Chapter 90: "That Will Be a Decisive Move!"
Chapter 90: "That Will Be a Decisive Move!"
One must admit, Liu Zide's enthusiasm was infectious.
".
Standing in place, Chen Qiu and Fat Dragon couldn't help but slowly open their mouths, their eyes flashing with awe. They could already imagine the earth-shattering changes that would occur in the entire Great Xia Kingdom if Liu Zide's plan were to succeed.
Damn.
This could be considered a complete transformation of a world.
Someone once said that if you can't change the world, you must adapt to it. But Liu Zide's idea seemed to be that if you can't change the world, then create miracles through sheer force, and change it by hook or by crook!
Chen Qiu pondered Liu Zide's plan.
It had to be said that it seemed feasible, and there was already a successful case to prove it. He searched for the name of the Yuncheng Wang Family Patriarch that Liu Zide mentioned on the "Fame Ranking Chart", and found it at the 936th rank.
"Rank 936: Wang Tiedan, Fame Value 9203."
Even higher than his own rank.
Chen Qiu was only at 982nd place, several dozen ranks higher than him.
It seemed that Wang Tiedan's bravery in killing nearly ten thousand Demon Race Cultivators had brought him less fame than the Jiuniu Festival.
And "Wang Tiedan" was the only name on the entire "Fame Ranking Chart" that belonged to neither a ruthless Malevolent Cultivator nor a renowned young disciple, nor any industry leader or famous courtesan.
One could say that Wang Tiedan was the only one who made it onto the chart through "unconventional" means.
Liu Zide's plan was to mass-produce three hundred Wang Tiedans, essentially flooding the market with inferior products.
".
Chen Qiu stood in silence, his expression complex. After much deliberation, he concluded that the plan was fundamentally feasible, especially since Liu Zide had invested all his talent points in this area. No one else could manage the project as effectively as Liu Zide himself.
Of course, creating three hundred Wang Tiedans was an exaggeration.
But producing seventy or eighty seemed entirely possible.
The most critical issue was that the profits were enormous, but the manner of acquiring them was unseemly, involving vulgar and low-class methods. This could easily attract the disgust and envy of some old monsters with moral jiebi.
In other words,
The risks were as great as the rewards.
But, as Liu Zide had said, if they acted fast enough, before anyone could react, and quickly seized the opportunity, they could fill their bellies and withdraw afterward, satisfied.
"Hmm."
Chen Qiu took a deep breath, his mind made up. He patted Liu Zide's shoulder and said with a determined expression, "Tell me your detailed cooperation plan. I'm quite tempted."
Liu Zide nodded, his face serious as he raised three fingers.
"Three points."
"First, a large amount of Spirit Stones is needed in the initial stage. Everything must be done as quickly as possible. We must use Flying Vessels for transportation, which requires a substantial investment of Spirit Stones. Recruiting a large number of talents also requires a vast amount of Spirit Stones to spread the word. Moreover, we'll need a large workforce and to quickly negotiate with the local gangsters in all the cities."
"This will undoubtedly lead to 'speed' causing all expenses to increase by several times over."
"In other words, it's about using the most Spirit Stones in the shortest time to create a new world."
"The estimated cost is around fifteen thousand Spirit Stones."
".
Chen Qiu remained silent, deep in thought. He currently had eighteen thousand Spirit Stones in his Miniature World, including those in his Storage Bags. This was all his wealth, and Liu Zide's request would take every Spirit Stone he had earned from his opportunities these days.
Although there were still many Storage Rings with unbroken Seals, it was uncertain how many Spirit Stones they contained.
"Are you crazy?"
Fat Dragon looked at Liu Zide with an incredulous expression. "Do you know what fifteen thousand Spirit Stones mean? Even if I gave you that many, would you dare to take it? Would you not feel anxious holding that many in your hands?"
"There's no other way," Liu Zide sighed helplessly. "I know it sounds exaggerated, and I understand the significance of 15,000 spirit stones."
"The Wang Family's annual profit is only a few hundred spirit stones, and a set of large-scale communication bracelets for the sect's disciples cost just a thousand spirit stones."
"15,000 spirit stones are equivalent to fifty times the Wang Family's annual profit."
"But I've calculated carefully, and to cover the entire Xuzhou in the shortest time and find a family specializing in Memory Stones to place large orders, this is indeed the approximate amount needed."
He wouldn't have revealed this to an ordinary person, as who could afford such a sum? But when he was in Fufeng City, he saw Chen Qiu and the others taking all the storage bags and rings from the demon race cultivators.
Their harvest must have been substantial.
Perhaps it could support his plan.
The initial investment of spirit stones was too high for most sects and families to afford, let alone the Yuncheng Wang Family where he currently worked.
He had almost given up on the plan, but meeting Chen Qiu and his group here seemed like a sign from heaven to proceed boldly.
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Qiu spoke softly, "You mentioned that your Nine Bulls Festival plan earned thousands of spirit stones. Where are those spirit stones? Are you negotiating with me as an Offering Priest of the Wang Family or as Liu Zide himself?"
"As Liu Zide."
Liu Zide's expression turned solemn. "Although Lord Wang is a good man, he values face. After setting up two cities, no matter how I tried to persuade him, he resolutely abandoned the plan."
"He said that a single Celestial Path Cultivation Pill wasn't worth the embarrassment."
"Lord Wang has already rushed back to Yuncheng. He told me to return whenever I'm ready. I wanted to follow Lord Wang back to Yuncheng, but I couldn't bear to give up such a huge business opportunity. This morning, when I left the inn to get something to eat, I was discovered by the Tiger Claw Gang. They thought it was unethical for me to replicate the Memory Stone for multiple forces."
"And then I met you all."
"Tell me your second condition."
"I'll use a portion of the 15,000 spirit stones to hire some escorts from the Zhao Family Escort Agency to protect my personal safety. This needs to be arranged in advance."
"And the third condition?"
"I need ten percent of the total profits."
Perhaps sensing Chen Qiu's hesitation, Liu Zide mustered his courage and said, "Trust me, I'm worth the price. You won't find anyone more suitable for this than me."
"Moreover, I'll provide you with an additional service."
"Although your appearance, Qiu Ge, isn't exceptionally stunning, your aura is quite unique, and your strength compared to your peers is absolutely unmatched within your level."
"I can package you, Qiu Ge, and quickly boost your fame."
"The method is simple."
"I'll shower spirit stones on storytellers in major cities, then on the Top Beauties Rankings, I'll spend a fortune to have several highly-ranked beauties express their love for you, and then you'll reject them."
"Next, I'll find some retired elders to publicly sigh, wishing they were like you in their youth."
"Finally, I'll create some stories and use other means to boost your fame. Your fame value will skyrocket."
"If you have some unique trump card..."
"That would be a killer move!"
"How about half of the ten percent? At least let me take something back to Yuncheng. Otherwise, I'll lose face returning empty-handed."
