Chapter 467 - 473: The Minor Lord Addicted to the Internet

Celestial Desolation City.

A purple-robed Beastman approached Nazg.

"Governor, everything is ready. I will personally go to Sand Spring City."

Nazg nodded and said, "From now on, you will be the head of the Beastman Commerce Association, responsible for the trade between Celestial Desolation City and Sand Spring City."

The purple-robed Beastman was another Deputy City Lord of Celestial Desolation City: Poison Blade.

Names in the Spirit Realm are generally translated two ways: semantic translation or phonetic translation.

Names like Nazg, Heska, Sharu, and Kaliemlo, which have no literal meanings, are derived from phonetic translations, whereas names like Poison Blade or Golden Hammer are clearly semantic translations.

This purple-robed Beastman’s name sounds like a Warrior.

In reality, he’s an extremely powerful Spiritual Professional, with strength nearing that of a Great Lord.

Different from Sago.

Poison Blade and Nazg come from the same tribe.

Both know each other well, and as members of the Blackthorn Alliance, Nazg trusts Poison Blade even more, deciding to make him the liaison with Sand Spring City, or rather, with humans.

Poison Blade couldn’t help but ask, "Is our cooperation with humans too risky? After all, in the long run, humans have greater potential than the Dragon-man Race. Once they establish dominance, they might be more stable than the Dragonmen."

Nazg said, "Precisely because of this, humans are more valuable for investment. Their potential is not limited to the Earth Dragon Realm but can instead drive our development."

Poison Blade still felt some concern.

Although the Governor signed a cross-contract with the other party.

However, contracts have limited constraints. If the human leader Hang Yu’s strength exceeds these bounds, he could turn around at any time, tear up the contract, and betray us.

Nazg said, "This time, when you go to Sand Spring City, besides completing the first transaction, you must further survey the territory of Sand Spring City. I need to know the true strength and actions of the Humans in Sand Spring City."

"Yes!"

Poison Blade wasted no time.

Immediately took four trusted subordinates.

The five of them flew on a Flying Spirit Beast at a speed no less than an airliner, reaching the territory of Sand Spring City in half a day.

According to the instructions of the Governor.

Poison Blade didn’t directly go to Sand Spring City, deciding to survey the towns within Sand Spring City’s realm as the Governor’s special envoy, observing the lifestyles of local Spirit Realm natives.

First arriving at Qingxi Town.

This is a Fox Race town.

Based on the intel received, the Fox Race was also one of the earliest cities to pledge allegiance to the Humans.

When Poison Blade arrived at Qingxi Town, he was surprised to find that this small town was much more prosperous than imagined. All the Spirit Fields in the town were planted with various Spirit Plants, and several nearby mines were bustling with Collection Soldiers.

The proportion of Production Soldiers in Qingxi Town’s total manpower occupied about half, which is very rare elsewhere, and even the Combat Soldiers were mostly dispersed, hunting as quickly as possible.

The town walls, Protective Barrier, and other facilities were all upgraded, nearing advanced status.

In the city, there are not only dozens of Fox Race members.

But they’ve also recruited twenty to thirty stray races.

Qingxi Town’s Vice Lord, Fox Nine, happened to encounter some Beastmen.

He couldn’t understand why the bigwigs from Celestial Desolation City would come to their small place? There mustn’t be any special motives, right? He couldn’t help but feel some caution and hostility.

Poison Blade said, "Don’t worry, we’re just curious about the system and management currently implemented by Sand Spring City, ordered by the Governor to come for a visit, and without any hostility."

Once Fox Nine confirmed there was no malice from the other party, he couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief and quickly said, "Humans have been in Sand Spring City for almost two months now, and during these two months, the territory has indeed changed quite a bit."

He briefly described the changes in Qingxi Town.

Since Humans came here, nearly abolishing territorial taxes and establishing a trade network centered on Sand Spring City, in less than two months, Qingxi Town has undergone earth-shattering changes.

During this period.

Four members have successively developed Third Tier inheritance.

Lord Fox Three has also prepared the second and third Third Tier inheritance skills, needing only to cultivate skills and accumulate Spiritual Qi to quickly acquire these inheritances.

Skill Stones that used to take a year and a half to find are now usually acquired within a day or two, as long as an order is placed with Sand Spring City, and the stones aren’t particularly rare.

Additionally.

Resources, potions, formulas, blueprints, which were absent or scarce in the Desert Province but urgently needed by people, are continuously flowing in. In the past two months, Sand Spring City’s territory has seen a huge improvement in Magic Guidance Technology, Medicine Refining Technology, Artifact Refining Technology, and overall territory construction.

Over twenty Minor Lords have completely abandoned internal conflicts.

After all, how much money can be earned from internal strife?

It would also offend a Great Lord.

Instead of doing so, it’s better to focus on construction and production, raising the competitiveness of the territory.

Not just Qingxi Town.

Many towns have reduced the number of Combat Soldiers.

Combat Soldiers should be skilled rather than numerous, and the proportion of Production Soldiers has quickly increased.

Additionally, with the inventions and creations from the Human Realm constantly entering various territories, the lives of these lords and natives have quickly become colorful and diverse. It can be said that they can no longer do without Sand Spring City.

Fox Nine entered a hall with Poison Blade.

Looking up.

There was a huge display screen.

Similar to a stock exchange chart, the prices of hundreds of materials from the secular world were clearly displayed, with numbers constantly jumping and refreshing. Every few seconds, a new quote would appear, and several members of the Fox Race were nervously recording something.

"The price of mithril has risen by 13% in two days!"

"Looking at this trend, it might go up even more!"

"Latest news, Sand Spring City plans to fully upgrade its arenas and cultivation fields recently. The demand for Black Iron Wood is very high, and supply cannot meet demand, so Black Iron Wood will definitely soar. We should hurry to collect some, and we’ll definitely make a huge profit!"

"..."

Poison Blade couldn’t understand.

He asked, "What are these people doing?"

Fox Nine quickly explained, "These are real-time quotes from the Sand Spring City Trading Center. It’s directly connected to Sand Spring City, and prices change not just daily, but even minute by minute."

"No matter how many resources, Sand Spring City can take them all. We can collect and stockpile in advance based on price fluctuations, or go out to purchase, so as to achieve maximum profit."

The two entered a room.

Here were a dozen computers.

Lord Fox Three and several territory members sat in front of the computers.

Some were watching dramas, some were playing games, and some were listening to music.

This was like a small internet cafe. Upon hearing Fox Nine’s voice, Fox Three immediately shouted, "Fox Nine, you’ve come at just the right time. Sand Spring City is organizing a ’StarCraft League’, and over a dozen small towns will participate. There are rich rewards for winning the championship this time!"

"In fact, the prize doesn’t really matter. Qingxi Town doesn’t lack these resources. Recently, we lost in the semifinals of the Landlord Competition to that group of goblins in Twilight Town. Losing again this time would be too embarrassing."

"..."

Fox Three suddenly paused.

He noticed the person beside Fox Nine.

This purple-robed beastman emitted a strong sense of oppression, which made his expression change. This guy was very powerful, probably not simple.

"This is an envoy from Celestial Desolation City!"

"An envoy from Celestial Desolation City?" Fox Three was unsure of the person’s attitude, "Why would someone from Celestial Desolation City come here?"

Could it be that Celestial Desolation City intends to start a conflict with Sand Spring City? So they came early to buy off Sand Spring City’s minor lords? Hmph, if that’s the case, don’t even think about it. Qingxi Town doesn’t recognize any new lord other than those from the Human Race. I believe other small towns in Sand Spring City feel the same.

No matter who they are!

Even if it’s the mighty Celestial Desolation City!

If you dare to attack Sand Spring City, be prepared for a counterattack by the power of the entire territory!

Poison Blade could see Fox Three’s attitude. He didn’t expect that in less than two months, Sand Spring City’s status had become so stable. The difficulty for external forces to dismantle Sand Spring City’s rule was greater than imagined. Even strong Celestial Desolation City couldn’t easily make a move without it being worth the risk!

"What was that StarCraft League you mentioned just now?"

"It’s a game invented by humans, a game full of wisdom for lords." Once confirming there was no hostility from the other side, Fox Three quickly introduced enthusiastically, "This device called a computer, this magic-guiding box, is very interesting. It can run many entertaining games and show various human artworks."

While talking.

Fox Three played a game in front of Poison Blade.

There’s no denying that a conquest game like StarCraft was very appealing to these Spirit Realm natives.

Which Spirit Realm native doesn’t dream of building a super-strong territory and army, then leading thousands of troops into battle with the enemy? Now Sand Spring City has issued a ban; minor lords are not allowed to fight, and with the appearance of this game, all the minor lords and Spirit Realm natives have found a new way to compete.

Fox Three engaged in a match with a Bearman from Flying Stone Town.

Fox Three chose the Insect Race, while the Bearman on the opposite side chose the Human Race. Both sides quickly established bases, began fortifying defenses, raising armies, and scrambling for resources in a battle of wits and courage.

In the end, Fox Three came out on top.

He used tactics and operations to quickly blow up the opposing base.

Several nearby Foxmen laughed heartily: "Those dim-witted bears from Flying Stone Town think they can compete with our lord. It’s simply seeking death!"

Fox Three was also very proud.

He felt this was a glorious victory!

The lives of these Spirit Realm natives are very monotonous. Due to sparse populations, they can’t establish civilizations and only know fighting all day. How could they have seen these means of entertainment?

Poison Blade, seeing these interesting movies, animations, and games, felt intrigued. He never thought there would be such fascinating things in this world.

The Fox Race in Qingxi Town, though weak.

But their lives are much more interesting than those in Celestial Desolation City!

Some members of the Fox Race have even started learning Chinese and English to better understand human movies and TV series, while some aspire to migrate and live in the Human Realm in the future. In a sense, living as an ordinary citizen in the comfortable and prosperous Human Realm is more desirable than staying in this place!

It’s only been two months since humans occupied Sand Spring City!

All these changes are just the beginning.
