Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

“Gentlemen, you're forcing my hand here!” Tang Wen said in a low voice.

After all, facing four thousand guards, Tang Wen had to “consider the bigger picture” and couldn't loudly refuse, saying he wasn't the city lord or anything that would affect morale.

The cunning old leaders had seen this and deliberately announced it in front of everyone.

There were not only four thousand guards in front of him, but also some female warriors who hadn't gone to the battlefield had also come underground, but when they saw this hellish scene, they all found places to vomit.

Demons were basically male, and they would be more manic when they saw women than usual.

Therefore, the already small number of female powerhouses had survived.

Their original identities were basically the wives and concubines of various big shots, and some were even pulled from brothels, and basically hadn't seen any blood.

Saying that Tang Wen was the Gushan City Lord in front of four thousand guards and several thousand female warriors.

In less than three days, the news would spread throughout Gushan City.

Of course, the leaders and patriarchs of various families would also send people to create momentum crazily, striving to let everyone in Gushan City, and even the wild dogs on the roadside, know that Tang Wen had saved Gushan City.

He was the city lord!

He was a genuine elder of the White Tiger Tribe with multiple fourth-grade experts!

He was the only direct disciple of a fourth-grade expert!

He could mobilize dozens of fifth-grade experts from the White Tiger Tribe!

That was dozens of fifth-grade experts!

Each one was as swift as the wind, capable of taking on three!

It wasn't enough to let the entire Gushan City know, the nearby forces also had to know.

Especially the Sihai Camp, it had to be heavily publicized.

Facing pairs of shocked, respectful, doubtful, and puzzled eyes, Tang Wen could only say a few words.

“The fourth-grade Throne expert still refuses to agree to protect Gushan City?” After he finished speaking, the guards and female soldiers went to clean up the battlefield, and Huang Shisan couldn't wait to ask.

Tang Wen sighed: “If he had agreed, I wouldn't have such a headache.”

Wanting to save their lives by handing over a mere 40% of their annual harvest?

It wasn't that easy.

“What things does the White Tiger Tribe usually lack?”

“I don't know.”

“Do they lack slaves? Do they need people to do laundry and cook? What do the White Tigers eat? What special foods do they need?”

“Our Horse Gang is willing to contribute a batch of exotic beasts.”

“City Lord, Guild Master, whatever the White Tiger Tribe needs, as long as it exists in the world, our Chamber of Commerce can buy it from other places!”

“……”

These guys were all talented.

Tang Wen pretended to think, and then looked at the Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce: “Have you been to Sanlian City?”

“I've been there, I've been there, I've been there!”

“I heard they produce firearms there.”

The Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce was still very capable: “That's right, they have firearms there, one shot can kill a medium-level exotic beast, and injure a high-level exotic beast. If it's against people, it can kill a third-grade martial artist.”

“Sanlian City should have a lot of good things, right?”

“Yes, there are a lot of new things.”

Tang Wen nodded.

Zhao Chuang couldn't help but say: “City Lord, do you have any ideas?”

“Well, as far as I know, the White Tiger Tribe has a lot of fur and medicinal materials, and they don't lack weapons either. If you want them to be moved, you have to have some new things, a heartfelt approach, not just tribute. Otherwise, it's easy to be replaced.”

Replaced?

Everyone was stunned, and then felt a chill down their spines.

Yes, they weren't the only ones who could pay tribute.

Wasn't there a force next door that could replace them?

If the Sihai Camp found the White Tiger Tribe, persuaded them to stand by and watch, and then launched a night raid on Gushan City, after it was done, they could pay tribute with 70-80% of the loot, and keep 20-30% for themselves, which would also be a huge gain!

Tang Wen was facing a group of old foxes who had seen too much of the dark side.

Or rather, they themselves were the biggest dark forces within tens of thousands of miles of Gushan City.

The bad things they had done were so numerous that it was no exaggeration to say they could fill a cart.

The Huang family's children forcibly took women, and killed entire families. They had done too many things to destroy families for wealth, they couldn't even count them.

With Tang Wen's hint, they didn't need to say anything else, they would be scared by their own imaginations.

Sure enough, the most colorful face was Huang Shisan's.

His eyes were full of suspicion, like a fugitive who heard someone knocking on the door to check the water meter, and didn't know what to do.

“City Lord, with the current strength of my Huang family, it's not enough to keep 60% of the harvest, I can let out a little more, and the number of years of tribute is also negotiable. It's just,” Huang Shisan lowered his voice: “The people who come, I mean, the experts sent by the White Tiger Tribe, must be reliable!”

Tang Wen sneered in his heart: So you also know how to be afraid?

Reliable people are those who follow the rules.

Seeing that their Huang family was eating well and drinking spicy food, they couldn't come to take their place.

Tang Wen: “I see the sincerity of the Huang family head. However, I don't think we can simply offer tribute.”

“Yes, yes.”

“I would like to hear the City Lord's opinion.”

Tang Wen pressed his hand down, and the crowd quieted down with unease in their eyes.

Only the newly appointed President of the Chamber of Commerce—Feng Sanniang, and the freshly baked Chief Steward of Gushan City—Shui Yun, had calm expressions, looking like they were sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.

“The Huang family head has considered everything very carefully, and the experts who come to guard Gushan City must be reliable.

I've also considered this point, and there are many people up and down in the White Tiger Tribe.

We have to find reliable partners, such as the Tiger Cloud who came today, and the Holy Maiden who came before, they are all very good partners.”

Tiger Yun, who was far away, heard his name, strode over with his long legs, and under everyone's gaze, greeted him generously, and pulled Tang Wen aside to discuss something in a voice transmission.

Huh?

The old foxes noticed a trace of abnormality.

Wasn't this White Tiger Tribe's Lei Department's top expert's attitude towards Tang Wen too intimate?

Shui Qianjun looked at his daughter, and then at Feng Sanniang.

The latter had been following Tang Wen recently, and said: “Sister Yun and Young Master Tang Wen, um, it's what you think it is.”

The eyes of several old foxes obviously shook.

The third master of the Ship Gang's voice was full of admiration: “The City Lord is really gifted! He can even handle a fifth-grade peak expert!”

The Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce also flattered him.

The Horse Gang leader was not good at this, after all, he was the gang leader, so he could only dryly say “amazing”.

No one thought their reaction was exaggerated, because the others couldn't handle fifth-grade women either.

Not to mention a fifth-grade peak, even if they were fighting with a sixth-grade peak woman in a narrow space.

In the beginning, they could take some advantage.

By noon, they were evenly matched.

In the afternoon, they had to consider retreating.

When the stars and moon rose, they basically could only ask people to give up automatically.

When dawn came, they would feel more tired than a life-and-death struggle.

There is no land that can be ruined by plowing!

Tiger Yun and Tang Wen pretended to transmit their voices for a while, and then Tiger Yun threw his hand away and left in a hurry, as if a little unhappy.

Tang Wen frowned and came back: “What I didn't finish just now, this one who pulled me away is also my confidante.”

Shui Qianjun and others were not surprised.

Tang Wen: “Her name is Tiger Yun, and she is one of the high-level members of the White Tiger Tribe.”

“High-level?” Shui Qianjun interjected, relying on his cheap master's identity.

“Well, she has a hunting group under her command, specializing in hunting fifth-grade exotic beasts. She is very powerful.”

Everyone's eyes lit up, as if they saw hope.

“Still the same sentence, they can't see the materials we can take out. Sister Yun saw that I was really embarrassed, and was forced to be the city lord by everyone, so she discussed a way with me.

Each family will take out a part of their harvest and hand it over to the Chamber of Commerce, the Horse Gang, and the Ship Gang to carry out foreign trade together. At the same time, your three families must also bear the task of selling the White Tiger Tribe's surplus materials.”

Before they could react, Tang Wen sighed: “But I'm still hesitating, in this way, everyone's harvest will be less than 50%.”

Huang Shisan's face changed: “I saw that Madam Tiger Yun was unhappy just now, wouldn't it be because you didn't agree?”

Others also realized this, and their faces were ugly: How could Gushan City have room for bargaining now?

Tang Wen glanced at him and defaulted.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts: City Lord, we are asking people to do things.

Shui Qianjun sighed first, his tone a little heavier: “Wen'er, we are now waiting for people to save our lives. Whether it's giving up 50% or 60%, it can be discussed, you can't scare people away.”

Tang Wen shook his head: “Master doesn't know, Sister Yun wants 10%, and can only send a dozen or so peak fifth-grade experts. This number is obviously not enough.”

Shui Qianjun really wanted to refute his disciple: A dozen or so peak fifth-grade experts could destroy the current Gushan City!

How could the number not be enough?

But he also knew that his disciple was saying that the number was not enough to defend against the demon army.

Tang Wen: “For the remaining manpower, I plan to ask the Holy Maiden Tiger Lan for it.”

Everyone had seen the Holy Maiden Tiger Lan, and the current White Tiger Guards in Gushan City were all sent by her, and their performance was obvious to all.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Then give 40% to the White Tiger Tribe, 10% to Sister Yun, and another 10% to the Holy Maiden. That's 60% gone.

I thought, to move my master and ask him to guard Gushan City, it must also take 10%.

That's 70-30!

Everyone works hard in the wind and rain, and in the end, 70% belongs to others, and we only get 30%! I'm not willing!”

Tang Wen sighed long.

Vice President Qian said gratefully: “So the City Lord is thinking of everyone.

The demon disaster is vast, we have killed hundreds of fifth-grade demons, and the loss is huge, and the strength is less than 30% of the peak.

I don't know about other families, but if the Chamber of Commerce doesn't have the protection of the White Tiger experts, I'm afraid the trade routes will have to stop.

In the future, we can only run some small business charlatans within the scope of Gushan City, and the profit is probably less than 10% of the previous.”

Huang Sanniang nodded lightly after hearing this, her beautiful eyes flickered and looked at Tang Wen.

The other family heads also knew that this was true.

The Chamber of Commerce had to have fifth-grade experts to suppress the situation when collecting goods, fifth-grade experts to suppress the situation when traveling outside to do business, fifth-grade experts to guard the warehouse, and fifth-grade experts to guard the main hall.

Without experts, the trade route would not work.

Tang Wen looked at Feng Sanniang: “That's 70%, is the Chamber of Commerce also willing to give it?”

Feng Sanniang had just taken over the Chamber of Commerce and hadn't thought of what to say, she looked around, saw the leaders frowning and feeling very heartache, and then looked at Shui Yun.

Shui Yun had been managing the internal affairs of the gang for many years, and immediately combined the actual situation and said:

“City Lord, please wait, I heard that the City Lord meant to jointly form a caravan with the families of Gushan City, to transport goods from the Shiwan Mountains through Gushan City to Sanlian City, and even further places.”

“That's right.”

Shui Yun turned her head: “Vice President Qian, please judge, if this trade route is successful, how much profit can be made? Is it more or less than before.”

Vice President Qian praised in his heart, this Blackwater Gang's eldest lady is indeed extraordinary, this question is really to the point, he looked at Tang Wen: “The City Lord said just now that the White Tiger Tribe will often hunt fifth-grade exotic beasts.”

“Not often, but every day.”

Vice President Qian took a deep breath: “If so, even if it's just some fifth-grade broken skin, broken bones, and broken meat for the Chamber of Commerce, our profit can be doubled at least.”

“Oh?” Tang Wen didn't believe it.

“City Lord doesn't know, the area around Sanlian City is very safe, and fifth-grade exotic beasts are almost extinct.

As the saying goes, things are valued for their scarcity, if fifth-grade exotic beast resources can really be transported there, the profit will only be greater.

Moreover, Sanlian City is three cities, each with wealthy families.

As long as we control the quantity of goods, let them compete with each other, I am confident that we can get even greater profits!”

Vice President Qian spoke eloquently about the Chamber of Commerce's affairs.

Zhao Chuang, Shui Qianjun, and the other family heads' faces eased slightly.

Tang Wen pretended to be enlightened: “If the profit can really be doubled, even if we only take 30%, it's about the same as the current profit.”

Shui Yun nodded: “That's right, it would be even more stable if we can cooperate in other aspects as well.”

“Give 70%! Is there a time limit?”

“Yes, how about the first three, um, the first five years 70%? Starting from the sixth year, pay 60%?”

“……”

The most difficult thing to talk about is matters involving interests.

If it wasn't for the demon army that could attack at any time, if it wasn't for their strength that was too damaged, if it wasn't for the lack of White Tiger protection, Gushan City might be destroyed.

Asking them for 70% is easier than killing them.

Tang Wen went to find his master Shadow Tiger again, and told him and Tiger Yun that he had taken 70% of the benefits, and told them not to leak it.

In fact, Tiger Yun's hunting group took 10%, and Tiger Lan's White Tiger Guards took 10%.

Lord Shadow Tiger also had 10%, but he said that he didn't need these vulgar things, so he gave them to his disciple Tang Wen.

The collective gift to the White Tiger Tribe only added 10% to the original 10%.

All in all, a total of 40% was given to the White Tiger Tribe.

Half of which was given to Tang Wen's two confidantes.

In addition, Tang Wen steadily held 30% in his hands.

That is to say, in the future, millions of people in the Gushan City area will work hard for a year, the White Tiger Tribe will conscientiously protect them for a year, and in the end, the results will be divided into 30% for Tang Wen, who did nothing!

Good, good.

It was worth my planning.

As for what to do if it drops to 60% after five years?

Hehe, if it can drop by 1% after five years, then Tang Wen is incompetent!

“Isn't it too ruthless to want 70%?” Tiger Yun asked.

Tang Wen smiled: “How could it be, they are more at ease when we say we take 70%, and they will thank us!”

He and Tiger Yun returned to the crowd in Gushan City and said loudly:

“It's done. 70%, the master agreed to stay and wait for the demon army to arrive.

However, his old man will not always stay in the city.

This way, you draw the appearance of the blood man, the city lord's iron crown was taken away by the blood man, and the master is willing to help us find it back.

If you can't find it back, try to find a strange object similar to the crown.

"In short, I will make Mountain City possess a fourth-grade combat power."

The big stone in everyone's heart finally fell, and their tense spirits relaxed. They cupped their hands and saluted, "This is the best possible outcome. Thank you, City Lord, thank you, Shadow Tiger!"

Tang Wen smiled and nodded, accepting the salute.

Tiger Cloud: ......
