Chapter 29: Forefather, I just need to do hard labor for years. Although Xu Gu has lived in this world for two years, he has spent most of his time practicing magic in remote mountain areas. His understanding of this world is certainly far less than that of Huan Caiyi and others. Especially in terms of common sense, for example, he had never heard that Zhaojiagou was so big before. However, he still has a better understanding of the unprofitable chamber of commerce. The Not Profitable Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Tianxuan Continent. The forces behind it are complex and mysterious, and the wealth it controls is inexhaustible. Any transaction can be completed with it. As long as you have enough spirit stones, you can not only buy magical weapons and immortal fruits, but you can even be the emperor of the Shang Dynasty for a day, have lunch with the Western Buddha, practice Taoism at night with the leader of the Hehuan Sect, and so on. However, if someone owes a debt to the unprofitable Chamber of Commerce, or if someone is hoping for a lucky break and deliberately damages the property of the unprofitable Chamber of Commerce, then they will find that the thunder tribulation does not only strike the cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Rumor has it that the service tenet initially promoted by the Not-Profitable Chamber of Commerce was "Doing business doesn't make money, but making friends is." Later, they made so much money that they couldn't hide it anymore. Seeing that the non-profitable Chamber of Commerce had become rich, everyone no longer believed in that slogan. The Chamber of Commerce that does not make money changed its service tenet to "not making the last bit of money", meaning to give benefits to customers and make less money for itself. However, the speed at which the No-profit Chamber of Commerce made money was too fast. Soon, they became so rich that everyone was scared. Everyone thought that the No-profit Chamber of Commerce wanted to make money from them until they had only a little money left.
In the end, the speed of development became more and more alarming, and the service purpose proposed became nonsense and was seriously misunderstood by customers. Out of helplessness, they changed the slogan back to the original version, which is still "If business doesn't make money, make friends." However, the taste is completely different from the original one. No matter how the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce explains, everyone in the world firmly believes that it is impossible to make a penny by doing business with the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce, even if they are his colleagues, partners, or customers. In Xu Gu's impression, the reason why the Demon Cave became dilapidated and declined has a lot to do with the unprofitable Chamber of Commerce. The most famous incident was that thousands of years ago, several demon ancestors went to the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce to buy a batch of new magic weapons in order to rob some treasures. Because they had no money, they chose to borrow from the Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce and repay it in installments. In the end, the robbery went down in history as a huge success. It is known in history as the Millennium Spirit Stone Robbery! Those demonic ancestors were originally very happy and excited. They had never dreamed that they could snatch such a huge amount of spirit stones so easily. They felt that they would never be able to spend them all in their lifetime. Then, after paying off the loan to the unprofitable Chamber of Commerce, the demonic forces that several demonic ancestors belonged to declared bankruptcy. "Crack!" A strange sound brought Xu Gu back to his senses. "It's your turn to play cards!" Huan Caiyi urged. Before she played cards, she was very reluctant and wanted to drag Xu Gu to the deck to have fun, but now she is completely addicted. While playing cards, he muttered excitedly: "How come I have never seen such fun cards before? Did you invent them, brother?" Xu Gu nodded, but his eyes were not on Huancai Yi, but on the group of people in front of the flying boat, wearing golden robes, shining with golden light, like huge moving pieces of gold. The sound just now was made by them. They had blank expressions on their faces, and on their golden clothes were five dazzling characters written in large letters: "Unprofitable Chamber of Commerce". These people are staff members of the Chamber of Commerce which does not make money. A man walked out from among them, holding a lamp-shaped magical instrument that flickered with a dim light and exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, and shone it on the flying boat. "This is……"
Among the two groups that shook hands and made peace, there was a less knowledgeable person who spoke hesitantly. Not only were they hesitant, Xu Gu was also hesitant. "They are assessing the damage." Huan Caiyi was quite familiar with this, and explained to Xu Gu, "You can't fight on a flying boat, otherwise, if you damage the flying boat, you will need to pay compensation. "The lamps in their hands are special secret treasures called damage assessment lamps! Some damage that cannot be seen by the naked eye can be clearly seen with this lamp." Xu Gu frowned slightly. It is understandable that compensation is required for damaging the flying boat. But, why didn’t he understand that a damage assessment light could reveal damage that was invisible to the naked eye? Is damage that is invisible to the naked eye considered damage? On the flying boat, some people were not surprised, while others were as confused as Xu Gu. The two sides of the fight also changed color and looked a little ugly. After a while, All the staff of the unprofitable chamber of commerce stopped their work and said to the ancestors of the two groups: "There are 378 physical injuries in total, 378 spiritual injuries in total..., and 378 psychological injuries to the staff and passengers..." A lot of crackling. The compensation list alone is several meters long. Many people on both sides were stunned. They had never seen such a scene before! Finally, the results came out. "You two parties only need to pay a total of million spirit stones. Do you want to pay in cash, in installments, or in exchange for work?" The head of the unprofitable Chamber of Commerce said to the ancestors of both sides. "You mean... million? Ten thousand? Not 100,000?" someone asked hesitantly. "Yes, million spirit stones." The person in charge repeated it again. "Shh!" When this number came out, people from both sides were shocked. Some were angry and furious, while others cried in despair. They knew that if a fight broke out on or near a flying boat and caused damage, compensation would be required, so they were particularly careful to avoid damaging the flying boat. But who could have imagined that they would still have to pay so many spirit stones as compensation! The guests watching the show also had changing expressions. Some looked shocked and frightened, while others were used to it and just enjoyed it. "If we don't pay, what can you do to us?" The people on both sides looked at the people behind them and felt that they were outnumbered and had more power, so they immediately felt more confident. Boom! Then, several fellow Taoists who had reached the state of incarnation and a cultivator who had reached the state of integration appeared, with powerful auras emanating from them, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, and descending from the sky. The two parties who had fought each other not long ago fell silent and their faces turned extremely pale. "It's okay, kids. With us here, we won't be afraid even if the sky falls!" Upon seeing this, the ancestors of both sides smiled at each other, looking very relaxed, as if they did not take these powerful men from the unprofitable Chamber of Commerce who descended from the sky seriously at all.
They put their hands behind their backs, looked up at the sky with pride, and spoke to their people with a strong aura and high spirits: "It's just a small amount of money. As for me, I will just be a miner for 800 years." As they were talking, the two fellow Taoists who had just met were escorted by the people from the No-Money Chamber of Commerce off the flying boat and headed for the nearby spirit stone mine of the No-Money Chamber of Commerce. "Wow!" The people on both sides were stunned at first, and then they cried even harder. How many eight hundred years can a person in the Spirit Transformation Stage live? Whose ancestor who has attained the state of transformation of spirits does not live freely and at ease, ruling a region, but works as a miner in a spirit stone mine, mining for eight hundred years. "We are not satisfied. We want to appeal! We will go to the court to sue your Chamber of Commerce for not making money!" Some people on both sides were dissatisfied and shouted. “Don’t do that!” The elders of both parties changed their expressions and hurriedly stopped him: “We don’t want to lose a few more ancestors!” Appeal? You might win, but you will definitely lose money! By then, their family might be bankrupted by the unprofitable Chamber of Commerce! Maybe they would have to ask a few ancestors to condescend to be miners and work in exchange for wages. Some people who had never seen the world were frightened by this scene and turned pale. They quickly took their hands off the table and didn't even dare to lean on the chair for fear of causing damage to the flying boat. "So domineering." Xu Gu was immersed in horror, his eyes burning with fire. This unprofitable chamber of commerce is quite evil. This is the real way of magic. Compared with it, the devil's cave is just a slum! To be honest, this unprofitable chamber of commerce was very much to his liking. Xu Gu was already thinking in his mind that when he became the Demon Lord in the future and led the magic path to glory, perhaps he could take over the unprofitable Chamber of Commerce. "Don't worry. A non-profit Chamber of Commerce is still very honest. As long as you don't fight on the flying boat and just use it normally, it will be fine even if you dismantle the flying boat." When Huan Caiyi saw Xu Gu's scream in horror, she thought Xu Gu was frightened and spoke to comfort him. "So authentic? That's a pity." Xu Gu shook his head, feeling disappointed. "Ah?" Huan Caiyi was surprised. Isn't this a good thing? Why is she so disappointed? (End of this chapter)
