

Is he self-inflicted?

If he had known that Chester's wife was a top rune master, and knew that this thing would trigger a 'husband and wife war', and then let go of his anger, causing so many things to happen later, he would have resolutely removed zongzi and bean curd from the gift list back then. row out.Even if you give it away, you shouldn't cram all four flavors into it.

He can accept all four tastes.

Therefore, he really didn't expect that Zongzi Douhua, which would trigger the "Sweet and Salty War" and the "Civil War" as soon as it was mentioned in the previous life, is equally destructive in this world.

"Hey, well, Gris, let's get down to business first."

Xia Heng coughed lightly, breaking the current awkward atmosphere.

He called Sullivan to entertain Old Chester, and then led a large group of people to their office.

Sitting in the office she hadn't seen for a long time, Xia Heng rarely relaxed and threw herself into the swivel chair behind the workbench.

He stretched a lot, then propped his hands on the workbench with his chin in his hands, and began to think about the various plans ahead.

The temperature in the freezing season is comparable to that in the city that never sleeps.If he hadn't seen many buildings he was familiar with, he would have no doubt that he was in a small town under the city that never sleeps.

Moreover, because of the war, Ordin suffered a serious population loss.It seems... It's time for him to open up applications for admission to the city.

****

"How many people are registered in Altin now?" Xia Heng knocked on the table and asked about Xia Feng's specific situation.

"Less than two thousand."

Xia Feng's expression was a little unnatural, but it's not an exaggeration to have such a reaction when the population is reduced by half.

"Only a quarter of the people died in the battle, and the rest left voluntarily or were forcibly expelled. I stayed with those who couldn't make it back from the mission, but I didn't count points for them." Xia Feng quickly added .

"Half of the people stick to it...not bad."

The remaining number far exceeds his overdue limit, and he originally thought that there would only be more than 1000 people left, or even less.Unexpectedly, there were more than 2000 left, which was a surprise.

"For counting points...has the point system in the city been implemented?"

"Everything has been arranged, but it's stuck on the issue of recording. No one understands this, you have to do it yourself." Xia Feng spread his hands, saying that they really care about the storage devices and scanning identities that Xia Heng got out Documentation stuff, powerless.

"This is not a problem." Xia Heng waved his hand, indicating that this is a trivial matter, which can be easily resolved, "How many applications have you made to enter the city recently?"

Xia Feng choked, and looked at him with the eyes of a fool, "A while ago, Altin was about to die, and it was too late to run, how could someone submit an application for entering the city, isn't this a fool?!"

"Let's not talk about this first." Xia Feng raised his index finger and pointed upwards to the sky, "How long can you last for this thing you made?"

"A simple defense can last for about a year. If it is an attack, it depends on the situation."

"That's okay, this consumption can be afforded by Altin's current income and expenditure."

"At present, the most important thing is to expel the monsters. Altin is a transportation hub, but the surrounding cities can be used as transit areas. After the monsters attacked the city, the flow of people in Ordin plummeted, barely reaching 1/10 of the previous level. We have to find a way Spread the news of Altin's recovery."

"..."

Xia Heng and Xia Feng made arrangements for Ortin's post-war recovery, urban management, and future development. However, due to the war, Ortin's GDP returned to before liberation. It was worse than before Xia Heng came to the fiefdom.

In Xia Feng's words, if they hadn't relied on gourmet stores, selling weapons, and selling blank stored cards before, they would definitely not be able to hold on to Xia Heng's return.

After all, fighting a war is a waste of money. Almost all of Altin's net worth was spent on buying raw materials for repairing the city wall.And this is the result of their sufficient food reserves, and the sponsorship of Janice and other young apprentices of Xia Heng who do not need to spend extra money on food, otherwise the current Altin will either be breached or turned into a refugee camp.

Two days later, after discovering that the fifth wave of monsters had not appeared for a long time, the few bad-mouthers among the city residents finally subsided.

Around Jiange 2 to 6, Sullivan also added random teleportation arrays. Although he knew that the city residents would not touch these things, it was always right to protect them. Some monsters and monsters might appear one day.

At this time, the inner edge of the isolation zone was surrounded by the city residents, and everyone had the pleasure of getting revenge and an unconcealable joy on their faces.

The things they held in their hands were different - staves, long swords, long branches, and even brooms and mops, but they all made one movement and stretched them out of the isolation zone.

There are all kinds of strange food stuck on these utensils, floating above the heads of those monsters, dangling around.

The monsters below also stopped attacking the barrier, and jumped to grab the food above their heads.

However, the citizens of Ordin, who were almost wiped out by the monsters, naturally couldn't share their food so kindly.So Xia Heng improvised this 'Fishing Contest', which became the only event in his life where 100% of the city residents participated.

"The City Lord's Mansion was emptied?"

Xia Heng pointed to the 'Temporary Points Exchange Office', which was full of magical beasts that were caught and killed by the city residents, and the personnel in charge of the finances of the City Lord's Mansion are currently registering data there.

The corner of Xia Feng's mouth twitched, and only then did he understand why Xia Heng didn't activate the Jiange's attack mode.

Energy consumption is a trivial matter, but blowing these monsters to the point of making no money is a major matter.

If so many magical beasts are sold... Good guy, just thinking about it, you know that this is a huge sum of money, which completely fills in the financial loopholes of the city lord's mansion caused by occupying the city.

And this guy also came up with the so-called wartime point system.

As for the monsters caught, you can keep them for yourself, but if you want to exchange them for points, you can only exchange them for temporary points, which will be voided immediately after the deadline, which is different from the permanent valid honor points.

Honor points are used to measure the contribution of residents, not the amount, but the ranking.Wartime points are used to exchange things, like the weapons Xia Heng built, as long as you have enough points, you can exchange them for as many as you want.

As a result, the citizens of Altin, who heard the news, fell into a state of frenzy. Some particularly hard-working guys even set up tents inside the isolation zone, and spent the rest of their time except eating and sleeping. fishing.

"Master City Lord! Representatives from Otto City and several surrounding cities came here, saying that they want to congratulate Ordin on his narrow escape."

The expression on Alves' face was as if he was eating something, it was very distorted and disgusting.

Before Xia Heng could reply this time, Xia Feng was the first to jump in anger.

"Come to send congratulations?! I'll go to their mother-in-law, fourth uncle and grandma! At the beginning, I sent people to borrow troops to push this and that, making excuses for this and that for excuses, now come to post the aftermath?!"

"I knew they were unreliable. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't hold on at that time, who the hell would go back and talk to them. Seeing Altin get up again to show his kindness, they are dreaming!"

As expected, Xia Feng's sudden outburst attracted the attention of some townspeople, and his words were naturally heard clearly by the townspeople not far away.

For a moment, the expressions on the faces of those city residents who knew what to order also changed from excited to the same style as Alves.

Xia Heng didn't speak, and frowned slightly, analyzing Xia Feng's words.

So Xia Feng went to the nearby city for rescue, but he didn't get help, and he seemed to be ridiculed.

Now that the crisis is over, they have made such a big noise on their side, so they can't sit still on their side.Come to congratulate is false, come to investigate the actual situation is true.

After all, if Altin returns to its former prosperity, those adventurers who go to their city for transit will obviously say goodbye to them.

Xia Heng simply went through his mind, combined with what he saw and heard on the way out, and finally deduced two possibilities.

Or, these people are here to step on.Or, under the guise of helping Altin rebuild, come here to collect wool.

In short, the purpose will never be simple.

But it's a good thing if the purpose is not pure, otherwise he would be ashamed to exploit these cities~~
