The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

The heavy number hit his heart hard. Robert Smith bluffed a few times, but he couldn't say a word in the end.

Need at least 50 tons of grain?Not to mention 50 tons, according to the current situation of the empire, he can't even squeeze out [-] tons of grain.

After a long silence, his slightly hoarse voice sounded slowly.

"You go back first."

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

The minister quickly left the palace, outside, his own car was already waiting there.

When the driver saw him coming out, he got out of the car and reached out to take the briefcase from the minister.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the minister's hand suddenly paused.

"you are?"

"Master, my name is Kevin, and I'm Hank's cousin. His cousin is sick today, so I will drive for him for the time being."

"Kevin..."

He murmured the name softly, and the minister did have a little impression of this name. His driver, Hank, seemed to have a cousin named Kevin.

However, after thinking about it, the minister did not hand over the briefcase in his hand to Kevin in the end.

After getting in the car, the car started slowly and drove towards the minister's mansion in an orderly manner.

Along the way, it can be said that there is nothing wrong with each other.

Back at the mansion, looking at the old butler who came out to greet him, the minister walked towards the house and asked casually...

"Hank, is he sick today?"

"Yes sir, Hank had a high fever last night, so he asked his cousin Kevin to drive for him temporarily."

"yes."

The minister nodded casually after getting a clear answer, and quickly put the little episode behind him, then walked all the way to his study, and signaled the old housekeeper to help him make a pot of coffee and bring it in.

Next, he was obviously busy.

At the same time, on the other side, Kevin, who parked the car unhurriedly, had a meaningful smile on his face. Of course, this hidden smile quickly disappeared the moment he got off the car. In an instant, he regained his honest and honest appearance...

Chapter 1388, New Armor

As the night darkened, the lights in the mansion gradually went out. A figure in black tights quickly started to move through the night. He stepped lightly on the aisle of the corridor, but basically did not make any sound, maintaining a fairly The efficiency is close to the study of the owner of this mansion.

Quickly checking the left and right, the figure carefully put his hand on the handle of the door lock in the study, slowly exerting force, the handle of the door lock began to rotate slowly, and then there was a soft 'click' , so that he clearly realized that the door of this study room was locked.

This expected situation didn't make him panic. He only needed a small prop, and within a few seconds, this kind of door lock was easily opened by him.

Afterwards, the whole person quickly flashed in through the gap in the door and closed it again. It even took a few more seconds to restore him to the locked state.

He didn't turn on the light, and the small flashlight he carried with him was his only light source at present.

His eyes were directly locked on the desk, and after neatly unlocking the small locks of several desk drawers, he quickly found the document.

Opening the document, it was written in dense Europa language, but this did not make him dyslexic.

He quickly read the contents of the file, and then memorized all the contents in his mind.

And at this moment, the sound of footsteps coming from a distance made his hands pause, and his first reaction was to turn off the flashlight directly.

The pitch-dark environment didn't seem to affect his movements.

The sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door was getting closer, and within a few seconds, the handle of the door lock was obviously turned by someone, but in the locked state, the other party obviously couldn't get in.

But this didn't make him breathe a sigh of relief, and soon, the sound of the key being inserted into the lock reached his ears.

In the next second, someone opened the closed door of the study room, and with a 'click' sound, the light switch was pressed, instantly lighting up the entire study room.

The minister glanced quickly, looking at the empty study room, and walked to the desk at a leisurely pace.

Probably because the pressure on his body is too great recently, which made him often suffer from insomnia recently, and then an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart made him unable to resist coming to the study.

Putting his hand on the desk drawer, he failed to pull the drawer out with a slight force, which meant that the lock on the drawer was still intact, and the lock on the study door was also the same, which made the minister obviously relieved. It's because I feel a little nervous recently.

After checking and confirming that there was nothing abnormal, the relieved minister felt that he could finally go back and sleep well.

At the same time, in Mingjing City, on this day, Luo Ji was trying on the latest research results of the Ordnance Research Department, which was the armor made from the outer armor of the Iron Armored Beast.

But to be honest, this thing is really too hard. Even the dwarf craftsmen who have racial talent bonuses have spent several years of research, coupled with the power of nine bulls and two tigers, to finally be able to use it to a certain extent. , Adjust and forge the outer armor of the armored beast.

The armor that Luo Ji is wearing now is the result.

To be honest, from the appearance point of view, it looks like a street stall.

Although compared with the armor of the orcs, it is at least ten times better in craftsmanship, but if it is calculated according to the standards and requirements of their Myriad Realms civilization on armor, it can only be described as 'rough'.

Even a dwarf craftsman cannot change this armor into any shape at will.

Therefore, Luo Ji wearing this suit of armor can clearly feel that some parts will be 'stuck' when performing activities. At the same time, some structures will poke him, and the wearing comfort is basically zero. .

Of course, even so, they couldn't deny the biggest advantage of this armor, which was that it was too tyrannical to have a friend's defensive ability.

As long as you wear this armor, you can basically ignore the bullets flying randomly on the battlefield to a large extent, and you can also resist the attacks of grenades.

Although the bulletproof alloy forged by the dwarf craftsmen can also do this, it is undeniable that this thing is much lighter than the bulletproof alloy.

As for being able to withstand even high-explosive bombardment...

Seriously, don't get your hopes up.

Facing the shelling of high-explosive shells, even if the armor is fine, the powerful impact at that moment is enough to kill the wearer of the armor.

"Is this the only thing that can be done at present?"

Asking Wang Kai and Luo Yunxi to help him take off the armor, Luo Ji couldn't help stretching his muscles.

As the highest person in charge of this project, Bart Wildhammer expressed helplessly...

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is already the limit. There may be a better way for the enemy orcs, but we don't know."

Obviously, as a dwarf with extremely high requirements in forging, Bart Wildhammer was not very satisfied with this, but at the same time, he was more helpless.

Regarding this, Luo Ji spoke slowly after pondering for a while...

"Then let's do this for the time being. According to this way, start the manufacture of new armors. I will ask someone to send the rest of the armored beast armor to you. You can calculate how many sets of armors you can make. Then write a report."

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

In fact, Luo Ji still had quite a few armored armored beasts in his hands. Most of them were naturally taken from the orc captives and corpses, while the other part came from the three iron armored beasts that they killed. corpse.

Although the outer armor was severely damaged by Ysera's dragon's breath attack, there are quite a few intact parts. After some treatment, there are still many usable parts.

After receiving Luo Ji's order, the efficiency of each department was quickly demonstrated, and the dwarf craftsman also sent a report three days later.

Flipping through the report, Luo Ji was quite satisfied so far. At this moment, a figure walked in quickly...

"Your Majesty, this is the latest news from our spies stationed in the enemy country."

Luo Jin, who had just stabilized the situation in the Southern Empire a few months ago and has just returned to Mingjing City, undoubtedly devoted himself to his busy intelligence work again.

Ike, who was on duty today, quickly took the report from Luo Jin with his short legs, and presented it in front of Luo Ji.

With a flick of his gaze, Luo Ji quickly confirmed the content of the message, and then a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Food crisis? This is really bad..."

Chapter 1389 Ah, this guest~

The passage of time and the gradually rising temperature are reminding everyone that the season is entering summer.

"My lord, the food for civilian use is almost unbearable!"

In order to ensure the combat power of the imperial army, Robert Smith divided the food into military and civilian use. The soldiers in his own army must not be hungry, otherwise how would they fight?

But in this way, the amount of food that the people can distribute will be significantly reduced.

It was mentioned in the previous reports of various departments that the famine will gradually break out until June at most.

Facts have proved that the ministers of his empire still have the ability, at least quite accurate in calculation and judgment.

Now the food is being distributed day by day. At the same time, in order to last for a longer period of time, the distributed food is also diluted again and again. If this continues, it may be no different from drinking water directly.

He now needs at least 50 tons of grain to close the gap!But where would that lead him? !

The bad situation made Robert Smith feel a little irritable.

However, at this moment, there was a sound of 'dididi', which made him feel even more irritable.

Then he subconsciously glanced at the system panel that appeared, it was the notification sound of receiving a message.

To be honest, unless someone can help him solve the domestic famine problem, otherwise, he really has no mood to talk to anyone now.

"Trader?"

Looking at the name that appeared, Robert Smith frowned, and then subconsciously opened the message window...

Trader (stranger) (private chat): Ah, this guest, please allow me to introduce myself first.

Trader (stranger) (private chat): Just like the name, I am a trader, who usually sells some materials or props to earn some meager income.

Robert Smith, who saw the two messages, couldn't help but change his expression slightly, then quickly regained his composure, and signaled the minister standing below to step back first.

Then I quickly sent back a message...

"I've heard of you, a businessman who can trade with various players and even sell supplies without the help of the system. Before that, I always thought it was just a rumor."

That's right, Robert Smith has heard of this merchant, but the existence of the other party is too mysterious, so basically no one knows who this 'trading merchant' is.

But at this moment, the appearance of a trader gave Robert Smith a glimmer of hope!

"Can you really sell anything?"

Faced with this question, the trader on the opposite side quickly sent a reply.

"Any material can be sold? That's not true. It mainly depends on what the customer wants."

Without making any detours, Robert Smith said directly...

"I need food."

"Of course it's no problem. Food resources are one of the main commodities below. So how much food do you need?"

"50 tons!"

"Oh, 50 tons of grain? No problem! As for the price, how about [-] tons of grain and a gold-level item?"

As soon as this news came out, Robert Smith sitting there was startled. At that moment, he was almost about to curse.

Although I have heard that this mysterious trader's price is a little bit dark and he is a profiteer, but this girl is too dark, right?

[-] tons of food, a gold-level item?Is your food studded with diamonds? !

Of course, considering his current situation, coupled with the fact that the other party seems to have a lot of food that he urgently needs, so these words are limited to thinking in his mind.

When it was at hand, the news of Robert Smith going back to the past became like this...

"Your joke is not funny at all!"

"This guest, I'm quite serious about business."

At the end of this message, there was also a 'serious' chat expression, but Robert Smith didn't find it interesting at all.

"[-] tons of food, a gold-level item? It's no exaggeration to say that the price is sky-high!"

"Guest, you have to calculate the cost, and I'm just making a small difference from the middle."

Robert Smith, who saw the news, cursed secretly in his heart on the spot, "I believe you!"

Even if the other party bought the 50 tons of grain from other players, he didn't think the purchase price would be that high.

Still earn a little difference?This way of selling is simply huge profits!

However, is food really worthless?

That depends!

In times of famine, for people who are about to starve to death, a bite of life-saving food is hard to find!

At this time, Robert Smith, although his "empire" has not yet reached the point where he is about to starve to death, is not far behind. The preciousness of food has already far exceeded the value of the food itself, and it has become An important material related to the survival of his empire!

This 50 tons of grain is more precious than gold to the current Robert Smith, that is really not an exaggeration at all!
