Chapter 848: I’m Here to Act Coquettish
Advanced Chapter? (I was told to do it this way)
The rebel leader glared at Robb, feeling that this was unjust. He had thought that with his strong forces, he could unite the desert and didnt expect the intervention of the Kingdom of Gran. He felt truly resentful.
Robb tapped his head and smiled, saying, Dont look so aggrieved. Back during the civil war in the Kingdom of Gran, Mondra and the Queen were fighting over control of the kingdom. Your desert kingdom also took advantage of the situation and invaded. Both the eastern and western forces advanced simultaneously, trying to take advantage of the internal strife in the Kingdom of Gran. Now the tables have turned, so whats there to be unsatisfied about? Besides, do you really think I like your sorry excuse for a kingdom? If it werent for the countless homeless refugees and the fact that the Kingdom of Gran doesnt have the capacity to take them all in, I wouldnt bother.
The rebel leader pleaded pitifully, Whats the difference between your use of force to make me obey and what I did?
Robb shrugged, Im simply using your own methods against you.
The rebel leader remained silent, carefully considering the question. He sighed and thought, in the face of a strong fist, one can only bow their head. So, reluctantly, the rebel leader acknowledged Motra as the new pharaoh.
The army entered the Kali Oasis, and even the rebel leaders forces squeezed in.
The small oasis instantly became crowded. Motra, Mandra, and the rebel leader went to hold a meeting to discuss how to continue unifying the kingdom.
However, Robb couldnt be bothered to get involved. He sat on the edge of the Kali Oasis, gazing at the natural oil field ahead.
This place was truly unique. To think there would be such a natural oil field. But upon closer consideration, people in this world didnt even know the benefits of oil. They wouldnt go digging for oil buried deep underground. Only a natural oil field like this would spark some interest for them to study.
Lost in his thoughts, Suofa approached him and leaned on Robbs shoulder. She usually maintained a certain distance from Robb, but today she sat very close, almost leaning against him. It caught Robb off guard. Suofa , youre quite proactive today.
Suofa face quickly turned red for a moment, but luckily her skin was already dark, so her blushing wasnt easily noticeable. She bit her lip and whispered, Because Im here to act coquettish.
Robb:
That statement rendered Robb speechless on the spot. Act coquettish? Are you kidding me?! Youre Suofa!
Suofa felt a little embarrassed and couldnt lift her head for several seconds. After a while, she regained her composure and whispered, I took a stroll around the oasis. I saw the people who were scared and panicked due to the rebellion returning to their homes. The Kali Oasis has temporarily settled down.
Robb: Hmm!
Sofia continued, But as I walked around the oasis, I realized that the people of the Desert Kingdom are still living in poverty, just like many years ago when I lived in this kingdom.
Taking a deep sigh, she said, In Westwind City, under your leadership, I lived a happy and fulfilling life. Every day, I felt that life was improving. The people there had abundant resources, and their spirits were high. Everyone was joyful and happy. But in the Desert Kingdom
She paused and sighed again, The people here still live in poverty. Im an assassin, so it might sound strange for me to say these things, but the Desert Kingdom is still my homeland. I dont want to see it in this state. I also hope that my homeland can thrive and prosper. So I want to act coquettish and ask if you can help out. After the war ends, can you make the people of the Desert Kingdom prosperous too?
Robb let out a sigh, Thats difficult.
Huh? It shouldnt be difficult for you, Suofa said, Just like helping the people of Westwind Town or the Maya people, find some special products, develop miraculous crops, or create incredibly powerful machines
Robb shook his head, None of that will work. This place is nothing but yellow sand. We cant do anything here. I dont have the ability to help the people of the Desert Kingdom become prosperous through those means.
Suofa felt upset, If even you cant do it, then theres no one in this world who can.
Thats not true, Robb said, There is a kind of person who can help the Desert Kingdom become prosperous.
Hmm? Suofa was greatly surprised, What kind of person?
Alchemists! Robb said seriously, pointing to the natural oil field in front of them, As you know, the diesel used in diesel trains and cars is produced by me using this black oil.
Suofa nodded, I know that.
Robb said, The only way for the Desert Kingdom to prosper is through this. However, relying solely on me to convert this into diesel is inefficient, with low utilization and small consumption. It cannot be fully utilized. We need a large number of alchemists to dedicate themselves to researching this, and then this substance will become a multitude of incredibly useful things. For example diesel, gasoline, asphalt, solutions, fertilizers, insecticides, and plastics Once this substance is fully understood, it can surpass common knowledge in various fields. At that time, people all over the world will crave it like madness. And then, the poor Desert Kingdom, through selling petroleum, will become a place overflowing with wealth in the blink of an eye.
Suofa asked, Huh?
Robb continued, So, the only way to prosper is to desperately develop technology and progress. There are no shortcuts.
Suofa replied, I understand. Are you suggesting that I find some alchemists and have them research petroleum?
Exactly! Robb exclaimed. At least let them extract diesel from petroleum first. With that, we can mass-produce diesel cars and diesel trains. Once the production of these two vehicles increases, the demand for petroleum will rise. Consequently, the price of petroleum will naturally increase, and the impoverished people of the Desert Kingdom can become wealthy in a very short period of time by selling petroleum.
As the alchemists deepen their understanding of petroleum, they will naturally explore various other things, such as gasoline and asphalt, Robb explained. Scientific progress happens in this way.
Suofa silently remembered these words. She believed every word Robb said because she had witnessed firsthand how the cities managed by Robb had flourished. As long as she steadfastly worked towards this direction, she believed she could achieve her own goals.
Suddenly, she gathered her courage, leaned over, and planted a kiss on Robbs face. Before Robb could react, Suofa jumped up and ran away as if flying.
