Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Shu silently listened to the passers-by chat. He was melancholic. Why was the entire palace sure that he was the one who had eliminated Duanmu Yunge and Ding Qiushui? Did they have proof to say so?
But the problem was, no matter whether it was the people of the palace, or the candidates of the Sword Hut selections, they did not quite know him.
To everyone, their impression of Lu Shu was that of an expert who considered himself to be the best in the world. He targeted the strongest candidates on the list.
Thus, they felt that Lu Shu went down the rankings. As a result, this had happened. All the Rank Two candidates that had been eliminated by Lu Shu were overlooked. Many people did not know that Lu Shu had eliminated them as well.
But to Lu Shu, he had just done some planning. When he visited these people, he did not plan on eliminating them…
“Have you realized a rule?” Lu Xiaoyu looked at Yi Qian.
Yi Qian was dumbfounded. “What rule?”
Lu Xiaoyu calmly said, “All the candidates of the Sword Hut selections that Lu Shu sees have a 100% chance of being eliminated… there is no use buying rankings. They just have to pray that they are not seen by Lu Shu…”
“… that seems to be the case. You understand Boss well.”
Just as they were talking, Yi Qian suddenly realized that Lu Xiaoyu was slightly happy after Yi Qian had spoken. Lu Xiaoyu said to Yi Qian, “Yi Qian, you have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering things!”
Yi Qian was speechless.
“What are you talking about?” Lu Shu had thought about it thoroughly. He turned and said to Lu Xiaoyu, “I think that if they are really buying rankings, we can decide how to make money after observing for one day. After all, I really am not going down the rankings when eliminating people.”
“Then, Boss, how will you eliminate people?” Yi Qian asked curiously.
“I will eliminate the person whose odds are the highest,” said Lu Shu as if it was a matter of fact.
With Lu Shu’s current amount of money, he could buy 4500 sets of magical armor. Of course, this was not including the money made by the Wei Wu Army when they sold soap.
Lu Shu felt that although the gambling den was a profitable business, there were not many opportunities to do so. They bought and sold tickets. After all, they still had to wait for some time before earning money.
But for the Wei Wu Army, selling soap was a constant supply of income for them. Many major traveling businessmen and even small businessmen headed towards Nangeng City. It was a lucrative product. Everyone wanted to earn some money from this.
Thus, he did not earn less money from his soap business.
Lu Shu had spent a lot of effort attracting these traveling businessmen. First, he improved the basic facilities in Nangeng City and ensured that the traveling businessmen had food to eat and a place to stay. Many people in the Wei Wu Army did not know the significance of this, but now, they slowly realized that when services like inns, roads, gambling dens, and hotels had improved, traveling businessmen were happier coming to Nangeng City!
Furthermore, Nangeng City attracted many foreign traveling businessmen who wanted to invest in the entertainment industry. The entire Nangeng City was flourishing. Even the taxes had increased significantly.
The roads of Nangeng City were paved with limestone bricks. The city was much cleaner than before. There were people cleaning the streets everyday. There was even a place to burn rubbish outside the city. There was a significant increase in the number of service staff in the city. This was what the taxes collected were used for.
Recently, there was a saying among the traveling businessmen. In the past, when they went to other cities, they felt that they paid taxes for the head of the city to use. It was only in Nangeng City where they felt that the taxes were truly used for the sake of the people.
This was a compliment. This meant that everyone had enjoyed the benefits of service in Nangeng City.
Of course, the brothel industry started to flourish as well, but Lu Shu had no way of telling Zhang Weiyu that this was no good. The concepts were different. On Earth, it was against the law. But in the Luniverse, it could only be classified as a hygiene problem at worst…
Other than the basic facilities in Nangeng City, Lu Shu also requested the Wei Wu Army to get rid of any bandits who were hiding. This was to ensure that the traveling businessmen felt safe coming here.
With the current ability of the Wei Wu Army, killing bandits was extremely easy. The bandits near Nangeng City all moved away. They could not provoke the Wei Wu Army.
Under typical circumstances, a Rank Three bandit would be considered amazing. But the Wei Wu Army was different. Rank Three was considered a low rank in the Wei Wu Army…
They lived in the mountains. They did not have to worry about any dangers. What natural dangers could stop a Practitioner? The only thing that could stop a Practitioner was another Practitioner.
Furthermore, their scout could fly…
Later on, after the bandits left, they realized that the Wei Wu Army was expanding their range of attack. They could still see the Wei Wu Army after moving over 50 kilometers away!
Everyone was puzzled. This was too much!
But they did not know that this was the characteristic of the Wei Wu Army! Now, the Wei Wu Army was not lacking in money. They felt no pressure outside. Furthermore, the greatest benefit in eliminating these bandits was that… they did not have to do homework!
When Li Heitan and the rest found out about this, they went crazy. When they heard that there were bandits, no matter how far away they were, they would eliminate them!
At first, the bandits had no choice but to hide. Later on, they felt that there was something wrong about the mice around them. On one hand, there were changes in their appearances. Many mice had a tuft of black fur on their head. On the other hand, these mice were much more powerful than them…
Before the Wei Wu Army came, they would dream about a white squirrel asking them whether they wanted to buy soap…
Beating up bandits changed the impression of Nangeng City for the traveling businessmen.
In the past, when people were beaten up, they would find a governor and say, “Master, we have been beaten up. We cannot do our business. Please help us to eliminate them.”
The Nangeng City was on another level. Li Heitan waited at the entrance of the city and asked people whether they had seen any bandits. As long as they were in the North Region, it did not matter where they were. The Wei Wu Army would help them to get rid of their worries…
The traveling businessmen in Nangeng City sighed with emotion. This was the correct attitude to have when doing business. They could decrease the prices of their goods slightly. The traveling businessmen thought that it was not easy for the Wei Wu Army to earn money. It must have been very difficult!
Now, Nangeng City was very peaceful…
Thus, Wei Wu Army started to expand their sphere of activity. They even entered the territory of many aristocrat armies and the Long Meng Army.
Everyone was very angry. Their activities did not follow the rules. Which other army was like them?
Everyone gathered and discussed whether they should warn the Wei Wu Army.
But when the time came, they were all scared. No one dared to say anything. After all, it was already difficult enough to live…
This was the name that Wei Wu Army had painstakingly built for themselves. Everyone in the Wei Wu Army knew that these were the changes that Lu Shu had brought to everyone.
