Chapter 462 Competitors? Friend?

Patrolman Mu, who was on the side, was accustomed to this kind of situation, and said busyly.

"City Lord Ye, you also know that the operation of the Jiuzhou Guild Hall requires a lot of funds every year, and Hall Master Chen has never been worried about these funds. Some well-informed City Masters will send some filial piety money to relieve Hall Master Chen's urgent needs. Considering that Huangquan City is only a small city, the filial piety doesn't need much money, half a million intermediate spirit stones are enough."

500,000 Intermediate Spirit Stones? !

Ye Lingyue's heart turned upside down for a while, and she could not wait to rush up to tear apart the ugly face of Hall Master Chen.

500,000 intermediate-level spirit stones, that is equivalent to the five-year tax revenue of Huangquan City.

Hall Master Chen asked for 500,000 spirit stones as soon as he opened his mouth, which was simply a robbery.

Seeing that Ye Lingyue refused to answer for a long time, Hall Master Chen's complexion immediately turned cloudy.

"City Lord Ye, if you can't do anything, then Chen can only follow the orders of the Jiuzhou Alliance. Next month, when the Jiuzhou Heavenly Ranking is released, if Huangquan City still can't reverse the situation of the loss of city residents and the decline of the overall ranking, Jiuzhou Zhoumeng will cancel the qualification of Huangquan City."

"Section Master Chen, what do you mean, as long as the overall ranking of Huangquan City rises, Huangquan City can be preserved?"

Ye Lingyue would never give in to someone like Hall Master Chen.

"Heh~ As long as Huangquan City can get rid of the bottom three rankings, it can be retained, but I don't think that City Lord Ye has the ability to see off guests."

Hall Master Chen seemed to have heard the funniest joke.

The Jiuzhou Wild Hunt has not yet started, and Huangquan City is still poor. On the Jiuzhou Heavenly Ranking, the green index (the number of people on the land list) and the red index (the comprehensive strength of the city) cannot directly increase. The yellow indicator (total population) became Ye Lingyue's only method.

The current comprehensive ranking of Huangquan City is the second-to-last among all cities. According to the degree of population loss, it will definitely fall to the last-to-last in the next month.

Under such circumstances, Ye Lingyue actually openly rejected the bribe request from Hall Master Chen, delusionally thinking that in less than a month, he would move up two places from the bottom two and get rid of the bottom three, which would be replaced by any city's The city owner will find it very funny.

In fact, not to mention Hall Master Chen, even Ye Lingyue felt that it was an impossible task. In hindsight, the warning given by City Master Ma earlier was probably also known in advance that Huangquan City would be banned.

Ye Lingyue walked out of the council hall,

The city lords who have already gotten the wind are whispering behind their backs, obviously they have no sympathy for Ye Lingyue's experience.

It is not a matter of one or two days for Hall Master Chen to use Jiuzhou Guild Hall to make money. Except for the city masters of the top ten super cities, Hall Master Chen did not dare to extort money, other city masters present were more or less asked for bribes by him. .

"City Lord Ye, why do you have a frown on your face, but what troubles did you encounter?"

This is, an abrupt voice came from behind, calling out Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue looked back and saw Wuling City Lord standing not far away.

Seeing Wuling City Lord, Ye Lingyue stepped forward quickly.

After all, the old city lord can manage Wuling City, a novice city in an orderly manner, and become a medium-sized city on the ancient Jiuzhou continent. Naturally, he has his advantages. Ye Lingyue can just ask him how to attract new people. immigration issues.

"Attracting new immigrants, given the situation in Huangquan City, I'm afraid it is not easy." The Lord of Wuling City pondered after hearing this. "Five Spirits City can attract a large number of newbies because it has abundant Five Spirits Qi, which is a natural condition. Huangquan City really has no advantage in this regard. Besides, you only have less than a month. time."

Ye Lingyue thinks about it, Huangquan City can only be described as a lack of spiritual energy. For warriors, that is really not an attraction.

"If you don't have an advantage, create an advantage. Hundreds of years ago, the city of water was not much stronger than the city of Huangquan, but since the legend of the water god, the number of new immigrants has greatly increased."

Just when Ye Lingyue was discussing with Wuling City Lord, he saw Luo Qianche, the owner of the City of Water, coming over. It turned out that Luo Qianche was bringing the representative team of the City of Water to report.

"City Lord Luo is right. For most cities, the advantage is not innate, but acquired."

Wuling City Lord laughed twice.

Ye Lingyue listened to what Luo Qianche said, and was a little surprised. After all, a few days ago, the two were still in a hostile relationship, and she didn't expect the other party to give advice.

"Is it impossible, the legend of the water god has always been just a gimmick."

Ye Lingyue suddenly realized, it seems that the strength of the city owner is not enough, sometimes you have to be a little clever, but what is the advantage of Huangquan City?

"I don't know if it's a gimmick or a gimmick, but the Water God Waterfall and the ancient canal road in the City of Water were painstakingly dug by generations of the City Lord's Mansion. The City of Water has beautiful scenery, coupled with ancient methods, water can store money, Many wealthy businessmen and fishermen like to settle down in the city of water. Sometimes, people's blind worship of gods can lead to great effect. If there is no natural advantage, that person's worship is the best attraction method of immigration."

After Luo Qianche finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Lingyue.

"I'm not giving you an idea, I just don't want my opponent. Before the Jiuzhou Wilderness Hunt began, because the city was revoked, it became a bereaved dog and finally lost the qualifications to participate in the Jiuzhou Wilderness Hunt. "

This woman just likes duplicity.

How could Ye Lingyue not hear it, Luo Qianche was giving her advice.

Whether it was Luo Qianche or Wuling City Lord, they were all shocked when they learned about the harsh conditions of Hall Master Chen.

"Ye Lingyue, I see that you are quite clever on weekdays, how can you become a dead brain at this time. In a month, where do you recruit new immigrants, if I were you, I might as well agree to Hall Master Chen's request. He There is Elder Chen behind him, and if you go against him, you will only die miserably."

Luo Qianche shook his head.

"There is a first time, and there is a second time. Besides, even if you pay enough spirit stones, if Huangquan City cannot get rid of the last position, there will be countless 500,000 spirit stones in the future. For this kind of person , I will never compromise."

Ye Lingyueguang thought that 100,000 spirit stones could be exchanged for a chance to enter the magical power pool, so she refused to agree to the condition of 500,000 spirit stones.

"Clan Master Chen's behavior is getting more and more maddening. But City Lord Ye is right, this kind of person cannot tolerate rape. City Lord Ye, the old man can't help with the new immigrants. But you can study the entrance of the guild hall carefully. On that list, if I remember correctly, Huangquan City needs to get rid of the third-to-last position. You need to recruit at least 1,000 new residents this month. This is not an easy task. You It needs careful consideration.”
