Chapter 708: Most Scared
They had come to this wasteland because they had been plotted against. In the beginning, most of them were unwilling, but they were forced to do so. Some of them even envied Scarface for being able to follow Dugu Shuang.
They all knew that there was more room for growth with Dugu Shuang. It was impossible not to be envious.
Didn’t they see that the upper echelons of the Dugu Family didn’t send anyone over?
Right now, they had just arrived and were stuffed with a pot of intermediate-level potion? Moreover, it was just a greeting gift? They had personally certified this pot of potion, but the scene felt so wrong! Most importantly, according to Xiao Ba, this potion was even personally refined by Su Huiqing?
At the thought of this, they couldn’t help but look at one another. Almost at the same time, they thought of Dugu Shuang. They were envious of Scarface because they undoubtedly had a lot of resources with Dugu Shuang. However, now, they looked at the pot of potion in their hands.
Compared to Su Huiqing, Dugu Shuang was nothing.
Dugu Shuang promised a bottle of potion every half a year. At that time, Xiao Qi was envious. However, looking at the pot of potion in his hand…
Fifth Brother and the rest instantly understood why Xiao Ba’s strength had soared in just half a month.
“Fifth Brother,” Xiao Qi said faintly, “am I dreaming? Pinch me… d.a.m.n, you are serious. It hurts!”
However, they didn’t think too much about it and just followed Xiao Ba to the beach.
Dugu Xiyuan was indeed here to look for Su Huiqing.
The reason why the wasteland in the north was called a wasteland was mainly that the road was not good. This place was only connected to a small piece of land overseas. If one wanted to go overseas, they had to go around that only pa.s.sageway.
The other areas were all waters, and the narrowest was 200 meters.
“Missy, I talked to the architect.” Dugu Xiyuan’s face was serious. “The only person overseas who can build a bridge is the team under the second daughter of the Shuang Family. However, I sent someone to negotiate with them today. They said that this is their technology and are unwilling to communicate with us. They are also unwilling to contract our bridge.”
There were many people present. Almost half of the people in Myriad Dharma City were present.
Upon hearing this, Qu Yan frowned. “There’s no one else overseas?”
“No.” Dugu Xiyuan sighed. “Building a bridge at sea requires a kind of concrete that isn’t swallowed by the sea. They also need to clear the mud at the bottom of the sea. Only their team has the machinery we need. I negotiated with them. Buying this machine requires 200,000 spirit coins. This technology is monopolized by them. Everyone has the same price.”
“200,000?” Apollo was shocked.
“It’s 200,000.” The person-in-charge beside Dugu Xiyuan continued to smile bitterly. “We are now in the early stages of building a city. Even 100,000 spirit coins is already beyond our budget. Moreover, the price of the machine is far from 200,000 spirit coins.”
Not to mention 200,000, before Su Huiqing came, they couldn’t even take out 2000 spirit coins.
Upon hearing this person-in-charge’s words, some people in the city couldn’t help but wipe their red eyes. This was the reality they had endured for a hundred years. They had wanted to build this bridge for a long time, but they really couldn’t take out so much money.
Thus, no foreign merchants came here because it was too slow to take a ship.
Actually, compared to the overseas center, they were almost twenty years behind.
Who didn’t wish for their hometown to become powerful?
However, all of this was too difficult for them. Dugu Xiyuan had once worked hard and was hot-blooded, but in the end, reality defeated him.
That was why he wanted to stop Su Huiqing after hearing her bold words.
Because he had worked hard before, he knew how difficult it was to realize this.
Su Huiqing listened to their words and turned around. Looking at these people, she could not help but raise her brows. “This little trouble made you retreat?”
“Missy, we…” The engineer in charge of this matter respected Su Huiqing very much and wanted to explain.
Su Huiqing took out her phone and glanced at them. “Why are you crying? If they don’t want to sell it, so be it. Let’s make one ourselves, okay?”
Make one themselves?
Before the engineer and Dugu Xiyuan could say anything, Su Huiqing had already made a call. “Uncle Chen…? It’s good that you are here. You know my coordinates. Build a factory here. Bring the person over. I will draw the blueprint. Alright, I will get Manager Dugu to wait for you here.”
With that, she hung up. Looking at the people behind her who were in a daze, she couldn’t help but raise her brows. “What are you standing there for? Building a factory requires a large s.p.a.ce for these machines.”
“Missy, you know building maps?” Dugu Xiyuan was stunned.
Su Huiqing glanced at him. “I don’t know, but I will try my best to learn. I know a little about architecture and will seek guidance from some teachers.”
With that, she turned to look at where the bridge should be. The Shuang Family monopolized it, right? She wanted to see how they would monopolize it even if their technology became worthless!
Su Huiqing didn’t just say that she had found many books on machinery.
Dugu Xiyuan looked at Su Huiqing flipping through her books and looked at every single one of them as part of her hard work in the city. He suddenly smiled. He was somewhat grateful to Dugu Shuang for turning them into the people she was most afraid of!
