Chapter 349 Finding Your Original Intention!
After a while.
Sotun found Chu Ling Shuang and entered the inner city again.
Then, we arrived at the Pavilion of Rare Treasures.
Originally, Sotun felt that he had studied enough of the shocks he had experienced today.
Even if I see something else, it won't be as impressive.
However, he soon found that he could no longer control his expression.
Eyes wide, mouth agape, unable to contain their astonishment.
Batu and his confidants were utterly dumbfounded, unable to even control their own facial expressions.
"When Commander Chu said before that the Dragon City Lord was an unparalleled master blacksmith, I was somewhat skeptical. But now... seeing these dozens of divine weapons in the Treasure Pavilion, I truly believe it!"
"This egg, the size of a human head, can not only be eaten, but it can also hatch into spirit beasts and birds?"
"There are also luminous dew, bodhi fruit, and mulberries, all of which are top-tier natural treasures!"
After examining these exquisite treasures one by one, Sotun looked at Chu Ling Shuang with some uncertainty, "Commander Chu, are we sure we can trade these things?"
After all, if he had these things, he would never put them up for sale.
"Of course!" Chu Ling Shuang nodded with a smile, then pointed to the entire building of Qizhen Pavilion and said, "This place gathers all the treasures of my Dragon City, and they can all be traded, but the prices are relatively high."
“I understand, I understand,” Sotun nodded repeatedly.
prior to.
He also felt that Xiao Yu's demand for him to trade five million worth of goods was too much.
But now, he feels that five million is too little!
"If Lord Sotun takes a fancy to anything, you can tell me," Chu Ling Shuang said with a smile.
“I’ve made up my mind!” Sotun pulled a crumpled piece of white paper and a charcoal pencil wrapped in animal hide from his sleeve.
These items were all purchased from a general store on the commercial street.
Ten sheets of fine white paper and two exquisite charcoal pencils cost only 100 yuan.
Honestly, Sotun thinks that goods in Dragon City are already very cheap.
After all, these things can't be bought outside.
The Lord of Dragon City could have easily raised the price on the spot, but he didn't!
This also made Sotun admire the young city lord.
“1. Jerusalem artichokes worth 150 million; 2. Corn cobs, tomatoes, cabbage and other vegetables, all added up to 150 million…” Sotun spread out the white paper, smoothed it out, and read it all out one by one, “and water and other daily necessities, all added up to 400 million.”
"With the remaining million, I want to buy some rare and precious herbs from the Treasure Pavilion."
When I was shopping in the mall before, Sotun had already made a note of which items were must-buys.
After calming down, he gave up the urge to buy two million ears of corn.
Instead, they chose Jerusalem artichokes, which offer the best value for money. Everyone had tried this at the food court. Although it can't compare to corn or tomatoes, it's sweet and sour and has its own unique flavor.
Most importantly, it can grow in the desert, making it perfect for the city of ruins.
As for Lung Shing's signature dishes such as corn, cabbage, and tomatoes, the quantity is relatively small.
“Okay!” Chu Ling Shuang also took out a small notebook and wrote down the other party’s requirements.
In just a few days, Jerusalem artichokes began to multiply rapidly again.
It seems to be spreading like wildfire again; now's a good time to clean it up...
"As for the treasures in this Rare Treasures Pavilion, I would like to buy 5 eggs, 1000 drops of Night-Shining Dew, 10 portions of Enhancement Medicine, and some milk, Bodhi Fruit, and mulberries..." After writing and drawing on the paper for a while, Sotun told Chu Ling Shuang what he wanted.
All of these things add up to exactly one million.
"Okay!" Chu Ling Shuang nodded. "When will the transaction take place?"
Although the two sides have reached an agreement, anything could happen before the deal is actually finalized.
Therefore, she must finalize the deal as soon as possible and get the five million.
“This…” Sotun looked somewhat embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Commander Chu, I came out in a hurry this time and only brought two million energy stones with me. I can pay two million in advance now, and I will go back to get the rest right now.”
"The balance can be paid in half an hour at most, what do you think?"
As he spoke, he gestured to Baldy and the others beside him, and handed two million energy stones to Chu Ling Shuang.
"Okay." Chu Ling Shuang nodded again, indicating that there was no problem.
She waved her hand, signaling the staff to take the energy stone.
Chu Ling Shuang herself found a thin piece of paper in her notebook and wrote down on it: "Received two million, payee: Lord of the East City of the Ruins, Sotun."
Then, carefully tearing off the paper, he handed it to Sotun and said, "This is the receipt!"
"Is it this professional?" Sotun took the paper, glanced at it, and asked in surprise.
He noticed a red stamp on the paper that read, "[Dragon City Lord's Mansion Official Seal]".
Sotun knew that before the apocalypse, there was something called a protocol.
But in the wasteland world now, nobody writes such things, and nobody takes agreements seriously.
Unexpectedly, the people of Longcheng took this very seriously.
This made Sotun feel even more that the Lord of Dragon City was like an ancient human!
"Commander Chu, I'll return to the City of Ruins now, but..."
After handing over two million energy stones, Sotun tentatively asked, "The Dragon City Lord promised me that we would be friends after the transaction was completed. He won't help the Xue family, will he?"
He went to great lengths to prepare for his power grab.
Whether it can succeed now depends entirely on the word of the Dragon City Lord.
Remembering what Xiao Yu had told her before, Chu Ling Shuang suppressed her laughter and solemnly assured him, "Yes! The City Lord said that he keeps his word and will never help the Xue family!"
"Now I can rest assured!"
Upon hearing this, Sotun breathed a sigh of relief.
"but..."
Just as Sotun breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Ling Shuang spoke again, "Although you are a friend of our city lord, and he promised not to help the Xue family, Xue Donglai is also his friend. Therefore, I hope City Lord Sotun won't go too far. If you are determined to wipe them out, then..."
"Please rest assured, Lord of Dragon City!"
Before Chu Ling Shuang could finish speaking, Sotun immediately assured her, his tone sincere, "Although I, Sotun, am not a good person, but... to seize the position of City Lord of the Ruins, I will definitely use fair and square means to defeat Xue Ye, and then take his place!"
I won't kill him unless absolutely necessary, and I certainly won't harm his children!
Previously, Sotun wouldn't have paid much attention to this.
Throughout history, in the rise and fall of dynasties and the succession of power, how could there not be many deaths?
But in the end, Sotun and Xueye were brothers who fought side by side in their youth.
However, now that they are older, their desire for power has become even stronger.
Snowy Night's health failed him, rendering him unable to protect the city of ruins, yet he refused to abdicate.
Sotun is in his prime, but now that he's reached the end of his life, he's naturally unwilling to remain subservient to others for long.
As long as he becomes the lord of the main city, it's not a big deal if he lets the Xue family go.
Sotun had this idea because, during a meal at the gourmet restaurant, in a slightly tipsy state, memories of his past battles alongside Lord Snow Night flashed through his mind, reminding him of his original aspirations.
Previously, Sotun only wanted to use Xiao Yu's Dragon City to achieve his own goals.
But now, he is truly grateful to Xiao Yu.
All my inner knots and obsessions were released with a glass of wine.
"In that case, let's have a pleasant collaboration!"
"It's a pleasure to cooperate! May the friendship between the City of Ruins and Dragon City last forever!"
