Chapter 503 The Second Elder, Despairing of Life!
"Lord City Lord, the sewing machine you requested has been manufactured." Elder Ai Zhi had just left when A Qiu and Dong Dong arrived.
"Oh? So fast?" Xiao Yu looked at the things Dongdong was carrying on his shoulder.
The sewing machine was sturdy, but both women were fourth-level experts, strong enough to lift a cauldron.
The item, weighing only a hundred pounds, felt as light as nothing on Dongdong's shoulder.
"Let me see." Xiao Yu smiled and took the sewing machine from Dongdong.
He brought over a chair, grabbed two pieces of cloth, and quickly tried them out.
The level of professionalism in this movement is something even a fifty-year veteran tailor would envy.
A moment later, Xiao Yu stepped on the sewing machine and sewed a '78' shape on the two pieces of cloth.
Xiao Yu looked up and nodded in satisfaction: "As expected of a senior mechanic! The quality is guaranteed! Every stitch is incredibly smooth! Even Dove chocolate isn't as smooth as yours!"
"Huh? What's Dove?" Dongdong asked, tilting his head.
Why does the city lord always say such strange things? I can't understand a word he says.
"Ahem~" Xiao Yu coughed twice, waved his hand and said, "Alright, don't worry about these details! Now that we have samples, let's hurry up and make a batch."
The garment factory is under a lot of pressure to produce, but everyone is waiting to use it.
“Yes, Lord City Lord!” Dongdong replied.
However, the two women did not leave immediately, but looked at him with conflicted expressions.
"Is there anything else?" Xiao Yu asked the two women, puzzled.
"Um..." A Qiu said with a wry smile, "Lord City Lord, may I ask when my uncle and the others will be rescued?"
"Yes, Lord City Lord!" Dongdong said anxiously, mustering his courage.
After all, things can change in the long run.
The sisters learned this from Agatha Christie.
Uncle Gao Tai and his father's lineage numbered over a thousand.
In an attempt to save them, he was imprisoned in a water dungeon by the elders.
Several months have passed, and nobody knows how much longer my uncles and the others can hold on.
"Don't worry, I've already reached an agreement with the Grand Elder of the Mechanized City," Xiao Yu reassured him with a smile.
Previously, there were concerns that the presence of the two sisters might interfere with the negotiations between the two parties.
Therefore, the two women were not brought along during the negotiations with the Grand Elder of the Mechanized City.
"Moreover, with the Second Elder in my hands, I'm not afraid that the First Elder won't hand him over."
As he spoke, Xiao Yu flipped his hand, and a crystal cage the size of a thumb appeared in his palm.
"Lord of Dragon City, didn't the First Elder agree to your conditions? What else do you want? Are you two traitors?" The Second Elder snorted in dissatisfaction as he saw Xiao Yu pull him out again through the cracks in the cage.
Upon seeing the two girls, A Qiu and Dong Dong, the Second Elder's expression darkened further.
He ended up as a prisoner because of these two traitors!
"You are the traitors!"
Dongdong's pretty face turned fierce. She reached out and picked up the crystal cage, spitting as she shouted angrily, "You betrayed the original intention of creating the Mechanical City! You are the traitors! You killed Father!"
The original purpose of creating the Mechanical City was to recreate ancient civilization.
Help people in the apocalypse defend against ferocious beasts and disasters, and rebuild their homes.
My father always adhered to this principle, but the First Elder and the Second Elder changed.
In their quest to become stronger and acquire more resources, they resorted to any means necessary, harming countless innocent people.
"You old bastard! You deserve what you got today!"
The girl got angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she even accidentally spat out some saliva.
The second elder was sprayed all over his face and trembled with fear.
After all, he was now in a cage, and looking at the two sisters was like looking at a colossus.
With a casual shake, Dongdong sent him spinning around in the prison cell.
Ah Qiu was always quiet and elegant, unlike her younger sister who would swear and curse.
However, seeing the Second Elder's disheveled appearance, he felt quite pleased.
This is the person who killed their father and drove the sisters to despair.
Right now, they are being manipulated by the two sisters—literally manipulated by them....
After venting their frustrations, the two sisters felt much better.
At the scene, only the Second Elder remained, looking utterly dejected.
The two sisters, as Xiao Yu had requested, went to the bicycle factory.
After several rounds of frenzied buying, the bicycle craze has cooled down.
So the two sisters told the bicycle factory workers to put the production of sewing machines on hold and start producing them first.
……
Lunchtime, City Lord's Mansion Restaurant.
“Brother, many traveling merchants have placed orders for a large amount of goods today. In just half a day, the total turnover is almost double that of yesterday!” Honglian casually handed an A4 sheet of paper to Xiao Yu, her pretty face beaming with joy.
"Oh? There are so many?" Xiao Yu took them and glanced at them, somewhat surprised.
Yesterday afternoon, the Sissif siblings placed an order for over two million dollars worth of goods.
Therefore, yesterday's total turnover exceeded three million!
But this morning's turnover reached a staggering 586.6 million!
If we wait until evening, wouldn't we be able to earn tens of millions in a single day?
"is not that right?"
Chu Ling Shuang had just walked in when she heard their conversation and said with a smile, "It's all because of the full moon. Everyone's in a panic right now, stockpiling food, water, and weapons..."
Yesterday, our forging section sold over a million yuan worth of goods, and today that number has more than doubled.
After the full moon, everyone felt tense and stressed.
Originally, the traveling merchants carried far more energy stones and resources than before.
They wanted to make a deal with the Mechanical City.
But now... they've completely broken ties with the Mechanical City.
Dragon City has no mechanical weapons.
However, the weapons forged in Dragon City are no worse than those in Mechanical City.
Therefore, itinerant merchants rushed to buy them.
"Yes, that's a good thing!" Xiao Yu nodded with a smile.
In that case, let's add the fifty million from the Mechanized City.
Perhaps, this trip to the city of government offices will allow us to raise another 100 million.
At that time, the ivy will be able to advance to the ninth level.
"Of course it would be great, but the problem is it's too great..."
Honglian shrugged and smiled helplessly.
"There is enough supply of vegetables, but the bicycle and clothing industries are in short supply because they have only recently started. They are very popular with itinerant merchants and are now in serious shortage."
Most of the itinerant vendors were waiting to pay.
But now there's no stock. Brother, look here...."
As she spoke, she reached out and tapped the form on the paper.
Xiao Yu glanced at it, then smiled and shook his head.
Apart from a few traveling merchants like Sith who placed the earliest orders.
The other vendors had already paid small deposits for bicycles and clothing.
But... the goods are still nowhere to be found.
"And..." Honglian continued:
"Brother, you don't know, I just heard it from Sith. He said that some cities that are farther away are also planning to send people to Mechanical City to buy weapons. I heard that some of these cities have seventh or eighth-level experts stationed there, and they will bring a lot of energy stones."
