Chapter 161 Eating Sweet Food
"Dad, hurry!" Zoe dragged her father.
"Alright, let me pay the entrance fee," Stefan said helplessly.
After paying the money, the guard gave him two bracelets.
"Please wear these at all times."
"What is this?"
"It\'s a purifier; it will ensure that you always stay clean."
"Oh, right," Stefan unconsciously nodded.
"Dad, hurry! What are you doing?" Zoe urged, just outside the city; she was already salivating.
"Hmm, wear these first."
Soon, the two entered.
If outside, they could only smell fragrant aromas, then going inside was like a full-blown banquet.
Strangely, the various smells didn\'t overwhelm them.
Instead, they seemed to calm them down, making them even hungrier.
"What is this?!" Zoe looked at the crystallized chocolate fountain.
Zoe imitated someone and broke the cup-like design, scooping up the brown liquid in the fountain
"So sweet~," Zoe muttered satisfiedly.
"Is it delicious?" the boy she imitated earlier asked.
"It\'s so sweet and delicious!~"
"Try putting this," the boy said, taking out an embedded crystal in the fountain and putting it in the cup of chocolate.
Like magic, the cup of chocolate color seemed to become lighter, emitting steam.
Zoe, like a good student, repeated what the boy did.
"So sweet and creamy~," Zeo seemed like she was dreaming.
"I\'m glad you like it."
"By the way, what\'s your name?" Zeo asked.
"Nathan, and you?"
"I\'m Zoe."
"Hmm, nice name."
"How about I show you around the place?"
"Sure, but my father..." Zoe looked at his father and was speechless.
Her father seemed to be smoking some fragrant tree fruit, shaped like a stick.
"That\'s a Cigarette tree. Although it\'s fragrant, it\'s addicting."
"Oh, I will inform my father first," Zeo said.
"I\'ll wait."
"Dad! I will tour around the place first. Are you alright here?"
"Go on; it seems quite safe here," Stefan nodded, inhaling the cigarette.
It seemed to calm him down.
Furthermore, it was quite a nice appetizer.
"Alright!" Zoe happily ran toward Nathan.
"It\'s your kid?" A chubby man next to Stefan asked.
"That\'s right."
"What a cute kid. You must be new here, right?"
"By the way, I\'m Francis, the grandfather of the one next to your kid."
"That\'s right."
"I heard that there is a Moonlight Academy here, and I was hoping to enroll my kid."
"Then yours must be a talented kid."
"That\'s right!" Stefan smiled proudly.
"Let\'s go; It\'s the kids\' section here."
"I\'ll take you to something more delicious," Francis said, standing up.
"But my kid—"
"Don\'t worry; see whose kids have parents by their side here?"
"This city is specially made for children"
"Its safety index is the best in the empire," Francis said, stroking his belly due to hunger.
"Alright."
"By the way, what food do you particularly like?" Nathan asked.
12:03
"I don\'t know, but I like sweet things."
...
"By the way, what food do you particularly like?" Nathan asked.
"I don\'t know, but I like sweet things."
"Then it\'s not far from here," Nathan said, leading Zoe.
Earlier, Nathan was with his brother Max, and Ella.
However, Ella seemed to like some savory food, so she dragged Max away.
Unfortunately, Nathan liked sweet things, so he didn\'t join in.
With nothing to do, he came to the chocolate fountain to get some drink and then met Zoe.
Seeing that she also liked sweet things, he couldn\'t help but invite her.
Soon, they came to a gigantic tree.
"This is the High Trent Food Source"
"It\'s the appetizer if you like sweet things."
"Wow, it smells so sweet."
Zoe unconsciously broke off a branch and put it in her mouth.
"Huh~"
"So yummy~"
"I could eat this forever~"
Zoe muttered some words and chewed on barks and leaves like a sheep.
"I know, right?" Nathan nodded and also took a leaf, then dipped it into the sap.
"What is that?" Zoe squinted her eyes, seeing Nathan eating differently.
"It\'s the sauce. Without the sap, it would be missing something."
"Why didn\'t you tell me sooner?" Zoe said and followed Nathan\'s movements.
"Wow! It\'s ten times better!"
"It\'s like a dream come true~"
"Is there other delicious food here?"
"Hmm, there\'s still a lot."
"Can you take me around for today?"
"Please~" Zoe pleaded.
"Sure," Nathan unconsciously smiled.
"You\'re finally smiling!"
"I thought you had facial paralysis or something."
Nathan smiled stiffly and returned to his stoic face.
"That again. You should smile more; it\'s more handsome that way!"
-_-
"Do you want to eat other things?"
"Yes!"
"Then stop chattering."
"Yes, sir!"
...
Two months later, in Berrun City:
A large number of unknown ships approached the port.
The city quickly became alert, activating the defense array.
"Don\'t get closer! Identify yourself!" Landon, who was in charge of the city, asked.
Although he was only tier 3, controlling the city\'s formation, he wasn\'t scared unless it was tier 7 or higher.
"We have no malicious intentions."
"We are here for the transaction with your emperor," an envoy said.
"Transaction?"
"Don\'t get closer; wait for confirmation, otherwise there will be consequences," Landon warned.
Maximus gave the command code, to be activated only in desperate times.
As for what it was, Landon didn\'t know.
Landon quickly messaged Maximus and got a reply, saying to wait for him.
...
A while later:
"I\'ve met Your Majesty!" The envoy from the Eryndor Empire greeted.
"At ease; it seems that Eryndor really needs money," Maximus smiled.
Coming here, he examined the ship\'s array and noticed a large number of people with the lowest tier 1 strength.
"Indeed it is your Majesty," the envoy humbly said.
"I guess you already know the routine?"
"Before they arrive in the city, they need to sign a contract."
"It will state that they have to stay here for a hundred years."
"And under no circumstances can they harm anyone in my territory."
"If they have a problem, they can appeal to my court," Maximus stated domineeringly.
"They have already been informed, your Majesty," the envoy said.
Speaking of this, the Eryndor Empire went to great lengths to persuade people to come here.
The greatest incentive, of course, is money; they paid them 10 percent of what Maximus would pay them.
It might seem like a scam, but just ten percent of the money paid by Maximus could already buy ten of them.
The reason why Maximus needed such a middleman instead of paying the money himself is that he can\'t.
Openly soliciting people from other empires might trigger a war.
As for people from various kingdoms who have no strength to fight, it\'s inefficient.
Anyway, it\'s not the main defense; it\'s the tier 8 puppet hidden in 12:09
the dark.
The transportation alone is already an issue.
Cedric is already occupied transporting people from the Sun Sea region alone.
As for consigning to other sea caravans, either they are owned by other empires or are too weak.
"Since they\'re already informed, then it\'s fine," Maximus smiled and had Landon lower the defense array.
Anyway, it\'s not the main defense; it\'s the tier 8 puppet hidden in the dark.
Once these people from the Eryndor Empire do anything funny.
He will let them know why flowers are red.
Soon, about a hundred million people lined up to register and sign a contract.
"The foundation of the Moonlight Empire is indeed shallow," Maximus sighed as he observed.
Just the number of ships transporting the people from the Eryndor Empire could already overwhelm the Moonlight Empire.
Cedric was able to transport 1 billion people at one time because of the proximity of the Sun Sea region to his territory.
Otherwise, if it\'s farther away, he may not even transport a hundred million people.
...
A day later, with the efficiency of his subordinates, they registered all the people.
"How is it?"
"There are 95 million tier 1, 3 million tier 2, 10,000 tier 3, and 25 tier 4," Landon reported.
The envoy by the side listened and nodded, confirming the numbers.
"That will be about 12.6 billion," Maximus gave a smile and happily transferred the money.
This was nothing to him now.
His shop in the Arcan Continent could earn about 3 billion per month.
His empire could generate more than 2 billion when he converted the virtual money to system points.
There were also no other expenses except for the array in the empire.
As Shadow Hunter City was already generating revenue for its construction.
The only pity was that he couldn\'t use the Origin Arana Institute 99.9% here.
"Thank you for your patronage, Your Majesty!" The envoy said excitedly, examining the payment.
Although it wasn\'t much, it was a start.
It could be said that this amount was more than their monthly income in the Arcane Continent in the past.
"Hmm, I\'m looking forward to our next transaction," Maximus smiled.
After the people signed contracts and registered, he felt the amalgamation of will become stronger.
The enhancement was three times stronger than when Cedric brought a billion population.
"Then I will see Your Majesty again three months later!"
The envoy hurriedly left, hoping to report to his emperor as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, Maximus was notified that the map application he had instructed more than half a year ago was finished.
"The map is finished?"
