The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

On the way there, Lu Changfeng immediately consulted a fortune teller.

According to the divination results, the Gao family is indeed eyeing the market, while Wang Mang's side is merely a side project.

Upon seeing this, Lu Changfeng immediately relaxed considerably.

As long as it's not a direct attack on Wang Mang's side, it'll be fine. Otherwise, a mere Qi Refining cultivator like him really wouldn't be able to handle the Gao family.

However, in his opinion, this furniture deal wouldn't earn him any spirit stones, so it would be better to just sell it all to the Gao family.

Wang Mang currently receives a dividend of around 120,000 coins annually, of which only 30,000 comes from furniture contributions, with the remainder provided by medicine packets.

Even if the furniture is cut down, you won't end up with much less.

Most importantly, he now has a second business, the Lu Family Bus Station. According to the agreement, 30% of the spirit stones earned each month are to be distributed as dividends, and he owns 60% of the shares. He receives about 100,000 spirit stones every month.

This adds up to 120 million in-game currency points over the year, so losing a few tens of thousands is nothing!

However, this matter ultimately depends on Wang Mang's own thoughts.

Before long, he met Wang Mang, who was modifying the puppet.

"Hey, busy at work! How's the puppet modification coming along?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mang put down what he was holding, then looked at Lu Changfeng with a smug expression.

"Hehehe, that modification was absolutely amazing! Based on your previous suggestions, these puppets can now replace ordinary workers on the assembly line!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng was greatly shocked.

"Holy crap, let me see!"

Before long, Wang Mang brought Lu Changfeng into the factory. After inserting spirit stones and pressing a button, the entire production line and the puppets beside it immediately began to move.

He took a closer look and had to admit, it had the feel of a sweatshop from before he time-traveled.

After inspecting the finished furniture, Lu Changfeng expressed his approval.

"Okay, okay, stop now!"

Wang Mang had already finished the furniture production; if it weren't for showcasing it to himself, the production line wouldn't have started until the second half of the year.

After tinkering for a while, Wang Mang looked smug.

"How about that? Aren't I awesome!"

What else could he say? He could only nod in agreement with Wang Mang, the inventor.

"Awesome, awesome!"

After touring other aspects of the place, Lu Changfeng explained the reason for his visit and shared his insights.

However, upon hearing this, Wang Mang frowned.

It wasn't that he didn't believe Lu Changfeng's words; it was mainly because he had built his business on furniture, and he had grown attached to it after experiencing all the ups and downs along the way.

"I'm a little reluctant to part with it!"

As he spoke, he patted the assembly line in front of him.

He was born from my own hands, yet now I'm selling him.

But he also knew that Lu Changfeng was right; the profits from furniture were indeed negligible compared to the profits from a fully automatic alchemy furnace.

Seeing him like this, Lu Changfeng felt the same way. After all, a large part of his current cultivation level came from this.

But you should do the right thing at the right time; the times won't stop for you.

Suddenly an idea came to him.

This thing has been a great help to me, so I'll build a museum for it someday! Just think of it as a unique kind of figurine!

The thought of Wang Mang having to charge admission to see his things filled him with excitement.

He then patted Wang Mang on the shoulder with righteous indignation.

"Don't worry, give me these machines, and I'll make sure they're safe and sound for you!"

"You can just pay the entrance fee when you visit!"

Wang Mang was immediately bewildered by Lu Changfeng's approach.

"What's the ticket price?"

Then Lu Changfeng briefly explained the museum incident. After listening, he was completely dumbfounded, then pointed at the machine in front of him with a shocked expression.

"What? You mean I'll have to pay you spirit stones to access my things from now on?"

Wang Mang bared his teeth and tried to bite, but with his mere Qi Refining stage cultivation, it was no wonder he couldn't even manage to bite!

After being led astray by Lu Changfeng, he finally stopped talking.

"Well, this is fine too!"

"But you'd better keep this safe for me, or I'll have my son beat you up!"

Now it was Lu Changfeng's turn to be surprised.

"Son? When did you have a son?"

Snapped!

Wang Mang rubbed his forehead.

"My wedding was last year, it's June now, the baby must have been born long ago!"

Lu Changfeng was greatly shocked.

"What?! You've already had the baby and you didn't even tell me!"

"Are we still brothers?"

"You have to treat me to ten meals. If you don't, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Wang Mang was greatly alarmed, and then immediately turned the red temperature up.

"You're talking nonsense. I told you, but all you were thinking about was collecting the corpse and stuff."

"You forgot? How can you blame me?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, it seems this guy did mention something about children, but I was busy with a big order at the time and forgot about it.

He quickly started laughing.

"Ahem, didn't I forget?"

"Come on, come on, we absolutely have to see your son properly today!"

Wang Mang did not refuse, since Lu Changfeng was currently the most successful person in their circle.

Lu Changfeng was able to handle such a dangerous situation as Dawn before. If he can let his child see more of these things, wouldn't that provide him with a powerful backer?

When the two arrived at Wang Mang's small house, Lu Changfeng also saw his little nose.

"Wow, this little thing is really unique!"

"It's a pity, you take after your father a bit, you're not good-looking!"

Immediately, Kang Qing, who was next to Wang Mang, covered her mouth and laughed, but Wang Mang's face flushed.

"Brother Lu, what nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean you inherited my looks and aren't good-looking?!"

"Am I not handsome?"

He even flashed a confident smile as he spoke, but Lu Changfeng didn't even glance at him.

"Come on, lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife!"

"By the way, what's this kid's name?"

Upon hearing the name, Wang Mang immediately became proud.

"Hmph, I've been thinking about this name for a long time!"

"With my help, my son will surely soar to great heights!"

"That's why he's called Wang Teng!"

puff!

Upon hearing this name, Lu Changfeng immediately spat out his drink.

"What? Wang Teng, are you sure?"

Wang Teng's name is no less impressive than Wang Mang's. Could it be that this guy also has the potential to become an emperor?

"That's right, that's the name!"

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng didn't say anything more. Let the name be the name. Maybe he was just overthinking it!

He immediately took out a jade slip from his pocket.

"Alright, now that we've seen him, let's give him a small gift!"

"This thing is a magical artifact I crafted myself; it can withstand a Foundation Establishment cultivator for half an hour."

At the same time, he silently added in his mind, "If you took my stuff, you'd better work hard for me from now on!"

We need to nurture workers from a young age to give them peace of mind!

But Wang Mang and his group were terrified; a magical artifact capable of blocking a Foundation Establishment cultivator for half an hour!

This one jade slip is more expensive than their entire factory!

The two tried to refuse, but Lu Changfeng insisted they accept it.

The final result was not unexpected. After discussing it, the couple decided that if there was a real opportunity in the future, they would be willing to sell the furniture business.
