I didn’t know any clue about this. But what I was sure about was that the new dantian alongside the slightly bigger spheres weren’t posing any threat to me.
As long as they were docile, I wouldn’t rash and try anything stupid. I’d just keep an eye over this part, hopefully gathering up more clues later on.
“Let’s go back then to catching monsters,” as I got no news about this situation, I started to shift my attention towards the world around me.
As I appeared here and gave the order to my boys to scatter around, the world was now covered with dense layers of monsters.
So I moved all the energy coming from the bones towards my left arm and started to release a dense number of my threads.
Attacking those monsters came out of the blue for them. They controlled the big city down below, and seemingly were in a dormant state.
But when my threads came, they got stirred up. However, what could they do anyway? I took control over them, forced a contract before releasing my threads around to attack more monsters.
Like this I started to replenish my exhausted storage of monsters for almost twelve straight hours. After I spent all this time, I felt quite satisfied with this. And also there were two things I had to take care of.
[I got the deal you wanted!]
At last! After all this time, the Bringold higher ups and boss agreed to do the deal of exchanging humans with me.
[For how much?]
[Every ten thousand humans, you’ll pay ten bones, the ones you used last] she sent, [and this price isn’t negotiable!]
[Ok] Having to pay only one bone per thousand humans, wouldn’t that bring me lots of humans at such a cheap price?
[But we can’t guarantee their attitude or their strength. We will just move out and buy them for you. Also you have to know that you’ll handle the full price of these humans]
Sh*t! I now knew why such a price looked so damn cheap!
They were taking these bones as their fees, not the total price of humans.
[How much will this cost me then?]
[Per ten thousand humans, you might need to add ten more bones]
This cheap? Were they playing a trick here or what?
And out of the blue it hit me. These greedy folks must have taken their time not to consider my offer, but to secure a cheap source of humans first.
Like this they would end up having bigger gains than before. But who cared? Weak humans? They wouldn’t be as weak as my humans here, right?
[I want them all to sign a loyalty contract under my name] I sent my condition, [Also when can you deliver the first batch?]
[I can do it now if you wanted]
[Not now!] I looked around. I was in the middle of the enemy territory. This state wasn’t yet under my control. [Wait for a day or so before delivering them]
[Should we move to bring more?]
[Bring as much as you can] I said before pausing for a second, [if the number was in millions, you will get one bone. But if it was in tens of millions, I’ll reward you with one bone for every ten million]
I didn’t want to play it small here. So I had to use such a way to force her to focus entirely on such a task. The more she got, the better.
I controlled an area able to hold a hundred million humans at least. Not to mention not all of them would stay there and breed.
I would also form armies and train them out of them. So the more, the better. And as things turned out here, I gained more lands needing humans to settle in.
As for this state, Texas, it was closer to Fang’s territory than to mine. But who said I couldn’t let my people inhabit Fang’s lands?
After all that dude was now in my clutches. He couldn’t say no to anything I’d ask for. It was better to move lots of fighters there to train and get better experience from dealing with Selvators.
So I’d have to first return to my capital, find suitable people to depend upon for this task. I needed people to scan and arrange the newly arrived humans, place them in teams, one to breed, one with special skills, and one with the ability to fight.
Also I needed to scatter them around and start rebuilding the damaged world here. All the cities, towns, and even counties here were all raised to the ground.
The rebuilding process was going to be a hard task to handle. So I thought about taking care of this.
I once worked in construction back in my days to secure a living. According to what I read through records, the world before the apocalypse held much importance to this rebuilding process.
I read stories about how such operations would turn nations wealthier. Even wars were ragged on to secure more work for such nations.
Destroying the human world and rebuilding it for the sake of money… What an absurd and stupid logic was that? What went in their heads to replace securing better lives for their people with war and destruction then rebuilding all this?
Damn stupid folks! It was no wonder the apocalypse hit earth at this point of time.
[You are so generous with me. What? Are you interested in having me as your girl?]
[I already have lots to keep me occupied all the time] I rolled my eyes. This wasn’t the first time they tried to approach me.
What? Was she really interested in me? Or was she just trying to get to the better side of me, trying to get more bones. [Just work hard, the more results you secure for me the more bones you’ll get]
[Ok, ok, I get it] she was acting like this for the bones indeed.
[I’ll send you the contract to sign now!]
The next moment I got the contract and I signed it. Ok girl, go and show me how desperate you were for my bones.
