Communicate with furry animals without any barriers, and take the farm to the next level

Chapter 71 Trading
"Squeak~" The rock rat responded to Josh with a long nasal sound, and crawled out of the hole with sleepy eyes.

Qiao Xi picked it up and whispered to it, "Wake up, Sky Rock Rat. Someone important is looking for you."

"Squeak" Huh? The rock rat didn't understand and turned to look at Josh.

"I don't know what it is, maybe it's a good thing, let's go and take a look together."

Back in the living room, Josh knocked on the half-open door to politely remind them.

"Is this the Sky Rock Rat? Cute little fellow."

Esther's eyes softened as she looked at the chubby little squirrel in front of her.

Josh was a little unsure of what he meant. What was he planning to do?

Looking at the nervous little girl next to her, Esther felt that there was no need to say all the polite words that had been organized before. She could just tell her the purpose of her visit directly. She was not like those old-fashioned people who only cared about their own interests.

"Josh, we want you and your empty rock rat to do the Authority a favor."

"What is it? Can you explain it clearly? Qiao Xi doesn't quite understand." She blinked, a little confused.

"Neither the Chaoyang City Administration nor the Professional Office has any space monsters. I don't know if you know this." Esther did not directly answer Qiao Xi's question, but asked her a question in return.

"I know." Josh nodded.

"It's because someone deliberately blocked the flow of space beasts to Chaoyang City. Any space beasts in official hands cannot be transferred to Chaoyang City without a federal order. Chaoyang City's major management bureaus were established not long ago, and they still haven't obtained a space beast of their own."

"You know, whether it's transporting shipping boxes on the farm or repairing and stabilizing space rifts, they all require powerful space power. And we, Chaoyang City, a well-known pioneering city, have countless space collisions every day, which requires countless space stones to be put into use.

But the funny thing is, our Administration doesn't even have a single space monster."

"This sounds incredible. Has the expedition team never encountered this in other secret realms? This is too..."

"That's ridiculous, isn't it? Of course, the expedition team has encountered them before, and even captured a few. But our expedition team also has different powerful people behind them, representing different interests. Those space monsters that should have been sent to the Chaoyang City Administration Bureau, without exception, all died from the sequelae of crossing the space barrier."

"It's ridiculous, isn't it?" Esther said with a wry smile.

Josh was silent. Is it really okay to tell her, a small farmer, about this kind of thing? She doesn't want to cause trouble!

"As the Administration, we're facing a shortage of Space-attribute Magical Beasts, which restricts our daily work. We can only purchase high-quality Space Stones from other major cities at exorbitant prices. We're being held hostage. Even at this critical moment, they're still demanding exorbitant prices, demanding double the Federation Points from us."

"We can't even secure some of the secret realms reserved by the Administration. Qiao Xi, can you help the Chaoyang City Administration?"

"Ah? Me?" Qiao Xi pointed at himself, very surprised.

To be honest, she didn't quite understand. Although it seemed that the Chaoyang City Federal Administration was in a very difficult situation, what did it have to do with her?

The Sky Rock Rat is just a slightly smarter low-level magical beast. It is so small that it cannot solve such a big problem.

"Yes, of course. I'm not telling you anything. I just want you to understand the story behind the Chaoyang City Administration. We just need a small favor from you." "Uh, sir, why don't you just tell me what it is you're trying to do?" Qiao Xi couldn't hold it in any longer and asked directly. After saying so much, it felt like she was trying to scapegoat someone. Oh my God, Qiao Xi really wanted to cover her ears. She didn't want to hear it at all!
"Hehe, let's have the Sky Rock Rat help us charge some special artificial space stones."

Charging? This is no big deal. Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief. However, what is this special? She raised her head and looked at Esther.

What Esther didn't explain clearly was that Chaoyang City was blocked by the major city-states because of those encrypted secret realms. Those secret realms contained the secret of Chaoyang City's control over the space gates of those stable secret realms. How could they hand them over to them?

This was something Esther would never allow.

If it weren't for the recent changes in space tides, serious space collisions, severe staff shortages in the Administration, and the depletion of space stone reserves, he wouldn't have been forced to this point.

Another thing is that the few space monsters originally in the city, which could have been rented out, were also maliciously hidden and refused to be lent out. This made him most angry.

Esther's face darkened even more.

However, he didn't frown at Josh. "Josh, I will give you those special space stones that have exhausted their space energy. In return, I will no longer charge you taxes when shipping boxes. The Federal Administration warehouse will open an exchange channel for you. And I can do one thing for you personally and unconditionally. You only need to recharge those space stones. That's all."

"What about the conditions?"

"What?" Esther was a little surprised. Shouldn't she ask a few more questions?

"The condition is that until I am no longer the director of the Chaoyang City Federal Administration, you must charge these space stones for a long time and not reveal any information."

"Okay." Qiao Xi hoped that no one would know about this. She hated things that were too risky.

"Don't you have any other requests?" Esther was a little surprised. For such an important matter, shouldn't she make some more requests to satisfy him?
"No need, sir. The conditions you offer are already very generous. It's not something that is too difficult to do. Don't worry, I will keep my promise." Qiao Xi didn't want to listen to him anymore. He always felt that the more secrets he knew, the faster he would die. Oh my God, please don't involve me in your internal fighting.

Qiao Xi wished he would leave quickly, she didn't want to hear any of this.

"Okay, Josh, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation." Esther laughed.

The investigation results showed that Qiao Xi was just a small individual farmer who benefited from the farm call-up order. She had no power behind her. The farm was not developing very fast and was growing step by step. No one would focus on such an inconspicuous little girl.

She is the perfect person to work with.

Powerful high-level magical beasts can ensure her safety, not to mention that she has two of them.

Esther was very satisfied with this secret cooperation and he didn't have to worry about anything. Josh seemed to want to keep it secret even more than he did. It seemed that she didn't want these things to affect the development of the farm.

She is a practical little girl.

He likes young people like this, and he will not let her regret her decision today, absolutely.

I hope everyone will support me in the new year!
