Chapter 490 This is how I do things in the Mechanical City!
An hour later, everyone was still watching.
But then, people from the Mechanized City arrived.
This was a very thin middle-aged man with sunken eyes and a hooked nose.
This person is the person in charge of the external business of the Mechanical City.
"Master Monkey, the price you quoted is too high, we really can't do it!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Sith's tall frame shrunk to the size of a shrimp as he bowed respectfully.
He was the strongest person here and was chosen to speak on behalf of everyone.
"Humph!"
However, upon hearing this, the hook-nosed man called Monkey snorted coldly:
"The giant beasts outside the city... did you all see them? The world is getting more and more chaotic, and the weapons in the Mechanized City can increase your ability to protect yourselves. Tell me, which is more important, the energy stones or your own lives?"
Therefore, my Mechanical City has changed its mind and will take 95% of the profits!
"What? Wasn't it supposed to be 9%? Why did it suddenly increase again?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes.
I can hardly believe it, am I deaf?
Do you want to hear what you're saying?
At this moment, everyone even subconsciously accepted giving the Mechanized City 9% of the profits in order to complete the transaction!
"Sorry, Lord Monkey, we can't do it!" Sith gritted his teeth and said defiantly.
"Heh!" Ma Hou sneered, not backing down at all, "If you can't do it, plenty of others can! The Mechanical City has the best weapons in the world, we won't have to worry about selling them!"
That's how we do things in this government office!
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around, and left.
When disaster strikes, the price of weapons in the Mechanical City skyrockets.
The first-tier weapon, which originally cost 100 energy stones, has jumped to 500, or even 1000...
However, the surrounding major powers had no choice but to buy it in order to survive!
After the calamity, all the major powers were emptied of their coffers, but the Mechanized City made a fortune!
"That bastard! He's gone too far!" Everyone present gritted their teeth in hatred as they watched the hook-nosed man stride away.
It's worth noting that they've put up their entire savings this time, amounting to tens of millions in payments.
All for the sake of acquiring enough serial weapons to prepare for the coming century-long catastrophe.
But just before that, this monkey proposed to the elders that it would take 9% of the profits.
Now, prices have increased by another 50%. Are they really not giving them a way to survive?
"Brother!" Seeing her brother's pale face, Sif stepped forward and grabbed his hand, comforting him, "If the Mechanized City won't give us a way out, let's think of other ways."
"Sigh... what other options are there?"
Sith watched the monkey's departing figure, shook his head and sighed:
"Our Moon Pass tribe is currently facing a severe resource shortage. If we can't acquire enough weapons, let alone survive the once-in-a-century catastrophe, we might not even make it through the next full moon! Moreover... the children of our tribe haven't had a proper meal in a long time. If this continues..."
The thought of those hungry children who can only drink a bowl of soup a day is unbearable.
This once upright man bent over again, his eyes filled with helplessness.
“I don’t think so!” Sif shook her head upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes gazing towards the direction outside the city as she said, “Perhaps we can go and take a look at that city!”
"Yes, this is the only way!"
Sith also looked at the earth dragon turtle outside the city and gave a wry smile.
Sif smiled reassuringly, "Maybe... there's something good on that beast's back. That way, we can trade directly with them. Besides, look, the people from the Mechanical City have all gone up..."
"Makes sense."
Upon hearing this, Sith seemed to realize something, and a determined glint appeared in his eyes.
As itinerant merchants, they were already living on the edge of a knife.
Now that he has come across a city built on the back of a giant beast, he naturally wants to go up and take a look.
Sith guessed that this faction wasn't there to start a war.
Because when the people from the Mechanized City went up, there was no direct battle between the two sides.
Moreover, Sith felt that no matter how heartless a force was, it was still better than the Mechanical City!
"Let's go! Let's go up and take a look!"
Sith immediately greeted everyone and left with his sister.
Everyone present was somewhat tempted upon seeing this.
However, upon seeing the enormous size of the beast, they were all terrified and dared not approach.
What if the monster suddenly gets angry and slaps you?
They will all turn into a pile of minced meat in an instant.
"Let's wait until they, brother and sister, come back before we talk about it."
After making their decision, Sissif and the other person went directly to the feet of the Earth Dragon Turtle.
"Want to go up?" Chu Ling Shuang, who had just come down from the elevator stone house, asked with a smile.
"Sister, you're so beautiful!" Sif complimented the pretty older sister in front of her.
Seeing the other person dressed smartly and with radiant, glowing skin, and then looking at myself... I was covered in dust and dirt, and my skin was dry and cracked from the sun.
"Hehe! Thank you!" Chu Ling Shuang laughed heartily and said generously, "You're very beautiful too!"
"Really?" Sif asked in surprise.
Sith, however, asked warily, "What kind of force are you? Can we really go up there?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled his younger sister behind him.
His younger sister was too innocent and kind; he was afraid she would be kidnapped.
"Our faction is called Dragon City!"
Chu Ling Shuang raised her chin proudly and introduced, "We're here to trade and exchange ideas with the Mechanized City. If you're interested, you can go up and take a look; there are many good things inside."
Having been to so many places in Longcheng, Chu Ling Shuang has also met all sorts of people.
So, she noticed how travel-worn these people looked.
I immediately guessed that these two were probably traveling merchants who came to the Mechanical City to make a trade.
However, they were still somewhat wary of Longcheng, which they were unfamiliar with.
Therefore, Chu Ling Shuang said a few more words to dispel the other party's doubts.
Upon hearing Chu Ling Shuang's words, Xi Fu grabbed her brother's arm and shook it, saying, "Brother, let's go up with this big sister quickly."
Her eyes not only see far, but also observe with keen insight.
There was not a trace of malice in this older sister's eyes.
This shows that this beautiful older sister must be a good person.
"Okay, let's go." Sith glanced at Chu Ling Shuang and the others, and nodded.
Having spent so many years venturing into the wilderness, he has developed a fairly good ability to judge people.
These people exuded a calm and peaceful aura.
Unlike the guards of the city, who are fierce and cruel.
"Please fasten your seatbelts, you two!" Chu Ling Shuang reminded the two siblings with a smile after they entered the elevator and sat down.
She wouldn't give a kind look to those with ulterior motives in the city of machines.
But these two people looked like respectable folks, so we naturally had to treat them well.
