1111: Mobile phone sales

Li Changkong, standing under the streetlights, felt surprised hearing what Qiao Yi said.

It seemed the existence of electric lights made them underestimate the power of the Black World's spread.

The true arrival of the Black World was no different from a world-ending disaster; even Vog Country didn't have the ability to protect everyone!

From Li Changkong's perspective, the many abandoned people in the Western Main City were a vast human resource!

Since Vog Country abandoned them, Li Village's acceptance would be a matter of course!

For so many days, Li Village's direction for power facility construction had been towards the Western Main City.

If they worked at full speed now, they could reach the Western Main City in another two days.

However, these final two days would also inevitably be the most dangerous time for the abandoned citizens of the Western Main City!

Taking out his telephone from his person, Li Changkong opened the weather forecast app.

The weather on the app showed that tomorrow there would be a heavy snowfall covering the entire Black World area!

The weather forecast ability was a built-in feature of the server rented by the System, reflected on the telephone.

Li Changkong, having experienced it, knew better than anyone what the meaning of heavy snow under the Black World's cover represented upon its arrival!

Previously, the Holy Light Array in Busen City could still hold on.

But it was because of a heavy snowfall that the entire Holy Light Array completely lost its effect, subsequently allowing monsters to break into the City!

Li Village's initial Advanced spiritual lamp also completely extinguished during the heavy snow!

Li Village's power facilities would only be able to reach the Western Main City in two days.

And during this final period, it would be a snowy day!

Unfortunately, only Su Liang and Maurice knew the recipe for the enhancement potion.

Because Maurice self-destructed that time, the recipe for the enhancement potion once again became Su Liang's secret alone.

Otherwise, if they had the enhancement potion, things would be much simpler.

"Qiao Yi, I called you here this time to help me ship a batch of goods.

Now that we've found so many people still alive in the Western Main City, take ten thousand telephones there and have them activate and use them."

Li Changkong said, reaching out and pointing at the telephones stacked in the house.

"Ship a batch of goods to the people in the Western Main City?

telephones?

What are these things?"

Qiao Yi's voice carried a hint of confusion.

This thing called a telephone was obviously a novelty to him as well.

"Are we going to save those people in the Western Main City?"

From Li Changkong's actions, Qiao Yi understood some of his intentions and then said with some hesitation, "If we really do that, we should first calm their emotions and then bring a batch of flashlights to help them hold on until the power facilities arrive, right?"

"These telephones are for calming those people's emotions.

You can open one yourself and get to know it first."

Li Changkong said, and then added, "We definitely need to bring flashlights as well; I will arrange for someone else to do that."

"Just make sure to distribute these telephones as quickly as possible.

Remember, each telephone must be given to someone with a certain level of prestige."

Li Changkong's idea was very simple.

The people in the Western Main City, under the current circumstances, must know they have been completely abandoned.

In this situation, the people there would inevitably develop various negative emotions!

Some would be pessimistic and suicidal, while others would think of retaliating against everything.

If such a large amount of negative emotions is not dealt with and suppressed in time, they might not even wait for Li Village to rescue them.

As soon as the Holy Light Array is mostly broken, the people inside will start killing each other over the remaining territory of the Holy Light Array!

Under the influence of these emotions, even bringing flashlights that can resist the Darkness would not be enough to suppress them.

After all, it's impossible to bring flashlights for everyone in a short time.

With resource shortages and no high-level control, conflict is inevitable!

At this time, a voice is greatly needed to soothe those people, give them hope, make them grit their teeth and endure the final period, and patiently wait for rescue!

And the telephone, this thing is the best broadcast!

Compared to anyone going to the Western Main City and explaining verbally, the information and images displayed on the telephone would be far more credible!

Ten thousand telephones, that's ten thousand real-time broadcasts!

Among a population of several million, it can spread the news very quickly!

"Alright, I'll do it as soon as possible."

Qiao Yi's expression also became slightly more serious.

Actually, if he looked at it from Li Changkong's perspective, there was no real need to rescue the people in the Western Main City.

After all, the number of people was simply too large!

Not to mention the difficulty of the rescue, even if they were saved, accepting all these people would inevitably carry the risk of backlash!

The best approach would be to select some valuable people from the Western Main City, like the Eastern part of Vog Country did, and take them in.

However, that was also looking at it from Li Changkong's perspective.

From Qiao Yi's perspective, it was a different scene entirely.

Population is a resource, population is wealth.

As long as those people survived, Qiao Yi would be able to rely on them to continue making a lot of money in the future!

Precisely because of this, he did not refuse Li Changkong's command.

After Qiao Yi left with ten thousand telephones, the San Ziye also learned about the information regarding the Western Main City one by one and came to meet Li Changkong.

"Master, are we really going to save those people in the Western Main City?"

Raine's tone carried some solemnity.

He himself was a citizen of Vog Country and, moreover, a Viscount.

With so many citizens in the Western Main City about to face disaster, he truly couldn't bear to watch.

But he understood even more clearly that once Li Village decided to save those people, they would face enormous challenges!

"Master, our food supply might not be able to support the consumption of so many people."

Green Na spoke up, pointing out the problem they would inevitably face after rescuing the population.

Food.

This had been a problem faced by Li Village and Electric Light City over the past few days.

Without the Sun, plants grown using normal methods couldn't grow.

The vegetables everyone was eating now were cultivated and harvested by Magicians using magic power.

Even so, the price of fresh vegetables had more than doubled compared to before, and the quantity had greatly decreased.

The reason everyone seemed to have no pressure regarding food now was because Electric Light City had large granaries accumulated over several years.

With these granaries, everyone could last for nearly a year under the current circumstances.

A year's time was enough for everyone to cultivate new types of food crops to sustain their eating and drinking.

But if they were to accept the Western Main City, with such a large influx of people, the city's granaries might not even last for two months!

The consequences of running out of food would inevitably be disastrous!

"Food..."

Li Changkong nodded slightly.

He was also aware of this problem.

Actually, he also had a plan in mind.

Two months might seem short to others, but to him, it was a very ample development period!

You should know that it only took a little over a month for Li Village to develop from a small Village to its current powerful state!

With the help of the System.

Li Changkong believed that within the two months before the food ran out, he would definitely be able to acquire a new batch of food!

This idea seemed a bit like a gambler's mentality.

But the current situation was that a population resource of over five million was right before their eyes!

If you don't take them, they'll be gone!

From the perspective of those abandoned by Vog Country, this could be considered their last glimmer of hope.

"I will deal with these hidden dangers one by one later."

Li Changkong glossed over these issues with a single sentence, and then issued the command: "Raine, Green Na, take a batch of flashlights, searchlights, and mobile power sources, as well as emergency food, to the Western Main City to help them get through the last two days."

"Yes, Master!"

The two Viscounts said no more, nodded, and withdrew.

"Dean."

After the two left, Li Changkong spoke to the Knight beside him.

"Master."

"Distribute these to the construction team and tell them to work overtime and speed up to build the power facilities to the Western Main City as quickly as possible!"

After Li Changkong finished speaking, he picked up a large bag from the side and handed it to Dean.

The contents of this package were Medals.

Several hundred Infrastructure Maniac Medals!

Over this period, the Medal Tree bore fruit, and the most frequent Medal was this one.

It just so happened that they came in handy at this time.

With the enhancement of the Medals, the construction team's progress would definitely improve overall!

After arranging everything, Li Changkong turned around and glanced at the house behind him.

A large batch of telephones was still placed in the house.

"It's time to sell these telephones as well."

Ten thousand units had already been allocated to the Western Main City, so naturally, a batch also needed to be placed in Electric Light City.

After all, information is generated by people, and the telephone bears the function of transmitting messages.

The current technological color and happy state of Electric Light City could only be known to the people of the Western Main City through telephones, thereby generating longing and hope in them.

...

An hour later.

In Electric Light City, in the various shops, a brick-like telephone was placed on the most prestigious golden display stands.

The highly eye-catching golden display stands directly attracted the attention of the citizens browsing in the shops and focused it on the telephones.

"Boss, what is this thing?

I haven't seen it before."

As soon as the items were placed, customers were immediately attracted and stepped forward to inquire.

"This thing is absolutely great!"

The Boss heard the question and immediately stepped forward with a smiling face to introduce it: "This thing is called a telephone!"

"Its function is somewhat similar to a flashlight; it can emit strong light without wires to dispel Darkness!"

"So this is a new model of flashlight?"

The customer said with some understanding.

"No, no, no."

The shop Boss waved his hand and said, "Emitting light is just the most insignificant of the telephone's many abilities."

"In fact, this thing can also make calls!"

"As long as you have a telephone, two people, even if one is in Heaven and one is underground, can talk and chat without any hindrance!

It's like the legendary high-level Magician Master's spell of words!"

"Besides making calls, the telephone can also take photos, and it can..."

"In short, this is absolutely the Peak of technology on our Magic Continent today!

It is also one of the iconic products of our Electric Light City!"

The shop Boss dared to place the item on the display stand, naturally having done his homework.

Similar scenes were unfolding in many electronics shops in Electric Light City.

And such a novel item, selling for the first time now, was offered at a limited-time 50% discount, with a purchase price of only five gold coins!

Many people with some means in the city rushed to place orders!
