Otherworld Management Manual

Beastman Continent, Sirius Empire.

In the majestic palace, one old and one young are playing chess.

"I lost……"

Dean shook his head helplessly, playing chess with his father, he never won.

Logically speaking, it should be boring to win all the time, right? After all there is no challenge.

But no matter what, his father loves to play chess with him whenever he has nothing to do, and every time he doesn't kill him, he will throw away his helmet and unload his armor.

This made Dean very depressed, but who let the other party be his father, he had to hold back his depression.

"Ha ha!"

White looked delighted to have won another game against his son.

"Father, the ranking battle is almost over."

Now that the chess game is over, it's time to discuss business.

"It's almost over!"

Hearing Dean's words, White's eyes were in a trance for a moment.

If I remember correctly, this should be the twelfth ranking battle since he succeeded to the throne. It has been so many years!

"Yes, but because of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, this year's ranking competition is more intense than ever. In the end, the remaining kingdoms are less than 100, and there are only 87 kingdoms left..."

Dean spoke with a headache.

Although he said it was because of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, he knew that the ultimate reason was that the Sirius Empire was behind it.

The intensity of this world is far beyond his imagination.

He vaguely remembered that during the last ranking battle, that is, ten years ago, at the end, there were only 106 kingdoms left, and the flying wolf cavalry was dispatched to wipe out the remaining six kingdoms.

But this time, there were only eighty-seven kingdoms left, not even a hundred.

Of course, this doesn't mean that those countries were really wiped out, and some orcs chose to take refuge in other kingdoms.

But in any case, this ranking battle should be the one with the most casualties in the past few hundred years.

So many people died in war,

It is impossible to say that there is no touch at all, but Dean also knows that this kind of rule passed down from his ancestors must have its reasons. After he takes over his father's position, he will know the reason.

"So many people died..."

Hearing Dean's words, White also hesitated.

He hasn't paid much attention to the outside world these days. He remembers that the last time he learned about it, there were still a hundred and ten countries. It's only been a few days, and there are so many less.

However, compared to Dean, White didn't have much sympathy for these disappeared countries and dead orcs. After all, he had seen too many such things.

"Have any of the top ten kingdoms changed?"

Recently, White is slowly handing over to Dean to take care of, so there are many things that he didn't take the initiative to understand.

"There are only two left, the first and the fourth respectively, and the rest... all have been replaced!"

Speaking of this, Dean still feels a little unreal.

Which of these top ten kingdoms is not deeply rooted, with years of accumulation.

Theoretically speaking, as long as they don't fight among themselves, even if there are a few more ranking battles, it is impossible for the kingdom to shake their status, but unexpectedly, the appearance of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce broke this balance in an instant.

The food, weapons, etc. sold by the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce not only greatly improved the combat power of the countries other than the top ten, but also made them, the top ten kingdoms, have some different ideas.

After all, if you didn't fight before, it was because you knew you couldn't. Now that you have a chance, isn't this a try?

Therefore, these top ten kingdoms not only have to face external challenges, but also guard against stabbing in the back by "our own people"!

In such an environment, eight of the top ten were eliminated!

And the first and fourth places are also very difficult to defend, and it is not an exaggeration to say that their vitality has been greatly injured. If they hadn't had a deep background and bought the equipment of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce at a critical juncture, they might have been besieged by other countries. Lethal!

I have to say that the kingdoms of this ranking battle are too united!

There have been almost no collaborations before, and the only few times they have been stabbed without exception.

If there are any positive examples of cooperation, there are, such as the alliance formed by their top ten kingdoms.

But there is only one thing in their cooperation, that is, not to attack each other, that's all.

But in this ranking competition, the situation is different. Those kingdoms that purchased the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, especially the kingdoms that have obtained star members, they call themselves the Hongye faction, and regard the king who has also obtained star members as their own.

Since it's our own, let's cooperate!

Therefore, when these "insiders" unite, these top ten kingdoms can't stand it anymore.

In the end, among the top ten, only the first and fourth places persisted to the end.

Among them, the first place relied on its deep foundation to persevere, while the fourth place was much smarter. If you can't beat them, then join them!

After paying a sky-high order to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, the fourth Kingdom got a star member badge as he wished. From now on, he is also "one of his own"!

Seeing this, the other kingdoms were a little upset, but they agreed not to attack their own people, so they had no choice but to give up attacking the fourth place.

Of course, after all, there are only ten positions in the top ten, not counting the first, fourth, and the original tenth, and now the third place outside the Kingdom of Hobro, there are only seven positions left.

As a result, some countries merged to form a republic, drawing an imperfect end to this ranking battle.

"This result is not bad."

White nodded with satisfaction.

So many people died, he didn't seem to care at all.

After all, his purpose is to consume part of the population.

"By the way, father, what do you think of the steam car I gave you?"

Dean asked suddenly.

He bought a lot of things from the Red Leaf Merchant Guild, including a lot of steam cars, including a particularly gorgeous steam car that he specially customized for White.

"Haha, that thing is quite interesting!"

Speaking of steam cars, White showed interest on his face, as if seeing a big toy.

Although this thing is much weaker than their flying wolves in terms of maneuverability and combat effectiveness, but it can be bought with gold coins, which is an advantage. After all, their flying wolves are very precious.

"We can buy more, which can be equipped for ordinary soldiers, and can increase the speed of travel to a certain extent."

said Dean.

"Well, you can look at it and buy it, but you don't want to imitate some?"

White looked at Dean with interest.

"This...to tell you the truth, I have tried it, but...it cannot be imitated!"

Dean shook his head with a wry smile.

"Oh? What's the problem?"

White asked curiously.

"The main problem is something called a 'spring' in the steam car. This thing looks very simple, but our blacksmiths can't make it anyway. At most, it just looks like it, but the actual effect is far worse. ...It is estimated that this is also the reason why the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce can safely sell the steam car, just like our secret stone equipment, it is not afraid of imitation at all..."

Dean said helplessly.

"This is also normal. After all, those who come out to do business will definitely have one or two unique skills. But it's just a steam car, just buy it, we are not short of this money."

White nodded, and then said domineeringly.

"Father, I always think that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is not that simple. There is definitely a huge force behind them, not even weaker than our Sirius Empire. For example, these steam cars seem simple, but this small spring We can't imitate it..."

Now that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was mentioned, Dean brought up the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce again.

Since he came back last time, although Dean has not contacted the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce again, he knows from the mouth of the big businessman Zhang Feng that this Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is definitely not simple, and there is definitely a huge hidden force behind them!

But when he told his father about these inferences, his father looked at him like a fool.

Dean knew that his father still didn't believe it, but he saw it with his own eyes. If there was no power behind this mysterious Red Leaf Merchant Guild, he wouldn't believe it even to death.

Moreover, Zhang Feng vaguely said that he was doing business in other places, and he came to the Beastman Continent not long ago. This evidence is not obvious enough!

However, his father, Emperor White of the Sirius Empire, still shook his head with a smile.

"Dean, I believe you said that there is power behind the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, but I don't believe that you say that the power behind him is comparable to our Sirius Empire, or even stronger than the Sirius Empire. This is not arrogance. Wait for you to take over my After the position, you will understand."

White looked at Dean with a smile and said, facing Dean who had been trying to convince himself, he didn't show any signs of anger.

Because many years ago, he did the same to his father. His father told him that this world is very big, but to the Sirius Empire, it is very small.

He didn't believe it, and he didn't know it was true until he inherited the emperor's throne.

"Okay, the ranking battle is almost over, shall we send out the rewards?"

Seeing that he could not convince his father to attach importance to the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, Dean could only give up for the time being and had to discuss the business.

"Well, this year's rewards will be distributed by you. Can you complete the task?"

King White looked at Dean and asked.

"Father, don't worry, of course there is no problem!"

Dean was a little excited. The emperor had always been qualified to issue rewards. Now that his father let him go, the purpose was self-evident.

"Well, then—"

"Report! Your Majesty, report urgently!"

Before White could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the voice of the messenger soldier outside.

This tea room was White's private resting place, and most ministers would not dare to disturb it at will, but this time it was broken into by messenger soldiers, which shows that it is a bit unusual.

White frowned and said:

"Come in and talk."

Dean was a little curious. Obviously, this is a big event that needs to meet the emperor directly! Could it be that something happened to the ranking battle?

Wearing a gold-patterned secret stone armor, a dusty-looking Sirius orc strode in, and Dean vaguely heard the low growl of a flying wolf.

Dean's eyes froze immediately. The Flying Wolf Riding Messenger is the highest-level messenger of their Sirius Empire!

Things seemed to be more serious than he imagined!

"Say."

White didn't have any nonsense either.

"Report to Your Majesty, something has happened in the East China Sea..."

As soon as the word Donghai was mentioned, Dean found that the temperature in the room seemed to be a few degrees lower.

"Dean, it seems that you don't have to wait for later, you can know some things..."

...

Red Leaf City.

"Zhang Feng, I really like it! Wood!"

Zhang Xiaotang gnawed on Zhang Feng while holding Zhang Feng in his arms.

"Okay, okay, it's all saliva!"

Zhang Feng pretended to be disgusted, wiped his face, and took Zhang Xiaotang off his body.

At this time, next to Zhang Xiaotang was a set of exquisite gold armor 2.0, which Zhang Feng made for her overnight.

"hey-hey!"

Zhang Xiaotang let go of Zhang Feng naively, so he had time to study the new armor.

Haven't watched it yet, so you just say you like it? Zhang Feng always felt that she had taken advantage of her, but suffered from lack of evidence.

Zhang Xiaotang put on the golden battle armor in three strokes, and then posed a few poses in front of him.

"Zhang Feng, do you look good?"

"Looking... No, it's not for looking good. How about practicality?"

Zhang Feng knocked her.

"Oh."

Zhang Xiaotang rolled his eyes.

Then experimented.

"The improvement is basically at least five times higher!"

After the exercise, Zhang Xiaotang said with a look of surprise.

Although she already knew about this set of golden armor, after experiencing it for herself, she still couldn't believe it.

After all, she is different from Abe, she is much better than Abe!

Abe's fighting power in the golden armor is almost catching up with her, so can she swing wrists with Hill when she wears the golden armor?

"Then basically there is no problem, it is the consumption..."

Looking at Zhang Xiaotang's neckline, Zhang Feng felt a toothache.

The energy in the armor is fixed, but Zhang Xiaotang is powerful, and the boost for her consumes much more energy than the boost for Abe.

This simple experiment consumes one scale of energy, and it may be gone after one or two high-intensity battles.

Zhang Feng originally thought that if Hill or Nora were given this set of armor to wear, wouldn't they be invincible?

But now it seems that the 300-scale energy of this set of armor is still far from enough! Maybe on Hill, he would be gone with one move, not to mention Nora who is stronger than her...

But no matter what, the practicality of this golden battle armor is quite high. Apart from this problem, the only shortcoming is the problem of energy replenishment, which can only be replenished by Bernice for the time being, although the energy is exhausted for her. It's not too big, but it's a little inconvenient after all. It would be great if I could find an easier way...

"Owner!"

At this time, Windsor trotted and appeared in front of Zhang Feng.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the happy face of Windsor, Zhang Feng knew it must be a good thing.

"That kind of deep-sea fish is the deep-sea fish we eat in the Beastman Continent. It also appeared in Yunhai City. There are a lot of them! I heard that our Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce bought them. Now many fishermen have gone to catch them, and some of them are already on the way back. Yes, we have deep-sea fish to eat again!"

When it comes to eating, the cat's ears are almost drooling.

She still can't forget the deliciousness of deep-sea fish. Last time, because of the banquet for Dean, she ate too much and didn't bring much back. After eating two meals, she was gone.

Windsor thought that he would not be able to eat it in the future, but he didn't expect those deep-sea fish to appear in the shallow sea near Yunhai City!

"Deep-sea fish...a lot..."

Zhang Feng frowned, he always felt that something was not quite right.
