Blackstone Town (4)

“Xiao Hui and I both signed the second type contracts, the one that contributed one hundred special beasts…”
Originally, with the nature of these local forces, guarding the temple would definitely make all the new and old citizens sign a contract to sell themselves.
However, the Holy City did not allow them to do so. From the overall situation, it was not conducive to the relationship between the old citizens and the new citizens, and it was easy to cause confrontation. That was why they specially requested that each town must provide another clause that did not force the old citizen could return a certain amount of benefits.
“What did they pay you for return?!” Zhao Yu asked casually.
“The qualification to advance to second tier, and a low rank Earth level martial art technique that cannot be leaked. The method has already been signed with a contract that has the power to be contracted, so there is no way to tell it to outsiders…” Hao Yu Wei said regretfully.
Zhao Yu could not help but shake his head when he heard that.
These local families were indeed good at doing business. The resources to advance to Second Tier were provided by the camp, which was the temple, but the qualifications were all held in their hands.
As for Earth Level Low Rank cultivation techniques, he could give them out at will. After all, he had not signed a contract and could leak them out.
However, there was nothing he could do with the established rule and system. After all, the old citizens were all new here and could only live for ten years at most. This world was controlled by the new citizens, so it was not up to them.
“Boss, I’ve signed the first one…” Yu Tie Jun, who was standing at the side, said awkwardly.
“I know that my strength and potential are at its limited. If I follow you, I’ll be a burden. I don’t expect to continue walking down the path with you, so…”
His words were true. His combat level and skill was not strong to begin with. If not for Zhao Yu, he would have died in the Tier 1 zone long ago.
Now that he had advanced to second tier, he had at least ten years to live.
Moreover, the conditions offer by the Sun family were not bad. There would be many gorgeous girls for him to choose from.
To him, this kind of life with three wives and four concubines was full of temptation. Even in reality, he had never experienced it.
“I understand!”
If Yu Tie Jun also signed the second contract, it would not be appropriate.
Asking Yu Tie Jun retrieve one hundred high-level second tier beasts is basically a suicide mission.
As for Hao Yu Wei and Yang Hui Yan, they were Zhao Yu’s women now, so it was normal for him to be taking care of them.
Hearing that Zhao Yu didn’t blame him, Yu Tie Jun heave a sigh of relief, but he also felt a little disappointed.
Because he understood that from today onwards, he was no longer Zhao Yu’s man, but a member of the Sun family.
“Zhao Yu, I’ll bring you to your residence. Li family has already made arrangements…” Li Bo saw that Zhao Yu had finished talking and came out at the right time.
As for the elders of the five major families, after the initial excitement, they gradually calmed down, realizing that their eagerness was counterproductive to fostering closer relationships.
After careful consideration and discussions with other elders of their families, they settled on a new plan to get close to Zhao Yu first. For now, they simply greeted him before returning to their respective places.
Li Bo also understood the relationship between Hao Yu Wei, Yang Hui Yan, and Zhao Yu, “Don’t worry, after their promotion is complete, I will have someone bring them over…”
Zhao Yu was straightforward and, after instructing the two women, followed Li Bo out of the temple.
Stepping out of the temple, they were surrounded by a plaza decorated with flowers and plants.
Looking up at the skyscrapers filled the distance, their signs flickering with neon lights.
For a moment, Zhao Yu almost thought he had arrived in the modern world above ground.
Only when he looked up at the familiar incandescent lights in the sky did he realize that this was still the underground world.
Gazing at the endless modern steel jungle, Zhao Yu was startled and turned to ask, “How many people live in Blackstone Town?!”
“Uh… I remember there was a census three years ago, and Blackstone Town had over one and a half million people…”
“One and a half million people?!”
Zhao Yu was shocked.
He had thought Blackstone Town might have a few tens of thousands of people at most, perhaps up to a couple of hundred thousand, but it actually had over one and a half million.
And this was just a town?!
And there were 512 towns like this?!
With more than five hundred towns, the population was nearly a billion, right?!
How many people were there in the entire underground world?!
“How many people are in Moon City?” Zhao Yu asked Li Bo with a serious expression.
“I heard it has over ten million people…”
After getting more details, Zhao Yu understood that this underground world, after five thousand years of development, indeed had a substantial population growth, with over five billion people.
However, most of them were ordinary people, not even zero tier fighter.
These ordinary people, descendants of the old citizens, had long lost their sins. The only chance they have were born beautiful or handsome, enabling them to marry old citizens and possibly have promising children.
In contrast, in Blackstone Town, the five major families could be considered supreme, viewed by ordinary people as the elite nobility.
After all, the technology products in this world were primarily for daily life.
Any technology products related to weapons were not only unavailable for exchange but also could not be produced. Producing them would incur punishment.
This ensured that for many years, the old citizens continued to adhere to old rules, constantly intermarrying with the new citizens to form fighters capable of combating the beasts outside the towns.
“Zhao Yu, this way!”
Li Bo led the way, walking towards the edge of the plaza.
A row of expensive-looking luxury cars was parked along the road, and a group of handsome men and beautiful women stood by the cars, smiling warmly at them.
“A warm welcome to Mr. Zhao Yu.
