Chapter 91: Although Still Garbage

After learning that the Divine Devil Dojo held no prejudice against them, the forces outside the city also relaxed and often visited the Divine Devil Dojo.

“Field Master, I wish to request Senior Li Guang to clear out some demon beasts,” Luo Qing stood at the dojo’s entrance and said somewhat nervously. “There is a valley outside the city. The demon beasts inside often rush out to eat people. They must be exterminated.”

“What is the strength of the demon beasts in that valley?” Jiang Taixuan asked. After a pause, he added, “Do not hide anything. Otherwise, if Li Guang gets angry, the consequences will be severe.”

Only by knowing their exact strength could he quote a suitable price… no, evaluate and state an appropriate price.

“Field Master, inside the valley are three Foundation Building demonic beasts and some Innate monster beasts,” Luo Qing quickly replied.

“Exterminate them all, or just the three Foundation Building ones?”

“Just the three Foundation Building ones will do. I can handle the rest,” Luo Qing said.

“Then two thousand Yuan Coins. Additionally, one of the demon beasts will belong to the dojo,” Jiang Taixuan extended two fingers.

“Thank you, Field Master,” Luo Qing was overjoyed and promptly took out two thousand Yuan Coins.

Summoning Li Guang, Jiang Taixuan pointed at the sign and said to the many forces from outside the city, “Clear Moon City has already begun developing the Monster Beast Mountains and Qingyue Lake. What about you? Once they turn those resources into money and enhance their strength, your positions might not be so secure.”

The expressions of Luo Qing and the others changed. If they had sufficient strength, they would definitely expand outward and seize more resources!

Similarly, once the forces inside Clear Moon City developed, they would certainly expand and annex the nearest ones—them.

“Field Master, I will develop that valley well,” Luo Qing said solemnly. He had already decided before coming: take the valley, develop it, and transport the resources out to sell.

“Field Master, we also wish to rent,” the other families immediately understood. This was the path to soaring success!

Relying on past robbery schemes not only earned little money but also earned them a bad reputation. Who knew when some do-gooder might come to mete out justice.

If they developed various resources, transported them out, and sold them for money, that was legitimate business and a long-term strategy.

“Report the details—what kind of environment, opponents, what difficulty—and I will give an appropriate price,” Jiang Taixuan said with a smile.

“Foundation Building, two of them,” one family head said.

“Three Foundation Building, clear a forest.”

“Clear a small hill, one Foundation Building.”

“Hmm, Li Yuanba, peerlessly fierce, can easily kill two. One thousand five hundred Yuan Coins. For three Foundation Building, find Divine Marquis Zhuge. Once the formation is activated, they’ll all kneel no matter how many come—two thousand Yuan Coins. For one Foundation Building, find Wu Song—one thousand Yuan Coins, no commission.”

Jiang Taixuan smilingly assigned the strong fighters. Today, Wu Song did not go to clear Qingyue Lake. Those guys had no money; they had to sell their resources, and only after getting money could they rent.

All the Gods and Demons were sent out on missions. Many families still had not rented any, but Jiang Taixuan took their money first. The Gods and Demons would go to the next family after finishing the previous one’s task.

After seeing off the various major families from outside the city, Jiang Taixuan’s dojo welcomed another guest.

“Oh, Young Master Wang, Young City Lord Wang, what a rare guest,” Jiang Taixuan expressed surprise. Since the turmoil in Clear Moon City and their visit for help, he had not appeared again.

Now, did he have money again?

Wang Mingming had been in high spirits recently. With his father becoming the City Lord, he was the Young City Lord and now strutted arrogantly through the city. Not only did no one say anything, but a bunch of flatterers even said his walking posture wasn’t domineering enough.

Wang Mingming puffed out his chest, looking immensely pleased with himself. “Field Master, thanks to your great fortune, I, Wang Mingming, have achieved today’s status.”

“Heh,” Jiang Taixuan chuckled lightly and invited him into the dojo. “What brings you here this time?”

“I want to buy a God-Demon Pill. You know, last time, that one didn’t fully clear my meridians,” Wang Mingming said with an awkward laugh, carrying a hint of dissatisfaction. “Field Master, that Great Cloud Royal Family is really stingy. I, a dignified Young City Lord, only get one hundred Gold Coins per month.”

Taking out ten thousand Yuan Coins and handing them to Jiang Taixuan, Wang Mingming looked displeased.

“Then, these ten thousand Yuan Coins?” Jiang Taixuan was puzzled. If his monthly allowance was one hundred Gold Coins, where did these ten thousand Yuan Coins come from?

“My father became the City Lord, right? He sold the old mansion, gathered some more, and gave me over ten thousand,” Wang Mingming said, rubbing his hands together.

“I see,” Jiang Taixuan nodded and took out a God-Demon Pill for him. “Would you like some after-sales service?”

“No need, I’ll go back and take it,” Wang Mingming pocketed the God-Demon Pill, went to the turntable, inserted coins for a draw. “This time, with several hundred Yuan Coins, I don’t believe I won’t get a prize.”

Jiang Taixuan opened his mouth but kindly did not tell him that Yang Ziling had spent tens of thousands and still didn’t get a prize.

“Ding, thank you for participating.”

“Ding, you obtained an ordinary stone.”

“Ding, you…”

Sure enough, this guy’s luck was still incredibly bad.

Jiang Taixuan couldn’t bear to watch.

Opening the Celestial Network, Clear Moon City was thriving. Liu Qingming, the dean of Clear Moon Academy, had successfully adopted over a dozen orphans. Following Jiang Taixuan’s guidance, Liu Qingming also had them go out to work to earn money for the academy.

Although this seemed shameful, somewhat like bullying children and shameless exploitation, for Clear Moon City to develop, they had to do it.

In this world, the one thing not in shortage was dead people and orphans. People died all the time, families were destroyed all the time, leaving young children to wander and live miserable lives.

Liu Qingming’s action was also saving them. After all, this world was too dangerous. Who knew when someone might kill them out of displeasure.

With Clear Moon City’s development, the commoners were frustrated.

Jobs were already hard to find. Now a large group of martial artists came to work, shamelessly snatching jobs. Their pressure was immense.

“Field Master, what should we do?” A post, carrying a tone of sorrow, tagged him.

“What about?” Jiang Taixuan was confused.

“Field Master, we can’t afford the monthly wages anymore,” Liu Zheng cried.

He was just the head of a small family. He had teamed up with other families to contract Qingyue Lake. But now, they hadn’t even cleared one-third of Qingyue Lake and were out of money.

They couldn’t afford to rent Wu Song anymore. That wasn’t urgent; after all, he had gotten many resources from Qingyue Lake, already transported out for sale. They would soon recoup their investment and even make a profit.

But his workers had labored for so long. Not only were their wages low, but now he had no money left to pay them. Without money, who would work for him?

These small families, even all combined, didn’t have many people.

“Are you stupid? Let them buy shares. Have them form an alliance to develop Qingyue Lake together. They contribute effort, get a share of the profits,” Jiang Taixuan sneered disdainfully. “Fixed wages are the least motivating. Give them shares. The more they harvest, the more they get. That way, they’ll work their hardest.”

Liu Zheng was stunned. Could it be done this way? Clear Moon City had no precedent for this!

“Qingyue Lake, once the Foundation Building demonic beasts are cleared, is almost a guaranteed profitable venture. After you improve your strength, the demon beasts inside can be bred for premium quality. Don’t you know what premium means?”

“Breed Foundation Building demonic beasts, understand? When you break through to Dao Fruit and become Dao Fruit Martial Artists, you’ll sell Foundation Building demonic beasts in the future. When you become even more impressive later, you’ll sell Path Fruit monster beasts.”

Jiang Taixuan described the beautiful future scenario, feeling a little excited in his heart for a moment.

Liu Zheng was dumbfounded, then said, “Thank you, Field Master. I’ll go discuss this with them immediately.”

“Good. Remember, you’re taking the premium route. Only sell premium goods, although those are also garbage, just slightly stronger garbage,” Jiang Taixuan said with a sneer.

Liu Zheng was not happy this time. Foundation Building demonic beasts were still garbage? Only you could say that.
