Driven out of my home in the apocalypse, I built a fortress in return.

Chapter 212 The Busy City Lord's Mansion! Cleaning Master Slime!

Xiao Yu also wanted to get the fifth and sixth-tier enhancement pills as soon as possible.

After all... we're about to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

As many people have said, the Beast Mountain Range is a forbidden zone for humans, and it is extremely dangerous.

This time, it's still about vying for a large mine, and it's very likely that a war will break out with Black Soil City.

However, the combat strength of high-ranking officials in Longcheng, such as Honglian and Chu Ling Shuang, is generally not high enough.

However, after glancing at the girl's mental state, he shook his head.

"There's no rush! Take a day off first!"

After saying that, Xiao Yu waved and led everyone away. Then he looked at Chu Ling Shuang and said, "I will give you the blueprints and methods for making crossbows later. You should make a batch of crossbows as soon as possible and equip them for the city defense soldiers."

His plan was for the five archer seeds to continue using bows.

In Chenlong's special operations team, the remaining members all continued to use bows.

These people have the best archery skills among all the people in Dragon City, and they have a lot of room for improvement.

Iron Man's special second team and everyone else switched to using crossbows.

In that case, at least several dozen powerful crossbows would need to be forged, and they would only need to be forged into 3rd or 4th tier quasi-divine weapons.

They also created new armor and swords for everyone in the special forces team...

Moreover, with the new equipment, several live-fire drills will be conducted.

A moment later, in Xiao Yu's private forging room.

"Lord City Lord, I will make the arrangements immediately!" After receiving the blueprints and manufacturing method for the crossbow, Chu Ling Shuang nodded solemnly and hurried to the forging area to arrange everything.

It's easy for the city lord to forge divine weapons, but it's very difficult for other blacksmiths to forge near-divine weapons.

Forging a complete set of quasi-divine weapons for dozens of people would take her and the others in the forging area at least a month!

Therefore, she had to make the arrangements first and prepare immediately.

"Red Lotus!" After finishing everything, Xiao Yu called out subconsciously.

I want to ask Honglian if there's anything else I urgently need to take care of.

As the city lord, he is now busy with endless things every day.

But... everything has to be prioritized; things that aren't urgent can be done slowly.

In the past, Honglian had always served as his personal assistant, taking care of everything for him very well.

But now... looking around, I couldn't see that fiery red figure.

"Brother Yu, I'm here!" A clear voice rang out.

Then we saw Xinglan running out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

Although he was wearing an apron, his face was still covered in soot from the bottom of the pot, and he seemed a little flustered.

At her feet, the slime hopped over to Xiao Yu and rubbed affectionately against his leg.

"I told you not to be impatient, look at you..." Xiao Yu picked up the slime and looked at the blue-haired girl with amusement, her cute kitten-like face, and reached out to brush the soot off the bottom of the pot.

"Isn't there a slime? Ask it to help you with anything."

The cooking and logistics work at the city lord's mansion has always been the responsibility of Xinglan and Slime.

Because slimes can purify everything and clean up all trash.

When it can't handle one, it splits into ten or a hundred clones.

In short, with slime around, you can clean up instantly without needing any cleaners.

and,

When Xinglan cooks, the slime can do everything from washing vegetables and pots to handing out utensils.

After all... it doesn't have a fixed shape; it can grow arms that are tens or hundreds of meters long, and it can hand her any tableware she wants.

After cooking, Xinglan doesn't want to clean up, but slime can clean it up in a second.

This is why Xinglan could manage the entire city lord's mansion all by herself.

Because of the slime, one slime is worth dozens or even hundreds of people!

"Hehe... Little Shii is very powerful, but it can't cook!" Xinglan affectionately pinched the slime's little face and shook her head as she spoke.

Slimes are great in every way, except they can't cook.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu looked at the blue-haired girl in shock, then looked down at the slime in his arms. Seeing the two red hearts in the little guy's eyes, his expression instantly turned bitter after hearing Xing Lan's words.

It must be speechless.

It's a pet!

How can you teach it to cook?

"Hehe, I'll talk to you later. I need to finish cooking quickly so I can help my sister." Xinglan giggled, pinched the slime's face again, and went back into the kitchen to get busy.

During the recent trade conference, everyone was very busy, and it was basically impossible to have lunch together.

So... normally Xinglan would prepare the meals first and deliver them to everyone, who would then eat at their workstations.

Only at night, after the various factions have dispersed, can the people of the City Lord's Mansion gather for a short while.

However, dinner is mainly for summarizing the day's work, taking stock of the energy stones acquired, and so on...

"Brother, I'm back. Did you want to see me?" As the two were talking, they saw Honglian walk in.

"Are you done with your work?" Xiao Yu asked with concern, noticing the fine beads of sweat and slight fatigue on Honglian's pretty face.

Xinglan quickly stepped forward and handed her sister a cup of Night Dew to soothe her throat.

"Brother, I'm so sorry. I haven't finished dealing with matters at the Hall of Merit yet, so I couldn't come back immediately. Did I delay your business?" Honglian smiled wryly and shook her head apologetically.

Xiao Yu plans his daily schedule and affairs in advance, and she reminds him of everything.

However, there were already thousands of people working in the factories and workshops of Dragon City, and during the trade fair, there were even more people going out to work from the inner city.

Everyone's salary needs to be recalculated, but others don't understand or can't figure it out.

It can only be done by her and Xiaoyu.

Also, with just a few hundred people joining, even basic necessities like food, drink, and restroom facilities are becoming problems...

These past few days, Honglian has been spending all her time in the Hall of Merit, so she inevitably has to neglect Xiao Yu.

"My business isn't urgent. You've really had a hard time these past few days!" Hearing Honglian's words, Xiao Yu felt a pang of embarrassment and could only offer words of comfort.

Normally, Honglian is always asked to do things, whether there's anything to do or not, but people forget that Honglian is all alone and can't be in two places at once.

The business in Longcheng is getting bigger and bigger, with several hundred more people joining after this trade fair.

These people now live in Longcheng, and their basic needs such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation need to be taken into consideration.

There are very few literate people in Longcheng now, and most of those who are literate do so only with great difficulty.

The only people who can truly help Honglian handle important matters are Xiaoyu and Yingzi.

The others...can't even recognize a few names, and can only do the most basic work.

"Alright, eat this to replenish your energy." Seeing that Honglian was a little tired, Xiao Yu reached out and grabbed a mulberry, stuffing it into Honglian's mouth.

"Sister, Brother Yu, the food is ready, please eat first." At this moment, Xinglan's voice rang out from the kitchen, and then she brought out plate after plate of delicious dishes.

She herself was holding ceramic bowls, filling them with delicious food.

I'm going to deliver it to Chu Ling Shuang, who's busy in the forging area.

As for the four auspicious days and the seven killings and three women in June, they will take time to come back for a meal.
