Chapter 144
144 An invitation
The next day.
In the morning.
Jiang Li went to bed late last night, so he woke up early. He changed his clothes, pushed open the door, and walked out of his bedroom. Du Xiaohua had been waiting for him.
“Young master.”
Du Xiaohua bowed to Jiang Li.
“Yes.”
okay. Jiang Li nodded. The skinny little girl had become chubbier during this time.
Her originally sallow face had also become chubbier. She wasn’t tall, so she looked petite and dainty. She wore a light yellow pleated dress and her hair was tied into two buns. She looked cute and playful.
“......”
Du Xiaohua lowered her head, her cheeks slightly pink.
“Is breakfast ready?”
Jiang Li asked.
yes, young master. It’s all ready. The toiletries are also ready.
Du Xiaohua immediately said.
“Let’s go,” he said.
Jiang Li waved his hand.
“Yes, young master.”
Du Xiaohua quickly nodded.
After breakfast.
Jiang Li told Xu Ya and the others to prepare the silver and gold as soon as possible and put them on the large military transport truck for tonight’s deal.
From the four great demon cities.
Jiang Li had collected 540 million taels of silver and 52 million taels of gold in total. A large military truck could carry 10 million taels of gold or silver.
In other words ...
540 million taels of silver and 52 million taels of gold. Just this amount of silver alone was enough to fill up nearly sixty large military transport trucks.
Shua!
Jiang Li opened the Dominator panel.
Soul Tinder.
There were still nine level-one soul Tinders and fifteen level-two soul Tinders left.
fuse the second-stage soul Tinder.
jiang li took a deep breath. he still couldn’t help but start the soul tinder fusion function and fuse the ten level-two soul tinders.
Even though ...
jiang li kept reminding himself that he was extremely lucky last time. this time, the fusion would definitely fail.
Instead of wasting ten Stage 2 soul Tinders, it was better to save them to upgrade a few Stage 2 troops, such as upgrading all the Stage 1 elite troops to Stage 2.
but ...
Jiang Li still couldn’t help but try his luck.
Perhaps he would succeed?
If he succeeded, he would earn a lot.
Buzzzzzz!
The fusion interface appeared.
Ten pitch-black soul Tinders were lined up in a row, shining with a pure black light. Then, they gradually gathered in the center and gathered.
fusion begins. Countdown: 10,9,8,7 ”
“Whoosh!!!”
The countdown ended.
Within the interface.
A dark light bloomed. It was so strong that it seemed to swallow all the light and Jiang Li’s face was dark.
[ fusion failed! ]
Four big red words appeared.
“this bi an ...”
I know. Jiang Li’s mouth twitched. He closed the fusion interface and covered his forehead. He murmured, ” I knew it. I knew it, Qianqian.
ten level-two soul Tinders are gone, just like that.
Jiang Li sighed. if it’s used to upgrade to a level one elite troop, I can upgrade five of them.
“But I don’t have that many elite units to upgrade.”
“I’m still too greedy.”
...
No. Jiang Li shook his head. it’s a failure. This failure is a stepping stone for future success. Failure is the mother of success.
besides, aren’t there still five level-two soul Tinders left? ”
Jiang Li comforted himself.
“Upgrade two spear meches.”
let’s go. Jiang Li called the spear meches over and used four level-two soul Tinders and 400 energy points to upgrade two spear meches to level two.
“Whoosh!!!”
With the level-two soul Tinder and energy points, the two spear-wielding meches were upgraded. Their bodies glowed with light.
A few seconds later.
The promotion was completed.
The two spear meches were both upgraded to the early stage of level two and became level two troops.
“Continue to level up.”
...
Jiang Li used 56000 energy points to upgrade the two spear meches to the perfected stage of level two. As a result, all of Jiang Li’s level-one elite troops had been upgraded to the perfected stage of level two.
It included JC01, GJS01, CQ01, CQ02, and CQ03.
There were a total of five.
The number of cold weapon meches was reduced by two, and it became 3298.
There were two more level two meches.
It became 10007th.
make two cold weapon meches.
Jiang Li used 20 energy points to get two cold weapon meches.
buzzzzzz!
The manufacturing interface appeared.
Creating troops.
A minute later.
[creation complete!]
Shua!
Two cold weapon meches appeared in front of Jiang Li and saluted him. “Greetings, chief sovereign!”
“Yes.”
” yes. ” jiang li nodded. ” upgrade two cold weapon meches. ”
Shua! Shua!
He used 280 energy points to upgrade the two cold weapon meches to the perfected stage of level one. The number of cold weapon meches increased to 3300.
After the consumption just now.
Jiang Li only had one level-two soul Tinder left, and his energy points had decreased to 359800.
I’ve prepared everything I need to do. Now, I’m just waiting for night to come. I’ll go to Qingshan Valley and trade with the half-monster Alliance again.
the half-monster Alliance is very powerful, ” Jiang Li said. if there’s no other problem, it’s indeed a good place for a long-term deal.
“However, I have a feeling that things won’t go as smoothly as I expected.”
Jiang Li had a lot of things to do recently, so he hadn’t settled the rewards for the last defense Battle and the compensation for the deceased.
Jiang Li took advantage of the time now and asked Hong Tianqi to bring over the list of military merits and the names of the deceased. He would give them different rewards and pensions according to the merits recorded on it.
Merit points could be exchanged for contribution points, which could then be used to exchange for items in the contribution Pavilion. As long as one had enough contribution points, they could even exchange for rank two cultivation techniques.
if you don’t want contribution points, you can exchange them for silver.
After distributing the rewards and pension.
Taking everything into account.
He had only spent twenty million taels of silver.
For Jiang Li.
It could only be considered a drop in the ocean.
Furthermore ...
Jiang Li had increased the reward on purpose.
Of course.
Cultivation methods and martial arts techniques were not included.
If one killed more than ten demon soldiers, they would be rewarded with a cultivation technique or martial arts technique.
Time passed.
At noon.
jiang li finally finished his work.
“City Lord,”
Jiang Li hadn’t rested for half an hour when han Liqi rushed over and reported to Jiang Li. a Messenger from the Black Dragon County has come. He said that the new county King has sent an invitation to invite you to attend a banquet in the county capital of the Black Dragon County.
“The new Junwang.”
huh? ” Jiang Li was surprised. where’s the messenger from the Black Dragon County? where’s the invitation? ”
“He’s at the county office.”
“He said that he has to personally hand the invitation to you,” han Liqi said.
“Oh.”
let’s go. Jiang Li stood up. let’s go meet him.
“Yes.”
Han Liqi nodded. He thought for a while and suddenly said, ” city Lord, I heard that the new Commandery Prince is the third Prince, Qian Shixi.
” qian shixi, the third prince you recommended to me last time? ”
Jiang Li stopped.
“Yes, I am.”
Han Liqi nodded. I was not clear about your true abilities in the past. That’s why I said those things. I hope that you can forgive me.
on the surface, Qian Shixi doesn’t seem to get along well with King Qian. In fact, they are life-and-death friends and King Qian’s confidant.
“Han Liqi,”
I’m surprised. Jiang Li suddenly smiled and looked at han Liqi. if I remember correctly, you’re just a small county Lord. I didn’t expect you to know so many secrets.
“This subordinate had inadvertently heard about this in the capital.”
Han Liqi explained.
“Hehe.”
Jiang Li smiled but didn’t say anything.
Ten minutes later.
At the county office.
In the reception hall.
jiang li and han liqi pushed the door open and walked in. han liqi deliberately walked half a step behind to show his respect. in the reception hall, a young man with a thin face was sitting.
“County Magistrate han.”
The young man stood up with a saber at his waist. He had an imposing appearance and extremely heavy inner force. His palms were wide and his face was ashen.
“You must be city Lord Jiang.”
The young man looked at Jiang Li. When he saw that han Liqi was walking half a step behind Jiang Li, he smiled and saluted Jiang Li. “I’m tie Changdao. I’ve come to the great Xia city to deliver the invitation under the orders of the new regional King.”
“city lord jiang, please.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Tie Changdao took out an invitation card from his chest. It was red and looked extremely festive. The words ‘invitation card’ were written in gold on it.
Wang Gang walked out from behind Jiang Li and reached for the invitation in tie Changdao’s hand. Tie Changdao let go of the invitation and it fell into Wang Gang’s hand.
After making sure there was no problem with the invitation, Wang Gang gave it to Jiang Li.
“Yes.”
jiang li took it and opened the invitation. I’m acting on King Qian’s order and King Qian thinks highly of me. He appointed me as the Commandery Prince of Black Dragon County. As I’m new here, I’m not familiar with the details of Black Dragon County. I’ll hold a banquet at noon tomorrow and invite the five city Lords to attend. I hope you can arrive on time to discuss many matters in Black Dragon County. To the city Lord of great Xia city, Jiang Li.
the invitation has been delivered. The Riverview city Lord has arrived on time. I shall take my leave.
Tie Changdao cupped his hands and said.
“Alright,” he said.
I’ll be there. Jiang Li closed the invitation. I’ll be there.
“I will definitely pass on city Lord Jiang’s words to the regional King.”
“I’m sure the regional King will be very happy to hear this,” tie Changdao said.
“I also hope so.”
jiang li stepped aside.
“......”
Tie Changdao lowered his head slightly and quickly passed by Jiang Li. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He quickened his pace and left the county government office in the blink of an eye.
“Hu ~~ Hu ~ Hu ~”
After they left the county office.
Tie Changdao heaved a sigh of relief. With a lingering fear on his face, he muttered to himself, the people around Jiang Li are really terrifying. Although I can’t feel any internal force or blood from them, they make me feel cold.
“You must know that my cultivation has already reached the late stage of the second rank.”
especially the last one in black leather armor. He makes me shudder.
“Hurry back to the county city and report this matter to the regional King.”
Tie Changdao quickly left the city and rode on his horned scale horse. we can’t underestimate Jiang Li. He’s able to take care of Red Dragon and the demon Army of Red Dragon County. He’s definitely not a simple person. He’s not as easy to deal with as we thought.
