The Bone Demon Sect started getting busy.
The itinerant rchants stayed for three days, and several of the iron smiths began entertaining guests, negotiating the trading of so goods.
anwhile.
The entire Ark City above was opened, allowing people to visit.
This prompted countless civilians and residents to eagerly rush to the Ark City above, experiencing the bustling human cities, lingering in the shops, shouting with excitent.
Even the iron smiths themselves were left speechless by the sight.
The major human powers are very business-savvy, and this place is a wholesale tropolis.
They even saw so big shots from the Sea Race here purchasing in bulk to resell for profit, acting as middlen.
This made a few iron smiths quite happy, and with the ergence of the temporary shop city, almost all the iron smiths gleefully went shopping, sightseeing, and happily playing around.
The streets were bustling with activity.
"Boss, how much is this?"
"This attire looks great."
"Oh, it's from the Other Shore Continent, no wonder it's called the Won's Continent. Its clothing culture has reached an unprecedented brilliance."
"And this soul lamp, it creates a sky full of stars, how beautiful!"
"I want to buy it to decorate my room."
"Hehe, how co there's even a cute little pet, a Bubble Dragon?"
"Ah, this is a failed immortal beast synthesis by the Xirong Divine Craftsman from back in the day? Although it can only advance to the Four Viscera Realm, it can use small bubbles for protection and even fly on them?"
...
A group of iron smiths was buying and buying, just like a shopping spree during a festival, making the rchants in countless shops smile broadly.
Who said the Sea Race is poor?
Here, they are very wealthy!
The human race in the Five-Body Realm and Four Viscera Realm have at most a few thousand magic coins, and if they spend a few hundred on shopping, it's already a big deal.
But here?
They have money and they're extravagant.
And it's not just a few of them—on average, they're all affluent.
Even Bian Shuang, upon hearing the news, showed a look of surprise and smiled:
"This Bone Demon Sect is indeed wealthy!"
"Their main source of inco is just the 'Coral Ball,' yet they're so rich... It's clear that they've shared the majority of the wealth with their people. The leadership of this Bone Demon Sect is truly generous... Looks like we'll earn a little this ti."
anwhile, in the shadows, Jiucai Rong gritted his teeth, furious.
Watching these outside rchants earn the hard-earned brick-moving money of our iron smiths, he was very upset.
But what can he do when his skills are inferior?
Even these iron smiths lack principles.
What's so intimidating about a big mall? Did they instantly defect?
Look, they even invested and took loans to buy a small pet from .
That Bubble Dragon...
It's probably a defective pet created during their synthesis business a century ago by a bunch of old folks, designed to deceive those girls.
Moreover, there's the sale of Scarecrows produced by the Yin Yang Rice Flower Sword.
Obviously.
A hundred years later, Scarecrows have beco a common pet, comparable to River Demons, with practically every household raising them, and they're being sold here now.
In the shadows, Night Mad Cultivator whispered, "What do you think we should do?"
"Leave it to ." Jiucai Rong shook his attire, "They're making money off us, and we're going to uproot them. We'll talk to the shop owners and invite them to open shops in our city, where we offer discounts."
Night Mad Cultivator looked speechless.
Isn't it unethical to steal from others?
But Bian Shuang, who's responsible for comrcial planning, surely has so brains?
Jiucai Rong, while poaching shops, got so information.
"Not good! Sir, those Bone Demons are shopping while trying to poach our allies from the shops, offering conditions like free rent, free utilities, and various discounts."
Bian Shuang: "???"
She's been with the Sea Race for so long and has never seen such a peculiar person trying to poach their own allies.
Even among humans, there hasn't been such a fierce person boarding her rchant ship to poach.
Just then, another servant ca with news:
"Not good, those Bone Demons have placed so weird 'Limited-Ti Instance' sign on our staircase."
Bian Shuang: "???"
What is this new thing called a limited-ti instance?
From the planning of the other city's shops and the level of public favor, it was clear they were ambitious.
Even if it were a specialty of human rchants trained for comrce, they might not achieve this level.
After all, these are the Sea Race, untad and uncivilized.
They've seen many Sea Race people along the way; the common folks are very untidy, having no toilets, doing their business openly in the streets, using hands for wiping, and then washing hands... These habits are hard to change.
But now, they saw a clean, organized, and civilized city.
"Never mind those poaching us, let's first see what sign they placed on my ark." She stood and walked toward the ark's entrance.
She saw a sign also placed in front of the staircase to the Ark.
[Limited-Ti Instance: Shop Ark.]
[Ti Limit: Three Days.]
[Instance Introduction: The rchant ship from the Other Shore Continent has brought various land specialties from the human Nine-State. Please trade with the rule-abiding human race and obey the rules on the ship.]
"Place it here, yes, yes, yes!" Immortal Aunt directed two Bone Demon iron smiths, fixing the sign.
Then Immortal Aunt took a large clock and hung it by the sign, starting the countdown.
Tick! Tick!
The clock ticked away.
Bian Shuang: "..."
Inserting plaques, aren't inscriptions the kind of thing placed before entering a tomb dungeon?
They were also a bit confused by the damn ritual feeling of this place.
Just as they suspected sothing might be wrong, they saw several Sea Race Bone Demon residents walking up the ladder towards the Ark and also noticed the plaque.
"Why are they inserting a plaque?"
"That's normal, I heard that's how tombstones are on the Human Race side."
"Huh?"
"On the Human Race side, when there's a tomb, they insert plaques, follow rules, it seems it's the sa here."
"Oh, this Ark is the ancestral tomb of the Human Race, many ancestors, no wonder they have plaques."
The residents talking passed by, Bian Shuang felt a bit silent.
Why do I feel like... it makes a certain sense.
Here is also an ancestral tomb, should we insert plaques too?
....
"They're having quite a lot of fun."
At the Bone Demon City Lord's Mansion, Ning Zheng smiled while watching.
Unlike the capitalist Jiucai Rong's anger, he thought it was quite good.
It's just so Magic Coins.
It's the iron smiths' own earnings from moving bricks, they spend it as they wish, whether the Manor earns or spends, it doesn't matter if it doesn't return to the Manor.
Iron smiths playing gas are just for fun.
A shopping event appearing before them isn't bad either.
At this mont, all the iron smiths of the Bone Demon Sect happily headed to the rchant caravan.
The Sea Race Holy Land began to draw them in, starting negotiations.
The Bone Demon Sect suddenly flourished, receiving two client connections, a bit busy.
But for a Major Sect, having a few clients is normal.
This is quite normal.
anwhile, Ning Zheng himself also has to handle possession operations in so Secret Realms, strategize on dungeon bosses, and quickly digest the Marriage Dress Town dungeon.
There are too many affairs.
But this is just typical.
Don't even ntion managing a country or a continent, even just one Holy Land has countless mountain peaks and departnts, the Sect Master has difficulty coordinating.
Even major companies have nurous departnts and businesses.
Why do so companies claim layoffs cutting to the main artery?
Is the boss incompetent?
The more direct reason is the company's size, too many branches, even the boss starts to get confused, only knowing to coordinate a few departnt leaders, unaware of who's truly working!
Now Ning Zheng has this feeling.
He's already a bit bewildered!
After all, he's not soone with business acun, he only cultivates in the courtyard under the Manor.
In other forces under these circumstances, when the boss loses coordination power... corruption, embezzlent breeds, even being sidelined, is inevitable.
But Ning Zheng is different, he's not afraid at all.
Local natives might sideline him, but how can players sideline him?
"I have a group of [Viewer Perspectives], acting as Jinyi Guards, catching corrupt officials... just moving a brick without permission, they'd be reported!"
"As for who in the departnts is truly working, I just check the forum to know."
Ruling through the "Forum", just like that.
But this also presents an issue.
The sword casting Manor's iron smith limit is 1000 people.
Now, 700 iron smiths have logged in, 300 iron smiths acting as [Viewer] Wandering Souls can switch to iron smith perspectives.
Theoretically, one person keeping watch on two should be manageable.
But these viewers mostly focus on popular player perspectives.
"The audience Patrol Envoy numbers should be increased."
Ning Zheng thought silently.
1000 people require ten million Qi Fortune Value.
Ning Zheng glanced at the newly accumulated Qi Fortune Value over the past days.
Current Qi Fortune Value: [4.21 million]
Decisively.
[-100,000 Qi Fortune Value]
[Server limit increased, 1000 iron smiths added.]
Ning Zheng thought a bit, then gently tapped again.
[-100,000 Qi Fortune Value]
[Server limit increased, 1000 iron smiths added.]
Now, 700 online iron smiths, 2300 viewer perspectives.
Should be enough for monitoring!
And now, his forces are getting on track, manpower is starting to get scarce, opening more player limits begins.
Ning Zheng is browsing the forum.
He's now clear about what the iron smiths an by ga guilds.
In the future, establishing guilds, moving into individual dungeons, forming Secret Realm competitions, a re seven hundred... clearly not enough.
"The numbers need to be increased."
He took a deep breath.
"But the basic principles of planning must be adhered to, can't just randomly open slots."
"Just as they finished strategizing Marriage Dress Town, I can offer them a four choices out of two."
