Monster Pet Evolution-Chapter 830 - Subtle Infiltration
After he returned, Gao Peng ordered people to put up notices:
“Lord Zhen has performed a great service by reporting the rebels and is promoted to Senator of the Wind City of Stormy Country. He is responsible for overseeing trade between big shops in the city, as well as for managing taxes and supervising public security in the city. He has the second-order of command.”
“Dad, I have good news for you!” the daughter of the Zhen family opened the wooden door and dashed into the house.
Lord Zhen, who was sighing on his chair, turned around. Seeing it was his favorite third daughter, his mood got a little better, “What good news?”
“You’ve been promoted to Senator of Wind City!”
Lord Zhen was about to faint.
How cunning!
…
“Phew– we finally made it,” a stalwart elder at the edge of Withered Country’s border sat on the shoulder of a crimson-armored general. He frowned as he looked at the humans coming to and fro in the city ahead.
“We’re one step late. Perhaps I should consider capturing a speed type Familiar. This is too slow,” the elder contemplated.
“Hmph!” sensing its master’s thoughts, the crimson-armored general below the elder gave a humph of discontent.
“Okay, okay, okay, I don’t want any Familiars besides you,” the elder comforted the Familiar.
The crimson-armored general nodded slowly, its crimson pupils locked on the city ahead. There was a hint of bloodlust in its gaze, impatient to charge in and slaughter.
“Have patience,” the elder halted his Familiar because he saw there were many Ling Clan people in the city.
If it were all mutated people in the city, he might not think so much, but with so many of his own kind, the elder was a little worried.
Some strangeness showed in his eyes because judging from what the elder saw, the Ling Clan people in the city didn’t seem to have been tortured. They are walking under the sun in the open.
There weren’t any marks of enslavement on their necks or faces either.
“What are these mutated people doing…?” The old man muttered to himself.
Walking into the city, Human Clan and Ling Clan mingled together on the streets.
After entering the city, on the billboard on the left were regulations:
The city prohibits private battles. If there are violations, they will be dealt with according to severity.Property is the sacred personal belonging of each person. The city prohibits seizing other people’s property in ways other than legitimate trade. If there are violations, the violator will be fined one hundred times the amount.Each trade in the city secured by the Human Clan. All legitimate trades will pay a 2% tax to the Human Clan.Mutated people who decide to settle in Withered region will enjoy three years of taxless policy.The rules above apply to all races.The final interpretation belongs to the Human Clan Alliance.What is this?
The elder frowned.
What was written on the billboard was interesting. The elder looked at it with judgment at first, but his expression changed as he read on.
Although mutated people haven’t experienced an era of internet information explosion, it doesn’t mean they are less intelligent than Human Clan. They just lack experience.
“What tricks are they playing…?” the elder shook his head.
But it seems like the Human Clan that returned to Jiutian Shidi after 10,000 years don’t want to go into a full-blown war.
The elder had complex feelings, restraining his thoughts of slaughter.
He heard the Human Clan also has High God Tier Familiars, so it’s best for everyone if war doesn’t explode. After that battle 10,000 years ago, he knows better than anyone the cruelty of war.
Too many old friends died back then.
Walking into the city from the gate, the elder saw a very new shop in the center of the street.
The shop had crazy traffic. Everyone entering and leaving nearly blocked the shop’s entrance.
The elder sneaked in with the crowd. On the shelves on both sides of the shop were some new items he’s never seen before.
“Radio…sewing machine…game console?”
The elder read these words syllable by syllable, his face filled with confusion. What are these things?
“I’ll buy two for a try?” The elder thought with hesitation.
…
“Is this really effective?” A White Dragon Tribe elder asked doubtfully. Can they conquer Mutated Tribe with just those items? It must be a joke.
“Look at our income this year,” Ji Hanwu gestured to his secretary.
The secretary nodded, then opened the powerpoint. Rows of stats appeared from the projector on the wall.
“Si…this much?”
“Are these mutated people all rich?”
Ji Hanwu saw he had made the right atmosphere and continued, “Do you know how much we would lose if we go to war?”
“First of all, death is inevitable in war. And the battlefield is constantly changing, what if a top-tier Familiar from the Mutated Tribe sneaks behind us and kills?”
Ji Hanwu’s point was very acute.
The Monster Trainer from the tribe remained silent.
“We may not fear, but what about our family and friends? They’re very fragile.”
“Do you know why the battle hasn’t happened? Because the mutated people have concerns too. We worry that they might not follow the rules, they also worry we might not follow the rules,” Ji Hanwu said.
“Unless we can exterminate the majority of the mutated people within a short period of time and capture all of their top-tier trainers…but unfortunately, we can’t as of now.”
“If we go into battle rashly, even the winning side needs a long time to heal their wounds, and it will bring grief and regret,” Ji Hanwu said seriously, “So the purpose of this conference is that I hope you can temporarily restrain your hatred. There are many ways to eliminate the enemy, not just physically, but also spiritually.”
“What do you mean by spiritually?” Bai Tongming asked after a moment of silence.
“A radio costs less than twenty yuan to make, but selling the radio to mutated people and using mutated people’s currency to purchase material– the profit during that period is 1000 percent. We sell these items to the Mutated Tribe, and we use the revenue to purchase meaningful materials to nurture our Familiars.
“But what if the mutated people stop buying radios?”
“We still have game consoles, televisions, laundry washers, and other electrical appliances.”
“But we can only use them with electricity. Many places in Jiutian Shidi don’t have electricity,” a tribal elder asked.
“We can build power plants for them and give the operation rights to local friendly Mutated Tribe. This will also be a chance to rope in some noble mutated people,” Ji Hanwu said as a matter of fact.
After promising to give these tribes part of the profit, these tribes would also be pulled onto this chariot of economic warfare, and we won’t have to worry about them being a hindrance in this economic war.
The specific steps of implementation are naturally not as simple as Ji Hanwu described. Those steps will be handed to the professionals.
All the top economists of Earth Star are allied together.
In Stormy Country, Gao Peng also resigned from the office of governor. After he destroyed the biggest rebel force, the other organizations have become much more placid.
Returning to Earth Star was natural because Gao Peng had more important matters. He received Olu’s message. Its parents have come looking….
