Chapter 619: Chapter 314: Divine Envoy

”The construction of the Floating City is very necessary, so this time, I need the support of the Federation, a large amount of rare minerals, and some alchemists to help in Dongwu City.”

After Baiyi finished narrating about the two cities over at the Stars, he stated his request.

In his view, this was not something that would be refused. The Floating City represents something very significant, whether it’s the motivation it provides to the people of the Federation, its inherent value, or even the enhancement it brings to Baiyi himself, these people have no reason to refuse.

”I have no problem, but for those minerals and resources you want, at least give back the cost price, right?” Metheus asked with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of some legislators around slightly darkened, but perhaps due to Baiyi’s status and energy, they said nothing. On the contrary, some legislators who were more familiar even voiced their support.

For example, the SSS-level families, and the Koman Clan.

Baiyi gently shook his head. He knew Metheus was helping him. The three words ’Celestial City’ represent enormous profit, and if all the materials could be purchased at cost, it would indeed save a lot of money.

But... never underestimate the greed of capitalists, even if it is something beneficial to them.

Under Metheus’s surprised gaze, he extended five fingers, ”5%, a price 5% above cost. I won’t let you lose, but everything must be provided to Dongwu City as fast as possible, and I will provide a piece of land for free in the Inner City District for the legislators to come and visit or rest anytime.”

Metheus was entirely taken aback. He almost believed that Baiyi, given his style, wouldn’t even want to pay the cost price, but unexpectedly, he even offered some labor costs.

Nevertheless, this made him even more satisfied. He said with a smile, ”It was thoughtless of me. To show my apology, the Di Feng Family’s Teleportation Array will be free for all to teleport materials.”

As soon as the two finished speaking, the expressions of those whose faces had fallen earlier gradually softened.

Although a 5% profit might seem negligible compared to market prices, after all, the extraordinary signifies great profits.

But... at least there is profit, and that’s good enough.

Those who originally supported became even more amiable, voicing their support.

For a moment, the entire meeting felt rather harmonious.

Baiyi felt a bit emotional. When he was alone, he always wanted everything, but the more he pondered, the more he realized that the best way is mutual gain.

He smiled and said, ”As for the alchemists I mentioned earlier, I need Golden Level ones, the more the better. If they join me in building the Celestial City, I believe no alchemist would refuse.”

”Not a problem, not a problem. Except for necessary positions like Sunu, others can go over to you,” Metheus stroked his beard and said with joy.

”No.”

Patriarch Koman shook his head and smiled in response, ”Sunu can go too. The Alchemy Magic Net’s architecture is now mature enough, currently supporting 800 million people posting online simultaneously, so his leaving for a few years won’t be an issue.”

Everyone understood that what alchemists yearned for most was Dongwu City, and in Baiyi’s legend, he was never stingy in teaching other alchemists.

Following Baiyi was no small enhancement for alchemists.

Moreover, it was the Floating City, where alchemists in the disciplines of transformation and technology could learn a great deal.

Baiyi stood up and bowed slightly to the legislators, ”Then it’s a trouble for all of you. Please help notify the alchemists among the populace. Today is September 13, 1544 of the Dawn Calendar, and the Floating City will be launched in 1545, marking a new era of Alchemy.”

”In this dark age, I believe the radiance of order will never be extinguished.”

Legislators stood up one after another, looking at Baiyi with eyes growing more amiable. If Baiyi’s previous way of doing things made them love and hate him at the same time, now there was only appreciation and joy left.

As voting among the legislators commenced, one old man and woman after another raised their hands with smiles, with no objections to this decision.

”Baiyi City Lord.”

Just as Baiyi was about to leave, a voice called out in greeting.

Baiyi turned around and immediately saw the City Lord of Xiling City looking like he had something to say but didn’t.

”City Lord Maruna, is there something? ” Baiyi responded with a smile. He could roughly guess what Maruna wanted to ask.

But the Warrior’s matter should be asked to Luo Men, as he was an alchemist...

Maruna opened his mouth, the gray-green skin of the Beastman showing an inexplicable blush, seemingly embarrassed at asking such questions about cultivation to these young folks.

But thinking that the other three City Lords had all broken through to Legendary, leaving only himself at Golden Upper Tier, he bit his lip and asked, ”I want to consult about the Path to Legend.”

Baiyi pondered seriously for a moment and replied earnestly, ”Battle, the rules of a Warrior can only be understood in battle. The Path to Legend cannot be helped by others.”

Maruna exhaled a long sigh, a bit disappointed, ”I understand...”

After all, since becoming the Border City Lord, he had never ceased fighting. He always felt there might be another way for this youngest Legend...

”However...”

There was a turn of events, and Maruna immediately asked, ”However, what?”

The ears of the legislators also perked up secretly, who here was not at Golden Upper Tier, and who would not want to become a Legend?

”At the moment of the Divine Descent, it is both despair and rebirth. If you can engage in a pressure-filled battle at that time, Xia’s rules will confirm your own rules, and the breakthrough success rate will increase by at least 10%.”
