“Although I didn’t brew much, it’s enough for you to drink for a period of time.”
Mei Changge said with a smile. The spatial bag was filled with White Jade Lotus
Wine.
“In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Wan Chuan laughed. Then, he picked up the spatial bag and vanished in the next second.
“I’ll wait for you to become famous in No Man’s Land.”
This sentence seemed to come with the wind and fall into Mei Changge’s ears.
“Boss, can I have some too?”
Ye Yan smiled at Mei Changge curiously.
“Sure.”
Mei Changge could not help but laugh. Then, he threw him a spatial bag that contained the White Jade Lotus Wine.
In fact, this White Jade Lotus Wine was only brewed by a Grade 9 White Jade Lotus with average effects. In the future, Mei Changge would also get the Creation Camp to brew White Jade Lotus Wine of different grades.
This was Mei Changge’s greatest ambition.
Every major grade contained three minor grades. This was Mei Changge’s true idea of earning a large amount of resources.
He wanted to let the unique produce from his Blessed Land serve as a substitute for its primary purpose.
In addition to the White Jade Lotus Wine, Mei Changge intended to experiment with brewing Spirit Wine using various other types of lotus flowers. Once they succeeded, the top specialty item in the Void Market would be considered complete.
“Thanks, Boss!”
Ye Yan glanced at the Spirit Wine in the spatial bag and his face lit up.
“Alright, go and rest.”
Mei Changge waved his hand. Ye Yan’s arrival this time had helped him deal with the Transcendents of the Forest race. He had indeed come at the right time, but Mei Changge planned to reconfirm the framework of Green Lotus City.
In addition to these, there were many things that he needed to deal with, such as the salary of the soldiers.
Although it was up to Guo Jia to make the decision, he still needed his approval to confirm it.
After parting ways with Ye Yan, Mei Changge instructed the soldiers stationed outside the Green Lotus Palace to notify Guo Jia to come.
“Framework and level-two stargates…”
Mei Changge sat on the high seat of the Green Lotus Palace with a thoughtful expression.
However, when Guo Jia walked into Green Lotus Palace, his brows relaxed slightly.
“Greetings, my lord.”
“My lord, has the Forest race been dealt with?”
Guo Jia asked curiously when he saw Mei Changge.
He did not expect Mei Changge to return so quickly. It had only been a day.
“That’s correct. They have departed. It’s time to determine our next course of development.”
Mei Changge nodded and looked at Guo Jia.
“Feng Xiao, what do you think we should do next?” Mei Changge asked with a questioning expression.
“My lord, didn’t you have a plan in mind?”
Upon hearing Mei Changge’s words, Guo Jia couldn’t help but smile. After all, the development of Green Lotus City had now entered a formal phase. Once the framework was established, the “machine” that was Green Lotus City could officially commence operations.
“No, other than Green Lotus City, we still need to build other cities.” Mei Changge shook his head slightly and explained to Guo Jia.
This time, he had saved many humans from the Forest race. Moreover, he would enter the stargate next and bring back more humans.
Even if Green Lotus City were transformed into a bustling metropolis with a population of a million, it would still fall short of his ambitions.
“My lord, where do you wish to build the other cities?”
Guo Jia instantly understood what Mei Changge meant and frowned slightly. After all, if they built another city, the number of people they had to manage would increase. This was what they needed to face now.
“Yes. Although Desolate Forest belongs to No Man’s Land, the real No Man’s Land is actually outside the Dark Wall.”
Mei Changge nodded and told Guo Jia about the Dark Wall.
“Dark Wall?”
After listening to Mei Changge’s explanation, Guo Jia’s face revealed a thoughtful expression.
This Dark Wall was the defense line against the foreign races and also gave them a chance to develop.
Soon, they would definitely step into the Dark Wall. After all, they could not always develop in Desolate Forest.
Moreover, if he wanted to obtain a large number of resources, there would be more behind the Dark Wall.
For example, the stargate token.
“My lord, I think we can develop in three courses!”
After thinking for a moment, Guo Jia extended his finger and said to Mei
Changge.
“Oh? Tell me about it.
Mei Changge was curious. He did not expect Guo Jia to have an idea so soon. “First, develop in Desolate Forest. Build a city if we must and it’ll be our foundation.
“Secondly, prioritize plundering in the stargates. We’ll seize everything available in the stargates—people, treasures, ores, and other resources. They will all become our own.”
With a smile on his face, Guo Jia held two fingers together.
“And the third?”
Mei Changge glanced at Guo Jia. These two objectives aligned with his own thoughts, as they represented the major endeavors he intended to undertake next.
“My lord, the third course will be a little dangerous.”
Guo Jia paused for a moment and spoke again.
“Thirdly, venture beyond the Dark Wall and focus on acquiring stargate tokens.
Additionally, gather intelligence about the area outside the Dark Wall.”
Upon hearing this, Mei Changge was taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated that Guo Jia would set their sights on the territory beyond the Dark Wall.
Although it sounded a little dangerous, the returns were definitely huge.
Moreover, Mei Changge realized that these three courses could be said to be interconnected.
They planned to seize stargate tokens beyond the Dark Wall while also gathering crucial intelligence for future endeavors. Inside the stargates, they aimed to plunder all the available resources and utilize them for the benefit of either Mei Changge himself or Green Lotus City.
They were interconnected.
“As expected of you, Feng Xiao!”
Mei Changge could not help but sigh at Guo Jia’s thoughts.
However, it was indeed dangerous beyond the Dark Wall, and there had to be at least a Transcendent guarding it.
At that moment, only he, Ye Yan, and Xu Ding were Transcendents.
Mei Changge did not need to consider Ye Yan. After all, Ye Yan had just joined him. Mei Changge could not let him take the risk to venture beyond the Dark Wall.
Regarding his own plans, Mei Changge intended to enter the level-two stargate. However, he was aware that if he attempted to take people beyond the Dark Wall, Guo Jia would likely make every effort to thwart him.
In this way, only Xu Ding was left.
Furthermore, if Mei Changge were to request it, Xu Ding would undoubtedly comply.
“Let’s wait a little longer. We’ll nurture more Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry. Only then will we be more confident.
At this thought, Mei Changge shook his head slightly. He could not let Xu Ding lead 3,000 Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry beyond the Dark Wall now.
This would be akin to sending them to their demise.
“The first two courses can be carried out, but the third one still needs to wait.
Mei Changge etched Guo Jia’s proposals into his memory. Except for the third course of action, the other two could be initiated upon Xu Chu and the others’ return.
“Yes, my lord.”
Guo Jia nodded. After all, it was dangerous beyond the Dark Wall. He had to consider it carefully.
Otherwise, the gains would not make up for the losses.
“By the way, I plan to subdivide the management next. What do you think, Feng Xiao?”
Mei Changge changed the topic and asked Guo Jia.
Hearing this, Guo Jia knew that Mei Changge wanted to set the basic framework.
“My lord, I think we should divide it into four frameworks.”
Guo Jia’s expression was solemn. Any problem caused by the frameworks would greatly affect the subsequent developments of the city.
“Tell me what you think.”
Mei Changge nodded slightly and waited for Guo Jia’s thoughts.
“The Creation Camp is one of them. It’s crucial for future development. We require not only Spiritual Energy Cannons and Spirit Wine but also their expertise in constructing additional cities.”
Hearing this, Mei Changge nodded in agreement.
From the start, Guo Jia was in charge of the Creation Camp. Guo Jia saw the potential in it.
Therefore, Mei Changge was not too surprised.
“My lord, the second thing I believe should be something akin to the traditional court’s Ministry of Revenue. In the future, if we bring back a substantial population from the stargates, we will undoubtedly require a department to manage and account for this population. Otherwise, various issues are likely to arise.”
“The third is the soldiers. This is also personally managed by you, my lord.
They are mainly in charge of combat.”
“The final point concerns the administrators for the expansion of the city or the lords of these cities. You must verify this, my lord,” After saying that, Guo Jia looked at Mei Changge.
At that moment, Mei Changge had a thoughtful expression.
Mei Changge agreed with Guo Jia’s suggestions.
Furthermore, Mei Changge contemplated the structural frameworks. He had even considered referencing the various departments of the ancient Imperial
Court.
However, he also came to the realization that many aspects were not particularly significant.
“Yes, I’ll think about it.”
Mei Changge did not make his decisions yet.
After all, this was a crucial matter that warranted careful deliberation. However, Mei Changge found himself in agreement with the four departments that Guo Jia had proposed.
He also considered adding other departments.
Once he had developed his city, he planned to establish the Void Market. This endeavor would undoubtedly necessitate specialized management departments to oversee it.
Furthermore, the introduction of Myriad Lotus Coins to the Great Xia Kingdom would also rely on the Void Market.
He couldn’t merge this department with the others, could he?
“My lord!”
At that moment, a voice sounded from outside Green Lotus Palace.
“Zhong Kang and the others have returned.”
When Mei Changge heard the voice, he smiled at Guo Jia.
“Let them in.”
Soon after, he saw Xu Chu, Xu Ding, Song Yubai, Zhang Xiang, and a Mystic Yang soldier beside Xu Chu walking in from outside the hall.
The person beside Xu Chu was none other than Li Xin, who had been brought in by the former.
“Greetings, my lord!”
The five of them walked into Green Lotus Palace and greeted Mei Changge respectfully.
“No need for such formality. Have you finished clearing the battlefield?”
Mei Changge asked with a smile. Guo Jia turned around and looked at them curiously.
“My lord, I found these!”
Xu Chu was the first to speak as he couldn’t hold his excitement anymore. He walked forward with a smile, retrieving a spatial bag and a green block.
“My lord, look at this!”
Xu Chu referred to the green block in his hand. At the same time, Song Yubai and Xu Ding’s eyes were filled with envy..
