A few days passed in a flash.

The aftermath work was basically completed.

Sand Spring City quickly ended its turmoil.

Xu Tianhua reported, "The remnants of the six towns have all been eradicated. Under the governance of Sand Spring City, all thirty-two small towns are now under control."

Of the thirty-two towns under Sand Spring City, except for Desolate Valley, Stone Furnace, Iron Mountain, Black Sand, and the destroyed Eagle’s Nest town, the rest are under local indigenous control.

Among these towns.

Twenty-one have already aligned with humans.

In other words, six towns need to be eradicated.

Hang Yu assigned this task to the Spirit Sword Bureau to lead, with Azure Dragon and other teams, as well as indigenous forces, providing assistance.

Hang Yu laughed heartily, "So fast? The Spirit Sword Bureau is quite efficient!"

Xu Tianhua said, "The biggest beneficiaries of this action are them. As vested interests, how could their efficiency not improve?"

The towns directly controlled by the human race reached eleven.

Hang Yu happily gave the New York Spirit Sword Bureau team three towns.

These three towns include the best two among the six eradicated towns, plus the previously destroyed Eagle’s Nest Town. The Eagle’s Nest Town itself was not bad; it’s easy to defend and hard to attack, and its position is advantageous.

It’s just that the relationship was completely destroyed.

Repairing the buildings or arrays would require a lot of materials and crystal stones.

With the United States as the backing of the Spirit Sword Bureau, such huge resources are not a big deal to them, though they are colossal to ordinary people.

Azure Dragon controls the territories: Sand Spring City, Stone Furnace Town, Desolate Valley Town.

Spirit Sword Bureau’s territories: Black Sand, Iron Mountain, including five towns.

The remaining three towns are controlled by three human teams from Desert Province, forming a relatively stable situation.

The excessive human population was spread out.

The territory’s resources will be thoroughly exploited and utilized.

Zhao Ming also reported the progress of the work, "We have stationed Azure Dragon’s permanent squads in the twenty-one indigenous towns, which can monitor the town situation on one hand, and on the other hand, collect data on local production, specialties, and resources to lay the foundation for our development."

Hang Yu said, "Has the construction of the teleportation array in Black Sand Town started? The Spirit Sword Bureau took a lot of benefits this time, and I heard that their American backers are increasing their investment in the New York Spirit Sword Bureau, so now the materials and crystal stones should be sufficient."

Zhao Ming nodded and said, "Rest assured, Luke and the others have already started the work. It won’t take many days before it will be gradually completed, and the entire territory will be covered by the teleportation network."

Hang Yu said, "Good! Very well! Next, we need to set up the base stations to ensure the entire Sand Spring City region is covered by a local network, so these indigenous folks can also experience the convenience of the internet and wireless communication!"

Hang Xiaobai stood behind Hang Yu, daydreaming.

Upon hearing this, her eyes lit up.

Hang Yu was ready to directly transport enchanted equipment here or use Spirit Realm materials to build facilities like base stations.

Believe it.

Not long after.

Indigenous people in Sand Spring City’s range will be able to use phones and computers and connect to the local network.

Miss Bai is a proper indigenous from the Spirit Realm.

Bai feels that she is quite qualified to speak, as most Spirit Realm indigenous lives are not much better than primitive people.

From her perspective.

Indigenous people like to fight because they’re bored!

After all, most Spirit Realm species are rarely intelligent species, so they can’t establish stable civilizations, let alone arts and entertainment.

Once the culture from the human world invades.

The indigenous will soon understand what life really is!

Of course, not everyone is like Bai, and not all indigenous people are as gentle in nature as Illusion Demons, but it’s easy to foresee that once human society’s culture and entertainment invade the Spirit Realm, it will certainly transform indigenous life dramatically.

Zhao Ming asked, "How much Azure Dragon Crystal Stone do we have in reserve?"

Sand Spring City’s finance officer and quartermaster, Er Gou, immediately reported, "About 6,200 Blue Crystals, around 30,000 Green Crystal Stones, roughly 110,000 White Crystal Stones, and over 200,000 Gray Crystal Stones!"

He added, "Oh, but Sand Spring City needs to recruit soldiers daily, which causes the crystal stone consumption to be quite fast!"

Zhao Ming said, "The Sand Spring City trading market is about to start operating. I want to apply to lock in half of the crystal stones, to be used as trading preparation funds for Sand Spring City!"

Bai heard this, frowned.

Sand Spring City’s crystal stones seem numerous.

But they’re actually not enough, as money is already scarce. Why lock in half then?

Dog thought for a moment and said, "Oh, boss, money must be used to make money, otherwise the stock will eventually run out. I think if these capitals are operated well, they can soon yield us multiples in profit."

Er Gou, being a finance-loving dog well-read in "Das Kapital" and "The Wealth of Nations," immediately understood the plan and thus showed his paw to support Zhao Ming.

"Okay!" Hang Yu nodded, "Our resources and crystal stones are temporarily abundant, so they won’t be a burden on military construction in the short term. Go ahead and work, I want to see results soon."

Zhao Ming smiled with confidence, "Results will appear soon!"

......

Qingxi Town.

Fox Three, the lord, was very busy.

He was formulating hunting and gathering plans with his subordinates.

After the overthrow of Great Lord Kaliemlo, he felt the burden disappear from his shoulders, making the whole person immensely relaxed.

A year’s tax-free period.

Is a golden opportunity for Qingxi Town!

They must roll up their sleeves and work hard!

"Lord, the envoy from Sand Spring City has arrived!"

Fox Three showed a suspicious expression, but he didn’t dare to neglect and invited the envoy in. The visitor was a female human with fair skin, a slender figure, and well-dressed in holy profession equipment.

Fox Three had seen her before.

Impressed deeply by her.

The strongest holy professional beside the new city lord!

"Hello, Lord Fox Three, I am Jiang Nan from Sand Spring City," announced the Sand Spring City envoy, "Under the orders of the city lord, I’ve come specifically to bring you good news!"

"Good news? What good news!"

"The Sand Spring City Trading Center has officially opened!"

Fox Three looked bewildered. Trading Center? What is that?

Jiang Nan took out a large form, "We have registered and published the prices for over a hundred common materials, equipment, and skill stones. If Lord Fox Three finds these prices satisfactory, you may voluntarily sell the materials listed here, and Sand Spring City will exchange them for corresponding crystal stones."

"What? Is this real? Let me have a look first!"

Level 10 White Quality Cold Iron, each purchase price of 0.8 White Crystals!

Level 10 White Quality Fire Copper, each purchase price of 1 White Crystal!

Ten White Quality Black Iron Wood, purchase price of 1.4 White Crystals!

......

Level 11-12 Light White Quality armor purchase price is uniformly 10 White Crystals (if durability is lost, the price will be reduced based on the damage proportion.)

Level 11-12 Light White Quality weapon purchase price is uniformly 12 White Crystals (if durability is lost, the price will be reduced based on the damage proportion.)

First Tier White Skill Stone...

Beginner Production Skill Stone...

If it were in the real world, anyone who saw this price list would definitely curse Hang’s ancestors across eighteen generations.

This isn’t buying.

This is simply daylight robbery!

In the real world, a Level 12 Light White weapon, as long as it’s not lacking in durability, even if its attributes are quite mediocre, could at least sell for 100 White Crystals, and if the equipment itself is a small top-grade item, selling for 150 White Crystals wouldn’t be strange at all.

After all, a Level 12 Light White piece of equipment already has attributes close to a Level 10 Dark Green item!

And a Level 10 Dark Green piece of equipment would start at least from two to three hundred White Crystals.

The atrociousness of this buying price is imaginable!

When Fox Three saw the price list, instead of getting angry, his eyes widened, and he immediately asked, "Is this real?"

"Our city lord keeps his promises. Does Lord Fox Three not trust him?" Jiang Nan affirmed, "For the items listed in this form, we’ll purchase however much you have using stone temple transmission transactions!"

Having said that.

She paused.

Added another sentence.

"Besides that, we also sell things. If you need any rare materials or items, that even if collected in Sand Spring City or within Desert Province you can’t find or skill stones and magic potion secret medicines you can’t make..."

"Well, for all those, if there’s any demand, feel free to place orders with us, Sand Spring City will provide you corresponding quotations. As long as the crystal stones suffice, there’s nothing we can’t procure!"

Jiang Nan was full of confidence!
