Moreover, there was one thing that Liu could not accept.

That is, the task of wiping out the secret faction was not accomplished by her!

It is a happy thing that great revenge has been achieved.

But Liu couldn’t be happy.

Because she hardly contributed anything to the matter and couldn’t offer any help.

This was unacceptable to Liu.

She felt that if she didn’t contribute, then all her revenge efforts over the past few years would have been in vain.

This denial of self-worth made Liu very uncomfortable.

Therefore, she found Su Mo, hoping to participate in the eradication operation.

Regardless of whether I can help at that time, at least I have participated.

In this way, she can give an explanation to herself and her companions who were previously killed by the dark faction.

Otherwise, she would not be able to forgive herself.

“Please! This is really important to me. Please let me participate in this operation.”

Fearing that Su Mo would refuse, Liu knelt down in front of Su Mo and begged.

Su Mo was startled by Liu’s sudden movement and looked at Liu on the ground in shock.

Even though he understood the original work and knew Liu’s past, Su Mo never expected that Liu’s obsession with this would be so deep.

“Su Mo.”

Livilia was also shocked, but seeing Liu Na’s resolute expression, Livilia couldn’t help but be moved. She looked at Su Mo, ready to help plead for mercy.

But before she could say anything, Su Mo reacted and raised his hand to stop her.

“Okay, I know what you want to say, and I’m not going to refuse.”

“So you agree?”

Hearing this, Liu looked up with surprise.

Su Mo smiled and nodded: “Of course, I have no reason to reject you, right?”

For someone like Liu, who is innocent, has a firm stance and motivation, and is quite capable, and who is willing to join this eradication operation, he has no reason to refuse.

Even from the very beginning, when Su Mo saw Liu being rescued by Najeshita and others, he had already included Liu in the list of personnel for the operation.

Even if Liu didn’t actively apply to join, Su Mo would still pull her in.

“very good, thank you.”

When Liu saw that Su Mo really agreed, he was overjoyed and hurried to thank Su Mo.

“You’re welcome. I should be the one thanking you for coming to help.”

“Yeah, Liu, you don’t have to do this.”

Livilia came over with a smile and helped Ryu up.

“Anyway, thank you, this is really important to me.” Liu insisted.

Su Mo and Livilia were a little helpless about this.

However, both of them knew what the annihilation of the secret faction meant to Liu, so they did not try to correct him.

“.‖ Okay, let’s not talk about this for now, let’s talk about your business.”

Su Mo skipped this topic and asked, “What are your plans for the future?”

“This one……”

When Liu heard this, he instantly broke away from his joyful mood and said with a confused look on his face: “I don’t know.”

“I have nothing left now except revenge.”

All the companions have died, and the main god Astraea has also left Orario. The former Astraea clan no longer exists.

In addition, she was also blacklisted by the guild and had a bounty on her head. Unless she continued to work for the Mistress of Abundance, she would not be able to stay in Orario.

If the goal of destroying the dark faction is achieved, then there will be nothing in this world that she will miss.

“Probably he will go back to live in seclusion among the elves.”

Apart from returning to his hometown, Liu couldn’t think of anywhere else to go for the time being.

“So, do you want to come over and try it out with us?”

Seeing this, Su Mo extended an invitation to Liu.

“We have many other elves besides Livilia here, and they can take care of you.”

Livilia looked at Su Mo in surprise. She didn’t expect that Su Mo would actually invite Liu to join the Dimension City.

But she didn’t think much about it. Since Su Mo wanted to invite Liu to join, he must have his reasons.

Livilia did not ask, but cooperated and said to Liu:

“Yes, we have quite a few female elves here (dozens), so if you come over, you don’t have to worry about not getting used to it.”

“Besides, our place is almost isolated from the world. You don’t have to worry about outsiders finding you there. It’s very suitable for seclusion.”

“This……”

Liu was a little confused for a moment. She didn’t expect Su Mo to suddenly invite her.

But after hearing what Livilia said, Liu couldn’t help but feel a little moved.

…To be continued….

Chapter 297: Opening to the outside world? Increase revenue and cut expenditure!

Liu thought about it and decided that if he went back to his hometown, he would just be living a lazy life.

You might even be asked all kinds of questions by the neighbors and interrogated by all kinds of relatives and friends in the name of gossip, and you won’t be able to live in peace even if you live in seclusion.

But if I go to Su Mo’s place, both parties know each other well and won’t ask too many questions. Plus, with the care of Livilia and others, it may not be much more inconvenient than going back home.

When he thought of this, Liu was moved.

but……

“Let me think about it. Let me finish my business first.”

Now is not the time to make a decision. The prerequisite for her retirement is to completely eliminate the dark faction.

No action has been taken yet and the results are not out yet, so it is too early to make a decision.

Moreover, she knew too little about Su Mo and others.

Although Liu didn’t think that Livilia would cheat her, out of her habit of being cautious, she decided to wait and see.

Su Mo nodded to show his understanding.

“Then let’s talk about it after the operation is over. We welcome you to join us at any time.”

There’s no rush anyway, it’s just a matter of a few days, so it doesn’t matter if we wait.

“Thank you.”

Liu thanked him and then stood up to leave.

However, Liu did not leave the Dusk Pavilion. Instead, he asked for a guest room from Loki’s family and planned to stay there for one night in order to participate in the next extermination operation.

……

After Liu left, Livilia looked at Su Mo in confusion and asked:

“Why did you suddenly think of inviting her to join the Dimension City?”

Su Mo shrugged: “It’s nothing, actually. I just felt sorry for her and wanted to keep her company.”

He invited Liu to join the Dimensional City without any purpose.

It just so happened that I thought that after the secret faction was wiped out, Liu would lose his goal and have nowhere to go.

So I thought that it would be a good opportunity to let Liu join the Dimensional City and keep Livilia company.

Although there are many elf girls in the Dimension City, except for Livilia, the others are all from the main world of farmers and are not from the same clan as Livilia.

Therefore, Su Mo felt that although Livilia didn’t say anything, she must still feel lonely, so he took this opportunity to recruit Liu to supplement the number of the earth elves.

“You really are…”

When Livilia heard this, she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Moved?

Naturally I was moved.

But words always seem pale, so Livilia expressed her gratitude to Su Mo with actual actions and leaned over and kissed him.

Su Mo was also happy to enjoy this benefit, and took the opportunity to have a good intimate time with Livilia.

“That’s enough. I don’t want to mess around with you in the study.”

Seeing that Su Mo was about to take advantage of the situation, Livilia quickly stepped back.

Su Mo did not force him and continued, “In addition to Liu, you can also pay attention this time to see if there are any people who can be won over.”

“Even if we can’t let them join the Dimension City directly, we can still open up their entry and exit rights and let them become the floating population of the Dimension City.”

When Livilia heard this, her expression became serious.

“Has it come to this? Are you sure you want to do this?”

Relaxing entry and exit permissions and accepting migrant population is a necessary step for every city’s development.

Otherwise, if we only rely on immigration, not only will the population growth be slow, but each batch of immigrants will require a lot of effort to settle, which will also slow down the pace of development.

For example, the current operating method of the Dimension City is to first introduce immigrants and then build the infrastructure to accommodate these immigrants, that is, build houses.

This seems to be a stable development, but a closer analysis will reveal it.

All the manpower was used to build infrastructure, but other areas such as agriculture, industry, and commerce did not develop at all.

Such a development model is undoubtedly inefficient and distorted.

Take income and expenditure for example. Under this model, the finances of the Dimension City only have expenditures.

The Dimension City provided land, building materials, and wages to allow the Lizardmen to carry out the resettlement project.

Although part of the cost can be recovered through food expenses, clothing and daily necessities, these things also belong to the Dimension City.

The so-called recovery cost is just transferring from left hand to right hand.

From a general perspective, it is the Dimension City that is constantly spending.

What such expenditure can bring in return is only the money that the Lizardmen can use in future installments to buy or rent houses. It is not certain whether they can make a profit, and the cycle is still very long.

This is equivalent to the Dimension City using fiscal expenditure to buy a kind of labor futures, and it may even lose money.

And because agriculture, industry and commerce cannot develop under this model, the Dimension City will have to continue to increase its investment in absorbing this labor force in the future.

Despite having an infinite magic furnace and a system of material generation, the expenditure costs of the Dimension City have actually been reduced to almost nothing.

But no matter what, the inefficiency of this model remains a problem.

After all, generating materials out of thin air is, in a way, the same as printing more money.

Now they are just the Lizardmen, and there are not many of them, so there is no obvious problem.

But if we accept another 10,000 Misaka sisters, this unbalanced income and expenditure model will sooner or later cause problems.

Therefore, Su Mo had to find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

The solution that was then come up with was to open up entry and exit permissions to attract migrant population.

The arrival of these migrant workers in the Dimension City is equivalent to expanding the consumer market. After all, there are so many things in the Dimension City that are not available in their original world. Don’t they want to buy them?

They will definitely buy it, which will drive consumption and promote business development.

And to buy things, you have to have currency, right?

The Dimension City only accepts supplies and does not allow money to be exchanged, so the migrant population can only exchange supplies for money.

Isn’t this equivalent to generating revenue through open source?
