As she closed her eyes to rest, the Nightsky City was bustling with activity.A few hours later, the first batch of ice had basically been made, and everyone rushed to the ice-collecting place.They went there in an uneasy mood, but it didn't take long for them to return happily.At first, they felt that the pie falling from the sky was a little unreal, but when the money really entered their pockets, they were very happy that it was real.Of course, in addition to being happy, no one would think that they had made a fortune.Next, they worked harder in the latter half of the night.At dawn, the last batch of ice was transported to the center of the city.Suddenly, if someone were to overlook Nightsky City from above, they would be able to see that the center of Nightsky City was completely covered in ice.As far as the eye could see, there were ice cubes everywhere. They were so white that they made people feel cold just by looking at them.Compared to them, the crowd were ex
The few of them were definitely unable to hear what they were saying. However, one of them spoke with great interest while the other nodded repeatedly. Clearly, the transaction was going well.Soon, several large carriages pulled the goods and passed by them. Although the goods were obviously covered with ordinary linen, the group of people could tell at a glance that they were ice.Whether it was its shape, the cold air it brought, or the water stains on the sackcloth, they were sufficient to prove this."Humph, what's so strange about it? This kind of deal is a pie falling from the sky for anyone. The City Lord's Mansion is also a human being. How can they not pick up money?""You're right. However, looking at the carriages, it seems that the City Lord's Mansion wasn’t idle tonight.""Well, now that the people are rich, everyone's living standards will be higher, and business will be more developed. When the City Lord is rich, the taxes will be more reasonable. Everyone will be
The temperature began to rise slowly, but unfortunately, most of the people were asleep, so they didn't notice.By noon, the temperature in the city had reached an extremely high degree.Many people were awakened by the heat in their sleep. When they opened their eyes, they seemed to be in a daze for a while, but at the same time, they seemed to have come to a new world in their dreams.It was an extremely high temperature.Under the interference of the heat, they felt the scene in the room illusory and ethereal when one looked into the distance.What made them feel the temperature most directly at this time.They were almost wet all over, and the feeling of sweat dripping down their backs made them feel very uncomfortable."F*ck, why is it so hot?"They were woken up by the heat, and their bodies were sticky and almost soaked.Most of the people in Nightsky City had never felt so hot before.They kicked the thick quilt aside irritably, then got up one by one tacitly, walked
"The water in this pool is boiling. All the things in the water are dead.""What?"Hearing this, Luo Jin suddenly stood up.As he stood there and his feet touched the ground, he instantly felt that the ground was hot enough to burn his feet through the soles of his shoes.The temperature...If the temperature continued to rise, Nightsky City would fall into a state of despair and terror.At that time, Nightsky City would become a land of raging flames, and nothing would exist.The most infuriating thing was that even now, Nightsky City didn't even know why the temperature was rising, let alone stop it from rising.What should he do?If the sunlight was too strong, they could cover the sun, and if there was a fire, it could be put out.But..!"Father, what should we do?" Luo Ying'er frowned slightly.Luo Ying'er had always been smart and calm, but now she couldn't make up her mind. Under such high temperature, people were easy to lose their minds in such an atmosphere, and s
"Father, if Samuel is the mastermind behind this deal, do you think he'll show up before the ice is sold out? I don't think so. Of course, this is from the perspective of Heavenly Calamity.""If it is a man-made disaster, let alone Samuel, the murderer will not suddenly appear before the ice is sold out, right?"Hearing this, Luo Jin slapped his thigh. What his daughter said was very reasonable, but he had ignored it for a while. "Then what should we do now? Buy some ice and then quietly wait?" asked Luo Jin.Luo Ying'er smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, the City Lord's Mansion earned a lot of money from him by selling ice yesterday. Don't you think the money is hot from beginning to end? And you don’t want it. You might as well return it to him in this way."Hearing this, Luo Jin nodded. That was true.In fact, Luo Jin really didn't intend to take the money when he sold the ice last night.Up to now, he had put the ice money in another place. The purpose was that if
"The weather is too hot. Although we have a lot of ice, unfortunately, it has melted a lot.""According to the rules and our profits, we estimate that the price should be at least ten times higher before we can maintain the cost. However..."Ten times the price. After this morning's business transaction, the price had continuously risen to ten amethysts per kilogram. If one were to double the price, that would be a hundred amethysts in total.But how long can a kilogram of ice last in such an environment?It probably wouldn't last more than an hour.How could this be?Some people had calculated that it would take at least dozens of kilograms of ice to spend a day peacefully. If the price were to be increased by ten times, it was estimated that many people would have their wallet dug out."But we also know that if we sell it at ten times the price, everyone may be able to afford it today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow!""I heard from Samuel that such
As soon as they saw the city lord, they rushed over one after another."City Lord, you've come.""City Lord, the weather is extremely hot right now. We are almost unable to endure it. However, this ice seller suddenly... suddenly wants to discuss a decision. We can’t buy ice right now.""City Lord, please go and negotiate with them. If we don't have ice here, we can't live.""That's right. City lord, you... you have to uphold justice for us."In the current situation, everyone could only pray that the city lord would come out and solve the ice problem.Luo Jin nodded, and then he led a few servants and Luo Ying'er towards the seller.After chatting with the servants over there for a while, Luo Jin led his men into the temporary shop.The group of people waited anxiously. About a quarter of an hour later, Luo Jin came out with his men."Everyone, I've learned about the situation. They are indeed discussing how to sell this ice. They also promised me that they would try their be
"There are so many people in Nightsky City, and just to make up for the difference in price is probably a huge sum of money. This isn't something that anyone should be able to bear. City Lord, I am truly impressed by your courage."Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. When they saw that it was the shopkeeper, they all stood up in surprise."The owner, it's the owner.""Oh, the owner has finally come out. We've been waiting for a long time.""Hurry up and sell the ice, shopkeeper. We really can't stand the heat.""Yeah, hurry up. How much do you want? Just tell me."Luo Jin hurriedly walked up to him with the help of his servants. Then, he smiled and said, "Brother, on behalf of all the citizens of the city, I hope that you can sell ice to save people as soon as possible, otherwise..."The merchant quickly lowered his head and said, "City shopkeeper, you don't have to be so polite. The bosses have already told us that it's a business to sell ice, but we have to conside
