I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

"Forehead..."

Amiya was a little embarrassed. What was this? A fee for playing with someone? Well, that was quite a lot. These cards were decorated with many gems. Not to mention their collectible value, their intrinsic value was already very high!

She wanted to say something more, but the doctor put his arm around her shoulder and said with a smile:

"Take it if they give it to you. He doesn't need these toys. Don't let their kindness go to waste."

"Ok."

Amiya complied.

Just then, unfamiliar footsteps reached the ears of the three of them.

Bai Yue turned around in confusion, only to see high school student Xiong Xiong, the leader of the group, Lin Dong, walking in with Zhen Li in his arms.

Bai Yue tilted her head slightly: "Lin Dong, what's going on here?"

Winter was taken aback to see these three here, and her expression tightened as she said:

“Truth is sleepy. Isn’t there a recliner here? I brought her here to sleep for a while. What, Your Excellency, is this your private property? If so, I’ll be leaving now.”

Bai Yue shook her head indifferently: "No, no need. This is a public place, it's just that not many people dare to come in. You can come as you please."

Then he smiled at Doctor Amiya and said, "Alright, we've played for a while now. Let's go out and enjoy ourselves today. The operators have asked me to help them with the bonfire party."

"Ah."

"Hey, Xiaobai, I can't move those logs."

"Then you just wait to eat."

"Hey, good!"

.........

Gala.

The operators surrounded the towering pile of dry wood, their eyes filled with excitement. As the host, Bai Yue took on the task of igniting it without hesitation, holding a compound bow and receiving the rocket from Amber.

Whoosh!

The rocket hit the oil on the firewood.

rub!

The flames spread rapidly, illuminating the surroundings and stealing the light from the distance.

Cheers

......

On this rare, joyful starry night, the operators sang and danced, playing and laughing tirelessly. Even the most serious people showed slight smiles, enjoying the atmosphere.

Bai Yue, who was being fed by a maid, was suddenly patted on the shoulder. When she turned around, she saw Amiya's excited smile and a camera in her hand. It was obvious what she wanted to do.

Bai Yue wiped her mouth and said calmly, "In principle, I don't want any of my video or photographic records to be leaked."

"Eh~" Amiya said in disappointment.

But Bai Yue chuckled and said, "However, we'll make an exception tonight. What do you want to film?"

"Yay!" Amiya jumped up excitedly, waving her arms and legs. "The operators who wanted to take individual photos have all done so. Next, I want to take photos of the campfire and everyone else!"

Bai Yue tilted her head and said, "It sounds like a family photo."

"Yes, yes, let's all come from Rhodes Island!"

"Sure, send me a copy after you're done taking the picture, so I can keep it as a souvenir."

"no problem!"

The young girl from Carter quickly relayed the proposal to all the operators, and no operator could bear to refuse this small wish of their young leader.

Regardless of their feelings, everyone eventually stood in a row on the makeshift stone steps made of mudstone, located next to the campfire.

The bright campfire illuminated everyone's face.

Amiya set up the camera, scheduled the time for taking pictures, and then hurriedly ran into the crowd, standing next to Kal'tsit who had rushed over from the medical department. Bai Yue stood next to her, sandwiched between Kal'tsit and the Doctor.

Amiya beamed and shouted, "Three, two, one, cheese!"

"Cheese!" Xn

click!

......

The party lasted for an unknown amount of time, but everyone was smiling.

Chapter 166 Bilateral Trade

On the top floor of the Lungmen Guard Bureau building, Wei Yanwu's luxurious office area.

The old dragon was leaning back in a chair, holding a pipe and puffing out smoke. There was a glass of clear tea on the table, and soothing music was playing in the room. He looked very comfortable.

Just as his eyes were glazed over.

With a 'bang,' the office door was pushed open forcefully.

Swire's highly recognizable voice came through: "Commander Wei, the monitoring center has detected that Chernobog is sending city-state authentication codes to us. If this continues, it will crash into us again!"

"what?!"

Wei Yanwu almost dropped his pipe.

No way, he's coming again?! Could it be that that brat forgot his roots after just a trip to the Ursus border city in his core vehicle? Is he going to strike his own kind first thing after landing?

No, that's not right!

With Chen Huijie and Lin Yuxia around, and Rhodes Island still there, that womanizing brat shouldn't have gone this far.

Wei Yanwu took a drag of his cigarette to calm himself down, and then asked composedly, "Can you get in touch with them?"

Swire shook her head: "Theoretically, it's impossible. From what I saw last time, the communication base stations there were basically all broken. They couldn't possibly repair them in such a short time."

"Theoretically..."

Wei Yanwu realized what was going on, his lips twitched, he tapped his pipe on the ashtray, and said irritably, "Then tell me your plan, Officer Swire. This concerns the safety of Lungmen, so don't keep me in suspense."

"Oh."

Swire dared not be cheeky anymore and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well... actually, the deputy mayor of Chernobog, Lin Yuxia, contacted me through Rhodes Island's mobile base station. They want to stop near Lungmen for large-scale trade."

Wei Yanwu's face darkened: "Then what about when you said they were going to crash into us!"

"Hey, that's none of my business!"

Swire quickly waved her hand, shifting the blame: "That's what the people in the monitoring center said. I was just repeating what they were going to tell you. Besides..."

"This is, after all, a private communication, and its reliability can't compare to an official report. What if some scoundrel... cough, Lin Yuxia lies to me and actually crashes into the Dragon Gate? I can't take the responsibility. Commander Wei, you should make the decision."

Wei Yanwu resisted the urge to throw the ashtray. He thought to himself, "Never mind, she's my old brother's granddaughter after all. I'll just have to bear with it."

He took another drag of his cigarette and asked, "Can you still get in touch with them now?"

Swire nodded: "Sure, we were just on the phone."

"..."

Wei Yanwu paused for a moment, then beckoned with his hand: "Then call back now, and I'll personally contact Lin Yuxia."

"Oh."

Swire took out his phone from his coat pocket, opened it, tapped a few times, and after a few rings, Lin Yuxia's voice, slightly raspy, came from the other end:

"Hey, Swire, is there anything else?"

Swire glanced at Wei Yanwu and nodded, saying, "Yes, Commander Wei is looking for you. You can talk to him."

"Okay, I got it."

"Ah."

Swire walked to Wei Yanwu's desk, pushed her phone towards him, and asked, "Do I need to go out?"

"up to you."

Wei Yanwu put down his pipe, turned on the speakerphone on his phone, and said with a smile, "Miss Lin, congratulations. When I was drinking with your father a few days ago, I told him about your current position, but he didn't believe me."

“Governor Wei, you flatter me. I was just lucky for a while, and I can’t compare to my father.”

"Don't be so modest. Not many young people can achieve what you've done..."

“No, no…”

The two exchanged pleasantries, while Swire sat beside them, inwardly rolling her eyes. *Longmen curse*, what a damn pretentious rat! He's just a lowly deputy mayor, acting all high and mighty.

Bai Yue's younger brother also promised me that as long as I go there, he'll give me the position of deputy mayor. This young lady will be happy to sit with you in no time!

And you, you stinky old dragon, always acting all high and mighty like some big shot. When I switch jobs, I'll call you three times a day so you can praise me to your heart's content!

Shi Huaiya gritted her teeth as the two finally finished their small talk and got down to business.

Wei Yanwu took another puff of his pipe and said casually, "I heard that Miss Lin wants to dock the Chernobog core city near Lungmen for large-scale trade. Is that true?"

"Naturally, Chernobog has suffered a disaster. Whether it's replenishing basic living resources, demolishing and rebuilding buildings, repairing urban pipelines, or acquiring mobile blocks, all of these tasks are currently pending."

?

Wei Yanwu was a little confused and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Miss Lin, the previous part is fine, but regarding the mobile block, although the support agreement we signed previously gave you a discount, this is still a bit... Could it be that that little... is he willing to take out his own private assets to subsidize this?"

Lin Yuxia's affirmative voice came from the other end of the phone: "That's right, Mr. Wei. As the noble lord who rules Chernobog, His Highness Dmitri is willing to contribute a portion of his private assets to the city's reconstruction."

"However, since most of these assets are rare treasures, we need to cash out the funds in Longmen first before proceeding with the next step of trade. If Mr. Wei could open a special trading port for us, we would be extremely grateful."

Wei Yanwu was startled: "He's planning to sell so much stuff?"

My goodness, this kid has no intention of living a proper life! He's such a spendthrift, won't my niece suffer if she lives with him in the future?

He quickly advised, "It's not that bad, it's not that bad. If he really needs money, I can lend him some personally. It would be an international laughing stock if word got out that a duke was forced to sell his ancestral property. Why don't you try to persuade him?"

Lin Yuxia suppressed her smile and quickly replied, "No, Mr. Wei, although there are many things, they are not what you think. They are just some unexpected gains, which can be used for our trade."

Wei Yanwu thought for a moment: "Did you go out and rob the surrounding nobles during the days you disappeared?"

Lin Yuxia immediately denied it: "Absolutely not! Every gold coin in His Highness Dmitry's possession is clean and can withstand scrutiny from the Imperial Council!"

Wow, it really is!

Wei Yanwu, being a seasoned veteran, certainly understands the so-called claim that what the authorities deny is the truth.

But he didn't intend to expose it. After all, as the special plenipotentiary representative of the Chernobog Reconstruction Committee, that kid had the 'legitimate right to plunder' the surrounding nobles. It was his skill to be able to plunder them, and he would be in the right even if the matter went to the Imperial Diet.

“Very good, Ms. Lin, you have given me a wonderful surprise. Alright, let’s hold this bilateral trade meeting at Port 7. I warmly welcome you.”

"Officer Swire will handle the specifics with you; she's an expert."

"Hehe, thank you for your understanding, Mr. Wei. See you at Longmen."

"Yes, goodbye, Miss Lin."

Chapter 167 A True Return to Hometown in Wealth

On this day, Penguin Logistics sped through the streets of Lungmen at its usual speed, keeping the ticket printing machines at red-hot speeds.

They were followed by a group of gangsters on motorcycles or in vans.

"Wuhu, that's exciting!"

Exusiai cheered as she loaded the rubber bullet.

Just as she was about to peek out and fire a few shots, Texas, who was sitting next to her, immediately pulled her back into the car.

"how..."

Before she could voice her question, loud sirens blared from all directions.

"I go!"

Croissant, who was driving, exclaimed, "There are police cars all around us! Who of you has offended the Guard Bureau recently?"

"I can't come."

Exusiai looked blank, but her hands moved quickly. She immediately opened the hidden compartment inside the car and put the gun in there, so that she wouldn't be caught by the police and have to pay an additional fine for illegally using a controlled weapon.
