Chapter 468 - 474: Mega Deal
Sand Spring City.
Hang Yu is in a meeting.
Jiang Nan reported on the status of the territory.
"The first phase of territorial construction for Sand Spring City has been successfully completed."
"Now the number of soldiers in Sand Spring City has reached fifteen thousand, various basic infrastructures have been successfully built, the whole territory is smoothly connected to the net, and the commercial system is complete."
"More than twenty native lords not only highly depend on Sand Spring City for economy and trade but are also strongly influenced by our human cultural infiltration. At this rate, they will soon be assimilated by humans, eliminating internal risks."
Everyone nodded.
Entering this stage.
The situation in Sand Spring City has become stable as a rock.
"Next, we need to enter the second phase, focusing on improving the quality of soldiers, increasing productivity, and upgrading territorial buildings to fully exploit Sand Spring City’s potential resources and capabilities."
After hearing the report, Hang Yu said: "Very well done, all departments must continue to work hard. It’s not enough to secure a stable position in Desert Province; Earth Dragon Realm is not just Desert Province. We must always be vigilant about external changes and adapt accordingly."
Zhao Ming and Xu Tianhua are the core senior members of Azure Dragon.
Both know that Hang Yu has secretly allied with Celestial Desolation City and joined the Blackthorn Alliance in Earth Dragon Realm.
With Blood Asura Nazg as a powerful ally.
No force in Desert Province can threaten humans.
Even if the other three Great Lords and the remaining forces unite, it makes no difference.
But as humans grow stronger in Earth Dragon Realm, Heska won’t just stand by.
The strength of the Mad Dragon King is unfathomable, and his forces are overwhelming. Humans will have to confront this most powerful king of Earth Dragon Realm sooner or later, so neither Azure Dragon Organization nor humans in Earth Dragon Realm can afford to relax.
"Wow, boss."
"A few beastmen have arrived outside."
"They claim to be from Celestial Desolation City!"
Upon hearing this, Hang Yu knew they must be Nazg’s people, likely here for trading with Desert Province, and he immediately summoned Poison Blade and five high-level beastmen in the living room.
Before coming to Sand Spring City, Poison Blade had inspected four or five local towns consecutively. Poison Blade found the changes in Sand Spring City’s territory unbelievable and witnessed the overwhelming potential of humans.
The Governor was right.
Humans are worthy partners.
Based on the situation here, at least this person differs from the Mad Dragon King and any Spirit Realm leader; he can promote joint prosperity and wealth of the territory, rather than building prosperity on exploitation.
Moreover, human potential and numbers are astounding.
They are the only force that could possibly defeat Heska.
And they are the world’s only opportunity in a century to overthrow the Mad Dragon King.
Poison Blade bowed respectfully: "Deputy City Lord Poison Blade of Celestial Desolation City, representing the Governor of Spirit Realm, greets the City Lord of Sand Spring City."
Is there a Deputy City Lord of Celestial Desolation City?
Hang Yu recalled the Deputy City Lord he previously eliminated.
Nazg said Sago was supported by Heska, and it was clear Nazg was guarded against Sago, whereas Poison Blade, sent as an envoy to Sand Spring City, showed Nazg’s strong trust in him.
Hang Yu said, "No need to be so formal; the Governor and I are friends, and Celestial Desolation City and Sand Spring City are brother cities. How much merchandise has the affluent Celestial Desolation City brought to Sand Spring City?"
Poison Blade gestured.
Four beastmen stepped forward.
Each beastman carried several large boxes.
At this moment, they placed the boxes on the ground and opened them, revealing myriad dazzling lights emanating from within. Each box was filled with various items.
Space Treasure Chests!
A tool made using alchemical methods!
These are storage tools, functioning similarly to Storage Space, except people’s Storage Space is bound to their soul, whereas these Space Treasure Chests can be moved.
Depending on the quality, the internal space and the quality of items that can be stored vary. These four chests are blue quality boxes, each capable of holding hundreds of items and storing blue items at maximum.
Zhao Ming and Xu Tianhua went to check.
Both drew in a sharp breath.
Zhao Ming excitedly reported, "It’s remarkable; nearly all are no less than green quality, even the white items present mostly include precious Skill Stones."
Xu Tianhua added, "The blue items number as high as one or two hundred, and there are as many as forty to fifty blue equipment pieces!"
Jiang Nan and Er Gou were dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Celestial Desolation City is too wealthy!
"This is the first batch of goods from Celestial Desolation City," Poison Blade explained, "Totaling four boxes, each with around five hundred items, none of which are materials, all finished products including equipment, Skill Stones, Skill Scrolls, recipe drawings, Spirit Beast Eggs, and special items, etc.!"
Even Hang Yu was surprised.
This is undoubtedly a shipment of staggering value.
Even Sand Spring City with its current finances would find it difficult to manage, affecting cash flow and territorial construction.
Seeing Poison Blade’s demeanor.
It’s clear he doesn’t care.
Celestial Desolation City’s reserves appear far beyond this.
But this is normal as Nazg has ruled Celestial Desolation City for over thirty years. Nazg’s predecessor was also a Beastman race; Celestial Desolation City has experienced several battles over the decades, but never an overthrowing, destructive war.
Celestial Desolation City is extremely wealthy.
This is undoubtedly true!
Er Gou quickly stepped forward.
He conducted a rough valuation of the items.
or so white items, although they are white items, mostly include Skill Stones, along with drawings, Summoning Talismans, Spirit Beast Eggs, etc., with a total estimated value exceeding 300,000 White Crystals.
About 720 green items, including complete sets of advanced Green Set Skills, Skill Stones, drawings, recipes, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. These are the best of green items, estimated at over 150,000 Green Crystal Stones.
or so blue items, including Third or Fourth Tier Skill Stones, Skill Scrolls, blue equipment, estimated at over 18,000 Blue Crystal Stones.
These valuations are preliminary.
These are the best of the best.
However, for Desert Province, the value is not that high, so locally, it’s at least halved.
On the contrary, if taken to the human world, each would sell well, with no worry of finding buyers, and the value would be driven even higher, doubling wouldn’t be surprising.
As one value falls and another rises.
Tremendous profit!
Of course, many good things are worth digesting internally, not all should be sent out to earn money.
"Hmm, not bad, good goods!" Hang Yu was highly satisfied; this business was like picking up money, "How does Celestial Desolation City wish to trade?"
Poison Blade said, "We don’t lack Crystal Stones. A small portion of these items will be settled with Crystal Stones. We hope to barter for the goods we need."
"No problem!"
More than just no problem!
It’s exactly what we need!
Sand Spring City and Azure Dragon don’t have that many Current Crystals; if Celestial Desolation City demanded Crystal Stones, Hang Yu couldn’t provide them, unless by disrupting Azure Dragon and Cyan Dragon’s cash flow and hindering organizational development, which would be far from worthwhile.
Barter is optimal!
Things in Desert Province are devalued.
The human world easily accesses resources from other Spirit Realms.
These resources are absent in Desert Province, so they are bound to have significant premiums.
One rises, one falls.
Profit increases once more!
Hang Yu said, "Celestial Desolation City can make a detailed list of needed materials, and we will evaluate them. My assistant Er Gou and Deputy City Lord Zhao Ming will handle the specific transaction details."
Zhao Ming’s eyes lit up, stepping forward enthusiastically: "Rest assured, Sand Spring City seeks long-term cooperation and equal trade, meaning our valuation will undoubtedly satisfy you."
Is the human appetite truly this large?
Poison Blade was somewhat surprised; although the batch of goods doesn’t represent a big number for Celestial Desolation City, it’s still significant to other Great Lords.
Humans have controlled Sand Spring City for just two months.
Yet they have the confidence to swallow it whole.
Poison Blade had to reevaluate Sand Spring City’s overall competency.
However, Poison Blade wasn’t in a rush to discuss pricing; he told Hang Yu, "These are only low-level items. We’ve prepared advanced items specifically for direct trade with the Lord."
These are still considered low-level?
There are dozens of, over ten-level, blue equipment pieces here!
There are also twenty or thirty Fourth Tier Skill Stones; if these are still low-level.
What are the advanced items Poison Blade spoke of? He didn’t keep them guessing, quickly producing several items emitting a purple glow.
Hang Yu’s attention was drawn to one item, unable to maintain his calm, he immediately stood upright, "This is... the Skill Stone of the Light Chasing Sword Saint!"
[Combat Professional Skill Stone: Light Chasing Swift Shadow Swordsmanship], Purple Middle Grade Quality, Light Chasing Sword Saint Inheritance Skill.
