Chapter 361 A transaction worth tens of thousands!
Xiao Yu looked at the City Lord of Xueye and said, "Bring a basin of heavily polluted water."
"Alright." The Lord of Snow Night City didn't ask why, he just ordered his men to do as instructed.
But for some reason, he had a vague idea of what was going on, yet he still wanted to witness it with his own eyes.
One of the guards quickly left.
A moment later, the guard brought over a basin of water that was emitting green smoke and black vapor.
"Little Shii." Xiao Yu waved to the slime in Xinglan's arms.
"Shii! Shii!" The little guy was still lying in the comfortable bed, but he stretched out one tentacle, which instantly grew to more than ten meters long and reached directly into the basin of water.
The next second, to everyone's astonishment...
The water in the basin turned into clear water almost instantly.
No more green smoke or black gas was emitted.
"This...how is this possible?" Everyone stared wide-eyed at the sight.
Some people were still a little skeptical, so they immediately took a cup, scooped some water from the basin, and drank it. They were immediately amazed to find that the water was not only free of any pollution, but also very sweet.
"I'll try some too! Haha...it's really sweet!" Everyone who tried it was overjoyed.
"City Lord Xiao Yu, is this the method you mentioned?" Upon seeing this, City Lord Xue Ye suddenly stood up.
He kept wondering how Longcheng solved its water problem.
He is a ninth-level expert, capable of controlling the weather to produce snow and obtain a large amount of water.
But... as a ninth-level cultivator, there's only so much he can do.
And what about Longcheng? It supports so many people and grows a vast amount of plants.
Now, Lord Xueye finally understood.
“That’s right!” Xiao Yu noticed the burning gaze of the Snow Night City Lord and nodded with a faint smile, “Just as you guessed.”
"City Lord Xiao Yu, tell me the price for solving the water problem," City Lord Xue Ye said straightforwardly.
He had no intention of actually robbing it.
First of all, my own abilities do not allow it.
I feel that Xiao Yu is no weaker than him.
Moreover, Xiao Yu was his savior.
Although I only received a mere one or two million!
If he were to lay a hand on his benefactor, his reputation would be ruined, and he would be unable to hold his head high in front of his daughter.
“Five million!” Xiao Yu thought for a moment, then stretched out a hand and said, “I will help you solve the water problem, water the plants, and provide water for everyone in the City of Ruins.”
"Deal!" Xueye said decisively without the slightest hesitation.
Five million is not a small sum for someone at the ninth level.
But this is nothing compared to Xiao Yu saving his life and only receiving one or two million.
His life is worth more than one or two million, and the water problem in the city of ruins is something that no one can solve even if he spends tens of millions of energy stones!
After all, this is a wasteland world, and many things cannot be measured by money!
"In that case, let's complete the water transaction first," Xiao Yu nodded.
“Alright! City Lord Xiao Yu, please wait a moment. I’ll send someone to fetch the energy stone.” City Lord Xue Ye was quite decisive, nodding to his son, Xue Donglai.
Soon, Xue Donglai led his men to retrieve a large number of energy stones, which were then moved onto Xiao Yu's royal carriage.
"City Lord Xiao Yu, tell us what to do now?" City Lord Xue Ye asked expectantly.
"First, find an earth-elemental awakener and have them dig a huge reservoir."
"Leave this to me." As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, Sotun nodded.
Xiao Yu glanced at the other party and instructed, "The bigger the better!"
“No problem!” Sotun nodded and rushed out.
He felt that he owed Lord Xueye a great deal.
Now... he just wants to do something for the other person, and for the City of Ruins.
"Let's go help too." Batu and the others from Dongcheng saw this and rushed out as well.
"City Lord Xiao Yu." Seeing that Sotun and the others had left, City Lord Xueye looked at Xiao Yu again and tentatively asked, "Having a water source and planting trees only solves the oxygen problem, but what about lighting at night?"
The sandstorms are even stronger in the city of ruins at night.
Even on the night of the full moon, the sky is dark and gloomy.
Therefore, it's impossible not to light torches at night; in fact, you have to light a lot of them.
Otherwise, the dark and murky world would be the domain of spies and thieves!
“That’s easy. In my City of Ruins, there’s a kind of glowing insect. If you buy more than 100, it costs 10,000 energy stones each. The maximum you can buy is 200.” As Xiao Yu spoke, he waved his hand, and the glowing insects that were crawling outside the City Lord’s Mansion flew in.
The Glorious Beetle is now producing offspring at a faster rate.
It only takes about ten days to lay a hundred eggs.
If you feed it enough energy points, it can speed up even more.
"Such a wondrous creature?"
Everyone saw a dazzling light emanating from the insect's tail.
Only one...
In an instant, the previously dimly lit hall became as bright as day.
It was even a little dazzling, like the sun, impossible to look directly at.
"Alright, I, the City of Ruins, need two hundred of these little insects!" Lord Snow Night immediately decided.
This did indeed solve the lighting problem.
Moreover, in the past, due to the strong winds and sandstorms, it was necessary to light a large number of torches.
That's how it was created.
Many spies and thieves used those torches to set fires.
The sandstorm has intensified.
If someone were to set a fire, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In the past, this has caused huge losses on many occasions.
Now, with the glowworm, just one can make everything within a hundred meters clearly visible.
Those spies and thieves will have nowhere to hide and won't have to worry about arson anymore.
"Lord City Lord, the East City Lord has sent word that the reservoir has been dug." At this moment, a subordinate came in to report.
"Very good." Lord Xueye nodded and looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu nodded and slowly stood up, saying, "Then let's go."
Immediately, the group followed the guards and headed straight for the reservoir.
Everyone present was incredibly powerful, and their night vision was almost as good as their daytime vision.
Therefore, there is not much difference between working during the day and working at night.
A moment later, the group arrived at a secluded place.
This location is relatively far from residential areas, and is near the main city's military camp, where tens of thousands of people are stationed at all times. The reservoir is the lifeblood of the city, making this location the most suitable for its construction.
"The size is enough! And the location is good too!"
Xiao Yu scanned it with his mental power and nodded in approval.
The total area of this reservoir reaches several million square kilometers.
It is over 200 meters high and has an irregular elliptical shape.
Once this reservoir is filled, it can supply water for at least hundreds of thousands of people.
Most importantly, one part of this reservoir is less than 100 meters away from a large polluted water source, which is just the right place for the slime to fill the water.
"not enough."
Xiao Yu thought for a moment, then stamped his foot, activating the power of the earth.
Suddenly,
Everyone present felt a slight tremor in the ground.
Then, I felt it.
The position where I was standing dropped by tens of meters.
The original large reservoir was also expanded.
"City Lord Xiao Yu, has the entire reservoir been reinforced?" Upon noticing the changes to the reservoir, Sotun and City Lord Xueye exchanged a glance, their faces filled with shock.
To know.
The construction of this reservoir was a joint effort by Sotun and several earth-elemental awakened individuals.
Moreover, it took nearly two hours.
But now, Xiao Yu only needs to stomp his foot lightly to strengthen the reservoir several times over.
Now, we no longer have to worry about water seeping into the ground and being lost, nor about it being polluted by sewage.
"That's about it." Xiao Yu looked around the reservoir before nodding in satisfaction and beckoning to the slime.
"Shii! Shii!" Little Shii immediately flew out.
The little guy came to the middle of the reservoir and a large polluted water source nearby, and his two little paws instantly grew to 100 meters long and 1 meter in diameter.
It placed one tentacle in the polluted river and the other in the reservoir.
next second.
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped.
I saw...
As the slime used its power, the polluted water source surged wildly into the pipe that the slime had transformed into, and then flowed out from the other end as clean water.
"This is amazing! No wonder he is City Lord Xiao Yu!"
