Jiang Chen had originally planned on seeing the fourth floor, but after obtaining the Infinite Sword Technique, his heart burned with excitent.
He couldn’t wait to find a place to begin comprehending and cultivating it, so he abandoned the thought of going to the fourth floor.
He left the third floor with Xiaochan.
Before leaving, Xiaochan registered with the third-floor guard and received a list. It clearly stated Jiang Chen’s total purchase amount this ti: 16.8 billion silver!
Xiaochan wore a dazed expression. Even now, she couldn’t believe that on her very first day at the Money Comrce Association, she had managed to close such a massive deal!
’Just from the commission alone, I’ll get tens of millions of silver!’
「First Floor.」
Sister i saw Xiaochan trailing behind Jiang Chen, looking completely dejected. The smug look on her face intensified as she said to the others nearby, "See? I told you so. That country bumpkin is just a poor nobody. Look at Xiaochan—she probably didn’t sell a single thing. What a waste of ti!"
"Good thing we listened to Sister i!"
"Sister i, you’ll have to look out for us from now on!"
The group chid in.
Brimming with self-satisfaction, Sister i walked up to Jiang Chen and Xiaochan. Gloating, she said, "Xiaochan, didn’t manage to close a single deal, did you? I told you not to waste your ti on a country bumpkin like him!"
"Huh?"
Xiaochan was taken aback. Snapping out of her daze, she stamred, "Sis-Sister i, it’s, it’s not what you think... Young Master Jiang... he bought over ten billion worth of items!"
"What? Over ten billion? Are you fucking kidding ?" Sister i said, her face a mask of disbelief.
Xiaochan held out the list for Sister i to see. Sister i was completely stunned, her eyes wide. "Th-This is impossible! This country bumpkin? Over ten billion? This list must be fake! You’re in this together to trick !"
As she spoke, she shoved Xiaochan aside, snatched the list, and moved to tear it to shreds.
"Ah..."
Xiaochan cried out, a wronged expression on her face as she fell to the floor.
However, just as Sister i was about to rip the list, a flash of palm energy flew through the air and struck her across the face with a loud SLAP.
Sister i was sent flying backward. Jiang Chen’s indifferent voice followed, "How unreasonable. It’s one thing to look down on people, but to slander a good person on top of it... Scram. Don’t let see you again!"
"Ah... How dare you hit , you country bumpkin! I’ll kill you..."
Sister i roared, her face contorted with rage, and charged at Jiang Chen like a madwoman.
"Get lost!"
Jiang Chen lifted his foot and kicked her away.
Sister i lay on the ground, howling in agony. The commotion attracted several powerful figures from the Money Comrce Association. One of them, a lean middle-aged man, frowned at Sister i and asked, "What is going on here?"
"Steward, sir! It-it’s this country bumpkin! He and Xiaochan are colluding to scam people with a fake list!" Sister i played the victim, shooting a venomous glare at Jiang Chen. "This country bumpkin claims he bought over ten billion worth of items! Steward, just look at him! Does he look like soone who can afford sothing that expensive? Not only are they scamrs, but he also hit ! You have to stand up for ..."
However, before Sister i could finish her sentence, she was sent flying again, crashing heavily to the ground.
She stared at the middle-aged man in stunned disbelief. "St-Steward... why... why did you hit ?"
The Steward shot her a fierce glare and snapped, "Are you blind? This is Young Master Jiang Chen! Forget ten billion silver; he could pull out ten billion gold if he wanted to."
"Wh-what?"
Sister i froze on the spot, utterly astonished.
’Ten billion gold?’
’Damn it!’
’Just who the hell is this guy?’
Jiang Chen looked at the Steward with interest. "You know ?"
"When Young Master Jiang was winning a hundred straight victories in the Martial Arts Arena, this humble one happened to be there!" the Steward said with a fawning smile.
Jiang Chen acknowledged him with a simple "Oh," then said coolly, "Xiaochan is excellent... As for this woman, heh, she makes question the quality of service at your Money Comrce Association!"
"Rest assured, Young Master Jiang. From now on, parasites like her will no longer be seen in the Money Comrce Association. Xiang i, as of today, you’re fired!" the Steward announced, casting a cold glance at Sister i.
"No... You can’t fire ! You can’t..." Sister i yelled in despair.
The Steward snorted coldly. "Guards! Throw her out!"
"Yes, sir!"
Two of the powerful experts stepped forward, grabbed Sister i, and tossed her out the door like a bag of trash.
The few staff mbers who had been following Sister i were all completely shocked. However, they felt no pity for her. Instead, a trace of resentnt appeared in their eyes.
When Jiang Chen had first arrived, so of them had wanted to serve him.
But Sister i’s words had made them change their minds.
In the end, they had missed out on a deal worth over ten billion, letting a little newcor who had only been here a day snatch it away. How could they not resent Sister i?
The Steward, however, ignored their gazes and turned to Xiaochan with a smile. "Xiaochan, you did very well. From today onward, you are the assistant manager of the first floor. In the future, whenever Young Master Jiang visits the Association, you will be the one to receive him!"
"Huh? ?"
Xiaochan pointed at herself with a dazed look. Only after the Steward nodded did her expression turn to one of excitent. "Thank you, Steward! I-I definitely won’t let you down!"
Everyone around her watched with undisguised envy.
"Mm."
The Steward smiled and then looked at Jiang Chen. "Young Master Jiang, is there anything else I can do for you?"
"I heard your Money Comrce Association has the Four Great Training Rooms of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow?" Jiang Chen asked.
The Steward nodded. "Yes, that’s correct. The Money Comrce Association once spent imnse financial and human resources to find so Deep Sea Agarwood, which we used to construct the Four Great Training Rooms. However, the fees are very high. The lowest-level, the Yellow Level training room, costs one million gold per day. The Profound Level is ten million, the Earth Level is one hundred million, and the Celestial Level is one billion!"
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but be surprised.
’One billion gold for a single day of cultivation?’
’The Money Comrce Association really knows how to make money!’
Even the disciples of great, wealthy families would rarely be willing to spend so much to train here. However, Jiang Chen possessed the Golden Martial Fighting Order, which allowed him to enjoy all the services of the Martial Arts Arena for free.
Naturally, this ant he could use the Celestial-level Training Room without any restraint.
He took out the Golden Martial Fighting Order. "I have this. I’d like to use the Celestial-level Training Room. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
"The Golden Martial Fighting Order?"
The Steward was stunned for a mont, then quickly replied, "Of course, it’s no problem! With this token, Young Master Jiang can use the Celestial-level Training Room for free. I’ll take you there right now!"
"I appreciate it."
Jiang Chen smiled, said goodbye to Xiaochan, and headed for the Celestial-level Training Room.
The Money Comrce Association’s training rooms were built from the rare Deep Sea Agarwood, which had the effect of calming the mind and improving cultivation efficiency.
Based on the different speeds and effects of improvent, the training rooms were also divided into the four levels of Celestial, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.
Among them, there were only ten Celestial-level Training Rooms. They could increase cultivation speed by four tis, and the daily fee was as high as one thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Crystals, equivalent to one billion gold.
The training room’s decor was very simple. The walls were all made of Deep Sea Agarwood, and there was only a wooden bed and nothing else.
"The Money Comrce Association really has it easy when it cos to making money. A single room like this earns them a billion a day!"
Jiang Chen shook his head, then unfurled the Infinite Sword Technique...
