The Shapeshifter Collective: Lord Huang, We're Rich! / Suspected of Imitating Larmalienne and Preparing to Steal Her Man: Shu.

Thanks to the Originium Industry, countries now possess a large number of mobile land plots, and are just waiting for an opportunity to transfer cities to these plots and turn them into Mobile City.

"Those evil knights thought they could share this prosperity with the capitalists, but they didn't realize that they had already become the prey."

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; dividing classes is the most effective means of depleting the enemy's manpower."

In the past, the knights were a united front, making it difficult for capitalists to succeed. These feudal nobles, who owned vast amounts of land, naturally clashed with capital. Merchants who wanted to make money had to acquire land.

Now, capitalists are colluding with unscrupulous knights to squeeze out the living space of virtuous knights, which seems like a win-win situation.

Feudalism can never outmaneuver capital. Once the knightly class is torn apart, the entire class will eventually be completely controlled by capital.

"So what should I do next? Should I start with capital or with the squeezed knightly class?"

Huang Cao stroked his chin thoughtfully, because once he entered the game, there was no turning back.

It is not in my interest to incite conflict in this country, because capital is ultimately more advanced for this country.

Unless we take a more advanced approach, but Master Huang's own territory hasn't been utilized yet, and besides, how can we solve the problem of productivity?

After some deliberation, Huang Cao decided to continue to observe and sent out all of his spies.

The current conflicts are not particularly acute, unless we can uncover the deeper, underlying contradictions within the country.

"What exactly is the conflict in Kazimierz? The game only seems to mention the conflict between a few guilds... but right now it's undoubtedly the honeymoon period for these guilds. Should we wait until there are more infected?"

It's unrealistic; Huang Cao believes that focusing on infected individuals is undoubtedly a mistake.

The number of infected people in Kazimierz is relatively small; this type of infected person should be used in Ursus.

Huang Cao immersed himself completely in the Originium Database, trying to find the country's weaknesses in the boundless ocean of information.

The problem is that this country has weaknesses everywhere, but none of them are particularly prominent.

He was plagued by a variety of illnesses, but none of them were fatal; they were all minor ailments.

After pondering this for almost a day, Huang Cao decided to try a different approach and let Kazimierz develop for a while.

In the storyline of Nearl, the military seems to always be at odds with the Commercial Union, but in a sense, the two are interdependent.

The Originium Database is not omnipotent; the authenticity of its internal information often needs to be verified, as many people die without understanding what the decisions made by those in power were, and they may even receive false information.

After all, those who actually carry out the plan are usually still alive, while those who are abandoned may not necessarily get the truth after they die, just like in a movie script.

Knock knock knock.

Just as Huang Cao was thinking, there was a knock on the office door, accompanied by a very gentle voice.

Shu, holding a spatula, called out with great concern, "Mr. Huang, are you alright? Dinner time is almost here."

Why is Shu here? Did he open another portal?

Chapter 198 The Shapeshifter Collective: Master Huang, we're rich now!

"So what brings the three of you here to freeload a meal?"

Huang Cao felt a sense of bewilderment when he saw the three people enjoying the soft comfort of his sofa as he went downstairs.

Good heavens, Shapeshifter, Corpse Eaters, Blood Demon —if you include Lamian, who was already in the castle, Kazdel has almost every surviving Royal Court.

Are they holding a major conference here?

More importantly, there was also a millet plant busy in the kitchen.

So I just spent a whole day in my room thinking about plans, and then suddenly everything outside changed?

Nizere revealed a meaningful smile, but because the ancient Immortals's head was wrapped in various bandages, no one could see through the face hidden in the shadows.

"That's not right. It's just normal cultural and economic exchange. After all, our prince often comes here to exchange ideas."

Isn't that right?

People usually come here on an empty stomach and come back after they've eaten their fill...

Dukare: "In the past, the succession in Kazdel was no different from that in Yan Country, but I don't know when it started, no Demon King has ever had an heir who can succeed to the throne."

So when can I hug the little Demon King? Let me experience what life is all about?

The Shapeshifter Collective: "When is dinner? I'm going to eat my fill. Don't worry, I'll pay you. Those two finally paid me back fifty years' worth of wages."

The field fell silent. Huang Cao couldn't help but glance at the Shapeshifter with pitiful eyes.

You two siblings are guilty of heinous crimes; look what you've done to that child.

"It seems that Mr. Huang's daily life is quite colorful. He even has a chef from Yan Country, and he also likes to keep enemies by his side. You certainly know how to enjoy life."

Dukare naturally saw Shu cooking in the kitchen and Kal'tsit holding Młynar beside him.

It is obvious that this child is not Mr. Huang's. Dukare's senses are exceptionally sharp; there is no need to distinguish genes in a paternity test. He can tell just by smelling the child.

Although Huang Cao's race is unclear, the children he had with his other two wives could not possibly be Water Elf, so they could only have been adopted from outside.

It's alright, let's just consider it a rehearsal for His Highness's child in the future.

"So, Mr. Huang, do you have three guests at home today?"

"Shu, do you want me to help you? You've been working on this all by yourself for so long, it must be tiring."

Shu was busy in the kitchen for a long time, and as time passed, the aroma of stewed meat gradually wafted out.

Since they're already here, we can't just send them away. These three are currently our capable supporters.

Nizere: "The fragrant chunks of meat are so appetizing. I can already imagine the groans of the meat's owner as it was being processed."

Huang Cao: "A wonderful metaphor..."

As we all know, the King of the Scavengers doesn't necessarily eat rotten flesh; he has normal dietary needs, but he's too lazy to pursue them most of the time.

However, Dukare seemed uninterested, so Huang Cao also came to the kitchen.

Let you Sarkaz natives witness my skills firsthand.

Huang Cao caught a camel on his own ranch, bled it dry, and then used his superb skills to make a pot of fragrant Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish).

The rich aroma made Dukare lick his lips; it proved that even the most arrogant Lord of the Royal Court had to set aside his principles when faced with delicious food.

"Miss Warfarin, it seems you have really found a very good man. Men with good cooking skills are rare among us Blood Demon, and of course, women are rare too."

Warfarin looked a little embarrassed; with Dukare standing there, she felt like she was meeting her parents.

After all, the Lord of the Royal Court represents the entire race, and Warfarin, as Blood Demon, would naturally feel embarrassed.

This guy is definitely subtly reminding himself that he also needs to learn cooking skills so he won't be pushed out of the game.

Look at Miss Shu, how gentle and virtuous she is, while you can only wait on the sidelines for food.

Warfarin: This is my husband, can't I enjoy him? Get the hell out of here! If you keep making sarcastic remarks like this, believe me, I'll make things difficult for you when you're your boss.

Dukare, who had been given a stern warning, exclaimed that he was going against the heavens, and then turned his head away with an indifferent expression.

Don't get angry. If you really get retaliated against later, you'll be the one who suffers.

It seems that her fellow clansman is quite petty. I really don't know what Mr. Huang could possibly have taken a liking to her.

In other words, the pig in your own yard ended up eating someone else's cabbage.

"However, Miss Shu's identity seems to be quite extraordinary. At least I sensed an ancient power emanating from her, no less than that of the Royal Court."

Dukare said cryptically, judging from the clothes Miss Shu was wearing.

This gentle and intellectual woman is undoubtedly a Yan Country.

As one of the oldest beings on this land, the Shapeshifter Collective possesses knowledge no less than that of Kal'tsit, and at least has more ways to obtain information than other Royal Court.

"The true identity of the millet should be Great Beast. One of my fellow Shapeshifter once infiltrated a department of Yan Country and only obtained some information about them."

Great Beast? That's not surprising.

Dukare put aside his arrogance, though he showed no fear in the face of this strange creature.

But just as there are differences between people, there are also differences between Great Beast.

Some Great Beast control time, while Great Beast can only play in the sand.

Moreover, the pressure that Shu brought to the Little Cat Roll was extraordinary, but she didn't feel uncomfortable because she didn't direct her hostility at all.

So it was Great Beast from the Yan Country? Why would Great Beast appear here?

Should we go through diplomatic procedures?

What tax rate applies to the entry fees paid by the Great Beast when they enter Kazdel?

If payment is based on weight, is it based on the person's weight or the weight of the individual?

All I can say is that Dukare has been so obsessed with calculating lately that he's completely lost his mind. If the King of the Scavengers hadn't nudged him with his tentacles, Little Cat Roll would have really gotten stuck in a rut.

"Looks like I really have gone mad."

"So this is the price we pay for our shirking responsibility. Before, we only knew how to fight wars, but now we must also take responsibility for the operation of this country."

Fighting alone is not enough to govern a country; the appearance of Huang Cao gave the two a new approach.

A nation driven by war is destined to end in war.

Lamian returned from outside, carrying some vegetables in her hands.

Upon opening the door, one sees a large group of Royal Court sitting in the center of the living room, staring at each other with expressions that seem to be lamenting the state of life.

"Alas, if these lazy bums had realized their mistakes decades ago, perhaps His Highness wouldn't have had such a hard life."

She sighed inwardly for a moment, but she still had to thank these lazy bums.

If it weren't for the fact that the Royal Court under his command was so lazy and dumped all the work on His Highness.

Otherwise, given Your Highness's strong will, a fight might actually break out in the future.

Chapter 199: Shushu, who seems to be imitating Lamian and is preparing to steal someone else's partner.

After enjoying a delicious meal, the three Lord of the Royal Court did not linger. They chatted briefly before setting off back home.

These people only took three days off because their real purpose in coming was to freeload a meal.

Currently, only a certain pink-haired one brother and sister are diligently working in the capital city of Kazdel.

Or to be more precise, Teresis wasn't much help and stayed in the military camp the whole time.

Currently, the Demon King is responsible for handling almost all of their remaining government affairs.

As for collective leave, it was a common occurrence. Theresia felt that it was already a luxury to get these Royal Court up and working.

She couldn't ask for anything more. Taking leave was fine; after all, she was the one who originally did these tasks.

Therefore, Kazdel's makeshift team was the best among all countries. The fact that the entire country's top officials took leave would be extremely shocking in any country.

If Trump were to fall, it might truly descend into anarchy, but in Kazdel, it's perfectly normal for the higher-ups to collectively go offline.

"Mr. Huang's home is so lively. I wonder if my cooking suits everyone's taste."

"Shu said happily."

At the same time, she took the initiative to clear away the bowls and chopsticks, taking over all the work that Kal'tsit was originally supposed to do.

"Just throw all the dishes into the dishwasher. Don't worry, my machine will definitely not leave any residue."

Huang Cao kindly reminded him.

Curious, Shu opened Mr. Huang's kitchen cabinet and found several green tentacles floating in the air, in addition to some gears.

The tentacles were covered in sponges and looked very dry and clean.

So that's how it is. Is this the biotechnology that Mr. Huang often mentions?

When Shu first came to Mr. Huang's house, she was very unfamiliar with the place and dared not use these small, seemingly complicated items.

However, after the previous food aid incident, the two sides became quite familiar with each other.

Huang Cao granted the Sui sisters exclusive access to the Golden Tree, making it easier for Xi's paintings to connect the two places.

So when they had nothing to do, the older sisters and younger sisters of the Sui family often came to visit Huang Cao's territory.

Of course, you should give a heads-up before visiting, otherwise you won't be allowed to come.
