 "Ugh."

The injured cat-headed man kept vomiting blood and was about to die.

Although Rosa wanted to save the cat-headed man and tried her best to use her healing powers to save him, the latter gradually turned blue. Before the wound was completely healed, the cat-headed man might have died.

Bleeding to death.

Large beads of sweat flowed from the forehead of the cat-headed girl. She was a little desperate that she could not save the people she knew.

At this time, Lin Fei stepped forward and said to the cat-headed girl, "Let me do it!"

"Boss Lin!" The cat-headed girl looked up at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei squatted down and activated the light of life ability. It was also a healing ability, but the two were completely different. If Rosa's healing ability was the light of fireflies, then the light of life cast by Lin Fei was

The light power is the radiance of the bright moon.

The light cluster of the light of life is brighter, the white color is purer, and it has a sense of warmth.

The wounds on the wounded and dying cat-headed man were scarred at an extremely fast speed, and the blood stopped flowing in less than three seconds. At the same time, the complexion on his face became much better.

Rosa saw the cat-headed man out of danger and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked at Lin Fei, her expression a little shocked at first, and then she said with sincerity and gratitude, "Thank you, thank you, Boss Lin."

"You're welcome." Lin Fei waved his hand gently. Rosa helped the cat-headed man to the side of the street to sit and rest. Then she looked up at the pig-headed men upstairs, her expression full of anger.

This cat-headed city also has a large population, and there are many pedestrians on the streets. Now that there is a "show" to watch, many pedestrians formed a circle outside, pointing and watching the excitement.

At this time, the pig-headed men upstairs, who were obviously outsiders, showed no fear when facing Rosa, a local resident. They even looked at Rosa with pride.

At this moment, Rosa changed her previous weakness, raised her head and asked in a cold voice, "Our city lord has clearly stipulated that outsiders are not allowed to cause trouble when entering the city. Why do you pig-headed people persecute my people?"

"We didn't persecute him!" Several pig-headed men laughed, and one of them said, "Magu lent us a lot of money before, and now we have no way to pay it back.

We asked him if he was willing to die on his own or give his daughter to us, and he chose to die, so of course we had to help him."

When Rosa heard this, she suddenly looked at the cat-headed man leaning against the wall.

The cat-headed man was stared at by Rosa, and he looked away guiltily.

"Then you can't force people to die." Rosa took a few deep breaths and said to the debt-collecting pig-headed men with some lack of confidence.

"Miss, your tribe is unwilling to pay back the money and sell their daughter. We are in a very difficult situation now!" One of the pig-headed men with earrings on their ears shrugged and said helplessly.

The other people upstairs laughed loudly, and the passers-by around them also started pointing. Although these people were all cat-headed people, and they were a little upset when they saw that their own people were almost beaten to death by pig-headed people, it was only natural that they should pay back their debts.

, there is nothing to say.

Lin Fei glanced at the passers-by around him, looking at their expressions and expressions, thoughtfully.

Rosa was speechless at this time, because she could see that her acquaintance Uncle Magu seemed to really owe a lot of money to others.

She thought for a while and said to the cat-headed man leaning against the wall, "Uncle Magu, if you have something to hide..."

But when she was halfway through her words, she was interrupted by someone.

The pig-headed man upstairs shouted, "Miss, I advise you to leave this man alone, he is just a promiscuous gambler.

He is greedy for money. He not only borrowed money from us, but also borrowed a lot of loan sharks from other people. If he didn't die, his daughter would probably not have a good life. If you really want to help him, either help him pay back the money.

, or let him die."

Rosa was stunned. The cat-headed man named Magu still lowered his head and did not dare to look into Rosa's eyes.

Finally, Rosa sighed and said, "Uncle Magu, how much do you owe?"

"One gold coin, ninety-nine silver coins, and ninety-nine copper coins." The pig-headed creditors upstairs shouted loudly.

Rosa's body trembled. It was too much. It was too much for her. She had to sell everything in her house to barely get the money.

"Little girl, don't worry about him. With this money, you might as well buy some food for yourself. It's not worth the loss to save a dead man." An old man among the passers-by onlookers advised Rosa.

Rosa closed her eyes helplessly, recalling that Uncle Magu had helped her and her grandfather when they were in the most difficult times. Without his help, she and her grandfather would have starved to death years ago.

After a while, Rosa turned to look at Lin Fei and asked hesitantly, "Lin...Boss Lin, can you lend me 2 gold coins first?"

Yes, yes, but is it really necessary to save such a person... Lin Fei said nothing, took out two gold coins from his pocket and handed them to Rosa.

He really didn't want to help the cat-headed man named Magu. He hated gamblers, but he admired the kind-hearted Rosa. Now that she was speaking out, she would definitely have to help.

Rosa glanced at Lin Fei gratefully, took two gold coins from Lin Fei's hand, handed them to the cat-headed man, and said, "Uncle Magu, take it to pay off your debt! Don't gamble anymore."

The cat-headed man looked at the coins in his hand, his eyes gradually brightened, he thanked Rosa repeatedly, and then threw the money directly to the second floor.

Several pig-headed men got the money. After they verified the authenticity, one of them looked at Rosa and said, "Kind lady, I'm not telling you, this kind of person will not correct himself. Of course, I hope you are kind."

It may have an effect!”

Rosa pursed her lips and said nothing, and the pig-headed men laughed and left.

The cat-headed man named Magu turned to look at Rosa and said, "Rosa, thank you."

"Uncle Magu, don't gamble anymore, don't make your sister worry anymore," Rosa said.

Magu nodded, thanked her a lot and left. After walking a few steps, she even looked back, looking particularly touched.

Since there was no show to watch, the pedestrians soon dispersed, and Rosa's expression became much more relaxed, even a little happy.

Although he bled profusely, he still saved the life of someone who had been kind to him. This is a good thing!

"Okay, let's keep walking!" Lin Fei said to Rosa.

"Yes." Rosa nodded and led Lin Fei to the location of the City Lord's Mansion. After walking a long way, she turned to look at Lin Fei and said, "Boss Lin, please give me a few days.

I will pay back the two gold coins I owe you."

"You don't have to pay it back. Those two gold coins can be regarded as your reward for being my guide!" Lin Fei said with a smile.

"Ah?" Rosa was stunned for a moment. Two gold coins were a huge sum of money to her. "No, no, no, how can this be done? Two gold coins are too much as a reward."

"It's okay if I say it. Stop talking about the gold coins and just help me lead the way." Lin Fei said without any doubt.

"Uh..." Rosa opened her mouth but said nothing more.

After a while, a castle-like building appeared in front of Lin Fei's eyes.

It has round towers, narrow windows, semicircular arches, low domes, and door frames that are raised layer by layer for decoration.

A large number of columns and vaults of various shapes are used to give people a feeling of solidity, weight, balance and stability.

The narrow windows on the wall form a strong contrast with the vast space inside, making the interior of the castle dim and deep, giving people a sense of mystery and darkness.

This architectural style seems out of place with the other buildings in the city... Lin Fei looked around and thought to himself.

"Boss Lin, this is the City Lord's Mansion." Rosa pointed to the castle in front of her and said. When the guard guarding the door looked towards her, she was so frightened that she quickly put down her hand.

"Well, thanks! You go to the stall next to you and order something to eat, and wait for me to come out." Lin Fei took out a dozen silver coins from his pocket and stuffed them into Rosa's hand.

"I'm not hungry. I'll just stand here and wait for you to come out." Rosa said, wanting to return the silver coins in her hand to Lin Fei.

"The sun is so strong. If you stand here and are exposed to the sun, you may be fainted when I come out." Lin Fei said, and then walked towards the guard in the distance.

Rosa saw Lin Fei leaving and stood quietly watching.

"Keep out of sight, this is not the place you should be, leave quickly." The guards in front of the castle looked at Lin Fei and said.

"I am a merchant and I came here from a very far away place. I want to discuss business with your city lord. Can you pass the message for me?" Lin Fei said.

"Hongshang?" The guards hesitated after hearing this. As guards of the City Lord's Mansion, they know more about the City Lord's recent troubles than others.

"Do you have any food?" a guard asked.

"Yes, I have a lot of food." Lin Fei said with a smile.

"Huh?!!!" The guards were overjoyed when they heard this. One of them seemed to be a captain-level figure. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Lin Fei, "Wait a moment, I will go and inform you."

"Tap, step, step..."

Lin Fei watched the cat-headed guard captain running quickly into the castle. He then pointed to Rosa in the distance and motioned for her to wait for him at the small stall nearby.

When Rosa sat down under the shed of the stall, she saw Lin Fei enter the city lord's palace unhurriedly, greeted by the captain of the guard's eager attitude.

"Guest, would you like some steamed buns?" The owner of the small stall came to Rosa and asked.

"Give me three...well, let's give me five steamed buns!" Rosa said.

"Okay, just wait a minute." The shopkeeper nodded and went to the stove to fill a bowl with Rosa's five small black-faced steamed buns.

…………

The guard captain took Lin Fei to the top floor of the castle and stopped in front of a solid wood door with beautiful patterns carved on it.

"Dong dong dong."

"Come in."

The guard captain opened the door and motioned for Lin Fei to go in.

Lin Fei walked into the room and saw a cat-headed man wearing soft armor sitting behind a large table. The table was covered with official documents.

Because Lin Fei was far away from the cat-headed city last time when the beasts attacked the city, so this was the first time for him to meet the city lord.

"Please take a seat." The cat-headed city lord sensed that this merchant only had second-level psychic fluctuations, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, the strength of a merchant is directly proportional to the amount of goods he carries. The stronger the strength, the more money he brings.

The more goods there are.

After Lin Fei took his seat, he said directly, "Lord City Lord, I came from afar. I heard that you encountered a beast tide not long ago, and now there is a shortage of food in the city."

"Well, the crops outside the city were almost completely destroyed due to the tide of beasts. Although we have some food in the warehouse, there is still a big gap if we want to supply the entire city." The cat-headed city lord said.

"How much is missing?" Lin Fei asked.

"Five million catties." The city lord said casually. He didn't think Lin Fei could have as much food as this.

"Is it just five million catties?" Lin Fei felt that five million catties of grain was a bit too little.

"I have already sent caravans to other cities to buy food. I will just keep the five million kilograms of food until those caravans come back," the city lord said.

"Okay, I will deliver these grains to you tomorrow. What's the price?" Lin Fei thought for a while and decided to take over this business. The cat-headed city that is waiting for development must be short of more than just grains. Let's finish this first

Do business, establish contact with each other, and have a promising future.

"You mean you can come up with these five million kilograms of grain?!" The cat-headed city lord who originally didn't have much hope was stunned for a moment, and then said with a look of disbelief.

"Yes." Lin Fei nodded, his tone full of confidence.

Because of the free spiritual energy in the air, the crops in the fields on Blue Star are growing very well now. Coupled with the dual assistance of technology and supernatural powers, the yield is very gratifying.

It’s just five million kilograms of grain! You can easily get it from any grain wholesale site on Blue Star.

Of course, although the food production is gratifying and everyone is not short of food, everyone should seriously learn not to waste food.

"Huh." The cat-headed city lord let out a long breath, looking at the merchant wearing a bamboo hat and a strange mask, to calm down his excited mood.

"All the gold coins in my warehouse were taken away by the food caravan. Do you want to accept the spiritual stones?"

"Received."

"5 million kilograms of grain and 1,000 spiritual stones."

Lin Fei listened to the quotation from the Cat-headed City Lord and made quick calculations in his mind.

"It costs about 8 million yuan to buy 5 million kilograms of grain at the grain station on Blue Star, which is equivalent to 160 spirit stones. I make almost 840 spirit stones by selling it. Is the food in the cat-headed city so expensive now?"

The cat-headed city lord looked at Lin Fei quietly. Seeing that the other party was silent, he wondered if the other party was dissatisfied with his offer and whether he should increase it a little more. After all, some people are starving to death every day.

"Okay, that's the price." Just when the Cat-headed City Lord was about to raise the price, Lin Fei finalized the deal.

The cat-headed city lord was overjoyed and asked in a gentle tone, "How much deposit is required?"

"No need." Lin Fei shook his head.

"Huh?" The cat-headed city lord looked at Lin Fei in surprise. This was the first time he met a businessman who didn't want a deposit.
