Old Black Snake: Master Huang! Help me! / The Situation in Ursus and the Life of Sensual Pleasures

"In faraway Kazdel, but be careful, they are not to be trifled with."

Chapter 291 Old Black Snake: Master Huang! Save him!

"This little guy's recovery ability is a bit slow. It took him three days to barely escape danger."

The female warrior placed a piece of fresh meat in front of the cage.

After offering a few words of thanks in broken Sargol, Sea Creatures began to eat heartily.

Although the two did not believe that the beast understood the meaning of gratitude, it at least possessed the most basic level of intelligence.

At the same time, you can communicate and won't lie to anyone.

Talking to Sea Creatures is much more pleasant than communicating with a schemer.

"Utopia is willing to let you return to the sea to let your compatriots know you are safe, but at the same time, we hope that you can come back with us, as a friend..."

Sea Creatures looked up in disbelief; the land dweller in front of him seemed a little abnormal.

Given their perception that they are now prisoners, how could these self-proclaimed utopias possibly release their captives?

Aren't you afraid I'll run away?

"Our lord said that he considers Sea Creatures his friend, and I can open the cage now. The reason I locked you up before was because I was afraid you would run around and aggravate your wounds."

The Abundance Warrior opened the cage where Sea Creatures was imprisoned, demonstrating Utopia's goodwill through their actions.

Sea Creatures, having escaped the cage, circled the two a few times, then the fins on his ears emitted a very rhythmic vibration.

It seems to be communicating with its fellow creatures in the ocean.

Finally, Sea Creatures returned to the cage and said in very broken Sargol:

"Take... us... to see... the... lord... friends of Utopia..."

"My mother... wants to see me..."

As Utopia Warrior dispatched abroad, Master Huang naturally educated his two subordinates about the history and social structure of Sea Creatures.

Naturally, he knew who the mother this Sea Creatures was talking about was.

There are four Firstborn in the Sea Creatures, representing four different directions of development for this population.

I just don't know which one is the Firstborn.

But let's leave this problem to the lord to decide; there's nothing we can do about it here.

The Abundance Warrior covered the cage with a black cloth and traveled day and night, taking several days to finally reach Utopia.

At the same time, our Master Huang also slowly woke up from his bed.

It's another morning.

Huang Cao peeked out from under the warm blankets, looking at the dim light with a lost expression.

She glanced again at Warfarin lying on her chest, and at Lamian and Theresia, who were still fast asleep on either side of her.

While the allure of a secluded paradise can indeed bring physical and mental pleasure, indulging in it for too long meant not accomplishing any great feats of world conquest for an entire month.

Although this is also the life he pursues in the future.

All of Huang Cao's efforts were aimed at ensuring that the gentle haven would continue uninterrupted and unaffected by anything.

So it's time to get out and about.

"Why did you wake up so quickly? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Lamian had just woken up, had a dazed look in her eyes and subconsciously kissed her man.

No, it's starting to react!

If Huang Cao was bored before deciding to take it back, then this is the life I want!

This is anything but boring!

However, Warfarin slept lying directly in front of the Huang Cao, and last night's battle ended in that position.

So, by sheer coincidence, the dragon awakened by the kiss happened to be on the little vampire's righteous path.

"Um... don't move..."

Warfarin, still asleep, shifted her body slightly downwards, not to avoid it, but to completely absorb the strange sensation she felt.

It went as smoothly as a lamb entering a tiger's den, and then a cry of surprise escaped from her sleep, after which she began a fully automatic attack with relatively small movements.

This is the Blood Demon's rebellion!

"Sister Warfarin is such a little glutton, isn't she?"

Seeing her hard work being stolen, Lamian could only watch as the little vampire wore an expression of enjoyment.

Fortunately, Ah Cao was there to chat with, so it wasn't a complete loss.

I'll just take Miss Warfarin's spot when I go to bed tonight!

They won't even let you go in your dreams!

After a tender morning, Warfarin was actually awakened by a blazing fire.

When she realized that she had unknowingly done something terrible, even though she had developed a thick skin over the years, she couldn't help but blush for several minutes.

Theresia, on the other hand, wore a comical expression and took the lead in cleaning up the battlefield.

So the three of them divided the work and worked together to create a wonderful morning.

Of course, you should still eat a proper breakfast.

At the leisurely breakfast table, Huang Cao was preparing breakfast for his wife while also pondering what to do next.

The country is expanding too fast. If it continues to expand its territory, all political affairs will be relegated to the back burner.

If things stop in the future, these things will pile up like a mountain, and Master Huang will be busy as a spinning top.

"But perhaps we can find an easy target to bully. By the way, what's the current situation in Siergrag?"

According to the storyline, Silver Ash's parents were probably just born at this time, and Yela was probably still asleep.

Or are you already playing maid games?

After all, it's only around year 1030 in the Terra Calendar. But speaking of which, is Lungmen still in Black Serpent's hands?

"I need to find this letter that the Old Black Snake gave me."

After breakfast, Huang Cao returned to his office and carefully rummaged through the documents. He finally found hundreds of letters that Koschei had sent him in a large box.

Good heavens, that must be over a million words!

What exactly is this black snake up to?

Upon opening the envelope, I found nothing but boasting and pleas inside.

The first few emails were all in a normal cooperative tone, as if to say, "This is giving you a chance."

In fact, the connection between Old Black Snake and Utopia began decades ago. Snake Scales may be a little weaker in combat, but his intelligence capabilities are in no way inferior to Black Hat's.

However, in the subsequent letters, even dozens of them, Koschei's attitude changed, and he even used a lot of honorifics.

Huang Cao glanced at the time and noticed that these honorifics appeared most frequently after Utopia defeated Gaul.

Furthermore, before completely annexing Gaul, the Old Black Snake sent only 200,000 words of letters to Master Huang.

After defeating Gaul, the snake sent more than 800,000 words of letters within a year.

At this moment, the truth that strength is the only Istina of success is undeniably revealed.

Even the Old Black Snake had to change his usual arrogant tone and humbly beg Utopia to open a factory in Ursus.

These letters, totaling over a million words, can be roughly summarized as follows:

Koschei: My dear father, Ursus can't live without your food! The country is desperately poor right now.

While he might not actually say that, the situation in Ursus is indeed far from optimistic.

Why didn't they get a single penny when they participated in the War of the Four Emperors more than a year ago?

So who is responsible for this?

Master Huang said he didn't know.

Chapter 292 The Situation in Ursus and the Land of Gentle Companions

"Let the phone in Ursus ring for a few days first. These letters even have words of concern and care. It seems they're still not hungry enough."

It's not like I'm being asked to be the emperor of Ursus.

So why should I care about the Ursus people... Besides, caring about them might even help the Ursus noble class.

Given Ursus's exploitative practices, even if Huang Cao agrees to Black Serpent opening a factory in its country...

Even if all the benefits were reduced to the minimum wage in Utopia, Master Huang's factory would still be an enviable place to work.

At least the working environment is guaranteed, and wages are paid on time.

These two points alone are enough to make them stand out from the crowd in Ursus, a place known for its outstanding people and abundant resources.

It's not that Master Huang is a terrible person, but that other countries are really awful.

Given the nature of these nobles, if they wanted to recover after their defeat, they would have to exploit their own people.

Because of the significant reduction in military strength after the defeat, Ursus lost its ability to expand its territory in a short period of time, and it might not even be able to defeat Kazimierz.

This is no lie, but it is precisely because of utopia.

Three factions are vying for power within Kazimierz and have no time to concern themselves with foreign affairs; even the news of the War of the Four Emperors hasn't made headlines.

If it weren't for Master Huang's utopia becoming a part of it, Kazimierz would probably have launched an attack on Ursus.

Originally, there was also the Yan Country watching from the sidelines, but its old emperor is now senile, domestic affairs are in a mess, and he has no mood to send troops to Ursus.

So apart from Utopia, other countries are either too far away or not appealing, making Ursus's international environment ridiculously good.

This is why, almost two years after its defeat, the giant bear has not yet fallen.

Huang Cao found it hard to believe that the Ursus Nobles had oppressed their people to such an extent, yet the common people had not yet rebelled.

Ursus: Just bear with it a little longer... surely a wise ruler will emerge in the future!

Master Huang: If you just bear with it a little longer, you're all doomed!

Huang Cao sighed, but considering the potential future dealings with this country, he decided to try to make some arrangements first.

So he wrote:

Dear Mr. Koschei, I have received your letter. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to value our country. However, Utopia is currently in a period of rapid development and does not have extra resources to invest in other countries. Nevertheless, I am very interested in the grain trade you mentioned. You can arrange a time, and I can send an envoy to the agreed place for detailed discussions.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Master Huang suddenly changed his tone:

However, I cannot guarantee the time you agreed upon. After all, international affairs are constantly changing, and I may have to change my plans for Ursus due to certain interests. Therefore, I may not be able to send anyone to the place at the time you agreed upon. If I do not go, then this deal will be void.

In short, you have to keep quiet about standing me up.

Black Serpent's intention was simple, but if it weren't for his suggestion, Huang Cao would have almost forgotten his identity as the world's largest grain trader.

After all, during this period, Utopia's external strategy has been war, and it has rarely waged economic wars.

My best weapon is food, and Koschei has also recognized this.

Compared to other industries, even if the distribution channels for food are controlled by others, as long as domestic production can keep up, the so-called crisis is nothing more than a mirage.

Ursus lacks nothing except land.

If you don't pursue high yields and have some professional knowledge, the technical requirements for farming are actually not that high.

As long as we safeguard our arable land, and assuming the national leadership doesn't make any rash decisions, dealing with grain dumping is actually quite easy.

After all, the land is in our own hands, and we can't eat all the stored grain at once; we'll have about six months to recover.

As long as the country doesn't experience any major upheavals, even if it's in a weak position in terms of food, foreign dumping will only cause some economic losses and harm the farmers at the bottom of society.

If the Ursus leadership is well-prepared, leveraging the vast market and land, and coupled with sound policies, they can promptly compensate farmers for their losses.

Even if we really can't win, we can always cheat and simply refuse to recognize any of Utopia's business activities.

As long as Ursus can prepare everything, Huang Lu will be the one who suffers the consequences after 7.
