Transmigrator's Guide to Conquering Another World-Chapter 469 - 433: Dihua—You’re the Master After All

If the first time he choked it was because he was caught off guard.

Then the second time Ma Ning choked, it was purely due to surprise and delight.

Yang Bolin's words were clear:

We will use some of our cities as the final payment, instead of Spirit Stones!

And it's most likely some cities surrounding Chixian City!

At this very moment.

Even though Ma Ning was unable to communicate effectively with the Fire Camp.

He could still thump his chest and guarantee that everyone around the camp monitor only had one thought:

Agree!

Whoever disagrees is a fool!

To know.

After arriving in the Damo Realm, there has always been a problem plaguing the command center:

That is, the territory is too small!

Indeed.

For the rabbits, it is not difficult to establish one or several cities in the Damo Realm.

But this so-called 'not difficult' is actually a statement from a relatively long-term perspective.

After all, this is not something like a strategy game like Heroes' City or Seven Warring States, where you can simply move an icon and spend some tokens to speed things up.

Based on the scale of Chixian City.

The area covering sixteen square kilometers, plus various main buildings, city defense, roads, and other facilities.

To truly start construction and renovation, it would take at least several months or even longer.

After all, the Damo Realm is currently in a highly confidential state, and it's impossible to bring in too many technical workers.

As for the local conversion of migrant workers, it's also very difficult, and experience takes time to accumulate—being a worker is not easy, especially in technical jobs for large projects.

Building on your own is difficult, so the remaining option is to take the initiative.

But after the command center looked around at the densely populated cities on the map, it became difficult.

Firstly, to take the initiative, you need at least a pretext, right?

Either someone attacks you first and you counterattack in self-defense, or a city is so heinous that you act on behalf of justice.

If you attack mindlessly without any reason, wouldn't that be aggression (homophonic to avoid censorship)?

Back when the Mo Family of Sheepback City had both conditions, which is why the rabbits smoothly took over Sheepback City.

However, in the Damo Realm, it's honestly hard to find a family as extremely oppressive as the Mo Family; most cities have some forethought.

They're about the level that has a dark side and oppression but not enough to be immediately exterminated.

The Mo Family had at least a few good people, not to mention other cities.

Of course.

The rabbits, after searching, also found a few cities that were just like the Paradox Interactive players, deserving of immediate execution.

Unfortunately, the geographical location of these cities is usually very special, connected to multiple other cities.

Once the rabbits send out troops, they will largely expose their existence.

You should know.

This is something the rabbits have always tried to avoid.

Take, for example, the battle at Xiaolianzi Mountain.

The command center specifically chose to depart at midnight and took hundreds of kilometers of detour to reach the battlefield.

On the return, they left the logistics team to clean up, using chemical means to eliminate the tracks.

Also, for the many aircraft that have taken flight these days.

Whether it's the Z-10 attack helicopter or the Y-20 transport aircraft, their take-off locations had no human settlements within eighty kilometers.

During the flight, they maintained a very high cruising altitude at all times.

To say that no outsider noticed in these months is unrealistic; some people have noticed and even tried to track the aircraft.

But with radar assistance and the combination of high-altitude, high-speed flight, others could hardly pursue more than a few steps before giving up.

It's like when you occasionally look up and see a plane fly overhead but can't determine where it's coming from or going, beyond understanding.

However, those cities are different; both ground and air forces will be spotted during their progress.

Not to mention building roads to achieve strategic links and the like.

Considering all these factors, the rabbits' expansion idea was thus stuck.

Of course.

Currently, due to their own development, territorial expansion isn't a critical timely issue.

But strategically speaking.

Having a coherent regional force is definitely better than a single city.

So Yang Bolin's suggestion was just like a pillow delivered when sleepy, perfectly fitting.

Then Ma Ning forcibly restrained his excitement, putting on a slightly frowning look:

"Cities replacing Spirit Stones?

Shopkeeper Yang, isn't this different from what we previously discussed?"

Facing Ma Ning's somewhat pressing attitude, Yang Bolin appeared quite calm.

He simply smiled with a face saying he has seen through the truth, and said:

"Shopkeeper Ma, the resources your side has bought from Ziqiong City these days aren't a small amount, are they?

The last time was over forty thousand Spirit Stones, and the time before last was over seventy thousand Spirit Stones..."

Watching Yang Bolin list the total costs of resources the rabbits previously purchased, Ma Ning couldn't help but wrinkle his brows further:

"Shopkeeper Yang, your meaning is...?"

Yang Bolin gave him a glance full of meaning:

"Shopkeeper Ma, if I'm not mistaken.....

The Wei Family of Chixian City was probably a pawn your side set up early on, wasn't it?"

Hearing this, Ma Ning was stunned:

"Ah?"

Ma Ning's daze was an expression of inner confusion, but in Yang Bolin's eyes, it became an unintended reveal of the truth.

Thus, his confidence increased a bit more:

"Shopkeeper Ma, to speak frankly.

Facing such an important client as you, the Purple Treasure Pavilion can't help but put in some effort, you understand my meaning?

After our patriarch successfully crossed the Nascent Soul Tribulation, I specifically spent some time reviewing files, discovering that the origins of Chixian City are quite special."

Seeing Ma Ning still in a bit of a daze, Yang Bolin took out a file from his Spatial Bag and continued:

"Chixian City, constructed over one hundred and seventy years ago by Wei Siming, Cheng Shiqing, and seven others.

At that time, the area where Chixian City is located was under the name of the Feng Family of Celestial Overpass City, so the land deed was signed by both parties.

However, Celestial Overpass City was breached by a beast wave over sixty years ago, so naturally, the land deed became void.

According to the archives.

The time of appearance of Wei Siming and others is not detailed, and limited entry records in several subordinate cities show Wei Siming and others with strange language and attire, differing from the central region's style, which is why they were documented.

But after further analysis by myself.

Wei Siming and the others, though faced many setbacks, had a strong sense of purpose in their actions, with insight far beyond that of ordinary mortals.

For instance, they started with an Iron Refining Workshop, and used a technique called 'distilled liquor' to exchange for the cultivation methods of the Damo Realm, eventually establishing Chixian City."

Moreover, according to the archives.

Wei Siming was fond of traveling and always carried a Memory Stone, even being penalized for recording images during a demonic blockade.

It was as if they were carrying out some tasks..."

Saying this, Yang Bolin couldn't help but take another deep look at Ma Ning:

"Wei Siming's many actions clearly showed preparedness, aiming to gather more information from the central region.

Furthermore, according to some information I received.

It seems that some tribes behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range experienced some changes, thus trying to increase connections with the southern region.

So, Shopkeeper Ma.

Wei Siming and his fellows were likely direct descendants nurtured by your nobles from the start, on a distinct path from Body Refining, deliberately sent to probe the southern region, right?

Chixian City was also not built by the missing tribal members you mentioned, but was a well-placed....

pawn!"

Afterward, Yang Bolin gracefully stroked his beard:

"Shopkeeper Ma, I do not know, nor do I wish to inquire what happened behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range with your side.

Or what formidable enemy you encountered.

However, analyzing based on the materials your side purchased and the maneuvers set during this period.

Your side should be migrating clansmen to the southern region, and likely have a large number of clansmen not following Body Refining, rather intending to choose the path of Spiritual Energy cultivation.

A tribe capable of helping our patriarch cross the Nascent Soul Tribulation probably has a population of no less than a million, right?

With such a large population, your side inevitably needs a lot of cities or rather...

a base of operations!"

You all misunderstood, tomorrow you have to leave a message in a post in the comment section, you can see the post now, not in this chapter's comments.

Also, for fan value of 5001 and 9999, both are steward levels, so having a steward title doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a fan badge, just letting everyone know to avoid misunderstandings later.
