Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 81 Respect for Originality
Wang Luo did not expect Gu Shishi to respond positively to his request for cooperation.

But he didn't need a positive response from the other party.

Because on this issue, if you don’t object, you actually agree.

This sentence may sound a bit understated, but it is also very realistic, because when Wang Luo asked about Mr. Bo, Gu Shishi gave a very serious answer.

"If you want to ask Bo Xiao, he is the senior deacon of Jinlanwu and his business ability is quite outstanding. However, his business scope is not in Stone Street. He is only occasionally interested in the food here... Are there any questions?"

Wang Luo said: "The problem is that apart from copying the information in the Jinlanwu directory, you didn't provide a single word of useful information. Do you know that he has met with Zhang Yu many times recently?"

Gu Shishi couldn't help but frown: "He and Zhang Yu? It's not surprising. He was originally responsible for the Zhang family's industrial consulting in Jianmu District..."

"Every time I mention you when we meet, I affectionately call you Shishi."

Gu Shishi showed an expression as if she had drunk contaminated water: "It's so disgusting! But he is a popular person under Gu Xi. He relies on favors and is arrogant. It is a tradition to not know the inferiority of others..."

"I even learned the information about the secret guards of Bolan Village early on."

"Oh, the confidentiality management at Jinlanwu has always been a mess. As long as you get the favor of the Gu family, you can see all the internal references that shouldn't be seen..."

Wang Luo nodded: "That's good, then I have no other questions. From now on, you can just treat Mr. Bo as an ordinary senior deacon of Jinlanwu."

"Okay, I get it! Are you sure there is something wrong with him, right? I will find a way to check it later, and that's it for everyone else. Since he is from Jinlanwu and has a complete set of information, it would be better if he wants to investigate the loopholes. Easier...is there anything else?"

Wang Luo said: "What will happen next in Rongcheng? Where does the opportunity in Stone Street come from?"

Gu Shishi was stunned when asked: "You... you don't know?"

Wang Luo said calmly: "I know nothing."

"Then you still spoke so righteously at the Jade Master Gathering!? Did you make everything up out of thin air!? You, you have never thought about what if the beautiful future you promised to everyone does not exist at all. manage?"

Wang Luo continued calmly: "Pass the responsibility to you."

"..." Gu Shishi had to take a deep breath to calm down her emotions, "It seems that you have some solid evidence for saying that you are good at off-board moves. However, if you think about it carefully, there may be traces to follow. After all, it can drive With so many people focusing on Stone Street in a short period of time, there must be huge benefits. You actually said something very good at that rally. Words can deceive people, but the flow of money cannot. Some people still do things. If you are too hasty, the flow of funds will be a flaw... But unfortunately, I can't tell you the inside story."

Wang Luo asked: "Really? But Qin Yu also wants to know."

"Too despicable!"

"Qin Yu, why don't you ask it yourself."

Gu Shishi said helplessly: "That's enough! I can't tell you all the details, but within the scope of what can be said, I can give you some hints. You... know about Bafang Dinghuang, right?" Wang Luo immediately became interested.

Of course he knew the concept of the Eight Directions Determining Desolation, because it was recorded in the general textbook that Shi Yue gave him. It was basic common sense that was almost at the same level as the Great Law.

The so-called Eight Directions Desolation means that after the natural disaster, in order to contain the expanding wasteland, the survivors built fortresses in eight places close to the borders of civilization, which together formed a huge barrier covering the entire civilized world.

This barrier not only completely isolates the desolate pollution, but also maintains the continuous flow of heaven within the barrier. More importantly, this barrier is alive.

Or to be precise, the eight fortresses supporting this barrier are movable.Every time with the development of civilization, the original territory becomes too small, the Immortal Alliance will discuss the strategy of pioneering the wilderness together, choose a wilderness-defining fortress carrying human civilization, and move it outward, and the entire wilderness-defining enchantment will also be extended accordingly. Winning a broader space for development for mankind.

In fact, 1000 or two hundred years ago, when the boundary between the eight directions was first formed, the territory of human civilization was less than one-third of what it is today, and the territories were not connected, like many isolated islands watching each other.Later, after dozens of pioneering efforts over thousands of years, the territory of civilization was restored to about half of what it was before the catastrophe.

Now, with Lingshan as the boundary, the five states on the right side of the sky have all been recovered. The light of civilization even shines far away on the outer sea, and Haizhou has prospered because of this.But the four states on the left side of the sky have become so desolate and poisonous that it is difficult to eradicate them.Nearly a hundred years have passed since the last large-scale westward expansion. During this period, the power of the Immortal Alliance has more than doubled, but the road to the west is still difficult.

The first difficulty is naturally that the desolate demons are rampant in the four states on the left side of the sky, and the desolate poison is difficult to eradicate.For example, the vast wilderness outside Nanxiang looks like a place comparable to a sinister land in the civilized world, but in fact, to the entire four states of Tianzhizuo, it can only be regarded as a novice village.The famous Dinghuang Legion is nothing more than a garrison in Novice Village.

The secondary difficulty is that people are greedy for comfort. With the restoration of the five states and the prosperity of the outer sea, the Immortal Alliance has no shortage of room for development in a short period of time. The unbreakable barrier of desolation for thousands of years has also made people lose the ability to eliminate desolation. sense of urgency.It is difficult to get full support from all countries to open up wasteland, which is a waste of people and money.

The last point is: the two Dinghuang fortresses to the west were once the first cities built on the ruins by the Dinghuang pioneers. Now they have become the core cities of two powerful countries, each with a permanent population of tens of millions and influence. Hundreds of millions of people have been radiated, making it difficult to move.

And Rongcheng is one of them.

"So, you mean, Rongcheng is moving?"

Gu Shishi was silent for a long time.

"Understood, acquiescence."

Gu Shishi said angrily: "I didn't!"

"Well, so the following content is all my unfounded speculation. It is completely original and does not contain any reference elements. Anyone who accuses me of cheating will definitely be reduced to a monkey clown."

Wang Luo carefully finished folding the shield, and while Gu Shishi gritted his teeth, he told his original story.

"As far as I know, pioneering requires moving a fortress, that is, an entire city. In the past thousand years, humans have never had a precedent of moving a large city. The largest migration was 250 years ago. , [Ziwu] of Haizhou moved the Dinghuang fortress [Fuzhou City] located on the frontier directly 400 kilometers southeast, and located it on the outer seaside, allowing mankind to gain the largest entrance to the sea, and radiating the territory of civilization thousands of miles away , completely recaptured the famous Beihai Islands in the old era. This story was even used in some Taixu picture scrolls... And Fuzhou City, with a population of only [-] million at the time, was not ranked among the top ten in Ziwu. Rao Even so, all countries in Haizhou have worked hard to prepare for this project for more than [-] years before finally allowing this project to be implemented."

At this time, Gu Shishi couldn't help it anymore: "Your story is simply copied from the general education textbook, isn't it!?"

Wang Luo shook his head: "This can effectively avoid the suspicion of leaking secrets. Everyone's stories evolved from general textbooks, and it is reasonable for them to be slightly similar in the follow-up. And this is just the beginning, and the real original part will begin. You Don’t be so hasty in jumping to conclusions and criticizing, it’s easy to become a clown.”
