Chapter 607: Expanding The Business
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Wh… Why?” Chao Kun was dumbfounded.
The few others then took turns to give their replies.
“If you can"t even deal with an invader, why are you still being a manager?”
“I still got a pile of things to handle for my own plane, where do I find the time to meddle in other business, time is money, do you know that?”
“It"s almost time, I need to cook for Master, who will be responsible if she eats past her mealtime and end up starving?”
“Sigh! It"s so troublesome to start again!”
Chao Kun: “…”
This was different from he had imagined, were the people who saved hundreds of plane back then the same people before him now? Had they been possessed?
“Instead of wasting time here, it"d be better to quickly go back and think about how to deal with the invader?” Pear darted a look at him and hurriedly chased. “As a manager, we should not interfere in the business of other planes at all, don"t make things hard for Shen Ying here.” Is my idol such an easy backer? Even she hadn"t managed to get to rely on her completely!
Chao Kun panicked and said, still refusing to give up. “But… but Madam helped us to deal with the Big Dao Organization organization the previous time, why now…”
“Oh, that time was purely accidental.” Lonemoon replied smoothly, originally they were just curious about the official organization amongst managers, but ever since they went to the administrative committee, they had already become completely disappointed in the so-called manager"s union. “Just take it that we merely… went on a tour.”
“T… tour?!” Going to the Big Dao Organization was a tour, then what was destroying it? Leaving behind some souvenirs before leaving? Chao Kun felt miserable all over, looking panicky yet not know how to speak up. Glancing at Shen Ying opposite him who was lazily sprawled out on the sofa eating her fruit, not even giving him a glance and the two others beside her who seemed to be looking at him like he was a thief. He ultimately had no choice but to fix his begging gaze on the relatively more normal Lonemoon, who was fiddling with an abacus at a side. “Fellow Daoist…”
“If you"ve understood us, then go!” He was about to speak up but Lonemoon looked up and beat him to it with an amiable smile. “I calculated it for you, the total cost of your treatment earlier is three million five thousand six hundred and seven two top grade immortal stones, rounded to the nearest whole, it"ll be three million and six thousand. You know! Chef and I are managers after all, it"ll naturally be more expensive when we work.”
“Ah? Ah!” He was stunned for a while, there were even charges for that?
“Why, are you finding it expensive?” Lonemoon"s eyes narrowed as he shook his head. “This is already a very cheap price, if you pay everything in one go, I can disregard your illegal entry, I won"t need you to make up for the visa fees, plane permit fees, casualty transportation fees and Shen Ying"s consultation fees. Oh, by the way… we charge by the minute!”
“…” Are you a devil?
Which manager would carry immortal stones and whatnot on them?
Chao Kun stared at him blankly for a while, seeing that he wasn"t in the least bit joking, it then occurred to him that he was being serious. “Fellow Immortal, I really do not have immortal stones on me, why don"t…”
“No credit allowed!” Lonemoon put his abacus away and stood up, looking like he was intending to see the visitor out.
“Fellow Daoist! It"s not that I want to insist on against your wills.” He looked even more anxious. “But this invader is indeed very special, his strength is also really odd, even I am unable to make clear of what he is till now, he"s even more terrifying than Yu Heng from the Big Dao Organization. Though it is only happening to my plane now, but no one can guarantee that he wouldn"t strike any other planes.”
“…” Lonemoon frowned.
He looked even more worried, now seeming to have more thoughts coming to mind, he frantically said, “If you don"t believe this, you can follow me to my plane, you"d see at one glance. Right now my plane is a mess, all the living creatures are affected. As long as you guys are willing to help me save the plane, double… No! Even ten times the amount of immortal stones, I"ll be willing to pay. Immortal stones, spirit veins, even Qi of the original source, as long as you don"t mind them, I"ll give anything.”
“Sure!”
“As long as the plane can resume nor… huh! Huh?” It then occurred to him what the other party had replied as he wore a dumbfounded look. “You… you agreed!”
Lonemoon instantly brought out his expression specially reserved for business, smiling kindly. “According to what you said, that person is indeed very dangerous, we ought to go take a look.” You"ve said earlier that there was money to be made!
“Ser… seriously!” Chao Kun"s eyes widened, disbelief written all over his face. Wasn"t he very obstinate earlier, he"d changed his mind so quickly?
“We"re all managers, it"s only right to help one another. Of course we can go take a look, but we can"t guarantee that we will be of any help.”
“Sure! I understand.” He nodded fervently, looking overjoyed.
Lonemoon"s smile became even kinder, he even went forward and patted his shoulder, saying, “Come come, tell us in detail about the situation of your plane. This way we have a better idea of what to do, especially the most valuable part…”
“Alright fellow Daoist, thank you fellow Daoist!”
Yi Qing: “…”
Shen Ying: “…”
Pear: “…”
A while later…
The corner of Yi Qing"s mouth twitched. “Master, Father Niu is…”
“Mm.” Shen Ying nodded. “I reckon he"s intending on expanding his business towards planes.”
“Then we"re really going over…”
Before he could finish, Lonemoon who had already gotten to the bottom of all of Chao Kun"s resources was already turning back and waving to them. “Shen Ying, Chef, prepare to set off!”
Shen Ying turned back and glanced at Chef before replying, “That"s right, we"re really going!”
The few of them set off after a meal, only after asking did they know that the plane gate on Chao Kun"s side had been locked, there was no way to directly enter that plane.
“I left a back door on the border of my plane.” Chao Kun quickly explained. “That side is linked to the void, we can pa.s.s through there.”
“Void?” Pear paused for a moment then turned to Chao Kun, asking, “That"s why you suddenly collapsed on the border of my plane?” Her plane had once been swallowed by the void, leaving only one city. Though the void had disappeared, there were still some remnants of its aura at the borders.
“Yes!” Chao Kun nodded and continued, “It was also a coincidence, the exit happened to be there. So to enter my plane, we"ll still need fellow Daoist Fang Fang to give the green light.”
“Sure!” Pear"s eyes lit up, saying excitedly, “Shen Ying do you want to go to my plane? Why don"t you stay there for a few more days?” As she spoke, she reached out to hold her but was blocked by Chef once again.
“Fellow Daoist, you"ve thought too much, we"re just pa.s.sing by.” Go away, little b*tch!
“…” Pear instantly sent a glare back. Hmph, a big deal being her disciple! Let go of my idol!
Watching as the two of them were about to get into a fight, Shen Ying still continued to nibble her fruit like it had nothing to do with her. Instead, Lonemoon interrupted, saying “Alright, let"s set off.” Only then did he break apart the two overly obsessed fans!
Pear opened her plane gate slightly indignantly and sent the group to the border of the void, but knowing that her own capabilities were limited, she did not insist on following along.
Chef was instantly in a good mood!
