Chapter 119- Asking For A Astronomical Price
Cheng Yang said, “Fine, you don’t need to disband your force. How about we do it like this, didn’t you say there are tens of thousands of professions in your territory? Then let each person hand over 50 points of power value. Assuming that you have 50,000 professions in your territory, that adds up to 2.5 million points of power value. We’ll round that up, so that will be 3 million. That should be easy for you to gather.”
Yuan Jianze was taken aback, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood, he yelled, “Why don’t you just rob us?”
Cheng Yang was very calm, he smiled and said, “I am robbing you? Wasn’t it you who tried to rob , first? This instance portal was first discovered by , but you wanted to relied on numbers to snatch it away from . Since that didn’t work you are now accusing of robbing you, don’t you feel embarrassed?”
Did Yuan Jianze’s face turned red? No, it wasn’t red at all, it was already turning black.
“Asking for 3 million points of power value is too much. My main city don’t even have 50,000 professions, and the average person can only earn around 10 points per day. That’s barely enough for their daily expenses, so how can they possibly co up with 50 points of power value?” As far as possible Yuan Jianze tried to make his tone gentle.
Cheng Yang looked at him with disdain, his eyes clearly portrayed that he thinks the other side was too weak. Afterwards, Cheng Yang stated, “If 3 million is too much, then make it 2 million. I won’t ask you to pay it all at once, paying it in installnts is fine. Even if you don’t have 50,000 professions, there should be at least 30,000, right? Make each person co up with 10 points of power value each day, making it a total of 300,000 points per day. You can pay it all off in seven days with that rate. As for the extra 100,000 points, count it as interest.”
Yuan Jianze’s face was still gloomy, he said, “2 million points of power value is still too much. The most I can give you is 500,000, and this also have to be pay in installnts. Although I am the commander, I can’t just force all of the professions to hand over their power value.”
Cheng Yang was able to understand Yuan Jianze’s dilemma, after all, his commander identity was what his status was before the end. However, since he didn’t get the approval of the rules, fundantally speaking, he doesn’t possessed the authority to order the other professions. The reason why he could currently sit in his position of commander now was due to the help of his group of soldiers and his beforehand prestige. But if he were to give the order for all of the professions to have over their daily harvest of power value, most likely people wouldn’t obey this order with his commander identity.
Cheng Yang had a look of struggle of his face, but inside he was nothing but smiles. After all, his main purpose wasn’t this 500,000 points of power value. This unexpected wealth he obtained could definitely speed up the developnt of Luo Feng Village.
“500,000 points of power value is indeed too little, but I don’t want to embarrass Commander Yuan, so I will settle with this amount. However, there are a few other conditions, Commander Yuan need to agree upon.” Cheng Yang said.
Yuan Jianze breathe a sigh of relief, as long as he didn’t need to gather millions of power value, the pressure on him wasn’t very large. The worst that could happens was that these next few days each profession will have to pay 2 points per day, for five to six days to sufficiently collect such an amount.
Cheng Yang saw that Yuan Jianze didn’t had an opinion, so he continued, “This is the first condition, I am allow to walk freely in the main city and recruit as many people as I want. Also when I am doing so, you as well as your n can’t hinder . And naturally, I will not recruit any of your troops. ”
Yuan Jianze hesitated for a mont, this doesn’t seem to affect his overall strength. Therefore, he nodded and accepted the condition.
Cheng Yang continued, “As for my second condition, dividing up the area around Xiangcheng city’s main city, the east side will be the area my personnel will be active in. The west side will be the range your personnel will be in, no one shall cross each other border. For the area regarding north and south exits, you either monopolize the main city, and I occupy both the north and south channel leading out of the city. Otherwise, you have to divide the ownership of the main city in half, and each of us will take either the north or south channel. You can pick which option you want.”
As Yuan Jianze listened, his heart was slightly startled. For a while, he was unclear of Cheng Yang’s intentions. His n has swept through the entire ruins of the city, and there was basically no difference between the east and the west, except for the instance portal in the east. Now that he has lost the opportunity to compete for the instance portal, why would the other side brought up such a request?
At this mont, Yuan Jianze had no clue about the number of n under Cheng Yang, or how many of them has transferred to a profession. If Cheng Yang really has a thod of changing people into profession, then why did he give him the first option?
After hesitating for a long ti, Yuan Jianze also agree to this condition of Cheng Yang. This condition, Cheng Yang even given him two options to choose from. He wasn’t a fool, so he chose to monopolize the main city. In his view, the main city has a variety of functional buildings, as well as residences. The first condition of Cheng Yang only stated he could recruit people in the main city without his interference. But it didn’t include buying items or using a residence. As such, was there a reason for him to not pick the main city?
While smiling, Cheng Yang said, “Great! Since Commander Yuan agreed so crisply, I decided to only give these two conditions for the ti being. After this, the east side of Xiangcheng City will belong to my side, which also includes the north and south channels. In these area, you can’t take one step inside. Of course, the sa truth goes for my people. The west side of Xiangcheng City will belong to you, and my people will not enter a step inside that region. Any violator will be kill. Any opinion?”
After listening to those words, Yuan Jianze imdiately nodded his consent. He said: “Cheng Yang, since I agree with your terms, I was wondering if you could also promise that you won’t go inside our region for so ti in the future.”
Cheng Yang calmly said,”Of course. As long as you don’t violate the terms I set, I will never set foot in your region.”
Yuan Jianze said, “Although there is no law in this world, but I believe that with your excellency’s moral character, you wouldn’t breach this contract.”
Cheng Yang sminglingly said, “If I really have the intention to break this contract, why would I spent so much ti talking you? I could just cleanly kill you. Wouldn’t that have been more neat and tidy?”
Even though what Cheng Yang said wasn’t pleasant to hear, Yuan Jianze still has to admit that this was a fact.
Cheng Yang said, “If Commander Yuan don’t trust , we could have it written down. This could also be regarded as a type of proof for your side.”
Yuan Jianze didn’t object, he imdiately had people send over pen and paper, and write down a more detailed agreent. After both sides read the agreent, there was no objection. Then both signed their own nas, and pressed their handprint on the signed agreent.
Once this was done, Cheng Yang said, “Okay, now that things has been it’s settled, you can take those people away with you now. Take those bodies along with you. Although we are both in a hostile relationship, but the dead should still be buried.”
Yuan Jianze imdiately arrange his people to untie Zhao Xun and the others. As for the dead professions, they were lifted up and taken away, reckoned to be brought back to find so places to be buried.
Following that, Yuan Jianze said, “I would like to wait for a bit. Just now, I sent a few people to chase after Miss Liu. They are bound to be back anyti now. Perhaps, Miss Liu might find herself in a troubleso predicant.”
Cheng Yang started laughing happily, “If Liu Xiyue was really caught in a predicant, do you think I would still be calm and chit-chat with you here? You can go back now, I believe those people won’t be returning.”
As soon as Cheng Yang’s words finished, a shadow erged from the distance. Looking at the clothing, who else could it be beside Liu Xiyue?
But in addition to Liu Xiyue, no one could be seen behind her back. This situation once more alerted Yuan Jianze.
“Did you purposely set up?” Yuan Jianze was shocked, he couldn’t help but asked.
Cheng Yang curled his lips and disdainfully said, “Do I need to set you up? You were the one that didn’t understand the situation that was going on and confuse a large wolf as a small white rabbit. So why be surprised at this result?”
Yuan Jianze wasn’t stupid, he imdiately comprehend the aning of Cheng Yang’s words, still shocked he exclaid, “Is she also a special type of profession like you?”
Cheng Yang didn’t answer him, but said: “Alright, you can leave now. Oh that’s right, later this afternoon I will be collecting the first installnt of power value. The first amount will be 200,000 points of power value, and then afterwards each day will be pay by 100,000 points. I believe this shouldn’t be difficult to achieve for you.”
Yuan Jianze silently nodded, he didn’t want to continue talking to Cheng Yang on this subject. He took a deep look at Cheng Yang, before leading his n off towards the direction of the main city.
He ca in high spirits, but had to return in disappointnt. Not only did the instance portal failed to be won over, even the number of dead n under his command was over 100. Although these 100 people was nothing compared to the total amount of staff, but they were people under his direct command. In addition, the ti of their transfer was earlier than the rest, with their cultivation reaching as high as 20%. Regarding the total profession of the main city, they could be classified as being a par above the rest.
These people didn’t in battle against enchanted best, but died between conflicts among people. This was what greatly saddened Yuan Jianze.
After separating a good distance away from Cheng Yang, Old Wu finally couldn’t help but walked up to Yuan Jianze’s side, feeling sowhat nervous he whispered, “Commander, are we really prepare to hand over the east side of Xiangcheng city to the opposite side? And then live in peace like this?”
Yuan Jianze’s eyes flashed a cold glint, he said, “Old Wu, do you think the way the world is right now, the so-called contract would still binding?”
“This …” Old Wu didn’t know how to answer this.
Yuan Jianze said, “Now the world only care about strength. Without strength, you can’t protect even protect possessions or get the things you want. Don’t just look at the way we were behaving a mont ago, but as long as one side has the absolute strength to crush the other party, it would not had gone so nicely. ”
Old Wu frowned, he said, “But commander, the strength that Cheng Yang just demonstrated should be enough to crush us. We can’t even smash through the other side’s defense. Our human waves tactics was useless on him.”
Yuan Jianze said, “He must have so concerns holding him back. When those concerns are eliminated, he would stop speaking so politely to us.”
“Then what should we do?” Old Wu asked.
Yuan Jianze said, “Our top priority is to enhance our strength. At least in a short period of ti, we need to create a soldier that can keep Cheng Yang in check, otherwise we will always be the one passive. In the past, we were concerned about a number of things, so we weren’t really paying attention to the power value gathered on the profession. Even I only opened up six tis cultivation speed. This ti, after we get back, focus on nurturing so of the more gifted profession, and give them a sufficient supply of power value for their cultivation.”
“About that 500,000 points of power value we promised him …” He stopped mid-sentence, waiting for Yuan Jianze’s replied
“Give it to him…..” Yuan Jianze clenched his teeth, and told Old Wu unwillingly.
