Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

How about one year?

Qianluo Shaman exchanged a glance with Chief Buri, both a bit incredulous.

Chief Buri patted his chest and assured, "No need for a year, we can finish it in three months!"

Three months?

Linglong’s eyes immediately lit up, "Deal!"

Chief Buri asked cautiously, "If we really finish in three months, will the Great Xia Empire give us formal citizen status?"

Linglong nodded affirmatively, "Of course."

"Then there’s no problem!" Chief Buri laughed heartily.

Both agreed quickly, as if afraid the other would back out.

Linglong, having achieved her desire, said to Remo at the side, "Lord Remo, temporarily put aside the vinegar brewing workshop and join the construction of the New Imperial City. Coordinate the needs of your kin."

After Linglong spoke, she took out a gold medal and handed it to Remo.

She explained, "This is the token from the Crown Prince, with this token you can mobilize all resources of the Great Xia Empire at will."

Remo bowed, carefully accepting the small gold medal, almost the same size as his fingernail.

The tiny gold medal felt as heavy as a mountain in his palm.

Remo said gravely, "Rest assured, I will do my best."

Linglong nodded, then solemnly looked at Qianluo Shaman.

"A gentleman’s word is his bond!"

"I’ll give you one last chance!"

"If you give up now, I can pretend you’ve never spoken before. Just working in the workshop for a few years can also grant you citizen status in the Great Xia Empire."

"But if you persist and ultimately fail, then you’ll face legal consequences, and by then it will be too late for regret."

Upon hearing this, Qianluo Shaman, without hesitation, said, "Thank you, Lady Linglong, for your concern, but our minds are made up, no need to reconsider! Rest assured, we promise to complete all tasks within the stipulated time, otherwise, we’re willing to accept any punishment."

Linglong nodded, speaking solemnly, "Design Institute staff will come to assist you in constructing the imperial city, as long as you complete it within the specified time, I promise the conditions you asked for will absolutely be honored!"

At this moment, Chief Buri suddenly spoke, "Lady Linglong, there’s one more question."

Linglong looked at him, nodding, "What question?"

Chief Buri glanced back at a piled-up stack of corn like a mountain, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lady Linglong, while we work, can we at least have enough to eat? If we can’t have a meal every three days, even every five days would suffice."

After speaking, fearing Linglong’s suspicion, he hurriedly explained, "Our Behemoth Race, though naturally strong, consumes a lot, and we work better when fed."

Linglong smiled gently, "Rest assured on that, an army marches on its stomach. Since you’re working for the court, naturally, we won’t let you go hungry."

Having said that, seeing the two looking expectantly, Linglong waved her sleeves and said, "The court lacks everything except food. Building the imperial city is hard labor, there’s no reason for you to eat only once every three to five days. During the construction period, there will be no food rationing. Eat as much as you like."

With these words, Qianluo Shaman and Chief Buri’s faces immediately lit up with joy.

These two are among the few clever ones in the Behemoth Race.

They are well aware of their people’s appetite.

If fed freely, these over a hundred Gold Behemoths could devour an entire city.

This is why the Behemoth Race is one of the top ten royal families in the Half-Beastman World, but always struggle to have enough to eat.

They simply eat too much.

The resource production in the Half-Beastman World is scarce.

If the food goes to Behemoths, what would the Beast God eat?

Thus, Qianluo Shaman and Chief Buri’s expectation was a full meal every five days.

The worst-case scenario should not exceed seven days, otherwise, they’d lack the energy to work.

Ideally, it should be every three days.

A meal can last the Behemoth Race three days without hunger.

As long as they have a full meal every three days, their physical strength remains at peak.

But what they didn’t expect.

Was that Linglong would straightaway say they could eat as they pleased.

At this moment, Chief Buri even felt a bit of regret.

He had answered too hastily just now.

Had he known Linglong agreed to unlimited food supply during the construction period.

He should’ve said it would take half a year to complete.

So, they could have eaten for three more months.

But things are as they are, he no longer has a chance to change his answer.

Chief Buri can now only hope, praying that after obtaining citizen status of the Great Xia Empire, their treatment won’t deteriorate too much.

If they can still have enough to eat every day, that would be great.

Linglong found a pile of free labor, feeling quite pleased.

She was worried the construction progress of the New Imperial City was too slow to match Zhao Yi’s enthronement ceremony.

Now, with a group of Gold Behemoths joining, the schedule would surely advance significantly.

Moreover, most importantly.

These Gold Behemoths are so honest, it’s a bit excessive.

When Linglong heard Chief Buri speak earlier, she thought he was about to negotiate terms.

Turns out, it was simply about getting enough to eat.

Linglong almost burst out laughing at this condition.

In the New World, they are short of everything but not food.

The biggest worry among the people of the New World nowadays is the inability to preserve surplus food.

Now, with a group of big consumers of food, they can’t be more thrilled. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The only regret Linglong had was that there aren’t enough Gold Behemoths.

Over a hundred Gold Behemoths scattered across the vast construction site of the New Imperial City are like islands in a vast sea.

If only there were a few thousand Behemoths, even a bit weaker than these Gold Behemoths, the construction timeline could be greatly advanced.

After all, building an imperial city is hard labor.

These Behemoths don’t need to think, just act according to instructions.

While pondering, Linglong suddenly felt a sensation, instinctively raising her head to look above.

At that moment, a series of cries shouted down from above.

"Help!"

"Face me if you dare!"

"So high, I’m afraid of heights!"

"Eh, aren’t those the chiefs? Why are they here?"

Hearing the cries from above, Qianluo Shaman and Chief Buri, along with the Gold Behemoths, instinctively looked up.

Then, they saw a huge swarm of Behemoths falling from the sky.

These Gold Behemoths were initially stunned, then quickly reached out to catch all the ordinary Behemoths.

"Du Li, you were also captured?"

"Weren’t you at the clan territory, how did you get caught here?"

"Gasp! Those people fought from Beast King City to our territory in such a short time?"

"Why so many people? Was our territory completely overrun?"

At this point, a Gold Behemoth asked the most critical question.

"What about the Beast God?"
