TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent - Chapter 484
(Hundreds of thousands? Some millions? This amount of creature is absurd, but it is a normal amount for any unexplored location in the Wild Region. The only problem will be the number of resources spent to clean up the area, whether it be fending off or defeating creatures…) That was the thought of all the guests.
The biggest problem in building a new city was the cursed creatures. Because the quantity is so great that it can be considered insane.
The size of the city didn’t matter because they knew how big a mining city is, so that was the left side.
But the thought of receiving unimaginable wealth is still very attractive to these powerful families and groups.
“Mr. Hawk River, how are we going to know that you’re not lying to us?” A middle-aged man asked.
That was another important question. Nobody wanted to be deceived and lose a big fortune.
“I have no reason to lie to you. The sum of all of you is almost one hundred percent of the most influential groups in the entire Wild Region, I want to deceive you is like trying to commit suicide. To prove that this mine really exists and that it has never been explored before, I will show you this” Liu Yang did not have the courage to offend so many people at the same time.
This was equivalent to looking for death itself.
As proof of his words, Liu Yang took out a wooden table and placed it in front of him. Soon after, he took out a few fragments of shiny metal.
The instant that amount of mithril was seen by the crowd. Everyone was shocked and scared because it was so much more than they thought.
The number of fragments was only seven, but that was considered too much for one person. Even the most influential groups had less than that because it was used a lot in the manufacture of equipment.
As the Wild Region had several billion people, the number of people requesting mithril was many, but the amount of mithril was very limited so prices were always high.
Now, they saw seven fragments at once, how come they weren’t scared?
Only a fragment was already considered very valuable and it can be used to buy a large property with mansions, maids, and butlers.
The value of the seven fragments was astronomical and difficult to calculate.
Besides, these things were very difficult to mine because the rocks are very hard and few people had the skill or strength to dig these places.
Even slaves or workers with many points in the strength attribute had difficulties in doing this.
The cursed creatures were also tested, but they couldn’t be controlled, so it was a futile effort.
The only alternative that remained was to use people, but the work was slow, tiring, and very tedious.
Thus, the crowd found it very insane that Liu Yang had seven fragments of mithril for him.
“Is that proof enough?” Liu Yang commented casually. He kept the fragments after showing for a while.
“That is proof enough” The middle-aged man replied.
Everyone knows what a recently excavated mithril fragment looked like.
The brightness and shape were impossible to fake.
“About your agreement, help me with the construction of the city in the mine. How do you want the division to be? The city still has eighty-five percent to be divided among all of you. As there are a total of one hundred and thirty groups here, if everything is divided equally, each one will have a little more than half a percent of the city. But if one group cannot help enough like everyone else, that group will receive a smaller percentage of the city” Liu Yang commented. He didn’t need a lot of space, he just needed a place big enough to build a big mansion for him and his women.
Half a percent of the city was no small feat.
A city capable of supporting thirty million people is a very big thing. Half a percent was with a small bass with several houses and shops.
“Mr. Hawk River, about the division, you don’t have to worry about that. We have already calculated how the city will be divided. This subject is not something you need to worry about, what we are curious about is what kind of location do you prefer? Thus, we will separate an extremely suitable place for a person to rule the city” Another middle-aged man spoke confidently.
The group did not even need to debate the division because instinctively, the city was already built because they were the most influential groups in the entire Wild Region. Besides, many groups at the site had wedding agreements and many things to be allied in certain situations.
“I just want a good place for the city. Also, I hope my mansion will be in a quiet place and without the noise of people shouting like in the shopping center” Liu Yang did not want to open stores or things like that because it was not necessary.
“Mr. Hawk River, do you want to use the five percent just to build a mansion and city hall?” Liu Yang’s words gave everyone a big shock, as this was something they never thought of.
No one understood why Liu Yang refused to make a big fortune using his property.
Five percent of the city is very insane. The size was equivalent to a large property with several hundred workers.
The most influential groups prefer to use this space to gain more money and power.
“Yea. I have no desire to use my space to build a business. I just want a home to live with my women” Liu Yang replied casually. He didn’t even feel like doing business because it was too much work and he didn’t have the patience for it.
“I see… In that case, it makes things a lot easier. The Mr. Hawk River’s mansion can be built in the residential areas of the city. In the case of the city hall, it is better that it be built somewhere close to urban centers” An elderly woman commented this time. She seemed to have some kind of construction experience.
“I see … This is not a problem. But before we talk about building the city, I hope that everyone here can sign a contract saying that they will help in building the city. As you do not trust me, I will not trust you either. Do you have the authority to sign this contract? Or will they have to send someone else to sign?” Liu Yang showed his thinking, but that was also the thinking of everyone in the place.
