Even He Chuan himself did not expect this result.
Was the question that difficult?
It was not that difficult, right?
The deduction was based on his own standard to create the test question.
How could no one pass it?
Could there be a mistake?
With the thought of the test, he did it himself.
Then, He Chuan scored 87 out of 100.
It was considered an excellent result.
But it was not considered top-notch.
It meant that there was still room for improvement.
It was impossible that no one in Glory City was better than him in leading troops, right?
Hence, he waited for another day.
But the result still disappointed him.
Among the people who came to take the test, there were not many who could reach 70, let alone 80.
If even he could not surpass it, how could he lead the three legions?
He Chuan had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being and continue to look for ways to spread his wealth.
There were still a lot of resources in the city.
Especially the military.
Due to the departure of the Azure Dragon Legion, even if the remaining three legions had two sets of equipment, their armors and weapons would still pile up like a mountain.
It was too wasteful to leave these resources to rust.
He had to think of a way to use them up.
He Chuan did some calculations and the result was that he could let the experienced hunter team bring the materials to Freedom City. He could contact the merchants who had benefited from He Chuan and sell these surplus resources.
He did it as soon as he thought of it!
He Chuan immediately called Xu Ke over and told him about this matter.
"My Lord! Your Highness! Please don't!"
Xu Ke was shocked, "We've finally saved some resources in our hands, we can't sell them!"
"It doesn't matter, if the old ones won't go, the new ones won't come. You have to learn to be willing to part with them." He Chuan smiled faintly, "Just do as I say."
Xu Ke scratched his head and still wanted to say something, but seeing He Chuan's determined expression, he didn't dare to say it and felt very uncomfortable.
He Chuan could not help but laugh.
"If you want to say something, just say it, I won't punish you."
Xu Ke was still a little hesitant, "Then your highness, make a promise..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Either do something or say it, choose one yourself."
"Sigh! I'm going all out!"
Xu Ke had no choice but to pat his thigh to cheer himself up and then slowly say his thoughts.
"Your Highness, why are you doing these thankless things every day!"
"Selling resources is easy to say, but do you know how difficult it is to do it?"
"The previous encounter with the mutated beasts had already left many people with lingering fear."
"Now, everyone doesn't dare to leave the city too far to search for resources."
"It's still unknown whether the hunters have the courage to bring the goods out."
"Moreover, even if there are fearless hunters who are willing to travel with goods and successfully arrive at Freedom City, will they come back after exchanging the goods for gold coins?"
"You can't trust the consciousness of these people too much..."
Xu Ke talked a lot.
He Chuan heard it, but he didn't care much.
What he wanted was the result of these hunters not coming back.
To spread one's wealth, of course, one had to lose before one could get their wealth back.
Doing business was called an equivalent exchange, it wasn't a loss at all.
If it could be done, it didn't matter.
Not only was money easier to carry than goods, but it could also be exchanged for what one wanted. It was more widely applicable.
Along the way, it could also verify the loyalty of the hunters to him and the attitude of the merchants heading to the Freedom City towards him. Killing two birds with one stone, why not?
Thus, Xu Ke only saw He Chuan's enigmatic smile.
After saying a lot of thoughts, seeing that the prince in front of him did not express any opinions, he could not help but feel uncertain.
"Am I thinking too much? The probability of these things happening is very small?"
"Or maybe I'm too short-sighted? His Highness already knows how to deal with the follow-up matters?"
Although Xu Ke was a little unsure, he still could not understand.
Why did he feel that His Highness was still confident in winning even though these very realistic questions were placed in front of him?
Was it an illusion?
He hesitated for a moment again.
He Chuan did not answer his questions.
He patted the Chief of Staff who had just served for a short time, smiled lightly, and left.
"Don't think too much, just give the order."
Xu Ke looked at He Chuan's retreating figure and sighed. He had no choice but to do as he was told.
That afternoon, the news spread throughout the city.
There was nothing he could do.
Not everyone in the militia was a hunter.
And the number of hunters was not large. It was impossible to transport so many goods.
Therefore, they could only use the method of a hunter leading the group and letting ordinary people follow them to transport the goods together.
There were very few people who responded.
Everyone knew how terrifying the strange beasts were, and no one dared to run around at this time.
In the end, it was the people in the militia who volunteered, and in the end, a group of a few hundred people was assembled.
It was the same as the original escort of the merchants.
Everyone left in batches.
While avoiding being wiped out by the strange beasts, they also reduced the risk of being discovered.
Along the way, the White Tiger Legion's Marshal, Lin Cheng, also sent his own direct line of soldiers to escort them.
This was what Xu Ke had requested.
On one hand, it was to prevent the militia from never returning.
On the other hand, it was also to ensure their safety.
After changing out of their worn-out battle armor, they were now wearing new equipment, and their strength was no longer the same as before.
As long as they formed a battle formation, it wouldn't be a problem to defend against the attacks of ordinary strange beasts.
Using it to escort the supplies team out could also increase the chances of success.
By the time all the hunter teams left, it was already late at night.
Lin Cheng dragged his tired body back to his own home. While eating, he talked about this matter with his sister, and his heart was filled with emotion.
"I don't know what the current City Lord is thinking, he's really unpredictable."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of food and put it into his sister's bowl, "Eat slowly."
"Brother, big shots always have their own ideas, let's do our things well and not make mistakes."
His sister smiled and reached out to touch the table several times before she finally caught the chopsticks.
"You're right..."
Lin Cheng then took her other hand and placed it by the side of the bowl.
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he asked, "Sister, don't you often read those braille books at home? How's your learning going?"
"I don't know..." His sister's expression didn't change much, she said in a calm tone, "I've been staying at home and have never gone out, I don't know anyone, it's useless to know this knowledge."
"I have a test question that the City Lord personally came up with, do you want to try it?"
"En... Brother, read it to me."
"Okay! Listen carefully, the first question, if you..."
