Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 692 Mobilization: Cao Xing's Appeal!
Cao Xing had already devised a solution to gather a large number of workers to help build the city.

That is to use the power of the legion, and have each of the hundreds of lords in the legion send a group of staff to Cao Xing's territory to help him build a city.

Cao Xing will also provide corresponding benefits.

His initial idea was to attract these survivor lords to help build the city by offering some land or shops in the major cities to them for business.

But now... he has a better way.

With that in mind, Cao Xing switched to the Legion channel.

First, I glanced at the number of people.

[Spark Legion Chat Channel: 600/600 people]

……

The level 8 Starfire Legion has a total of 600 lords.

Including the members within their territory, there are easily hundreds of thousands of them.

Then, Cao Xing said from inside: "@All members, everyone, this is Cao Xing, the leader."

As the leader of the 'Spark Legion', Cao Xing naturally has some special privileges.

One of them is the ability to tag everyone.

At this moment, upon receiving Cao Xing's summons, many legion members couldn't help but turn their attention to the legion channel.

They immediately responded.

Zhong Taiyu: "Greetings, Commander Cao Xing!"

Chang Chen: "Greetings, Commander! Any new missions?"

Hu Ning: "Boss Cao Xing, everyone's here, ready to go at any time!"

……

Cao Xing responded with a smile to the greetings from the crowd.

As more and more people saw the message, the Legion channel became lively again.

Among them were Yao Yiming, Ji Xinyue, and even deputy leaders such as Tian Jing, who all spoke.

Almost everyone had arrived.

Cao Xing continued, "I have gathered you all here today to announce something important."

Upon hearing this, the chat channel gradually quieted down.

The survivors of the Starfire Legion also became slightly serious.

After all, they all knew this person's power; if even he said it was important, then this matter must be extremely significant!
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Cao Xing to continue.

Cao Xing: "Strictly speaking, this matter is my private matter, but because the workload is quite large, I need to rely on everyone's help."

"Next, I'm going to build a city."

Upon hearing the words "city building," the chat channel fell silent for a moment, as if everyone was stunned by the news.

Immediately, the channel exploded with excitement!

Li Haoran: "Building a city?! Commander, did I hear that right? This is a massive undertaking!"

Zhang Zixuan: "My God, Commander Cao Xing is already starting to build a city so soon! My territory is only just beginning to take shape. The difference is too big!"

Liu Wanwan: "As expected of Commander Cao Xing, he really makes a big move right away!"

After the initial shock, everyone came to their senses.

Deputy Commander Yao Yiming was the first to respond: "Commander, please give your orders. Just tell us what you need us to do, and we will cooperate fully!"

Ji Xinyue chimed in, "Yes! Building a city is such a big undertaking, it's our first time experiencing it. The leader must invite us!"

Chen Yutong: "Great! Our Blue Star survivors are about to have their first lord with his own city!"

Wang Hao: "Commander! I'll call all the staff back right now, and they'll all be there to support you in building the city!"

Everyone was extremely excited and volunteered in the chat channel.

Many people were even willing to give up the development of their own territories to help Cao Xing build the giant city free of charge.

Upon seeing this, Cao Xing smiled.

He underestimated his own prestige and his standing among the Starfire Legion members.

In fact, if he gave the order, at least 80% of the group members would be willing to contribute their staff.

They never complained, even when it was unpaid labor.

Cao Xing chuckled in the chat channel and said, "You don't need to send everyone over. Building a giant city doesn't require that many people."

“If you send all your staff here, that’s at least several hundred thousand people. I can’t afford to feed so many people every day.”

Cao Xing's joking tone made the others in the Starfire Legion laugh, and the atmosphere in the chat channel became much more relaxed.

After a pause, Cao Xing continued, "In my opinion, if it's convenient, each legion should allocate 50 to 100 staff members to my side."

Currently, the entire Spark Legion has nearly 600 territories.

Some of these territories were merged into the Legion Headquarters, totaling approximately five hundred.

Even if each territory only allocates 50 people, there would still be at least 20,000 staff members who could come and participate in the construction of the megacity.

Moreover, the lords who can join the Starfire Legion are all selected by Yao Yiming, Tian Jing and others.

With Cao Xing's help, their territory was much stronger than that of ordinary lords.

Sending out dozens of staff members would have virtually no impact.

The members of the Spark Legion were about to respond when they heard this.

At this point, Cao Xing continued, "Of course, I won't make you do unpaid labor."

"In addition to providing meals for all staff, I will also provide each supported territory with 50 or 100 portions of legendary beast meat."

"It's the kind of animal meat I traded at the market a few nights ago. It can greatly enhance your attributes and physical attack power!"

After hearing Cao Xing's subsequent condition, the chat channel fell silent for a moment again.

Then, hundreds of messages erupted again like a volcano!
Lin Xiaoxiao: "My God! Legendary beast meat!? And you're giving out hundreds of portions at once, guild leader, you're throwing money away!"

Su Wan: "Yeah... This kind of meat, let alone 100 servings, even if you gave us 10 servings, I don't know how many people would fight over it."

Chang Chen: "That's outrageous! The commander is really rich and powerful!"

Hu Ning: "I'll send everyone I can from the territory over there right now! I'd do anything, even build an empire, let alone a city!"

The atmosphere in the channel was completely boiling, and the reactions of the crowd could even be described as frenzied.

After all, according to this calculation, the meat from these beasts would greatly increase the strength of most of the combatants in their territory!
The overall strength of the territory will also increase steadily.

Seeing the bustling scene in the chat channel, Cao Xing smiled.

The allure of legendary beast meat is beyond imagination.

And although 100 servings may sound like a lot, Cao Xing can be said to be getting a good deal.

In fact, he had originally planned to distribute 100 portions of beast meat to each territory in the legion to give them all a boost.

After all, as the leader of the group, I still need to give the members some special treatment.

Moreover, 600 legions combined would only consume 60000 portions of beast meat, which is equivalent to 6000 kilograms.

Compared to Cao Xing's remaining reserves of nearly one million kilograms, it's utterly insignificant...

Now, not only has the meat been delivered, but we've also gained so much labor power—it's a win-win situation!

Cao Xing continued, "Very good, then everyone, let's get started."

"I think you all know the coordinates of my territory."

Upon hearing this, everyone responded, "Of course we know, we'll be right there, Commander!"

"Wait for me, Commander!"

……

After the communication was disconnected, hundreds of territories of the Starfire Legion began a massive mobilization.

Each territory assembled its 100 most capable staff members and then headed towards Cao Xing's territory.

After doing all this, Cao Xing clapped his hands.

"Very good, the issue of manpower for city construction has also been resolved."

"Next, we just wait for them to bring the person over."

In Legion mode, members from different territories will receive a speed boost when traveling to other territories.

So this time shouldn't be too long.

While waiting, Cao Xing decided to contact the Lord of Oran City and ask him about the ancient ruins.

With that in mind, he switched the communication device's channel and made a call.

During their last meeting at the palace, Cao Xing gave Oran, the city lord of Lake Duolun, a communication device to facilitate future contact.

Now is the perfect time to use it.

"Zizi...Zizi..."

With a hissing sound, the other end of the line connected to the communication.

Cao Xing spoke first: "Lord Oran, I am Cao Xing. I've come to discuss some matters with you."

Upon hearing Cao Xing's voice, the Lord of Oran City exclaimed with a hint of surprise, "So it's Lord Cao Xing!"

"You saved our city of Duolun Lake last time, and I haven't had a chance to thank you yet. I didn't expect you to contact me on your own initiative." During the Bloody Chaos, Duolun Lake City was in crisis.

Then, Cao Xing sent Isabel down from the sky, who quickly wiped out the Blood Army attacking the city and rescued all the civilians and soldiers of the entire Duolun Lake City.

It was from that day that Lord Oran learned that Cao Xing already had a legendary expert under his command.

Back when I first met him, he was only a fifth-tier being.

Although equally powerful, it is still insignificant compared to the legendary realm.

In the blink of an eye, he has become someone that even he has to look up to.

Thinking about this, the Lord of Oran City was filled with many emotions.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, Lord Oran."

"I've come to see you to talk about that lost royal city."

Upon hearing this, Lord Oran immediately understood his meaning and quickly replied, "Lord Cao Xing, that lost royal city opened about a week ago."

"However, due to the blizzard, I was unable to contact you immediately."

"However... if we go to the ancient ruins now, it's the perfect time; we might even find some unexpected treasures."

"An unexpected bonus?" Cao Xing asked with interest.

"Yes."

Lord Oran explained, "That lost royal city is no ordinary place. Not only is it enormous in scale, but it is also divided into two areas: an inner city and an outer city."

"The two places are open at different times."

“The outer city area will open on specific days each time, and each time it will be open for a month.”

"The inner city will only be open for one week at a time."

"The real opportunities are hidden in the inner city!"

"For example, the ancient gladiatorial arena and the Temple of Souls are hidden in the inner city."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Cao Xing's eyes.

This was the first time he had ever heard that the Lost Royal City was divided into an inner city and an outer city.

Moreover, this is somewhat similar to the layout of the megacity he plans to build next.

However, the Lord of Oran City's words the next moment refuted his conjecture.

"However, the outer city of the lost royal city is actually like a wilderness. There are very few buildings outside, and the opportunities are much fewer than in the inner city."

"However, while the inner city offers numerous opportunities, it also comes with immense dangers, making it accessible only to the strongest individuals!"

"Even masters and heroes have perished in there."

"In the past few times, there have even been cases of legendary figures falling from grace."

At this point, the Lord of Oran's voice trembled slightly, as if something terrifying was lurking in the inner city!
Cao Xing seemed to be deep in thought.

"Even legendary powerhouses can fall?"

"It seems that the lost royal city is indeed extraordinary!"

Of course, the more dangerous the place, the more amazing the opportunities it holds!
Cao Xing asked, "Can we go into the inner city now?"

Lord Oran also knew that, given Cao Xing's strength, his target should be the inner city.

So he replied, "It's not open yet. It should be open in three or four days."

"Before that, we can explore the outer city area first."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "In comparison, the outer city is much safer."

"This area is like the outer perimeter of a giant city. It is actually very large and looks like a boundless wilderness."

"In this wilderness area, there are many dilapidated buildings scattered around, and deep underground within these buildings, countless treasures are buried."

"So far, we have only been able to explore a limited area, which is only a small part of the entire Lost Royal City."

"Even so, this small area alone hides a great deal of treasure!"

"Countless gold prospectors and adventurers have found precious treasures here and become rich overnight!"

The Lord of Oran became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he himself were in that wilderness full of opportunities and dangers.

He continued, "Once the Lost Royal City is opened, there will be no restrictions on the strength of those who enter. Even commoners can enter, provided they can pass the entrance test."

"So at this time of year, it attracts a large number of mercenaries, adventurers, and even merchants to gather in that place."

"They usually search the surrounding area, hoping to get lucky."

"Of course, while the outer city is relatively safe, it is not without danger."

"Some hidden traps in the ruins, wandering monsters, and other adventurers with ill intentions could all pose a deadly threat."

"These dangers have already claimed the lives of many adventurers."

"Even so, many more people are still drawn to the wealth and opportunities here, flocking to this site in an attempt to realize their dreams of getting rich overnight."

"However, everyone can only explore within specific areas."

"As mentioned before, after so much time has passed, we have only explored less than 3% of the area of ​​this lost royal city."

"How much opportunity and danger it still hides in its depths remains a mystery."

After Lord Oran finished speaking, Cao Xing was also filled with strong curiosity and a desire to explore.

Although I had already heard him say that the Lost Royal City was extremely large.

But after hearing his detailed description, Cao Xing finally realized the scale and value of this site.

Such a vast site must contain countless precious treasures and lost secrets!
It's just waiting for him to go and explore!

Thinking about this, Cao Xing felt a little restless.

He suppressed his excitement and asked, "What do you mean by what you said, that if we go there now, we might have some unexpected gains?"

Lord Oran replied, "The unexpected bonus is that, in addition to the Lost Royal City itself, we can also visit the black market of the Oran Kingdom along the way."

"There are two ruins near the Kingdom of Youlan, which can be described as the largest black market in the surrounding kingdoms."

"A large number of merchants, adventurers and gold prospectors have already gathered nearby."

"Especially now, during the opening of the Lost Royal City, it is an unprecedented spectacle."

“We can go there and have a look around; we might find something unexpected.”

A look of realization returned to Cao Xing's eyes.

As an underground trading venue, the black market is a melting pot of all sorts of people, making it a truly diverse and chaotic place.

Among them, there are quite a few people who may actually have some good stuff in their hands.

Last time, he found the tip of a legendary spear on the black market in Merlind.

They also encountered the beast tamer and obtained the dragon reins from him.

This is the largest black market in the surrounding kingdoms, so there might be some unexpected gains.

Cao Xing said, "I understand, Lord Oran. How about we set off together the day after tomorrow?"

Lord Oran City said respectfully, "Of course, no problem. I'm available whenever Lord Cao Xing has time."

He appeared very polite.

Cao Xing smiled.

"Okay, it's settled then."

"The day after tomorrow morning, we will first gather in the main city of Yongshuang, and then use the teleportation array in the center of the main city to go to the Kingdom of Youlan."

"no problem."

The two sides quickly agreed on a time for the operation and then hung up.

Afterwards, Cao Xing opened the private chat interface and told Bai Zhi the time of the operation.

After receiving the woman's reply, he closed the private chat and continued patrolling his territory.

……

Time flew by, and it was already past five in the afternoon.

Cao Xing looked up at the sky, which had now completely darkened.

After a full day of resource gathering, his territory's basic resources have increased once again.

He extracted over 100,000 tons of just these two resources: coal and timber.

After the blizzard, the staff were full of energy.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, then pressed the communication device to his ear.

"Gentlemen, it is already dark. All personnel currently working outside, please return to the territory."

When his order was given, the territory members who were working outside stopped what they were doing and put down their various gathering tools.

Then, according to the team, they climbed onto the cargo bed of the transport vehicle, and the mechanical equipment transported the workers back in batches.

It not only saves time traveling on snow, but also reduces physical exertion.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
