Nighttime.
After logging off at seven, the forums exploded, a bunch of people were buzzing with excitement, talking about today's topic.
Many people were thinking.
How to activate the marriage system in this game, itching with desire.
Of course, many people were also discussing the tomb raiding operation, knowing that this tomb raiding was generally over.
Food God: "Hahaha, I can imagine, tomorrow that City Guard will be dumbfounded."
Shao Chaikun: "First day, they didn't come, second day, they didn't come, tenth day, why are they still not coming? —City Guard squatting in the mud pit, counting the days with a face of doubt."
Su Yuniang: "Looks like it's over, full of spoils, but I guess this is not a perfect clear, after all, we only took most of it, there's still plenty of spirit plants and core buildings left."
Mudworker: "Tomorrow, are we going to hit the boss directly in the dungeon?"
Jiucai Rong: "No need for that, let's digest things first, in a few days, we'll prepare a wave and then attack the boss, after all, we've basically emptied their home, they won't run... think about how to wrap this up."
Everyone agreed too.
Going into a dungeon to kill a boss isn't simple.
If you don't spend a lot of time preparing, it's probably hard to achieve a perfect achievement.
Su Yuniang: "What to do with that group of girls, can Jiucai Rong sneak a word with the old steward, see if the Lord of the Manor can match the blacksmiths in the manor with a wife, I want one too."
Medical Fairy: "Su Yuniang getting a wife? You're quite bold, (ΩДΩ)"
Su Yuniang: "Hehehe, I've set my eyes on a rabbit-eared beast-eared lady, super cute. (*╹▽╹*)"
Shrimp Catcher: "I like that fox girl, the tail is so adorable, (#^.^#)"
Jiucai Rong seeing how happy they were, also thought this is a consumer move that boosts the economy.
As everyone knows.
Houses, bride prices, are gigantic money burners.
Jiucai Rong thought for a moment: "Then I'll talk to the steward about it tomorrow."
...
Ning Zheng didn't have time to look at their forums at all.
This night, he was so busy that he was dizzy and seeing stars.
His current cultivation was enough to root him against these weak ghosts.
But even so, this mana-rich Celestial Spirit Root of his was utterly exhausted.
Perhaps if it were other attributes of Celestial Spirit Root, they'd have long been exhausted, but Ning Zheng being a Yin Spirit Root matched the attributes of the Earth Vein, allowing him to fight until dawn.
Moreover, he wasn't worried about Ning Jiaojiao, Su Yuniang discovering he wasn't home.
Because they often didn't come home at night themselves, even if they returned at night it would be in the late early morning, who would knock on the door in the middle of the night to see if Ning Zheng was sleeping in bed?
Fought all night until dawn.
Ning Zheng looked at the entrenched female prisoners in the prison, sighed with relief, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
As for those beast-eared ladies, being unstable factors, were confined to a separate area.
Those demon beasts were locked in the demon beast area.
The Demon Tiger who first joined the No-Life Sect was a coward and had already started to be a mole, urging other demon beasts: "Brothers, this is the No-Life Sect."
"It's not a legitimate official prison, they will subject you to terrifying torture, torture you in all sorts of ways, it's super perverted."
"I advise you to surrender, or you'll suffer."
The demon beasts in the other cells looked at each other in bewilderment.
In the human cell.
"Rest assured, we have food and accommodation here."
Li Zhenzhen was also acting as a spokesperson, constantly comforting other prisoners.
...
Ning Zheng, busy all night, looked at the time, it was probably around eight in the morning.
Might as well go up the mountain and take a look.
On the way up the mountain, Shi Youxing sent a message via Communication Token.
She indicated she was still doing the final cleanup work in the tomb, dismantling their temporary camp, asking if he wanted to come along.
Ning Zheng thought to himself, is this woman really wrapping up the tomb raiding?
I fear she's still coveting our manor's secrets, wanting to visit and be a guest.
He neither agreed nor refused, saying that if he had time later, he might go over and take a look.
Swoosh.
Pushed open the manor gates.
Most of the little blacksmiths had gotten up for work, bustling in front of the bulletin board, picking up the daily tasks of the day.
Jiucai Rong came quickly, inviting Ning Zheng to the steward's room for a gathering.
Entered the steward's room.
Jiucai Rong dispersed the others, asked quietly: "Sir, about those women, don't know if the Lord of the Manor would be willing to host some marriages... this could motivate the enthusiasm of the manor."
Jiucai Rong whispered: "200 Magic Coins per maid, we could let them spend 3000 Magic Coins as a dowry, add a dowry loan, this profit is enormous."
Ning Zheng hesitated, feeling it was too heartless, "Wouldn't this be bad."
Ning Zheng thought they earn that little bit of Magic Coins, it wasn't easy.
Besides, ghosts are not safe, when they go crazy they suddenly kill someone.
Why are they always thinking about human-ghost entanglement?
Feels a bit off track.
Moreover, Assistant Ai had also reminded: no substantial contact is allowed, even physical contact would lead to being censored.
Because, even if the tools for crime were confiscated, those foolish blacksmiths would definitely mess around.
Ning Zheng naturally wanted to prevent this strictly.
A harmonious society starts with the manor.
Jiucai Rong said seriously: "You mean, the Lord of the Manor is unwilling..."
Ning Zheng nodded, outright stopping this kind of behavior.
And in Jiucai Rong's heart, a shiver ran through him, as if he had thought of something.
Indeed.
This game is very realistic and logical.
And the Manor Master buying these people, is obviously for a harem, heard that some special Yin Spirit Roots, ghosts don't harm them much.
So, these are all the Manor Master's wives, how could he be willing?
But.
This is another huge income.
Ruthlessly fleecing those blacksmiths, making them spend money...
Damn it.
Every time Jiucai Rong thinks about not being able to squeeze money from the blacksmiths, his heart fills with immense pain.
He was pondering if it was possible for the Lord of the Manor to open up a harem and at the same time, get the blacksmiths to fork over bridal money...
Suddenly, Jiucai Rong thought of something.
The Lord of the Manor, by purchasing these women, clearly has a liking for married women.
Likes to cuckold others.
According to the logic of the game, this reasoning obviously makes sense.
How could the Lord of Green Hat Manor not cuckold others?
So, he came up with a plan: "My lord, I have an idea that can be a win-win."
"What plan?" Ning Zheng frowned.
Jiucai Rong said nothing, just gave a mysterious smile, took out a piece of paper, covered it with his hand, and sneakily started writing on it with his other hand.
He did this to prevent those from the [audience perspective] from seeing his upcoming conversation with the old manager.
Jiucai Rong wrote: "I know the Lord of the Manor has unique tastes, but these women who have lost their husbands might lack a certain flavor."
Ning Zheng didn't quite understand what he meant.
Jiucai Rong: "My suggestion is to find them new husbands, communicate from afar, like letters or painting cards, so when the Lord finds them, those women can tell the blacksmiths: Honey, I'm out for a run... I'm doing my hair... I'm chatting with my girlfriends..."
Ning Zheng was somewhat bewildered.
Didn't get it.
Completely incomprehensible.
Jiucai Rong: "This way, it's the best of both worlds! The Lord enjoys more Tauren joy, and the blacksmiths think they have a wife, which encourages them to buy gifts and boosts their spending."
"Over time, the two thousand women in the prison all become letter-wives to the mountain blacksmiths, so when the Lord visits, others' wives are even happier, more thrilling."
Ning Zheng: "???"
Now he understood what it meant.
He looked at him incredulously, filled with disbelief.
This guy... is he crazy! What is he saying? How can his thinking be so outlandish?
Jiucai Rong had a serious face, radiating the light of righteousness:
"Don't worry either, people from our homeland are all like this! They love this quirk, caught in the act!"
Ning Zheng: "This is just too..."
Jiucai Rong immediately said: "Too thrilling!! But Lord, please don't expose it because... it will be very stimulating!"
Ning Zheng: "The blacksmiths are diligent, there's no need..."
Jiucai Rong: "Yes!! We are diligent, working for the boss, moving bricks, and then the wife helps the boss relieve worries, that's what a qualified employee should do."
Ning Zheng was gradually stunned, his jaw dropped: "You guys..."
Jiucai Rong was firm as if with a lofty faith, pounding his chest with one hand: "We!! Let us blacksmiths serve the Lord!"
Ning Zheng understood but was greatly shocked.
He was dumbfounded for a while, seeing the other person so resolute, ultimately sighed: their race loves sleeping in pigeonholes, their race loves no good end, their race loves being cuckolded...
Too frightening.
What else could be said?
They have all accepted their Qi Fortune, as long as they are happy.
He pretended to receive a transmission from the Lord:
"The Lord allowed this matter, but as for the so-called cuckolding, just forget it, communicating normally with the women under the manor is enough... but there should be no physical contact between them."
Ning Zheng also accepted this, simply compromised, just remembered to remind Ai, couldn't let them have mutual contact, it would disrupt harmony.
Jiucai Rong expressed his understanding,
"Yes, I know, behind every unattainable goddess, there's... Don't worry about this, nobody on the mountain blacksmith knows."
"Except for the Lord, the old manager, and me."
As he said this, he showed a meaningful smile.
?
That lackey's appearance looked so sleazy no matter how you look at it.
Ning Zheng was speechless, could you be a bit more serious! Clearly, it's a proper [Demon Suppression Tower] prison, how did it develop in such a strange direction?
He couldn't really cuckold others, such shameless things were impossible, but Ning Zheng knew arguing now would only make it more chaotic, he couldn't be bothered with Jiucai Rong's bizarre train of thought, was he trying to make everyone feel pain?
After Ning Zheng left, he descended from the manor, walking a bit dazed down the mountain, feeling his brain was violently impacted.
Jiucai Rong, what a brilliant talent!!
...
After sending off the old manager, Jiucai Rong raised his hand high and shouted:
"Brothers, I convinced the old manager, opened a side quest allowing you to date and find girlfriends."
"From now on, you can communicate with the ones down the mountain, the [Marriage System] has been formally updated! Launch the bridal loan!"
Jiucai Rong loudly announced.
The entire manor's blacksmiths knew nothing, but they cheered.
"Great, Jiucai Rong is awesome!"
"Outrageous, how did you convince the old manager?"
"Why didn't you show the audience perspective, why such secretive communication?"
"Maybe if you say it, it won't work?"
"Who cares, Jiucai Rong definitely used his strongest rhetoric to persuade the old manager."
"Jiucai Rong is our hero!"
...
A group of people cheered, gathered around, and threw Jiucai Rong high into the air.
Seeing everyone admire him so much, treating him as their hero, Jiucai Rong silently thought to himself: "Don't blame me, you are happy."
"The Lord also got stimulated by Cao, and I, Jiucai Rong, boosted the manor's economy."
"A threefold win."
This is Green Hat Manor, Jiucai Rong had a complete epiphany: as long as you don't know you're being cuckolded, you are —
A happy family.
