"Rescue? This word is too heavy and too big. My personal ability is very small, so it is inappropriate for me to use a word like rescue."
Xu Le declined Zhou Bi tactfully. For this guy who usually idled around and introduced him to a high-end lady from Lighthouse every night when they were together...
To be honest, Xu Le's impression is not bad, after all, they really took you to play.
But if he agreed to save the lighthouse just because of a few words... let alone him, even a strong man like Chi Xiao would not be able to promise easily.
"Congressman Zhou Bi, you'd better get up. The rescue you are talking about is not something that can be achieved by personal ability, and I am too weak."
Zhou Bi did not get up immediately at this time. He knelt on the ground and thought for a while.
"My expression just now was too abrupt, but I really think that you are the one who has the ability to save the lighthouse, and some things have nothing to do with strength.
Whether it is the creation of new energy or the production of new weapons, I personally believe that these are things that can change the world structure.
And I think your strength is not bad, even... just like this tree."
Zhou Bi didn't say it clearly in the end, but the meaning was already obvious.
His thinking is extremely clear and the content he expresses is also organized.
Just the way he was lying on the ground shivering, and his tightly organized thoughts, felt incompatible.
After confirming what he meant, Jin Mingzhu on the side knelt down as well.
"What Zhou Bi expressed is what I want to express. My thoughts are not as clear as Zhou Bi's, but I completely trust him.
So...please ask Councilor Hui Le to help a group of lighthouses. Today's lighthouses are in danger."
"Okay, okay, can you two get up first? The way you are now, your posture is too low."
"People from the lower town of Beacon never care about their appearance. I even ate shit in the smelly ditch..." Zhou Bi's whole body was frozen, but his mouth was even harder.
Xu Le:……
Okay, you are strong!
"If a leader keeps a low profile, he may harm the collective interests of the entire city or be persecuted."
Jin Mingzhu turned to look at Zhou Bi. At this time, only Zhou Bi could answer this question soberly.
"If it were an era with only human society and no external oppression, what we are doing now would indeed affect the interests of the entire city.
But things are different now. The biggest oppression of mankind now is not the humans in other cities, but weirdness, darkness, and the black tide.
Only cooperation can achieve a win-win situation. The lighthouse does not have strong technology and does not have the level of taboos like the Red Moon Temple, but the surroundings of the lighthouse are very wealthy and have enough resources, minerals and coal.
And the thing you need most is population."
When he heard this, Xu Le couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
What Zhou Bi said is a way of looking at the essence through phenomena.
This guy is truly a talent.
There were really not many people who could clearly see his purpose, and Old Moen was the only one, so Old Moen stopped him.
Li Wen also noticed it, but Li Wen chose to support him unconditionally.
Now Zhou Bi can see it, and compared to Li Wen and Moen, Zhou Bi has less information.
He only found out this from the previous meeting with the parliamentarians and from his daily play with Xu Le. In a sense, his judgment was sharper than the previous two.
Because Zhou Bi has the fewest channels to obtain his own information.
Such talents come from Dingtaoxia City. Xu Le can only say that the world is fair and talents can appear anywhere.
"You know it very well?"
This time, Xu Le took the initiative to pull Zhou Bi up and did not let him continue to kneel.
Although Jin Mingzhu still had some questions to think about clearly, she was not stupid. Knowing that Xu Le's attitude had become much more friendly and gentle.
Cooperation is possible.
Zhou Bi shivered twice as he just stood up, but he immediately started to get excited again.
"Actually, the quality of the people in our Dangtaixia city is really good, but they are a bit poor, but their ideological consciousness must be sufficient, blah blah..."
"So what do you want?" Xu Le asked with a smile.
"As I said before, energy and weapons, to be precise, cheap energy and cheap weapons."
Zhou Bi remembered that the energy price offered by Xu Le was very low at that time. If the lighthouse could get an energy price of 1 yuan...
"Okay, I can promise you energy and weapons deals."
"What about the price?" Jin Mingzhu on the side asked.
Xu Le knew that this was what they cared about the most, but he didn't answer immediately. He just turned his head and looked at the soul fireball behind him.
"The price of energy is about 30 cents."
Weekly comparison:?
Jin Mingzhu:???
"Member Xu Le is not kidding, right? This price..."
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Jin Mingzhu's mouth twitched. According to the original price of the moon stone of 9 yuan, the energy price of 3 cents is equivalent to a reduction of 30 times, oh no, 29 times...
What the fuck?
What exactly has Zion researched in the past two years?
Can technological research and development results really reach such an outrageous level?
"When will the energy supply be available? Now the lighthouse is in chaos, and we can't wait."
"I can supply you with energy now. Don't worry about that. All you need to do is maintain the stability of the entire lighthouse."
Jin Mingzhu still wanted to speak, but Zhou Bi stopped her at this time.
"Brother Xu Le, do you have any other needs? If so, please tell us and we will definitely get it done."
Zhou Bi spoke very fully, which made Xu Le look at him again.
This guy can really go to the extreme in order to achieve cooperation.
And he seemed to have read his own mind. In order to obtain the population and the stability of the entire city, there was no need to exploit him at all.
For him, talent is the greatest wealth.
As for energy? Nothing more than burning weird stuff.
"Just sort out the new concept of the lighthouse and then get the city running again. You don't need to worry too much about other issues."
"Then... what about the Kuroshio? The Kuroshio is not going to last long. There are only less than 2 months left. The current situation..."
"Before the Kuroshio breaks out, I will help you. All you have to do is maintain stability."
"Understood."
The two sides then discussed many details about urban cooperation.
When Zhou Bi's body was almost frozen, he managed to hold on without a word.
His nose and tears were frozen, and his hair was white as snow. The temperature here was indeed not suitable for Zhou Bi to stay here any longer.
Xu Le did it on purpose, and Zhou Bi knew it very well.
It is precisely because Xu Le needs a lighthouse that he needs two candidates who are relatively easy to control.
Zhou Bi and Jin Mingzhu are actually not very good.
Jin Mingzhu is very powerful. Although she has been hiding it, Xu Le, standing on the soul tree, knows very well that Jin Mingzhu's strength is not trivial.
Such people will never be inferior to others.
As for Zhou Bi, although he is very slippery, he is determined, has quick and clear thinking, and is also a difficult character to deal with.
There are certain risks in cooperating with such a candidate, but now Xu Le has no better choice.
"The development of the twin cities requires our joint efforts, so I wish us happy cooperation in the days to come."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate..." Zhou Bi breathed a sigh of relief and almost passed by.
Jin Mingzhu quickly grabbed him,
After the negotiation was over, Xu Le sent the two of them off.
It's really too cold here. Zhou Bi may freeze to death if he continues to stay here.
He needs a lighthouse, so this city should not be destroyed here.
After the two left, Ding Ke jumped into Xu Le's arms and felt Xu Le's touch. One person and one cat sat quietly on the tree, looking at the entire lighthouse and even the entire world.
"Climbing high and looking far away is indeed a very artistic thing."
"If you fall from the tree, there may be no artistic conception, meow."
Xu Le smiled and put his hand on the soul tree. The whole tree shook violently at this moment.
…
after one day.
"Ah!~The tree is going to fall!" Countless people exclaimed and screamed.
Because the tree of souls is really crumbling right now.
As the tree of souls swayed, the lighthouse that finally calmed down fell into chaos again.
Zhou Bi and Jin Mingzhu looked at the swaying soul tree above their heads. Let alone ordinary people, even they felt a little nervous when they saw such a situation.
"That guy Xu Le, we just agreed before, what is he doing now?"
"Although that guy is a bit weird, I think his intention to cooperate is no problem. Let's take a look first and see what this tree is like."
The flames injected new power into the soul tree, and the tree also penetrated part of the ground at this time.
The entire lighthouse was shaken by earthquakes. The magnitude of the earthquake was so large that it even destroyed some buildings in the lower city and caused a large number of houses to be damaged.
However, Zhou Bi and Jin Mingzhu also responded immediately.
Jin Mingzhu maintains the army and ensures order and security in the city.
Zhou Bi is guiding people to migrate to the upper city.
Many wealthy people in the upper city have left. They originally occupied a large amount of land. After these people leave, their houses can be provided for many ordinary people in the lower city to live in.
Although this will also cause some uneven distribution and chaos, it is still much better than dying in the lower city.
Rumble!
When it was time to go up the next night, some huge plants quietly emerged from the ground.
These plant rhizomes puncture the moat area and connect the entire lower and upper parts of the lighthouse.
And during this time, new branches are growing on the rhizomes.
They form some guiding doors, and then extend around to become some protective spikes.
This change completely transformed the lighthouse's architectural style.
The lighthouse became a city on trees, but the main body of the tree is still hidden underground, and no one has discovered it yet.
…
A few days later, Xu Le and his party had boarded the airship leaving the lighthouse.
He handed over a large number of ancient Yinduo technology crystals to Zhou Bi, and also left behind some weapons.
And told Zhou Bi and Jin Mingzhu that this black tide is an opportunity for the rise of Lighthouse.
If the black tide can be successfully crossed, the lighthouse will be reborn.
Under the setting sun, looking at the airship gradually disappearing, Zhou Bi pinched Jin Mingzhu's butt.
"Lao Jin, what exactly did Xu Le do?"
"Fuck you, call me Lao Jin again and I will castrate you."
"I just said a few words to you and you're still angry." Zhou Bi ignored Jin Mingzhu's rampage and even added fuel to the fire.
Jin Mingzhu's chest heaved for a while, and then he moved his gaze to the ground.
Slowly squatting down, gently stroking the roots that sprouted from the ground.
"Xu Le is quietly transforming this city, changing its essence and foundation."
"What is he going to do?"
"have no idea."
"Then do we need to give the lighthouse a new name, like City of Trees or something?"
"Do you also think we will grow on trees in the future?" Jin Mingzhu was a little surprised.
"It's not just me. Anyone with any brains can see that the ground is rising...
The question now is, how big would this tree be if it were really possible to support the lighthouse?"
Jin Mingzhu put her hand on the rhizome again, and the burning sensation in her soul immediately hit her.
"Did you go to school when you were a child?" Jin Mingzhu asked suddenly.
"Am I looking for trouble?" Zhou Bi, who had never been very angry, was actually offended by these words because he had never been to school.
Jin Mingzhu just nodded:
"People who haven't gone to school are like this, they don't have much knowledge."
"Gungun, if you have anything to say, please tell me."
"Legend has it that in the far east, on the endless ocean, there grows a tree that supports the world. That tree is the original tree of ancient Yinduo.
It is also the original goal of human beings, but now human beings simply do not have the ability to set foot in that place."
"Does it have anything to do with the lighthouse thing?"
"You think, if the tree under the lighthouse keeps growing, is it possible that it will become as huge as the ancient Yinduo tree?"
When Zhou Bi heard this, he finally narrowed his eyes.
"I feel like I'm involved in something big..."
…
On the airship, Xu Le's left hand circled gently, and the calamity of the sky was like a free-flying ring, wrapped around his hand.
"I'm finally going back."
Although he was about to return to his own territory, Xu Le did not look very happy.
When the Golden Tree was freed from the will of the roots of the Ancient Yinduo Mother Tree, the Tribulation of the Sky was re-melted by those four forces.
This also made Xu Le understand the meaning of the ring.
【The real master has the power to control the sky.】
Unless the dragon dies, he can never become the true owner of the ring.
This is different from the Tribulation of Light. The Forging of Light is really broken.
I don’t know if he will be resurrected, but at least he is dead for the time being.
"So, what happens next..."
"Air strike!"
Xu Le's thoughts were interrupted by the guard. Ai Li, who had been staying by Xu Le's side, immediately got up and went to check.
Then the team of law enforcers and guards discovered that it was a bunch of strange flying birds that were trying to attack the airship.
The airship has blocked their view, and now it looks like there is really some trouble.
At this moment, Xu Le turned the Sky Tribulation slightly, and then said to Ai Li:
"Okay, it's been solved. Don't waste time. Help me draw up a document before returning to Zion."
Ai Li was stunned, wondering how Xu Le solved those weird things in the sky.
But since Xu Le said it, it must have been solved.
"What kind of documentation do you need to draw up?"
"Ask Lighthouse for all their current steel, copper, and rare earth mining supplies and ship them to Zion."
As soon as Xu Le finished speaking, those flying half-human, half-bird deformed species fell from the sky one after another.
It's like they are weightless.
When these monsters fell to the ground, some plant roots immediately sprouted from the ground, splitting branches and piercing into the monsters' bodies.
