Civilization Paradise

Chapter 151 Price Reduction (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Maple Night) (Fifth Update)
The question is, where did they conjure up their food from?

This was something that Long Ming couldn't understand at all.

The strangest thing is that when the great catastrophe struck and everyone was on the verge of death, it was the Lord of Qianluo City who stepped forward and promised everyone that they would be fed and survive.

He actually succeeded, somehow acquiring a massive amount of resources and successfully establishing the mountain city. It is precisely because of this that all the people admire the city lord so much.

Similar cases have also occurred in Star Tower City and Sin Abyss City, these two sanctuary cities were established in the exact same way and at the same time as Mountain City.

As for the remaining scattered cities of refuge, the reason they are so weak and unable to develop is ultimately because they cannot provide enough resources.

They produce not enough food for themselves, and every year they have to work for the three major cities and spend money to buy supplies in order to barely survive.

"Long Ming?"

At this moment, Yunyu saw Longming standing there in a daze and called out.

"what happened?"

Long Ming immediately came to his senses.

"No, I was just seeing you spacing out."

"It's alright, haven't you finalized the procurement details yet?"

"Seventh Sister is haggling with Manager Gou; prices have gone up a lot recently."

Yunyu said to Longming with a smile.

"Oh."

Long Ming nodded.

At this point, Xiaoqi and Manager Gou finally reached a consensus and said with a smile.

"It's agreed that the price is 20 Shanxi coins per kilogram of rice, and this price cannot be changed."

"No problem, how many do you want?"

"100 tons."

Xiao Qi said to Manager Gou.

"Sure, but you'll need to show me a purchase authorization letter. It's not that I don't trust you, but things are very strict now."

Manager Gou replied with a smile.

"Give."

Xiao Qi took out an authorization letter stamped with the seal of the Mountain City Lord's Mansion.

Long Ming was somewhat surprised when he saw the ID card that Xiao Qi took out and asked Yun Yu about it.

"Are the controls really that strict now?"

"That's right, we're making this purchase for the guild, and it's authorized by Guild Leader Luo Xue. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to make these purchases at all."

Yunyu explained to Longming in a low voice.

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Long Ming nodded slightly.

At this point, Manager Gou, having verified the authenticity of the authorization letter, said with a broad smile.

"No problem, I'll arrange a truck to deliver the goods to you right away."

"By the way, could you please put a few bags in the trunk for me?"

Xiao Qi said to Manager Gou.

"Small things."

Manager Gou replied with a smile.

More than an hour later.

After watching all the purchased grains being loaded onto the truck, Xiao Qi led Long Ming back to the vehicle.

She started the car while asking Long Mingdao.

"Long Ming, you haven't purchased supplies yet, have you?"

"No."

Long Ming shook his head slightly in reply.

"We'll give you two bags of rice from the trunk."

"Is this a good idea? Isn't it inappropriate?"

"Why is it inappropriate? You don't think I'm using public funds for personal reasons, do you?"

Xiao Qi replied with a smile.

"Hehe, that's all."

"Don't worry, we bought all of these with our own money."

"How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."

"No need, you've helped us so much, how could we accept your money?"

"OK then."

Long Ming stopped being polite.

"Let us take it back to you."

Xiao Qi said to Long Ming with a smile.

"Row."

Long Ming nodded.

More than an hour later.

Johnny and Long Ming carried two bags of rice back to the rented room.

"I've put it here for you."

Johnny placed the rice against the wall.

"Okay, let me get you a glass of water."

Long Ming said to Johnny, "No need, they're all waiting for me down there. We need to hurry back and report."

"Alright, then I won't keep you any longer."

"Bye-Bye."

Johnny waved and left.

Long Ming watched Johnny's departing figure and sighed softly. For some reason, he had a feeling that a storm was brewing.

He closed the door, went into the bedroom, and sat down in front of the computer.

Long Ming opened a webpage and searched for information about the control measures in Shancheng Mountain, as well as the reactions of the other two cities.

After all, Shanchengshan's current actions are somewhat like stabbing himself in the back.

After checking it, Long Ming gasped in shock.

Star Tower City and Sin Abyss City also announced resource controls yesterday, and their control policies are exactly the same as those of Mountain City.

He even suspected that the three cities might be working together to do this.
However, Long Ming quickly dismissed the idea, since the conflicts between the three cities were far from minor, and cooperation was unlikely.

However, if all three cities do this, the negative impact of the matter will be greatly reduced.

After all, if one city does this, people might be very dissatisfied and even try to move, but if three cities do the same thing? Who can you complain to, and there's nowhere to go to change locations?

In fact, the comments online are exactly as Long Ming guessed, with countless netizens expressing their anger and helplessness.

"I'm starting to suspect that the three major cities are ganging up on us."

"Yes, this is clearly leaving people no way to survive!"

"Then do you have a solution? We can't fight back at all."

"We were already dirt poor, the economy was terrible, and now there are power outages, factories are almost all going out of business, and I'm unemployed."

"Right now, only Civilization Park can make money."

"Yup!"

Long Ming's expression grew increasingly solemn as he looked at the messages; it seemed that more and more players would be joining.

The next morning.

Long Ming lay on the ground, doing push-ups repeatedly, sweat dripping from his forehead.

hum~
Suddenly, the phone screen next to me lit up.

Long Ming turned his head and glanced at the screen, only to find that Xiao Qi had tagged everyone in the group chat.

Curious, he opened WeChat and saw that Xiaoqi had posted an announcement.

"Congratulations to President Luo Xue on successfully completing the observatory mission."

Congratulations, President!

"Throw flowers!"

The crowd left excited comments.

Long Ming was also shocked to see this scene. Luo Xue hadn't rested and had chosen to run the Observatory dungeon continuously.

"Brilliant!"

Long Ming also sent a message in the group.

Her physical condition must be exceptionally good; otherwise, even with a gaming pod, few people could withstand such high-intensity dungeon runs.

At this moment, Tang Ye and the others saw Long Ming pop up and called out to him.

"Hey bro, when are you going to take us on some missions?"

"Yup!"

Everyone asked enthusiastically.

"Uh, I'm not capable of leading people. I was just lucky last time. I'm outta here."

After Long Ming finished speaking, he closed WeChat.

Just then, his phone rang.

Long Ming glanced at the caller ID and realized it was Little Fatty calling, so he answered it.

"whats the matter."

"Brother, those guys have driven the price of the drug down to 7900. Should we buy some too?"

The chubby boy asked with a smile.

"Don't move, wait for me to log on."

A cold glint flashed in Long Ming's eyes, and he said to Little Fatty in a deep voice.

"it is good."

Little Fatty quickly replied.

Long Ming immediately hung up the phone, walked to the bedside, picked up the helmet, put it on, and logged into the game.

When he opened his eyes, he was already in the City of Stars.

Little Fatty immediately came running over, grinning as he asked.

"Big brother, what are you planning to do?"

"Let me consider."

Long Ming opened the online store and searched for drug categories.

Sure enough, the price was driven down to around 7900, and those people listed a thousand potions priced at 8000.

This has led many individual sellers, eager to sell their goods and earn money, to purchase real-world supplies, and they've been listing their potions at very low prices, causing prices to plummet rapidly.

"Wow, these guys have listed another thousand potions, and the price is only 7500. They're still trying to lower the price."

Little Fatty said to Long Ming.

"Let them pressure them."

Long Ming stared at the mall interface, his eyes growing increasingly cold.
