[201-400] LORD OF THE WORLD: I BECOME THE LORD OF THE DESERT FROM THE START

Chapter 282: The Space Merchant, A Treasure Worth 3 Million Points

Supporting 2,000 people, 20,000 people, and 200,000 were completely different concepts.

If Twilight City’s population increased to 100,000, even if they only consumed two or three units of food, that would mean 200,000 to 300,000 units and two to three million resources a day.

They would have to pay hundreds of millions of resources in a month.

And what if the [Trading Market] continued to increase the handling fee in the future?

During the week of natural disasters, grain production decreased, and the other players raised the price or even stopped selling.

If the agricultural industry is not under his control, he would have to pay a painful price he could not bear if an accident happened.

In the corner of his eye, Richard caught sight of a figure who slowly approached. It held a long-handled giant axe in her hand.

The little centaur seemed in a particularly low mood. She turned a deaf ear to everything around her.

There were large patches of blood stains on her armor, which looked quite frightening.

“Emily…”

The little fellow raised her head when she heard the familiar voice.

She suddenly felt a lump in her throat when she looked at warm and worried eyes of Richard. She ran up to him and hugged him tightly. She buried her head in his arms and cried.

Richard was surprised, but a smile soon appeared on his face. He patted the little centaur’s head.

He comforted her softly.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. Behold. I am here. No one can bully you now…”

When she heard this, the little girl cried even harder.

After a long time, the little centaur seemed tired from crying, and her voice became softer.

She sobbed as she slowly left his embrace.

Her eyes were red as she looked at him pitifully.

“Father, I just killed many, many monsters…”

As she spoke, she clutched his long robe tightly as if afraid that the only person she could rely on would leave.

Richard smiled and wiped away the tears on Emily’s face.

“I’m glad that Emily is strong.”

“It’s not your fault. Don’t worry. Those monsters are our enemies. If we don’t kill them, they will destroy everything we have.

“When facing an enemy, there is no need to hold back.

“You’ve done a great job. Not only have you helped me, but you’ve also helped everyone in Twilight City.

“The residents will be proud of you. I am proud of you.”

When she heard this, the centaur’s eyes lit up.

Her voice was soft and uncertain.

“Really?”

Richard nodded in agreement.

“It’s true.”

It was as if the judge had declared her innocent and released her. And it gave the centaur a new life.

Her depressed mood instantly rose, and her red eyes curved into crescents.

However, her throat still uncontrollably sniffled after a long cry.
