Devouring City: My Mobile Town Evolves Infinitely

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a while, Luo En turned on the power switch and picked up the walkie-talkie beside him. “Everyone has done well! We’ve created a miracle! Everyone, come to the square later. Let’s have breakfast together!”

[City Lord System: Congratulations to the host for completing the resistance battle and unlocking the Merchant City System!

“Merchant City System…” Luo En muttered puzzledly as he listened to the voice in his mind.

Then, he turned on the System to check.

There were all kinds of food in the Merchant City System. There were also grains such as rice, dried meat, various vegetable seeds, and so on. The Evolution Points needed to purchase them were also different. Of course, there were also high-tech items like drones. However, the Evolution Points needed to purchase them were astronomical to Luo En currently!

Luo En muttered to himself, “Looks like food isn’t a problem anymore…”

Then, he recalled in his mind and knew that the head chef of the mobile city was called Chen Wei. So, Luo En pressed the intercom button and shouted, “Chen Wei!”

Not long after, a person hurried over. Upon entering, he lowered his head and said respectfully, “City Lord! You called for me?”

Luo En looked at the person and said slowly, “Yes! You heard what I said just now. Make more delicious food to reward everyone later!”

After hearing what Luo En had said, Chen Wei looked pained and very awkward. He replied with a bitter smile, “City Lord, this… this…”

Hearing Chen Wei stammer, Luo En looked at him coldly and said, “Why? You’re not willing?!”

Chen Wei hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied in a panic, “No, City Lord! It’s not that I’m unwilling, but… it’s because we don’t have enough food in the city. If we were to add extra food for all, our food will only last for another five days at most and in the situation where we can’t eat our fill!

“Seeds have just been planted. It will take at least a month to harvest.”

Upon hearing this, Luo En laughed in his heart. He couldn’t help but feel glad that the Merchant City System was unlocked in time. He smiled and said, “It’s alright! I’ll solve the food problem. Just cook as much as you can! It must be sumptuous!”

“Yes, City Lord!” Chen Wei took his leave respectfully and headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

After Chen Wei left, Luo En looked at the System again.

After a rough check, Luo En had also learned the price of food and grains. One catty of rice required one Evolution Point, and one catty of dried meat required five Evolution Points; the prices of some other food were also between one to ten Evolution Points.

As for vegetable seeds, they were slightly more expensive. Each bag had ten seeds and cost basically between ten to fifty Evolution Points.

Luo En looked at his remaining 2,000 Evolution Points and decided to buy 20 bags of potato seeds, 20 bags of corn seeds, 100 catties of rice, and 100 catties of dried meat.

Promptly, without hesitation, Luo En bought them in the Merchant City System. He spent a total of 1,000 Evolution Points!

Luo En’s heart ached. He felt like crying but had no tears. He muttered to himself, “I’m still too poor! I have to continue mining ores! With ores, I can have everything!”

With that, Luo En left the control room and headed for the square.

At this moment, the square had already been packed with people. A group of guards was maintaining order.

“Hey, what kind of food do you think the City Lord will give us? Although we didn’t eat badly in the past, it wasn’t considered good either!”

“I don’t know! The best I’ve had in my life was a potato, so it is probably that also this time.”

“Not necessarily. I don’t think it will be that good. At most, it’ll just be a white steamed bun.”

Everyone was murmuring among themselves guessing what the breakfast later would be.

Soon, Luo En had arrived at the square. Looking at the dark square, he said loudly, “Silence! Everyone has done well this time. Breakfast will be ready soon!”

“Thank you, City Lord! Long live the City Lord!”

Everyone sat down quietly and waited expectantly.

Soon after, a strong aroma wafted in from a distance. Everyone became excited when they smelled the aroma and unconsciously swallowed their saliva. They sniffed the enveloping aroma greedily and stared intently at where the kitchen was with wide eyes.

Immediately after, the chefs came out pushing dozens of small carts filled with fragrant food.

“Smells good! There… There are roasted potatoes! Oh my god! Am I seeing things?! It’s really roasted potatoes!”

“It smells so good! There is corn!”

“Look! There are white steamed buns and porridge!”

Looking at carts full of food, everyone could no longer remain calm.

Luo En said at the right time, “Everyone, quiet down! Everyone has a share! Everyone can get a potato, a corn, a steamed bun, and a bowl of porridge!”

Thump!

Everyone’s heart was pounding as they rushed to the carts to collect their share of food.

They had thought that they could only eat one potato at the most, but even eating one potato would satisfy them! However, they had not expected Luo En to be so generous! He actually allowed them to eat so much! At this moment, they were excited beyond words!

Instantly, the square was in chaos.

“Don’t fight! Line up one after another!” Luo En shouted when he saw the chaotic square.

Everyone immediately quietened down and lined up obediently.

Soon, everyone received their food happily.

“City Lord! This is yours!” After everyone had collected their food, Chef Chen Wei handed a share of food to Luo En and said respectfully.

Luo En nodded and stood up from his seat. He said loudly, “Everyone, let’s eat! I’ll also eat the same food as all of you! In the future, we’ll work together to defend against external enemies like yesterday!”

“Yes, City Lord!”

No one had expected that Luo En would eat the same food as them. This immediately made their admiration for Luo En surged like a torrential river in endless flow.

“It smells so good!”

“This is awesome! I’ve never had such a sumptuous breakfast in my life! Long live the City Lord!”

Everyone cheered and stuffed food into their mouths continuously, savoring the taste.

After Luo En had finished eating, he got up from his seat and walked towards Chen Wei, who was savoring his food. He said slowly, “Chen Wei! Come over here!”

Chen Wei obeyed and followed him; his heart was puzzled.

After Luo En had stopped a distance from the square, Chen Wei immediately asked respectfully, “City Lord! Why did you call me?”

Luo En turned to look at Chen Wei and took out the seeds and food he had bought. He said, “I called you here to tell you some good news. Here! I’ll leave the food and seeds to you!”

Chen Wei lowered his head and took the seeds and food from Luo En’s hands. His hands were trembling slightly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Luo En. He said excitedly, “City Lord! This… Where did all these food and seeds come from? So much!”

“I have said not to ask what you shouldn’t ask! I want to see the results in a month!” Luo En ignored Chen Wei, turned and left; only a voice lingered.

“Yes!” Chen Wei bowed at the same spot and said.

Then, he took the heavy food and seeds he was holding and rushed to the plantation and kitchen.

The small detector should be ready by now! Luo En thought to himself as he walked towards the manufacturing plant.

Very soon, Luo En arrived at the manufacturing plant. It was a place that emanated special smells everywhere. All kinds of clanking sounds filled the place.

At this time, the engineers were holding five small detectors in their hands, inspecting them carefully and occasionally exclaiming in admiration.

When Wang Cheng saw Luo En walk in, he immediately went up to him and said with a fawning smile, “City Lord! You’re here!”

Luo En nodded and said slowly, “How is it? Have you made the detectors?”

“Reporting to the City Lord! Fortunately, we did not fail! Five small detectors have been made! They are over there!” Wang Cheng replied respectfully and pointed to the location where the detectors were placed.

Following Wang Cheng’s pointed direction, Luo En saw five small detectors neatly placed on the ground. He said happily, “You guys have done well! With these five detectors, we will be able to find more ores! Wang Cheng! Send people to start work immediately!”

“Yes, City Lord!”
