Chapter 29: Ancestor, I just have to work hard for eight hundred years
Although Xu Gu has lived in this world for two years, he spent most of his time as a demon cultivator in remote mountains. Understanding, of course, is far less than that of Huan Caiyi and others.
Especially in terms of common sense in life, for example, he had never heard that Zhaojiagou was that big before.
However, he still knows a lot about the unprofitable chamber of commerce.
The Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Tianxuan Continent. The forces behind it are complex and mysterious, and they control countless wealth. Any transaction can be completed with it.
As long as you have enough spirit stones, you can not only buy the magic weapon and fairy fruit, but you can even be the emperor of the Shang Dynasty for a day, have lunch with the Western Buddha, practice the avenue at night with the leader of the Hehuan Sect, and so on.
And if someone owes a debt to the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce, or if they are lucky enough to deliberately damage the property of the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce, then they will find that the thunder tribulation does not only attack the monks who are in the tribulation period.
It is rumored that the service tenet promoted by the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce at first was ‘If you don’t make money by doing business, just make friends’.
Later, there was so much money that it was impossible to hide it. Everyone saw that the merchants who were not making money would become rich, and they no longer believed in that slogan.
The No-Profit Chamber of Commerce has changed the service tenet it promotes to ‘don’t make the last bit of money’, which means to benefit customers and make less money for itself.
However, the speed at which a business that does not make money makes money is really too fast. They became so rich very quickly that everyone was scared. Everyone felt that the unprofitable chamber of commerce wanted to make them so that they only had a little money left.
Finally, the development speed of making no money is getting more and more alarming, and the service purposes proposed have become farts and have been seriously misunderstood by customers.
Out of frustration, they changed the slogan back to the original version, which was still 'If you don't make money in business, just make friends'.
However, the taste is completely different from the first.
No matter how the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce explains it, people all over the world firmly believe that it is absolutely impossible to make a penny by doing business with the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce, even for his peers, partners, or customers.
In Xu Gu's impression, the reason why the Devil's Cave was dilapidated and declining was closely related to the unprofitable merchants.
The most famous incident is that thousands of years ago, several demon ancestors went to the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce to buy a batch of new magic weapons in order to rob some treasures. Because they had no money, they chose not to borrow money. Make money from the Chamber of Commerce and repay it in installments.
In the end, the robbery went down in history as a great success.
Historically known as the Millennium Lingshi Robbery!
The demonic ancestors were very happy and excited. They never dreamed that they could be so successful and grab a huge amount of spiritual stones, which they felt they could never spend in their lifetime.
Then, after repaying the loans from the unprofitable chamber of commerce, the demonic forces belonging to several demonic ancestors declared bankruptcy.
“Click!”
A strange sound pulled Xu Gu back from his thoughts.
“It’s your turn to play cards!” Huan Caiyi urged. Before she played cards, she was still reluctant and wanted to drag Xu Gu to the deck to have fun, but now she is completely addicted.
While playing cards, he murmured excitedly: "Why have you never seen such a fun card before? Did you invent it, senior brother?"
Xu Gu hummed and nodded, but his eyes were not on the colorful clothes. Instead, in front of the flying boat, there was a group of people wearing golden robes, shining with golden light, like a huge golden crowd moving in pieces.
The sound just now was made by them.
They have expressionless faces, and the five dazzling characters of the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce are written on the gold clothes they wear.
These people are staff of the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce.
One of them walked out, holding a lamp-shaped magic weapon that shimmered with dim light, exuding a primitive and mysterious atmosphere, and illuminated it on the flying boat.
"This is..."
Among the two groups of people shaking hands and making peace, some people with little knowledge said hesitantly.
Not only were they hesitant, Xu Gu was also hesitant.
"They are assessing the damage." Huan Caiyi knew a lot about these things and explained to Xu Gu: "You can't fight on the flying boat. Otherwise, if you damage the flying boat, you will need to pay compensation.
“The lamp in their hands is a special secret treasure called the damage assessment lamp! Some damage that is invisible to the naked eye can be clearly seen with this light. ”
Xu Gu frowned slightly.
It is understandable that the flying boat needs compensation if it is damaged.
However, using a damage assessment lamp can see damage that is invisible to the naked eye. Why can't he understand this sentence?
Is damage invisible to the naked eye considered damage?
On the flying boat, some people were not surprised, while others were just as confused as Xu Gu.
The people on both sides of the previous fight also changed their expressions, and their expressions were a bit ugly.
After a while,
all the staff of the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce stopped what they were doing and said to the ancestors of the two parties:
"Physical damage A total of three hundred and seventy-eight, causing damage to the soul..., and causing psychological damage to the staff and passengers..."
A lot of crackling.
The compensation list alone is several meters long.
Many people on both sides were stunned on the spot, dumbfounded. How have they never seen such a battle before?
Finally, the results came out.
"You two only need to compensate a total of 18.7 million spirit stones. Should it be paid in cash, in installments, or in exchange for work?"
The person in charge of the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce said to the ancestors of both parties.
"You mean... 18.7 million? Is it ten thousand? Not a dollar?" someone hesitated.
"Yes, 18.7 million spiritual stones." The person in charge repeated it again.
“Whoa!”
As soon as this number came out, everyone on both sides was frightened. Some were angry and some were crying in despair.
They knew that if a battle occurred on or near the flying boat and caused damage, they would need to pay compensation. Therefore, they paid special attention and tried not to hurt the flying boat. But who would have thought that they would still have to pay for so many spiritual stones!
The expressions of the guests watching the show also changed. Some looked shocked and frightened, while others were not surprised and enjoyed themselves.
“We won’t pay compensation, what can you do to us?”
Both sides looked at the people behind them and felt that they were outnumbered, and they suddenly felt confident.
Boom!
Then, I saw the figures of several Taoist monks who transformed themselves into gods and a fused monk. Their bodies exuded pressure, covering the sky and the sun, and fell from the sky.
The two parties who had a big fight not long ago fell silent and looked extremely pale.
"It's okay, kids, as long as we are here, you won't be afraid even if the sky falls!"
Seeing this, the ancestors of both gods looked at each other and smiled, very relaxed, as if there was nothing at all Pay close attention to these powerful men from unprofitable chambers of commerce who fell from the sky.
They put their hands on their backs, looked up at the sky, had a strong aura, and said to their own people in high spirits:
"It's just a small amount of money, ancestor, I just have to be a slave in the mines for eight hundred years."
Speaking of the two Taoist friends who had just met, they were escorted out of the flying boat by people from the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce. , went to the nearby Lingshi Mine of the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce.
“Wow!”
The troops on both sides were dumbfounded for a while, and then cried even harder.
How many eight hundred years can a life in the transformation stage last?
Whose god-forming ancestor is not free and easy, but works as a slave in a Lingshi mine and has to mine for eight hundred years?
"We are not convinced and we want to appeal! Go to the court to sue your unprofitable chamber of commerce!" Some people on both sides were not convinced and shouted.
"Don't!" The elders of both parties changed their expressions and quickly stopped: "We don't want to lose a few more ancestors!"
Appeal? You may win, but you will definitely lose money!
At that time, their family may be bankrupted by the unprofitable chamber of commerce! Maybe some ancestors will be asked to condescend to work as slaves in the mines, and they will be paid for their work.
Some people who had never seen the world were so frightened by this scene that they turned pale and quickly took their hands away from the table, not even daring to lean on their chairs for fear of causing damage to the flying boat.
“So domineering.” Xu Gu was immersed in horror, his eyes fiery.
This unprofitable chamber of commerce is so magical.
This is the real magic way.
Compared with it, the Demon Cave is really a slum!
Seriously, this doesn't make money for the Chamber of Commerce, which is very much to his liking.
Xu Gu was already thinking that when he became the Demon Lord in the future and led the Demonic Path to glory, he might be able to acquire the unprofitable Chamber of Commerce.
"Don't worry, the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce is still very authentic. As long as you don't fight on the flying boat and just use it normally, even if the flying boat is dismantled, it will be fine." Seeing Xu Gu's shock, Huan Caiyi said, Thinking that Xu Gu was frightened, he expressed relief.
"So authentic? That's a pity." Xu Gu shook his head, feeling disappointed.
“Huh?” Huan Caiyi said in surprise, isn’t this a good thing? Why are you so disappointed?
