Chapter 765: Chapter 547: Lücao Trading Market_3
“If this mine is exploited, it could be worth a lot of money.”
“I’m sure!” Ta Gang gritted his teeth, “The life-saving kindness is beyond repayment… That mine is yours!”
“On the other side is a geothermal area with vast plains and hot springs, much more comfortable than here.”
“If your city remains here, I’m worried that foreign races might freeze to death on the way.”
“It seems so… our godforsaken place is indeed not very suitable,” Old Cat said through the headset, “though this guy has his own little schemes.”
The intention of this group can actually be guessed… Being close to Green Grass City, they can surely benefit a bit.
As long as it’s not too excessive, Lu Yuan doesn’t mind.
“You gave me a mine, what do you need?” he said with a faint smile.
“We need… a road to the mine.” Ta Gang felt his heart pounding wildly, this man who had been through storms had never endured such pressure in his life, even though there was no crisis at the moment.
But the opportunity this time was too great, he was afraid everything would be lost.
“Oh? Sir, I like to be open and straightforward, tell me your real intentions.”
Ta Gang licked his dry lips and bowed his head: “Commander Lu, we can do some things that are troublesome for you to handle. You need reputation here, and we don’t. We are just an ordinary city.”
“If you dislike any race, your soldiers can’t find excuses personally, but we can directly target them.”
“The Northern Territory has many forces, various races mixed together, not so easy to serve.”
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, having a proxy city could indeed be beneficial.
The world is not just black and white; having some gray areas is indeed necessary.
If business grows big, there will inevitably be some miscellaneous racial disputes, leaving them to another city to handle is better than showing up personally.
Old Cat also agreed with this view: “This guy has some capability, he’s a talent.”
Lu Yuan gently tapped the table: “Since that’s the case, we will send an investigation team to examine the mine. If the geographical location is indeed advantageous, we will consider relocating Green Grass City there.”
Ta Gang felt joy in his heart, bowed slightly, and exited the room.
In the next half month, the number of races arriving at Green Grass City reached as many as seven!
Besides the initial humans, there were lizard men, goblins, turtle-men, batmen, centaurs, and big batmen!
A large group of races newly arrived, finding out that Green Grass City had a master, their reactions were basically similar.
Then they were “invited” by the Worm King into the meeting room for a round of negotiations.
These guys generally didn’t bring money, they came to dig for treasures.
But Lu Yuan still warmly entertained them, first showcasing the prosperity and strength of Green Grass City, followed by quality food and hospitality.
He then let the Worm King, Leviathan, and other insects intimidate them militarily.
Level 12 Extraordinary Life still had prestige, and the scene of the gloomy insect army flying in the sky made all race leaders’ expressions slightly change.
“Mr. Turtle also needs to intimidate them!”
The Undying Giant Turtle flaunted the complex engravings on his body.
“Just this insect army alone could wipe out our city…”
“Seems like… is it a phenomenon-level turtle? Green Grass City also has an anomaly, dwarves have met their match!” Goblin Chief “Brendan Digging Graves” swirled his small green bean eyes, having already secretly spread the news.
Facts proved that the policy of combining the stick with the carrot was indeed effective.
These races, in private exchanges, unanimously believed that “Green Grass City’s ambition is big,” “The Northern Territory’s environment is changing,” “1 civilization point for 50 Spirit Essence, a very friendly price.”
“Dwarves have been snubbed, might initiate a gambling fight.”
Humans on the other hand were happy to see them exchange privately, not stopping the spread of the news.
On this day, Lu Yuan finally summoned representatives from many races for a meeting.
“Hello, distant friends.”
“You’ve been in my city for almost half a month now. Everyone has gained a deeper understanding of each other, perhaps already missing home.”
“Here, we have some small gifts for you.” Lu Yuan gently clapped his hands.
The soldiers, carrying large backpacks, walked in from outside, containing warm carbon nano clothing tailored for various races.
Even for those with peculiar builds, they could still wear warm clothes.
Additionally, the backpack surfaces had solar films—a device that prepares a solar cell into a thin film, lightweight and soft, able to absorb solar energy during the day and slowly release energy at night.
Moreover, the backpack could unfold like a tent, turning into a temporary sleeping bag, its seal akin to an astronaut suit, providing cold and heat insulation.
“This is a technology product developed by my civilization to withstand extreme cold waves, offered free for you to experience. If you find the product good, you can have a preferential price in the future.” Lu Yuan passionately pitched.
This product is purely materialistic, with factories able to mass-produce them, production capacity can be infinitely expanded, and if exchangeable for Spirit Essence, it naturally becomes very worth it.
The leaders tried them, finding a good hand feel, both light and thin.
They carefully folded the materials inside.
The items were naturally good, as for the price… it would need further discussion after returning.
“Commander Lu, is there anything else?” Ta Gang sensed and asked.
Lu Yuan brewed for a while, then slowly spoke: “Friends, our Green Grass City plans to establish a civilization trading market in the Northern Territory.”
“Selling goods, knowledge, to promote the common prosperity of the world.”
“In the trading market, not only can my city sell items, but all cities, regardless of race, can come to us and get a stall to sell their stuff.”
“By paying a small fee, you can obtain the protection of my civilization and ensure fair and just transactions.”
“As the first batch of guests, the several races here will receive discounts on fees and priority in choosing stalls.”
When this scene truly occurred, all the race representatives were invigorated, sitting up straight.
