Chapter 388 - Completed 9,000 Times
The reason was simple. This person was created by Lei Luo using magic.
How could he be found in the real world?
On the eighth day after the mission was released, a newly formed mercenary group named "It"s so d.a.m.n hard to choose a name" completed the mission.
They completed the mission extremely well. It was simply unprecedented because they had completed this mission 9000 times in less than six minutes.
Because the mission rewards were distributed by themselves, no one needed to review them.
These rewards were also transferred to the mercenary group"s account.
Soon, this money was converted into silver coins and entered the empire"s largest Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce. After an extremely complicated exchange, the money disappeared like a cloud.
If the mercenary union knew how to look up the money, then they would have to pay a special information inquiry fee to the Chamber of Commerce.
This fee was one-thousandth of the inquiry fee.
After tracking down more than twenty chambers of commerce in a row, the mercenary a.s.sembly gave up because they realized that they might need to pay ten times the amount of gold coins taken from them just to be able to track down the money.
This was only a possibility.
A few days later, in the third province, the most famous place for profligacy and the paradise of the playboy and nouveau riche...
After a month of debauchery, the originally pa.s.sionate Lei Luo gradually became tired of this kind of life.
He began to realize that what he originally desired, in fact, could not really satisfy him.
The reason why he desired so much was simply because he lacked them.
When he truly had them, he felt bored.
On this day, after having an in-depth exchange with the eighty-sixth big-breasted beauty who came to the depraved system, Lei Luo paid them a thousand gold coins to leave.
Then, he collapsed in the bathtub and looked out of the window in boredom.
Lying in the bathtub, Lei Luo shouted loudly, "It"s about time to go back. I wonder how the situation with the big-breasted violent woman is."
"It"s really out of my expectations. You actually want to go back so quickly?"
Morton, who was holding a pipe in his mouth, walked out of the study and walked to the bathroom door. He smiled and spoke to Lei Luo, who was in the bathtub.
"Well, I think I"ve had enough fun. There"s no point in going back and forth with those things. Alas, I"m still in the village, thinking about it day and night. After experiencing it, I feel that it"s nothing more than this."
"No wonder you looked dispirited after coming here. It"s true that you"ve been here before."
Lei Luo stretched out his hand and patted the foam on the water surface.
"You"re much stronger than me. When I first came to the fallen capital, I stayed here for a whole year and couldn"t bear to leave..."
Morton exhaled a long puff of white smoke.
"Well, speaking of which, I"ve been with you for a few months, but I actually don"t know much about you. You"ve never told me about your past."
"Past? You"re interested in my past?"
"I"m interested in it, of course. What I"m most interested in is, how did you start from scratch in such a short period of time? And how did you collapse?"
"Starting the price, it"s very complicated. After so many years of struggle, it"s not something that can be explained in a few words."
"However, the reason why I can start the price so quickly is because of a person"s help. If that person didn"t give me three million gold coins as the capital, I might still be a failed reserve officer up until now."
"Three million gold coins? The person you are talking about isn"t my teacher, right?"
Lei Luo"s eyes widened.
"That"s right. We met in a tavern at that time. I only wanted to do business for a while, but because of my father"s orders, I had no choice but to become a reserve officer and go to the military academy to study."
"Your father is a reserve officer?"
"No, he is just an ordinary gardener, but he wants me to make a name for myself. He has always hoped that I could become a lord and n.o.ble, but I have no interest in military affairs. I only want to promote business."
"Knights...Business and military affairs do not conflict. I have read a lot of war history. Behind every war, it is all about money. The number of soldiers who die from gold coins is no less than the number who die from magic and swords."
"Business and war are inseparable. A commander who does not know how to use money will not become a good general," Lei Luo said in a natural tone.
"What you said makes sense. Everyone knows about knights, but how many people can actually do it? Although we can also learn about military affairs and business, there are very few people in the entire empire who can achieve outstanding achievements in business and military affairs. In the past thousands of years, it has become a tradition of the entire empire that the plutocrats and the warlords despise and repel each other. Therefore, the prejudice between the plutocrats and the warlords can no longer be shaken off."
Morton shook his head with a smile and continued, "Not to mention others, even an unworldly expert like your teacher cannot shake off such an adult. In the past, he also repeatedly advised me to join the military. In the end, when he saw that I was determined, he only gave me three million and allowed me to pay the academy"s money so that I could use it to start my own business. When he gave me the money, his face was filled with regret, as if he saw that I had wasted my life. With the emergence of the law of succession, the older generation was increasingly restricted, and the s.p.a.ce for the younger generation would also become larger and larger. No matter how much effort the Citizens" a.s.sembly or the senate put in, their system, which is neither too high nor too low, is destined to be excessive. They will eventually be overthrown. Of course, the people of their generation have their own points, but their era is also destined to pa.s.s. I dare to bet with you that the empire will be reshuffling, and the time required will not be more than twenty years. And as the era changes, these cliché ideas, as well as those n.o.ble n.o.bles, will be completely destroyed."
"I think exactly the same as you," Lei Luo said.
"It is precisely because I have realized this that I can"t wait to get up early. I know that as long as I make preparations early, I will be able to gain a firm foothold before the coming World Chaos. In the beginning, I did everything very well. I developed rapidly, but I was steady. In just four years, I went from Morton Trading Company to one of the largest trading companies in the third province. Such wealth is not inferior to even the most powerful alliance leader."
