Chapter 94: Birds of a Feather Flock Together. _4
"Even if he was literally throwing them into the river, it wouldn't have been this fast, would it?"
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the scholar, "Let's go, take me to him. If I don't knock his teeth out today, I'll take his surname!"
"..."
Chen Qiu's face was expressionless as he remained silent, repeatedly telling himself in his heart to stay calm, stay calm, stay calm. Then, after taking a deep breath, he said with a slightly trembling voice, "Are you sure he didn't just throw all the Spirit Stones into the river?"
"No."
The scholar shook his head, pulling out an account book from his bosom, "I'm not making excuses for him, but the truth is I've seen most of the expenditure myself; it's not been wasted. He even hired three accountants from Zhao's Commerce, with all the accounts recorded here."
"But the spending was a bit too fast..."
"The City Lord of Qiu Yuan City even specially allocated an area outside the city for him..."
...
"..."
Chen Qiu took the account book and skimmed through it, finding a long list of expenses neatly recorded. The account book was nearly fifty pages thick, and it appeared that indeed many of the expenses were necessary.
Before he could speak,
the scholar took out a Storage Bag from his bosom and handed it over, "This is the Heavenly Dao Blessing from Liu Zide and his group as of midnight tonight, with a total of 67 people making the list. The highest-ranked individual is now 829th on the Fame Ranking."
Liu Zide said, "The main task today was replicating the Memory Stones; they haven't been distributed widely yet. Wait until tomorrow when they start distributing them widely, and after it ferments a bit more."
"There will definitely be a huge harvest."
Chen Qiu accepted the Storage Bag and probed inside with his Divine Sense. A total of 67 Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills lay quietly inside, rather tempting to the eye.
"Huh..."
After pondering for a short while, he still took out a Storage Ring containing ten thousand Spirit Stones and tossed it over, saying earnestly, "Tell Liu Zide for me, if I'm to throw down 25,000 Spirit Stones and end up earning just a few hundred Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills in return."
"He should get ready to experience what heaven on earth truly feels like."
"Understood!"
As soon as these words were uttered, the scholar's figure had already vanished from the spot, and in the blink of an eye, he was by the side of Liu Zide in Qiu Yuan City, throwing the Storage Ring filled with Spirit Stones into the expectant arms of Liu Zide without any cheer.
"Here, Brother Qiu gave this to you."
"But Brother Qiu was clear, if you can earn him a few hundred Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills in return for throwing down 25,000 Spirit Stones, then you can look forward to your latter life."
"Don't worry."
Liu Zide's cheeks flashed with an abnormally excited blush, his entire complexion pale and the circles around his eyes dark, looking like a sickling as he pocketed the Storage Ring. Then he took out dozens of Spirit Stones and tossed them to the expectant crowd around him, roaring
"Triple the price!"
"Tell those family workshops, I'm offering triple the price for them to speed up, we're running out of Memory Stones!"
"Whoever is fast gets a feast; whoever is slow can go eat dog shit!"
...
In a temple in Kai Mountain City.
Chen Qiu introspectively looked at his purse that had instantly deflated again with some distress. Just last night he had gained 18,000 low-grade Spirit Stones and 24 Mid-grade Spirit Stones from the Storage Ring.
In the blink of an eye, 10,000 Spirit Stones had vanished.
Does Liu Zide even realize what 20,000 Spirit Stones signify?
But soon, he turned his attention to the 67 Foundation Establishment grade low-grade Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills in the Storage Ring.
To tell the truth, he was actually very satisfied with the harvest of the first day.
After all, 67 names had made it onto the list, which means that Liu Zide must have shot at least 67 scenes. Then, in a short period of time, he spread the Memory Stones enough to make these 67 individuals known enough to be listed, which was quite sufficient.
He believed that, barring any accidents, the harvest in the next few days would definitely be increasing significantly.
He finally understood why the Wang Family Patriarch of Yuncheng was so bold to place his bets; it's not that the patriarch had such great courage, but with someone like this acting as an advisor, once you approve his plan, you're essentially ready to bet everything you have.
