Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 430: My Own Brother Is the God of Wealth!

"I can learn!" Yun Shu quickly said, "The people of Cloud City are simple and honest. Doing business here doesn’t involve much deceit. So even if we occasionally misjudge, the losses won’t be substantial. I am committed to learning how to distinguish the quality of Spirit dicine thoroughly."

Hu Zhile chid in, "Although not as knowledgeable as the Venerable Family, I’m naturally sensitive to auras. I’ve traveled a lot in the past, and I have a fair sense of the quality of Spirit dicine.

The Venerable Family ntioned that we don’t need to keep the store open every day to collect dicine. Initially, I can lend a hand, and I believe Yun Shu will handle it smoothly in no ti."

Jiang Yuan was very satisfied with the mutual support and win-win situation among the courtyard mbers. Hearing this, he nodded in agreent and took out two silver notes from his Storage Bag, handing them over, "Here’s 500,000 Spirit Stones. I’ll leave the matter of opening a Spirit dicine recycling shop in Cloud City entirely to you. If there’s anything you’re uncertain about, feel free to contact or seek help from everyone."

After a mont of thought, he still felt a bit uneasy and withdrew 20 pieces of Immortal Jade from his account, "Keep these spare Immortal Jades safe. Don’t wait until you have too little Energy remaining; use them as needed, prioritizing your own safety."

"Yes, sir! I will definitely handle everything properly, sir!" Yun Shu accepted the silver notes and Immortal Jade with both hands, feeling very excited inside.

Being fully entrusted to manage the shop is a sign of the master’s trust, indicating that I am useful and won’t be disposed of!

Besides, the master is so kind, even worrying about the safety of a Puppet...

She was incredibly touched, though Jiang Yuan hadn’t thought so far ahead.

He simply felt that being a system-bound tool Puppet free from concerns of betrayal and equipped with self-protection thods, if Yun Shu could carry out such detailed market research, it shows she was dedicated. Given that, why not let Yun Shu try it on her own?

If we incur a loss, it’s just so Spirit Stones; it’s no big deal. If we don’t, everyone will be happy, and I can easily profit from processing acquired Spirit dicine into Elixirs and selling them.

It’s delightful to have a mature and intelligent Puppet who can work independently and contribute to the courtyard’s developnt.

"Immortal Jade?!" Looking at that pile of sparkling Immortal Jade being given away so easily, Qingniao was envious.

She thought, no wonder everyone is so loyal; my own brother must be the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!

It was so foolish to talk about "leaving the courtyard." If anyone tries to make leave the courtyard, I’m going to be really upset!

"Brother, what are you going to do later?" Qingniao asked seriously, munching on a fish head. "Is there anything I can help with?"

[Qingniao Fav 100]

[... Fav 100]

Seeing these numbers flash by, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but smile secretly.

Even a reincarnated Tribulation Crossing Realm leader has a weakness for wealth, it seems. No need to worry about favorability, just find the right direction and wait for this little girl’s favor to skyrocket!

Once the side mission is completed, and she climbs back to the Peak to beco a Tribulation Crossing Realm authority, she’ll have an incredible network.

"Later on..." He looked around at the courtyard mbers indulging in a feast and thought going to Carefree City for team building seed like a good idea, "Let’s take a break today. After dinner, we’ll head to Carefree City for a stroll, and maybe have a detailed discussion about hunting with Daoist Xie."

Take a stroll?

Qingniao was taken aback for a mont, then realized she hasn’t had the chance to understand the current world’s situation since her reincarnation. Maybe it would be wise to take this opportunity to broaden her horizons.

"Yay!" she cheered, clenching her tiny fists excitedly, "I want to go shopping!"

"That’s perfect. Master, you should see how sister Hu has tidied up the small courtyard in Carefree City the past few days."

"We added quite a few things, and senior Hu even set up a special tea room, just perfect for entertaining senior Xie..."

......

Talking about strolling through Carefree City, the atmosphere at the dining table beca even more joyous, and the dishes filled with Spiritual Energy seed even more delicious.

After dinner, Jiang Yuan led the group directly to Carefree City through the Ancient Teleportation Array.

Currently in its early stage, the Ancient Teleportation Array can save thirty independent marked teleportation points. To store more points, they will need to gather materials to upgrade. Naturally, the upgraded Ancient Teleportation Array will be able to reach farther regions, unlocking more maps for Spirit Stones.

"One spot left for Dark Forest hunting!"

"Which cultivator dares to take on the Fox Wolf Cave hunt? Huge rewards offered!"

"This ti, we’ve been lucky. Top-quality Demon Cores can sell for a good price!"

"Have you heard? There’s another big one appearing at Bibo Lake to the north..."

......

Just after teleporting over, the lively clamor filled their ears.

Qingniao took in a sniff of the air filled with the scent of Demon Beast blood and Demon Cores, feeling puzzled, she whispered, "Brother, aren’t they all Demon Cultivators? Why are so many of them hunting Demon Beasts? Do they not care about their own kind?"

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, how would I know? I only know they have ford a mature industrial chain.

"Master-Aunt, you don’t understand, do you?" Before the Master could reply, Wan Mingchuan quickly answered, "In today’s world, even Demon Beasts have different classes.

Tribes capable of producing strong Demon Cultivators have moved into the cities, while those without strong Demon Cultivators to shield them and whose population grows rapidly live in the wild. Even when a few Demon Cultivators appear occasionally, they can’t compete against the many Demon Cultivators who rely on Demon Cores to earn a living.

In short, the wealthy and powerful live well, whereas those without money or ability reproduce prolifically.

Moreover, relying purely on numbers to win, they don’t care for the young, letting them roam free. Those Demon Beasts beco increasingly feral, foolish, violent, and frequently harm the innocent.

There are just too many wild Demon Beasts, and natural treasures and Earth Treasures are easily wasted by them. As senior Xie would say, it’s all about resource grabbing. Basically, hunting Demon Beasts has beco Carefree City’s main industry because Demon Cultivators want to make money, control Demon Beast numbers, and seize resources."

"Tribes protected by powerful Demon Cultivators find it easier to awaken more Demon Cultivators, forming stronger alliances to seize more resources for nurturing the new generation;

while those Demon Beast populations without favorable conditions are displaced and rely on breeding as their only chance. But the more they propagate, the harder it is to nurture them, causing degenerations through generations with a lack of wisdom, sinking to the bottom unable to rise again." Qingniao quickly sorted out the simple logic.

Bai Yunqi added, "Of course, there are exceptions. Rumor has it that the richest business owner in Carefree City cos from a tribe that had nothing in the Wilderness.

He was exceptionally gifted and encountered nurous fortuitous events, single-handedly protecting his entire tribe, offering others a glimr of hope. Others had no expectations; they just kept breeding without needing talent or resources, hoping one day to give birth to a chosen one who could lead the tribe to greatness.

But alas... in today’s world, even the most talented are tightly suppressed by the resource-monopolizing elite. Trying to succeed through hard work alone, like the predecessors, is as hard as reaching the heavens."

"The Age of the End of Dharma indeed has thrown everything into chaos," Qingniao sighed softly, deeply grateful that fate had been kind to her.

At the very least, she had a God of Wealth for a brother to rely on, or else she might’ve accidentally ended up as food for so ferocious Demon Beast!
