Cao Xing was confused for a moment and replied: “What’s the problem?
Zou Qi: “There was a post on the forum today. It was posted by someone from the Sanyinghui, saying that their boss, Fang Long, died today.”
“Those people also ran to Fang Long’s territory to check and found that not only Fang Long was dead, but his camp was burned to ashes.”
“And our Sanyinghui in District 174 announced its dissolution on the spot. A large number of members quit, leaving only the last few backbones still supporting it.”
Cao Xing was stunned. He didn’t expect Sanying to be disbanded so quickly.
Sure enough, for a force like this, if the leader dies, the people below are basically scattered.
At this time, Zou Qi asked tentatively: “However, they said that Fang Long was killed by you. Is this true?”
Communication between survivors is very convenient, and Cao Xing also knows that this matter cannot be hidden.
However, he will definitely not admit it.
Cao Xing replied: “It has nothing to do with me. I don’t even know where Fang Long’s territory is.”
“Perhaps, he was hit by the ice nest in his territory, and it was possible that he was directly killed.”
Hearing this, Zou Qi on the opposite side also laughed, “You are right, Mr. Cao Xing, Fang Long was killed by the ice nest.”
“However, Mr. Cao Xing, I still want to remind you.”
“In addition to Fang Long, the Sanyinghui has two other branches in other cities. They were assigned to other districts this time.”
“I took a look on the World Channel. The other two branches seem to be developing pretty well. Boss Cao Xing still needs to be careful.”
Cao Xing nodded after hearing this. He understood what Zou Qi meant.
There are three bosses in the Sanyinghui, and they all had considerable influence in the three cities of Blue Star.
This is also the origin of their name.
Of course, for Cao Xing.
With his current strength, he can completely ignore these guys.
Moreover, according to his current development pace, he will become stronger and faster.
So there is no need to worry about threats from survivors.
Cao Xing replied, “Okay, I understand, thank you for reminding me.”
The other party replied that you were welcome and then hung up the communication.
The dissolution of the Three Heroes Association was just a minor episode for Cao Xing. What he was more concerned about now was finding the last thing to make the secret medicine of life: the Bingluan flower.
After entering the three keywords of ‘Bingluan Flower’ in the market.
There is zero relevant information.
Cao Xing said with some regret: “Sure enough, there isn’t even one?”
This is also expected, after all, magic plants are rare.
However, this also shows that Cao Xing’s idea of mass-producing the secret medicine of life is somewhat difficult.
At this time, Cao Xing had a flash of inspiration.
“Since it’s not on the market, take the initiative to release the information.”
“First attract attention among the survivors. Even if there is no one now, they will help pay attention to these two plants later.”
“When the time comes, as long as I offer a high enough price, someone will definitely contact me.”
Of course, there is a drawback to this, that is, other survivors will know that Cao Xing needs two kinds of plants.
Some people may take the opportunity to extort money.
However, this is inevitable.
Even if Cao Xing doesn’t release the information publicly, as soon as his name appears, someone will spread the news that he needs the Bingluan Flower.
So, Cao Xing directly hung up a golden weapon in his hand: [King’s Glaive].
[Consignment item information: King’s Glaive (gold)]
[Required items: food*99.99 million]
[Consignor: Cao Xing]
[Seller’s Note: If you want to purchase Bingluan flower and Moses grass for a fee, if you have these two magic plants on hand, you can contact me. 】
Thinking of this, Cao Xing added: “Anyone who knows information about these two plants can also contact me and I will also be rewarded.”
…
In the current trading market, not to mention golden equipment, even purple equipment is very rare.
Cao Xing’s King’s Glaive, as a level 20 golden weapon, can be said to be the only one.
And soon, some survivors discovered the golden weapon that Cao Xing put on the shelves.
A survivor named Jin Wei wiped his eyes, and then said in confusion: “Oh… Am I right? Is this a golden weapon?”
“So soon, someone revealed golden equipment?”
And when he saw the name of the consignor, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.
“It turned out to be Boss Cao Xing. I asked him who could break out the golden equipment so quickly and put it on the market.”
“However, he doesn’t seem to be planning to use it for trading. He just wants to use this weapon to publish information about the acquisition of ice luan flowers and Moses grass.”
At the same time, more people have discovered this unique piece of golden equipment on the [market].
Someone in the chat channel suddenly said: “Brothers, go to the market and take a look. Boss Cao Xing seems to have put on sale a golden weapon!”
Feng Zhongyang: “What? Golden weapons! Is this impossible?”
Liu Yue: “Yeah, it’s only been a few days, and I haven’t even touched the blue equipment yet. How could someone break out the gold equipment!”
Cui Ping: “You’ll know if you go and see it?”
After saying that, they all opened the market, which immediately caused a cry of exclamation.
“Fuck…it’s actually real! It’s still a level 20 golden sword!”
“Such a strong attribute! If you gave this to me, I would be invincible on the spot!”
“It’s so fierce! He is truly worthy of being the boss of Cao Xing.”
At this time, another survivor named Zheng Mingjie said: “Brothers, Boss Cao Xing seems to be in need of Bingluan flowers and Moses grass. Do you guys have any of them, or have you seen them outside?”
The survivors all wondered: “What is this? Never heard of it?”
Chen Mingming: “I haven’t heard of it either, but since it’s something that Boss Cao Xing wants, it should be very expensive, right?”
Wang Tao: “I would also like to know what Mr. Cao Xing is going to use to acquire these two materials. He won’t really exchange them for golden weapons, right?”
Wu Zixuan: “Upstairs, you are thinking shit.”
As more and more people participated in the discussion, Cao Xing opened the chat channel and said something.
Cao Xing: “Everyone, I am Cao Xing. The two things I want to purchase are relatively rare magical plants. I have never seen them in detail.”
“If any of you have these two magic plants or related clues, you can contact me. I also have some blue meat, warm clothes, green or blue equipment, etc.”
“You will be compensated based on the value of your intelligence.”
Upon hearing the reward promised by Cao Xing, all the survivors on the scene became a little excited! After all, at the current stage, meat with added attributes and warm clothes are what most survivors need.
And the key is, as long as you give out information, Cao Xing will reward you!
For a time, many survivors began to contact their friends privately, asking for information about whether they had seen these two magical plants.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.
As Cao Xing’s acquisition information attracted more and more attention, he soon received many private messages.
The mailbox reached 99+ again. Cao Xing glanced at it and found that most of them were people trying to cheat the rewards.
It is said that he once discovered traces of the Ice Luan Flower in a mysterious place and asked Cao Xing to give him 500 pieces of blue animal meat and tell him its location.
It is said that he once found Moses grass in a cave and asked Cao Xing for the King’s War Blade.
Others said that there was a large amount of Moses grass next to his territory, and Cao Xing needed to give him a set of equipment first, and he went to pick it for Cao Xing.
These guys don’t even care when they lie.
Cao Xing simply ignored it.
At this moment, a private message sent by a survivor named Qiu Yating caught Cao Xing’s attention.
Qiu Yating: “Hello, Mr. Cao Xing, I know the clues about the Bingluan flower. It is a flower that only grows in places with sufficient magic power. It is relatively rare and looks similar to the Lapis Lazuli flower.”
Seeing what she said in such detail, Cao Xing also believed it.
So, Cao Xing replied: “Where did you get the clue?”
Qiu Yating quickly replied: “I heard about it from an aborigine. He said that the Bingluan flower is a precious medicinal material that is purchased by many shops in big cities.”
“But in the entire blizzard snowfield, there are only a few places where you can find a large number of ice luan flowers. There is only one known place so far.”
“And that place is very dangerous. According to the aborigines, if you go below the second level, you will almost certainly die.”
After listening, Cao Xing almost believed that this woman did have information about Bingluan Flower.
So he replied: “What’s the name of that place?”
Qiu Yating, who was opposite, chuckled and said, “Brother Cao Xing, I wonder if the reward you mentioned is true?”
Cao Xing understood what she meant and nodded: “Of course it’s true. Tell me, what do you need?”
The other person thought for a moment, and then replied: “I want 100 pieces of Snowstorm bear meat, 100 pieces of Frost Bomb rabbit meat, plus twenty sets of warm clothes, and five pieces of blue equipment.”
Cao Xing rolled his eyes and said, “You want so many things for one piece of news. I’m really not afraid that Feng Da will flash your tongue.”
Qiu Yating also heard the speechlessness in Cao Xing’s tone, and she said helplessly.
“It’s a bit much… But I couldn’t help it. I formed a team with my classmates. Because I was the highest level, they made me the team leader.”
“Now I have to take care of this team and need too many supplies…”
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing suddenly asked in confusion: “A group of you students have formed a team?”
Qiu Yating: “Yes, we are all students of Xinzhou College, and we are just in our third year of high school this year.”
Cao Xing nodded, and then asked: “What is your team development model like?”
He is still very interested in this development model.
After all, there is not only one way to develop in this world.
As time goes by, it becomes more and more difficult to survive in this world, and many people will not be able to develop.
At this time, they can only give up their territory and find other ways out.
Either join the [Legion] created by others, or go and join the indigenous organizations of this world.
Qiu Yating replied: “Actually, our team model is also very simple. That is, they gave up their own territory, and then led their whole family and their polar people to my territory.”
“Originally I thought that if we all get together, there will be more power in numbers. With so many polar people, we should be able to develop very quickly.”
“As a result, the development speed is fast, but the resource consumption is also much greater…”
“The few resources they brought were used up within two days.”
“And because I was soft-hearted at the time, I didn’t let them join my territory as citizens, but gave them construction permission.”
“Now there are more than a dozen lords in one territory, and none of them are willing to work, so they rely on the polar people to collect supplies.”
“Now, the resources in the territory are getting less and less. I have a headache every day because of the food, drink and diarrhea of these people…”
Speaking of this, Qiu Yating couldn’t help but sigh.
A dozen lords in one territory is indeed a bit outrageous.
For example, when he first asked Xia Yanni to join the territory, he allowed them to join as citizens and had no other authority.
He still has the final say in the entire territory.
As for Qiu Yating’s team, it is more difficult to deal with. There is no one heavyweight enough to suppress everything, and no one will obey anyone.
There’s definitely a lot of intrigue going on here, and just thinking about it makes people’s heads tingle.
Speaking of this, Qiu Yating said tentatively.
“Brother Cao Xing, I also know that the price I offered is a bit high…”
“How about… can you make a price?”
Cao Xing thought for a moment and replied: “I don’t have much of the meat you want. I can give you 20 yuan, 100 units of other food, five sets of warm clothes, and five green quality equipment.” ”
The news about Bingluan Flower is still very important to Cao Xing.
Therefore, it is worth paying for these things.
Moreover, based on Cao Xing’s resource reserves, these are only a drop in the bucket.
The other person thought for a moment and then replied: “That’s okay…but besides these, I have one more request.”
Cao Xing asked doubtfully: “What request?”
Qiu Yating: “That’s it…when Mr. Cao Xing goes to that place, can you take me and my team with him? I have a mission that needs to be completed inside.”
Cao Xing asked: “You don’t need me to take you to complete the mission, right?”
“I don’t want to help you work again and give you supplies.”
It can be seen that this woman is still very smart.
Qiu Yating said quickly: “No need, I just need Mr. Cao Xing to take me into that place. We will complete the rest of the task process ourselves.”
Cao Xing thought for a moment and replied: “Okay, deal.”
“However, I need you to tell me the news first, and then I will give you the supplies.”
Although, Cao Xing is not afraid of this woman cheating him of his supplies.
Anyway, everyone is in the blizzard area. If she really dares to lie to him, Cao Xing will have many opportunities to deal with her in the future.
Qiu Yating smiled and said, “That’s natural.”
Then she said cheerfully: “The place where the Ice Luan Flower grows is called the Witch Forest.”
“It is said that there are many high-level monsters there, and there is also a group of powerful tree spirits who are preventing outsiders from entering the forest.”
Witch Forest…
Hearing the name, Cao Xing thought for a moment, but he had never heard of information about this place.
So, he continued to ask: “Where are the specific coordinates?”
After Qiu Yating heard this, she quickly sent the coordinates.
Cao Xing opened the map and looked at it. It was almost 200 kilometers away from his camp.
Then he nodded and said: “Okay, I understand.”
“You go to the market and hang up whatever you want, mark the price, and I’ll take a photo of it for you.”
“Uh-huh.”
Qiu Yating obeyed the instructions and then consigned a random piece of food in the market.
Then, Cao Xing traded 20 pieces of Snow Bear meat, plus 100 pieces of dry bread, and five rabbit fur coats to Qiu Yating.
The two sides completed a wave of transactions.
Cao Xing thought to himself: “Very good, now we have the drawings of the medicine refining workshop, and we also have clues about the Bingluan Flower.”
“We are one step closer to mass-producing an improved version of the secret medicine of life!”
“However, this location may not be 100% true. It needs to be confirmed again.”
At this time, Qiu Yating sent a message: “Thank you, Mr. Cao Xing.”
“You’re welcome, everyone gets what they want.”
Qiu Yating continued to ask: “Brother Cao Xing, may I ask, when will you set off?”
She seemed a little anxious. Of course, it was possible that the task was very important to her.
Cao Xing replied: “I don’t know, it might be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I’ll call you after I get there.”
After hearing this, Qiu Yating replied: “Then… okay…”
She was a little helpless, but she also knew that the initiative lay with Cao Xing.
After hanging up the private chat with Qiu Yating.
Cao Xing thought for a moment. Of course, he didn’t believe Qiu Yating’s words so easily.
If the coordinates given by the other party were a trap, just like when he tricked Fang Long, it would be great fun.
Therefore, Cao Xing decided to send someone over tomorrow to investigate and confirm that it was safe before going there.
Then, he directly clicked on all the newly obtained drawings to study.
Five or six system prompts appeared in succession.
[Successfully learned: Light combat drone production drawings. 】
[Successfully learned: Construction drawings of the primary alchemy workshop. 】
【success……】
Then, Cao Xing found Du An, a polar man, and asked him to take time tomorrow to build the [Elementary Medicine Refining Workshop].
As for Juliette, Cao Xing also gave special instructions to plant the Spirit Breath Grass as soon as possible.
Everything is ready.
At the same time, Dahua and the others have already prepared dinner for today.
More than a hundred people from the entire territory entered the canteen.
Because Cao Xing specially ordered today to cook a dinner for them using the milk of Yuncai Yak.
So everyone seemed to be looking forward to it.
In the cafeteria, bursts of rich milk aroma mixed with the aroma of meat came, making people’s saliva secrete like crazy.
More than a hundred people in the entire territory once again enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.
This guy Bronn was also sober at this time, and he was shouting with a few imperial soldiers and two centaurs.
From time to time he sang a song.
The whole cafeteria was noisy because of their voices.
Although noisy, it is also full of life.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue looked at each other and smiled, feeling a warm feeling.
Then, a whole bunch of loyalty promotions come along.
In the entire territory, most of the people in the territory have increased their loyalty by 2 to 3 points.
Cao Xing secretly thought: “The longer these people stay in the territory, the more they will feel a sense of belonging here.”
“As long as you don’t abuse or exploit them too much, it’s easy to cultivate everyone’s loyalty to over 90.”
However, for some subjects who have reached 90 points or above, it is more difficult to increase their loyalty.
Just like Sarah and Andrew et al.
Only by giving them what they need or helping them fulfill their wishes can they be promoted to a higher level of loyalty.
Of course, 90% loyalty is already pretty good.
…
…
At night.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue returned to their lord’s cabin to rest tonight.
It was very warm inside the lord’s hut, with waves of warm air floating around.
Cao Xing glanced at the temperature above his head.
[Current temperature: 21℃]
“Oh? It actually exceeded 20 degrees?”
Cao Xing’s face showed joy.
This indoor temperature is really comfortable.
Even if you are like Blue Star, you will not feel cold even if you only wear a thin piece of clothing.
In addition, the interior decoration of the lord’s cabin has also become more luxurious.
A throne inlaid with precious stones was placed in the center, shining with pearls.
On both sides were gilt candlesticks, flickering with bright candlelight.
There are glass hanging lamps on the ceiling, which look very gorgeous.
The level of luxury of this kind of decoration is comparable to some of the top B&Bs in the country.
At this moment, Liu Muxue was still bending slightly, heating hot water on the stove.
In the room, Liu Muxue was not as thick as what she wore outside, only wearing a white satin dress.
Xia Yanni made this from the cloth Cao Xing gave her.
It is said that Liu Muxue even went to Xia Yanni to have her measurements measured, so she looked very close to her body.
The round and tight buttocks facing Cao Xing, coupled with a pair of slender legs, are very eye-catching.
After the water was boiled, Liu Muxue turned around and met Cao Xing’s eyes.
She lowered her head shyly…
Then, she entered the cubicle, took off her clothes and washed herself.
Wow…
The sound of water kept coming, arousing people’s reverie.
Cao Xing suddenly remembered that he had also received a [Drawing of a Magic Energy Water Storage Device] during the day, which seemed to be able to be built in the room.
Then he checked the properties…
