Nabik really couldn't think of any area around Sort City for commercial routes, so he had to worry and asked with a frown:

"To be honest, Mr. Reus, your proposal really surprised me... but for my stupidity, I filtered almost all possible towns in my mind, and still didn't think of any town for us to open up commercial routes. Let's not joke, let's talk about the price of treasure chests blessed by the beast god? What do you think?"

Nabik carefully considered his words and said carefully, for fear of angering the young man in front of him. Although he knew that Gu Cheng was a not simple person, in addition to his identity, he was also a big customer of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. You must know that even the Blacksmith Association could not do it at one time to get so many treasure chests blessed by the Beast God.

Gu Cheng smiled faintly and said, "No hurry, let alone you can't make decisions about this matter. It's useless to tell you the specific situation. Arrange me to meet President Gray, whether it's for the treasure chests blessed by the beast gods, or this commercial route..."

Nabik thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll make arrangements now."

In fact, Nabik had somehow felt that he believed that the business route that Gu Cheng said was true. He didn't know why he had such a special sense of trust in Gu Cheng. Is it just because he could take out the treasure chest that he was blessed by the beast god that he could not see at all? But no matter what, it seems that the "small moves" he made behind his back were very satisfied with the young gentleman, because whether it was the treasure chest that was blessed by the beast god or the business route, since he found himself first, he obviously wanted the Chamber of Commerce Alliance to "attention" him and pushed him in disguise.

Thinking of this, Nabik made no hesitation about Gu Cheng meeting President Gray.

"A secret passage to the land of sinking!!" President Gray said in shock. His hand holding the tea couldn't help but shake, and even the tea splashed on the table, which showed his surprise. And opposite him, Gu Cheng still looked calm, as if they were not talking about a business road that affected Sort City and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but was just chatting about family matters.

"This secret passage was originally a passage for escape after defeat when the dark source camp fought against the light source camp thousands of years ago. Because of the age, almost no one except those older generations of the Dark Source camp knew about this passage. These people undoubtedly held an important position in the dark source camp and would definitely not make the scandal of fleeing to the world. Therefore, even the people in the dark source camp rarely know this secret passage. We can use this secret passage to establish a trade route with the dungeon of the Land of Desolation. I believe President Gray also understands, and must know what the land of Desolation is famous, right?"

A land of sinking!

When it comes to this name, almost everyone who has been to the Dark Source Clan knows that this is one of the three major mineral resources of the Dark Source Clan. Although the mineral species are not as rich as the first two major mineral resources, the Land of Sinking also has its advantages. The biggest advantage is that the output of level 1 and 2 ores is three times the total amount of the other two places! These low-level ores happen to be the basic materials for building primary armor, so almost all the underground cities in the Land of Sinking are rich by these ores. This is also why the Normogen Institute "blocked" a piece of ore veins in Heishui City, which made Heishui City in a mess!

Because of the cold geology of the sinking land, it lacks resources such as animal fur, and these things are not valuable to the surface world. So if you can establish a commercial route with Heishui City in the sinking land, then using fur for ore, or exchanging food and medicinal materials from both places, it will be a huge asset for the Chamber of Commerce Alliance or Heishui City!

It may even change the pattern of the Durotan Chamber of Commerce and Alliance in the west in one fell swoop!

Therefore, after getting this news, it can be seen how much shock it would be for Gray, but he became worried about gains and losses. There is no free lunch in the world. Gu Cheng is not a fool, so he would hand it over to him so easily? It is said that the strength of Dutan City's Chamber of Commerce Alliance is more powerful than the Chamber of Commerce Alliance branch of Sot City. If it were just because of the verbal promises of the treasure chest blessed by the Beast God, as a businessman, he would never believe it!

"But... please forgive me for being rude. Why did Mr. Reus think of our branch? I'm not afraid of you to make a joke. Just as the pattern of the Western Chamber of Commerce Alliance of the Principality of Durotan, we are currently at the bottom. I'm not unmoved by your conditions. To be honest, I almost nodded when I heard you say this. But to be honest, I think... I really can't afford such a heavy task."

Gu Cheng felt a little funny. Merchants are always merchants and will never forget to maximize their own interests. On the surface, Gray is showing weakness, but in fact everyone knows that unless this secret passage is closer to the chamber of commerce alliance in other cities, the principle of proximity is the wisest choice. Otherwise, if the chamber of commerce in the middle of the road appears this passage after establishing a commercial route, they would not try every means to participate?

With the character of the elder Fox of the Grey, how could he not guess this meaning? The reason why he said this was, first, to explore Gu Cheng's reality and second, to show that his "enemy" was weak, first, to say that his strength was not very good, and when he really cooperated with Gu Cheng, he also had the "bargaining chips" to bargain.

Of course, Gu Cheng will definitely not take his tricks!

"I can understand your mood. Mr. Nabik." Gu Cheng smiled faintly: "After the first two cooperations, I think you are my most suitable partner. You said that the strength of the Sort City Chamber of Commerce Alliance is not as strong as other cities? The roads are all made by people themselves. I believe that if we cooperate, we can get a very ideal result. As long as we build this commercial route, the more other cities are just around the corner!"

"Thanks to Mr. Reus, our branch will naturally not disappoint you! Then Mr. Reus's initial trade goal is Blackwater City in the Land of Destruction? As far as I know, the three major cities in the Land of Destruction are mainly Black Iron City, and Black Iron City is named after it. Magic Iron and Essential Iron are mainly Magic Iron City, and the ore production of Blackwater City is ranked at the end of the three cities. If we open up the commercial route with the Land of Destruction, why not choose the first two cities as the trade target?"

It has to be said that as a branch president, Gray has a unique vision and immediately puts the topic to a critical position. If Gu Cheng gives up choosing a better trade goal and settles on the second best, then there is something tricky about it. Either he reached an agreement with Hei Shui City to get some benefits from it. Either he celebrates some holidays with the other two cities, so that he can give up these two cities. If both sides want to cooperate, these issues will have to be clarified.

Gu Cheng had already thought of the words, so he would not be stumped by the problem of Gray.

"I'm not saying that our transactions with the Land of Desolation are limited to Blackwater City. Other cities are also within our transaction scope, but the price is just......" Gu Cheng gave Gray a "you know" look, and then continued: "First, because I am friends with the Dark Elf Queen of Blackwater City, she can give us certain discounts and privileges. I believe Mr. Gray understands what this means! Secondly, in addition to Blackwater City, our main partners have another emerging dungeon. Although this dungeon is not as powerful as the other three cities, you understand that what we are interested in is not the current strength, but its investment value. I can guarantee that this dungeon can break the pattern of the Land of Desolation in less than a year!"

The messages Gu Cheng threw were more shocking than the other. Whether it was Gray, his assistant, or Nabik, he could stuff a few eggs into his mouth in surprise at this moment.

The Dark Elves Queen of Blackwater City, Identity and the Consul of Sort City are two different concepts!

The former is dictatorship, and any issues can be decided by themselves. If the latter wants to make a crucial decision, they must submit the "plan" layer by layer to the royal city of Durotan, and only after approval can they start to take action. Otherwise, the principality will consider it to have independent thinking and will immediately send someone to replace the position of the consul.

So if Gu Cheng is the "friend" of the Dark Elf Queen, no matter how heavy the friend is, it will have a crucial impact on the trade between the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and the Hei Shui City!

But before Gray and his men recovered from surprise, Gu Cheng threw another bombshell.

"As for the specific cooperation matters, let this auxiliary administrator of Blackwater City, Miss Nasica, explain in detail!"

"Auxiliary!?" Gray then noticed Nasica who had been standing behind Gu Cheng. Although he had looked at Nasica when Gu Cheng and Nasica had just entered the conference room, he saw that the other party had been standing behind Gu Cheng very well and subconsciously treated her as a maid. Unexpectedly, the other party was actually the auxiliary party in Hei Shui City, and he was immediately surprised.

Gu Cheng believed that he was not the leading protagonist in yy novels, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, eighteen martial arts, business, and politics. He knew how much he was. He could not catch up with Nasica in business negotiations and diplomacy, so he would use his full potential and use his talents to launch Nasica to "negotiate" with President Gray.

Nasica did not disappoint Gu Cheng. In the subsequent negotiations, she changed her previous quiet temperament and "turned into" a strong woman. Whether it was momentum or words, she even overwhelmed President Gray's limelight. After a negotiation, the handkerchief that President Gray used to wipe the sweat on her forehead could even twist a basin of water.

Finally, the two sides finally reached a consensus on the construction of the commercial route and subsequent cooperation. Of course, this is also because Nasica felt that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance really had nothing to squeeze them out.

After the negotiations, Gu Cheng asked Gray to prepare and ten days later he would take the first batch of scouting personnel from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance to the land of sinking. As for opening up the business road, Gu Cheng also gave Gray a "discount" and handed over to Hei Shui City to take responsibility. However, if Gray knew that he had originally thought he had taken a great advantage, he would have been solved by Gu Cheng and a few others long ago, and he did not need to pay any manpower and material resources. I wonder if he would immediately vomit three liters of blood and die!

In this way, after solving the problem of cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, Gu Cheng took Sali and Nasica farewell to the mercenary group in the name of doing tasks and went to Thorn Village.

Since Gu Chengqing seized the werewolves in Jingthorn Village, the number of werewolves has dropped a lot. The remnants returned in a desperate attack several times, and the village gradually settled down. When Gu Cheng and the other two came to the canyon passage in front of Jingthorn Village, they were stunned when they saw the "scenery" outside Jingthorn Village.

The village gates of Jingthorn Village were no longer closed and were heavily guarded as before. Except for the few patrol personnel on the two observation decks, the villagers who were supposed to be alerters were planting wasteland melons on the stone walls on both sides of the village. The most important thing is that the gates of the village were open, as if they did not seem to have entered the wild beasts climbing the wasteland.

Seeing Gu Cheng and the other two coming from afar, the villagers stopped their actions and began to see whether Gu Cheng and the other two were travelers or mercenaries. But when they saw Gu Cheng clearly, they suddenly became boiling and a large number of villagers rushed over.

"My Lord is above! It's Lord Reus!"

"Oh! Lord Reus is here!"

"Go and notify the village chief! Lord Reus is here!"

The villagers' enthusiasm was so scared that Sali subconsciously hid behind Gu Cheng. Nasica next to her was also stunned. The three of them were invited into the village like stars by the villagers. Each household took out the "treasures" from their homes to enter the village. Although the food was not very good, it was the other party's wish after all, and Gu Cheng and the other two did not refuse them all.

After meeting the old village chief, Gu Cheng introduced Nasica as a "god servant" to the village chief, and then told the other party about his future intentions. Jingthorn Village had already tried to get out of the wasteland many years ago, but because of repeated failures, they gave up this plan. So when they learned that Gu Cheng was willing to help them, the old village chief was so happy that he almost laughed. As for helping build a city, it was no problem!

joke!

Being able to get rid of the harsh living environment, have food and accommodation, but it’s not like the wasteland melons and thatched houses, so a fool wouldn’t do it! After getting the approval of the village chief, Gu Cheng immediately received a systematic prompt:

[Recruitment - Thorn Village...]

Name: Thorn Village

Scale: Micro

City Lord: Gu Cheng

Level:o

Reputation: A drop in the ocean

Building: Watchtower x2; City gate x1, City wall x1;

Population: 3876

Faith reputation: worship 13ooo/24ooo

………

Gu Cheng didn't expect that a village as small as Jingthorn Village had a population of 3,876. But this is not a bad thing. At least the total population of his territory has exceeded 4ooo, and he is no longer a "bare commander".

After obtaining the territorial rights of Thorn Village, Gu Cheng began to prepare for the construction of the teleportation array. He took out the materials purchased by the auction house and the materials provided by Natasha for him to build the cross-border teleportation array. Nasica quickly completed the construction of the cross-border teleportation array.
