Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Fang Hao looked up. The temporary camp had been dismantled and the carriages were ready.

"Amanda, Nelson, get on the carriage. We're setting off," Fang Hao announced loudly.

Everyone mounted their horses. Amanda headed towards a lone carriage, while Nelson and the Corps of Undertakers climbed onto the carriage at the rear.

Amanda beckoned, and gold flowed around her like liquid.

Underneath the carriage, it morphed into a low, square stool. Amanda stepped on the stool and onto the carriage.

The stool then transformed back into a liquid, and flowed into the carriage.

Everyone watched in dumbfounded amazement.

This was... too...er, too impressive.

Fang Hao had seen this before and naturally reacted more calmly.

Seeing that everyone was ready, he loudly ordered, "Let's go, back to Li Rong City."

The scouts advanced first, with the caravan following closely behind.

...

The return journey was even smoother.

They passed by patrol teams, none of which tried to obstruct them.

They made their way and reached Li Rong's territory by the noon of the second day.

Gazing at the huge amount of gold utensils that had been transported back, Li Rong was dumbstruck.

Seeing how the heroes who were of dark gold-tiers had disembarked from the carriage, she crushed her cigarette and approached to ask, "Heroes recruited from the ninth level?"

"Uh, yes," Fang Hao nodded.

"Damn, I should have gone! I don't have any heroes yet!" Li Rong jealously hollered.

After all, it was Li Rong who supplied the dungeon map and information. Explore more stories with empire

But her own harvest was far greater.

Watching her envious expression, Fang Hao chuckled, "This is an Undead Hero, you would need to have The Corpse Witch, and factional relationships to recruit it. Basically, there are prerequisites. You wouldn't have been able to recruit it even if you went."

"Oh, is that so?" Li Rong calmed down.

Couldn't discern the hero's race, who was fully clad in gold armor.

If it's an Undead... she dared not accept that.

While in Silver Wing City, she definitely needed to maintain her distance from the Undead, in order not to be burnt at the stake by the church.

"Of course, why would I lie to you? Moreover, I spent hundreds of precious materials to recruit it," Fang Hao said as he walked towards the Lord's mansion.

Hearing about the preconditions and the vast amount of materials used, Li Rong felt a lot calmer.

"Then, you have to give me some of the gold utensils. We agreed, each of us gets half of the dungeon loot." Li Rong hugged her shoulders, looking dissatisfied.

"Alright," Fang Hao smiled and nodded, then suddenly thought of something and added, "Oh right, about the gold utensils from the last time. I'll exchange them for Warfire Coins. Give those gold utensils to me."

Gold coins and Warfire Coins were both viable currencies.

From the previous loots in the dungeon, he and Li Rong took half each.

When he recruited Amanda, he agreed to give her all the gold utensils from the dungeon.

So now he could only exchange the share he gave to Li Rong.

"Fine, as you wish." Li Rong agreed.

Li Rong naturally agreed with Fang Hao's proposal. Her territory didn't have the blueprint for a mint, so those burial gold utensils couldn't be converted to cash directly.

Now that Fang Hao was willing to exchange them with Warfire Coins, she was naturally willing.

"Haha, that's great, Sister Li is indeed very generous."

Li Rong gave him a sideways glance, "What's the big deal, you helped me kill Sander, I haven't properly thanked you yet!"

Both of them entered the hall and sat down on chairs.

"Don't worry about it, I wanted to kill him too," Fang Hao thought for a moment before continuing, "The stores in Silver Wing City won't be repaired by winter, what are your plans?"

Upon mention of this matter, Li Rong sighed slightly.

"Sigh, what can I do? I can only wait until winter ends, and the stores are repaired. Whether people will be willing to rent them to me is still uncertain," Li Rong looked worried.

Her territory doesn't cultivate or hunt.

The development of her territory completely depended on the supply of store goods.

If nothing had happened to the stores, her development would have been far quicker than others'.

But now, as the stores supporting her development had been destroyed, her development came to a halt.

Thankfully, she had saved quite a bit of money already, otherwise, she wouldn't have lasted the winter.

"Have you ever considered my earlier proposal?" Fang Hao smiled at Li Rong.

"You mean, our collaboration on opening stores?"

"Yes, I have many cities in my territory, enough for you to display your capabilities. You won't have to worry about the rental fee for the stores, and no gangsters would dare to create trouble. You'll be able to manage them with ease. Additionally, if you're planning to open stores in native cities, I would also support you.

I have both the money and soldiers," Fang Hao spoke softly as he picked up his cup and took a sip.

Li Rong didn't answer, but pulled out a cigarette, tapped it twice on the table, lit it, and placed it in her mouth.

The room fell into silence.

It wasn't until her cigarette was half-burned that she finally asked, "How will we split the profits?"

"Eighty-twenty. I'll handle the capital and stores, you will manage them. Hence, I get eighty, you get twenty," Fang Hao said.

Li Rong shook her head, "I possess the skills and have proven in the market that I'm capable of making profitable returns. I'll be in charge of managing the stores then, why should a hands-off manager like you gain so much? How about a fifty-fifty split? We are old acquaintances after all."

"This is business, don't play the sentiment card. Your supply can't even meet the demand of the stores. You're incapable of building production factories. I'll need to be responsible for that eventually. Seventy-thirty," Fang Hao continued.

Li Rong remained silent, puffing out rings of smoke.

After a long silence, she finally continued, "I want to open two stores before winter, and by the start of spring, I want a factory with over five hundred people. Can you do it?"
