Doomsday Code

Chapter 444 Expansion Plan

Chen Cheng walked out of the academy gate with a stack of information in his hand and walked leisurely towards the Earl's Mansion.

When Huidun heard that it was Chen Cheng who came to see him, he immediately asked someone to invite him in.

"How come you have time to come here?"

Chen Cheng patted the stack of information in his hand and said:

"Hard work pays off. I have finally sorted out the things inside. I'm handing them over to you. What to do next is up to you."

Huidun took the information from Chen Cheng, which was filled with densely packed magic disassembly formulas.

In the crystal book in the ruins, Chen Cheng saw the people of ancient civilization studying magic. He finally realized that the root of magic was a naturally existing machine, or source code.

Use different basic magic pattern corridors to combine magic machines of different systems, and then just input specific magic energy, and then this machine will output the results you need.

And there is almost no energy loss in this process.

Therefore, by transforming magic, it can be used as a kinetic energy converter without generating extra energy loss, which was something Chen Cheng had never dared to think of before.

And precisely because of this, Chen Cheng did not directly use the knowledge he compiled to upgrade the industry, but handed over this power to Huidun.

Huidun glanced through it briefly and then locked the information up.

"I'll have to wait until I finish reading this. You can also give me an evaluation report for reference."

Chen Cheng nodded after hearing this, and then he looked at Huidun with a smile and said:

"I heard recently that it's a bit unsafe outside the city, and there are robbers everywhere."

"When did you start to care about these things? Tophis did say something like this, but it doesn't matter. These bandits won't be able to stay around for long. The city guards will go out and wipe them out soon."

However, Chen Cheng shook his head and said:

"This is just a temporary solution, not a permanent one. Without this gang of criminals, those greedy people will gather together again soon and form a new gang of criminals."

Chen Cheng's words aroused Huidun's interest.

Although it is easy to crack down on these bandits, the fact that they keep coming and going is really a headache for him.

"If you have any good ideas, please tell me."

"The solution is very simple. I think most people become gangsters not out of their own will. Most of them become gangsters because they are desperate.

As for solving this problem, it is hard to say how to solve it, so let’s just talk about the area of Huidun City.”

“Although we can now provide jobs and food for the people in Huidun City, we must not forget the situation in the surrounding areas, such as Kailan City.

I believe most of these bandits are from Kailan City."

"So in addition to managing and improving Huidun City, we must also develop surrounding cities such as Kailan City together."

However, Huidun, who was originally excited to listen to Chen Cheng's profound ideas, lost interest instantly when he heard him talk about promoting the development of Kailan City.

"You are talking nonsense. Kailan City is not my territory. Why should he listen to me?"

"And judging from the situation in the past few months, we can't say that we haven't helped them, but what kind of people are those Kevlar guys?"

Chen Cheng smiled strangely and said:

"Since you can't control the Earl, then find someone who can, such as the State Council or His Majesty."

"You should know that Kefla is only the mayor of the city, an official appointed by the Council of State to govern the local area. It is within his duties to maintain social order and stability. My Lord Earl, you can just write a letter to His Majesty on the grounds of dereliction of duty.

Likewise, the Archon Tophis may bring him before the Council of State for malfeasance."

Chen Cheng's words reminded Huidun that Kevlar was not a nobleman, and Kailan City was not his fiefdom, so suing the State Council could really have the effect of punishing him.

"Tell me, you must have other purposes for coming up with this crooked idea."

"Alas, what purpose could I have for this? Isn't it just to improve the public security in Huidun City? I believe that after receiving the warning from the Administrative Council, Lord Kefla will definitely do his best to solve the public security problem."

"As for what Lord Kefla will do, I think he will order those gang members to go out and forcibly restrict their actions."

At this point, Huidun suddenly interrupted:

"You are kidding, right? Letting those gangsters take care of public security will only make things worse. And those businessmen who went to Kailan City..."

At this point, Huidun saw through Chen Cheng's sinister intentions.

He was thinking of letting Kevlar backfire on himself and eventually achieve his goal of annexing Kailan City.

"You're going to kill Kev with this move."

However, Chen Cheng didn't care at all and said:

"That's nothing. I guarantee that Kevlar is behind those bandits who are out and about. Otherwise, how would they live and how would they cash in the looted supplies?"

After accepting this final exam question, Chen Cheng went to the stock exchange to find the businessmen and learn about this gang of gangsters.

At the same time, knowing Tophis's ability in maintaining public security, the city guards sent out earlier would not only eliminate the bandits, but would also find and destroy the bandits' hiding places.

With these few blows, the bandits without the support of the forces behind them could not take root here at all.

Since these bandits can be suppressed and reappear, there must be someone behind them.

The only guy Chen Cheng could think of who could help the bandits and dare to go against Huidun was Kevlar, the lord of Kailan City.

And judging from the intelligence sent by Mondi and others, Kevlar is constantly making small moves in its daily business.

What’s more important is that, with the current scale of Huidun City, its development has actually reached its peak.

Unless Huidun takes out what he just gave and makes a major upgrade to Huidun City's industry.

However, Chen Cheng believed that Huidun City was not strong enough to carry out industrial upgrading at this time.

So apart from this, the only option is to annex the land and population of the surrounding areas.

And Kailan City just happened to fall into Chen Cheng's eyes.

Huidun was not unaware of this. On the contrary, he actually saw the development bottleneck of Huidun City earlier than Chen Cheng.

Although Huidun City is prosperous now, after all, its predecessor was just a small town in the most remote area of the kingdom, with a population of only a few hundred thousand.

It sounds like the population is large, but the population of Kailan City alone is almost one million.

The western border province, which is the most barren and has the lowest population density, has a population of over 10 million.

Of course, the population is in the tens of millions, but the area of the entire Western Province is almost as large as half of China in the previous life.

If these tens of millions of people were spread out over such a large area, the population density would be very low.
