203: Chapter 203 Li Xiaoyi's Plan
"You know why we're here? Let's get straight to the point then!" Mu Cheng didn't stand on ceremony, immediately plopping down on the sofa.
The old man suddenly flew into a rage. "Presumptuous! You'd better be more polite, young man!"
He immediately launched an attack, but the Little Demon Fox Emperor naturally wouldn't let such a thing happen, blocking the attack with just one hand.
"Is this the Worlds Number One Tower's way of treating guests? I guess cooperation isn't necessary then."
"Elder Tian, step down." The woman was also completely taken aback, instantly glaring at the old man with furious, cold eyes.
The old man trembled with fear, immediately turning to leave...
"I'm truly sorry, he doesn't understand the rules." The woman greeted them with a smile.
Little Demon Fox Emperor: "Tell me, what kind of cooperation are we talking about?"
"Actually, it's quite simple. You just need to help me bring down the other Three Great Families." The woman didn't waste words and got straight to the point.
Mu Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "This might not be easy! I don't think the Three Great Families are as simple as they seem."
It wasn't hard to guess. As the Tower Lord, for her to mention the Three Great Families meant something.
It meant they were evenly matched, and it wouldn't be easy to bring them down.
Little Demon Fox Emperor: "Are you going to use divine artifacts?"
"Mhm, mhm." The woman nodded in reply.
Xiao Yao: "Master indeed has many divine artifacts, but whether he helps or not is his business. As for you, you must unconditionally fulfill our demands."
How domineering! Saying such words showed that she was already confident.
"Sister, what you're saying... I don't understand." The woman was naturally unhappy.
Indeed, who would be so foolish as to unconditionally agree to help?
"The Worlds Number One Tower belongs to the Devouring Bloodline owner, and this place will also belong to them in the future." The Little Demon Fox Emperor also got straight to the point.
The woman sneered. "Heh heh, Devouring Bloodline owner? Sister, do you still think it's the past?"
"No, no, it's different now. Master has already broken through to the ninth rank." Xiao Yao also didn't mince words.
The woman was instantly shocked upon hearing this. "Broken through to the ninth rank? Do you take me for a fool?"
"Don't believe it? Proving it to you is a small matter." The Little Demon Fox Emperor nudged Mu Cheng and said.
This left Mu Cheng completely bewildered. "This... what kind of proof should I give? Tell me."
"Master, try to control this Worlds Number One Tower with your consciousness." Xiao Yao replied, quite speechless.
"I'll try!" Mu Cheng was half-skeptical, but he still did it.
Indeed, the control of the Worlds Number One Tower directly belonged to Mu Cheng.
In the future, he would only need to use the high-tech bracelet to appoint managers, just like with the Sword Tower last time.
"How is this possible... a Devouring Bloodline owner, how could they break through to the ninth rank?" The woman completely panicked.
She had spent a lot of effort to obtain the Worlds Number One Tower.
But now, it was becoming someone else's dowry; everything was about to be completely lost.
Xiao Yao: "Nothing is impossible. Now we can freely use the Teleportation Talisman Array. As for you, sister, please leave as soon as possible!"
"Let's just leave it at that for today. The Worlds Number One Tower needs a suitable manager, and we won't find one in a short while." Mu Cheng suddenly played the good cop.
As a result, the Little Demon Fox Emperor scolded him. "You idiot... what has the Worlds Number One Tower become now? And you're still pleading for her?"
Xiao Yao: "Master, you must not be soft-hearted. The Worlds Number One Tower's principle is equality for all, not like this."
This was already a very serious matter; the principle of equality for all had been broken...
Mu Cheng thought about it and then understood the reason for their anger.
It was because the old man also needed to bring out a divine artifact to see the Tower Lord...
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." The woman broke down, even looking as if she had gone mad.
Mu Cheng said awkwardly, "Then what do you propose we do? We can't just close the Worlds Number One Tower, can we?"
"Closing it is not necessary, but such people should never be managers of the Worlds Number One Tower." The Little Demon Fox Emperor emphasized again.
Xiao Yao: "Master, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and make these two scram. Xiao Yao doesn't want to see their faces."
"Alright! I'll give you ten minutes. You'd better disappear from my sight quickly." Mu Cheng operated the high-tech bracelet to enter the Worlds Number One Tower's defense page.
He quickly operated it, and it was soon completed...
Although the woman was unconvinced, she knew very well how terrifying the Worlds Number One Tower's defenses were.
So she had no choice but to leave...
"Finally, some peace and quiet," Xiao Yao said.
Mu Cheng asked with some fear, "Is it really okay? What if she comes back for revenge?"
"Don't worry, the reason why no one dares to touch the Worlds Number One Tower is because it's both offensive and defensive. Even a God of Destruction powerhouse would need some effort, let alone the people in this Wilderness City now." The Little Demon Fox Emperor wasn't flustered in the slightest.
Xiao Yao: "So, what's the plan next? We can't just leave, can we?"
"Of course not. The Worlds Number One Tower has a considerable income, so of course we'll find new managers." Mu Cheng refused.
The Little Demon Fox Emperor also agreed. "Mhm, mhm, the managers don't necessarily have to be outsiders; they could be from the Three Great Families."
"I'll do some research." Mu Cheng operated the control page and quickly gained a preliminary understanding of Wilderness City.
After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke. "Wilderness City is a mixed bag. I think we can find the Li Family. Although they're not a prominent family, they have the support of many people."
"Whatever you say, just try to resolve it as quickly as possible!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't understand any of this.
Now, she truly had no other choice but to listen to Mu Cheng.
Soon, Mu Cheng sent out an invitation...
Outside the Worlds Number One Tower.
"Madam... it's all this old servant's fault." The old man knelt before the woman, admitting his mistake.
The woman had clearly accepted reality now. "You may leave! This is probably the karma I've accumulated in this life."
After speaking, she vanished without a trace...
An old man and a young girl from the Li Family immediately came to the Worlds Number One Tower after receiving the invitation.
"You are truly the owner of the Worlds Number One Tower?" The old man immediately asked excitedly upon seeing Mu Cheng.
Beside him was a girl of about sixteen, her face a bit dirty, tightly holding the old man's hand.
The Little Demon Fox Emperor immediately heard the hidden meaning in his words. "Old man... could it be that you used to manage the Worlds Number One Tower?"
"Mhm, mhm, my grandpa used to manage it. That damned wicked woman deserves what she got today!" The girl said, gritting her teeth.
"Xiaoyi, don't be rude!" The old man shouted loudly.
Instead of listening, the girl Li Xiaoyi made a face like a child and hid behind the old man.
"This girl is really mischievous." Mu Cheng almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
He walked over and asked very seriously, "Xiaoyi, right? I want to entrust the Worlds Number One Tower to you. What do you plan to do next?"
Xiao Yao and the Little Demon Fox Emperor had long seen her extraordinary nature, so they had already anticipated this and had no objections.
"Big Brother in Black, are you an idiot? Why ask such a simple question? Did your brain get waterlogged?" Li Xiaoyi retorted.
Such innocence was very rare in this Wilderness City.
The old man was about to stop her, but Mu Cheng stopped him.
And he ruffled her hair. "I like the name Big Brother in Black, but Big Brother wants to know what you'll do."
"That's simple, of course, it's to unify Wilderness City." Li Xiaoyi was no longer willful, answering very seriously.
Mu Cheng continued to ask, "Unifying Wilderness City is indeed good, but how long do you think it would take with the Worlds Number One Tower's strength?"
"At least two years, unless you, Big Brother Heizi, can bring out precious items. Then it could be completed in a short time." Li Xiaoyi answered seriously again.
"This girl is indeed extraordinary. Let bygones be bygones! From now on, you will be the manager of the Worlds Number One Tower." Mu Cheng made his decision without hesitation.
He appointed Li Xiaoyi as the head of the Worlds Number One Tower.
"Big Brother in Black, are you really the Tower Lord?" Li Xiaoyi thought he was just joking, but who knew Mu Cheng was serious.
And he was even the legendary Tower Lord...
Mu Cheng: "Of course. I have three divine artifacts here. I'll give you five days. Let Big Brother in Black see your performance."
"No problem, Xiaoyi guarantees to unify the entire Wilderness City within five days." Li Xiaoyi wasn't surprised.
Clearly, she had experienced the harsh realities of society and had become mature and stable.
"Good, in five days, Big Brother in Black will look forward to it!" Mu Cheng ruffled her hair again.
Not long after, Li Xiaoyi and the old man left...
"This girl... she really isn't ordinary. Having such a temperament is probably related to her upbringing." The Little Demon Fox Emperor slowly commented.
Xiao Yao: "Indeed, but it's certain that the former Li Family was the first manager."
"Returning it to its rightful owner, I suppose? But I'm curious how that woman controlled the Worlds Number One Tower." Mu Cheng asked, quite puzzled.
Xiao Yao: "Sister Jiu... don't say I know Master when we go out in the future."
"This, of course, belongs to the successive Devouring Bloodline owners, what else could it be?" The Little Demon Fox Emperor also felt quite speechless.
Mu Cheng: "Alright! Let's see... how she plans to deal with the Three Great Families."
An hour later, Li Xiaoyi sent out information, saying that the Worlds Number One Tower had divine artifacts for sale.
The highest bidder would get them within six hours...
"This girl is indeed not simple. First, she's selling a divine artifact to let the Three Great Families fight over it." The Little Demon Fox Emperor said, looking at the high-tech bracelet's screen.
The starting price for the divine artifact was one star-glow crystal, with no upper limit...
As for the exact price... only the manager of the Worlds Number One Tower could see it.
Although the Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't know the price, the sale of a divine artifact was undoubtedly a sky-high existence...
Coupled with the years of open and secret struggles among the Three Great Families, they would naturally fight to the death, with no one yielding.
"Currently... I think the He Family has a better chance." Mu Cheng said, studying the data.
Among the Three Great Families' financial resources, the He Family possessed up to one hundred billion star-glow crystals, while the remaining Luo and Xiao Families each had eighty billion star-glow crystals.
Although this price was far more than just a divine artifact, since it was being sold... each family must have known the intention.
He Family Office.
"The Worlds Number One Tower is selling a divine artifact. Even if it means bankrupting the He Family, we must get it." The old man who was painting suddenly stopped.
Man in Suit: "Yes, Grandpa, our He Family will definitely get the divine artifact."
Luo Family Office.
"Damn it, this divine artifact will probably be taken by the He Family." The Luo Family old man roared in anger.
The somewhat dazed fat man next to him said, "Grandpa, I'm hungry."
Clearly, this guy was an incompetent fool, and all matters were handled by the Luo Family old man.
At this moment, a middle-aged man burst in. "Master... the Worlds Number One Tower sent a message, willing to sell a divine artifact for eighty billion star-glow crystals."
"What exactly does this Worlds Number One Tower want to do?" The Luo Family old man was extremely shocked to hear this.
However, he had no choice now. On one side was the Worlds Number One Tower, and on the other was the covetous He Family.
With this divine artifact, all problems would be solved.
"You go! This divine artifact must be acquired."
"I'll go personally right away." The middle-aged man immediately left.
Xiao Family Office.
"Grandpa, what do you think about this auction and the Worlds Number One Tower selling a divine artifact to our Luo Family?" A young man of about eighteen asked.
Next to him was a middle-aged man who looked very similar to the young man, clearly father and son.
The Xiao Family old man retorted, "My dear grandson, if you were Grandpa, what would you do?"
"Acquire the divine artifact, unite with He, and eliminate the Worlds Number One Tower." Xiao Zhantian answered directly without hesitation.
The Xiao Family old man laughed heartily. "As expected of my grandson, but we'll make plans after the He Family bids for it."
"Mhm, mhm, grandson will personally arrange it now." Xiao Zhantian also went down, beginning to prepare nervously.
Worlds Number One Tower.
"Is this girl trying to incite public outrage?" Mu Cheng looked at the plan with great worry, finally asking, still uneasy.
"Sister Jiu, are the Worlds Number One Tower's defenses really okay? They now have three divine artifacts in their hands."
Is this guy... trying to shoot himself in the foot?
"Don't worry! Aren't we here? Besides, even if not... the divine artifacts are in a sealed state. Do you think they'll have a chance of winning?" The Little Demon Fox Emperor still had this much confidence.
Xiao Yao also expressed the same. "Mhm, mhm, Sister Jiu is right... Master doesn't need to worry."
"Alright!" Mu Cheng's heart was still unsettled.
Six hours later, the auctioned divine artifact was acquired by the He Family for ninety billion star-glow crystals, while the Luo and Xiao Families on the other side also acquired divine artifacts...
Such generosity showed that even in a sealed state, divine artifacts were still terrifyingly powerful.
Another three hours passed.
He Family.
He Family.
"Damn Worlds Number One Tower! It seems we must let them know... who truly calls the shots in this Wilderness City." Old Man He was greatly frightened after learning all the details.
The middle-aged man He Yifeng reminded him, "Father, this matter might not be that simple. Let's reconsider cooperation!"
"Being able to produce three divine artifacts at once is indeed not simple... but the Worlds Number One Tower must be eliminated. Just keep an eye on the cooperation." Old Man He naturally knew this too.
But now he had no choice. Continuing to drag this out would be a loss for all Three Great Families.
To deal with the Worlds Number One Tower, cooperation was the only way...
As expected, the three families put aside their grudges and chose to cooperate to attack the Worlds Number One Tower.
The attack was scheduled for one day later.
Worlds Number One Tower.
"Is the Tower Lord in? Xiaoyi has something to report." Suddenly, Li Xiaoyi's voice came from outside the door.
Mu Cheng: "Come in!"
