Chapter 944
The Corrupted Fate
Yang Xia lied and said there wasn't much storage space, tentatively asking A'Za's attitude.
This approach was truly ingenious, as it did not expose the difficulties they were currently facing, and it also kept the other side guessing about the extent to which their military equipment had been updated.
“Sure, no problem.” A-Za felt he wasn’t at a disadvantage and agreed without hesitation.
This was also out of gratitude for Yang Xia, which is why he agreed so readily.
The previous incident left a deep impression on him—Yang Xia had done a great favor for the Claw Qi Kingdom, but he hadn't given anything in return, and he always felt somewhat indebted to him.
This is also where Yang Xia's brilliance lies: he was exceptionally generous and did not make any excessive demands on A'Za, which instead made the other party feel guilty, thus leaving himself a way out.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Now we have storage space for our old military equipment, which is a great help to our Great Zhou Kingdom. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
Yang Xia was overjoyed that the other party agreed so readily and kept thanking A'Za.
Now their big problem is solved, and those military equipment can be freed from the fate of corrosion.
"It's nothing, I haven't properly thanked you for what happened last time."
A-Za didn't take it seriously, thinking it was a good opportunity to thank Yang Xia—he didn't want to owe anyone anything.
The two had a very pleasant conversation, and their relationship grew much closer without them even realizing it.
This situation caught Cahill somewhat off guard. Before he could even voice his objections, Azha readily agreed. If he were to voice his opposition, it would seem like he was overstepping his authority.
If I make my behavior too obvious, Ah-Za will realize something is wrong, and I might not be able to stay here any longer.
But seeing Yang Xia achieve his goal so easily, he still felt extremely uneasy. He felt incredibly frustrated if he didn't cause some trouble.
“Yang Xia, you’ve occupied such a large area of Zhuaqi Kingdom for nothing; you should pay for it.”
“If they occupy our space, they should pay rent, especially since it’s such a large area. They should be compensated.”
Cahill couldn't come up with a better way to cause trouble after thinking for a long time, so he actually made this request: to ask Yang Xia for compensation.
Yang Xia chuckled inwardly, knowing this guy was trying to sabotage things and had only made this request because he couldn't think of a better reason. To Yang Xia, this was nothing.
Yang Xia's vision is far broader than Cahill's. The other party only focused on immediate gains, pressuring Yang Xia to pay up, but Yang Xia willingly conceded profits to the Claw Kingdom, using this as an opportunity to establish a good cooperative relationship.
This is something I've been longing for, and it's worth spending any amount of money on.
"Of course, no problem. I am willing to give the Claw Kingdom sufficient compensation and will never let you suffer a loss."
“If the Kingdom of Jagi agrees to store these old military equipment, I can share the new military equipment with you for free.”
Yang Xia's generous reply invigorated Azha. He hadn't expected Yang Xia to be so magnanimous, immediately silencing Cahill.
Moreover, A-Za was very tempted by the attractive offer given by Yang Xia.
As everyone knows, the weaponry of the Clawed Qi Kingdom is far inferior to that of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Now that Yang Xia is willing to share with them for free, this is something they never dared to dream of. No wonder A'Za is so excited and has an even better impression of Yang Xia.
At this point, he no longer believed Cahill's words, but only his own judgment—he knew that Yang Xia was a trustworthy person, and very righteous in every way.
It was just occupying his own space to store military equipment, yet Yang Xia was so generous that even he felt embarrassed.
Yang Xia was truly grateful to the Kingdom of Zhuaqi—he helped solve the drought, and now this action made it impossible for Azha to refuse.
Cahill was surprised that Yang Xia would be so generous, agreeing without a second thought and offering such tempting terms. He immediately sensed that something was amiss.
Seeing Azar's excited expression, Cahill felt even more uneasy.
If their relationship continues to be amicable, I won't be able to stay in the Kingdom of Jawqi, and my revenge plan will be completely ruined.
"Your Majesty, let's consider this matter carefully. We must not agree to it hastily."
Cahill suddenly went back on his word and tried every means to thwart Yang Xia's plan.
He was the one who suggested that Yang Xia pay the rent, but now he wants to go back on his word and even wants to kick Yang Xia out of the Claw Kingdom.
"That's settled then, there's nothing to consider. Yang Xia is so righteous, if our Claw Qi Kingdom were to make things difficult for him, people would gossip."
Aza finally realized the situation and, disregarding Cahill's objections, readily agreed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. It's settled then."
Yang Xia quickly seized the opportunity to finalize the matter, preventing Cahill from causing any trouble.
“No problem, I’m sure our cooperation will be very pleasant.” A’Za was particularly straightforward this time, and immediately made the decision with Yang Xia.
Although he was somewhat foolish and easily manipulated by Cahill, Yang Xia's actions this time caught Cahill completely off guard.
A-Za was completely shocked by Yang Xia's actions, which moved him deeply, and he had no reason to refuse.
Even though he trusted Cahill immensely, he wouldn't refuse such a lucrative deal. The benefits to the Clawed Kingdom would be immense once this transaction was finalized with the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Yang Xia returned victorious, having finally subdued King Aza of the Claw Qi Kingdom, thus providing them with a perfect place to store their military equipment.
"Your Majesty is wise. Thanks to your insistence on giving it a try, our big problem has been successfully solved."
General Meng Yu gave Yang Xia a thumbs-up in admiration—it seems that most of the time it's best to follow Yang Xia's arrangements.
After some events, General Meng Yu became even more convinced of this.
In his mind, Yang Xia became more and more magical—whatever he decided could be accomplished smoothly, with almost no mistakes.
"Yes, that's why we say anything is possible with human effort. We must always try our best and never give up until the very last moment."
Taking this opportunity, Yang Xia taught General Meng Yu a lesson, and General Meng Yu nodded repeatedly in admiration.
"Your Majesty, the next step is to deal with the corrosion marks on those military equipment. The corrosion is quite severe, and it will take a long time to process."
"According to the researchers, it will take about two months."
General Meng Yu knew that although the storage space problem had been solved, dealing with these corrosion marks was still a huge undertaking.
"Yes, it's taking too long. I should find a quick way to process these military equipment as soon as possible and transport them to the Kingdom of Jaqi, lest things get complicated."
Yang Xia frowned, knowing that time couldn't be wasted. If Cahill continued to fan the flames, things might change.
Although A'Za was very tempted by the attractive conditions he offered, no one could guarantee that things wouldn't change over time. With this in mind, Yang Xia decided to look for ways to quickly address the equipment corrosion.
Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is currently no quick solution. Handling it manually would indeed take a very long time.
It seems Yang Xia will have to continue searching for treasures in the system's shop. Whenever he encounters a special situation, Yang Xia will turn to the system for help.
He went back into the system store to look for a suitable item, and sure enough, he found one.
This is a powerful anti-corrosion spray, and it's quite expensive. However, Yang Xia is very willing to spend money on these things.
Yang Xia pressed the redemption button without hesitation. Although it cost him nearly 10,000 points, he felt it was all worth it.
He handed the corrosion-removing spray he had exchanged to General Mengyin, instructing him to treat the corroded military equipment one by one.
"Your Majesty, these treasures you gave me are too amazing! The effect of removing corrosion is terrifying. The researchers simply cannot believe their eyes."
"According to them, it would have taken two months to process all this military equipment, but now it only takes two days. Your Majesty, where did you get this treasure from?"
General Mengyin was also shocked by this situation and kept asking questions, wanting to know how Yang Xia had obtained these treasures.
"This is a secret that cannot be revealed. It was given to me by a master. You just need to carry out the orders."
Yang Xia smiled mysteriously, of course he couldn't reveal the truth—it was a secret that belonged only to him.
"Your Majesty, these corroded weapons will be repaired soon. When shall we transport them to the Kingdom of Zhuaqi?"
After hearing what Yang Xia said, General Mengyin stopped pressing for details and seriously discussed the next steps with him.
"Of course, the sooner the better. The processed weapons can be shipped to the Kingdom of Jagi now."
Yang Xia immediately issued an order, and a large number of weapons began to be transported to the Kingdom of Zhuaqi.
Such swift action left Cahill and Yoo Ji-soo with no chance to interfere. They were completely powerless to intervene this time.
A-Za was completely won over by Yang Xia this time, and was determined to do as Yang Xia asked.
Despite their best efforts to obstruct it, it was too late—Yang Xia's large quantities of weapons had already been continuously transported over.
"That damned Yang Xia is so cunning, and his actions are too swift."
Cahill cursed through gritted teeth.
Everything had settled down, and the military equipment had been successfully transported to the Kingdom of Zhuaqi. Azha instructed his men to put the equipment into the largest defense warehouse.
"Your Majesty, our king said that the new weapons will definitely be delivered to the Kingdom of Jaguar in two months."
The guard in charge of transporting the weapons reported this to A'Za, who nodded in relief, as he trusted Yang Xia quite a bit.
Yang Xia successfully solved this major problem, and he no longer had to worry about it.
When Yang Xia redeemed the anti-corrosion spray in the system shop, the system gave him a corresponding prompt.
[Congratulations, host! The system version has been fully upgraded. This version can now take you to another world.]
The system had actually been upgraded, and it could even send Yang Xia to another world. This completely new situation left Yang Xia somewhat bewildered.
The previous system allowed Yang Xia to redeem various super treasures, which already satisfied him greatly. Now, this new feature has been added.
However, Yang Xia knew nothing about this function. He had no idea that there was another world, let alone what it would be like.
What's it like in another world?
Yang Xia began communicating with the system with great interest, as he also enjoyed exploring the unknown world.
It was because of this passion that he came here, established the Great Zhou Kingdom, and now everything is so perfect.
[It's hard to explain the situation in another world in just a few words, so let you experience it for yourself!]
The system actually allowed Yang Xia to personally experience the differences of the other world, which Yang Xia was naturally eager to do.
Yang Xia had just nodded when he suddenly felt a blinding light appear in front of him. He knew that the system was about to take him to another world to experience it firsthand.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that the scene before him had not changed, and he was still in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Strange, is this another world?" Yang Xia muttered to himself, somewhat unable to believe what he was seeing.
The system clearly wanted me to experience another world, but I didn't see any changes. Could it be that there was something wrong with my sensory system?
Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, the system's voice sounded again.
In this alternate world, the Great Zhou Kingdom is still in its early stages. The Ivory Kingdom borders the Great Zhou Kingdom and is extremely wealthy, primarily producing oil. Therefore, the people of that country are not to be trifled with; you only need to know a little about them.
[The Kingdom of Phil and the Kingdom of Great Zhou are separated by the sea. Phil is highly advanced in science and technology, but due to its religious beliefs, its cultural development is relatively low, and Great Zhou is not well-regarded in Phil.]
[Moonlight Kingdom is located north of Phil Kingdom, and is the most powerful nation in this other world.]
……
The system gave Yang Xia a detailed introduction to the situation of these countries in the other world.
However, Yang Xia looked completely bewildered. He knew nothing about this situation and only learned about the other world through the system's introductions.
Yang Xia sensed no obvious changes in his surroundings. As for what to do next, he would probably have to follow the system's instructions.
As for why he came to this other world and what he was going to do next, Yang Xia had no idea. He was completely bewildered.
[The Great Zhou Kingdom in the original world had become extremely powerful under your control, so we designed the next map for you.]
Just as Yang Xia was at a loss, the system continued to tell him more information, helping him to sort out his thoughts and let him know what to do next.
Therefore, your mission in this other world is to develop the Great Zhou Kingdom into a powerful nation like the Great Zhou Kingdom in your original world. Once you complete the mission, you will receive corresponding rewards.
The system completely explained to Yang Xia what the next task was, and only then did Yang Xia understand why the system had sent him into another world.
However, the system gave him so much information at once that he felt a bit confused and needed to process it systematically before he knew what to do next.
Yang Xia carefully reviewed all the information the system had given him, fully digesting it. (End of Chapter)
