Li ngyao looked around and finally decided to speak up, "My cousin is nad Li Minglu. He is just from a distant branch and does not receive protection from our family. He has always relied on himself."
"Previously, he was a manager in a sixth-tier territory. Due to a major mistake, it resulted in the organization losing many key personnel, and he was subsequently sued by the organization. Because the losses were too great to compensate, he was made a slave by their organization, ready to be sold at any ti."
Li ngyao quickly added, "However, that mistake wasn’t entirely his fault, as there was a mber of the upper class who was giving foolish orders at the ti, leading to that situation. I can’t speak about the specifics."
This was the organization’s secret. Although Li ngyao knew it, she indeed couldn’t go blabbing about it.
"A sixth-tier territorial manager joining us, is that appropriate?"
"Don’t worry, he is only fourth-tier, his strength is not as strong as yours," Li ngyao said nonchalantly.
Du You began to think, a manager of a sixth-tier territory and only fourth-tier; there could only be two scenarios. Either he was suppressing his level, like himself currently, wanting to advance more skills at fourth-tier to have better potential for developnt later.
Or it’s because managing the territory left him no ti to level up, but this situation was very rare. Because managing a territory often encountered various missions, he should not be lacking in Crystal Coins.
"He isn’t the main manager but an assistant; the main manager is of the fifth-tier," Li ngyao said.
Du You suddenly realized; right, it was strange for a fourth-tier strength person to manage a sixth-tier territory. Naturally, a fifth-tier managing a sixth-tier was also odd, and this did not align with the norms for Professional managers.
Generally, among Professionals, managers’ level and strength should match, or even exceed, that of their territories. This was indeed because a territory’s tier grows much slower than an individual’s level.
As for whether Li ngyao was lying, Du You was sure she wouldn’t. Li ngyao was always trying to get close to him; it wouldn’t make sense for her to make a mistake on such a trivial matter as that would be more loss than gain.
Moreover, Du You knew that the reason Li Minglu hadn’t been sold was likely because the Li Family had intervened.
To have prompted the Li Family to intervene might partly be out of face-saving, but it could also be because Li Minglu indeed had considerable abilities. Now considering handing over to himself, Du You wasn’t sure whether he should accept.
Accepting would an he would owe a big favor. Dealing with this woman, Du You felt very troubled.
As for Xi Qianxue, she frowned while watching silently, not speaking. There wasn’t a suitable candidate from Xi Qianxue’s side, and she wouldn’t disrupt others’ discussions; she wasn’t that kind of person.
Moreover, being intelligent, Xi Qianxue knew that deliberately causing trouble in this matter, harming Du You’s interests, would definitely backfire and only cause Du You to dislike her.
After a long consideration, Du You finally made up his mind, "Alright, let him co over; I agree." There was no need for various tests; since Li ngyao recomnded him, Du You trusted her judgnt would not be poor.
"Alright, according to our local ti, he could arrive in at most two days."
In the following two days, countless individuals flooded into the territory, then delved into the heartland of the Fla Giants to launch various hunt missions. The situation in the Fla Giants’ belly gradually began to look grim.
Now the college has two points of offense, and it wasn’t easy for the Fla Giants to block them completely. Similarly, this type of incursion into the belly of the Fla Giants, leading to hunts, also began to cause so casualties among the students, though fortunately, the impact was not too significant.
Two days later, Li ngyao ca with a middle-aged man to Du You’s side. The middle-aged man himself looked neat and tidy, only his complexion appeared sowhat haggard, and his aura sowhat feeble.
Li ngyao’s cousin turned out to be much older than Li ngyao, but obviously, Li ngyao’s status was sowhat higher.
"Hello, you must be Li Minglu, I am Du You, the lord of this territory."
"I’ve long admired your reputation, I am Li Minglu, and I am confident that I can manage this territory well." Li Minglu did not sound modest, though he looked haggard, but his confidence was clearly sufficient.
"You should know my requirents, so..."
"No problem, I have brought the contract, and I believe the lady wouldn’t choose the wrong person."
Du You nodded, glancing at Li ngyao; her tender gaze sowhat overwheld him. Eventually, under everyone’s gaze, Du You and Li Minglu signed a stringent slavery contract.
Strictly speaking, Li Minglu and the two sisters’ followers were basically of similar status, but in different forms. Li Minglu was restricted between Central City and Earth; he could only travel between these two worlds and couldn’t go to others. Under the suppression of this contract, unless Du You handed over other territories to him in the future, he would be confined here.
This was the price for the mistake he had made; were it not for the Li Family’s intervention, he wouldn’t know whose slave he would have beco.
Because Du You was also fourth-tier, Li Minglu’s strength wasn’t suppressed and remained the sa. Du You didn’t hesitate, imdiately setting Li Minglu’s designation as the deputy lord of Central City, in charge of everything about the territory.
At the sa ti, the internal matters of the territory were directly handed over to Li Minglu, allowing him to know his current territory’s situation.
"Do you have any suggestions for the developnt of the territory now?" Du You was now testing Li Minglu’s ability. Seeing this, Li ngyao stepped aside and whispered to Xi Qianxue, avoiding their conversation.
Li Minglu entered his role imdiately, and his deanor seed to have improved considerably.
"Our territory is now linked with Capital University, so there are no issues regarding developnt and safety, but we must consider Capital University’s reputation and the lives of students."
Du You nodded slightly, agreeing that there wasn’t a single error in his statent. If there were an error in this aspect, the college would not let him off.
"The college’s territory has reached fifth-tier, so now the main force protecting the territory isn’t our own troops but the experts from the college. Thus, our own military forces can be pulled out."
Du You’s eyes lit up, seeming like it was a good entry point, one he hadn’t realized himself. It definitely was a rookie mistake, as he always liked to keep everything under his control and was reluctant to reassign his troops.
