Chapter 818: The Tactic of Playing to Lose!
Chapter 818: The Tactic of Playing to Lose!
When Tian Tian and the others returned to Tian Shou Pavilion, more than a month had passed since their departure.
The time was mostly spent on the journey.
After all, traveling by sea is genuinely slow, and even with everything going smoothly, it's still time-consuming.
Now, winter had set in, and the year had turned to 63 in Mokurai.
In other words, this year was when the grand curtain would rise.
"Finally back!"
Tian Tian stood on the sea surface, gazing at the massive city ahead, feeling a sense of relief.
She hadn't realized it while at Tian Shou Pavilion, but after being away for a while, she discovered how much she had missed it, and even her memories of Mokurai had become somewhat hazy.
There was no other way; compared to Mokurai, Tian Shou Pavilion was still the place she preferred.
"Is this the largest and strongest place in the Shinobi World?"
Yohi sighed in the seawater.
The team had come directly, and they had no intention of taking an airship or a merchant caravan carriage, which was why they were standing on the water surface.
Of course, they had 'forced' their way through several blockades along the way.
However, the opposing forces seemed to have vision issues, as they couldn't see them at all.
Well, this was also part of the understanding between Sunblaze Kingdom and Thousand Joy Ship.
They directly handed over the money to them for distribution, and some routes were ignored. If they took other routes, they would have to pay again.
Anyway, whoever came would only think that Tian Shou Pavilion was genuinely sealed off, and those who found problems would meet with accidental deaths.
For example, the Mist Shinobi providing low-priced grain to the Allied Forces—wasn't there a problem with that?
The Land of Water had a gloomy and cloudy climate, which was not suitable for growing rice or wheat, yet the imported goods were all of these things, and the source was self-evident.
But no one spoke about this 'open secret.'
After all, the significant profits were taken by the Great Lord and the nobles, and even the Sunblaze Kingdom only earned a 'cost price.'
If it were the Great Lord and the nobles, they certainly wouldn't play like this.
But Tang Ping had other ideas.
He didn't care about profits, or rather, the profits he valued weren't these things.
Being able to use these resources to promote Yang Yuan was enough to make him disregard costs, not to mention that he could also break even.
With a market, he could further maintain the Sunblaze Kingdom's continuously rising production capacity.
As the scale expanded, costs would also decrease, and they would then gain substantial profits.
The key was also to be able to defeat the Allied Forces in the grain industry, causing countless people to go bankrupt and become refugees, harvested by the Land of Water.
In the end, they would be able to grasp the power of speech in the grain industry, which was even more priceless.
With so many benefits, not only was it not a loss, but even if Tang Ping had to pay, he would still be willing to sell.
By this time, the port had already expanded more than ten times over, with countless ships docked in various categories.
There were merchant ships, warships, fishing boats, and more.
Moreover, there were also over ten newly built sky towers standing in the shallow sea area, with airships docked on top of them, creating an extremely spectacular sight.
"What's that?"
Yohi pointed at the tallest and largest stone tower and asked because there were no airships around that tower.
"Sunblaze Tower, a place for cultivation!"
Ya answered, his eyes filled with fervor.
This time, they had gained a large number of contribution points, which was enough to enter the tower and cultivate like crazy.
After witnessing Tian Tian, Sasuke, and Naruto's strength, he also developed a strong pursuit of power.
Shino and Neji also shared the same thoughts.
Pursuing strength—this was the normal mindset of a ninja; those with love-struck brains and the pursuit of bonds were the ones with issues.
In a combat profession, if you're constantly thinking about this and that, it's not strange to end up in a bad situation. Do you think you're the Prince of Fire?
Anyway, after leaving Mokurai, a place filled with the 'Will of Fire,' everyone, including Tian Tian, Neji, Hinata, and others, had become normal people.
Striving to cultivate and become stronger had become their core focus.
As such, their natural talents were fully unleashed, and with the Sunblaze Kingdom's resources far surpassing Mokurai's investment, their strength soared.
Soon, Tian Tian and the others boarded the ship, first heading to the mission hall to complete their mission report, and then taking Yohito and Yohito to the Sunblaze Building.
Reporting the test mission and introducing the Fish People required Tang Ping's approval.
Of course, the latter didn't require Tang Ping's personal involvement.
With his intervention, a lot of procedures and formalities could be bypassed, which was why Tian Tian had specifically brought along two Fish People.
After all, she had grown closer to Yohi during their journey, and she felt she had played a part in it.
Moreover, Tang Ping had previously discussed the idea of recruiting the Fish People, which was why Tian Tian took the initiative.
Along the way, Yohi and Yohito were left dumbfounded.
You have to understand that before this, the largest place they had ever seen was the capital of the Sea Country, with a population of a few tens of thousands at most.
Now, they were witnessing the most prosperous city in the Shinobi World, and it was impossible not to be astonished.
They even proceeded with utmost caution.
Even with their appearance, they didn't startle anyone.
It wasn't that the passersby were blind, but because this was the Shinobi World, where even Spirit Beasts could speak and were more intelligent than humans.
A half-fish, half-human existence like the Fish People might arouse curiosity, but it wasn't something people couldn't accept.
Upon entering the core area, the patrol density around them instantly increased.
Not only were barriers everywhere, but there were also patrol teams with ninjas.
Soon, Tian Tian and the others arrived at the Radiant Sun Building.
A figure just happened to be walking out.
"Tian Tian, Ning Ci, Ya, Shinon!"
Hyuuga Tsukiyuki, her face flushed, hurried out of the building as if she would be pursued by something terrifying if she slowed down. She greeted them as she saw them.
"Red Teacher!" 4
The group responded.
They had been close when they were in Leaf Village, and now that they were in Skyguard, their relationship was even better.
Within the group, there were many factions, some based on relationships and others on regions. They were part of the Leaf Faction, and they often gathered and helped each other.
"You guys, go inside quickly!"
After saying this, Red quickly left.
"Why does Red Teacher seem a bit off today?"
Ya felt puzzled.
Usually, their Red Teacher was gentle and calm, not someone who would rush like this.
"Shut up, let's go!"
Tian Tian glared at Ya, her face turning red, and then entered the Radiant Sun Building.
Ya, for no apparent reason, received a glare, but he didn't understand what he had done wrong and could only follow the group helplessly.
Due to someone's influence, Tian Tian, who was originally an insignificant member of the team, had unknowingly gained more authority and status.
Otherwise, wouldn't Ning Ci have some pride?
Walking at the front of the group, Tian Tian's flushed face now held suspicion.
After all, this wasn't the first time she had experienced such a situation.
She silently cursed Tang Ping in her heart but wasn't genuinely angry.
At the very least, compared to those unworthy Great Lords and Nobles, or even some Merchants and Clans, Tang Ping was already incredibly restrained.
Even the second generation of a certain powerful ninja clan had over a dozen wives and even more children (Rope Tree: It's me!).
These kinds of news weren't exactly secrets.
That's right!
This was Tang Ping's strategy.
If he wanted to establish a harem, he couldn't maintain a 'deeply affectionate' image; he had to 'compete in depravity.'
Among ninjas, he would undoubtedly be an oddity.
But in the Shinobi World, he would be seen as 'purely innocent.'
After all, he didn't have dozens or hundreds of wives or children, right?
As for these rumors, the reason they persisted in Skyguard and remained enduring was unknown.
In any case, someone was forced to donate a large sum to the orphanage, which made Yane Yuki, the director, extremely satisfied.
The 'Compete in Depravity' plan!
Was carried out by Yane Yuki, who spread information from various sources, making people feel that Tang Ping's harem plan wasn't a big deal.
The effect was astonishing!
At the very least, now Uchiha Yayoi, Hyuga Tsukiyuki, and Haruno Rin, among others, didn't inherently reject the idea.
That's right, the person in question was Tang Ping.
Tian Tian was also influenced, which was why she didn't get angry.
Soon, after a month had passed, Tian Tian once again saw the figure standing at the window, his back turned towards her.
