Looking at it for a long time, Yuancheng's convoy was submerged in the long line, which was inconspicuous.

In order not to attract attention, Hu Fan lowered the curtain of the carriage, but Qin Lan was used to using the statue of the city god as his body. Once he gets used to it, he won't be physically limited by the statue of the city god. As long as you sweep it with your consciousness, you can know what is going on around you.

Because of the limitation of the amount of faith attached to the statue of the city god, his consciousness can only look around the range of five meters around his body at present.

This is very different from seeing directly with the eyes, in Qin Lan's perception, the surrounding world is a sphere. Within the confines of the sphere he perceived, he could see even the dirt in the land very clearly. But once you get past the range of five meters, the outside world is plunged into darkness.

This is perceived using consciousness.

Consciousness perception can coexist with the five senses of the city god statue.

It is precisely because you are not able to move the statue of the city god by yourself that the function of consciousness perception is particularly important. This is very similar to the role of the martial artist's divine consciousness 20,000 years ago, and the difference is that the martial artist's divine consciousness is a 'general' perception, just to obtain rough information, and pay more attention to the scope and strength of the divine consciousness. And Qin Lan's consciousness perception is full of precision.

In terms of range, it may not be as good as the divine sense of a warrior. However, the objects within the scope of Qin Lan's consciousness perception are equivalent to a high-precision scan all the time, as long as Qin Lan wants to, he can parse out all the structures that exist within the scope of consciousness perception.

The investigation efficiency of Kishiyama City was very high, and in just a short time, the team was visibly shortened.

"Lord Jogami, it should be our turn in two more hours. Hu Fan spoke to Qin Lan.

"Do you have to queue up like this every time you go into town to be checked?"

"No, I don't. Ink Dye took out a badge from his pocket and shook it in front of the statue of the castle god, "This is the orc hunter badge of the Kiriyama Castle Orc Hunter Association." As long as you have this badge, you can go straight into the city. ”

"Is the Orc Hunter Guild ......?"

Qin Lan moved slightly, the idea of establishing an orc hunter association within Yuan City in the future. But when I think about it, it's a bit unreliable.

Yuancheng itself does not have the unique geographical advantage of Shore Mountain City, and if you only talk about the quality and quantity of crystal beasts, the surroundings of Yuancheng are not enough to attract orc hunters.

During this period of time alone, the City God Army had almost cleared the jungle in the area where several crystal beasts gathered near Yuancheng. Even so, there were only more than a hundred crystal beasts hunted.

In the past, there might have been more crystal beasts in the vicinity, but don't forget that Yuan Cheng can just experience two crystal beast tides.

One hundred and twenty at a time, more than four hundred at a time.

All that adds up to a huge number of five hundred and fifty.

Not to mention a small city like Yuancheng, even some of the cities in the city group of Anshan City will be flattened by a group of crystal beasts of this size.

After experiencing the tide of crystal beasts, the crystal beasts near Yuancheng can be said to have been hollowed out.

Unless you take it deeper into the inaccessible barren lands, it will be difficult to encounter a large number of crystal beasts. And in those barren areas, not to mention carriages, even the hunters in those harsh terrain conditions can hardly guarantee the speed of travel. The vegetation of the Gugan Forest is so dense that in some places there are no gaps for people to pass through.

Crystal beasts also choose the environment in which they live, and obviously, many places in the Gugen Forest are not suitable for them to survive.

To this day, the City God Army is still hunting crystal beasts.

It can be said that within a radius of five kilometers, under the continuous hunting of the City God Army, one day, it will be hunted clean.

At that time, except for some smaller beasts, the jungle near Yuancheng will be completely free of living creatures.

Qin Lan didn't know if it was good or bad. Even though the Crystal Beast will bring calamity that will not be able to sleep all day long, it is also a rare resource.

The materials and spars of the crystal beast are worth a thousand gold. Just look at the shore mountain city, relying on the economic circle generated by hunting crystal beasts, the surrounding cities have made a lot of money, and to this day, this huge economic circle still exudes vitality.

It's just that Yuancheng doesn't have that kind of conditions. Qin Lan could only follow his own ideas and develop the industries within Yuancheng step by step.

Of course, Qin Lan didn't completely extinguish the mind of eating the crystal beast dividend.

After all, he has a natural advantage in terms of combat power, and as a god-level refining master, he is a top-level craftsman himself. As long as Qin Lan has soul power, he can continuously build extremely strong elite soldiers and form a beast hunting team, which will also be a god to kill gods and Buddhas.

It's a bit of a pity to have this ability but no reason.

Yuancheng is hopeless.

Qin Lan could only put this idea on the branch city to be established in the future.

The establishment of an empire is definitely not just the development of a city.

In that case, a lot of the dynamism of development will be abandoned.

There is always a limit to what a city can do.

Restricted by many factors such as the size of the territory, geographical location, population, terroir and culture, the development potential of a city is limited. If it is represented by a coordinate system, it is a landslide from high to low, from the beginning of high-speed development, slowly returning to stability and flatness.

Moreover, a city will never be able to achieve complete industrial perfection. It's like manufacturing, a city with manufacturing capacity may not have raw materials. However, there is a lack of manufacturing industry chain in cities with raw materials.

The industrial perfection conceived by Qin Lan is definitely not a matter of a city.

Rather, it's a matter for a country.

Yuancheng's problems in crystal beast resources and natural resources make it destined to become a big city of materials, and it will not be able to achieve self-sufficiency in the true sense.

The extra productivity, such as the City God Army, can't be idle all the time, right?

If there is a city with a unique location like Shore Mountain City and rich crystal beast resources for the City God Army to play, it will be true and will not waste production capacity.

But that's for later. It's just that Qin Lan needs to start preparing now and start laying lines for the future.

If you don't plan the blueprint in your mind from the very beginning, and think about doing it immediately when you need it, it will cause the ecology that has been built up with great difficulty to disintegrate. Whether it is a city or a country, once it falls into a situation of stable development, it is like an independent ecosystem. Making hasty decisions to change and reform the situation of stable development is like invasive species, which will not only fail to achieve good results, but will eventually collapse the original ecosystem.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the rear of the line.

The original team was not quiet, but these conversations with an obvious sense of conflict were still unusually conspicuous in the vast number of voices.

"Haha, Ju Wanqing, didn't you say that you were going to come back to hunt a crystal beast for us to see? What about the crystal beast? Why didn't we see it?"

"Huh? That's weird. Could it be that I'm blind? I only saw a stretcher being carried back, where was the carriage with the crystal beast?"

The sound was very close, as if it was at the back of the Yuancheng convoy.

Qin Lan frowned, someone disturbed his thinking, which made him very unhappy.

However, he didn't mean to be nosy, there were conflicts everywhere, not to mention the orcs who licked blood on the tip of their knives, and conflicts could be seen everywhere.

Without the restraint of the Orc Hunter Guild, the conflict between the Orc Hunters would be even more blatant.

"I didn't hunt the crystal beast, what's your business?" a weak, crisp girl's voice sounded.

"Why is it none of our business? When will the 500,000 silver coins you owe our Chamber of Commerce be repaid? Didn't you say that you would be an orc hunter and hunt crystal beasts to pay off your debts? ”

"You don't need to worry about it. Ju Wanqing's voice was still very cold, but Qin Lan was already sensitive to subtle changes in people's feelings, although this voice tried her best to hide it, Qin Lan still heard a trace of embarrassment and lack of confidence.

"Before the debt repayment date, I will definitely pay back all the money I owe to your chamber of commerce. ”

"It's still ......," the man sneered, "I'll tell you, Ju Zhengqing." I told you about the debt repayment day before, just to see your jokes. What are you going to pay back? Do you really think you can hunt crystal beasts yourself? Let those beast hunters laugh when they hear it!"

"Alone, with no equipment, you dare to go into the jungle to hunt crystal beasts?"

"We will condone your willfulness just to see your jokes!"

Qin Lan's heart became more and more irritable, he hated these things the most. disturbed his purity, which he did not like the most.

"Castle God-sama......"

A voice was calling to him.

It's Hu Fan.

"Don't worry about it. Qin Lan said coldly, "Let them rip it off themselves." ”

"Now the Chamber of Commerce is in no mood to watch you play monkey. The man sneered and said, "Ju Zhengqing, come with us." Seeing that you look quite delicate, let's use your face to pay off the debt. ”

When he said the latter sentence, the man licked his lips, and there was irrepressible excitement in his voice.

A cacophony ensued.

"Why do you ...... It's just 500,000 silver coins, and the original contract is not that I just need to pay it back within three years...... Let it go!" the voice became angry and helpless.

"Lord City God...... Hu Fan couldn't help but speak again, "She is one of the business talents I said before." ”

"Huh?" Qin Lan was originally not interested in this, but after hearing Hu Fan's words, she immediately frowned, "She's ......"

Qin Lan remembered Hu Fan's introduction to him at the beginning, and it seemed that he did say a girl's name called Ju Zhengqing......

Qin Lan didn't think about it in this direction at all before, but who knew that he would meet Hu Fan and the talents he said in such a way?

The main reason is that when Hu Fan introduced it, the scale of the chamber of commerce established in the late Qing Dynasty was not large, and the profit was not very impressive. Rather, it's still in its infancy. The founder of a fledgling chamber of commerce, Qin Lan didn't care too much.

But looking at this, it should be that after the Tomb Tooth team left Kishiyama City, what happened?

Is it worth saving her?

This is a question worth pondering.

At this stage, Qin Lan didn't want to make too many enemies.

This is an unwise decision for Yuancheng, which is still in the process of development.

Don't say how beautiful Ju Zhengqing looks, even if he was a saint in his previous life, for Qin Lan, it was just a bargaining chip on the balance in his heart.

Judging from the fact that no one dared to intervene, the Chamber of Commerce that lived in arrears in the late Qing Dynasty should be in Anshan City, which can be regarded as a relatively strong force. Otherwise, hunters who are not afraid of heaven and earth, there will always be people who dare to stand up and make a drama of 'heroes saving beauty'. It's a big deal to leave Anshan City, the world is big, and there is a place for heroes to go.

Does Ju Wanqing have the talent to let Qin Lan, or rather, let Yuancheng be the enemy of that chamber of commerce, and save her?

Ju Wanqing is now obviously a failure of the Chamber of Commerce, so he owes 500,000 debts. The arrears of 500,000 silver coins are a very large amount for a chamber of commerce that has just started its infancy.

A simple comparison shows that the annual profit of the Romi textile workshop is only more than 100,000 silver dollars...... And that's not even net profit after costs. If it is a net profit, it is estimated to be 50,000 or 60,000 silver dollars.

Although this is due to the fact that the scale of Yuan City is too pitiful, it can also reflect on the side what a huge number of 500,000 silver dollars is.

"Lord City God, Ju Wanqing is about to be taken away. Hu Fan said anxiously.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Qin Lan was a little puzzled, "You like her?"

Hu Fan was embarrassed, but then shook his head again and again: "No, Lord City God, it's just that I think that Ju Wanqing may be the most suitable candidate for the establishment of the Yuancheng Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Oh, how can you see it?" Qin Lan became interested. He remembered that when he first introduced the business talents of Anshan City, Hu Fan was also the second to introduce Ju Wanqing.

"Lord Jogami, I'll talk about this reason later. Hu Fan hurriedly said, "Ju Wanqing is about to be arrested, and it will be too late if he doesn't make a move." ”

"And, there's another reason. Hu Fan hesitated, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"If you have something to say, just say it. ”

After hearing Qin Lan's words, Hu Fan did not dispel his concerns.

"Forget it, Lord Castle God, you didn't say that to me. ”

"How do you babble? If you have something to say, you can just say it. Qin Lan frowned, "Why, don't you listen to the lord's words?"

Hu Fan took a deep breath and said simply: "Mo Dye, it's the cousin of the late Qing Dynasty." ”

"Huh?" Qin Lan glanced at the ink dye.

Ink dye lowered his head, a worried look on his face.

Because the conversation between Qin Lan and Hu Fan was carried out by transmission, Mo Ran did not hear it.

Qin Lan hadn't noticed Mo Ran's expression before, but seeing her worried and painful look, the truth was not far away.

Ink dyeing, it turned out to be the cousin of the late Qing Dynasty?

Qin Lan's head was a little dizzy, he felt that the world was sometimes more dramatic than novels.

He also understood the reason why Hu Fan didn't want to tell himself.

And Ink Dye, even though he sensed that his cousin was about to be taken away, he didn't ask him for help.

Because they care so much about who they are, and they always keep it in mind.

As a slave, he is not qualified to make demands of his master.
