Li De didn't let Nogfogg get so angry, but interrupted him with a smile.

"I'm here this time, and the deal I hope to reach is related to the land on the beach.

I would like to hear your plan first. If your project is good, I will work with you to develop the beach together. "

Li De's words surprised Nogfogg for a moment. Goblins are a trade race. Words such as "project", "cooperation" and "development" are of course familiar to him, but it is a bit surprising that these words came out of a human mouth.

Noggerfogg is no stranger to humans. Like the guy Rivelgaz, he has many human pirates under his command.

But in Nogfogg's conception, humans are an aggressive, greedy, and stubborn species.

Most of the time in human history is war, and the level of greed is no less than that of goblins, but they do not have a flexible brain.

This is why, after finding out that the beach was occupied by a group of humans, he would appear so pessimistic.

At this moment, I met a human who seemed to be very business-minded, which made Nogfogg a little impressed.

So Nogfogg shared his grand plan with Reed:

About five years ago, Nogfogg discovered a place called the Shimmering Plains east of Thousand Needles and north of Tanaris.

There used to be a huge salt lake. After drying up, the vast lake bed formed a plain. The crystalline salt precipitated on the ground, whether it is day or night, will shine beautifully under the sunlight and moonlight, hence the name Flash Plain. .

Because the surface of the earth is all salt, there are no plants and almost no animals, only deep and shallow ravines extending in all directions on the plain.

When Nogfogg stood on the shining plain and looked at the ravines, a brilliant idea came to his mind!

The terrain here is like a natural track!

If there are only two words to describe the goblins, one is "trade" and the other is "engineering".

Goblin has quite developed engineering skills, and the pearl that best represents goblin engineering is the "goblin motor vehicle"!

No goblin would refuse a motorcycle race. On Kezan Island, including Nogfogg, every goblin is a racing enthusiast.

The runners enjoyed the roar of the engine and the extreme speed on the track. When the audience is outside, in addition to watching the game, there are more exciting "bets" for them!

It includes both the competition of engineering and technology and the gambling of money. It can be said that if you can run a large-scale racing circuit, it will be a huge business in the goblin world!

After discovering the Glitter Plains, after a year of preparation, Nogfogg took out all his savings, quit his high-paying job, and came here to build his racing circuit.

After four years, Norgefogg has successfully built a racing circuit and a living town of Gadgetzan. Now he only needs to build a pier on the beach to connect Tanaris and Kezan. He will would instantly become one of the richest goblins.

He has already planned that once this business is in operation, he will dedicate the pier to the trade king, Resha, and become the trade prince under the king of Resha!

Listening to Nogfogg's excited talk about the plan, Li De couldn't help shaking his head.

'This guy really deserves to be a goblin, he has an idea and he dares to make such a big investment with all his fortune. This adventurous spirit...like a goblin's machine, powerful and accident-prone. ’

This action of Li De made Nogfogg very dissatisfied.

"What do you mean by shaking your head? Could it be that you question my great plan?!"

"No, no, I actually appreciate your plan."

Li De quickly explained that he was not lying, he was really optimistic about this plan, but with Gadgetzan's current state, this business would definitely not work.

He thought about the half-dead Glittering Plains racing circuit in his memory, and asked the goblin city lord in front of him.

"I'm very optimistic about your plan, but I don't know when you plan to open the circuit?"

Nogfogg said almost without hesitation.

"As long as the port on the beach is built, the racetrack will be open for business."

Li De denied it on the spot.

"If that's the case, then your racing track is completely over."

Nogfogg was surprised at first, then became furious.

"Why do you say that?!"

"The reason is very simple, it is Gadgetzan City under your feet. The goblins who can come here by boat to play and watch are not rich or expensive. If you want them to spend a lot of money here, you must have services that match their status. .

But look at Gadgetzan now, what can you do for them? Ask them to eat sand and sand?

If you can't give them good service, let them stick here. As long as you receive two groups of guests, your reputation here will become very bad, and no guests will come back. "

"This…"

Nogfogg was silent, he had to admit that Li De's words made sense.

He was only thinking about the goblins' passion for racing, but he ignored such an important thing. If he really does business hastily, I'm afraid that, as Li De said, the racetrack will end up in a bleak operation, and all his investments over the years will be wasted.

Thinking of this, Nogfogg sweated profusely, and regarded Li De as a life-saving straw.

"Then what do you think I should do?"

Since this guy can find the problem, he must have a way to solve it.

"It's very simple, expand Gadgetzan, improve the infrastructure here, and maintain sufficient material supply at all times.

You can only be in a good mood to participate in the race and gamble if you make sure that every tourist and racer can live here comfortably and happily. "

Li De stated his countermeasures. In his opinion, Nogfogg was completely trying to build a "Las Vegas" belonging to Azeroth. The reason why Las Vegas can be successful is that in addition to absolute safety and freedom, it also provides meticulous service.

It is under the combined effect of many factors that Las Vegas, an absolutely free gambling paradise, has been created.

Nogfogg's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.

"This is unrealistic. The environment in Tanaris is too harsh, and Gadgetzan is very nervous about fresh water. It takes a huge amount of money to transform into what you said, but I have no savings. The transformation in the past few years Glittering Plains and building Gadgetzan have cost me all my money."

Li De nodded, what he said should be true. Gadgetzan in memory is also tense and dusty.

If it wasn't for the fact that the orcs formed a new tribe in Kalimdor and faced off against the two major factions of the Alliance, which invisibly accelerated the communication between the two continents, it would be a problem for Gadgetzan to even be able to operate.

Thinking of this, Li De tentatively mentioned a sentence.

"You haven't considered going back to Kezan Island to make some investments? You should know a lot of goblin rich people, right?"

Nogfogg shook his head without hesitation.

"No drama, those guys are all cannibals, they will use money games and contract traps to turn me into their slaves.

If that's the case, I might as well sell this city cheaply to the hot sand trade king and become his wage earner again. "

Li De snickered in his heart.

'You do have a clear self-awareness. ’

After laughing, Li De pondered for a while.

"If you say, I invite you to cooperate with me, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com to jointly develop this place, what do you think?"

Nogfogg looked at Li De in amazement, and looked at his shabby clothes from top to bottom.

"Are you rich?"

Li De shook his head.

"I have no money, but I have the best craftsmen under my command! I have already planned to build two canals to divert water from Qingquan Plain to Gadgetzan and the port, and then triple the size of Gadgetzan!"

Norgefogg is still not optimistic about Reed.

"It's easy for you to say, do you know how dangerous the Tanaris desert is?

Alien scorpions, monitor lizards, coyotes, strange birds, and trolls who don't know how to get along with people! If repairing the canal was this easy, I would have done it myself! "

Li De didn't say anything about Nogfogg's question, he just shook his head and smiled, and suddenly he let out a low roar!

There was a sincere fear in Nogfogg's heart, and he watched in horror as Li De's body nearly doubled in size.

"As you can see, I am a hero. What Gadgetzan lacks the most is actually a protector with powerful force."

The Nogforge is stupid, a hero! In Azeroth, it is an absolute powerhouse, and many races do not even have a hero!

It was at this moment that he remembered again that this man in front of him, although he looked kind, had the magical power to summon miracles!

'Maybe working with him can really be successful? ’

Although Nogfogg hasn't made a statement yet, Li De has already received a hint from Eureka.

"Ding~, congratulations to the leader for completing the diplomatic mission: Friendly Contact! Rewards 100 productivity points.

(Note: The city-state diplomatic mission chain has three stages, and the leader has friendly contact with the city-state Gadgetzan to complete the first stage.)”
