Xu Nan was no philanthropist. In fact, every move he had made in Wildfire City had served one purpose: to better develop the Emerald Mine.
That included leveraging Stephenson's name and riding the momentum of Lost Paradise's City Lord Plan.
Everything he had done before had been meant to clear away all obstacles and provide absolute security for the mining and refining of the Emerald Mine.
And now, the timing and conditions had basically ripened.
If manpower had initially been a concern, then the harsh winter of the Icefield had perfectly solved that problem for him, while his conversation with Charles had eliminated the final hidden danger.
These strong and sturdy Icefield People were the best workers Xu Nan could have hoped for.
Although most of them were not skilled in any industrial work, Xu Nan believed that as long as they were given sufficient conditions and properly trained, the Icefield People, who were not particularly lazy, could still unleash tremendous potential.
The North had never lacked adventurous and ambitious spirit. What it lacked was merely a suitable environment.
Now, the emergence of Anonymous City had given the Icefield People such an opportunity.
Moreover, Xu Nan had given them the basic conditions needed to survive. In a sense, the Tu Mier Su he played possessed something of a savior's aura, while his status as Stephenson's representative added another layer of mystery around him.
That made it much easier for him to mobilize the Icefield People's strength. Otherwise, this large-scale migration would certainly have run into far more complications.
"The migration has been completed. The people left are either unwilling to live in the underground city or are staying in Wildfire City to rebuild the fortress."
"It's time to find them something to do. We can't keep idlers around."
