Chapter 446: Xu Que’s Method of Making Money

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xu Que had found a way—he had figured out an excellent method through which he could earn Spirit Stones very quickly.

"Young lady, please give me a few days so that I can go home and fetch some more Spirit Stones. Is that okay for you?" Xu Que looked at the lady in court dress with smile.

The lady was slightly surprised, then she said hurriedly, "Lord Wang, please wait a moment. I will ask for instructions from my superior."

After saying that, she walked out of the private room and consulted some of the big shots of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce.

Hearing Xu Que’s words, the rest of the audience was greatly shocked.

"Does he really have that many Spirit Stones at home?"

"Holy shit! I thought he was bragging. I never expected it to be real. He will go home to get more Spirit Stones!"

"I don’t think so. Seeing his personality, I’m guessing that he is planning to run away."

"Gasp! That is possible!"

All the other spectators were doubtful, for none of them thought that Xu Que was trustworthy.

After consulting her superior, the lady in the court dress returned to Xu Que and said with a faint smile, "Lord Wang, you have rendered a large number of Spirit Stones, breaking the highest record of all previous auctions held by the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, you are our VIP, so we will grant you seven days to collect the Spirit Stones!"

Hearing that, the audience was dumbfounded again.

Damn! The Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce has lost its mind.

They agreed to give him time to collect the Spirit Stones; and the time is seven days!

Aren’t they worried about the possibility of this guy just running away?

Suddenly, the lady in the court dress added, "Lord Wang, for safety reasons, over the period of these seven days, the auction items you have won will be kept by the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce. Will that be okay with you?"

"No problem! Then it’s a deal!" Xu Que agreed immediately by nodding his head joyfully.

For him, those auction items were nothing. If those items had not been related to the Water Empress, he would never had made bids for them.

Therefore, there was no difference between keeping those items in the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce and bringing them with him. Besides, he could still retrieve them from the Chamber of Commerce later.

All the people nodded their heads in satisfaction to show their approval for the decision of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce. If Xu Que chose to run away, what he lost would not only include the auction items, but also the over five billion Spirit Stones he had already given them before.

However, the old man in the room next to Xu Que’s was so confused and depressed that he was about to spit blood.

Finally, the auction had finished. He had planned to kill Xu Que and rob him of his treasures when he left the chamber. He had not expected the auction items to be stored at the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce for the time being!

Damn! How can I rob him now?

The old man was very angry, but he could do nothing. He also couldn’t provide over 2 billion Spirit Stones to ’help’ Xu Que pay off the residual balance.

At last, he made the tough decision to stay and wait to kill Xu Que after seven days had passed.

However, Xu Que had neglected the existence of the old man and had long forgotten him. Now he was busy preparing his money-making plan.

He summoned the System, and purchased many appliances and materials. He was planning to do big business here that would astonish the whole world!

"Lord Wang, in that case, I will be waiting for your return here. Please be assured that we will take good care of your items," said the lady with a smile.

"Yep," Xu Que replied and said nothing more. Then he turned around and ran towards the gate of the building with a land deed in his hands.

Everyone was surprised by his sudden change of behavior.

"What’s going on? What is he going to do?"

"Is he really going home to fetch more Spirit Stones?"

"But where is his home? Does he really need seven days? It seems that he is not a resident of the Water Nation."

"I don’t care where his hometown is. If he fails to provide 2.6 billion Spirit Stones in seven days, he will become a laughing stock!"

"Haha, I am looking forward to seeing that."

...

After Xu Que’s departure, people mustered up their courage and started to talk about him.

Many people didn’t believe that Xu Que could bring back over two billion Spirit Stones. After all, the total sum was too large to be easily collected in such a short amount of time.

Also, a lot of people were very curious about the destination of Xu Que. They even left the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce to follow him.

Actually, he didn’t need to be in such a hurry if he was only planning to go home. With the teleportation arrays, he could make a round trip through the five nations within seven days.

"What? Is he running in the wrong direction? This is not the way towards the teleportation array!" Someone realised that something was wrong after following Xu Que for a while.

Xu Que was not heading for the teleportation array, but for the outskirts of the market area.

He kept dashing forwards excitedly. Finally, he stopped before the store, Zhai Bao Ge.

This store had once sold spells. Several days ago, it had been bought by Xu Que for eight million Spirit Stones. Its inventory of dozens of spells had been used up by Xu Que. Now, there was only an empty store left.

Xu Que had already forgotten about this store. Just now when he had been checking the System, he had stumbled upon a land deed. A thought had come to mind. He was now planning to open his shop to do business.

Given his personality, he was a person who would take action whenever a thought came to mind. Therefore, he had left the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce and dashed right over towards this store. Now he was about to us all his skills to renovate the store.

"What is he going to do? Why is he standing there? Is that the store of General Zhuge?" Seeing that Xu Que had stopped, one of the people trailing him was quite surprised.

"Are you stupid? Of course this is the store of General Zhuge. Do you really think he is Wang Sicong? It is certain that General Zhuge is disguising himself as that Wang Sicong!" someone said, rolling their eyes.

The people who had followed Xu Que stopped, and kept watching him from afar.

After pondering for a while, Xu Que had figured out how to renovate this store. Then he took out a message delivering paper from the System.

Poof!

Overflowing with spiritual Qi, the message delivering paper ignited immediately.

Xu Que shouted, "Attention, Troops of the Snow City! Come immediately to Zhai Bao Ge without Buttface!"

Whoosh!

The message delivering paper turned into a beam of light instantly, flying towards the Royal Palace with Xu Que’s message.

After that, Xu Que started to wander around the other stores in the vicinity of the Zhai Bao Ge.

With his hands behind his back, Xu Que looked at those stores cryptically, as if he was thinking of something.

The stores next to Zhai Bao Ge sold cloth and magical artifacts. Being watched by Xu Que, the shop owners began to feel afraid.

"What’s going on? Who is this guy?"

"Why is he wandering around outside our store?"

"Look at his expression! I have a bad feeling about this."

"Oh, look! He has come into our store!" someone yelled in surprise, realizing that Xu Que had entered their store.

It was a store of magical artifacts. After a short period of observation, Xu Que decided that the business of this store was just so-so.

If he planned to open his store, he definitely needed to expand it. Zhai Bao Ge was not big enough.

"Sir, what do you want to buy?" the shopkeeper asked as he walked to greet Xu Que.

Squinting his eyes, Xu Que smiled. "I want to buy your store!"

"What?" The shopkeeper was immediately surprised.

"I want to buy this store. Please state your price," Xu Que replied.

After coming to his senses, the shopkeeper said with a wry smile, "This...this..."

"Stop nagging! I am planning to do business. See, Zhai Bao Ge next-door is mine. I want you to sell your store to me so that I can connect the two stores by pulling down the walls. Then I will start my business. Of course, you can also become a shareholder of my store!"

"Ah?" The shopkeeper was confused again.

A shareholder? What does that mean?

Xu Que raised his brows and explained. "To be a shareholder, you need to donate your store to me. When I make money by doing business, you can share in my profit! Of course, when our business grows in future, we can open some other branches with the profits we have made. In this way, one store will become two stores, two stores will become four stores, and four stores will become eight stores! After having eight stores, we can go public! Then we can collect money from the stock market! After that, we can make money by trading in the stock market and making spin-offs to our franchise. By the time that happens, you will be so wealthy that you will be smiling in your dreams!"
