Dragon's Origin

Chapter 364: I'm Not Happy (Part 2)

No objections! Who would object? The Thousand Absolutes Land was bestowed upon Wang Sheng by the Emperor. If Wang Sheng were to turn around and collect gold coins from the Emperor, his reputation would be ruined.

Even if Wang Sheng were to waive this portion of the fees for the royal family, let alone if Wang Sheng were to have everyone share the burden for the Emperor, everyone would have to grit their teeth and accept it. This result is quite good; everyone unanimously approves.

"You've all had your say; now, let me express my thoughts," Wang Sheng finally said, reaching the moment of decision.

As soon as Wang Sheng spoke, everyone quieted down. Everything before had gone smoothly, but if Wang Sheng added more conditions on top of the previous ones, everyone would have a headache. No one dared to disturb Wang Sheng now, lest his mood sour and everyone suffer.

"First, let's talk about the quantity," Wang Sheng looked at everyone seriously, and amidst everyone's anticipation, he finally said, "In principle, I agree with this division of quantity, but I want to add two more parties."

Hearing Wang Sheng's agreement in principle, everyone immediately felt relieved. When Wang Sheng mentioned adding two more parties, everyone looked at Wang Sheng, waiting for his explanation.

"The City Lord of Worry-Free City has taken good care of me, so the first party is for the City Lord of Worry-Free City." Wang Sheng had already noticed that Worry-Free City hadn't sent a representative, probably because their territory was too small. Although it was considered a principality, everyone still regarded it as Worry-Free City.

"Of course, the rules are the same; the fees that should be paid must be paid." Wang Sheng looked around, "Does anyone object?"

Object to giving benefits to the City Lord of Worry-Free City? Who's tired of living? Worry-Free City is full of assassins. If any news here leaks out and people find out it was them who objected, wouldn't countless assassins swarm them?

"Marquis is truly virtuous, always repaying kindness," the Xia family representative said with a smile, giving a thumbs up. "Of course, we support this kind of good thing. Who would object?"

"Yes, indeed!" "That's right!" Voices of agreement rose one after another.

"The other party is Qian Shengyuan." This time, Wang Sheng didn't even explain the reason; he directly said a name and then waited for everyone to agree.

Whose is Qian Shengyuan? No need to ask; of course, it's Wang Sheng's, and also that Madam Mei'er by his side. This is Wang Sheng's own business. Wang Sheng agreed to let everyone open a camp; it's only normal that he wants to open one himself. If anyone jumped out to object at this time, they would be brain-dead and would definitely be collectively beaten to death by the attending representatives.

"Marquis is just joking; of course, there's no problem!"

"It should be so!"

…

Another series of agreements.

"Each party's camp, send your own experts to choose a location and build it." Wang Sheng said to everyone, "I believe that the top experts from each party can at least move freely around the periphery of the core area; I won't interfere with this. However, one thing: don't fight each other over positions inside. The area is large enough; there's no need to make it unpleasant, right? If any party makes the first move, don't blame me for being impolite; disqualification, no discussion!"

This rule was actually very welcome by everyone. This was the time to race against the clock to build camps and seize the Thousand Absolutes Land's benefits. Who wanted to waste time fighting with other families? Having this rule would avoid a lot of conflicts and trouble.

Perhaps everyone wanted good locations, but didn't Marquis Changsheng also say that the place was big enough and there were plenty of suitable locations? No need to be unpleasant. Wasting time was a small matter; being disqualified would leave them with no place to cry.

Another round of agreement.

"If you don't want to die, never enter the core area." Wang Sheng said another rule again: "Camps can only be outside the core area, and peak Legend experts must never release their aura. Of course, if any family thinks their experts can contend with certain humanoid monsters, then feel free to release your aura to provoke them."

This was not the first time Wang Sheng mentioned the aura of peak Legend experts, and everyone was no longer surprised. But everyone knew that it was best to listen to Wang Sheng regarding some of the rules inside the Thousand Absolutes Land; otherwise, you really wouldn't know how you died.

No one disagreed. Building camps was to cultivate their own experts, not to send them to their deaths.

"Oh, right, there's one person who makes me very unhappy." Speaking to this point, Wang Sheng seemed to remember something and said with a smile, "I think you all can guess who it is that makes me unhappy."

Need to guess? Everyone's gaze all turned to Baoqing Yutang's Zhu Shaodong. Originally, Zhu Shaodong had realized the situation and tried to minimize his presence. He hadn't even made a sound during this latter part, but he was still singled out by Wang Sheng.

Zhu Shaodong was about to collapse. He knew very well what the consequences would be for Wang Sheng saying this about him. If he had known this would happen, why would he have let himself be manipulated and listened to the arrangements of that guy behind the scenes to provoke Wang Sheng? Now it was all over; he was doomed!

"I know that what he said definitely wasn't the intention of Baoqing Yutang." Wang Sheng smiled again and said gently, "And I also know that the person who instructed him to do such a stupid thing is among you, perhaps not present, but definitely one of your people."

Scanning the representatives, Wang Sheng said casually, "Step forward yourself, five times the land purchase fee, and this matter will be considered to have never happened. Of course, if someone knows and points it out, and this Zhu Shaodong also admits it, then this family's land purchase fee will be waived. The one who is exposed will pay ten times the land purchase fee. If no one steps forward and no one knows who instructed him, then everyone will have to pay ten times the land purchase fee."

"Oh, right, if he dies before this matter is resolved, it's the same; everything will be multiplied tenfold." Wang Sheng seemed to remember something and added another layer of insurance.

Those with guilty consciences had just thought of killing him to silence him when Wang Sheng said this. Now, those forces that considered themselves innocent would definitely protect Zhu Shaodong tightly and would never let anyone succeed in silencing him.

"The reason why I'm being so unreasonable is just because I feel unhappy." Wang Sheng looked at the various faces of the parties and said very seriously, "I ask myself, shouldn't I be very easy to talk to? If you have requests, we sit down and talk, and there's always a result. I haven't refused to lead the way, and opening a camp is also negotiable. Anything can be laid out and discussed openly. We can discuss whether we agree or disagree."

Speaking to this point, Wang Sheng's voice suddenly rose: "But what is the point of using this kind of method? Provoking me? Or provoking yourselves?"

"If you do something wrong, you must be punished." Wang Sheng smiled casually, "Step forward yourself, five times. Be exposed by others, ten times, and the person who exposes you is free. If no result can be found, everyone pays ten times. I'm not kidding, or if no result can be found, the previous agreement will be canceled, and no one will be allowed to enter the Thousand Absolutes Land again."
