Bai Ze’s series of operations opened everyone’s eyes.
At this moment, the representative of the Upper Firmament Forbidden Ground spoke up: “Counting all these, you still have a loss of 400 million.”
“How do you plan to make up for this 400 million?”
“Don’t worry, I still have a trump card.”
Bai Ze flashed a mysterious smile and shouted towards the distance, “Girl, ignite it!”
With the command given, the wood collected by Chai Yan over the past ten years was instantly set ablaze.
Watching the raging flames from afar, Bai Ze said proudly, “Abyss City purchases soil based on volume.”
“The wood over there is the ‘garbage’ you used to discard while transporting soil.”
“I’ll burn this wood to charcoal, then crush it and mix it into the soil. This way, the volume of the soil will increase.”
“Conservatively estimating, this can earn me an additional 100 million.”
Faced with Bai Ze’s method, everyone’s gaze suddenly shifted to Chen Changsheng.
The meaning was obvious; everyone felt that this operation was against the rules.
However, under so many gazes, Chen Changsheng calmly said, “Abyss City purchases soil to cultivate a large medicinal field.”
“The composition of the soil is quite complex, containing water and some decayed plant remnants.”
“To lighten the weight of transportation, you often extract the moisture inside, then transport it.”
“At the same time, the volume of soil after the moisture is extracted will be slightly fluffier.”
“The little tricks you’ve played have complicated the subsequent work for Abyss City.”
“Comparatively, I prefer to purchase Bai Ze’s soil, as it requires no extra processing.”
“This is also why I wanted to contract out some projects; the distribution of personnel is too scattered, making quality hard to control.”
After listening to Chen Changsheng’s words, everyone chose to remain silent.
After all, during the early transportation of the soil, everyone had played tricks.
Bai Ze’s actions were actually correct; the only reason for not following suit was pure laziness.
Thinking this, Wang Zun looked at Bai Ze and said, “Your methods are indeed clever, but after expending so much effort, you are still at a loss.”
“A loss of 300 million isn’t a big deal for you, but what is your purpose in doing this?”
“Of course, it’s to earn more money.”
Bai Ze smugly glanced at Wang Zun and laughed, “I’m definitely losing on the 8 billion soil project.”
“But don’t forget, my profit and loss on this soil project are basically balanced.”
“I hired 30,000 people, but I’ve only used a little over 10,000; two-thirds I haven’t touched at all.”
“If I had assigned those 20,000 people to other projects, the cost of those other projects would essentially equal zero.”
“This means I’ve pocketed the wages of 20,000 people for three years, totaling 4 billion.”
“And this doesn’t even count the profits from other projects.”
“Although I’ve lowered the project price and earned less, all the projects are in my hands, leaving others with no projects to work on.”
“Thus, I’ve long earned a considerable profit.”
“Additionally, taking these projects gives me an extra income, which is the ticket money from all of you.”
“If I hadn’t taken these projects, would you spend money to learn from me?”
“Clap! Clap!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the representative of the Nothingness Forbidden Ground began to applaud.
“Brilliant! Truly brilliant!”
“It’s no wonder that the living beings trained by the Undertaker bring such value for the 10 million ticket price.”
“Ha ha ha!”

“A little trick, nothing to mention.”
“If you’re willing to spend money, I have more tricks to teach you.”
Ignoring Bai Ze’s words, everyone turned and left.
After all, doing tricks is far less glorious than being an actual dog; it’s truly not a dignified profession.
Floating slowly in the Void, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “The first tour stop is over; what would you all like to visit next?”
Looking at the smiling Chen Changsheng, Wang Zun glanced at him and said flatly, “Bai Ze has hired so many low-level cultivators; there must be other uses for them. What is his purpose?”
Faced with Wang Zun’s inquiry, Chen Changsheng solemnly replied, “How would I know someone else’s secret?”
“Moreover, even if I knew, I couldn’t freely reveal it.”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s expression, the representative of the Upper Firmament Forbidden Ground spoke up: “We naturally won’t ask you about others’ secrets, but Bai Ze learned from you.”
“As long as the price is right, anything about you, Chen Changsheng, you would dare to sell.”
“The reason we aren’t asking Bai Ze is that we don’t want to see that smug look on his face.”
“How much, name your price.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng rubbed his hands and smiled: “You few are wealthy and certainly can afford it.”
“But there are so many people here; I can’t possibly just tell a few of you.”
Everyone: “……”
No wonder you can make money; you don’t miss any opportunity for profit!
Soon, everyone took out a million Divine Sources to give to Chen Changsheng.
With nearly a thousand people, each contributing a million, it added up to a total of 10 billion Divine Sources.
After receiving this unexpected windfall, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “Bai Ze hiring those people is quite intentional; they are not only low-level but also on the verge of breaking through.”
“If I’m not mistaken, Bai Ze must have signed fixed contracts.”
“This means, within fifty years, no matter how much those people’s cultivation improves, the rewards they receive will remain the same.”
“Low-level cultivators and you high-level cultivators are different.”
“For you, even a small bottleneck could easily take hundreds of years.”
“But for them, breaking through a bottleneck won’t take nearly as long.”
“In fifty years, most low-level cultivators can upgrade a tier.”
“Hiring cultivators of different levels comes with different costs.”
“For projects like digging soil, it’s easy and manageable; a cultivator at the Immortal King Realm can equal thousands of low-level cultivators.”
“If an Immortal King digs soil for a hundred years, his speed won’t change much, because his cultivation hasn’t increased.”
“But if a low-level cultivator digs soil for a hundred years, his cultivation will certainly improve, and his digging speed will also increase.”
“Now do you understand why Bai Ze hired low-level cultivators?”
Chen Changsheng’s words opened up a new Crimson Realm for everyone.
Because these lofty Immortal Kings had never considered that low-level cultivators could also be productive.
Thinking about this, the old man chuckled at Chen Changsheng: “Sopping up every last drop, unscrupulous in business; it must refer to a person like you.”
“Alas!”
“You can’t say that, the project is in your hands; it will be you who is sopping up every last drop, not me.”
“Because my targets for exploitation have never been the common folk, but you high-ranking individuals.”
“I could accept an equal situation for all, but can you coexist as equals with these ‘ants’?”
