System notification.

Player trader has sent you a trade request.

Do you accept, trader? Lu G's gaze instinctively turned to Ying Shien, and he quickly reacted, his expression turning slightly surprised.

You can actually be anonymous.

How did you do that? It's a special skill of my commercial civilization.

After all, my Diddy is also a commercial secret, even through the gauze.

Luog could feel the smuggness from the other party, and he couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

Being anonymous is such a great skill.

Just to confirm, can you be anonymous when attacking others? If you could be anonymous when attacking others, that would be too invincible.

You could attack and run away, and if the other side wanted revenge, they wouldn't even know who to look for.

Just thinking about it is exhilarating.

However, the result disappointed Lu OG.

Ying Xin shook her head.

You're overthinking it.

This effect can't be used in combat.

All right, I feel somewhat balanced now.

If it were possible to be anonymous during invasion battles, that would be a bit too enviable.

Not wanting to dwell on this matter any longer.

LuG decisively changed the subject.

By the way, how's business lately? Pretty good.

Food has always been easy to sell.

After all, no matter how high the player's level, once they get into a tough fight, they will almost certainly run out of food eventually.

Besides food, the easiest things to sell are ores, herbs, and similar items.

While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the shop rented by Yiqing Shien.

They didn't enter through the front door, but rather discreetly through the back door.

Once inside, Lu Gi took off the gau hat, feeling quite uncomfortable wearing it the whole time.

As he removed the gauze hat, a pair of slender hands instinctively reached out to take it from him.

Lu Gi assumed those hands belonged to Yiqing Shien and didn't te think much of it.

However, when he looked up, he was taken aback as the one who took the gauze hat was not Ying Shien, but an NPC dressed in a women's suit.

Unlike Xiaoan and Luo Yong, who looked like real fleshy humans from head to toe, this NPC, while appearing lifelike in every detail, felt distinctly like a programmed entity operating under a specific protocol.

Sit here for a moment.

I'll confirm the orders.

After saying that, Ying Xien quickly gestured for the NPC shopkeeper to bring over the orders.

There weren't many orders, likely because Yiqinguan's level was too low and her reputation was not prominent.

This was unavoidable.

The customer base takes time to build.

After quickly reviewing the orders, Yi Ching Xian clapped her hands and stood up.

All set.

Let's go.

I'll take you around a neutral zone and treat you to a meal.

We can eat here.

Lu Gi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Of course.

Yi Ching Xian nodded seriously, perhaps wanting to lure players into spending money.

The system had set up various entertainment and consumption venues in this neutral zone with coffee shops, Chinese restaurants, and Western restaurants found everywhere.

The only downside is that you can't directly go online to check information here.

All right, Lu G's interest was peaked.

This neutral zone seemed even more enticing than he had anticipated, and it was definitely worth a good look.

In the time that followed, Lu Gi followed Yiqing Shien around the neutral zone.

He had to admit that Ying Xien was right.

The numerous attractions in this neutral zone were clearly designed by the system to entice players to spend their civilization points.

Although those things had no real use for developing civilization, many players were still willing to buy them simply to satisfy their appetites.

At this moment, Lu G, who had just stuffed a piece of brazed pork in his mouth, was undoubtedly feeling this deeply.

It was irresistible.

It was truly terrifying.

Chapter 410.

the way to the emperor.

After a hearty meal of brazed pork, Lajia felt quite satisfied.

Yet, he began to doubt whether he could resist the temptations from the neutral zones in the future.

This meal cost over a 100,000 civilization points, and the systems plundering of wealth was simply outrageous.

After finishing the meal, the two found a CAF across the street to discuss their development plans before returning to their respective civilizations.

Diving back into more busy development work, time flew by and recently every household in Lajia civilization had begun preparing for winter.

Many clothing drying poles were already adorned with strips of pickled fish and meat, clearly indicating the success of Luajia's promotion of preserved foods.

At the same time, the demand for coarse salt surged dramatically due to the emergence of preserved foods.

As a result, the employees at the salt drying workshop were busy every day.

The scale of the operation expanded and more hands were added, but they still couldn't keep up with the sales.

Core salt was practically being sold out in a true sense and there were even several shortages making it impossible to meet demand.

The logf felt helpless about this situation.

After all, in a few months, the efficiency of the salt drying workshop in supplying core salt would surely improve.

The key to solving this problem was time.

Pursuing other measures would be somewhat redundant.

Meanwhile, construction of Ching Shuer City next to the salt drying workshop officially began.

This location adjacent to the three-star wonder Ching Shuer Lake was likely even better than Ming Jing city in some respects.

Luajia had no reason not to develop it.

Even for the effective use of resources, he had to build a large city here.

Referring to the map, Luaja pondered for quite a while before finally determining the initial scale.

According to his modern thinking, he decided to overlook the internal buildings for now.

They could be simple, but the priority was to erect the outer city walls first.

Building a city was a massive project, and even with a large mobilization of manpower and resources.

It would likely take several years to take shape.

With this in mind, he decided to first construct the outer city walls, knowing that even if something unexpected happened, they could still defend themselves behind the walls.

The poor head of the construction department, after so many years, had hardly any time to rest.

However, there was no choice.

The early stages of civilization required development everywhere.

Development would inevitably require the efforts of the construction department, a situation that could not be avoided.

The only ones working as hard as Logia were probably the quarry and logging departments, as these three departments complemented each other.

Originally, Loajia was also contemplating building another city outside Shiuan City to push the western defense line of the myriad civilizations further out.

After all, if Shiuan City fell, invading players could rush directly into Ming Jing City, which was too dangerous.

However, considering the feelings of the construction department head, Hishu, Luajia decided to postpone this matter to avoid overwhelming the already 44year-old minister, fearing it might lead to high blood pressure or strokes.

The entire myriad civilizations continued to maintain rapid development.

And as the highest ruler of the myriad civilizations, Lajia was certainly busy with countless matters with hardly a moment of peace.

After closing another report, Lajia felt a bit stiff from sitting for too long.

He stretched his body and was just thinking about it being time for a meal when a guard rushed in.

"Your Majesty," the craftsman responsible for casting the Yong Ding have sent word that the casting is complete.

Hearing this news, Luaja's heart skipped a beat.

In his mind, even if those craftsmen were skilled, it shouldn't have been finished so quickly.

Come with me to take a look.

to cast the Yong Ding.

Luagia had arranged for the craftsman to have an independent courtyard, now accompanied by a team of guards.

Luaja quickly arrived at the courtyard and immediately focused on the bronze ding placed in the center.
