Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

The tension pulled at the buckles on her chest plate as her breasts swelled.

She nonchalantly said, "Can't be too careful, I fear someone might harm me."

"Now that you are in unified command of all the forces within the city, who would dare to harm you?" Fang Hao sat down opposite her.

"You never know, I have to be cautious."

Fang Hao did not continue discussing his sword practice; instead, he directly asked, "So, is there a reason you called me here?"

Her delicate hand fanning herself, Rebecca replied directly, "Yes, there are two things I need to discuss with you."

"What's up?"

"The Federal Conference is about to start, and I am going to be away next week. Since, technically, you are the City Lord, you will need to come along with me. After all, you are the one who holds the title of city manager," Rebecca stated.

If Lyss City had not changed its City Lord, Rebecca could have been the representative at the conference.

However, with a new City Lord, it would be necessary for that person to make an appearance at the conference.

"Sounds like a hassle."

"Not really, it's mostly a ceremonial requirement. You won't need to worry about anything else." Rebecca reassured him.

He thought about it and finally concluded that it didn't seem to be a big deal.

After all, he had the demon teleportation at his disposal and could return anytime; it really wasn't an issue.

"Alright, just remind me when the time comes. What's the second thing on the agenda?" After agreeing to the first matter, Fang Hao continued to ask.

"I need money. I plan to demolish the abandoned warehouses in East City and construct a bunch of residential areas and markets," Rebecca said, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Lyss City had been developing well. The quality of life for its residents and the safety of its surroundings were better than those of other cities.

However, the city was developing a little too fast.

Originally, the reconstruction plans for East City were meant for next year.

But now that she had Fang Hao's backing, Rebecca had no plans to bear this huge expense alone.

She decided to take this opportunity to have Fang Hao give her the money.

"How much do you need?" Fang Hao asked.

Considering the tax revenue from this subsidiary city, investing in Lyss City wouldn't put him at a loss.

"I estimate it will be around three million gold coins." Rebecca gave the precise figure she had already calculated.

Given the scale of the territory, three million gold coins wasn't excessive, and he found it acceptable.

Fang Hao gave it some thought and continued, "The money altogether is not the problem. My concern is that it is almost winter, perhaps it's not the ideal time to start."

"No, before winter arrives, many people will need jobs. Labor costs are lowered, and the city must provide corresponding positions for them," Rebecca replied earnestly.

Fang Hao thought that work at the site would stop in the winter due to freezing weather, making it impossible to continue working.

However, Rebecca was thinking in a completely different way.

The arrival of winter would create many unemployed people, agriculture could not be done, and many jobs had to be discontinued.

Rebecca's aim was to provide more jobs at this point to solve people's difficulties.

Even at a lower price, she needed to help the bottom layer of people tide over the winter.

Otherwise, the surrounding villages could suffer harassment from refugees, and in the second year, the city's periphery could see more bandits and rogues.

The standpoints of the two were different, so what they saw was not the same.

"Alright, I agree to this. I'll bring the money over to you this afternoon," Fang Hao agreed immediately.

Upon hearing his agreement, Rebecca smiled immediately, moved to sit beside him, and threw her arms around his shoulder, saying, "It's much easier having a reliable man around."

Fang Hao was struck with the softness resting on his shoulder and the fragrance wafting from Rebecca.

With a stirring in his heart, he asked, "By the way, have you seen Rolana recently? It has been a long time since I last saw her."

"A few days ago, Rolana went back to her place and hasn't returned yet. Are you looking for her?" Rebecca asked, rising again to return to her rocking chair.

"No, just asking," replied Fang Hao.

The two sat together, chatting about recent events and future development directions for the city.

After they had talked for a while, some merchants came to see Rebecca.

Fang Hao took his leave from Rebecca.

...

Returning to his room, Fang Hao was planning to use the demon teleportation to return to his main city.

Squeak, Squeak!!

A white-haired mouse crawled directly onto Fang Hao's desk. It held a folded piece of paper in its hands, its large eyes staring straight at him.
