The moment these words were spoken, Jia Cheng immediately showed a look of difficulty.
“Imperial Tutor, this team is crucial for maintaining the stability of Abyss City.”
“If the personnel here are so mixed, without powerful figures to suppress them, chaos will surely occur.”
Facing Jia Cheng’s words, Chen Changsheng nodded and said, “What you say makes sense. No one needs to be left behind; everyone should leave.”
“Imperial Tutor, but…”
Before Jia Cheng could finish his sentence, Chen Changsheng glared at him.
“You must understand that I am not discussing with you; I am ordering you.”
“Within ten days, all teams will gradually withdraw from Abyss City. This is my mandate!”
“If I recall correctly, since the founding of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, they have sworn allegiance only to Emperor Huangtian and the Undertaker.”
“Has the situation changed so much that my mandate no longer holds?”
Seeing the conversation had reached this point, Jia Cheng could only bow in respect.
“I will comply!”
“That’s more like it.”
“Every thousand years, the God of Wealth will send someone to collect supplies. The terms have already been agreed upon with the God of Wealth.”
“At the same time, the communication facilities here must remain operational, always staying connected.”
“Oh, what is the main output here?”
“All forces want a share here. Surely there must be countless resources.”
“Imperial Tutor, three thousand miles ahead of Abyss City lies a small world.”
“This world is three hundred eighty million miles long and one hundred twenty million miles wide. Within this world, there are countless precious minerals.”
Hearing this answer, Chen Changsheng furrowed his brows and said, “This world sounds like a mine vein!”
“Imperial Tutor, this world is indeed a mine vein, and a rich and complex one at that.”
“Why don’t Wu Li and his people move it back home?”
“Even if the enemy is strong, they should still have some way to do it.”
“Imperial Tutor, this small world is quite special; it has generated its own Heavenly Mandate.”
“Although the scale of the Heavenly Mandate is small, within this small world, it stands invincible.”
“Whenever a powerful enemy arrives, the enemy flees. Once our experts leave, they return.”
“But forcibly breaking this small world would not align with strategic planning, hence the situation of Heaven’s Mandate.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, “Apart from this small world, are there other places where living beings reside in this region?”
“Yes, besides this mine vein small world, there are over thirty other small worlds around here.”
“However, these small worlds haven’t generated their own Heavenly Mandates, and their resource outputs aren’t particularly abundant.”
“Moreover, they are all occupied by extremely vicious individuals.”
“What kind of identities are these people?”
“They are outcasts, traitors, demon cultivators, evil cultivators, and such.”
“If His Excellency finds them bothersome, I can lead troops to exterminate them.”
Feeling the intense fighting spirit in Jia Cheng’s tone, Chen Changsheng smiled and patted his shoulder.
“With such boldness, you truly are a fierce general. However, you’re not quite familiar with logistics work.”
“Go tell the God of Wealth that after all these years, her abilities haven’t improved much. I’m starting to lose hope.”
“I’ve leased Abyss City for five trillion every ten thousand years.”
“Also, when you leave, dismantle all the buildings in the city, keeping only the walls and defensive formations.”
With that, Chen Changsheng walked away leisurely, leaving Jia Cheng bewildered.
To be honest, meeting this legendary figure, Jia Cheng felt quite excited.
But everything Chen Changsheng did was beyond his comprehension.
—
Ten days passed quickly, yet enormous changes occurred in Abyss City during this period.
Firstly, Abyss City used the pretext of repairing the city to evict everyone inside.
Then, the guards of Abyss City began to withdraw.
Such actions left everyone stunned.
If not for Chen Changsheng’s earlier bold claims, many would have thought that Emperor Huangtian and company were abandoning this place.
Just as everyone prepared to see what Chen Changsheng had in store, a table and a sign quietly stood at the city gate.
“Recruitment of Personnel, Accommodation and Meals Provided, Including Five Insurances and Housing Fund.”
Seeing the puzzling content on the sign, everyone was utterly confused.
But everyone only dared to watch from a distance, none daring to step forward, as the Undertaker had tricked many before.
After an unknown amount of time, a rank three Immortal King wearing a conical hat stepped forward.
“Are you recruiting subordinates?”
“It counts, but also doesn’t.”
“What do you mean?”
“The meaning is simple: I pay, you work.”
“So how is that different from recruiting subordinates?”
“The difference is huge. If I recruit subordinates, it means you cannot betray me. If you betray me, you will be hunted down.”
“But this model is different. If you ever decide you don’t want to work with me anymore, just let me know and you can leave.”
“But you must remember, when you leave, you cannot harm my interests, otherwise, you will still be hunted down.”
“Can you leave even if you don’t want to execute the mission?”
“You can leave anytime. I won’t deduct any money from your pay.”
Hearing this, the man wearing the conical hat felt somewhat tempted.
After all, those who came here wanted to make money.
“What does ‘Five Insurances and Housing Fund’ mean?”
“It means five types of insurance and retirement benefits. During your employment, if you suffer injuries, sword wounds, burns, poison, or other injuries, you can be treated in Abyss City.”
“For the first four types of injuries, I will cover half of the treatment costs, and for other injuries, I will cover three-tenths.”
“Injuries from great Dao and some special injuries are not covered by insurance, and you need to bear the costs yourself.”
“Retirement benefits are easier to understand. After working for ten thousand years, I will give you the full retirement benefits and add an extra two-tenths.”
“From a fundamental perspective, such welfare measures result in a loss for me, so I need to deduct one and a half percent from your pay as the cost of the Five Insurances and Housing Fund.”
“The specific ratios will be explained in writing later. If you don’t want to contribute to the Five Insurances and Housing Fund, you can explain that in advance.”
“This is the specific situation. You can take a look.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng smiled and handed over a piece of paper.
Immediately afterward, the rank three Immortal King copied the content on the paper countless times and spread it around.
After all, he had come out to gather information for everyone.
For a moment, countless experts silently calculated whether Chen Changsheng’s terms were reasonable.
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, “So how much are you planning to pay us, and what tasks will we be executing?”
“This depends on specific negotiations, as the compensation naturally varies based on the job.”
“I currently need to hire these few professions. You can take a look.”
Speaking, Chen Changsheng took out another piece of paper.
