Qige quick, Bai Ze and the three representatives of the Forbidden Ground began to exert their strength.
Under the pull of the four great experts’ spiritual power, a piece of land in the Small Realm was forcibly torn apart.
Facing this situation, the original inhabitants who first occupied this Small Realm could only remain silent.
Because they knew that as long as they dared to say half a “no,” this group of people could instantly make them disappear.
…
“Boom!”
A fragment of the Small Realm was dragged, causing even the void to tremble slightly.
The four great experts spent an hour’s time successfully dragging the fragment of the Small Realm to the designated location in Abyss City for purchasing soil.
After completing everything, Wang Zun turned to look at Bai Ze.
Facing Wang Zun’s gaze, Bai Ze smiled smugly and then took out a communicator and said,
“Everything is ready, come over.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Hua, Chai Yan’s father, led a group of people flying over from afar.
“Greetings, all the great lords.”
Chai Hua bowed to everyone.
Seeing this, Bai Ze spoke, “How many people did you bring back this time?”
“Reporting to the lord, this time there were a total of thirteen thousand eight hundred people.”
“Seven thousand people in the Shore of the Other Side Realm, four thousand people in the Consciousness Realm, two thousand people in the True Self Realm, and eight hundred people in the Lamp of Life Realm.”
“This is just the first batch of personnel; more people will continue to arrive later.”
“It’s barely enough; let these people start working.”
With a single command from Bai Ze, thirteen thousand eight hundred cultivators began landing on the fragments of the Small Realm.
Looking at those cultivators harvesting spiritual medicine, everyone felt somewhat dazed for a moment.
Shore of the Other Side Realm, Consciousness Realm, how familiar yet unfamiliar these names are!
It took a breath’s time for everyone to realize that these realms were actually the names of the initial realms in the Sea of Suffering System.
Thinking about this, a powerful person who came to observe opened his mouth.
“Bai Ze, there is a clear regulation in Abyss City that when purchasing soil, one cannot do so in the form of Small Realm fragments.”
“When you purchased soil back then, it was under this rule, but why has it suddenly changed now.”
Hearing this, Bai Ze rolled his eyes and said,
“Which eye did you see me use Small Realm fragments to pay for the project task?”
“I merely brought the Small Realm fragments over here in advance, is that not allowed?”
“The space of storage magic treasures is limited, and the distance between the distant Small Realm and Abyss City is fixed.”
“Because it’s a void region between the two places, at least an Immortal Sovereign Realm expert is needed to move them.”
“But if I use Immortal Sovereign Realm experts to do this, my costs would greatly increase.”
“But now, by bringing the Small Realm fragments to the entrance of Abyss City, with the support of these fragments, cultivators of lower realms can survive in the void.”
“After digging the soil, they just need to throw it down to complete the task.”
“Isn’t this method simpler than moving it bit by bit?”
“Doing business requires using your brain; how can you make money without using your brain?”
Bai Ze’s words instantly left everyone speechless.
Because this method was indeed simple, but no one had ever thought of it before.
At this moment, someone else among the observers spoke up.
“Even if you did this, you could only save part of the cost.”
“Using so many low-realm cultivators, the resources you spend are not a small amount.”
“You would still be losing money after taking on this project for eight billion.”
Hearing this, Bai Ze nodded and said.

“Indeed, taking on this project for eight billion would result in a loss.”
“These small cultivators, I hired them with money. According to the plan, I employed a total of thirty thousand people and signed fifty-year contracts.”
“On average, each person per year costs about one hundred million divine sources.”
“In other words, these thirty thousand people cost me three billion per year.”
“I estimated that for the soil project, the best effect is achieved with around ten thousand people working; too many people would slow things down.”
“After the project is completed, it would take about three years.”
“Although only ten thousand people are working, I still have to pay the wages of thirty thousand people.”
“The total wages for thirty thousand people for three years amount to ninety billion, plus fifteen billion for dragging the Small Realm fragments.”
“In total, the soil project cost me one hundred and five billion, resulting in a loss of twenty-five billion.”
Facing Zhi Ze’s words, Wang Zun calmly said, “Listening to you incur a loss of twenty-five billion, I am now even more convinced that you can make money.”
“If I’m not mistaken, these low-grade spiritual herbs must be one of your secrets, right?”
“That’s right, these spiritual herbs were planted by me personally. They are short-lived and of ordinary species, not worth much money.”
“But their quantity is large. Based on my estimate, the value of the spiritual herbs on this land is around three billion.”
“According to normal cultivation methods, three billion would allow me to make at most half of that.”
“The other half of the profit would be used to pay for harvesting the spiritual herbs.”
“But now, by having them harvest spiritual herbs while digging the soil, I don’t have to pay them extra costs.”
“In this way, I can earn three billion.”
Upon hearing this, Mao Weng raised his eyebrows.
“Adding the three billion from the spiritual herbs, you still have a loss of twenty-two billion. How do you plan to cover this loss?”
“When it comes to mining.”
“There are fewer minerals in the Small Realm, but there are some.”
“I have detected that there is a small mineral vein five thousand zhang below, with a total value of around eight billion.”
“If we only mine this vein, the total cost would be eight billion, which means this vein won’t make any money.”
“But now it’s different; the soil and stones of this Small Realm fragment will be dug up.”
“At that time, I can pick up a mineral vein worth eight billion.”
Zhi Ze’s words instantly enlightened everyone.
Because they had never thought that a project could make money beyond the project itself.
Just as everyone was about to continue questioning the losses, Chen Changsheng slowly opened his mouth.
“A few days ago, Abyss City received a carving order.”
“Somebody paid ten million to have a master carve a complete mineral vein.”
“Although this order hasn’t started yet, it was reserved by the Forbidden Ground of the Dead Sea at eighteen billion early on.”
“So the price of this mineral vein isn’t eight billion, but eighteen billion.”
Upon hearing this, Zhi Ze immediately became anxious.
“Chen Changsheng, how could you help outsiders? Don’t you have any humanity left?”
Facing Zhi Ze’s “anger,” Chen Changsheng glanced at him and said indifferently.
“Who forced you to sell this mineral vein to me?”
“You offered fourteen billion, but they offered eighteen billion, so I was going to sell it to them.”
“It’s your freedom to choose who to sell to, and it’s my freedom to reveal the information of Abyss City’s orders.”
“We are currently in a cooperative relationship; if you don’t hold me in high regard, I might cause you trouble.”
Everyone: “…”
No wonder the legendary auspicious beast would turn into such a state.
What kind of owner has what kind of dog, neither of you two are good stuff.
