Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 144: Chapter 143: The King’s Daughter

For more than an hour.

Lin You was in the reception hall talking with Meng Qing’an.

The topics, however, were nothing more than relationship building, cooperation, and trade negotiations. Lin You didn’t mind having a few more trade routes.

It wasn’t until past midday that the two took their leave outside the city at Lin You’s farewell.

“Then, Brother Lin You, we shall head back first. Let’s gather again some other time.”

“Take care.”

Meng Qing’an and Zhao Ting, along with their subordinates, prepared their vehicles and bid farewell to Lin You.

Unlike the anxiety and worry they felt when they arrived.

At this moment, they obviously felt much more relaxed, as if a stone lodged in their throat had finally dropped.

“Yes, do come by when you have the chance.”

Standing on the bridge, Lin You responded to them with a face full of smiles.

He had just taken a quick look earlier.

Among the supplies they delivered, there were many items that he was lacking.

Such as magic powder, grain, various precious materials for forging equipment, and herbs for making potions.

Where else could you find such good neighbors?

Of course, the more, the merrier.

They might as well come every day.

After all, he never complained about having too small a place to stack things.

“Lin You, there you are, I just happened to be looking for you.”

At this time, a voice called out.

Mageon appeared with several of his clansmen and a few carts, slowly heading toward the city gate.

The few people who were still chatting suddenly turned to look.

“Dwarves!?”

Meng Qing’an and Zhao Ting were both startled.

Though they had previously learned from their investigations that Lin You had dwarves under his command, seeing it with their own eyes was still incredibly shocking.

What shocked them even more were the things loaded on those dwarf carts.

It turned out to be all intricately crafted armor and weapons!

And the quantity was extremely large!

Just like that, they slowly approached and stopped by the roadside.

“What’s up? Why are you looking for me?” Lin You looked at Mageon with a puzzled expression.

“It’s nothing major, just delivering the equipment we talked about before, and by the way, asking for some grain. Do you still have the grain you gave me last time? My clansmen all said they liked it a lot, could you give me another three thousand pounds?”

Mageon didn’t even glance at Meng Qing’an and directly spoke to Lin You.

The grain he referred to was, of course, not ordinary grain but the fortified grain grown outside Yellow Sand City.

Ever since the dwarves first tasted it, they fell in love with it deeply, and every time they delivered equipment, they’d ask Lin You for more, which made him helpless but unable to refuse.

After all, the value of this equipment far exceeded that of any grain.

But Lin You didn’t expect Mageon to ask for three thousand pounds right off the bat, nearly taking his breath away.

“Three thousand pounds, do you think it comes with the wind? A thousand pounds at most, no more. The people in my city rely on this grain to live.”

“A thousand pounds, do you think that’s a bit too little?”

Mageon awkwardly rubbed his hands, entirely without the dignity of a Dwarf King.

In fact, not just his clansmen, even he himself, liked this grain a lot.

Not only could it strengthen the body, but it also temporarily enhanced strength, and it tasted better than ordinary grain.

No wonder he kept thinking about it.

But seeing Lin You’s take-it-or-leave-it look, he had to compromise: “Alright, alright, a thousand pounds it is. But you have to promise me, when the grain production increases later, give us a little more.”

“Don’t worry, when production goes up, you won’t get less.” Lin You agreed directly, then looked at the carts behind Mageon, “By the way, is this equipment the same as the last batch?”

“Yes, per your request, thirty sets each of Tier Four to Tier Six, plus fifty sets of basic equipment, have all been delivered to you.”

“Okay, just leave it here for now, I’ll call someone to pick it up later.”

Lin You said nonchalantly, already used to it.

Unaware that over at the side, upon hearing their conversation, the hearts of the two had already plunged into shock.

Thirty sets of equipment from Tier Four to Tier Six each!

And crafted personally by the dwarves!

Seeing this, they couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

After a moment’s hesitation, Meng Qing’an suddenly interjected, awkwardly saying, “Uh… ahem, Brother Lin You, do you have any plans to sell this equipment? I can purchase it at a high price.”

“Me too, willing to purchase at a high price!” Zhao Ting followed up immediately.

“You wish to buy it?” Lin You turned his head to look at them, “It’s possible, but it’s not up to me. You have to ask this guy.”

After speaking, he gestured towards Mageon beside him.

The two, seeing this, immediately directed their hopeful gazes towards Mageon.

But to their surprise, Mageon merely glanced at them and then averted his gaze: “Not interested.”

“Uh…”

Meng Qing’an and Zhao Ting were left breathless, unexpected to be refused so bluntly.

Looking towards Lin You and seeing him shrug helplessly, they could only regretfully say:

“Alright, if Brother Lin You intends to sell equipment in the future, remember to contact me.”

“You can contact me too, I don’t mind a higher price.”

After that, they turned back to their entourage and left with their respective teams.

Lin You didn’t pay much attention to this little episode.

After chatting with Mageon outside the city for a while, he called people over to transport the equipment back into the city and load the agreed grain onto the cart for the Dwarf Tribe.

Upon hearing that there were new equipment to receive, Wei Gang, who was training soldiers in the city, immediately rushed out with his subordinates, running faster than a rabbit.

After all, it was equipment crafted by the Dwarf Race, incomparable to ordinary equipment in terms of quality and value.

In all the nearby cities, perhaps only Yellow Sand City could enjoy this treatment.

It made the passersby stare in amazement, filled with envy.

Quite a few cultivators even clamored to join Yellow Sand City and serve Lin You.

For these newly joined cultivators.

Naturally, Lin You couldn’t immediately distribute equipment and resources.

Instead, he let Xue Changgui and Wei Gang observe and evaluate, distributing according to contributions to prevent them from taking the equipment and running away.

They must ensure loyalty before they’re worth cultivating.

And so.

After giving instructions, Lin You returned to his territory once more, using the magic powder he just obtained to continue crafting enchantment scrolls.

…

What Lin You didn’t know was.

His news of topping the Duchy Tier Six leaderboard had also drawn the attention of King Ji Xinghe.

At this moment, Ji Xinghe was sitting on the throne in the palace, reviewing the leaderboard.

“Father, what do you need from me?”

Suddenly, the palace doors opened.

A spirited young woman, wearing armor with a sword on her waist, walked in.

Ji Xinghe looked up, showing a rare gentle smile: “Yunshuang, you’re here, come and sit, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

“Is it about the leaderboard?”

The young woman sat down beside Ji Xinghe.

Her shoulder-length hair fell like snow to her waist, her lips were like jade, her brows like willow, and her soft appearance complemented her cold and proud aura.

She bore some resemblance to Ji Xinghe between her eyebrows.

This woman was Ji Xinghe’s daughter, and also the Princess of the Great Wilderness Duchy, Ji Yunshuang!
