...
In the blink of an eye, it was already early May.
The weather was gradually getting hotter, and the wheat was at the stage of grain filling. Whether this season’s wheat crop would have a good harvest depended on this month.
It had been a full three months since the confrontation between the Wang Family and the Jiaolong Gang at the Dingpu Ferry. Thanks to the establishnt of the Flying Chariot system, the discussion around this incident spread continuously from the Changning Guard to the outside, significantly increasing the Wang Family’s prestige throughout Longzuo County.
In the words of Wang Shouzhe on Earth, the Changning Wang Family had beco a hot topic in Longzuo County.
However, the heat would eventually dissipate.
After a few months, the Wang Family’s days had long returned to peace, continuing to develop rapidly in silence.
"System Artifact Spirit."
Inside the side hall of Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard.
As the weather grew hotter, the curtains in the room had been replaced with gauze curtains. The cyan color swayed with the wind, adding a touch of coolness to the room.
Over the years, Wang Shouzhe’s courtyard hadn’t changed much. It had only added a few valuable furnishings at Ancestor Longyan’s strong request but remained comfortable as the main the.
Wang Shouzhe sat in a comfortable reclining chair made of Spirit Wood, his eyes half-squinted, fingers tapping on the armrest, as if thinking about sothing.
"Ding dong~ Artifact Spirit Xiaoxue, at your service, Master."
A two-dinsional beautiful girl projection appeared in front of Wang Shouzhe. She had long "slender" legs, exaggerated proportions, big eyes, snow-colored long hair, and cat ears...
As for why the na was Xiaoxue? It was because her original form was the Blood Nest Spirit, and "Xue" didn’t sound nice, so she simply changed it to "Xiaoxue."
Wang Shouzhe was quite satisfied with her image and voice; after all, he spent a lot of ti through the system’s modeling panel to craft this appearance.
Every ti he saw Artifact Spirit Xiaoxue, Wang Shouzhe felt as if he had reclaid lost youth.
"How much cash can our Wang Family mobilize?" Wang Shouzhe asked casually.
"Ding dong, reporting to the Master, five million Qian Gold can be mobilized." Artifact Spirit Xiaoxue’s voice was especially sweet and lodious to Wang Shouzhe.
"Only five million Qian Gold?" Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly, "I rember last year, the clan’s net annual revenue reached more than three million."
"Ding dong~~ Reporting to the Master, the clan’s expenses are really too high. The living and cultivation resources for all clan mbers, Household Generals, and household servants, and Spiritual Food alone amounted to one hundred and twenty thousand. We’ve invested sixty thousand Qian Gold into the Shouda Trading Company and haven’t recouped it yet. Land developnt, water projects, and road planning in Ping’an Town also cost more than twenty thousand, not to ntion intelligence group expenses, payroll, social interactions..." Artifact Spirit Xiaoxue explained.
"Alright, I know the expenses are high," Wang Shouzhe waved his hand to shut her up, "Display the main page of the system list." Right now, the Wang Family was indeed making a lot of money, but since many clan mbers are trained to the limit, the expenses are enormous.
Especially on Ancestor Longyan’s side, to cultivate a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator for the family as soon as possible, the resources invested annually are incredibly lavish. Tier Three and Tier Four Spirit Flesh were supplied generously, and occasionally, they would purchase Tier Five Spirit Beast Flesh at a high price for her blood vitality.
The Great Gathering Spirit Pills, valued at three to four thousand Qian Gold each, Ancestor Longyan consud one every ten days! This expenditure alone exceeded one hundred thousand Qian Gold. Each day, they consud one to two Spirit Stones, which was another fifty to sixty thousand Qian Gold expense.
Plus so other expenditures.
In total, Ancestor Longyan, who was just at the early stage of the Celestial Human Realm, consud more than two hundred thousand annually in cultivation expenses. It far exceeded the spending of ordinary Celestial Human Realm cultivators and was even higher than the specifications for the Celestial Pride direct disciples of the Academies, a level of extravagance Faang You’an would weep at...
The benefit was that Ancestor Longyan’s cultivation level soared with a swish, and it was estimated that it wouldn’t take more than fifteen years to reach the middle stage of the Celestial Human Realm.
Wang Shouzhe certainly wanted to speed up Ancestor Longyan’s advancent, but with such consumption now, it had already reached the extre of diminishing marginal returns, and more resources wouldn’t make it faster.
Setting aside idle talk for the mont.
As Wang Shouzhe’s voice trailed off.
The clean and concise main interface of the system was projected in front of him.
