Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

written request for leave

Something feels off about what I've been writing lately, and I feel like I've gone off track.

Update on the 11th. I'll take a day off and reorganize the plot.

I originally wanted to write about conquering some tribes in the desert, then starting to transform Xumi and make money.

But as I wrote, I felt that the desert tribe was not so easy to defeat.

The more you think, the more biased you become.

The main plot has deviated a bit from what I had planned.

Let me rethink it.

Sorry, everyone.

The missing words will be added later.

Chapter 358: Pointless Sacrifice

The people of the Kalan tribe opened their eyes wide. They wanted to say something, but they couldn't open their mouths because of the suppression of the field force.

At the same time, as Wang Que spoke, the field force device gradually increased its strength.

Pfft!Pfft!

The soldiers on the battlefield knelt down one after another, as if they were pressed into the sand by invisible hands.

Their weapons fell out of their hands, their bodies trembled, and they couldn't even raise their heads.

Someone tried to scream, but the sound was crushed in the throat as soon as it came out, leaving only desperate whimpers.

Among them are warriors from the Cassia tribe.

They thought the Floating City was a middleman, but the Floating City didn't think so.

Lying in the sand, Cassia's pupils contracted violently. He finally understood that Wang Que did not bring them here to show their bravery.

Their bravery was nothing to Wang Que.

"But...why?"

Cassia didn't understand. Since our existence was worthless, why did they bring us here?

And... he watched us fight to this extent.

His eyes swept over the corpses around him, and he was filled with confusion.

His confusion would not interrupt Wang Que's actions.

Soon, more floating platforms fell.

Some guys were walking in the camp of the Kalan tribe with floating weapon modules.

Under the protection of the weapon module, they were not suppressed by the field force device.

Holding a rope in his hand, he started tying people up.

Compared to the previous conquest of the Cassia tribe, this time a bloody battle took place, and the field force device was not as shocking as the elemental cannon.

Therefore, the people of the Karan tribe may not be as easy to surrender as Cassia.

Wang Que didn't mind if they fought again. It didn't matter if all these desert people who were used to looting died.

But he couldn't joke about the safety of the Chamber of Commerce guys.

As the people of the Karan tribe were all tied up.

Cassia, covered in blood, also came to Wang Que: "Sir."

Wang Que looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Excuse me, sir, how much spoils can we get from this battle?" Cassia asked.

According to his idea, their tribe had sacrificed more than a hundred people, so they should be able to get a large amount of spoils.

As long as the gains are sufficient, the sacrifice is acceptable.

"Trophy?"

Wang Que looked at him with a hint of doubt: "If I hadn't intervened, you would have been surrounded and suppressed. Now you come to me for the spoils?"

Cassia suddenly showed a look of astonishment: "But we are doing this for you..."

"No, that's not it." Wang Que knew what the other party was going to say. "You mean you are fighting for me? No, you are fighting for the Cassia tribe, because you have a grudge against this tribe called...Kalan."

"It could also be for other battles within the tribe. You owe me money, so it's normal to pay me back by earning money from battles."

"But not for me."

Wang Que stood up and said, "Even the attack here was your suggestion. If you didn't have hatred in your heart, would we come here?"

"They won't come, because it would be easier to deal with other weaker tribes."

Wang Que looked at him and raised a finger: "However, I am a kind person. Do those of you who go out to join the Gilded Brigade receive compensation if you die in battle?"

Cassia was stunned for a moment, and answered subconsciously: "Yes, the family will get some daily necessities."

"Well, that's fine. The families of those who died in the battle will receive some of the compensation I give them."

Cassia: "This...we..."

He wanted to protest and talk about the sacrifices they made.

But looking at Wang Que's cold eyes, he really didn't dare to continue speaking, but the disappointment on his face was undoubtedly revealed.

It was completely different from the fighting spirit he had before the war.

This is the effect Wang Que wants.

Why do these people like to plunder?

Because real-time feedback is so great.

You earn money every time you grab it, and you will naturally like it.

Now Wang Que asked them to fight, but without giving them any spoils.

These people either become tired of war and eventually return to the most ordinary life.

Or they are war maniacs who keep fighting until they die.

Or... rebel against Wang Que and then be eliminated by Wang Que.

Eventually, the raiders in these tribes would disappear, either by changing careers or dying.

Then the children in these tribes can only receive education from Wang Que.

The values ​​will be closer to Wang Que.

What seems like a bloody battle is actually a battle that determines the educational rights of the next generation in the desert.

Unfortunately, Cassia couldn't understand it at all.

He felt lost, thinking that the battle was meaningless and that the tribe had not received the benefits it deserved.

And when he brought this news back to the Cassia tribal warriors, this feeling of disappointment began to spread.

"No loot?"

"how come?"

“But so many of us died!”

"Are we not brave enough?"

Cassia's warriors all looked puzzled.

They didn't understand why Wang Que didn't give them the spoils.

According to the rules of the desert, they rushed into the territory of the Kalan tribe and killed so many people, so they must have made some contributions.

It is only natural that a portion of the spoils should be given to them.

The soldiers' fighting spirit gradually declined.

Without sufficient positive feedback, the morale of these soldiers who fought for plunder dropped almost instantly.

If they had not received any reward in the past, they would have taken up swords and sought justice for themselves.

But now, the Liyue person in the floating city is too powerful.

The power in his hands is simply not something that people like him can resist.

Cassia also sat among the warriors with a somewhat depressed look on his face, his brows furrowed. He was still thinking about his previous communication with Wang Que.

What exactly are you fighting for...with your men?

He felt that everything Wang Que said to him was meaningful.

But he doesn't understand!

For the first time, Cassia wished so much that she could be one of the scholars in the House of Lords.

Perhaps they can understand what Boss Wang means.

……

Of course, the Karan tribe also received new news.

The Avenger did not distribute the spoils to the Cassia tribe.

This gave them a strange feeling in their hearts.

The other party did not seem to be a helper of his arch-enemy Cassia. On the contrary, Cassia was just his slave.

As the saying goes, it is miserable to be unlucky, but it will be much better if someone else is as unlucky as you.

The Avenger is what they call Wang Que.

Wang Que's declaration of justice is revenge against the legacy of the God-King.

They don't have much aversion to being conquered.

The desert tribes themselves are in a cycle of conquest and being conquered.

As long as it is not a bloody massacre or they are not rainforest people, their resistance will not be too strong.

And...if those trash like Cassia can become subordinates of this powerful Avenger, then...the warriors of the Kalan tribe can't too?

Soon, they got the news.

A man dressed in the clothes of a Money Chamber clerk came up to the prisoners and glanced at them indifferently.

After seeing these desert warriors getting a little scared, he spoke:

"According to the master's orders, all of you will be his slaves, but the master is merciful."

"You can atone for your sins."

"Warriors who have participated in the looting will be recruited and continue to fight against other looting tribes."

"Other adults and some able-bodied teenagers will be put under unified management and responsible for repairing the camp and other logistical work."

"Finally, young children and pregnant women who are no longer able to fight or work will be managed in a unified manner."

Announced an order similar to that of the Cassia tribe.

These orders have brought relief to the Karan tribesmen.

Fortunately, the other party did not order the abuse of prisoners and even seemed to be doing well.

In fact, some soldiers whose freedom was restricted just saw the guys from the Money Chamber of Commerce take out some medicine and distribute it to ordinary people who were injured in the previous battle.

Some people were also sharing some candies with the children.

This doesn't seem like something an invader would do.

It also made them less resistant to the Money Chamber of Commerce.

That's why he obeyed the waiter's orders and made the announcement obediently.

It is better to be conquered by a group of good people than to be conquered by your arch-enemy Cassia.

If Cassia conquered them, these adult men would basically have no chance of survival.
