“Regarding the sale of the shares, other than a girl named Su Xiaomeng buying 35% of our shares, everything else seems normal.”1
w.a.n.g Leitian, sitting in his office, narrowed his eyes as he took a puff of his cigar, listening to his secretary’s report.
“35%…” w.a.n.g Leitian suddenly opened his eyes and asked, “How many shares did we issue?”
“We’ve issued 120% of our shares… It’s already exceeded… Exceeded…”
w.a.n.g Leitian just waved his hand, interrupting his secretary’s stutter-filled report. What Stock Overissuance meant was something that he knew better than anyone else. This was not something he had to be reminded about.
The only thing he did not expect was that the Shangri-La project would be this popular once more right after he salvaged managed to salvage it.
Originally, he had already made his sh.e.l.l company, preparing to s.h.i.+ft his a.s.sets at a moment’s notice. However, it was even better for him now that Shangri-La was popular once more. Within just a short five days, more than fifty-thousand players had registered as Silver Members, whereas more than three-thousand had registered as Gold Members.
Judging by the way things were developing, once the number of Shangri-La members reach a certain number, they would be too big to fail! As long as the clients were there, there was nothing for them to fear.
“Send out the order, immediately initiate a buyback of the shares. It doesn’t matter if the price is a little higher, the more shares we buy back the better!” w.a.n.g Leitian made his decision once more.
“Yes…”
The secretary was utterly confused, but she did not ask anymore. She could only listen to the orders she was given.
“F*CK!”w.a.n.g Leitian angrily slammed his cigar on the table as he pulled out a name card from his drawer. After taking a glance, he typed a number into his phone.
“Is this Shen Zhongming Detective Agency? Yeah, I’m w.a.n.g Leitian, I need you to help me do a little digging on a lady called Su Xiaomeng. Money’s not an issue.”
…
After more than a dozen days of consecutively camping at Karan City had finally paid off for Li Yi.
The Aragon that had been killed had finally resp.a.w.ned.
“The Emperor’s Sword Set is one of the strongest weapons available in Pantheon Continent, second only to G.o.d-tier weapons. The reason the upper attribute have not appeared is because you do not have enough strength to fully utilise it.
“Try searching around the Emperor’s Capital, maybe your answers lie over there.”
As compared to the last Aragon, the current Aragon standing in front of his eyes sounded audibly colder by quite a bit. There was no helping it, this Aragon was no longer the Aragon that he once knew.
“Ding ding!”
After Li Yi had his conversation with Aragon, he suddenly accepted a new quest.
This one was called “The Hearts of the Ancient Kings”.
“The Hearts of the Ancient Kings” quest was extremely complicated, it needed both the Hall of Fame Equipment Set and Emperor’s Sword Set to defeat the Ancient Kings series Dungeons’ bosses. However, it was not the normal way of killing the bosses, it was a weird and extremely difficult method of killing them.
After Aragon finished giving out the quest, he just went back to bed to play dead. This new Aragon did not have much Affinity for Li Yi, he was only interacting with him due to “Luo Lan Empire’s Hall of Fame Quest”. Otherwise, he would not even bother gracing him with a response.
“F*ck, which dumb*ss was it that killed off Aragon?”
After Li Yi scolded out in anger, he turned around and walked out of the gra.s.s house.
“Achoo——”
The G.o.d of Ma.s.sacre Jiggly, who was busy farming in the Foreignland’s Sin City, actually sneezed out loud. After rubbing the snot from his nose, he looked over at Empyrean South by his side and asked, “Did you miss me?”
Dark G.o.d Empyrean South just blinked at him.
“You ain’t dead yet, why the f*ck would I miss you?”
“We’re all civilized people, can we not speak in such a vulgar manner?”
“You talk nicely all you want, what does that sh*t have to do with me?”
In two lines, he had Jiggly rolling his eyes.
Dark G.o.d Empyrean South was known for his vulgar mouth, but he was different from The Cat That Sings. When The Cat That Sings started spewing slurs she would not stop; whereas Empyrean South only went with one-liners.
Once, The Cat That Sings spent a huge effort to do her makeup for him, sporting a beautiful red lipstick, but with a single one-liner, he p.i.s.sed Cat off so much that she was hunting him down for an entire month.
“What f*cking sh*t did you smear on your face? It looks like you just ate a G.o.dd.a.m.ned dead baby.” Empyrean South said.
One time, Jiggly did not come online for three days. When Empyrean South saw Jiggly come on, he immediately sent Jiggly a message.
“I thought you were dead, I was just about to go burn some incense for you.”
Jiggly just waved his sword and slashed up a random mob, as he spat out, “My Alleria is already at ‘Wors.h.i.+p’, what about you?”
“How much I’m at ain’t your d.a.m.ned business. The important thing is that you don’t die so early. If you die so early, then you wouldn’t be able to put Alleria to use.”
Jiggly furiously gulped down his saliva as he looked at Empyrean South, he could not think of what to say.
…
“Shangri-La welcomes you! We are currently offering our services free to the public! All players heading over will receive a free ‘Shangri-La Teleportation Stone’!”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth posted over in the World Channel. Within a few days, the development of Shangri-La seemed to be going all according to plan.
Back when they had just opened to the public, no one knew about this place. Ever since the first batch of guests entered the place, this fun new thing started to spread via word-of-mouth.
Furthermore, in comparison with the beginning, to prevent another “Monster Blockade” incident, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth went the extra mile and gave away a Teleport Stone to every player who headed over to Shangri-La. With that, the players did not have to physically make their way here, just by using the Teleport Stone, they could instantly arrive here.
As the member count got higher and higher, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was also getting more and more arrogant. Now, he was no longer afraid of any Monster Blockade shenanigans. Now that the Shangri-La name had already spread far and wide, even if there were some newbies without the Teleport Stone, as long as they asked for help in the World Channel, there would immediately be a Wizard setting up Teleportation spell for the guy.
“Free! Completely free! Players who are interested, this chance only comes once, don’t let it slip! Come to Shangri-La, enjoy the Emperor’s Luxury!
“We’re awaiting your arrival!”
As soon as Tyrant Sword King the Fifth finished posting it was immediately followed up by a group of Shangri-La chicks that added on with lines attached with feminine voices. When players clicked on the words, they could hear the voices.
The advertis.e.m.e.nt was doing extremely well. The number of Shangri-La members kept rapidly increasing by the day.
After Li Yi returned back to the Holy Capital of the Invincible Continent, as he was heading North Pole Continent, he contacted Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g.
“Leader Sc.u.m, I’m now gonna give you a great and difficult mission, will you accept it?”
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g instantly replied, “What do you mean? In this Leader Sc.u.m’s entire life, never have I been ever afraid of anything. Just say the word!”
“Bring your man and go over to the Fluttering Snow Continent, and have some fun for free at Shangri-La.”
“Is that really such a great and difficult mission?”
“Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s minions have been wrecking us Iron Alliance peeps for quite some time. What I’m sending you guys over to do is to go straight into the lion’s den. Don’t you think it’s a great and difficult mission?”
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g suddenly got excited. ” You mean to say that I’m to bring my brothers over to Shangri-La and have a ma.s.sacre?”
“You can’t have a ma.s.sacre there, that place is a safe zone. You can only spar, you can’t kill.”
“Then, what are we supposed to do?”
“There are chicks there, a lot and a lot of chicks…” Li Yi’s voice was filled with temptation.
“Are there any that are like Sister Huahua? The ones that have big and white *sses?”
“There are a lot.”
Within half an hour, eight hundred Huashan members gathered up and haughtily made their way to the Fluttering Snow Continent…
