I rely on cards to build infrastructure

Ten years later.

A vehicle that no one in the world has ever seen is driving on the remote border of Orting.

This is one of the most marginal territories of the Sunset Empire. The land is barren, the economy is backward, and the overall level of residents of various occupations is not high. There are even several famines every three and five days, and they are robbed by wild monsters and monsters.

However, this place is the birthplace of the blank cards of the Sunset Empire. Almost all large-scale card mines are concentrated within the city limits of Altin City. 90% of the blank cards in circulation in the empire come from Altin City. , Exporting cards is the most important channel to maintain the city's economy.

Probably the only good thing about Altin City is its location.

Although it belongs to the border of the Sunset Empire, it is the transportation hub of several countries.

According to common sense, the location of a normal transportation hub should be the most prosperous area.But for some reason, Ordin City couldn’t develop even if it was dead or alive, and the caravans or adventurers who came and went just passed by in a hurry, and wouldn’t stay here too much.

When this special vehicle appeared in the eyes of the residents of Ordin City, some local residents and adventurers who happened to come here stopped what they were doing and set their sights on the bright silver car. On the four-wheeled steel behemoth.

Everyone watched it come from the city gate, heading towards the castle in the center of the city where no big person lived in for a long time.

"Is this the new city lord?"

"It should be. Some time ago, I heard rumors that Altin City was allocated to a prince as a fief."

"Then this prince is also unfavorable. There has been no city lord in Ordin City for more than 100 years. The previous city lord seems to have competed with the emperor for the throne, and was sent here by the emperor when he failed."

"Not this time! I heard that our Lord City Lord invited himself here."

"Ah? Please?!"

"That's right, he is the No. 17 son of the current emperor. It is said that his occupation is a card master. Our Altin City lacks everything except cards!"

"No wonder……"

"That's not right. Now the export price of cards is ridiculously low, and you can buy a lot of them for just a little money. There is no need to suffer at the place of origin, right?"

"I don't know about that, maybe the thinking of big people is sometimes weird."

"..."

After the four-wheeled 'behemoth' disappeared, the residents on the street gathered in twos and threes and began to share what they knew about the new city lord.

It's just curiosity about this new city lord, no one has any expectation that Altin City can develop.

"Hi, how do you sell this?"

Roy, the owner of the war pet shop, who was sitting and dozing in the shop, was startled by the sudden voice above his head.He raised his head reflexively.

Into the eyes is a stranger who has never seen it before. There is a white snowy owl standing on his shoulder. The little animal is staring closely at the newly configured rations for war pets that he hangs outside.

Another adventurer.

Roy yawned, not paying much attention to people.There are quite a few adventurers coming and going in Altin City, and his battle pet store is in Altin City, and it is still a shop with a good income.

"A pack of 10 copper coins, 10% discount for multiples of 10, and the original price for the excess." Roy said lazily, reaching into the transparent counter, as if to take out [-] packs of rations.

Adventurers take advantage of group love, and every time he says this, he can sell multiples of 10 at once.All the battle pets are big eaters, and the rations he sells are generous, and they are quite popular with adventurers.

"Ah, you don't need so much, one pack is enough!" Before Roy could take out all the rations, the stranger hurriedly stopped him, "My battle pet is a picky eater, and it has run out of food reserves. Those who come for emergency don’t need so many.”

Roy's hand stopped for a moment, and he looked at the snowy owl on the shoulder of the man in front of him with a strange look, "10 copper coins, here you are." He paused for two seconds, and threw a pack of rations in front of him animal trainer.

Ah, arrogant adventurer.

When your battle pets finish eating the rations I made, you will know how great the great battle pet breeding expert Roy is.No battle pet can resist the temptation of the rations I made!

Roy blew the hair drooping in front of him, put away the 10 copper coins on the counter, and watched the back of the man leaving just now, and let out a soft hum, waiting for a good show.

On a fairly wide square outside the store, the four-wheeled vehicle that had driven into Altin City before was parked. There are not many people on the tool.

"My lord, when are we going to the City Lord's Mansion? The steward should have received the news of your arrival." The adventurer got on the vehicle with ease, and spoke respectfully to the young man sitting at the front reading a book.

"Don't worry, wait for them to inquire about the news."

The young man has short black hair, and a lock of long hair at the back of his neck hangs down on his chest.He put down the book, looked at the snowy owl on the man's shoulder with his pine green eyes, "Come on, Xiaobai." He said.

This young man is none other than Xia Heng, the newly appointed city lord who has been talked about by the residents of Altin City.

The means of transportation they took was an ultra-clean RV that Xia Heng used cards to carve out various important parts and then spliced ​​them together.

The whole process was fairly smooth, except for the most important power system, Xia Heng didn't spend much time on other parts.

The power source of this world is not the fossil fuels or electricity that Xia Heng is familiar with. All the knowledge about this in his memory needs to be overthrown.

After wasting nearly [-] cards, and after countless failures and repeated experiments, Xia Heng finally successfully transformed the power system before they set off, so that they could use the supernatural power unique to this world to drive.

A specific energy tank is used as the power source, and what is contained in it is the material that supplies all the energy to run in this world-the origin stone.

In order to improve the utilization rate of energy, Xia Heng specially designed several versions after the success, and made the final assembly after repeated comparisons.

Xia Heng didn't meet the father of this body - His Majesty the Emperor of the Sunset Empire until he asked for the fief.

But what Xia Heng couldn't figure out was that His Majesty the Emperor looked at him with such subtle eyes.

It's the kind of tangled expression that looks at someone through him, but doesn't want to see him, and still has a little bit of resentment.

If I had to describe it... probably the emperor wanted to be out of sight and out of mind.

Anyway, when he proposed to go to Altin, the emperor agreed very happily. Not only did he pack a lot of good things for him, but he also generously assigned him several guardian knights, one of which was given to him at the beginning. Manuscript of Gris the Beastmaster.

In short, it doesn't look like Dad doesn't hurt at all.

Oh, and Gris's family also came along for some reason.

However, because there is still business in the imperial city that has not been handed over, I did not set off with them.

Corey also applied to become his guardian knight.

It is said that the man was helped by Grandpa Gries in the early years. Now that Gries's family moved, Gries became his guardian knight, and that guy followed.

"My lord... You've already made it more and more picky... It's not good to go on like this..."

Gris saw that his war pet didn't have any dignity as a monster, and flew over with flapping wings, standing on Xia Heng's outstretched fingers to show off his cuteness and beg for him.

Thinking of the hard work he had put in to subdue this four-star white-feathered snowy owl, Gries is sour now, very sour!

He served it so wholeheartedly, but he had never enjoyed such treatment.

What a little heartless!

He kept it for so long for nothing!

"Where's the rations you bought?" Xia Heng didn't reply to his words, but asked Gries for the rations he had just bought for his pets.

"At this."

Gris handed the small bag in his hand to Xia Heng, and then continued to look at his pet with resentful eyes.However, the white-feathered snowy owl, which has already been instigated by Xia Heng, doesn't care about its owner's mental journey at this time. It can be said that it is trying its best to show off its cuteness, trying to get some food from Xia Heng.

"The production process is rough..." Xia Heng gently twirled the pet rations in his hand, observed the powder left on the pulp of his lower finger, and muttered in a low voice, "However, the craftsmanship is good to be able to achieve this level. The raw materials here..."

"Hey! Xia Heng!—"

Xia Heng was still analyzing the current situation in Altin City based on the rations in his hand, a figure hurriedly ran into the carriage, squeezed away Gris, who was sitting not far from Xia Heng, and sat down on the seat closest to him. position.

"I found out that the food production of Ordin City has not been high since the city was founded, and it can only reach the level of barely enough to eat without starvation. I asked an old man about the specific situation. He said it was a land problem, but Ordin Tingcheng does not have enough funds to hire high-level spiritual planters to improve the land environment, so it has been dragging on..."

Xia Feng sat on the seat to calm his breath, picked up a water cup from the ground and gulped it down for a few big gulps, then raised his hand boldly to wipe the corner of his mouth, and then fed back all the information he had inquired to Xia Heng like pouring beans. .

As a foodie whose mouth has been raised by Xia Heng, the food in the palace is as hard to swallow as chaff for him.

So when he heard that Xia Heng was going to leave for the fiefdom of Altin City, Xia Feng immediately packed up his little baggage and followed him without saying a word.

Of course, there was a reason why he followed so effortlessly.

Not long after he awakened his professional talent, his mother gave birth to a younger sister whose professional talent was a sacrifice to the light.

The heir to the throne of the Sunset Empire has never been limited to gender, but only a combination of professional talent and governance ability.

When his sister was just born, he was treated the same as usual, but since his sister's professional talent was detected, he fell out of favor with his mother at a speed visible to the naked eye.Just like before, he transferred all the treatment he wanted, and he had to be instructed every day to help his sister win the throne.

Xia Feng doesn't doubt it at all now, if it wasn't for the fact that he, a lv53 fighter, is conspicuous among the royal heirs, his mother would have put all her motherly love on his sister long ago.

Following Xia Heng and being in the palace can't escape the fate of becoming a tool person.

but!

Following Xia Heng would at least allow him to enjoy the enjoyment of his appetite, even if he was asked to work, he would be willing to do so!

"Land issue..." Xia Heng succinctly summed up the list of Xia Feng's reports, "It seems that the plan needs to be changed slightly, and the problem of food and clothing for the residents in the city should be solved first."

Xia Heng straightened up and stretched, and returned the pitiful white-feathered snowy owl standing on her hand to Gris, "I have recently controlled its diet, the rations I bought just now can feed it for a few days, it is now seriously overweight and needs to lose weight .”

The white-feathered snowy owl, who was trying to be cute and begging for food, suddenly froze and stared at Xia Heng with accusing eyes.In the end, after finding that Xia Heng could not 'change his mind', it stood limply on Gries' shoulder like a frost-beaten eggplant.

"Hey! I'm not overweight! I'm so hungry and skinny after traveling so long!" Xia Feng interjected untimely, "I don't ask too much, just a portion of donkey meat!"

Xia Heng, who was planning to check the land situation in Altin City while it was still early: "..."

Good guy!

He is a city lord and a card master!

Not a cook! ! !
