Chapter 1840 A Proposal (The Lunch Dish Is Too Spicy and Now My Butt Hurts)
Not long after, Fangzheng met with Minister John under the introduction of Amamiya Rindou.
"Hello, Mr. Fangzheng."
Johannes stood up, smiling as he held out his hand.
"I'm Johannes, the head of Fenrir's Far East Branch. Please give me your advice."
"My name is Fangzheng, and I come from Tiandao Palace."
Fangzheng also stretched out his hand, and shook Minister John's hand slightly.
"Honestly, it's the first time I've been here and I have to say, it's a completely different feeling."
"Hehe, we also rarely see people from other places."
Minister John also laughed. As he said, the place where Fenrir is located is remote. Except for those who were exiled, or some unlucky ghosts, almost no one would like to come here. Even the wandering buses rarely come to Fenrir's side. Therefore, for Fenrir, this is also a very rare opportunity to communicate with external forces.
Although Minister John seemed to be planning to have a laugh, Fang Zheng was straightforward and got straight to the point.
"To be honest, the reason why I came to Fenrir this time is to ask for something."
"Oh?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Minister John froze for a moment.
"What's the matter?"
"It's like this. I hope to go to the reactor in the core part of your city to conduct some investigation and research... Don't worry, it's just to collect some intelligence information. As compensation, I can also provide you with some help within my ability. Whether it is supplies or combat power, there is no problem."
"This………"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Minister John and Captain Yugong looked at each other. Although they were mentally prepared, they never thought that the other party would come forward and make such an outrageous request... You must know that the core reactor of the mobile city is The heart of the mobile city, where can it be shown to others casually?
"May I ask Mr. Fangzheng, which part of the information do you plan to need? If it does not involve core secrets, then we may be able to..."
"I'm very sorry, I have to collect it myself."
Fangzheng shook his head. Only his order engraving could read the content hidden in the core. The records of these people were useless to Fangzheng.
"..."
This time, Minister John did not speak, but stared at Fangzheng and touched his chin.
"As compensation, I can provide you with everything you need, whether it's living supplies or technological improvements. As for military assistance... Well, I don't think Fenrir needs it."
Unlike Zuierni, Fenrir can be regarded as a paramilitary city, while Zuierni is more like a talent training center, so Zuierni can accept Fang Zheng's military support, but Fenrir obviously does not need it. of. After all, this can be seen from their action routes. Other mobile cities are avoiding monsters, but Fenrir is almost staring at these monsters, fighting wherever there are many.
In fact, there is no way around this. According to what Fangzheng inquired when he was wandering around the city before, he found that Fenrir’s mobile city has already been transformed. Their core here no longer relies on mine energy like other mobile cities, but relies on— ——The core of Aragami!
This also shows from the side how terrifying Fenrir's combat power is. Even in the mobile cities in the south, there are not many people who dare to chase the polluting beast. However, on Fenrir's side, wherever there is a powerful Rage God, he will run wherever there is a powerful Rage God. After killing him, he will directly cramp his skin and use the core as fuel... I have to say, it is indeed quite ruthless.
However, where there are strengths, there are shortcomings. Fenrir's approach can be regarded as their tough style, or it can be regarded as a helpless move due to insufficient resources. After all, this piece of land looks much barren compared to the south. Fangzheng took the girls for a walk outside just now, and soon discovered that the biggest flaw of this city is the lack of supplies.
You must know that there is not even a store in this city, and all commodities are almost rationed. Only some commodities are traded internally, and they are limited to military supplies. This in itself is enough to explain the problem. From this, it can be seen that Fenrir's sturdy folk customs are also forced out to a certain extent, otherwise, I am afraid that the calf will be over early.
Sure enough, Minister John's expression changed slightly upon hearing Fang Zheng's request.
In fact, just as Fang Zheng thought, the situation of the entire Fenrir organization was very difficult during this period, not only from external pressure, but also from surrounding pressure. Although Fenrir's mobile city can use the core of Aragami to move after modification, but in turn, because of its power limitation, Fenrir's mobile city is not like the academy city alliance that can bear tens of thousands of people or even The living needs of hundreds of thousands of people, the population of their mobile city is at most 10,000 to the end, otherwise, the supplies will not be enough.
This is not over yet, we must know that in order to collect as many newcomers with God Eater qualifications as possible, Fenrir also needs to protect the surrounding gathering places to a certain extent, although because of the shortage of supplies, they have no way It is not impossible to help those refugees directly, but it is not impossible to help them eliminate the threat of Aragami as much as possible.
Like before, Amamiya Rindou went to the refugee gathering place to find new people and protect the gathering place.
Otherwise, when all the people around are dead outside, and more than 10,000 people are killed by Fenrir alone, wouldn't it be over sooner or later?
However, because of this, the refugees around are also united and marched outside the gate of Fenrir, demanding that Fenrir provide them with more protection and provide them with some living supplies. Although there has been no conflict between the two sides so far, Minister John is also very clear that if this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the conflict occurs.
But the problem is that it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, and Fenrir's internal resources are also very tight.
You can't eat the meat of Rage God, if you can eat it, it's okay...
Seeing Minister John's expression, Fangzheng immediately raised his stake.
"If you agree, then our Heavenly Dao Palace can provide you with supplies including food and medicine, enough for 100,000 people for five years... I wonder what you think of this proposal?"
"One hundred thousand?!"
Hearing this, Minister John and Amamiya Gendan were really shocked. What is the origin of this Heavenly Dao Palace? It is difficult to find the food, medicine and living supplies for 100,000 people. Tone provides the amount for five years?
You must know that most mobile cities are basically self-sufficient, and occasionally conduct some commercial transactions, and the number is very small. But a transaction volume like this... I'm afraid no mobile city can do it!
"Can you really provide so many supplies? Just to... investigate the core reactor?"
Minister John is now somewhat skeptical. You must know that this is the end of the world. In such a world, a piece of meat is worth more than a gun! It is true that the reactor is the heart of the mobile city, but a power that can produce so many supplies in one go is probably more than enough to buy a mobile city!
"I can understand, but I'm not afraid to tell you that these materials may be very important to you, but to Tiandao Palace, they are just a drop in the bucket."
Fangzheng spread his hands, and he didn't lie, there are more than two million people in Academy City, why is it not easy to find some supplies?
"Or, we can provide you with soilless cultivation technology, which can increase your food self-sufficiency and risk control, what do you think?"
"Soilless cultivation?"
"It does not require soil, and directly cultivates crops through nutrient solution to make them mature... I believe this should be a very useful technology for you."
Sure enough, after listening to Fangzheng's brief introduction, the eyes of Minister John and Amamiya Rindou immediately lit up.
The biggest problem in this world at present is that the soil is polluted—these soils will no longer have any traces of life, and there will no longer be any crops that can grow. Naturally, people have no way to grow crops on this land. In this case, people can only use the planting areas inside the mobile city to grow crops, but these planting areas are limited after all, and growing crops in the soil is also a big test for fertility.
But the soilless cultivation technology is different, not to mention that Academy City's technology in this area is still very developed. The so-called teaching a man to fish is not as good as giving a man to fish. The food will one day sit and eat, but after mastering the skills, it is another matter.
"Such a precious technology..."
"I still say that, it may be valuable to you, but it is not top-secret information to us."
Having said this, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"In fact, when I went to other mobile cities to investigate the core reactors, the conditions I gave were similar to these."
"I see………"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Minister John couldn't help but twitched his eyes, feeling rather complicated. You must know that these things are placed in Fenrir. Although they cannot be said to be priceless treasures, they can also be regarded as priceless. In the end, the young man in front of him took it and sold it as soon as he said it...
"I understand what you mean."
Thinking of this, Minister John came back to his senses, and smiled at Fang Zheng.
"But I'm sorry, I still need to discuss this matter with other people. Is it okay to give you an answer in two days?"
"No problem at all."
Fangzheng doesn't care whether the other party is willing or not. In fact, with Fangzheng's ability, he will definitely go in and read the information whether these people are willing or not. It's just that they belong to others. He is the god of magical girls and the god of games He's not the god of robbers, so he's a bit scruples about doing things. In fact, Minister John didn't know at all. The reason why Fangzheng said this to himself was not to let them choose a deal, but to make compensation—after all, he must read the core. If this is the case, it is natural to give them some compensation thing.
Just like what Fang Zheng Zuierni suggested to Kalian.
You choose the compensation conditions yourself, but you have no right to refuse.
The first exchange between the two parties came to an end, and then Fangzheng took his leave and left, while Amamiya Rindou remained in the office, and after watching Fangzheng leave, he asked.
"What next?"
"I do not know either."
Minister John shook his head.
"Frankly speaking, this kind of thing sounds like a fake. After all, this kind of technology and materials... are just for investigating the core reactor? I don't quite understand what kind of operation this is."
"But maybe it's like what he said? After all, what kind of value is different for everyone."
"That's what I said, but I'm still a little worried. Moreover, if Tiandao Palace is really a huge force beyond our imagination as he said, it would be too hasty to just make a deal..."
Thinking of this, Minister John's eyes suddenly brightened.
"By the way, Captain Yugong."
"What's up?"
"I remember submitting a report before, saying that there is a newcomer, a magician, who is coming to report?"
"Yes, Alyssa Ilinitina Amiella, 13 years old, is the first divine machine user to use the second-generation magical machine, and will be transferred to our department tomorrow... Do you have any questions? ?”
"I thought of a great idea..."
Hearing the report from Amamiya Rindou, Minister John showed a smile.
"Perhaps, it can solve the problems we are currently facing."
