Chapter 779: The Situation Is Reversed, Super Fifth-Level Card!

Hope City, Municipal Building.

A lonely crescent moon hangs on the corner of the building, making the night darker.

The lights of the buildings around the building have been turned off, and they are in a long and peaceful darkness.

The night breeze is blowing.

Chen Shen sits in the office on the third floor, reviewing the documents in his hand one by one, frowning.

In the past half month, the big territories around him that liked to jump up and down suddenly stopped and became good babies, which made him feel relieved.

But on the other hand, the pressure from Tianyuan Territory, which is farther away, suddenly hit.

The scene is not much different from what the Tianyuan Think Tank, which was composed of hundreds of people before, expected.

With the three-year asylum period of Longqi Territory coming to an end, nearly 30 big territories have jointly requested Tianyuan Territory to open up the energy stone technology and share this advanced technology that can change the course of mankind.

Among them, many territories can still calmly negotiate and even propose to exchange benefits for this technology because of their previous trade relations.

However, there are also many territories that have already become pressure boys, and have issued threatening ultimatums, with the intention of imposing sanctions immediately if Tianyuan Territory does not open up its technology.

Of course, with the industrial conditions that Tianyuan Territory has already laid out, there is no need to be afraid of the threats from these territories.

But becoming the target of public criticism and being targeted by so many people is definitely not the fact that Chen Shen wants to see.

Even in the end, a fight is inevitable.

How to throw the first punch, in what way, to what extent to stop, and what is the gain and reason for the fight.

Everything, he has to think carefully in the quiet night.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, make me another cup of strong tea"

Touching the side, after finding that the tea in the cup has run out, Chen Shen tiredly raised his head and called twice.

But after the voice fell, there was no sound in the secretary's office outside.

"Falling asleep? Or going to the toilet?"

Turning his head to look at the time on the wall clock, he realized that it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night. Chen Shen shook his head slightly and stood up with the cup.

He came to the living area behind the office screen, picked up the kettle and poured some water into the cup, and then picked up some loose tea leaves and threw them into the cup.

Chen Shen held the hot cup and slowly walked to the half-open window.

The night breeze blew in, mixed with a little refreshing coolness, and the thermometer and hygrometer hanging by the window also accurately displayed the current room temperature.

9 degrees Celsius, 8% humidity.

A very standard autumn night temperature in a wasteland.

"The red storm is coming soon. I really can't imagine how much it will cost to have 10% humidity, 60 days without rain, and a temperature of 50 degrees."

Chen Shen murmured, and his mind drifted away with the wind.

The only place in the entire Tianyuan territory close to the Changlong Xianjiang River is Baoyu County. The rest of the place is except Yuren City near the coastline.

Other cities, counties, towns and villages are almost all inland, without sufficient reserve fresh water resources.

Of course, it is not a problem to transport it out through the Changlongxian River, but the transportation cost may become an astronomical figure.

In addition, the weather is so hot, the construction of the territory, the sowing of autumn harvest seeds, and the implementation of various plans

When it rains, it pours.

Thinking of this, Chen Shen couldn't help but put his head against the cold window, using this trace of coldness to relieve the sudden headache.

This is his old problem. Whenever a disaster is about to come, the headache will always come from time to time, and he can't relieve it even if he sleeps.

Thump thump thump thump

Just when Chen Shen had a headache.

Suddenly, there was a sound of soles rubbing against the ground outside the office.

A slim and stylish woman in a black and blue uniform walked in from the door.

"Mayor, the first batch of immigrants from Baoyu County has arrived. This is the latest news from Stationmaster Wang and Minister Hu. Can I give it to you?"

"Mayor, do you have a headache again?"

The woman who came in was Jiang Xiaoyu, Chen Shen's only secretary.

Seeing Chen Shen leaning against the window in pain, she quickly quickened her pace and came over to take the cup: "Don't drink tea if you have a headache. I'll make you some turtle and pigeon soup. You need to take good care of yourself in summer, otherwise you will be in trouble in winter."

"I'm fine." Chen Shen shook his head stubbornly and squeezed out a faint smile: "Let me see the news from Wang Quan and Hu Yuanyong."

The three words "Baoyu County" seemed to have magical power.

As soon as he took the envelope from Jiang Xiaoyu, Chen Shen felt that his headache was relieved immediately, which was really amazing.

Because of the fear of enemies hijacking wireless waves, except for the need for encrypted communications during important times, other things in the territory still follow the oldest and safest letter mode.

Sitting back at his desk, Chen Shen carefully cleaned the wax on the letter, and soon took out several white papers full of words.

He first found the one with Wang Quan, and began to read it word by word.

"The immigration work was completed very smoothly. The propaganda policy formulated by County Magistrate Su really worked wonders. We only advertised the number of immigrants in Linglong Territory for one day, and we were able to complete it five times the estimated value of 100. We recruited 500 immigrants, and all of them are talents with intermediate production skills."

After reading the first paragraph of the summary, Chen Shen's face was happy, and his unconscious frown relaxed.

"From the eyes of these immigrants, I saw their expectations for the future, and also saw the influence of our Tianyuan Territory. Before leaving, thousands of people suddenly appeared in Linglong Territory to see them off. They"

Wang Quan described what he saw and heard very clearly, and even took photos from many angles, attaching the scene of thousands of people seeing him off on the back of the letter.

Chen Shen turned over and quickly turned on the light of the desk lamp to carefully look at the details in the photo.

After a while, he suddenly grinned and laughed silently.

Although he couldn't see the eyes of these people in the photo clearly, the posture of leaning there and watching gave him a vague sense of familiarity.

That was the performance of the survivors who were both afraid and expectant after the alien races were eliminated when Tianyuan Territory went to other places.

They were eager to be absorbed by Tianyuan Territory, but they were afraid of being sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

They were eager to live a good life, but they were afraid of becoming consumables.

"It's really a nostalgic feeling. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to lead troops to charge again in this life."

Putting down Wang Quan's letter, Chen Shen subconsciously wanted to shake his neck to relieve the headache, but as soon as he turned around, he found that the headache had been mostly healed.

The comfort emanating from the bottom of the heart made people feel comfortable as if they were taking a hot bath.

"This Su Youzong is indeed a wonderful person. If I were in his place, I would definitely not implement his tough measures so decisively."

After leaning back in the office chair and reading Hu Yuanyong's description of the recruitment scene, Chen Shen finally felt relieved.

However, compared with Wang Quan's letter, Hu Yuanyong obviously wrote more.

Turning to the next page, seeing the description that had almost nothing to do with recruitment, Chen Shen's face changed and he suddenly sat up straight.

"What, is Su Youzong crazy? He actually wants to open a waterway on Changlong Xianjiang to meet his own policy?"

"Fuck, he just praised it for a few words and he's so arrogant. How can a waterway be opened whenever he wants? He doesn't know how difficult it is. Otherwise, why hasn't any territory dared to do such a thing in all these years? Even the attitudes of the three major territories are very ambiguous. He is definitely crazy!"

"What, he wants to give up the Yuan currency and the trading points. He wants to implement the working hour system in Baoyu County, and directly convert everyone's working time into equivalent purchasing power. As long as he goes to work, he can have enough food, buy an identity, buy a house, and buy anything of value?"

"My God, what does Su Youzong want to do? Baoyu County is a Baoyu County with 60,000 people, not his own playground. Is he going to rebel?"

Hu Yuanyong only wrote one page about the description of recruitment, but he wrote nearly ten pages about the various reforms that followed!

Even though Chen Shen had prepared himself mentally a long time ago, he couldn't help it at this time, and his exclamations became more and more frequent.

"Am I crazy, or is Wasteland crazy, or is he crazy?"

"If his current system is really implemented, unless the waterway can be opened and Tianyuan Territory can earn enough trade surplus, who will make up for this damn price difference?"

"The working hour system can certainly allow new immigrants to quickly buy property and have a foundation, and at the beginning, they only need to subsidize some materials, but this system will become a bigger mess as time goes on. Could it be that he wants to make a lot of achievements and leave the scene after completing the bet with me, just for the bet?"

"No, impossible! He is not such a person, he is definitely not such a person!"

"Take one step and see one step is a mediocre person, take one step and calculate three steps is a common person, take one step and plan ten steps is a wise person.

But take one step and see fifty steps, that is absolutely a complete lunatic!

Only a lunatic would come up with a crazy policy like the working hour system, and would pin all his hopes on the Changlong Xianjiang waterway.

What if it doesn't work?

Is he going to play a big game with the credit of Tianyuan Territory?

Will the territory be blamed in the end?

"Mayor, County Magistrate Su from Baoyu County has sent another top-secret letter. Do you need to read it now?"

"What? Su Youzong's letter?" Chen Shen's calm expression suddenly changed: "Jiang Biao, bring it to me!"

Whenever he was emotional, he would always forget about calling Jiang Xiaoyu Jiang Biao.

But at this time, Chen Shen didn't care. He stood up and almost snatched the letter.

By the way, he also ordered: "Notify Chen Kai now and tell him to come quickly. I have something important to tell him."

"Also, don't disturb me without my instructions. Notify the security to start martial law in the building."

"Okay." Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Jiang Xiaoyu nodded quickly and ran away.

After she left completely, Chen Shen thought about it, and then went to close the office door and lock it with an inner lock.

He walked to a wall in the office living area and gently stretched out his hand to push it.

A magical thing happened.

The originally integrated wall actually sank at this time, and with a series of creaking sounds, a secret door leading to the inside appeared.

Walk in from this door, and after a few steps.

A closed space about the size of an office appeared in front of you.

The structure in the space is very simple, with only a table, a small stool, and densely packed wires laid on the ground.

On the table, there is a thing that looks like headphones, and a device similar to a DVD is connected below, which looks very inconsistent.

Chen Shen got up and sat down, put the headphones on his head very skillfully, and quickly operated the box-shaped device.

Soon, after a crackling sound, he began to call softly: "Tianmin, Tianmin, request contact, request contact"

The weak voice sounded like a one-sided call.

But the green light on the device suddenly flashed, indicating that this was not a one-way line, but a connected line.

About three or four minutes passed.

Suddenly, the lights in the space flashed, and a face suddenly appeared in the void in front of Chen Shen.

It was none other than Feng Tianmin!

"What happened in the middle of the night? You actually need to use pseudo-quantum communication?"

Feng Tianmin, who was projected from the top of the room, had a look of fatigue on his face, as if he had just been awakened.

"Something big has happened. Su Youzong wants to reform. Forget it. I'll give you a letter and you can read it yourself."

He spread out the first letter he had received on the table.

The projection on the top swept, and several illusory pages of paper immediately appeared in front of Feng Tianmin, who was far away in the basement of the Northern Military Region.

"Immigration to Baoyu County? Isn't this something that was decided before? What's the big deal?"

After reading Wang Quan's description, Feng Tianmin's sleepiness was mostly awakened.

He continued to look down calmly, and like Chen Shen, when he saw Hu Yuanyong's descriptions.

Feng Tianmin couldn't help but jump up when he saw the words "Conquer Changlong Xianjiang".

"Oh no, how dare Su Youzong reach Changlong Xianjiang?"

"Does he, as an outsider, know how dangerous this river is? The undercurrents, the reefs, and the changes in the width of the river from time to time. Even our warships are at risk of sinking and running aground at any time. What can he use to conquer it? A merchant ship equipped with old-fashioned cannons?"

"No, absolutely not. Isn't he kidding?"

Feng Tianmin didn't understand the working hours system at the end, but he could roughly find the connection between reform and opening up waterways.

"Although our Tianyuan Navy is strong and can confront the three territories head-on, this is a direct battle, not a cargo voyage?"

"He Su Youzong is an outsider. How many times has he been to sea in his life? Has he really driven a boat? How many times has he encountered dangerous situations?"

"Chen Shen, you'd better tell him not to think about it. Our navy now has to sail from the coastline all the way up for at least half a month to go to Changlong Xianjiang, and then go to Baoyu County through Changlong Xianjiang. Otherwise, we have to carry a boat over. How is this possible?"

"Unless there is a river connecting the two sides, don't even think about it!"

Feng Tianmin's hair stood up in anger, and his face was full of helplessness when he heard a child's nonsense.

"I thought so too, but he has sent another letter now. I haven't opened it yet. Let's read it together?"

"Open it quickly, don't hesitate." Seeing that Feng Tianmin was about to go to Baoyu County to teach him a lesson tomorrow, Chen Shen opened the wax twice, and finally tore the envelope violently with force.

Wow.

Four different things fell to the ground.

The first was a map with 17 large circles drawn on it, just covering the main counties, cities and towns in Tianyuan Territory.

The second was a notebook with densely recorded prices of various materials, divided into two columns for Tianyuan Territory and Caiyuan Line.

The third was a few pieces of white paper with words written on them, the handwriting was very neat and beautiful, as if printed.

The fourth was a color photo with a glowing object in it, which looked like a card.

"Card?"

Chen Shen had used this thing frequently before, so he was familiar with it. He picked up the photo on the ground and looked at it.

However, it was just like this.

His body suddenly froze, and he fell back and sat on the ground.

"What's wrong with you? What's on it?"

Seeing the ghostly expression on Chen Shen's face, Feng Tianmin yelled anxiously, and couldn't wait to apply for permission to project the photo.

As the light shone down, three or four seconds later

There was also a sound of a plop and a line collision in the headset. It could be heard that it was the sound of Feng Tianmin falling to the ground.

"Is this a territory terrain transformation card? What? Level 5!!"

All cards are rare in the New World.

Among them, the level 1 cards are the most, accounting for more than 98% of the share.

The remaining 2% are not high-level cards, but are composed of level 2 and level 3.

Throughout the years of the wasteland, since the real survival version began, they have never heard of anyone having a level 4 or higher card, let alone level 5!

"Quick, look at the attributes of the level 5 terrain card?" Feng Tianmin's anxious urging interrupted Chen Shen's deep thinking.

He subconsciously reached out to the letter on the ground, but glanced at the map next to him, and an unprecedented idea suddenly rose in his mind.

"No way" Chen Shen whispered, and quickly spread the letter paper on the table.

And as if the person writing the letter on the other side had predicted the scene in front of him, at the beginning of the letter, the attributes of the level 5 card were actually given.

"The fifth-level terrain transformation card can change the terrain of the entire territory at will. It can turn high slopes into plains, hills into mountains, and rivers connecting every city can be opened up at will. It can also run the Changlong Xianjiang through the entire territory."

Reading Su Mo's statement word by word, Chen Shen looked at Feng Tianmin floating in the air in a daze.

The two looked at each other.

"Tianmin, why are you crying?"

"Chen Shen, aren't you crying too?"

"I didn't cry"

"Then I didn't cry either."

The two middle-aged men who were already over thirty-five suddenly had a wonderful tacit understanding at this moment.

Looking at the tears in each other's eyes, Feng Tianmin was the first to laugh at himself: "We underestimated him"

"That's right. Since he dares to make such a policy, how could he not know the importance and have no countermeasures?"

"What if the tributaries of Changlong Xianjiang can be spread all over our territory?" Chen Shen suddenly asked.

"Don't mention Changlong Xianjiang. Even if it's a damn sea of ​​fire and swords, I can lead people to wade through it!"

"You?"

"Is it possible?" Feng Tianmin was stunned: "Will he take people there personally?"

"Alas, he really guessed us thoroughly. Look at his second line, he said he would take people there himself."

"Damn it!?"

It was 6:10 in the morning.

Chen Shen walked out of the dark room with a satisfied look on his face, greeted the warm morning sun that had just risen a little, and stretched his waist.

Fresh air, a happy brain, and a body that is no longer heavy.

Headaches that often hurt for a day are like a dream, making people completely forget the pain.

Close the door of the dark room and come to the desk.

Chen Shen habitually picked up the teacup on the table and wanted to take a sip.

But as soon as he picked up the cup, his face changed and he hurried to the door.

As expected, after the office door opened, Chen Kai, who had rushed over at some point, was anxiously wandering in the corridor.

Even Jiang Xiaoyu, who was usually calm, couldn't suppress his nervousness and stared at the office door.

"Oh, my great mayor, if you don't come out, I'm going to pick the lock and go in."

Watching Chen Shen walk out with an embarrassed expression, Chen Kai said anxiously as he walked, and almost bit his tongue.

"What happened? Why are you calling me here so urgently?"

"Well, it's a big deal." Looking at Jiang Xiaoyu next to him, Chen Shen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiaoyu, you said there was some pigeon soup last night."

"Turtle pigeon soup?"

"Yes, yes, that's it." Chen Shen nodded happily: "I'll treat Chen Kai to dinner later. You ask someone to make more of this soup. We old guys really need to replenish our energy. We can't stay up late like this in the future, otherwise how can we wait for Tianyuan Territory to rise again?"

"Okay, I'll go now." Realizing that Chen Shen was inexplicably excited, Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned, and then laughed.

Yes, in my memory, Mayor Chen hasn't been so happy for a long time in recent years.

The last time was after County Magistrate Su came to the office and left, he happily karaoke for half an hour, drank a few glasses of white wine, and slept a good night's sleep.

This time, it was County Magistrate Su who sent a secret letter, which made Mayor Chen take the initiative to sigh that he should not only change the habit of staying up late but also replenish his body.

This County Magistrate Su.

He is really a strange person!
