This lord’s fief is situated among the Endless Forest, Black Shadow Mountain Range, and Abyss Swamp, frequently invaded by magic beasts from these three areas.
There aren’t many residents left within the territory; perhaps only a dozen families remain.
The reason why this territory has managed to hold out until now is because the lord persistently fights. Such a lord is comndable.
Once the task is completed, the territory can just be returned to the other party. Before the task, consider it a transaction.
Si Lingle set out for Lord Chang Hong’s fief, taking over a month to arrive. Upon arrival, coincidentally, magic beasts were attacking Hong City.
Si Lingle, along with Condensed Flower and the others, charged into the beast horde.
Lord Chang Hong raised his eyebrows as he watched these few suddenly appear; they were quite strong.
With the addition of Si Lingle and his group, the magic beast horde was quickly defeated.
Since these magic beasts weren’t strong, Si Lingle didn’t capture any to use as summoned beasts.
Lord Chang Hong approached, looking solemn, and said, "Thank you all for your help."
Si Lingle spoke up, "Lord Chang Hong, I have business to discuss with you."
"Please enter the city for a detailed discussion," Lord Chang Hong said, leading Si Lingle into the city.
Once inside, the city was in ruins. After a long walk, they finally saw a dilapidated pharmacy and an inn.
The store might have been opened for travelers visiting nearby to complete tasks.
Upon reaching the Lord Mansion, there was an elderly gatekeeper and a cook; no one else was present.
"There’s only coarse tea, I hope you don’t mind," Lord Chang Hong said. "I wonder what kind of business you wish to discuss, young friend?"
Si Lingle replied, "I want to be the lord, for at most one year. After a year, the lordship will be returned to you. During this year, I can renovate Hong City..."
The terms Si Lingle offered were quite good, and Lord Chang Hong agreed.
The two signed a contract. After signing, Lord Chang Hong beca the steward of the Lord Mansion, and Si Lingle beca the city lord.
After becoming the city lord, the first thing Si Lingle did was purchase renovation prop cards from the mall, which weren’t cheap at one thousand gold coins each. For Lord Chang Hong, one thousand gold coins was nearly two to three years’ inco for Hong City, so he never got around to renovating it.
If not for his own strong power, Hong City would have long been overrun by magic beasts.
Si Lingle wasn’t short on money, buying thirty renovation cards to refurbish the entirety of Hong City, with all buildings and shops becoming new.
Once the building was completed, Si Lingle began setting up a large defensive formation.
After arranging everything, Si Lingle instructed Lei Lie to take so aliens and find so residents to return.
No matter how good a city is, it needs people to live in it. They needed to bring back more people.
A few days later, Si Lingle received a ssage from Cui Yun; they had captured the other five people and asked where she was so they could bring those people over.
Cui Yun and the others thought that since they had been contracted, why should the remaining five wander free? Naturally, they should endure hardships together.
The five had no defense and were directly subdued by Cui Yun and others.
After knowing Si Lingle’s location, Cui Yun’s group brought the uncontracted five to Hong City.
After Si Lingle contracted them, Cui Yun asked Si Lingle how she captured the city.
Knowing that Si Lingle used a transactional thod, Cui Yun thought this approach was good.
Seizing it would deplete military strength, and although they had money to donate, they didn’t want to give it away for nothing.
The transactional thod wouldn’t cost a million, saving a lot of money.
After leaving Hong City, Cui Yun and others searched for other city lords willing to trade, following Si Lingle’s thod.
However, there weren’t many cities like Hong City; many cities were still prosperous, so they wouldn’t do trades.
If trading wasn’t possible, then they could only seize them.
Cui Yun thought, since he was Si Lingle’s slave anyway, shouldn’t she, as the master, help a little?
So he contacted Si Lingle, asking her to send so summoned beasts to help him seize a city.
Si Lingle didn’t even bother to respond to Cui Yun; if he didn’t complete his task, then so be it if he died. A useless slave didn’t need to be kept.
Cui Yun didn’t expect Si Lingle to be so ruthless, even as a child.
Without getting help, Cui Yun could only search for a pass order first. As for the territory, they’d take it one step at a ti.
Half a year passed in a blink of an eye. Under Si Lingle’s construction, the population of Hong City increased. Now, Hong City had more than five hundred people.
