The war had just ended, and a large part of the defenders of Destiny City had to be responsible for maintaining post-war order. There were not many troops that could be sent to collect crystals.
The corpses of mutated beasts are scattered everywhere. For the citizens of Destiny City, this is simply wealth at their fingertips!
As long as you can get one, at least you won't have to be hungry for a while.
This has led to many people taking desperate risks and taking advantage of the weak strength of Destiny City to steal crystals.
Although Shi Hao led his men to completely control the battlefield in the later period, the lost crystals could no longer be recovered.
In addition, Shi Hao had just taken office and his status in the hearts of the soldiers was far lower than that of Shi Liao. Many people obeyed his orders and violated them because there were many cases of self-stealing.
Yi Xiao had considered these issues before, but the final loss of crystals exceeded his expectations.
As for whether Shi Hao deliberately lied about the number of crystal stones, Yi Xiao had naturally suspected this.
However, after weighing it up, considering Shi Hao's character and the current situation, this probability is very small.
In addition, Shi Hao didn't look like he was lying now. Yi Xiao had roughly known the number of mutated beasts that died in this battle, and it was almost the same as what Shi Hao said, so he gave up this speculation.
"What a pity." Yi Xiao sighed secretly.
If his physical strength had not been exhausted in the end, and if this war had taken place in Beidou City, so many of these crystals would not have been lost in vain.
After killing four thousand mutant beasts, the final harvest of crystal stones was only two thousand, barely half of them.
Even if these are ordinary mutant beasts, the average value of their crystals is between twenty and thirty. Two thousand crystals means that tens of thousands of strengthening points have been lost this time!
Although tens of thousands of strengthening points are no longer a huge number for Yi Xiao, it is still hard to avoid losing so much in vain.
"Are you going to take all these crystals?" Shi Hao obviously didn't have much confidence when he said this. When he was collecting the crystals, he knew that Yi Xiao would come to get these crystals.
The only question is how much will the other party take?
Tens of thousands of crystal stones is not a small amount. If it can get the support of this crystal stone, Destiny City will undoubtedly be able to get out of the impact of the war faster.
Shi Hao himself had just come to power. Although he was the new city lord appointed by Yi Xiao, in fact his voice in the city was far less than that of Shi Liao.
And with this crystal stone, he is confident that he will take Destiny City into his hands faster!
But if Yi Xiao wants to take away most of the crystals this time, or even take away all of them, then these ideas will become empty talk!
So the question is, if Yi Xiao really did this, what qualifications did he have to say no?
Hearing Shi Hao's question, Yi Xiao couldn't help but chuckle. "Why, do I look like an unreasonable person?"
"You also contributed a lot to this war, and the losses were not small. You also completed the work of collecting crystal stones. These crystal stones should be divided among you, but..."
The first half of Yi Xiao's words had just made Shi Hao relax a little, but when he heard this, his heart became anxious again.
"You only collected half of the four thousand crystals. In other words, because of your improper management, our final income was so much less. Part of this loss must also be counted on you."
Hearing what Yi Xiao said, Huang Qi stepped forward and said: "Yixiao, this is wrong. We all know the situation at that time. When we fought with the mutant army, the battle line was very long, and the bodies were scattered in a large area. Within the scope, coupled with the limited troops at the time, it was impossible to use all of them to collect crystal stones."
"I think that although the crystal stones were lost a lot this time, Shi Hao has done a good job. Even if someone else comes in, it won't be much better than the current situation."
Yi Xiao was still a little surprised by Huang Qi's opening.
Huang Qi had been indifferent to the management of Destiny City before, but now he actually spoke up for the benefit of Destiny City.
Something definitely happened between Shi Hao and Huang Qi that no one knew about, which made the founder of Destiny City return to the world.
"Huang Lao, do you know why, as the lord of a city, I can stay in Tianming City for so long and ignore my own city?" Yi Xiao asked.
Huang Qi shook his head slightly, unable to realize for a moment that there was any necessary connection between the problem Yi Xiao mentioned and the theft of the crystal.
"The reason is very simple. I have a deputy city lord who manages it on my behalf. Beidou City sends out hundreds of teams to hunt every day, and there has never been a single crystal stone stolen. Now, do you still think that this matter is not Shi's? Is it a problem of Hao’s own improper management?”
"This..." Huang Qi was speechless.
Battlefield collection and squad hunting are completely different concepts. In contrast, squad hunting is more prone to theft.
If what Yi Xiao said is true, the deputy city lord is really a rare genius in management. Compared with him, this time it was indeed Shi Hao's mismanagement.
"Mr. Huang, Yi Xiao is right. The facts are the facts. It was indeed because of me that the crystal was stolen." Shi Hao said.
"It's good that you have this awareness. Since the loot is less because of you, we will divide the crystals this time into 20/80."
Before Shi Hao could say anything, Huang Qi said first, "What? Twenty-eight points? That's too little!"
The achievement of 28 points means that out of the two thousand crystal stones, the Destiny City side can only get four hundred!
Although Huang Qi was prepared, he still underestimated Yi Xiao's appetite.
"Less? My original plan was that we would divide all the crystals fifty-fifty, and each of us would get two thousand of the four thousand crystals. But because of your reasons, two thousand crystals were stolen, and all of this will be accounted for by you. I’m giving you four hundred, just because I don’t want you to work in vain.”
After saying that, Yi Xiao looked at Shi Hao, waiting for him to speak.
Needless to say, the importance of crystal stones. If Shi Hao still doesn't refute at this time, it means that his original decision was indeed a bit hasty. Shi Hao is indeed not suitable for the position of the Lord of Destiny City.
Just as Yi Xiao expected, Shi Hao's gaze became firm again and he said: "Yixiao, I think we can talk about this matter again. This batch of crystal stones is really important to Destiny City!"
Seeing Shi Hao like this, Yi Xiao felt a little more approval in his heart.
First, he betrayed his eldest brother, and then witnessed his eldest brother being killed. In addition, he had just taken over the city, and all kinds of things came together. This kind of pressure is unimaginable to ordinary people!
This also caused Shi Hao's personality to change drastically, completely losing his original angular appearance.
Part of the reason why Yi Xiao supports Shi Hao is to plant a seed for the future. If Shi Hao really perishes, it will be of no value to Yi Xiao.
But at this moment, Yi Xiao saw a few shadows of him from before, and it was also the Shi Hao that Yi Xiao valued in the first place.
