Chapter 597: Good Money

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

These words left Wang Mang speechless. This fellow was really addicted to pretending!

Thinking this, Wang Mang said, “How about this? An Lan, I think that Qingmu City isn’t a bad to rule over, so why don’t you help me kill all the Tier 5 experts so we can take over Qingmu City together?”

After hearing Wang Mang’s words, An Lan, who had been pretending to be cool, was left speechless. In fact, he was even a little angry and embarrassed.

At the same time, the system’s voice rang out.

[Ding! An Lan is very dissatisfied with the host’s behavior. Loyalty-10, Current Loyalty Value: 75!]

After hearing this, Wang Mang gasped. An offhand comment caused the loss of that many loyalty points?

Realizing this, Wang Mang’s forehead began to sweat profusely.

He had no doubt that if he were to continue down this line of conversation, An Lan would probably abandon him.

At this thought, Wang Mang looked at An Lan, whose expression was a little stiff. He smiled and said, “Haha, 1 was just joking. Don’t take it seriously.”

Hearing this, An Lan’s expression eased up a lot, and he said confidently, “This isn’t a difficult task, my lord. An Lan is willing to sweep away all obstacles for my lord and kill all Tier 5 experts!”

An Lan started bragging again.

Wang Mang really did not have the strength to complain, so he simply said, “Don’t be rash, An Lan. Take it slow.”

“How about this? An Lan, 1 have a subordinate in the Chen family who wants to compete for candidacy as family head. However, I need a Type 5 expert to join the Chen family and support my subordinate.”

“An Lan, if you really want to help me, you can join the Chen family first.”

After hearing Wang Mang’s words, An Lan said confidently, “Don’t worry, Master. It’s just a small matter.”

Only then did Wang Mang heave a sigh of relief. This fellow had finally agreed.

At this moment, the system’s voice rang out again.

[Ding! An Lan is very satisfied with the host’s amiable attitude. Loyalty +5, Current Loyalty Value: 80!]

Wang Mang was speechless.

He finally realized that this fellow could be coaxed, but not forced. He just had to go with the flow when the other party was putting on an act.

Otherwise, he could forget about raising his loyalty.

Thinking of this, Wang Mang decided to go along with An Lan’s bragging on the way back to Qingmu City.

Even though this fellow’s boasting was too ridiculous, Wang Mang still chose to believe it.

This also caused An Lan’s loyalty to Wang Mang to skyrocket!

At this moment, in Qingmu City, An Lan confidently said to Wang Mang,” My Lord, Qingmu City isn’t too bad. 1, An Lan, will definitely suppress Qingmu City within three months or a year and hand it over to my Lord.”

Hearing this, Wang Mang was pleasantly surprised. He laughed and said,

“Good, good! With your assistance, the world is within my grasp!”

After hearing Wang Mang’s words, An Lan’s face was filled with joy, but he felt extremely guilty in his heart. Wang Mang’s unreserved trust in him made An Lan feel as if he had found a confidant!

At this moment, the system’s voice rang out.

[Ding! An Lan was extremely touched by the host’s trust. Loyalty +10! Current Loyalty Value: 90 (Note: After 90, the subordinate will never betray the host)!]

After hearing the system’s voice, Wang Mang finally cried tears of joy. He was tired of being a sycophant!

At this point, he could finally rest easy and not worry about An Lan betraying him.

After Wang Mang returned to the mansion near the East Gate, he ordered the old servant to bring An Lan to the Chen family.

After sending An Lan away, Wang Mang’s state of mind had also changed. All in all, Wang Mang was in a good mood. With a Tier 5 expert under his command, he now had more confidence.

Although An Lan was not too strong, it would be enough to establish himself in Qingmu City. At the very least, he would not have to back down against other Tier 5 experts that were not too strong.

What made Wang Mang even happier was…

At night, the Golden Gate General and the Silver Gate General arrived at his mansion.

“Greetings, East Gate General!”

After the two of them entered Wang Mang’s hall, they hurriedly cupped their hands respectfully.

Hearing this, Wang Mang smiled and waved his hand.

“How was it? How were the takings from the entrance fees today?”

The Golden Gate General immediately replied respectfully, “General, today’s takings reached 500,000 immortal stones.”

Wang Mang’s eyes lit up.

If it was 500,000 immortal stones a day, would ten days not be five million?

Thinking this, Wang Mang became excited.

If this income was stable, then coupled with the sales from the stall at the rear entrance of the Sacred Emperor Academy, he would be able to earn immortal stones while doing absolutely nothing.

It was perfect!

Thinking this, Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction.

“Good! Give me 350,000 immortal stones!”

“You can split the remaining 150,000 immortal stones among yourselves!”

Upon hearing Wang Mang’s words, the two generals exchanged a look and said in delight, “Thank you, General.”

Clearly, they had not expected Wang Mang to stay true to his word.

Wang Mang waved his hand with a smile and accepted the 350,000 immortal stones.

However, just as Wang Mang was about to send the two away, the Golden Gate General hesitated and whispered, “General, although today’s harvest is good, tomorrow’s harvest might not be too good.”

“The price increase had a huge impact, and many people even brought this matter up to the East City Lord.”

“Moreover, you offended many people.”

“So what?” Wang Mang replied without a care.

“If I offended them, then so be it. If we don’t offend them, there won’t be any Immortal Stones to earn.”

“As long as there are benefits to be gained, so be it!”

“You want to live and get immortal stones, but you don’t want to offend anyone. Does such a good deal exist anywhere?”

“Besides, if something happens, I’ll take care of it. What are you afraid of?”

“Also, just send me my share of immortal stones every half a month!”

After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the two of them pondered for a while and realized that it was true.

In any case, they were just obeying orders. If something serious happened, Wang Mang would be there to take care of it.

Thinking this, the worries in their hearts instantly dissipated.

Then, they left in a good mood and full of energy.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

At this moment, Wang Mang was in the mansion’s courtyard,enjoying the night breeze.

Suddenly, the system’s voice rang out.

[Ding! Congratulations! Mission completed!]

[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained 10 million energy points!]

[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained Immortal-grade Gacha xi!]

[Ding! Evolution requirements met. Begin evolution?]
