Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 743 - 721: Driving Out Fire, Devouring Fire

"Sir, you are the savior of our Furious Fire Bear Race!" Ming Qingyan bowed deeply upon hearing these words, his eyes slightly red with emotion.

In order to sell the Firestone at a reasonable price, only the heavens know how much effort and pressure he and his subordinates endured. In previous years, there were disputes over interests that led to conflicts, leaving him with old injuries that are still unhealed.

But the citizens don’t care about this; they only look at the results.

The painstakingly mined Firestone didn’t sell at a high price, and without understanding the causes, they simply blamed the City Lord and the stewards for lack of capability, clamoring that if they couldn’t do the job, someone else should become City Lord.

But when it actually came to setting up a stage to elect a new City Lord, no one dared to step up to the challenge.

Summing it up in one sentence—it’s hard to manage a poor family!

He had to mediate between the various forces;

He had to find ways for the citizens to live relatively stable lives;

He had to guard against inner traitors and prevent external intrusions. He did all the hard and thankless work yet had to bear the burden of blame. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been forced by public opinion to make the decision to restart the Earth Fire.

Now, finally, the savior has arrived.

From now on, there is no need to fear the Cold Poison; the mindset of seeing danger in every shadow and getting by day to day will gradually disappear, instilling a more stable public sentiment, with everyone working towards a better life, which naturally reduces the chance for opportunists to exploit the situation;

If Earth Fire Essence appears again, there will be no need to delay by hindering its mining; if Mr. Jiang can help find a new path and no longer be choked by unscrupulous merchants, there’s more hope for better rewards through hard work!

"Let me first check the quality of the Firestone while sending a video to my friends with the Memory Stone." Jiang Yuan heard that this item can’t be stored in a Storage Bag because it contains too much fire energy, which could wear out or even burn the bag, and he was a bit skeptical of this claim.

Those are ordinary storage bags, crafted from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. My Storage Bag is configured by the system!

[Level Three Firestone +1]

Sure enough, he mined a piece effortlessly on the spot and stored it in his Storage Bag with ease, proving the quality of the system product to be reliable.

Isn’t that convenient? After reaching Level Seven, the space in the Storage Bag has greatly expanded!

Not only does it have 108 storage slots, but each slot can hold up to 999 items instead of the previous full capacity of 99. It also connects with the home Storage Box, warehouse, and the national granary, making it easy to transport items!

Sell those goods and earn Spirit Stones which can be used to build a direct Teleportation Array.

Once the path is complete, selling goods or calling for reinforcements when necessary will be much more convenient.

In this way, the townspeople of Sand Hill City can live and work in peace without having to relocate, and the source of important materials remains secure.

In the near future, a steady stream of Silver-foot Snow Underworld insects will be gathered, turning into one Resurrection Talisman after another.

This is a definite win-win situation!

Moreover, with the major act of offering help during a difficult time, along with the continued provision of Elixirs and Capture Nets, dual efforts will firmly bind this resource-based city to the same ship.

Although it is still unclear what benefits controlling Firestone mining resources in the Wilderness World will bring, having them is better than not, so let’s secure it first and then talk.

Jiang Yuan then carefully recorded a video of the Firestone and sent it to Bai Yunqi.

During the last side quest, the City Lord of Carefree City dealt mostly with the contract pet and Xie Chenyuan, so having them negotiate on behalf of Sand Hill City seems more suitable for cooperation.

Quickly finding the Abnormal Fire and finding a way to deal with it; then releasing the Ice Flame and Earth Spirit Flame to devour the Earth Fire will allow the Sky Pit to reopen for mining, and once the resource-based city is fully operational, it will likely start to generate wealth rapidly.

The bottom area of the pit is vast and filled with intense Earth Fire, requiring careful inspection by both man and bear;

On another front, the dungeon enthusiast Bai Yunqi had just entered the Flood Dragon Tomb when he received a message transmitted by the Venerable Family. He immediately teleported out with Xie Chenyuan, each using a Teleportation Talisman to instantly arrive at Carefree City.

Training is certainly important, but the Venerable Family’s orders take precedence!

Since he wants to help the Demon Cultivators in Sand Hill City, forming a Good Karma, and has entrusted the most crucial part to himself, he must execute the task flawlessly.

He first inquired from several shop owners about the fuel they use and then sought out stores specializing in various fuel materials to ask about prices and compare advantages and disadvantages.

After getting a basic understanding, a coincidence was discovered—Gongxi Yanchang, as the City Lord, had convenient access and was involved in the most profitable businesses in the city.

But in the vast Carefree City with tens of thousands of shops, not a single trace of Firestone could be found.

Bai Yunqi discovered that the most commonly used fuel here was a type of Golden Silk Carbon, which had a similar efficacy to the Level Three Firestone mentioned by the Venerable Family, yet their prices were worlds apart.

The Firestone from Sand Hill City was being suppressed by unscrupulous merchants; one Spirit Stone could buy twenty pieces of Level Three Firestone, whereas in the shops of Carefree City, the price for equivalently high-quality Golden Silk Carbon was one Spirit Stone for two pieces of Carbon.

"The fuel industry in Carefree City has long been established, and trying to break into the market now does require some time, but the Bear Demons of Sand Hill City can’t afford to wait any longer; a stick and a sweet date are needed..." Jiang Yuan frowned slightly upon seeing Bai Yunqi’s timely "market research" feedback.

Lately, there haven’t been other major expenses. Exchanging Spirit Stones, retailing toxins at Floating Markets, the runes from Yun Shuhua, and occasional transactions of Spirit Fruits with Miss Qi’s friends, have all added up. The Spirit Stone account has just crossed the fifteen million threshold.

Withdrawing five million Spirit Stones to purchase at a relatively reasonable price. Firstly, it allows City Lord Ming to distribute money to the citizens to get by without having to wait too long; secondly, if they can sell at a good price and open up the market, it will be a hard-earned profit.
