Chapter 731: Earning 500 Billion in a Month
Chapter 731: Earning 500 Billion in a Month
Su Yu then gave a pep talk to his two subordinates and promised them numerous material rewards.
To the Winged Divine Dragon, Su Yu promised that after the final battle, he would prioritize her safety and protection and give her another chance to refine her spirit energy to become a high-tier powerhouse.
To Vena Blackgold, Su Yu promised a higher title and a large amount of spirit coins, as those were the things he loved most.
After receiving Su Yu's verbal promises, both subordinates were thrilled and brimming with enthusiasm.
The Winged Divine Dragon looked at Su Yu, her eyes sparkling. "Sir Ke, you called us here to do something, right? It can't just be to reward us, can it?"
"Can't I?" Su Yu shrugged with a smile. "You two are my right-hand aides. Isn't it reasonable for me to take some time to reward you?"
Vena Blackgold, being perceptive, knew that the Winged Divine Dragon had a crush on Lord Ke. So, he joked, "Lord, you really treat us subordinates well. Why don't you marry Lady Winged Divine? That way, any child you have together can better manage such a vast territory."
The Winged Divine Dragon's face turned beet red. She had just been teased by an NPC!
Yes, she did have a crush on Sir Ke, but which girl on Blue Star didn't? Besides, she was best friends with Little Tian. How could she possibly compete with her best friend for a man? She wasn't like Ellie.
Just as the Winged Divine Dragon was about to change the subject, Su Yu laughed and said, "I called you here for a specific reason, and that reason is—making a huge profit!"
"Making a huge profit?" The Winged Divine Dragon and Vena Blackgold both looked puzzled.
With the game's time flow slowed down by 12 times, at least 30% of the players were engaged in business activities, such as trade and long-distance trade.
Almost all exploitable commercial resources in the main plane and the new world had been developed by the players. Could Lord Ke have discovered a new blue ocean market?
The Winged Divine Dragon asked, "Sir Ke, how much do you plan to earn?"
"Not too much, and I don't have grand ambitions. I plan to earn 500 billion spirit coins within a month," Su Yu smiled.
"500... billion?!" The Winged Divine Dragon and Vena Blackgold were shocked, their hearts almost leaping out of their chests. Vena Blackgold even stumbled and nearly fell to the floor.
"500 billion isn't 'not too much'? That's almost too much, isn't it?!" Vena Blackgold, his left hand over his heart and his right hand on the sofa armrest, said shakily, "Lord, did you make a mistake? Are you sure you meant '500 billion' and not '500 million'?"
The Winged Divine Dragon took a deep breath, her face serious. "Sir Ke, you really plan to earn 500 billion in a month? You should know that our city, Aupsi, only made 50 billion in three to four years combined!"
After saying that, the Winged Divine Dragon couldn't help but shake her head, wanting to slap herself.
What was she saying?!
Using the word "only" to describe a number as large as "50 billion"?
"I'm sorry, I didn't make a mistake," Su Yu calmly shook his head and smiled. "Not only is the number '500 billion' correct, but my goal is to earn it within a month of in-game time."
Hearing Su Yu's words, the Winged Divine Dragon, trying to maintain her composure, stood still but swayed, appearing slightly dizzy.
Vena Blackgold's mouth hung open, his eyes wide with shock, completely at a loss for words.
Lord Su Yu isn't the type to make empty promises! What's going on today?
Only when his saliva was about to drip from the corner of his mouth did Vena Blackgold finally suck it back in, his face contorting into a grimace even worse than a frown. "My lord, to be honest, I have no idea how you plan to earn 50 billion in a month. Unless you conquer all the nations in the main plane and start taxing them within three days, 50 billion is definitely not achievable in a month."
"Alright, I'll tell you how to earn that 50 billion!" Time was of the essence, so Su Yu skipped the banter and got straight to the point. "You all know about the Star Traveler Bad, right?"
"Use... I mean, of course we do." Vena Blackgold almost blurted out "useless" but caught himself just in time.
"Sixteen years ago, he discovered the Shining New World, correct?"
"Of course." Wyrm Dragon replied, a black line appearing on his forehead.
The game world revolved around the Shining New World for two whole years. How could they not know?
"Have you ever thought," Su Yu said mysteriously, "that Bad might have discovered other secondary planes besides the new world?"
"Your meaning is!!!" Wyrm Dragon and Vena Blackgold's eyes lit up simultaneously with understanding after Su Yu's hint.
"Exactly." Su Yu smiled, explaining further, "Besides the new world, Bad discovered six more planes, one of which is even half the size of the main plane! We can be the first to enter these secondary planes and make our fortune. The profits we can gain from this, I'm sure you can imagine just how much it would be."
Wyrm Dragon's face was a picture of astonishment, unable to believe the game could have such an incredible twist.
For a plane that was only a third the size of the main plane, the game world was in turmoil for two years.
Now, you're telling me there are six new planes, and some are even larger than the Shining New World! The game world will never be the same again.
Vena Blackgold's eyes were practically glowing.
What does discovering a new world mean for a merchant?
It means endless profits!
And they could be the first to enter these secondary planes...
Wait, hold on.
Vena Blackgold looked at Su Yu, asking, "My lord, how did we secure the right to enter these new secondary planes first? Such a lucrative opportunity, shouldn't Master Bad have reserved it for his own nation?"
"You don't need to worry about that." Su Yu didn't bother explaining further. "You just need to know we have the right to enter first, and I've already found a way to access the secondary planes."
"Yes, my lord, I'll inform the guild right away!" Vena Blackgold said loudly, his legs tight together, his eyes nearly turning into the shape of Psychic Coins, drooling saliva. "Priority to enter the new planes... hehe... 50 billion Psychic Coins... hehe..."
Su Yu quickly grabbed the earth goblin, who was nearly lost in ecstasy.
After using a water spell to splash his face and calm him down, Su Yu said, "Don't inform the guild just yet. I'll give you a list of items to buy and deliver to the territory within three days."
"Yes, my lord, I'll do it right away." Vena Blackgold, drenched in water, replied reluctantly.
