The news of Wildman Valley's allegiance to the Great Dragon Empire quickly spread throughout Karachi City.
The ones most concerned about this news were the private owners who had invested in the Crystal Stone Mines.
"Have you heard? Wildman Valley has submitted to the Great Dragon Empire."
"Jino City Lord has already reconciled with the Wildman King and accepted his allegiance."
"From now on, mining in that forest will not be freely allowed; one must obtain the Wildman King's consent, as he holds jurisdiction."
"There's also a huge explosive news, Wildman Valley Mine plans to solicit outside investnts, with the first batch offering ten mining sites."
"Damn, so what happens to the mines we previously invested in?"
"What do you think? Tang Qian's five hundred rcenaries were annihilated overnight, even Jino City Lord had to concede so ground."
"It is said that the Wildman King controls hundreds of thousands of Demon Beasts in the Primitive Forest, just think about how terrifying that is!"
...
After the initial shock, slowly, everyone accepted the reality that their previous investnts in mining at Wildman Valley had been in vain.
Thus, more people began to eye the new investnt opportunities.
"Comrcial solicitation? What are the terms?"
"I heard it's private mine owners leasing the mines, can receive profits from three cities, 20% goes to the Great Dragon Empire, and fifty percent to Wildman Valley."
"I'm telling you, now for mining you don't even need to spend on exploration or drilling, just mine in the pre-existing mines, it's guaranteed profit."
...
Consequently, a massive number of people started to reconsider how to qualify for the investnt solicitation.
Overnight, hundreds went to Jino City Lord Mansion to apply for mining rights.
Jino sent a ssage:
"The mining area of Wildman Valley belongs to the Wildman King, not under Jino City Lord's jurisdiction, those who wish to apply for mining, should contact the Wildman King."
"But, where do we find the Wildman King?"
"Everyone, please be patient for one day, tomorrow there will be a news conference in Karachi City announcing the allegiance of Wildman Valley to the Great Dragon Empire. After the conference, everyone can directly apply to the Wildman King for mining rights, oh, the first batch open for external investnt includes about ten mine sites, each with about ten mining shafts."
"Damn, only ten mine sites?!"
The crowd instantly went wild.
Whether it was those who had failed in their earlier investnts or those who now wanted to join anew, all were looking for connections hoping to secure a spot in the first batch of partnerships.
Suddenly, Karachi City saw a convergence of rich moguls, many private mine owners rushed from their respective mines to attend the news conference the next day, aiming to secure mining investnt rights.
This was indeed a business opportunity with no loss, a thousand already-drilled mining shafts were there, just bring people over and you could start mining imdiately.
...
The news conference announcing Wildman Valley's allegiance to the Great Dragon Empire was held as scheduled in the square of Karachi City.
The Wildman King represented the Wildman tribes, and Jino City Lord represented the Great Dragon Empire, both seated on the main stage.
Additionally, accompanying them were shareholders such as Yang Xiao, David, Elder Qin, and so official and civilian representatives from Jino City, like Long Wei who now commands the Pegasus Empire's territory, chess Grandmaster Xue Rong, and wealthy Mr. Huang, among others.
David and Elder Qin were deeply emotional for being able to sit on the main podium at such an important eting for the first ti.
Both felt lucky to have t Yang Xiao, a benefactor, who would catapult them to the top tier of the wealthiest on Purple Origin Star, even making them moderate tycoons back on Witch Star.
The King of the Wildn, as a legendary hero, was adored by many, with thousands rushing to the square just to catch a glimpse of his elegance.
The King of the Wildn first declared on behalf of the Wildn tribe that Wildman Valley would henceforth submit to the Great Dragon Empire, fulfilling the obligations of a citizen of the Empire, and stand with the Great Dragon Empire in foreign wars.
Jino announced that the Primitive Forest of Wildman Valley would beco a territory of the Great Dragon Empire on Purple Origin Star, under the protection of the Great Dragon Empire, and no individual or organization was allowed to attack Wildman Valley, otherwise, they would be pursued by the Great Dragon Empire.
Both signed a docunt and kept a video recording of the scene as proof.
The eting went smoothly.
Subsequently, Yang Xiao, on behalf of the King of the Wildn, announced the news of tendering the mines in the Primitive Forest of Wildman Valley, stating that those willing to invest in mining should queue for registration. After passing a qualification review and paying a deposit of one hundred million Crystal Coins, they could enter the designated mining area of Wildman Valley.
As a result, at least two hundred people lined up to register.
Yang Xiao and Qin Lu were responsible for registering the information, with Xingyun Piaoxue helping out with miscellaneous tasks.
Jino City Lord held a welcoming banquet for the King of the Wildn, a joyous occasion marking the end of decades of conflict.
Huang Mi pestered Yang Xiao,
"Master Yang, I invested in five mines in Wildman Valley last ti, and they were all destroyed overnight, causing heavy losses. Please help out this ti, give five mines. Rest assured, with my years of mining experience, I'll comply with your arrangents and ensure your satisfaction."
Yang Xiao, left with no choice, granted five mines.
Together with the ten mines given to Xingyun Piaoxue and ten for external tender, a total of twenty-five mines were released.
There were still many people seeking various connections hoping to obtain mining licenses, all of whom were rejected by Yang Xiao.
Jino City Lord, to report the favor Yang Xiao privately granted him ten mines, took the initiative and said:
"Yang Xiao, I heard from David that you have about a dozen brothers who ca from Earth with you, and they are still working as miners?"
"Yes, Lord Jino, they are currently temporarily transferred from Station Chief Dai to help manage the mines. I heard from Station Chief Dai that applying for a Witch Star ID for them would take at least three years and requires queuing. Ah, it's really troubling."
"Oh, in that case, I have a batch of talent residency quotas available recently. Excellent miners can directly obtain Witch Star citizenship. Let Station Chief Dai submit the information of your brothers, and I'll process them all as talent residency,
such a big favor, I've been the City Lord for twenty years, and this is the first ti I've done this for you."
"Ah, thank you, Lord Mayor, I, Yang Xiao, will never forget your kindness. After Xingyun Piaoxue gets the hang of managing the mines, I'll allocate another five to him. So many mines, does it matter who develops them?"
"Haha, Master Yang, I like such clever and flexible young people like you. It's a pity I don't have a daughter; otherwise, I would have definitely married her to you."
"Hehe...."
The next morning, Yang Xiao, along with the King of the Wildn, David, Qin Lu, and others, left Karachi City on a spaceship. After dropping David off at his base, they returned to Wildman Valley.
Three days later, Xingyun Piaoxue, with the first batch of a hundred miners, entered Yang Xiao's mining base, followed by Elder Huang bringing another hundred miners.
Additionally, ten miners who obtained the mining licenses also brought their crews.
Accompanying Elder Huang was a young, refined gentleman whom Yang Xiao had t at the Karachi City Go competition, Elder Huang's son, Huang Mi.
Elder Huang brought Huang Mi to Yang Xiao,
"Master Yang, this is my son, Huang Mi. I've brought him here to learn from you. You are all young, and it's good to get along together. I hope you'll take good care of him in the future."
Huang Mi not only had an elegant deanor but also a beautiful appearance, red lips, and white teeth; if dressed as a woman, he would rival Ming Yue, Leia, or Ah Rui, which stirred sothing in Yang Xiao's heart, hardly believing Huang Mi was a man.
Following Huang Mi were two young won, presumably her maids, however, these two maids evidently had high cultivations, showing a strong aura.
