After revealing Su Youzong’s age, Gong Liang explained the details of Heaven Territory’s internal affairs with an enthusiastic expression.

“Our territory isn’t massive but it’s definitely not that small. It’s many times larger and more spacious than Green Fruit Territory.

“Under the territory’s jurisdiction are three cities, seven counties, and sixteen towns. As for villages, we have a lot of them. I think the last count added up to more than thirty.

“Among all of these, Hope City is the largest. It was the earliest village established in the territory and gradually upgraded into a city. Although most of the buildings and facilities seem a little old-fashioned and out of tune compared to the newly established cities, it is the center of the territory’s economic capacity and population concentration!

“Ranked behind it is Heaven’s Origin City, which is mainly responsible for the military industry and foreign wars. There are three ace troops of the territory stationed there, with a total of more than 20,000 people.

!!

“The smallest scale would be Murloc City. Speaking of which, you must’ve already heard a lot about it. It’s the most prominent city of a foreign race living within a human territory in the wasteland. More than 100,000 murlocs are residing within the city.

“In terms of county towns, there are…”

Gong Liang took out a simple territory map. He gave detailed accounts of the local customs, social structures, and responsibilities each time he pointed to a location on the map.

According to the job divisions, most of the counties, villages, and towns to the east of Hope City were mainly responsible for the people’s livelihoods. They had many factories and vast farmlands, which were the entire territory’s economic lifeline.

Meanwhile, the counties, villages, and towns to the west of Heaven’s Origin’s City mainly focused on combat power with large numbers of soldiers stationed there. Additionally, countless military factories and scientific research facilities were established within them.

While explaining, Gong Lian’s occasionally swept across Su Mo’s face, trying to determine the exact location of Su Mo’s trip.

Unfortunately, Su Mo’s behavior seemed completely inconsistent with the information he had collected about him in the past.

Su Mo maintained a smiling face from beginning to end and never once showed curiosity or interest in one particular area.

Evidently, he was a very mysterious person.

After talking for a while, Gong Liang felt a little thirsty. He took out a cup from the satchel at his waist and took a few consecutive sips of tea. Then, he slowly put down the cup and said, “This is the general information of all areas of the territory. Where is your destination? I could tell you in detail if I know more about where you’re going.

“The Foreign Commerce Department covers a wide range. Thus, I could tell you about the general situation of almost any nearby territory.” Gong Liang felt that his previous words sounded too direct and added another sentence.

Unexpectedly, Su Mo did not intend to keep it a secret and directly stated his destination.

“Hope City? You bought an identity in Hope City?”

His exclamations resonated throughout the carriage. The middle-aged woman and the single passenger turned around in shock with undisguised surprise.

For outsiders, Hope City was just the territory’s center.

However, to those in the territory, it evidently had a much different meaning to them.

To a certain extent, those who knew the inside story regarded the city as more important than all the other places within the territory put together.

Moreover…it was irreplaceable.

“As expected, you are more than meets the eye. Even in a small town like Prickly Pear Town, you could accumulate enough points to buy an identity in Hope City.

“I’m sorry for misjudging you.”

Gong Lian kept apologizing, making Huang Xiaojuan a little confused.

However, Su Mo understood very well the meaning behind his words.

Unlike Sha Yikang, the mayor, and the others, the original body’s owner maintained a conscience in most of his actions and never targeted the interests of ordinary people.

Even when he borrowed points to collect enough for an identity, he had never considered not paying them back.

Still, it was inevitable that he would harm the interests of those below him when trying to make money. Thus, his reputation became increasingly worse.

That was where the nickname Corrupt Su came from.

Before learning that Su Mo’s destination was Hope City, Gong Liang still had a little contempt in his heart, feeling that the person in front of him had robbed the money of ordinary people and had an evil character.

Now, the reason for his apology was also very simple.

It was easy to embezzle 300 points, 500 points, or even 1,000 points from a small town like Prickly Pear Town.

However, embezzling at least 6,000 points, or even more, was not easy. Even Green Fruit Territory’s lord would be reluctant to take out that many points at once.

To accumulate that many points were not something that “Corrupt Su” could achieve by simply embezzling points from ordinary residents. Therefore, Gong Liang concluded that Su Mo was not as unbearable as the rumors made him out to be!

“Haha, Mr. Gong, you’re exaggerating. I don’t care about the rumors about me at all.

“Besides, after I go to Heaven’s Origin, who would care about who I was before?”

Su Mo waved his hand calmly and picked up a grape to eat.

In fact, Su Mo himself did not expect such a bountiful harvest before going to the mayor.

After he had dealt with Sha Yikang and the others, he only had a little more than 1600 points.

After he dealt with the mayor, his exchange points surged rapidly and he achieved…12,000 points!
