Chapter 2272 Regret

In Moonlight City in winter, the air is fresh and the temperature is pleasant.

The breeze passed through the window and gently brushed the cheeks, leaving only a touch of fragrance, that was the smell of narcissus.

Such pleasant weather, neat and bright living room, but filled with a very inconsistent and depressing atmosphere.

Kailan, with a sad face, asked me to help her calculate how many gold coins she had lost during her morning trip to the palace.

Originally, this account was easy to calculate, but she refused to do it. If she tried to calculate it, she would feel like dying, so she asked me to help her calculate it. All she had to do was tell her the final result. The stimulation she received was also great. It will be smaller.

Unable to defeat her, I had to pick up a pen and paper and start calculating from memory.

Even so, she even impatiently complained that I wrote loudly.

Meowing, I've seen people being unreasonable, but I've never seen anyone so unreasonable.

For the sake of the blow she just experienced, spare her.

Within five minutes, I had completed the rough calculations. Not including the possible favor fees, the total was——

"Two hundred and thirty-one thousand gold coins, this is the minimum net income, if you include wear and tear, maintenance and other consumption expenses."

"stop!"

A loud roar resounded through the hall. Kailan gasped, his face looked slumped, and his bloodless lips were trembling.

I have seen this condition and it is caused by excessive grief.

Pursing my lips, I tentatively said, "Kailan, you."

"Stop talking and forgetting." She hugged her knees tightly and huddled up, her face pale and trembling: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."

Sighing, I stood up, sat next to her, took her trembling body into my arms, rubbed it gently, and said comfortingly: "Everyone is careless for a moment, and when they are taken advantage of, just remember next time, When talking to people who are playing politics, just don’t be too sincere.”

Kailan responded in despair, trembling for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes were lifeless, and he looked at me pitifully: "Xiaoyi, can those money never be recovered again?"

I said 'hmm'.

Kailan's complexion became even darker.

Taking a deep breath, my nose was filled with a delicate, fresh aroma, which calmed my impetuous mood. After a little calming down, I continued to comfort me: "Don't take these two hundred thousand gold coins too seriously."

"That's more than 200,000 gold coins. More than 200,000 gold coins."

"Hey, hey, hey." I gently patted Kailan's pretty face to wake her up from the despair caused by excessive sadness. I asked softly: "I want to ask you two questions."

"I'm not in the mood." Kailan turned his head and buried his face in my chest, showing an attitude of being unwilling to cooperate.

She was sad, but if she couldn't untie her heart knot now, it might affect her for a longer time, so he forced her little face back, but what she got in exchange was an expression that couldn't be more stinky.

"What are you doing!!!" The impatient tone directly expressed how bad her mood was at the moment.

"Let me settle the account for you. Once it's settled, you'll probably feel better."

"Really?" Stinky Face finally relaxed a little. She raised her eyebrows slightly with a suspicious look on her face.

"Really" I vowed.

"Then ask."

"First of all, tell me, Kellan, are you short of money?"

"It's missing!" She replied smoothly without thinking.

"Are you really short of money?" I emphasized.

".lack?"

After holding it in for a long time, did you come up with a question? Please! I am asking you questions, not you asking me questions. Besides, how do I know whether you are short of money or not?

In order to make her firm up her mind and tell the truth, I had to continue to increase the pressure: "But think about it before you say it. If you let me know that you lied to me, huh, my pocket money will be halved."

Kailan's face changed instantly and he said hurriedly: "No, no, I'm not short of money."

"Is there really no shortage?"

"There is really no shortage!" Kailan said more seriously.

"Okay, next, the second question is about the equipment enhancement machine. Do you still have the confidence to continue to improve it?"

"have!"

Kellan replied without thinking again.

Finally, I smiled: "Since you have the confidence to continue to improve the equipment strengthening machine, what are you worried about? As long as you can improve a higher quality equipment strengthening machine, someone will definitely buy it, let alone 230,000. You can earn a thousand gold coins, even half a million gold coins, or one million gold coins. Don’t you understand this truth?”

Kailan curled his lips with an unconvinced expression on his face, but had no words to refute.

"Okay, let's put the future aside for a moment. Look at the present. You can get a pocket money from me every month. The amount is no less than the monthly income of the president of a large adventurer's guild. As long as you don't overdo it, Unlike before, if you buy fake wine that costs twenty copper coins at two hundred gold coins per bottle, it will be enough for you."

Kailan's pretty face suddenly turned red, as red as a ripe tomato.

"We agreed not to mention this!" she said angrily.

Kailan is not a pretentious woman. After she adjusts her mood a little, she can't wait to start assembling the equipment enhancement machine.

The house was definitely not a good place for assembly, so I took her to the camp of Fort Vicky’s Goblin Assistance Team in Moonlight City. There was a special laboratory there, a building specially built with hardwood and other materials.

The building covers a large area, as large as dozens of football fields.

Its interior is divided into several areas, where different types of research projects are carried out.

There is actually something interesting about this research base.

Originally, after experiencing various incidents, in order to express the friendly relationship between Fort Vicky and Moonlight City, these members of the goblin assistance team who originally belonged to me were sent by Master Dewey to the Fairy Queen and the Elf Queen to drive.

As a result, she encountered strong protests from the team members. Regarding this, the Elf Queen embarrassedly asked Master Dewey for help. Unexpectedly, Master Dewey rejected him and said that his order had been issued. As for whether to obey it, he still had to wait. See if the members of the research team are happy.

The Elf Queen was very depressed and questioned: You are the boss of Fort Vicky, don't they even listen to you?

Master Dewey said innocently that Fort Wych was an equal humanitarian country, and everyone had the right to accept or reject.

The Elf Queen definitely doesn't believe this. Not to mention that she doesn't believe it. No one with some analytical skills will believe it.

So, the Elf Queen confessed to the Fairy Queen that there was nothing she could do.

Then, the Goblin Queen came to me, and I came forward to win over the goblins to assist the team members and surrender to Moonlight City.

I confessed on the spot that I couldn't do the last one, but I could win them over and help Moonlight City develop science and technology. However, no one could interfere with their patent rights and confidentiality rights.

The helpless Fairy Queen agreed to my request.

At this point, the goblin assistance team is stationed in Moonlight City in an independent capacity.

But are they really independent?

Haha, it must be fake. Don’t forget, they have been loyal to me a long time ago.

As for the theory of win over, it is just my excuse.
