Chen Kai was very clear about the current state of his city. Although his reputation among the northern aboriginal nobles was slightly better. Kemal Dal and his party, who were busy with infighting, had no intention of paying attention to Chen Kai's development, or even if they were willing, they were unable to pay attention. Therefore, the trade route connecting the south from the north and at least the trade route to the town of Berkner was slightly connected.

Although the merchants walking on this trade route are basically similar to those of smugglers, if they are accidentally caught by the noble soldiers of the Northern Noble Alliance, those who are more lucky can still pay some money to avoid disaster when they meet a nobleman who is afraid of Chen Kai's military strength. For example, if they meet Baron Kemal Dahl's patrol, they will basically be a desolate ending.

The baron was unable to join Chen Kai on the surface, even if he was unable to make things difficult for Chen Kai, he still used various methods to prevent the materials from entering Berkner. It was the lightest to capture those caravans in the name of smugglers, and even more ruthlessly, he directly played the role of a horse thief who personally robbed those merchants who transported food and food. Not only the players' caravans would be robbed, but even the indigenous merchants would be robbed even if they were protected by mercenaries. It was just that the robbers were not only Baron Kemaldar's private army, but also the demonized cavalry and soldiers that existed in Hugodi territory. These former lords should not be too easy to do business without any scruples.

Because Baron Kemal Dahl's private army sometimes takes into consideration the impression, they often find some secluded places when doing things, or attack them secretly. After the battle, not only will the scene be cleaned up, but all the killed indigenous merchants have to be completely silenced and buried. At the same time, because the players cannot kill them, they almost do not attack the caravans with players. However, the demonized troops of the former lords are different because they do not need to take into account any influence. There is no need to worry that those players will spread their appearance.

Therefore, these demonized troops attacked the caravan without any consideration, and even reached the level of unscrupulousness. However, as Chen Kai's gold coins gradually increased, the money he invested in the soldiers became more and more. With the support of the Gem Abyss, Chen Kai began to wave gold coins and hire the indigenous mercenaries to strangle the demonized soldiers who appeared outside Berkner Town and even in the surrounding areas. The heads of a demonized soldier could be exchanged from Chen Kai to 500 to 1,000 gold coins. The huge gold coins offensive made Chen Kai pay nearly 500,000 gold coins on the first day of the mission. Thousands of demonized soldiers' heads were placed in front of him, and almost every day since then, nearly seven or eight hundred demonized soldiers' heads appeared in the security center of Berkner Town.

Chen Kai, who was waving a big stick of gold coins, became the favorite fool of the mercenaries in the central and southern Hans Court, because in their opinion, Chen Kai was the so-called typical example of people being stupid and having a lot of money. In almost half a month, most of the high-level mercenaries in the central and southern regions were concentrated around Berkner Town. They waved their weapons to strangle the demonized soldiers who were in the wilderness for gold coins, so that civilians who were not afraid to go out could finally go out to farm safely.

Although Chen Kai's behavior was similar to his stupidity in the eyes of those mercenaries, other indigenous nobles, including players from the north, were both admired and resentful of Chen Kai's move. Because all mercenaries must sign an agreement with Chen Kai, that is, when they accepted Chen Kai's employment to strangle demonized soldiers, they could not accept any task that threatened the safety of Berkner Town. At the same time, when they were threatened with security in Berkner Town, they had to unconditionally accept the employment of the lord Chen Kai, of course, the employment price was double that of the A-level mission. In other words, if Chen Kai hired them, each person would have to pay nearly a thousand gold coins every day.

But although the amount of this gold coins is huge, if it really comes to that time, Chen Kai would rather take out all his wealth than leave these gold coins to the enemy. At the same time, this agreement also ensures that those mercenaries will turn to Chen Kai at some point. After all, it is not a player lord or aboriginal lord who can take out such a large amount of gold coins to hire mercenaries. Of course, not every mercenary Chen Kai will give such a high price. The mercenary who can make Chen Kai pay such a high cost is basically very cutting-edge. It is precisely because of their existence that Baron Ankniru, who has been asking Chen Kai and others for trouble, has not appeared for a long time since.

"I'm really idle lately!" Guan Yu hugged in the lord's mansion in Berkner Town. Guan Yu's face exuded a lazy aura. This was not his intention, but because he was really idle. Nearly a month has passed since the discovery of the Gem Abyss. Although the number of players entering the Gem Abyss mining has dropped significantly in recent times, the income of the entire Berkner Town is still at nearly one million gold coins a day. Even though almost half of this income has been taken away by the system. In other words, it is included in the tax revenue of the Hansting Empire, the income remaining in Berkner Town is enough to maintain Chen Kai's release of those high bounty tasks. Under the stimulation of these tasks, almost no demonized soldiers dare to appear around Berkner Town. If they come out, they will be chopped off their heads for bounty.

Because of this, Guan Yu, who lost his leveling goal, became very leisurely. The only thing he did now is to wander the streets almost every day. He either found those mercenaries who looked very powerful, or lying on the sofa of the Lord's Mansion in a daze like now. Of course, most of the time Guan Yu's choice was the former, but when he challenged yesterday, he was beaten up and now he was lying on the side of a bandage tied around his body like a mummy. But even so, Guan Yu's face still didn't have much pain. On the contrary, because he was unable to go out and no one in the Lord's Mansion paid attention to him, he was very depressed.

However, it is estimated that the only ones in Berkner Town are the most leisurely people. The two flying dragons lying on the ground yawning beside him are also the most leisurely characters recently. Originally, they would spend most of their time flying in the air to guard the sky every day, but since they devoured the heart of a ground dragon that Chen Kai had bought for a lot of money a few days ago, they have become very lazy. Of course, the heart of this ground dragon was obtained from smuggling channels. Moreover, the two little guys did not swallow it directly but were used by He Liwen after using it. However, even the energy contained in the heart of the ground dragon that was close to the holy level still made the two little guys a little weak and unreplenished.

The first time after drinking the potion configured by He Liwen, the two little guys' bodies surged nearly twenty centimeters, and the scales on their bodies also cracked a lot. Because in addition to Xu Fei extracting the essence of the heart of the Earth Dragon, He Liwen also used some rare herbs collected from the abyss to configure them together. Finally, they mixed the only bottle of Holy Lake water that did not emit a breath. With such rare things, the final potion cannot even be named accurately in the system, but the only credible thing is that the effect of the medicine is absolutely excellent. At least after Chen Kai took a small sip, he rushed to the nearly 1,000 points of health increase, and directly rushed to the nearly 10,000 points of health mark. The most important thing is that this increase is permanent. At least Chen Kai did not receive any side effects from the system's health increase.

But what is confusing is that the effect of this potion is useless to others. Except for Chen Kai, everyone except Chen Kai only increased their physical strength by about 100, and their health has not increased at all. In the end, the rare potion equipped with this bottle entered the stomachs of the two little guys, but no one expected it to have the effect now. After nearly a week of digestion, the length of the two little guys exceeded nearly four meters, and there was no side effect of pulling seedlings to grow. If the only thing that could be calculated was the side effect, then they became very sleepy. The time for dozing off and eating took up nearly twenty-two hours every day, and they would wake up in less than two hours. But they were still too lazy to move. So they now formed a piece with Guan Yu, who was injured and lazy, and the three guys were huddled in the hall of the lord's mansion and yawned.

When Guan Yu and the two flying dragons were lazy in the lord's mansion, Chen Kai was on the edge of the cliff of the gem abyss. The gem abyss now has become a real gem abyss. At least the magic gem trading market established based on this abyss is the most prosperous place in the entire town of Berkner. Of course, what is even more prosperous is the entrance of the abyss surrounded by Chen Kai with rocks and wooden fences. The wall made of nearly two kilometers of rocks and wood completely surrounded the cliffs of the abyss under the reinforcement of spells. Under Chen Kai's arrangement, let alone creatures under the abyss to attack people, it becomes impossible for players outside the abyss to cross Chen Kai's patrol soldiers to enter the abyss to steal ore.

The heavy crossbows arranged in the surrounding rock walls are not only to deal with the monsters crawling out from the abyss, but also to deal with those enemies peeping into the gem abyss. Under Chen Kai's arrangement, there are at least seventeen urns around the abyss, and no two heavy crossbows are arranged on each urn. These heavy crossbows are all things that Chen Kai bought through special channels. Not only are they powerful, but the crossbow arrows are also rapidly penetrated. Thirty-two heavy crossbows can be launched at one direction in the abyss at the same time. The sharp crossbow arrows can even shoot through the outer skin of the Longyan lizards under the push of the powerful heavy crossbow. Because less than two days after these urns were established, they had such a record. The three-headed Longyan lizards were nailed to the cliff of the abyss. The wounds on their bodies were as big as half a fist. The thick crossbow arrows directly nailed the three-headed Longyan lizards to the cliff and then died.

In addition to the routine inspection of Chen Kai this time, he came to the Gem Abyss for a routine inspection, another important reason was to check the mining of the purple iron ore. Although the huge purple iron rough stone could not be lifted and dug out due to its volume, it did not prevent Chen Kai from mining other purple iron ore. In this month, the total amount of purple iron ore mined by Chen Kai exceeded nearly 200 tons, but the refined purple iron ingots were only ten tons. This is due to the rich content of purple iron among these ores. It would be great if a low-content ore could extract one ton. But everyone knows that the most precious thing in the entire purple iron ore is the largest purple iron rough stone, and Chen Kai wanted to dig out the most is this thing. Because just this rough stone can make all the cavalry under Chen Kai put on exquisite purple iron armor, not only can the defense increase a lot, but the appearance will also become very beautiful.

However, even though Chen Kai now has a group of dwarf blacksmiths, there is no way to get such a large piece of ore. What makes Chen Kai most confused is that among the dwarfs Fei Yun fooled, only a dozen of them can become blacksmiths. The others are foodies with muscle lumps in their minds. When they think of this, Chen Kai's heart becomes uncomfortable, because the gold coins that the dwarf muscle men eat every day can allow Chen Kai to provide more than 3,000 human soldiers. What makes him most depressed is that these foodies only eat and don't work, not only want Chen Kai to raise them like an old man. They also often cause trouble for him every day just to wipe the butts of these black dwarfs, Chen Kai will die a lot of brain cells.

If someone said in front of Chen Kai that dwarves are all honest and honest races, Chen Kai would definitely take out a pile of rotten eggs from his backpack and smash them to death, because he would no longer believe it anymore. Of course, these black dwarves have become Chen Kai's best miners. Although they don't know how to make irons, they have natural advantages in collecting ores. Even Chen Kai can make these black dwarves out this huge purple iron rough stone for him.

Unfortunately, although he was full of hope, these black dwarves were still not powerful enough, and they had no way to transport this huge purple iron stone from the ground. Of course, they could not be said to be unintentional. At least one dwarf gave up the idea, which was to directly dig a slope connecting the ground to the mine cave, and then pull the stone out from the ground little by little. However, Chen Kai calculated the earth and stone and excavation difficulty and gave up directly. Digging a channel with a depth of 300 meters was an extremely difficult task. Moreover, in order to facilitate the pull-up, the slope cannot be repaired too steep and must be smooth enough. This also led to the entire slope being built very long, and the amount of soil and stone excavation became even more terrifying.

So even though the possibility of this suggestion is very high, considering the amount of soil and rocks excavated, Chen Kai directly rejected this very genius idea, allowing this huge purple iron rough stone to continue to sleep in the underground world of more than 300 meters.

"Xiao Fei! How are those guys in the north recently?" Chen Kai slowly climbed out of the underground mine and saw Xu Fei walking over the gem abyss in the camp. At this moment, Xu Fei was covered with gems like Wang Xuewen. The gems looked as dazzling as they were. Of course, these gems are not decorations. Just the magic fluctuations emitted on them, you can tell how terrible and dangerous they are.

"It's okay! But no matter how you look at it, you probably won't be honest for a long time! These guys probably forgot that we are still grasshoppers wearing a rope now!" Xu Fei's answer was full of contempt. Of course, he also knew in his heart that the player lords in the north also knew in their hearts. However, when a fortune that could change their inner thoughts appeared in front of him, it would be a fool to want these players who gathered for profit to continue to abide by the past agreements.

"No! They probably forgot how much power the boss has in his hands now? They still want to connect it together, haha!" Fei Yun is also wearing a jewelry spirit. Of course, compared to Xu Fei's secret gems made by Wang Xuewen, his body is full of roughly processed ordinary gems. The only use is to display it. It is also a very luxurious display of a bag. This is Chen Kai's most depressing thing, because Fei Yun now looks like a nouveau riche.

"I said, "The fourth brother! Can't you put away the things hanging on you?" Chen Kai looked at the gems on Fei Yun's body and was very depressed, but when he swept over the gems on Fei Yun's body, he found that several special gems mixed in dazzling gems emitted this unusual fluctuation. At the same time, Fei Yun, who heard Chen Kai's words, also lowered his head and smiled and touched the gems. Under the appearance of Fei Yun's nouveau riche, no one would find those hidden secret gems. This was Fei Yun's intentional way. Sometimes deliberately exposing things to others' eyelids may make them ignore some fatal details. Those hidden secret gems can definitely surprise those who think that Fei Yun is a nouveau riche.

In the end, Fei Yun did not take off the gems and still hung them on his body shinyly, and Chen Kai could only choose a speechless expression to deal with it.

When Chen Kai inspected his territory, the players and lords from the north gathered together to start a secret meeting other than Chen Kai. Everyone knew very well that when they did such a behavior, they had already set the goal of the meeting on someone. Although they knew that this person might not be so easy to deal with, when a large amount of wealth was placed in front of them, the interests had already made them lose their fear.

"Haha! Everyone knows why we gathered together? The man from the south is too much. He shouldn't eat alone!" The first person to speak was Feng Buyun, the boss of the Iron Cavalry Society. After he finished speaking, he had never dealt with him much, but he did not object.

"Haha! Boss Feng is right, it is just for everyone to make money!" Li Xiangrong, the president of the wealthy Xianghu Brotherhood, showed a very honest smile on his cheek, but everyone else's hearts all linked this smile with the old fox insidiously, because the chubby middle-aged man led this rally.
