Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up - Chapter 538 - 440: Hit the Jackpot!
Qianluo Shaman is ambitious.
She was accustomed to the feeling of holding great power and naturally would not be content to be just an ordinary laborer.
So, when she saw Linglong almost getting injured just now, she immediately realized her opportunity had come.
Indeed, reality turned out as she had anticipated.
Linglong suffered at the hands of the Gold Behemoths, and dared not approach the Behemoth crowd again, decisively delegating her power.
Then, she caught it!
Upon hearing Linglong’s words, Qianluo Shaman unhesitatingly said, "Thank you, Lord Linglong, for your trust. I will do my utmost and shall definitely not disappoint you!"
Qianluo Shaman had said these words to the Beast God countless times before.
Now, changing her allegiance, she surprisingly switched sides with ease, without any inner guilt.
Not only did Chief Buri and Remo beside her look on in amazement, but Qianluo Shaman herself found it quite strange.
She always thought she was devout to the Beast God.
Yet unexpectedly, she betrayed the Beast God so easily.
Qianluo Shaman was momentarily dazed.
Linglong did not know what Qianluo Shaman was thinking; seeing her being so sensible, she smiled faintly.
Linglong did not mind that Qianluo Shaman had ambition.
One who is ambitious and lives long.
This demonstrates a principle.
She is very capable.
Currently, Linglong has no one usable around her.
She badly needs capable people.
Chief Buri, watching from the side, almost doubted his own existence.
If he wasn’t mistaken, didn’t Qianluo Shaman just take his power?
Chief Buri gritted his teeth in hatred.
No wonder Qianluo Shaman looked disdainful when she told him to beware of the Beast God.
Turns out she was already preparing to change masters.
And she actually succeeded.
Chief Buri immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet, filled with deep regret.
If he had known Qianluo Shaman was plotting this, he would have stepped forward himself just now.
Now it’s all over.
The position he held for hundreds of years was snatched away by Qianluo Shaman in a blink.
Remo on the side had no concern.
He had already left the Behemoth tribe, now a Great Xia official.
Remo now fed by the court, working for the court.
Thus, regardless of whether Qianluo Shaman or Chief Buri became the chieftain of the Behemoth Race, it mattered little to Remo.
So, when Chief Buri cast a pleading glance at him, Remo could only helplessly shake his head.
In terms of emotion and reason, Remo no longer had a position to speak up.
After all, he must first be loyal to the Great Xia Empire, to the Zhao imperial family.
Not the Behemoth Race.
Linglong, still somewhat dazed, went straight to the point.
"As for the resettlement of the Gold Behemoths, the court has prepared three paths for you."
Upon hearing this, whether it was Qianluo Shaman, Chief Buri, or Remo, their expressions all turned solemn.
Linglong nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice, "The first path is to send you back to the original Half-Beastman World."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qianluo Shaman and Chief Buri shook their heads simultaneously.
"We won’t go back; we can swear allegiance to the Emperor of the Great Xia Empire!"
"We have decided to work for the Great Xia Empire, as long as we are provided with food."
Remo stood silently by the side.
No matter how Qianluo Shaman and Chief Buri chose, he would not leave.
His life here is better, with food and shelter.
Only a lunatic would go back to the Half-Beastman World to continue being exploited by the Beast God, starving and suffering!
Seeing Qianluo Shaman and Chief Buri shake their heads, Linglong gently nodded.
"Since you’re unwilling to leave, listen to the next two conditions."
After Linglong finished speaking, she turned to look at Remo, nodding with a smile, "Considering Remo’s influence, the court has waived your identity checks, you can directly join the Great Xia Workshop to work."
Upon hearing this, Remo immediately puffed up his chest in pride.
He was now a man of status!
Qianluo Shaman and Chief Buri had heard Remo talk about the Great Xia Empire’s assessment system.
Remo had dug mines for over a year and survived numerous crises to finally prove his loyalty to the Great Xia Empire, earning acceptance into the Brewing Workshop.
By a twist of fate, he brewed vinegar, then got promoted to the chief brewer of the palace.
Qianluo Shaman and Chief Buri were ready to mine, but unexpectedly Linglong waived this step for them.
The two immediately sent looks of appreciation and gratitude towards Remo.
Remo’s chest puffed even higher.
Linglong was short and couldn’t see the eye contact among the three of them.
She didn’t waste time and continued, "There are two remaining choices."
"The first is to work in major workshops; after completing three years of work, you will obtain the citizenship of the Great Xia Empire, enjoying the rights to receive land grants, serve as officials, and access to soak in the Spirit Lake and Spirit Pool."
"The second choice is to follow me to build the New Imperial City. This route gives you citizenship directly, but constructing the New Imperial City has a construction period requirement. If you don’t complete the New Imperial City within the specified time, your citizen status will be revoked. Moreover, each day the construction is delayed, your work period is extended by a year. If the delay exceeds ten days, you will be directly sent back to the original world."
Upon hearing this, expressions of hesitation appeared simultaneously on the faces of Qianluo Shaman and Chief Buri.
By normal selection, the first option is certainly more suitable.
Remo followed this path.
He worked in the mines for years before ultimately obtaining citizenship in the empire.
If there was no second option, Qianluo Shaman and Chief Buri would definitely choose the first one.
However, the second option offers direct citizenship.
This means they can enjoy the benefits and treatment of citizens three years early.
Chief Buri thought of the Spirit Pool he had soaked in before and the endless supply of food, clenching his fists unconsciously.
"We’ll choose the second..."
Before Chief Buri could finish his sentence, Qianluo Shaman suddenly interrupted him.
Qianluo Shaman was indeed more meticulous.
She tentatively asked Linglong, "Lord Linglong, do you know the duration of the New Imperial City’s construction period?"
Qianluo Shaman had previously seen the general scale of the New Imperial City.
The New Imperial City covers an extremely large area, even bigger than the Beast King City of the Beast God.
One must know that the Beast King City accommodates millions of Half-Beastmen.
The human race is far smaller in size than Half-Beastmen.
The construction area of the Great Xia Empire’s New Imperial City is even larger than the Beast King City.
How many people does the Great Xia Empire have?
It was by seeing this that Qianluo Shaman resolutely changed her allegiance.
Qianluo Shaman estimated roughly in her mind.
As long as they have enough to eat, they can keep working without rest or sleep.
Given the scale of the New Imperial City, it would take at least a month to complete.
So, Qianluo Shaman planned to inquire.
If Linglong set the time at more than a month, she would agree to undertake it.
But anything less than a month wouldn’t do.
Upon hearing Qianluo Shaman’s questions, Linglong quickly calculated in her mind and ultimately gave a timeframe she considered to be the limit.
"How about a year, do you think?"
