Black Fla City.
The three Deputy City Lords gathered together to discuss matters.
Jia Jicheng, in charge of comrce, a 33rd-stage Chaos Dominator.
Di You, in charge of military affairs, a 35th-stage Chaos Dominator.
Sima Yuan, in charge of political affairs, a 34th-stage Chaos Dominator.
Sima Yuan spoke first, "Old Jia, you have a good relationship with the new City Lord. Tell us your thoughts."
Jia Jicheng said, "As you all likely know, the new City Lord is a high-level Artifact Refining Master. My new Dominator Artifact was personally forged by him. So, in reality, City Lord Seven Stars is not lacking in Chaos Jade. Therefore, the rewards he ntioned can basically be fulfilled!"
He first confird the feasibility of the rewards.
Sima Yuan nodded and looked at Di You, "Di You, has the current number of recomnded individuals t the requirents?"
Di You explained, "This Kalpa is already four-fifths over, but the number of recomnded individuals is currently only 230,000. Based on past situations, around 290,000-plus will likely et the requirents in the end, barely achieving the target."
Sima Yuan said, "This ti, our Black Fla City successfully wiped out the Scavenger tide. For a long ti, there won't be any Scavenger attacks, drastically reducing our defensive pressure. Because of this, we can recomnd a large portion of our standing army to the Second Frontline!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Jia Jicheng and the other man changed.
Di You frowned, "Maintaining a million-strong army is Black Fla City's rule!"
Sima Yuan waved his hand, "I know about this matter. It's not Black Fla City's rule, it's the Old City Lord's rule. Now that the new City Lord has taken office, rules can be changed. We can apply to City Lord Seven Stars. If he agrees, this ti we might be able to earn an imnse amount of Chaos Jade!"
Hearing this, Jia Jicheng suddenly grew excited, "Hiss... Now that you ntion it, I feel like we could earn a truly massive amount!"
Sima Yuan looked at Di You, "Brother Di You, how many qualified soldiers can we pull out?"
Di You sighed, "Although the Old City Lord didn't manage affairs, he provided a lot of funding. The number of 29th-stage soldiers he cultivated is probably the highest among all cities. Within the million-strong army, there are a total of one hundred thousand 29th-stage soldiers!"
"So many!" Jia Jicheng was greatly shocked.
"Many are in secluded cultivation and don't show themselves normally. They appeared during the previous Scavenger siege."
Jia Jicheng nodded. He knew many 29th-stage and even 30th-stage soldiers had appeared on the battlefield, but he hadn't counted them at the ti. Now, thinking back and counting them one by one, the number really was over one hundred thousand.
"If we include them, wouldn't we be able to increase the number by thirty-three percent?" Jia Jicheng gasped in astonishnt.
"Indeed!" Di You confird.
"One percent is ten thousand Kalpa units, so what is thirty-three percent?" Jia Jicheng was dumbfounded.
"I heard there's no upper limit? That would be 85 trillion Kalpa units!" Sima Yuan said hesitantly.
Jia Jicheng shook his head, "That calculation thod must be wrong. How could it keep doubling like that? If it did, we couldn't accept such an astronomical sum either!"
"Let's try submitting an application!" Sima Yuan said. "First, let's ask for City Lord Seven Stars' opinion!"
"Agreed!"
The three imdiately co-signed and transmitted the ssage to Su Yuan.
When Su Yuan received the ssage from the three, he was directly dumbstruck.
He did a careful calculation. If he followed the thod proposed by the three Deputy City Lords, the reward Black Fla City would get this ti really would be 85 trillion.
However, Su Yuan quickly spotted a flaw. The current number was 230,000. Adding these one hundred thousand only made 330,000.
The three of them considered that the natural increase from other city residents would be around 60,000, but they didn't account for the fact that precisely because they defeated the Scavenger siege, many people had already left Black Fla City. So, the subsequent natural increase would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the actual achievable figure might only be ten percent. Even that would be a huge sum of ten million Kalpa units.
"Did I get the calculation thod wrong?"
Su Yuan imdiately took out the City Lord's token to check, and then he realized he had indeed overthought it.
Because the pattern was ten thousand, twenty thousand, forty thousand, eighty thousand, one hundred twenty thousand, two hundred thousand, and so on.
Although he felt a bit tricked, this was more reasonable.
So, in reality, if there was a ten percent increase, it would only be 1.36 million Kalpa units.
This amount was not small, but it wasn't excessively huge either.
Su Yuan considered for a mont and replied to the three, "Proceed according to your thod. However, don't think you can obtain too much Chaos Jade. The calculation thod needs correction. Based on current estimates, you should be able to obtain 1.36 million Kalpa units."
After receiving Su Yuan's reply, Jia Jicheng and the other two were not disappointed but overjoyed.
If the previously calculated 85 trillion Chaos Jade was too outrageous for them to dare hope for, this 1.36 million Kalpa units instead made them feel there was hope of obtaining it.
If they could get their hands on this, they would be rich!
After receiving Su Yuan's approval, the three imdiately began mobilizing the 29th-stage soldiers within their respective armies, suggesting they proceed to the Second Frontline.
The three Deputy City Lords were uncharacteristically generous this ti. All soldiers choosing to go to the Second Frontline would receive a subsidy of 1 Kalpa unit!
The sheer size of this reward excited all the soldiers imnsely. Even though this subsidy might be paid with a delay, the city governnt's credibility was still acceptable. Moreover, with Alliance system verification, it couldn't be faked.
Almost all soldiers agreed to this choice. They had long wanted to go to the Second Frontline. Now they could even get a severance paynt, which was naturally perfect.
Seeing this situation, Jia Jicheng called for the other two Deputy City Lords.
"I propose we issue invitations to the Dominators within Black Fla City who et the conditions. If they agree to join Black Fla City, beco Black Fla City soldiers, and agree to go to the Second Frontline, they can also be given a subsidy of 1 Kalpa unit. What do you think?"
Jia Jicheng stated his proposal.
"This is a great idea! I'm afraid delays might lead to changes. If the policy is anded, we might not get the reward anymore. It's better to increase this number as much as possible within a short ti. I suspect there will be a ti limit later. Otherwise, if so people engage in underhanded manipulation, the reward amount could beco extrely exaggerated!" Sima Yuan imdiately said.
"Ti limit!" Hearing this, Jia Jicheng nodded. "Indeed, judging from the ssage the City Lord gave, it didn't ntion an end date for this event. That ans it could end at any ti. We need to reach a higher number in a short ti, locking in the reward first!"
Once the three agreed on the plan, they imdiately issued a city-wide announcent.
Travelers, rchants, residents, and outsiders who saw Black Fla City's official announcent spread the news far and wide.
"Has Black Fla City struck it rich? Giving away money like this? Hurry and sign up, it'll be gone if you're late! A compensation of 1 Kalpa unit is too tempting!"
