Devouring City: My Mobile City Evolves Infinitely - Chapter 39

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The monthly test was a task jointly issued by the leaders of the two factions. The city lords of mobile cities under their command had to strictly abide by the rules, or else they would not be protected by the two large mobile cities.

The monthly test was held once a month. During the monthly test, all the city lords of the subordinate mobile cities had to complete the specific task issued by the two leaders, such as capturing a mobile city, discovering ores, or obtaining something valuable.

The task of this monthly test was to obtain enough ore resources!

And if the task was not completed, then that mobile city would get very little resources this month!

Therefore, the monthly test was extremely important in the hearts of all the city lords of mobile cities.

Bai Chen and his men were enraged upon hearing this, but they could not do anything about it.

It could not be helped, Ouyang Ao indeed had the means to do so. In the recent few months, Ouyang Ao had surpassed him every time in the monthly tests.

“Humph, four days is enough to surpass you! You just wait and see!”

After he had finished speaking, Bai Chen led the group of men behind him into a building in front of them.

“You want to catch up with me in four days? Hehe…”

Ouyang Ao merely snorted at this coldly. Then, he too led the group of men behind him toward the building next to the one that Bai Chen and his men had just entered.

Because the Yan Huang Group was divided into two factions, the two large mobile cities each occupied a tall building.

Ouyang Ao expressed his strong disdain for what Bai Chen had said.

Indeed, it was impossible to catch up with him in four days unless Bai Chen could discover a gold mine or find something valuable. However, it was obviously impossible with such a short time!

Bai Chen walked straight in.

Not long after, Bai Chen and his men turned left and right and arrived at a conference room.

Bai Chen knocked on the door apprehensively and said, “Brother Qin, are you there?”

“En, come in!”

After a moment of silence, a voice was heard.

After Bai Chen had received the instruction and settled everyone behind him, he pushed open the door nervously and walked in.

The layout of the room was rather simple. There were only a few tables and a few chairs. However, there was a screen on each table. On the wall in front of them, there was a huge projection screen.

There were a few people sitting together in the room and discussing.

The person sitting at the head of the table was a middle-aged man in his thirties. His face was haggard, but his eyes were bright and his hair was slightly gray.

He was the leader of a large mobile city and had been handpicked by the city lords of a group of medium mobile cities. He was Qin Feng, the one specifically in charge of managing the small and medium mobile cities in this faction!

The tasks issued by the large mobile cities were also gathered and rewarded by Qin Feng.

And the words just now had come from his mouth.

“Bai Chen! You’re here. Have a seat!” Qin Feng said.

The people below were here to report the completion of their respective tasks. When Bai Chen came in, they only glanced at him briefly before taking turns to continue reporting the completion of their tasks.

Soon, it was Bai Chen’s turn.

“Bai Chen, how did the completion of your task go this time?” Qin Feng asked.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chen’s face sank instantly as he replied in a low voice, “That, I didn’t obtain anything…”

“What? There are only four days left until the monthly test and you still haven’t obtained anything?” Qin Feng said angrily.

There were actually many people who were handpicked like him. Each of them was responsible for a few people. During the monthly test, it was also the time for these people to compete against each other. If their results were unsatisfactory, the resources they would obtain would also be reduced accordingly.

The few people around him, who had heard him, looked at Bai Chen gloatingly.

“But, but I have made a major discovery!” Bai Chen seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly spoke.

Qin Feng’s face was still dark as he said, “What? In a case like yours, if not for any particularly important discovery, you will be expelled from the Yan Huang Group during the monthly test.”

“I’ve found out that the city lord of a small mobile city has the design blueprints for small detectors and drones! And it seems that he also has the design blueprint to upgrade the engine system!”

Bai Chen replied truthfully.

Boom!

Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, everyone present looked at Bai Chen indignantly.

Qin Feng immediately rebuked angrily, “Do you know the consequences of lying to me? If you think you can get away with it just by saying that, then you are gravely mistaken!”

They knew very well what the design blueprints for small detectors, drones, and the upgrade of engine systems meant. And because they knew this well, they did not believe that the city lord of a small mobile city would have so many blueprints!

The first reaction was to think that Bai Chen was lying to get away.

Seeing Qin Feng’s anger, Bai Chen immediately continued, “Brother, Brother Qin, of course I know this. How would I dare to lie to you? It’s true! If you don’t believe me, look!”

As he spoke, he took out the recording ball from his pocket and opened it.

Instantly, a video clip appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The image in the video was that of Luo En selling the design blueprints of small detectors at the marketplace, and also that of the frightening speed with which Luo En unleashed when he escaped later on from the attack by the White Tremor Mobile City.

When everyone saw the images in the video, they were completely shocked.

It was actually real! The city lord of a small mobile city actually had design blueprints!

Then, they stared greedily at the Luo Yang Mobile City in the video, wishing they could personally capture it and pocket those design blueprints.

“Bai Chen, you did very well, but just this piece of news is not enough. Do you have any way to track down the location of the Luo Yang Mobile City?” Qin Feng said happily after looking at the video.

“In one of my attacks, I had specially fired a tracking device onto the chassis of the Luo Yang Mobile City. It should be able to track it.” Bai Chen replied truthfully.

“Alright! If we can track him down, I will report the situation to the higher-ups at the monthly test. You will be rewarded in due time!” Qin Feng said happily.

To be able to obtain such information was extremely beneficial to him, so he was extremely happy.

Intense envy could be seen in the eyes of the people who were at the side.

“With so many blueprints, the strength of Luo Yang Mobile City won’t be as simple as a small mobile city… Yuan Mu, Qian Ling, Ouyang Wen, the three of you will assist Bai Chen in taking down the Luo Yang Mobile City and bring back those design blueprints. I will continue to arrange for people to assist you all thereafter.”

Qin Feng ordered loudly.

“Yes!”

Then, Bai Chen led Yuan Mu and the others out of the conference room and headed towards their respective mobile cities.

At this moment, Luo En did not know that an even greater danger was approaching!

…..

“Everyone, listen up. There’s a mountain range ahead. We’ll spruce up there and replenish our ore resources.”

In the control room, Luo En looked at the large screen in front of him showing a mountain range. He picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke loudly..
