Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 757 - 732: Truly Remarkable? (Part 2)

If it weren’t for being chosen by the system, this kind of foolproof operation really would be doable by anyone who steps up.

Oh, wait, not like Mr. Li, who was arrogant and domineering just because he was powerful;

nor like my predecessor, Yellow Hair, who was easily controlled by his small head ruling the big one;

and certainly not those who, with a little influence in the company, formed cliques to bully honest people, or those sycophantic troublemakers.

When compared this way, it seems I do have a bit of an advantage, but not much. Jiang Yuan thought, binding a system for help but then losing track of who he was, floating without boundaries — that’s a bit foolish.

With the traitor caught red-handed and dealt with, City Lord Ming looked at the Bear Demons possibly involved but without evidence, and was momentarily at a loss.

One cannot wrong a good bear, but definitely cannot let a traitor go, otherwise if they stay hidden and collude inside out in other ways, it would lead to endless troubles! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Don’t think shouting your innocence loudly will get you off the hook." Jiang Yuan looked at the sky, almost dawn, and clearly City Lord Ming didn’t have the means to identify the traitor, so he checked the details one by one.

Then, pointing at the Angry Fire Bear roaring the loudest, he said, "You and that bear were in cahoots, taking turns keeping the Communication Stone, today he just had bad luck and got caught.

And this one, this one, and these few all have accomplices; additionally, that one over there and these two are informed but didn’t report. The rest are innocent, City Lord should release them."

"Thank you, sir, for clearing the confusion!" City Lord Ming, already in absolute admiration of him, trusted unconditionally whatever he said. Upon hearing him, she immediately ordered for the release of those who should be freed, and the arrest of those who should be captured, finally resolving the traitor issue.

Originally she wanted him to look at the Fire God Statue, but alas, to ensure no mishaps, the city’s craftsmen were progressing slowly, not yet fully prepared, so she’d have to surprise Mr. Jiang next time.

After discussing cooperation matters, Hou Ze still had to find buyers; Jiang Yuan wanted to try his luck at the Xin Huo Merchant Shop, so they each went their separate ways.

[Wilderness Ascension at Dawn]

As soon as he was transported to Trapped Snake Island, a system notification flashed through his vision at exactly six o’clock in the morning.

Simultaneously, the distant sound of the island’s melodic morning bell could be heard ringing.

"Wilderness Ascension! All passing traders, please ensure safety～" In a full-throated shout, white clouds billowed as mist encircled the docks, and the rolling lake waters began to rise.

A streak of rosy light unfolded from the east, giving the tiered and cornered ornate buildings of Trapped Snake Island a subtle golden hue.

Passing traders didn’t seem much affected, continuing their bustling demon and beast activities.

The head clerk of Xin Huo stood at the shop entrance, looking around briefly, before signaling over to a smiling demon cultivator guiding several large beasts towards him, "I’m still caught up right now.

I took a big order earlier, have to deliver over three hundred large crates to the dock for someone to pick up. I’ve been busy for half an hour and still many remain. Friend, see if there are others available, if not, I’ll come over once I’m done."

"Alright! You go ahead!" The head clerk responded with a happy greeting, continuing to look around.

Both morning and evening ascensions and descents in the Wilderness were when all the shops were busy transporting goods. Xin Huo, once massive, had their own transport beasts for easy and convenient delivery at any time.

Since the merchant shop officially passed into the hands of the Head Shopkeeper, through numerous upheavals over a century, those cumbersome goods that couldn’t fit into storage bags had to be carried by camel drivers.

Camel drivers who earned by transporting goods chose their jobs carefully, all preferring those shops with high volumes, and with no Fire Stones to trade, Xin Huo’s remaining flow simply couldn’t compete.

The head clerk watched as another familiar camel driver politely declined, sighed at the shop entrance.

"Excuse me, do you have goods that need transporting to the dock?" Jiang Yuan was just trying his luck, but noticing the urgency, he quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes! A total of thirty large crates, to the dock! Where’s your cargo beast?"

The head clerk looked around and saw no trace of a giant beast, showing a puzzled expression.

He smiled, "I don’t use giant beasts for transport, this is Miss Ruan’s token, recommending me to help your shop with a small task to earn some money."

"Hey! Miss Ruan’s fragrant spiral shell!" The head clerk immediately recognized it, anyone who could catch her eye and recommend must have exceptional abilities.

Nonetheless, some things needed clarification, and he gestured for him to enter the shop, "There are all kinds of strange goods on Trapped Snake Island, some items cannot be stored in storage bags. Take our urgently needed fuel, some would emit fire or toxic fumes, corroding the storage bag.

Storage bags are always more valuable the larger they are, storage for so many crates is priceless, if you damage it trying to earn three to five hundred Spirit Stones, our shop won’t compensate."

As he spoke, he observed the other party, the slender tall man with long arms and legs clearly couldn’t bear such heavy loads, the head clerk was very curious about what method he might use for transportation.

Jiang Yuan spoke truthfully, "I have a very special small space, impervious to toxic or fire fumes, allowing for quick and easy transport of goods. As long as your shop settles the payment promptly, I assure you it’ll be done faster and better than those camel drivers."

"If it were anyone else, I’d consider, but since you’re recommended by Miss Ruan, there’s no reason for delay? A total of thirty large crates, different items and weights, altogether 190 Spirit Stones, if you find it reasonable, transport the goods now, and we’ll settle the account immediately at the dock once verified!"
