Gu Chen wanted to end the conversation with just one sentence.

Shangguan Qing was speechless, and he doubted whether this person was stupid or not. However, if he could become the captain of a base, he should be a wise character.

Mu Yang was getting anxious. What was wrong with his boss? He was totally out of shape today. He was even more certain that he had taken a fancy to her. He was thinking about how to bring the two of them together.

At this moment, as if realizing that his words were inappropriate, Gu Chen hurriedly explained.

"No, City Lord Shangguan, what I mean is that you can expand as much as you want. The land outside the base is unowned. Whoever has the ability to occupy it will own it."

Shangguan Qing felt relieved immediately after hearing this.

"In that case, I'll leave you a hundred miles. I've already occupied Dream City outside of that hundred miles. Now that we've settled these matters, we won't bother you anymore."

Shangguan Qing didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he thought about leaving.

Mu Yang suddenly became anxious. It was rare for his boss to lose his composure towards a woman, especially since he felt that this woman was a perfect match for his boss.

Since the boss can't talk to others, I have to come out and smooth things over myself.

"City Lord Shangguan, we're really curious about how you expanded. I heard you have abundant resources. Could you share your experience?"

Gu Chen's face darkened and he quickly scolded loudly.

"Mu Yang! You've crossed the line! This is a confidential matter of their base. We just need to manage our own side properly and never pry into their secrets!"

Hearing this, Mu Yang seemed to be strangled by someone and closed his mouth instantly, but he was still murmuring softly.

"I'm just a little curious. Aren't you curious too?"

At this moment, An Ran, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help laughing out loud. These men were really honest.

Shangguan Qing hurriedly explained.

"Actually, this isn't really a secret. If we successfully secure the land, the distance between our two bases will become even closer. We'll be able to look after and support each other in the future, making the exchange of supplies and other forms of communication and cooperation much more convenient. Furthermore, we're very happy to share our experience with you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly raised his head, his face full of surprise.

He really didn't expect that Shangguan Qing would be so open-minded and generous. Not only did he not mind them touching on the secrets of the other party's base, he even took the initiative to express his willingness to share valuable experience.

You know, over the years, each base has been complacent and in a state of gradual decline, and has long lost its former glory.

At the beginning, everyone could still barely get by relying on the supplies that had been accumulated previously, but as time went on, supplies became increasingly scarce. Even if everyone tightened their belts, it was extremely difficult to survive.

Only Dream City has been continuously expanding its sphere of influence over the past six months and seems to be completely unaffected by resource shortages. Who wouldn't be curious about this?

Mu Yang was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

"City Lord Shangguan, if that's the case, why don't you have a quick meal here and we can talk while you're at it."

Shangguan Qing nodded slightly, and Mu Yang went down to give orders.

Soon, lunch was ready.

Rice porridge, some green vegetables, and a plate of pickles. Pickles are very precious in the end times, mainly because many salt fields are polluted. Without salt, many people's physical condition cannot keep up, so pickles are especially valuable to other bases.

But for Shangguan Qing, it seems useless, because there are salt mines in Fantasy City, and there is no pollution after irrigation with Shangguan Qing Creek water, so there is no shortage of salt in Fantasy City.

Everyone at the Dawn Base was very excited, and seemed to have shown their utmost sincerity. They smiled brightly as they looked at Shangguan Qing and the others.

There was a burly man named Zhao Jia at the Dawn Base, who looked at them and said.

"Everyone, please feel free to use more. Rice is a precious commodity these days."

An Ran's mouth twitched as she watched. Rice was not a rare commodity in their base, and every household could eat it. Moreover, looking at these dishes, the three of them had no appetite at all.

After all, they have meat and fresh vegetables for every meal. In today's era of scarce resources, such food conditions are something that everyone envies.

Shangguan Qing and his companions didn't seem to be very interested in the food at the Dawn Base. They just moved their chopsticks slightly.

Cheng Xiaoshi, on the other hand, forced himself to cheer up and, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, forced himself to eat a small bowl of porridge.

Mu Yang was a down-to-earth person. He thought Shangguan Qing and the others were being polite, so he greeted everyone warmly.

"Please don't be polite to us, use more."

However, at this moment, Cheng Xiaoshi suddenly spoke, and his speech speed was quite fast.

"Even the weakest people in our base eat much better than you do here!"

This sentence was like a bomb, instantly making the atmosphere on the scene extremely awkward.

Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly stood up and apologized.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, everyone. This is the best we can offer right now. Please bear with me."

Hearing this, An Ran quickly scolded Cheng Xiaoshi.

"Xiao Shi, hurry up and apologize to everyone!"

Cheng Xiaoshi, however, looked aggrieved, pouting and muttering.

"Captain, what I said is clearly the truth. Why do you want me to apologize? We have to make them understand the difference between us!"

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly tense, Zhao Jia, who had remained silent, finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore.

"Little brother, don't be so confident. From what I know, Dream City was once just a bunch of women. Even if it develops further, what's the point? Can they eat better than us?"

Now An Ran was unwilling to do so, and said that it had nothing to do with women or men, and she was not as good as them anyway.

"No, what are you talking about? What's wrong with women? Aren't we getting stronger and stronger, surpassing you, and we are still expanding. Don't look down on women."

Hearing An Ran say this, Cheng Xiaoshi became even more impolite.

"Sister City Lord, if it were you, instead of giving them a hundred miles, we should expand directly to the gate of their base and let them see for themselves how powerful we are."

Shangguan Qing suddenly felt overwhelmed. These two ancestors had forgotten what they were doing. He quickly scolded them, "Shut up!"

At this time, Gu Chen had already realized the problem and spoke hurriedly.

"No, that's not necessary. We are complacent and I believe we are lagging behind. I hope City Lord Shangguan will give us some advice!"

Mu Yang also recovered from his shock and spoke hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, we were originally going to ask the city lord for advice. If we can do better, we will naturally learn with an open mind."

At this time, Cheng Xiaoshi looked at Zhao Jia with an arrogant and smug look on his face.

Gu Chen frowned and said with some reprimand.

"Zhao Jia, apologize to City Lord Shangguan and the others!"
