sorry i'm the villain

Dragon Claw City.

Zhou Wenyuan was underground, and said to Lin Yu, "When the merchants in Yinguang Lake are doing foreign trade, they will not only sell refined finished instruments and elixirs, but also import a large amount of materials."

"Most of these materials will be uniformly purchased by Dragon Claw City, and then distributed to several major cities for processing and refining."

"According to this trade model, Yinguang Lake's foreign trade has been in a trade surplus for a long time, and it should have accumulated a massive amount of wealth."

He smiled slightly, "But you know, what did I find?"

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, guessing what Zhou Wenyuan meant, "Yinguang Lake doesn't have that much wealth."

"I sneaked into the office hall of the City Lord's Mansion and found out the financial situation of Yinguang Lake." Zhou Wenyuan's face was gloomy, "The inventory of Yinguang Lake's spiritual stones plus the inventory of materials is only worth 170 billion spiritual stones."

"170 billion?"

Lin Yu's first reaction when he heard this sentence was "Is this too much?" He had never seen so many Lingshi in his life!

However, Zhou Wenyuan looked at him with the expression of his hopeless son, "Do you know how much the annual GDP of Yinguang Lake is?"

Lin Yu was dumbfounded.

Zhou Wenyuan stretched out a finger, and said in a deep voice, "1 billion spirit stones!"

Lin Yu was shocked.

Zhou Wenyuan said angrily, "The 9 major cities in Yinguang Lake, the top 3 in terms of GDP are Liuhuo City, Dragon Claw City and Dragon Scale City."

"The average annual production value of Liuhuo City is 50 billion spirit stones, Dragon Claw City's 33 billion spirit stones, and Dragonscale City's 9 million spirit stones."

"These three major cities alone add up to almost 100 billion spirit stones!"

Lin Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Is the 9 big cities in Yinguang Lake still considered Dragonscale City?"

Zhou Wenyuan looked at him quietly, "Isn't it common sense that there are five of the four heavenly kings?"

Lin Yu: Σ(°△°)

You vomited so noisy!

"You young people, the focus of attention is always wrong!" Zhou Wenyuan sighed helplessly, and said seriously, "Dragonscale City really shouldn't be counted in the nine cities of Yinguang Lake, but when calculating the total value of production, Longlin City The city is the representative of all the land-dwelling monster races in Yinguang Lake, so it is counted."

Lin Yu suddenly realized.

No wonder the GDP of Dragonscale City is so high. It turned out that all the land-dwelling monsters in Yinguang Lake were packaged together for settlement!

Also, although Yinguang Lake is dominated by aquatic monsters, the total number of land-dwelling monsters is tens of millions, which is a force that cannot be ignored.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu turned back to the topic, "Yinguang Lake has such a high annual GDP and a trade surplus, so how come there are only 170 billion Lingshi left?"

Seeing that Lin Yu finally came to his senses, Zhou Wenyuan looked relieved, "Yes, when I checked here, I knew that there must be a huge hole inside Yinguang Lake."

"After I checked, I found that this hole is the procurement funds."

Lin Yu blinked, he wanted to say, "Isn't procurement expenditure a serious expenditure? How can it be called a hole?", but he held back.

He didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Zhou Wenyuan said in detail, "The main items of Yinguang Lake's foreign trade are finished magical instruments and elixirs. You have also bought magical instruments and elixir. You should know the cost and selling price of these two commodities, right?"

Lin Yu nodded.

He has dealt with Yu Xianwan before, so he naturally knows.

"The cost of instruments and elixir is generally 20% of the selling price."

"That's right, but this is in our human race." Zhou Wenyuan spread out his palm and stretched out five fingers, "In the monster race, the profits of magical artifacts and elixirs are more than 5%!"

"If the merchants transport it out of Yinguang Lake, the profit will increase by another 50%!"

Lin Yu's face changed slightly, "That means..."

"Yinguang Lake spends at most 20% of the average annual GDP, which is 20 billion yuan!" Zhou Wenyuan sneered, "However, Yinguang Lake spends 30 billion yuan a year on purchases!"

"Where did the remaining 10 billion spirit stones go?"

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, "One billion a year, how many spirit stones do you have for so many years! Is this embezzled by the dragons?"

"It all started eight years ago, and there are a total of 8 billion spirit stones." Zhou Wenyuan first corrected it, and then said, "According to my investigation, these spirit stones are indeed spent on the purchase of materials , but these materials have not passed through the account books of Dragon Claw City."

Lin Yu nodded, "Could it be that the material of these 80 billion spirit stones is Muyuan's secret?"

"That's right." Zhou Wenyuan said slowly, "After I investigated and discovered these materials, I tried every means to track the direction of this batch of materials, and finally found that these materials passed through several warehouses and entered Mu Yuan's hands."

"After so many years, he has accumulated a huge amount of formation materials in his hands."

Lin Yu frowned, and suddenly his face changed slightly, "General, you said before that there is only one safe place in Yinguang Lake. Is it because...Muyuan arranged a magic circle covering the entire Yinguang Lake?"

Zhou Wenyuan nodded, "After I escaped from Dragon Claw City, I visited several cities and found some traces of formations."

A magic circle covering the entire Yinguang Lake?

With a buzzing in Lin Yu's mind, he immediately thought of the blood sacrifice circle that Devouring once set up.

"Could it be that Mu Yuan wants to sacrifice the lives of the entire Yinguang Lake?"

These are billions of lives!

"Is it unbelievable?" Zhou Wenyuan sighed softly, "I couldn't believe it at first, but I carefully checked the traces of the formation in the city and confirmed that it was indeed the blood sacrifice formation!"

Lin Yu shook his head, he still couldn't believe it, "How dare Mu Yuan do this? Isn't he afraid that the demon king of the demon clan will pursue him?"

No matter how many monster races there are, billions is not a small number!

"Pursuant?" Zhou Wenyuan sneered, "It's too late for the Demon King to be happy, how could he pursue it?"

"Mu Yuan sacrificed billions of monsters in the entire Yinguang Lake. Once he succeeds, he is likely to be promoted to Daluo Jinxian."

"The power of the Jiaolong clan even exceeds that of the seven royal clans of the Yaozu. It is only because there is no Daluo Jinxian in charge that they have never been able to become the royal clan of the Yaozu."

"As long as Mu Yuan advances, all the dragons in the world will be headed by him, and the 7 royal families of the monster clan will also become the 8 royal families!"

"The strength of the demon clan has soared, how could the demon king be unhappy?"

Lin Yu had a flash of inspiration, "By the way, wouldn't the Sky Patrol Guard care about such a large-scale blood sacrifice?"

"Of course the patrolling guards will take care of it." Zhou Wenyuan shook his head and sighed softly, "But, as long as Mu Yuan is not offering sacrifices to evil gods, then the patrolling guards will be lenient."

"After all, the Guardians of the Sky also serve the natural creatures."

The corner of Lin Yu's mouth twitched.

It is not a day or two for the natural creatures to want the monster clan to be exterminated.

He sighed softly, "Could it be that we can only watch like this?"

"What do you think Muyuan covered the entire Yinguang Lake's internal and external communications?" Zhou Wenyuan was also helpless.

He also wanted to stop Mu Yuan, but Mu Yuan was too sensitive.

Just as Zhou Wenyuan discovered the clue, Mu Yuan noticed it.Then he directly opened the large formation to cover the communication, cutting off the connection between Zhou Wenyuan and the human race.

He could only hold Lin Yu back, "Now, all we can do is protect our own lives, and the rest can only be resigned to fate!"

It is true that the two of them can only resign themselves to fate, but they are not the only ones who want to stop Mu Yuan!
