Chapter 29: Security System!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After hearing Luo En’s words, the two of them looked at each other, then nodded and smiled. “We agree! Let’s decide the ownership of this final design blueprint by drawing lots!”

After receiving the affirmative replies from the two of them, Luo En thought of how he often used paper to draw lots with others in his previous life. He quickly took out the paper he had with him and cut one piece of paper into two pieces of equal size. Then, he wrote on one of the pieces of paper but did not write on the other. He then folded the two pieces of paper into smaller pieces of equal size.

Thereafter, he let the two of them close their eyes. Then, Luo En began to toss the small pieces of paper upwards. After the small pieces of paper had dropped to the ground, Luo En let the two of them open their eyes again. They were to pick the small piece of paper they each desired.

The City Lord of Red Brilliance City and the City Lord of Eastern Mountain City were very surprised by this method of drawing lots. Luo En had provided a method of drawing lots which was unheard of to them. Nonetheless, the result was surprisingly good. This method of drawing lots was even fairer than what they had seen.

The two of them looked at the two small pieces of paper and then at Luo En, trying to find a tell-tale sign. However, Luo En would not make such a mistake. At this time, he had to ensure fairness and not reveal any hints. Otherwise, it would not be good to offend either of the mobile cities.

The two of them looked for five to six minutes before finally giving up. They each chose a small piece of paper and opened it.

Both of them were full of anticipation as they opened the small pieces of paper in their hands excitedly. Very soon, the face of the City Lord of Red Brilliance City became excited and ecstatic. He even cried out in joy. The face of the City Lord of Eastern Mountain City became sullen as he sighed and shook his head.

Then, he clasped his fist toward the City Lord of Red Brilliance City and said, “Congratulations, City Lord of Red Brilliance City!”

The City Lord of the Red Brilliance City did not show off too much. He also clasped his fist and replied, “The City Lord of Eastern Mountain City is too polite!”

When Luo En saw the final result, he smiled and said, “Alright, since the result is out, the design blueprint for the last small detector will go to the City Lord of Red Brilliance City!”

As Luo En spoke, he handed the last piece of the design blueprint to the City Lord of the Red Brilliance City.

The City Lord of the Red Brilliance City was so excited that his hands were trembling. He took the design blueprint from Luo En’s hands and handed over the storage ball, which had two and a half tonnes of gold ore, in his hand to Luo En.

When everyone saw the last design blueprint flash across their eyes, they could not help but feel deep regret. They hated themselves for not bidding faster when the last two design blueprints were up for bidding!

After the City Lord of Red Brilliance City had received the design blueprint, he immediately took a closer look at it. The more he looked at it, the more excited he became. He looked happily at Luo En and said, “City Lord of Luo Yang City! Pleased to trade!”

“I’m pleased to trade too!” Luo En replied with a smile.

He also checked the storage ball. There was nothing wrong with the ball. Seeing how he had traded the three design blueprints for a total of four and a half tonnes of gold ore in such a short period of time, he was extremely happy.

Three design blueprints were only worth 3,000 Evolution Points to Luo En, but four and a half tonnes of gold ore was worth 45,000 Evolution Points! Moreover, to Luo En, gold ore was not just to be used for conversion into Evolution Points, it also had more important uses! This was indeed a profitable deal to Luo En!

City Lord Chi Huang, who was very pleased, stuffed the design blueprint into his pocket. He came to Luo En’s side and whispered, “This Bai Chen is the most petty. City Lord Luo must be careful of him!”

“Thank you for informing me, City Lord Chi Huang!” Luo En replied with a clasped fist.

Even if the City Lord Chi Huang had not said anything, Luo En also knew what kind of person Bai Chen was. Did he not see how Bai Chen had spoken so harshly just not too long ago? There was nothing much to say when dealing with such a person. He had to be tough with him. The more he feared him, the more he would push his luck.

“By the way, what does the City Lord of Luo Yang City need?” the City Lord of Red Brilliance City looked at Luo En and asked.

Luo En was in a good mood. He smiled and replied, “I need some slaves!”

“You’ve found the right person. I do have some good slaves! I’ll bring you there now!” the City Lord of Red Brilliance City said gently.

With that said, he turned his back to Luo En, giving him enough trust.

“Oh? That’s great! Sorry to trouble the City Lord of Red Brilliance City!” Luo En replied with a smile.

Then, he followed closely behind the City Lord of Red Brilliance City toward the center of the marketplace, to the Red Brilliance Mobile City.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the Red Brilliance Mobile City. At this moment, there were rows of slaves below the city; there were young men, middle-aged men, and all sorts of women! There were even two rows of slaves kept in cages!

“These are the slaves that my Red Brilliance City want to trade! The City Lord of Luo Yang City can choose carefully!” The City Lord of Red Brilliance City pointed to the slaves on the side and laughed loudly.

After hearing what the City Lord of Red Brilliance City had said, Luo En looked at the slaves in front of him.

The slaves had dull eyes and relatively feeble forms. This could be because they had not had enough to eat for a long time. However, there were also some better-dressed slaves. As for the women, although they were covered in dust and their clothes were tattered, there were also some with natural beauty among them.

When they saw Luo En arrive, each of them showed a longing look. They knew that if they wanted to leave the control of City Lord Chi Huang, they could only depend on others to buy them over. Thus, all of them looked at Luo En with intense longing.

Of course, there were also some slaves who looked at Luo En with disdain despite their ragged clothes.

“City Lord Chi Huang! I want these twenty people!” Luo En said.

He looked around and decided to buy twenty people first. It would not be easy to manage if there were too many people. After all, in this apocalyptic world, everyone hoped that they could lead a better life. This would inevitably cause some to rebel. Hence, for the sake of security, he decided to take it one step at a time. He had chosen those who appeared to be more honest based on his experience.

City Lord Chi Huang looked at the twenty people Luo En had pointed to and nodded. “Yes! What does the City Lord of Luo Yang City plan to trade for?”

Luo En rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before saying, “Half a tonne of gold ore for these twenty people!”

“Alright! Deal!” City Lord Chi Huang clapped and said.

With that said, Luo En took out a storage ball containing half a tonne of gold ore and handed it to City Lord Chi Huang. Then, he went to the slaves and released the twenty people he had selected.

[City Lord System: Congratulations to the host for successfully buying slaves and unlocking the Security System!]

Just as Luo En was about to lead the twenty people to his mobile city, the System’s voice sounded in his mind.

“Oh? Security System?” Luo En murmured, perplexed by the voice in his head.

After a while, he figured out the purpose of the Security System. Its main function was to check everyone’s level of loyalty and rebellion to him, and make it more convenient to manage all the facilities in the city.

Luo En turned round and looked at the twenty people behind him. Immediately, lines of messages flooded into Luo En’s mind.

[Liu Zhi] [Low-Level Guard] [Rebellion: 0%]

[Liu Yuan] [Common Peasant] [Rebellion: 0%]

[Wen Yan] [Low-Level Gunner] [Rebellion: 2%]

[Li Yuan] [Low-Level Gunner] [Rebellion: 5%]

[Yang Luo] [Intermediate Gunner] [Rebellion Speed: 20%]

…..

“This is good stuff!” Luo En exclaimed as he read the messages.

With the Security System, it would be much more convenient to buy slaves in the future. He could directly use the system to check what types he wanted, and he would not be deceived by unscrupulous merchants.

Most of the twenty people were ordinary farmers. There were also low-level guards and low-level gunners. Their rebellion level was 0% mostly, but there were also people with rebellion levels as high as 20%.

Luo En planned to control all those who were above 2% in rebellion level. He was not stupid enough to use those who might rebel any moment. His mobile city was not very strong at the moment, and security was still the main priority.

After making up his mind, Luo En prepared to leave.

However, just when he was leaving, his gaze swept toward the last row of cages below the Red Brilliance City; he saw a slave with disdain in his eyes. At the same time, a line of message appeared in Luo En’s mind.

[Wang Yuan] [Advanced Gunner] [Rebellion: 30%]
