I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 287 Motown
When Ning Yun came to Mo City again, she brought her team with her.

Butler Willis breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ning Yun appear.

"Lord of the city, you're finally back."

Even though she was only gone for two days, Willis's butler felt like each day was an eternity.

It's not that he can't handle things at Motown.

Instead, new troubles arose.

"The city lord of the neighboring Red Cloud City has sent word that he wishes to invite you to a meeting."

Motown has changed owners, which is good news for the neighboring cities.

Everyone started from roughly the same point, but MoCity made a fortune. How could they not be envious?
Now that Mo City has a new city lord, Red Cloud City can't help but want to test the waters.

Due to time constraints, Ning Yun only had a rough understanding of the situation in Mo City.

I don't know much about the surrounding cities.

"What is the purpose of this Red Cloud City?"

Ning Yun had only heard Willis's butler mention it once, and it seemed that Willis and Mo City were old enemies.

Willis was about to speak when Ning Yun interrupted him, "Wait a minute, let's talk in the conference room."

They say a new broom sweeps clean, and she can't afford to lose this first battle; she has to win.

We have to win beautifully!

The vast city lord's mansion had several meeting rooms, and Butler Willis led them to the largest one.

Ning Yun also gave a brief introduction, saying, "We'll all be colleagues from now on, so let's get to know each other first."

Previously, Willis was the host, while Ning Yun was the guest, so they didn't have many opportunities to get to know each other.

Since we'll all be working together from now on, let's just give a detailed self-introduction.

Butler Willis was neither surprised nor angry about Ning Yun's act of placing her own people in the plant.

On the contrary, he felt somewhat relieved.

He had previously worried that Ning Yun was too young and easily embarrassed to take on such a heavy responsibility.

After all, even a clever and resourceful person may not be able to manage a city-state well.

Fortunately, judging from Ning Yun's current behavior, she still cares about Mo City quite a bit.

Willis's attitude also changed, and he became more respectful towards Ning Yun.

After everyone introduced themselves, Butler Willis began to describe the area around Motown.

“There are seven cities around Mo City, most of which are first or second-tier city-states. Only Red Cloud City is a third-tier city-state and is Mo City’s biggest competitor.”

According to Willis's description, Red Cloud City is not far from Mo City.

Mo City advanced to a third-tier city-state through commerce, but Red Cloud City relied on military force.

To be precise, they were guards protecting the caravan.

In Red Cloud City, there are many teams that specialize in protecting caravans.

Only when both city-states have distinct advantages and depend on each other can they both advance.

However, the current city lord of Red Cloud City is very ambitious and has always wanted to be promoted to a level four city-state, but has not yet succeeded.

He believes that Red Cloud City's inability to advance is due to Mo City hindering their development.

He once considered destroying MoCity.

But Mo City is rich and has a high-level protective shield, so it is not afraid of Red Cloud City at all.

Lord Adrian has always ignored Red Cloud City.

Or rather, he only cared about Mo City and ignored all other city-states.

This also led to the surrounding small city-states all taking Red Cloud City as their leader.

Despite having countless enemies, Motown has managed to remain the undisputed leader in the region, relying solely on its hard power.

Ning Yun was sweating profusely; this Mo City was a bit too hot to handle.

Chen Yuanyuan asked curiously, "Doesn't Motown have any friendly cities?"

Although city-states are in competition, one can secure their position by making many friends and few enemies.

Willis, the butler, was a little embarrassed. "Actually, Mo City and Red Cloud City used to have a good relationship."

Otherwise, only these two cities would have been promoted to level three city-states.

But at some point, the relationship between the two city-states became very awkward.

Or rather, Red Cloud City sees Mo City as its biggest competitor. As a result, the relationship between the two cities' leaders has become very delicate.

However, the relationship among ordinary residents has always been good.

"When are they coming?" Ning Yun asked.

Motown needs to be prepared for their first meeting.

She certainly didn't want Mo City to be invaded just a few days after she became the city lord.

If war breaks out, all the merchants will definitely flee.

Wouldn't that completely disrupt her plans?

Fortunately, the city lord of Red Cloud City will not arrive for another three days, so they have plenty of time.

Willis, the butler, took Cheng Yuanyuan and Gao Tian away and showed them around Mo City.

Ji Jia went to the Mo City Guard, intending to give them a taste of their own medicine.

Leon also came along this time. He was more interested in Red Cloud City, but unfortunately he couldn't go there now.

Yu Shi could only lead his team to wander around the city to find out the situation of each caravan.

Caravans from other factions haven't arrived yet; only China has sent people first.

Ning Yun did not restrict them, but instead provided them with a shop and let them conduct their own research.

Now, Ning Yun only has Xiao Qichen by her side.

She originally wanted to move the house here and settle down in Motown.

However, for safety reasons, they still chose to stay at the city lord's mansion.

However, it wasn't Lord Adrian's room.

His bedroom was completely sealed off, and Ning Yun chose another bedroom.

The large garden of the city lord's mansion has now become a paradise for Xiaobai and Xuexue.

Knowing that these were the new city lord's pets, no one dared to restrain them.

Ning Yun and Xiao Qichen remained in the conference room, discussing the issue of dismissing officials in Mo City.

Ning Yun opened the official list in the city-state system and saw a dense list of names.

"I feel like I'm playing an Emperor's Rise game."

The attributes and loyalty of officials are clearly displayed on it.

Among them, Willis the butler has the highest loyalty, at 85.

The rest are mostly concentrated in the 50s and 60s, and even some in the 20s and 30s.

Those with low loyalty are mostly the lowest-ranking officials.

Ning Yun doesn't have enough manpower to replace them.

Xiao Qichen saw that Ning Yun had written many notes in her notebook, and gave her an idea.

"You can hold a selection meeting to select talent."

Just like the imperial examinations in ancient times, only those talents personally selected by the emperor would be loyal to him.

"However, I would suggest that you select candidates in two batches, and you could also consider Chinese candidates."

After all, people from the two worlds think completely differently.

The people of Mo City are more loyal to the city lord, but their thinking is rigid, and they may not be able to understand Ning Yun's reforms.

The Chinese are quick-witted, but lack fear of the city lord and may cause trouble.

Ning Yun fell into deep thought, "Let's select a portion from the people of Mo City first."

At the very least, we should wait until she's firmly in her position before considering any reforms.

Xiao Qichen watched Ning Yun working diligently, his mind filled with many thoughts.

The survival game has completely deviated from his memories of his previous life, and he has to figure everything out from scratch.

Fortunately, she is still alive.

For the people of Motown, the sudden passing of the old city lord caught them completely off guard.

No one knows what kind of temperament or personality the new city lord will have.

Just when everyone, especially the caravans, was filled with anxiety, the new city lord issued his first order.

The fact that all of Motown's policies remain unchanged has been a relief to everyone.

However, the "talent recruitment order" caused quite a stir in Motown.
