Chapter 843: Lord of Arctic City

You can be brave, but not reckless.

Chu Fei thought for a long time and decided to "let go" of Chen Xuanlin for the time being, and to find a way to negotiate. Anyway, it was recorded this time, and I have the advantage in public opinion.

As for whether Chen Xuanlin would explode, Chu Fei felt that it was unlikely. After all, this was a negotiation based on strength.

The reason for considering negotiations was also determined by many factors.

Compared with other means of cultivation, Chu Fei has a deeper understanding of magic.

Whether it is the inheritance of magic research or the experience with the Jin tribe, Chu Fei has a deep understanding of magic. Not to mention that Chu Fei also mastered a few magical abilities such as magic fireballs.

Chu Fei believes that there are two kinds of cultivation methods in this world, which are naturally blessed with halos. One is the cultivation type of cultivation, and the other is the magic type of cultivation.

There are formations in cultivation, and there are magic;

There are spells in cultivation, and magic is all kinds of magic;

There are magic weapons in cultivation, and magic also has magic tools, etc.;

There are talismans in cultivation, and there are scrolls in magic;

Cultivation studies the way of heaven, and magic studies the arcane;

There are primordial spirits in cultivation, which communicate with heaven and earth; the spiritual power of magicians is also strong, and can trigger an "avalanche" of energy from heaven and earth.

In Chu Fei's understanding, magic is not as good as cultivation, probably because of life span, physical strength, and the fact that magic is particularly dependent on the outside world.

Magic is a typical way of winning with a small investment. As long as a "magic seed" is given, a large-scale energy "avalanche" can be triggered. The powerful magic forbidden spell can be called a human nuclear bomb.

The biggest weakness of magic is that it relies heavily on the energy environment of the outside world; but here in Venus is just right for magic.

In addition, magicians are very similar to big data practitioners. Magicians study arcane, and their spiritual power and computing power are probably equally extraordinary.

Chu Fei can use computing power to bully martial arts practitioners and cultivators, but he cannot take the risk of betting on the computing power of magicians.

It's not that the magician's computing power is stronger than that of the cultivator; it's because the computing power of the cultivator is more about comprehending the world, and the computing power is used elsewhere.

The essence of the cultivation is to pursue longevity and ascension; the magic is born to pursue destructive power. This is the essential difference between the two cultivation systems. The release method of magic is actually a large bomb.

Of course, Chu Fei also considered that Fu Changqing had just broken through the stage of transformation, and he might not have had time to consolidate his cultivation and his own abilities were not fully developed.

The cultivator has many advantages, but also has a particularly big disadvantage - slow progress. The price of a long life is slow progress.

And the progress of the magician is sometimes the same as the big data cultivation. Maybe he has solved a certain arcane problem, and his cultivation is instantly raised to the limit of that level.

Therefore, Chu Fei thinks that he should try to negotiate with Chen Xuanlin.

But the two sides are now completely screwed. If they want to negotiate, it's best to find a middleman. Sometimes as long as there is a middleman, everyone has room for easing. But the thing is, I don't know anyone, I don't know who to find!

Chu Fei rubbed his brows and silently watched the Jinsheng Group doing disaster relief.

This battle affected the lives of nearly tens of thousands of people, dozens of people died, hundreds of people were seriously injured, and most of them were slightly injured. Chu Fei could clearly hear the shrill cries in the ruins.

After thinking about it, Chu Fei sent a message to Jin Kaiwei: the dead will be supplemented with 20 years and 240 months of pensions in one go, calculated according to the month of their highest income in the past 12 months.

After sending the message, Chu Fei returned to his small villa again. After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of any way, so he could only complain to his master.

Chu Fei didn't think Wu Yong could give any advice, it was just a complaint. Subconsciously, Chu Fei felt that Wu Yong was no longer useful in this situation.

Unexpectedly, after Wu Yong heard Chu Fei's complaints, he said directly: "Why don't you visit the mayor of the North Pole City?"

"Ah..." Chu Fei didn't react for a while.

Wu Yong smiled faintly: "Is this Spark Mutual Aid Association in the Arctic City?"

Chu Fei nodded.

"Then the Arctic City is qualified to manage the Spark Mutual Aid Association!"

Chu Fei frowned slightly, "But the Spark Mutual Aid Association is an organization that usually ignores the city lord, and the city lord generally won't bother himself by managing them. We are two parallel lines."

The environment of this Morning Star is also filled with the chaotic atmosphere of the end of the world, and the strong are respected. If you don't have the ability, your wife will have sex with a pretty boy in front of you, and you have to help watch the door.

Wu Yong shook his head slightly, "You still don't understand. Yes, the current Lord of North Pole City cannot directly manage a strong organization like the Spark Mutual Aid Association, but it doesn't mean that the Lord doesn't want to!

The reason why they don't care is because they can't manage it, and the most important thing is that they don't have a name, and they dare not break the tacit understanding of a thousand years.

But what if there is a name?

First of all, the current Lord of the City should be newly appointed, and he urgently needs political achievements to prove himself!

Secondly, the current Spark Mutual Aid Association is mostly damaged and has no right to jump around. At this time, the Lord of the City just intervened to pick the fruits.

Thirdly, the recent Gaia Secret Realm incident has been rampant, and the Spark Mutual Aid Association is one of the three major organizations that know the details. Do you think the Lord of the City is willing to contact it?

What the Lord of the City needs now is a name. And you can give this name!

In summary, if you go to the Lord of North Pole City now, you are not bothering him, you are giving him a gift! Give him an unprecedented political achievement!

If you go to him, he will definitely welcome you very much.

But if you go to the Lord of North Pole City, you have to go through Jin Kaiwei's network of relationships."

Chu Fei stared at Wu Yong blankly and muttered, "Is political wisdom unrelated to cultivation?"

Wu Yong smiled and continued to study the potion; Principal Wu was too lazy to answer this stupid question.

Chu Fei immediately left the villa, found Jin Kaiwei, and told him his request. Jin Kaiwei did not hesitate to leave the disaster relief to his men, and then found the partner of Beiji City through the route of the business group.

Just an hour later, Jin Kaiwei smiled and brought good news.

As Wu Yong expected, after conveying Chu Fei's meaning and basic situation to the Lord of Beiji City, the Lord said that he had time now!

Jin Kaiwei took Chu Fei and went north on a new aircraft - the aircraft that Chen Sansheng came with.

During the flight, Jin Kaiwei introduced his partners to Chu Fei: Xingchuang Biotechnology Group in Beiji City, and its president Zhao Xinghua.

Xingchuang Biotechnology Group is a small group, but its assets are ten times that of Jinkaiwei's Jinsheng Group; it mainly deals in seeds, medicinal materials, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. Jinsheng Group purchases a batch of seeds, fertilizers, etc. from here every year.

In Qimingxing, agricultural groups live a relatively comfortable life. After all, food is the first necessity of the people. As long as the agricultural group does not commit suicide, it will generally develop very stably.

After flying for more than two hours, we landed on the roof of a group building in the south of Beiji City, which is Xingchuang Biotechnology Group.

There was already a fat man waiting on the roof.

Chu Fei saw this fat man as soon as he got off the plane, and couldn't help but take a few more glances. Although this guy is long sideways, his aura is not simple.

The fat man walked towards Chu Fei, smiling and enthusiastic.

Jin Kaiwei, who followed Chu Fei off the plane, took two quick steps and rushed to the fat man, saying hello from a distance, "Brother, thank you for your help."

The fat man laughed so hard that his eyes could not be seen: "I hope to have such trouble every day."

Then he bowed slightly to Chu Fei, "Meet Master Chu."

Jin Kaiwei introduced Chu Fei: "Master, this is the president of Xingchuang Biotechnology, Zhao Xinghua, a professional magician, level 7, 12.0 cultivation."

Magician? This magician is too fat, which is a bit ruining his professional image!

Chu Fei took two quick steps and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Zhao, nice to meet you. Along the way, someone praised Xingchuang Biotechnology to the sky in my ears."

The fat man Zhao Xinghua held Chu Fei's hands with both hands, and Chu Fei had to stretch out both hands. The four hands of the two people rushed together.

Zhao Xinghua said excitedly: "Xingchuang Biotechnology is good, but without the support of friends like Jinsheng Group, it would have starved to death.

In comparison, the master is shocking. When I saw the master's information, I doubted my life a little. After the city lord read the master's information, he kept saying that it was unbelievable."

Chu Fei smiled, "Then when we visit the city lord, let's exchange cultivation experience."

Zhao Xinghua was even more excited, holding Chu Fei's hands with both hands, shaking with excitement, "Thank you so much, Master. I have a son, and I'm worried about this guy's cultivation recently."

Chu Fei: "No problem. But let me make it clear first, I have no teaching experience, I usually tinker around, I'm not sure if I can help."

Exchange is no problem, more friends, more ways. But vaccinations must be taken.

Zhao Xinghua finally let go of Chu Fei's hand, "I understand, I understand. Master, let's go to the city lord's mansion first. The city lord has postponed several meetings and is waiting for the master."

"Okay."

Zhao Xinghua has already prepared the flying car, and the flying car went straight to the municipal center of the Arctic City. On the way, Zhao Xinghua briefly introduced the city lord: Li Yaofeng.

Chu Fei was communicating while looking at the tall buildings on both sides and observing the environment here.

The light of the "morning sun" fell, lighting up the glory of civilization. Although it is the North Pole, there is no ice and snow. Because the planet does not rotate, the climate on the twilight line is basically the same.

Speaking of which, if you only look at the city in front of you and only look at the surface, this is a sci-fi, orderly and civilized world.

Tall buildings rise from the ground, showing the brilliance of scientific and technological civilization under the morning sun; the layout between the tall buildings is reasonable, and every ray of light is used as much as possible. Some tall buildings have a layer of "green forest" every base.

Various flying cars shuttled, and under the tall buildings, where the sun could not reach, neon lights flashed, like a dream.

But when Chu Fei started to perceive, he saw a cruel world.

Where the sun could not reach, evil was going on. The sun here will never rise, which means that darkness will always be darkness.

The upper part of the city is sunny; the lower part is full of darkness.

It is hard to imagine that in the same building, there are laughter and joy, clinking glasses, and eternal light above, but below are numb workers, gangs, street girls, beggars, and this is a place where the sun will never reach.

Just by sensing it casually, Chu Fei "saw" gunfights, death, slaves, debt collection...

Chu Fei was very confused. These guys who are high up, aren't they afraid that the people below will blow up the load-bearing beams?

However, after just sensing for a moment, Chu Fei found the answer: the surroundings of key positions such as load-bearing beams are all residential buildings!

The buildings and load-bearing columns here are separated. It can be seen that there are overhead bridges and bridge piers below; high-rise buildings are built on the bridge deck and bridge piers.

This kind of building structure itself divides the world into the world of "on the bridge/light" and "under the bridge/darkness"!

Then, Chu Fei saw the municipal center. This is a floating building. Or a spaceship. This is a building on a spaceship.

Below the municipal center is a park with fountains and neon lights. At this time, some people are walking in it, laughing and talking.

The flying car slowly landed on the low building in front of the municipal center, which is actually the square and parking lot in front of the municipal center.

Below the low building is a residential area with bright lights. This is considered an inner ring, and it is not bad overall.

There is already a waiter waiting at the entrance of the parking lot. After confirming Zhao Xinghua and Chu Fei, the waiter "forgot" Jin Kaiwei and walked forward with Chu Fei and the other two.

Jin Kaiwei followed behind Chu Fei with a bad look on his face. However, this waiter is not simple either, he is also a level 6 master; so Jin Kaiwei decided to temporarily forgive the other party's rudeness.

After entering the door and registering, he then entered the building, took the elevator to the top floor, and entered an "extra-large" office with a glass dome.

The light of the "morning sun" fell in the hall, and the colorful flowers and plants swayed gently in the surrounding air-conditioning wind. A middle-aged man was holding a spray bottle, sprinkling a few crystal clear water droplets, which fell into a piece of obviously low flowers and plants.

There are two rows of desks in the office, with more than a dozen people working.

A beautiful waitress opened the door and bowed slightly.

The middle-aged man put down the spray bottle and walked to the door slowly. When Chu Fei approached, Zhao Xinghua greeted him first and then introduced the city lord to Chu Fei.

Chu Fei: "Sorry to bother the city lord."

The middle-aged city lord Li Yaofeng smiled: "Welcome, welcome, no interruption, this is what the city lord should do. Please sit down."

The waitress had prepared tea. Li Yaofeng sat down first and invited Chu Fei again, and then Zhao Xinghua and Jin Kaiwei sat down in turn.

The waitress first sent the tea to Chu Fei, then to Li Yaofeng, then to Zhao Xinghua, and finally to Jin Kaiwei.

Jin Kaiwei whispered a thank you and stopped talking. In Jiangkou City, Jin Kaiwei was one of the three giants; but here, he is just a little brother. I feel a little uncomfortable.

There are staff members ready next to him, with three cameras and three stenographers, recording in all directions.

Chu Fei took the initiative to speak, "City Lord, I came here today to complain about the Spark Mutual Aid Association."

As he spoke, Chu Fei's face became "wronged": "It is said that when you sit at home, disasters come from the sky. I used to think it was a bit exaggerated, but I didn't expect that I would actually encounter such a problem, and it was five times in a row!"

Li Yaofeng looked serious, nodded slightly, and motioned Chu Fei to continue speaking, and he pretended to listen - Chu Fei had submitted the general situation, but it did not prevent everyone from continuing to act.

Besides, the cameras and stenographers next to them were not for decoration, they were used to record the meeting, and they would be broadcast on the news later.

Chu Fei told the story:

"This is what happened. About a month ago, I made a deal with President Jin Kaiwei and gave him a piece of super-dimensional metal. Jin Kaiwei decided to forge a new flying sword.

Jin Kaiwei heard that the swordsmith Longjiang in Black Dragon City had a good reputation and excellent skills, so he took the super-dimensional metal I gave him and some of his own super-dimensional metal and made an appointment with Longjiang. He didn't want Longjiang to turn hostile on the spot, not only to take the super-dimensional metal, but also to eradicate Jin Kaiwei.

When he was imprisoned, Jin Kaiwei threw the super-dimensional metal around, which gave him a chance to escape.

This is the cause of the incident."

After a pause, Chu Fei added: "Later we learned that Longjiang had joined the Spark Mutual Aid Association at this time, and this was to collect super-dimensional metals for the Spark Mutual Aid Association and forge the so-called Horcruxes."

Li Yaofeng nodded slightly.

Chu Fei continued: "After Jin Kaiwei came back, he recuperated and inquired about Long Jiang's situation, wanting to seek justice. At this time, Jin Kaiwei did not know that Long Jiang had joined the Spark Mutual Aid Association, and his action of inquiring about the news was leaked.

Jin Kaiwei looked for Long Jiang again. Unexpectedly, there were seven level six practitioners ambushing this time. They bullied Jin Kaiwei and drove Jin Kaiwei to lead the way for them to find the source of the super-dimensional metal, which was me-at least these seven level six practitioners thought so.

At this time, Jin Kaiwei was in danger, and the seven people were coming fiercely. I had no choice but to take action.

The battle broke out in the suburbs of Jiangkou City. After a hard battle, Jin Kaiwei and I were seriously injured, but we captured four of the invading enemies, killed two, and only one escaped.

After interrogating the captives, I learned that they were all from the Spark Mutual Aid Association, and were ordered to collect super-dimensional metals at all costs and by all means. In order to explore the so-called "secret realm", that is, the present In the Gaia Secret Realm.

When I heard that it was the Spark Mutual Aid Association, I felt that I couldn't afford to offend them, so I wanted to negotiate.

So I took the captives and Jin Kaiwei north, ready to negotiate face to face with the Spark Mutual Aid Association.

When we arrived at Chaoyang Mountain, 20 kilometers north of Jiangkou City, three missiles flew over; after we finally shot down the missiles, the other party actually attacked us with electromagnetic guns. Until now, we don't know who the comers are or why they attacked us.

Then the aircraft approached us, and a Divine Transformation cultivator jumped directly from the aircraft and attacked us with a tough attitude.

For this inexplicable attack, I naturally had to resist. And facing the Divine Transformation cultivator, I couldn't hold back. As a result, I accidentally killed the other party.

At this time, I realized that the comer was actually Fu Changqing, the third vice president of the Spark Mutual Aid Association. "

The three stenographers were recording, but their shoulders occasionally shrugged? The waitress's hand was unstable and the tea spilled! And what are the three photographers doing with their eyebrows!

Chu Fei quickly glanced around and continued to speak with a look of "grievance and helplessness":

"I was so scared at the time that I quickly used a captive's communication bracelet to contact the secretary of the Spark Mutual Aid Association, and then contacted the president Chen Xuanlin.

Although Chen Xuanlin's attitude was not good at the time, he did think there was a misunderstanding between us and expressed his intention to negotiate.

We agreed on a time. The first vice president of the Spark Mutual Aid Association, Chen Sansheng, the second vice president, Zhang Qiyu, and two directors were masters of level 8 and 13.0, and a level 6 master who had escaped before.

During the negotiation, I did not make any unreasonable demands, nor did I try to provoke the other party; on the contrary, I lowered my posture. I can provide the video recording of the negotiation at that time.

But halfway through the negotiation, I was I coughed when I was injured. As a result, Chen Sansheng and Zhang Qiyu attacked brazenly, and two directors of the Spark Mutual Aid Association also attacked.

This attack affected half of Jiangkou City. The headquarters building of the Jinsheng Group collapsed, and a large number of houses collapsed within a radius of three kilometers. Hundreds of people were killed and injured, tens of thousands of people were affected, and the direct economic losses were no less than 10 billion!

Faced with the unreasonable behavior of the Spark Mutual Aid Association, I was completely angry and had to use forbidden techniques. As a result, I accidentally killed two vice presidents and two directors. Only one guy saw the opportunity and ran away.

After this battle, my foundation was severely damaged, and I am afraid it has affected my subsequent practice. The entire Jinsheng Group also suffered heavy losses.

But I think of the Spark Mutual Aid Association We really have no way to deal with the unreasonableness of the Xinghuo Mutual Aid Association. After I found out that the Xinghuo Mutual Aid Association is under the jurisdiction of the North Pole City, I came here with a thick face.

City Lord, today I want to file a real-name complaint against the Xinghuo Mutual Aid Association.

The complaint is about the Xinghuo Mutual Aid Association's plundering, wanton destruction of the urban environment, disregard for human life, and underworld style.

Request the city lord to deal seriously with the Xinghuo Mutual Aid Association. "

City Lord Li Yaofeng remained calm, no, his face was slightly gloomy, "From what you said, the Xinghuo Mutual Aid Association is indeed a black sheep. But you know, as the city lord, I can't just listen to your one-sided opinion, this needs to be investigated."

Chu Fei looked "helpless" and took out a few memory cards, "City Lord, I have a video here."

Li Yaofeng looked calm "Well, let me take a look first. By the way, I have an appointment with Chen Xuanlin, the president of the Spark Mutual Aid Association, and there are still seven hours.

How about you come with me and we can confront each other face to face?"

Chu Fei "hesitated and struggled" for a while, then gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll trouble the city lord. It's just... that... the Spark Mutual Aid Association is so unreasonable, will they take action?"

This time, Li Yaofeng couldn't stand it anymore, his face twitched a little, the city lord rubbed his face, and then tried his best to say calmly: "Don't worry, I will try my best."

Chu Fei looked scared: "Then I hope the Spark Mutual Aid Association can be more rational."

Li Yaofeng:...

You have killed all three vice presidents, and you hope others will be more rational? The city lord said: Today is really a small knife pulling the butt - open your eyes.

Li Yaofeng rubbed his cheek again, "By the way, I saw Zhao Xinghua called you 'Master', I wonder what special skills you are good at?"

Chu Fei was modest: "Nothing special, just some potions."

"Oh?" The city lord became interested, "Can you tell me in detail?"

Chu Fei wanted to roll his eyes, I don't believe you haven't investigated me. But since it's acting, of course I have to act the whole set.

Chu Fei showed a little pride, but on the surface he was somewhat falsely modest: "There are not many things, in fact, they are mainly for my own use.

The best potions that have been studied for the time being are three kinds of recovery potions for big data cultivation, targeting 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0 respectively. They are also effective for other practitioners.

Currently, 12.0 recovery potions can be refined, but the cost is too high.

There are also some other kinds of potions, but they are not as proficient as recovery potions."

The city lord became interested, "Since you can refine 12.0 potions, do you know all the flowers in this office, 'Master'? Come on, I'll take you around."

The two stood up, and the others followed behind them.

Chu Fei looked at them one by one, and he didn't recognize most of them; a few knew them, but he was not sure what the names of the places were.

Fortunately, Chu Fei didn't need to speak, and the city lord introduced them himself. In fact, the medicinal materials that can be cultivated here are not high-level medicinal materials, but the flowers they bloom are quite beautiful.

While introducing, the group slowly came to the place where they had just watered. The flowers and plants here are obviously much lower than those around them, as if they were just transplanted, and none of them are blooming.

Chu Fei is very good at dealing with things. Seeing the city lord stop here, he immediately asked: "Why are these so short here?"

The city lord was silent for a while before saying: "The previous city lord accidentally slept here for three days, crushing a lot of flowers and plants."

Chu Fei: ...

This sentence contains a lot of information.

The general meaning is: the previous city lord was killed here, but the body was not found until three days later? !

Chu Fei couldn't help but think of a piece of information: the previous city lord was assassinated, and the Arctic City offered a reward of 10,000 yuan for clues. This price is really laughable. A city lord is worth 10,000 yuan?

But why did the current city lord bring this up?

After thinking for a while, Chu Fei understood-trade! Pull in! Stand in line!

If you, Chu Fei, stand on my side, I will help you solve the matter of the Spark Self-Help Association!

There is no hatred without reason in this world, and of course there is no love without reason. If you want to get Li Yaofeng's help, you must at least express your position.

So, should you take sides? The previous city lord died in an unclear manner!

Chu Fei has some understanding of the situation of Venus Star. He bought so much intelligence before, but it was not for show.

As far as Chu Fei knows, Venus Star's "immediate superiors" are three major groups: Mercury Group, Jinyue Group, and Xinghai Development Group.

The two largest cities on Mercury, Antarctic City and Arctic City, are the products of the joint participation of the three major groups. But the three major groups are very smart and never intervene directly, but manage the city through so-called "agents".

Well, it's actually outsourcing. Different areas, different industries, service industries, etc. in the city are split up and outsourced to large and small business groups. The outsourcing method is: bidding.

The three major groups can just sit back and enjoy the achievements. If the outsourcing company really causes resentment from the heavens and the people, then deal with the outsourcing company - it's very similar to the position of eunuchs in ancient times.

After thousands of years of running-in, the overall situation is now stable, and there are very few moths.

The exchanges between the three major groups and Venus Star are also strictly commercial exchanges through various outsourcing companies. It's not that the three major groups are so kind, but the competition among the three companies is balanced.

It should be said that maintaining such a special structure of three groups is a unique administrative structure of the Venus Star and even the Tenglong Galaxy. From top to bottom, it is a three-three structure. For example, Jiangkou City has three groups.

Among them, the city lord, deputy city lord, director and other city management positions of the North Pole City and the South Pole City are represented by representatives of various large outsourcing companies.

If you want to run for a certain position, you need to look at the transaction price of the outsourcing company during the bidding. Only after reaching the corresponding passing line can you be eligible to run for the corresponding position.

The election is generally held every five years. If a person dies or resigns, the election will be held in advance.

The election is mainly through speeches, and past experiences are examined, and finally everyone votes.

Among them, the three major groups have about half of the votes, and all other outsourcing companies are also calculated according to the transaction price of the bidding. For every 10 million yuan of assets, they have one vote. Those who are less than that are not counted, even if they are 9.99 million.

The city lord selected in this way will not have a bad foundation.

But how could such a city lord die in such a muddle?

The water is a bit deep.

So, should I choose a team?

Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Fei's mind, and then he made a decision - take a gamble!

He now has enough self-protection ability and is qualified to choose a team, instead of being "forced" to choose a team!

Thinking of this, Chu Fei slowly spoke: "The previous city lord was too lazy, and no one came to call him when he slept in. I wonder if there is such a position around the city lord?"

Li Yaofeng slowly turned his head to look at Chu Fei, with some surprise in his eyes. He really didn't expect Chu Fei to give an answer and a clear answer now.
