Cheng Mu looked stunned, then stared at Hongyu Jiu San in disbelief: "Are you insulting me?"
You actually told the majestic leader of a country that you can’t afford it? Huh?
This is looking down on him, Cheng Mu!
"No, it's not."
Hearing Cheng Mu's question, Hongyu Jiu San explained in a panic:
"I mean, we, the Sky Bird Clan, need a huge amount of food to survive!"
"For example, my invisibility skill must be replenished with energy at all times in order to use it and maintain it."
It's not that it looks down on Cheng Mu.
But the reality is that no one dares to utter wild words about raising the entire Sky Bird Clan.
Of course, now Cheng Mu is not a person, but the leader of a country.
"Tell me, what do you usually rely on to replenish your energy?"
He knew that since Sky Birds are a special race.
The energy that maintains their invisibility cannot be the mortal world.
"Gold!"
Faced with Cheng Mu's inquiry, Hongyu Jiu San hurriedly replied: "The food of our heavenly birds is gold."
"Without the energy of gold as a supplement, our strength will decline."
"In the end, we will degenerate into the most ordinary birds!"
As he said this, his mood became depressed again.
It didn't want to become an ordinary bird, so it teamed up with Song Ke to deceive people.
"Gold?"
Hearing Hongyu Jiu San's words, Cheng Mu was stunned for the first time.
"You Tiantiao actually rely on gold to maintain your strength. Then isn't the Tiantiao Island where you used to live made of pure gold?"
Although he has iron mines, copper mines, lead mines, tin mines...
But as for gold mines.
At least for this long, no one has reported the discovery and existence of gold mines in China.
"Actually, not really."
Kureha Kusan explained: "Our island is rich in metal elements, and we can replenish energy just by breathing."
"There, we also eat ordinary grains, fruits and vegetables."
For it, Tiantiao Island is the paradise for their Tiantiao.
But after the Eternal Demon King Black Order took action, Atomori Island has become history.
At this moment, Cheng Mu understood.
The Celestial Birds can feed on ordinary grains, vegetables and fruits, but this will degrade their own strength.
And if they want to maintain their strength, they must feed on gold and silver.
"Can copper and iron be used?"
At this time, Cheng Mu asked: "Copper and iron are also metals!"
Using gold as food is indeed a bit luxurious.
However, Kureha Jiu San shook his head: "I tried, but only gold has the effect."
Although copper, iron, zinc, and tin are all metals, they have no effect on the Sky Bird Clan.
Not even silver.
"Then how much can you eat at one time?"
After hearing Hongyu Jiu San's answer, Cheng Mu finally lost his confidence.
Special races are mostly losers. This can be compared to Black Order and Panda.
If the Sky Bird Clan is like them, with bottomless pits in their stomachs, he, the leader of a country, may really not be able to afford it.
"An ordinary sky bird needs one gold coin a day to maintain its strength without declining."
Hongyu Jiusan said: "But once you use your ability, your own energy will be consumed rapidly."
"And as our strength grows, the more metal energy we need."
"In general, a sky bird of average strength needs ten gold coins a day to live a carefree life!"
As a sky bird, it consumes energy just to fly, and to hide and play for a while is another huge energy consumption.
Based on the purchasing power of 1 gold, the daily consumption of one Sky Bird is equivalent to the daily rations of thousands of soldiers.
Raising ten heavenly birds is equivalent to supporting ten thousand soldiers. If you raise one hundred birds...
In terms of rations, it only increases the rations for 100,000 soldiers.
But what the sky bird eats is gold!
In the absence of gold mines, the source of gold mainly depends on the inventory in the hands of the state and the people.
Indeed, every time a point of gold is consumed, a point is lost. What's more terrible is that Cheng Mu also consumes gold coins when recruiting soldiers.
Maybe there is a huge amount of gold in the entire Shenzhou Kingdom.
But if you consume endlessly, there will be a day when it is exhausted.
So at this moment, Cheng Mu was a little confused after hearing these words.
How can anyone live by eating money?
King of Ganfan, King of Ganfan, the rice cooked by the Tiantiao clan is really different from everyone else.
"Ahem."
However, as the leader of Tianqi Kingdom, Cheng Mu still has confidence.
He said: "How many of your remaining Tianniao clan are there? Contact me."
He thought that one of his legions could be equipped with up to ten of them, which would be used to communicate within the legion with the outside world.
Those hundred heavenly birds should also be raised...
"Fuck!"
In an instant, Cheng Mu was swearing.
An ordinary sky bird is worth ten gold a day, and a hundred is worth a thousand gold.
One hundred heavenly birds consume 10,000 gold in ten days, one hundred thousand gold in the day, and tens of millions of gold in three years.
Not counting the more powerful Sky Bird.
"This is really too much to support!"
If consumption continues like this, Apocalypse City's gold coin deposit may really not be enough.
He, the leader of the Apocalypse Kingdom, may really not be able to raise the Sky Bird.
This is a bit embarrassing.
At this time, he asked the last sentence: "What is the strength of the strongest person in your Tianniao clan? How many gold coins do you need to maintain your peak condition every day?"
If it is within a hundred pieces.
Cheng Mu was able to raise a few celestial birds even if he lived frugally.
"The realm of ghosts and gods."
Hong Yu Jiu San replied: "Our Lord of Heavenly Birds, our strength has already entered the realm of ghosts and gods."
"As for his daily consumption, if converted into your human gold coins, it should be one thousand gold coins."
"If it's a combat situation, the number will reach 10,000!"
The Lord of Heavenly Birds, who has the power of ghosts and gods, consumes energy every time he flaps his wings.
Not to mention combat status.
"Can't afford to offend!"
Cheng Mu decided to give in immediately.
Tianniao, who is in the ghost and god realm, needs one thousand gold to maintain his daily energy consumption. If he fights, he will need ten thousand gold at a time.
This is totally a waste of money!
Ten thousand gold can be used to recruit 200 Wei soldiers. After other Wei soldiers are recruited, they will still exist anyway.
But this ten thousand gold will be gone after it is consumed.
Moreover, after joining Cheng Mu's command, Tianniao's qualifications will definitely be improved.
By then, the Sky Bird clan will no longer be able to have only one strong person in the ghost and god realm, the Lord of the Sky Birds.
More importantly, Cheng Mu's own men consumed an astronomical amount of gold coins.
Army recruitment.
Soldier pay.
currency circulation.
That is to say, unless Cheng Mu can find an inexhaustible gold mine. Only in this way can it be possible to keep Tianniao in captivity.
It’s not like he didn’t think about re-developing currency to replace gold, silver and copper in domestic circulation.
However, coins such as gold, silver, and copper are all manufactured and approved by the system master, and he cannot shake their status at all.
"That, brother."
Seeing Cheng Mu's expression fluctuating between clear and rainy, Tianniao Jiu San asked cautiously: "I can contact more than 3,000 clan members, do I still need to recruit them?"
If possible, he also wants to reunite the Sky Bird Clan.
Keep having fun.
"trick!"
At this time, don’t be timid!
If you are scared, it really proves what Hongyu Jiu San said.
I am poor and cannot afford to raise a bird in the sky.
So Cheng Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Find me as many as you have."
There should be about one billion gold coins in circulation in the entire Tianqi country.
At least for a period of time, he could still support these birds.
The national war is about to begin.
If you are short of money, just go to other countries to grab it.
And it seems like someone is sending money right now!
