Dragon's Origin

“Why didn’t I say it then?” The steward almost wanted to spit in Uncle Li’s face. I wanted to say it back then, but would you let me?

Unfortunately, Wang Sheng-style retorts are only for Wang Sheng’s use. Beat the steward to death, and he wouldn’t dare to be so disrespectful in front of the City Lord and Uncle Li.

Thinking about it now, the feeling of Wang Sheng saying “You also know the rules?” and then smashing a scroll over their heads was really exhilarating! I really want to pick up the tea set and slam it on Uncle Li’s head like Wang Sheng! But the steward doesn’t dare.

There’s no way, I can’t say it’s Uncle Li’s fault, right? The steward can only pitifully plan to take the blame himself. Damn it, being humiliated by Uncle Li, and I still have to take the blame for him, it’s really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, before the steward could admit his mistake, Uncle Li had already taken the initiative to admit his mistake: “I remember now, it was my fault, I didn’t let you speak at the time.”

“It’s good that you still have some shame.” The steward said in his heart. Of course, he only dared to imagine these words in his mind, not daring to say a single word.

“He has made a significant contribution to Worry-Free City, what contribution?” To be honest, Uncle Li’s face was a little red. Because of his judging by appearances, he suppressed a real red-badge killer. If other red-badge killers are dissatisfied because of this, it would be a huge trouble for Worry-Free City. Therefore, Uncle Li must find out why Wang Sheng can obtain two kinds of cultivation methods.

The young City Lord seemed a little helpless, sighed, and gestured towards the steward. The steward immediately explained to Uncle Li.

“Just from the bounties on the people killed by Lone Wolf, Worry-Free City has extracted nearly ten million gold coins in commissions.” The steward slowly began to count.

“Ten million gold coins is a lot, but it’s not enough to be a major contribution, right?” Uncle Li said somewhat forcefully.

“Lone Wolf opened the door to the Thousand Absolutes Ground. For a long time, people who wanted to enter the Thousand Absolutes Ground had to pass through Worry-Free City for transit and supplies. Worry-Free City earned tens of millions of gold coins in this regard.” The steward then listed the second item. Without mentioning anything else, just using the number of gold coins, it’s simple, clear, and easy to understand.

Uncle Li’s face has become serious. Someone who can bring tens of millions of gold coins to Worry-Free City can indeed barely be said to have made a major contribution.

“When Lone Wolf first came to Worry-Free City, he gave the City Lord a spice business that no one had thought of before.” The steward continued to count the benefits Wang Sheng brought with his fingers: “Just this business alone brings in no less than 150 million gold coins every year, and it’s every year.”

“Only gold coins?” Uncle Li’s face was becoming increasingly untenable. The more he understood, the more he realized the mistake he had made. Where would he put his old face?

“Lone Wolf also gave Worry-Free City a camp near the core of the Thousand Absolutes Ground, waiving the 20 million gold coin land purchase fee.” The steward was now speaking happily, making Uncle Li unable to step down, it was really delightful!

Not to mention the value of a camp near the core of the Thousand Absolutes Ground, how many experts can Worry-Free City train? In addition to gold coins, there are things that are more related to the foundation of Worry-Free City. If this doesn’t count as a major contribution, what does?

“In addition, Lone Wolf recently cooperated with Yu Bao Zhai and Worry-Free City in the brewing business.” The steward still said the most recent item regardless: “This business currently only has tens of millions of gold coins in profit, but in the next few years, it can be expected that the annual gold coin income will not be less than 200 million.”

“Also, just a few days ago, Lone Wolf personally ran to the core of the Thousand Absolutes Ground and drew a detailed map of the outer circle of the core of the Thousand Absolutes Ground, gave it to Worry-Free City for free, and entrusted Worry-Free City to sell it.” The steward also said what happened the previous two days: “Of course, Worry-Free City also earned some gold coins, but that ten million gold coins is already insignificant.”

When gold coins are starting to be calculated in hundreds of millions every year, even without other things, just gold coins alone are enough to be considered a major contribution.

Uncle Li is now a little restless. Don’t look at his cultivation as the highest in the City Lord’s Mansion, but when facing the City Lord, cultivation is obviously not enough to hold the ground. When reason cannot stand, no matter how strong the cultivation is, it is useless. Uncle Li is like this at the moment, clearly unable to step down.

“Uncle Li has been guarding the armory, working hard and making great contributions, it’s normal not to know the situation outside.” The City Lord finally opened his mouth, which can be regarded as a way out for Uncle Li: “Ignorance is no crime! This time is not a bad thing, at least it discovered the drawbacks of the armory, next, I’m afraid Uncle Li will have to work harder to rearrange the armory.”

“It’s my duty.” Uncle Li really benefited from it, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard the City Lord clear his mistakes. He is limited by his promise to guard the armory for Worry-Free City for a hundred years, and he doesn’t want to be unable to fulfill his promise because something happened to the armory.

After finishing talking about the armory, Uncle Li was about to leave when he suddenly thought of a question he had just overlooked, and hurriedly opened his mouth to ask the steward: “You said he knew the secret of Yuan Soul upgrading?”

“Yes, he sold this secret through Worry-Free City at that time.” The steward replied respectfully.

“Tell me about the situation at that time.” Uncle Li’s face became serious, urging the steward to describe the scene at that time.

The steward did not dare to neglect, and quickly told the process of Wang Sheng auctioning the secret of Yuan Soul upgrading that year. Hearing that Wang Sheng’s final upgrade secret was only because his Yuan Soul was originally an upgradable Yuan Soul, Uncle Li frowned directly.

“Did he really say that?” Uncle Li was very dissatisfied. How could such a person use such means to perfunctorily deal with all parties, without fear of being held accountable in the future? Impossible, Uncle Li stared at the steward, and earnestly exhorted: “What else did he say, don’t miss a single word.”

“What else did he say?” The steward frowned and frantically recalled the situation at that time, and finally remembered something, and hurriedly replied: “Oh right, he also said a joke at the beginning.” After saying that, he said Wang Sheng’s joke-like words at that time.

“Relying on unwavering faith, firmly believing that your Yuan Soul will definitely be upgraded?” Uncle Li suddenly smiled when he heard Wang Sheng’s joke: “This person is interesting, interesting! After I sort out the armory, I will go out to find him and meet him again!” After saying that, Uncle Li ignored the City Lord and the steward, and walked out laughing.

In the City Lord’s Mansion, the City Lord and the steward looked at each other, and they didn’t know what Uncle Li was laughing at.
