Chapter 698

Chen Changsheng’s words made the Little Immortal realize a crucial reason.

That is, to resolve the economic issues they were facing, they must enlist Chen Changsheng’s help.

Thinking this, the Little Immortal immediately said, “Brother, please help me out this time.”

“If this goes on, our financial problems will become very serious.”

“I know you have a good relationship with Emperor Huangtian and the others, but you were invited by me, you can’t help them!”

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng looked at the Little Immortal and stroked his chin, saying, “You have a point. Emotions aside, help is help; reasons must still be clear.”

“I’m stepping in to help you resolve the troubles here.”

“But this trouble does not include your economic situation.”

“If you want me to help you solve your current economic predicament, that will be another price.”

“This will also let those boys see if their ‘teacher’ is really that weak.”

Upon hearing this, the Little Immortal hesitantly said, “You know how poor we are.”

“We don’t have money, and at most, we can only owe you one more favor.”

“That won’t do. You’ve already owed me two favors; now I want something else.”

“What do you want?”

The Little Immortal asked curiously.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng pointed ahead and said, “It’s very simple; this area will belong to me from now on.”

“No, your appetite is too big.”

“Can you handle such a large area by yourself?”

“Whether I can handle it or not is my business. Rather than refuse outright, you might as well hear my terms first.”

“Once this area belongs to me, every five thousand years, I will provide you with a batch of resources worth ten trillion Divine Source.”

“The total time limit is twenty thousand years, which means resources worth forty trillion Divine Source.”

“After twenty thousand years, this area will belong to me.”

Faced with Chen Changsheng’s request, the Little Immortal was clearly tempted.

“Forty trillion Divine Source just to buy this place outright? That’s too much of a loss for us.”

“How about this; you provide us with resources for forty thousand years, and we will sell this place to you.”

“This place is not worth that much.”

Chen Changsheng smiled and put his arm around the Little Immortal’s neck, saying, “In just a short time, I’ve already seen several people from the Forbidden Ground enter Abyss City.”

“From the current situation, it’s obviously a lawless zone.”

“You have only just begun to gain control of this place; otherwise, you wouldn’t have rented the Abyss Rift to Qian Ya.”

“Low output, high investment; for you, this place is like a chicken rib.”

“Had it not been for its strategic significance, I believe you wouldn’t invest much energy here.”

“But after selling this place to me, you would save a lot of manpower and resources, and make a significant profit. Why not?”

“I can’t guarantee other things, but you should trust my broader perspective.”

“No one is more suited than me to manage this place.”

Faced with Chen Changsheng’s words, the Little Immortal firmly replied, “No matter how you argue, this place can’t be sold to you so easily.”

“I originally asked you for help, but it turns out I’m selling off territory; that makes it hard to justify the price.”

“Fine, since we’ve gotten this far in the conversation, I’ll make another concession.”

“Aside from the forty trillion Divine Source buyout price, I’ll give you ten percent of the output each year. This is already my biggest concession.”

“Warm reminder: If you think this book is good, to avoid not finding it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.”

“If you’re still not satisfied, then this cooperation can only be called off.”

“I’ll help you resolve the enemy issues; how you manage and plan is your business.”

Looking at Chen Changsheng’s smiling face, the Little Immortal tentatively asked, “How much output can we take with ten percent?”

“Not sure, as I don’t yet know much about this place.”

“But since Qian Ya has invested here, it proves that this place has excellent profit potential.”

“I once taught her that for a business with such high risk, if the profit margin isn’t at least double, it’s not worth investing.”

“Abyss City cannot be built without trillions in resources; additionally, the rent you receive, Qian Ya must have invested over fifteen trillion resources here.”

“By this estimate, she must earn at least thirty trillion resources here to break even, and it must be within ten thousand years.”

“An output of thirty trillion resources every ten thousand years is indeed a treasure.”

“But if I take charge, I’m confident I can increase the output to sixty trillion.”

Upon hearing this, the Little Immortal’s eyes lit up.

“This place can earn that much?”

“I can earn with my skills; anyone else would be at a loss.”

“So, are you satisfied with this price?”

Looking at Chen Changsheng’s beaming smile, the Little Immortal decisively said, “Agreed! It must be agreed! Anyone who opposes me can expect trouble.”

“From now on, you’re my lord. As long as it doesn’t interfere with the planning, whatever you ask me to do, I’ll do it.”

“Lord, please this way.”

Watching the Little Immortal’s carefree demeanor, Chen Changsheng smiled but said nothing, instead, he directly went into Abyss City.

At this moment, the Little Immortal, who was following Chen Changsheng, was already overjoyed.

Without Chen Changsheng, this place could only earn over four hundred billion every ten thousand years, and three hundred billion of that was from Qian Ya’s rent.

But what made the Little Immortal happiest was not the six hundred billion figure but the actual resources behind it.

Resources worth six hundred billion in Magic Treasures, killing a few powerful beings would certainly yield some, although it was difficult, it was still doable.

But those six hundred billion in basic resources couldn’t be taken merely by strength.

Herbs need people to gather, Dan Pills need people to refine, ores and similar materials need people to mine.

In addition, some output materials also have to be exchanged for urgently needed resources through various means.

These matters were things the Little Immortal and his companions currently could not manage, because they lacked professionals in this area.

Now, Chen Changsheng’s appearance completely solved their pressing problem.

……

Abyss City.

As Chen Changsheng arrived at the city gate, several cultivators who had just exited Abyss City were stunned.

“Hello!”

“Long time no see, how is the body of the Sacred Ruins’ envoy?”

Chen Changsheng greeted with a smile.

However, Chen Changsheng’s greeting did not earn him friendly faces from the cultivators.

The few cultivators shot the Little Immortal a fierce glance and then quickly slipped away.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng curiously said, “Little Immortal, do you often have such poor character?”

“They seem to really hate you.”

Hearing this, the Little Immortal rolled his eyes and said, “They hate me for good reason. Bringing you out this time has offended everyone.”
