Chapter 256: The Frost City Co-governance and the Dispute between the City Lord

In Ning Yi's view, the demon potion is not an evolution at all, strictly speaking, it should be called a "degeneration potion".
Returning human beings to some kind of ancient species, and gaining the abilities and talents of those creatures, is just to bring back the "drowned" who are still eliminated in the torrent of history.
Among the ancient species, including those monsters, demons and gods that have existed in various myths and stories, and many other magical species, their genes have also been inherited to humans in various ways throughout history, and precipitated in the depths of the gene chain.
And the demon potion is the password and key to open the treasure house of life of the gene chain.
Ning Yi sent the information to Lu Tianming's smart bracelet: "Find an opportunity to sell things to your old employer, I think this information should be able to be sold at a good price." β
Lu Tianming's old club is naturally Kabbalah Pharmaceutical Group.
And Ning Yi's move is obviously intended to be a wall grass swinging with the wind, betting on both sides.
"This ......"
Lu Tianming hesitated, he couldn't understand why Ning Yi wanted to do such a dangerous thing.
If you don't have the strength and want to fight vertically and horizontally, you can eat both sides, so it is very likely that before any benefits fall, you will first usher in a joint attack from the hostile sides.
It's like Ah San in the world pattern, always trying to swing undisciplined among the big forces in the east and the west, but after a century and a half, he still hasn't been able to mix with the status of a big power.
What's worse is that because the political tendency is not obvious, it is rejected by the political circles of the east and west poles at the same time, and the result is that the more mixed it is, the worse it gets, and the name of a regional power can only be mixed is better than nothing, which is really extremely incommensurate with the population and national strength of Ah San.
This is what happens if you don't put yourself in the right position!
And standing in front of the two powerful forces of the Life Cube Company and the Kabbalah Group, Ning Yi is far inferior to Ah San's international status, and the only possibility of throwing out the improved genetic potion of demon blood is to attract Kabbalah, a hungry wolf.
The wolf is a carnivore, the instinct to hunt is engraved in its genes, and bloodlust and cruelty are its mottos.
Doing private deals with such an organization is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger!
However, Ning Yi didn't seem to be aware of this, or should it be said, he knew the result, but he still didn't care: "Don't worry, everything is under control." β
According to Kabbalah's usual way of doing things, it is not difficult for Ning Yi to predict their actions, and this is one of his goals.
What better way to demonstrate the lab's "new product performance" than a confrontation of force between an apostle and a large group of killers?
The Li family, who have obtained the essence of the elixir, will be driven by inflated ambitions, and their greed will grow uncontrollably, and if Ning Yi does not want to become a pawn of the Li family, he must create an enemy for them again.
And it is clear that there is no better target than the Kabbalah Pharmaceutical Group, which has been in love with the Rubik's Cube for half a century.
Violent conflict will forcibly shift the perspective and focus, so that Ning Yi can proudly get out of this vortex and enter a higher level of conflict.
Low-level conflicts are often fraught with a variety of uncontrollable factors, and the mortality rate of the participants is too high.
Therefore, Ning Yi needs a better status and influence, and this kind of thing is obviously impossible to obtain by taking refuge in the Li family.
must have "irreplaceable" value and "indestructible" strength, and Ning Yi will have the capital to strive for the status of "partner".
And Kabbalah Pharmaceutical Group will be a good testing stone.
Lu Tianming didn't know the details of Ning Yi, nor did he know his true ability, so his heart was drifting.
But after thinking about it again, he found that he had no way to retreat, so he could only sigh and go to the task.
β¦β¦
After arranging the next research progress, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and Ning Yi only had to eat some leftovers when he got home.
On the other side of the balcony, Su Qizheng pouted and complained: "Ning Yi, you are absent from class again today, Lao Zhu has already set his sights on you!" β
Lao Zhu is the head teacher of Class 7, a middle-aged man who always has a strained face and does not smile when facing students.
However, he actually has a good temper and is more tolerant of students, as long as you don't make mistakes of principle.
It's like a student with outstanding "specialties" like Ning Yi, who occasionally skips class or something, which is understandable.
But recently, Ning Yi has turned "occasionally" into "often", which is unbearable!
Seeing such a big move from parents, when dealing with students with specialties like Ning Yi, they don't plan to use Lao Zhu as much as possible.
After all, he still thinks that the student can think of himself after graduation, so he plans to talk to Ning Yi in a tortuous way.
For example, ask Su Qi to tell you.
Su Qi gloated at Ning Yi: "Hehe, Lao Zhu said that you have to report to school tomorrow morning, and you have to go to his office." β
The head teacher's office, the guillotine of the student party, is almost the same as the legendary forbidden place, and I don't really want to go to Ning Yi if I can.
However, Lao Zhu is taking care of himself these days, and Ning Yi also understands that he can't help but know and understand, and he still has to give face to such a thing.
Ning Yi glanced at Su Qi: "Lao Zhu wants to find me, why are you happy?" β
Su Qimei's eyes were horizontal: "Hey, who told you not to go to class well these days and run outside all day long, I think Lao Zhu should have cleaned you up a long time ago." β
The two laughed for a while, then logged into the game and reconciled in the fantasy world.
As soon as it went online, Ning Yi automatically logged into the Frost Fortress.
Today, the Frost Fortress is a player-occupied area, governed by the Thousand Faces Family, the Blossom of the World, and the Immortal Traces.
The original Frost Fortress quest has become a regional alternate space quest, and the entrance is inside the Frost Fortress.
The copy is divided into five parts: the main hall and the four gates of the south, east, west, and north.
Players are free to choose to raid these five dungeons, and brush back and forth before the income drops.
However, when it comes to farming dungeons, it must be the most convenient for the three guilds, after all, their base camp is directly in the Frost Fortress.
Frost Fortress is a county-level city, and its current population capacity is capped at 100,000, which refers to the number of citizens.
In reality, the resident population, including NPCs and players, is basically more than three times that number.
The extra people belong to the black household registration and cannot enjoy many citizen rights and interests such as shopping discounts and regular resource subsidies.
But even so, many players still flock to this place.
After all, there are so many NPCs living in a county town, and some of them are still powerful and powerful people, whether it is a task opportunity or a task reward, there are more benefits to dig into here.
As soon as it was launched, Ning Yi called a meeting of everyone, and basically the high-level leaders of the guild were present.
"Have you counted the situation of the Frost Fortress?"
In reality, two days, nearly six days in the game, a group of half-baked players finally counted the condition of the Frost Fortress as an approximation.
After all, it is a big city with an area of more than 25 square kilometers, and the area in the county is also very large, at least larger than Yunlan City.
Moreover, it comes with a large dungeon with a challenge level of 25~35, so it is almost inevitable that it will be able to attract a large number of players in the future.
In this way, the prosperity of the Frost Fortress is also predictable, which is worth everyone's careful management.
"The resources and funds have been allocated, but for the position of city lord, we and the other two guilds have not been able to negotiate yet."
In addition to being in charge of finance, Drizzle is now also responsible for specific public relations and communication tasks.
Especially when communicating with the group of Bai Fumei who are full of flowers, without her, a female student with a sweet appearance and elegant temperament, she is really a little uncontrollable.
"Castle Lord, ......"
Ning Yi muttered in his mouth.
The official position of city lord was born from the early city-state system, and it still existed in the border areas in a country like the Dongyu Empire, where the imperial system and the feudal system coexisted.
Frost Fortress was originally a wild land, but it was transformed by Frost Silence with divine power to appear, so it belongs to both enemy territory and borderless land.
So according to the Imperial Nobility Law, whoever occupies it belongs to whomever it is.
From a legal point of view, the Frost Fortress belongs to the three guilds to share and co-govern, but after all, there is only one position of the city lord, and because he is directly responsible for the specific operation, he has great power.
With such a good position, there will naturally be no shortage of people who want to move their butts up.
Whether it is the flowers of the world, the thousand-faced family, or the immortal traces, they will not be willing to give up the position of the city lord to others.
For Ning Yi, the current state of urban co-governance is even better than the immortal trail monopolizing this place.
Because the Blossom and Thousand Faces families are super-large guilds with big backings, with their joining, the development of the Frost Fortress Land will definitely be able to enter the fast lane.
Not to mention the development of a thousand miles a day, a few hundred miles a day is the minimum requirement, right?
In this way, Ning Yi has to come up with a way to maintain co-governance and eliminate hidden dangers.
"How about finding an NPC to be the lord of the castle?"
Ning Yi put forward his own opinion: "Then establish a city council system, the council members have legislative power and supervision power, and control the order of the city's resources behind the scenes, and the specific operation and management will be handed over to more credible NPCs." β
Obviously, mutual trust between people is very difficult, and it is even more of a joke to talk about trust between different organizations.
There is not a single organization in history that has been able to maintain a close relationship from beginning to end!
People are social animals, but also interest animals, if it is a simple individual, such as between Ning Yi and a thousand noodles bottle, it is not difficult to maintain a rational and good cooperative relationship.
However, it is very difficult to expand to the collective, to rise to the organization, and to cooperate between the Immortal Miracle and the Thousand Faces Family without hindrance.
Because the organization is a wild existence, with a strong possessiveness and insatiable greed for profit.
Regardless of which guild's player is the castle lord, it will not be able to gain the trust of the other two parties.
