Chapter 708

“Boom!”

The gates of Abyss City opened, and Chen Changsheng walked in with a smile.

In the empty Abyss City stood several silhouettes.

“Hahaha!”

“I was wondering why I felt unusually happy today; turns out I have distinguished guests visiting!”

As he spoke, Chen Changsheng waved his hand, and a puppet appeared from a nearby array formation.

A huge table was brought out, and Chen Changsheng took the main seat, gesturing invitingly to the figures.

Seeing this, the indistinct figures sat down.

Soon, several cups of hot tea were placed in front of them.

Looking at the people in front of him, Chen Changsheng said, “Although I often communicate with you all, this is my first time meeting you.”

“How should I address you?”

Upon hearing this, the leading figure responded, “We are representatives from the Forbidden Ground, you can call us by that name.”

“Fair enough, after all, a name is just a code. What’s specific doesn’t matter as long as we can strike a deal.”

“I assume you all have observed us for a long time before coming.”

“I won’t say any cliché statements; those are just to fool that group of fools outside.”

“The two words ‘money and power’, you all must want to get your hands on, right?”

Hearing this, the Ancient One nodded and said, “The God of Wealth’s methods of accumulating riches can be described as extraordinary.”

“As the God of Wealth’s teacher, the Undertaker must have reached the pinnacle of mastery.”

“Now you control Abyss City, intending to create a grand resource supply warehouse; how could we miss out on such a great opportunity?”

“We have both money and manpower; what can you offer us in return?”

In response to the Ancient One’s words, Chen Changsheng calmly said, “What I can offer you is more money and more people.”

“The Forbidden Ground has existed in this world for a long time; your accumulation is beyond imagination.”

“But having too much foundation can also be a problem because you cannot turn some things into what you want.”

“I can help you with that.”

“You want the corpse of Zhu Long, but this thing is tightly in my grasp.”

“Similarly, there are things in your hands that I want, but you have never had the intention of giving them to me.”

“Rather than guarding your assets and living day by day, we might as well engage in a real fair trade.”

Hearing this, the representative of Sacred Forbidden Ground spoke up.

“The Undertaker’s schemes are well-known across the heavens; if you want us to trust you, shouldn’t you provide some assurances?”

“That’s reasonable!”

“Building a trading platform that everyone can trust does require a substantial guarantee.”

“The guarantee I offer is the Abyss City beneath your feet.”

“The estimated value of Abyss City should be in the hundreds of trillions. Besides, it has an extremely important strategic position.”

“This means that even if you choose not to cooperate with me, I will not allow the environment of Abyss City to suffer any destruction.”

“Is this guarantee enough to convince you?”

Facing the “big pie” Chen Changsheng offered, the representative of Deadly Valley spoke, “We’ve had our fill of your big pie already.”

“Rather than talking about this, let’s discuss something practical.”

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

“Investment in Abyss City, what exactly can we gain? Please be more specific.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and pointed outside, saying, “Your biggest return lies with those people outside.”

“Everything in this world, in my eyes, has no value if it can run or move.”

“Training a powerful being in the Immortal King Realm requires an enormous amount of resources, and even then, we can’t guarantee they will become top-tier in the Immortal King Realm.”

“But if we don’t train strong beings, we will have no one to rely on.”

“Therefore, I have pondered a question: how can we quickly acquire a large number of helpers?”

“And those cannon fodder in the Immortal King Realm outside are precisely the ‘resources’ we all urgently need.”

Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, the Ancient One chuckled and said, “This novel theory is something I’ve never heard before.”

“However, what can that group of cannon fodder accomplish? The strongest among them might only be at Immortal King Rank Five.”

“Even if all these people came together, they might not be able to shake you; what use are they?”

“No, no, no!”

Chen Changsheng smiled, refuting the Ancient One’s viewpoint.

“They are not useless at all; on the contrary, they have significant value in my eyes.”

“For instance, take the Mine Vein Small Realm outside—everyone knows it’s a treasure land, but no one can do anything about it.”

“The main reason for this is its peculiar location; we cannot move the entire realm away.”

“Besides, the hardness of the ore gives us headaches.”

“Even if we go there personally to mine, we wouldn’t get much in a short time.”

“But if I have a massive number of cannon fodder, even if I sit here idly, vast quantities of resources will pour into my pockets every day.”

“At this moment, while I am chatting with you, the accounts already show a million Divine Sources have been recorded, while your income is zero.”

“This is the benefit those cannon fodder bring to me, and I only need to pay them a minuscule amount of resources.”

Hearing this, the Sacred Ruins seemed a bit tempted.

“Well then, besides this, do we have any other benefits?”

“Of course! This group of cannon fodder can also help you eliminate enemies.”

“For example, currently, there is a Rank Six Immortal King’s family provoking the Forbidden Ground; this Rank Six Immortal King is also a Heavenly Prodigy.”

“To wipe out such a family, you’d need to use elites from the Rank Four Immortal King level, and you might even have to mobilize Rank Five.”

“Training these elites is incredibly difficult, and losing them would be a complete loss.”

“But with this group of cannon fodder, it’s different; if one Rank Three Immortal King can’t win, I can send ten; if ten can’t win, I can send one hundred.”

“The reason cannon fodder are called cannon fodder is that they can’t handle hard fights, but they can handle advantageous ones!”

“Once an advantage is secured, the means of these cannon fodder may not be inferior to those of the elites.”

“Elites are one in a million, but cannon fodder are everywhere; using cannon fodder as if they were elites is a very cost-effective approach.”

After hearing this, a previously silent representative from the Reincarnation Forbidden Ground finally spoke.

“This truly is a worthy investment; the only question is how we can join in.”

“I believe you shouldn’t be lacking resources right now.”

“Indeed, I am not lacking resources, but I lack manpower. Whether elite or cannon fodder, I need them both.”

“You must go outside to help me retrieve people. I don’t care if you catch them or lure them.”

“After some time, I want to see the population of this land double.”
