Bone King's Universal Grocery

Chapter 215 Economic Crisis
"Belen, have you figured out the losses in the city?" Guo Lin, who was sitting on the main seat, asked Hugh Belen.

"Go back to City Lord, the city guards already have the general data. I just received their report, and I plan to hand it over to you later!"

"Don't leave it to me, just read it here for everyone!"

"It's the city lord, my colleagues. According to our war with the monsters in the Wanli Mountains, it lasted a total of 8 days. According to the statistics of the city guards, during these 8 days, we consumed a lot of war reserve resources, first of all, magic scrolls.

8天时间，我们一共使用了13多万张魔法卷轴，其中4级到6级的卷轴大约6万张，7级的6677张，8级的24张，9级的3张。

The three nine-level magic scrolls are the fire attribute super tight curse magic meteor fire rain, the multi-attribute super tight curse magic wind, thunder and rain, and the wood attribute healing super tight curse magic revival of all things. "

"Why are so many magic scrolls used? How much do we have in stock?" Hughes asked with a frown.

"I'm not sure about this, Aoba, you should have a record, right?" Hugh Belen asked Aoba.

"Yes, I just calculated this. After this battle, there are only more than 4 magic scrolls left in our Liberty City, of which more than 3 are below level 3, and the magic scrolls of 4 and 7 add up. There are only 8 scrolls, and at level 62, there is only one super-magic scroll with a dark attribute interference type left. "Dark Night Comes."

"So few!" Dragon Sword Saint Nova exclaimed.

"This still doesn't include the probability of failure when the scroll is released. If all factors are added and calculated carefully, it may be even less." Qingye said lightly.

"The condition of the scrolls is not bad. There are still some usable ones. Weapons are even worse. In this war, the weapon storage in the city, from mithril arrowheads to hundred-forged fine knives, has already reached 0 inventory." Aoba said. Before everyone could fully digest it, Hugh Belen threw out another bad news.

"What? The weapons are gone? How is this possible! Aren't our weapons the best?" Dragon Sword Master Cole asked in surprise.

"Yes, the quality of our weapons is indeed very good, but Cole, don't forget that the targets of our battle this time are monsters. These monsters are rough-skinned and thick-skinned. There are all kinds of horns, and it is difficult for our weapons to be effective in the face of these natural protections, so we can only win with numbers." Hugh Belen explained.

"Things in Beren shouldn't be so bad, right? Weapons are not disposable consumables, so they should be recyclable, right?" Guo Lin, who was on the main seat, asked tentatively.

"My lord is right. Weapons are indeed not one-time consumables. Just now, the city guards went to clean the battlefield and recovered some mithril arrowheads and incomplete weapons. They just want to reforge these materials into weapons that can carry spiritual power. At least It will take all the blacksmiths in the city to work non-stop for a month."

"That can't be helped, Aoba, please talk to the blacksmiths after the meeting and let them work overtime. As compensation, the salary of the blacksmiths will be tripled this month."

"My lord, this may not be right. There are more than 5 blacksmiths in the city. Originally, their salary is 7 gold coins a day. If it is tripled, each person will be paid 5 gold coins a day, 15, 450 gold coins a month. One thousand people is 5 million gold coins, and our finances may not be able to afford it now." Aoba reminded.

"Can't afford it financially? I remember that there should be more than 30 billion gold coins in the account of Liberty City? How can it be unaffordable?"

"Mr. Belem, you should explain it to the city lord!"

Hugh Belen nodded and stood up and said: "My lord, the battle with the monsters has destroyed the defensive array on the outer wall of the City of Liberty. The damage this time is devastating, that is to say, the outer wall There is no way to repair the defensive array, it can only be redrawn.

And drawing such a huge defensive formation requires a lot of level 8 magic beast magic crystals and spiritual blood, and at least 25 billion gold coins are needed to complete it.

In addition, the damage to the city wall must be repaired, and the pensions of the wounded and dead soldiers must not be less. Most importantly, we must guard against the Gods and Demons Continent taking advantage of the chaos to attack us. All of these will cost money. The 30 billion gold coins may not be enough. "

After listening to Hugh Beren's narration, Guo Lin was one head and two big. He never imagined that this war with monsters would cost such a huge amount of money. Never lost so much money, let alone plunged Liberty City into financial crisis.

Other than Aoba and Hugh Belen, the high-level executives also felt that their heads were too big. They, like Guo Lin, did not expect such a huge price to be paid for this war.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a spatial crack appeared in the meeting room of Liberty City, and a group of people came out of the crack. These people were Li Hong and the others who had dealt with the internal affairs of the Tushan Monster Clan. They were also accompanied by Tu Shan. Chi Ye, the patriarch of the Mountain Monster Clan.

The sudden arrival of Li Hong and others attracted the attention of everyone present. Li Hong was stared at by them, making him uncomfortable. Just as he was about to make a move, Chi Ye on the side took the first step. Remove the veil from the face, untie the cloak, and let the power of charm radiate naturally. The eyes of all the high-level officials in Liberty City instantly became blurred. Barely steady his mind.

"Chi Ye, you haven't been to the City of Liberty for many years, and you do this as soon as you come, doesn't it seem good?" Guo Lin, who was on the main seat, asked with a bitter face.

"Isn't it because you people are embarrassed by the people you are staring at?" Chi Ye blinked her big watery eyes and said softly.

"Hey~~ sister, you're almost fine, a fox that's almost 1000 years old, and still cute, aren't you ashamed?"

"What do you know, you stupid girl? I call it reasonable use of my own advantages. Don't you see another one over there?"

After listening to Chi Ye's words, everyone realized that the old man surnamed Zhang, who was able to barely keep his mind just now, had lost his eyesight like everyone else and fell into a dream.

"Chi Ye, it's almost ready, right? Don't make too much of a joke. How can I say that the teacher was kind to you back then."

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion! I will never forget Senior Zhang's kindness for a moment, and I won't embarrass him." After speaking, Chi Ye snapped his fingers, dispelling the seductive power deep in the consciousness of the old man surnamed Zhang.

Only then did the old man surnamed Zhang wake up. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted heavily.
