Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 320: Chapter 252: Star Compass, Four Symbols Gourd

Li Xing’Er sighed, ”My goodness, training a High-level King is so expensive!”

Zhao Mei was queuing behind them, finding the conversation between the Indigenous People ahead of her quite amusing. She chimed in, ”You can probably count all the native-born Kings in the world on one hand. One hundred thousand Gold Coins to train a High-level King isn’t that expensive!”

”Oh? And who are you?”

”S-So beautiful!”

At her words, Li Tao’Er and Li Xing’Er turned to look at Zhao Mei. Looking quite pleased with herself, she said, ”I am the Sect Leader of the Refining Profound Sect. Soon, my sect will open its gates to recruit disciples. I see you two young ladies have extraordinary potential. Why not join my sect for Alchemy and Cultivation!”

Just then, a commotion broke out up ahead as people began to emerge from the Mysterious Shop, having completed their purchases.

The first to emerge were Hai Zhongxian and the Eastern Factory Brocade Guard. They had purchased items like Dusters, Jade Rings, Jade Waistbands, and waist-hung Jade Pendants and Jade Zithers.

Soon after, members of the Western Factory Brocade Guard also finished their shopping, emerging with golden Masks, golden Waistbands, and waist-hung golden plaques.

When it was Nangong Jin’s turn, they purchased a Strengthening Foundation and Nourishing Essence Pill, a magnificent Vermilion Bird Pattern Official Uniform, a golden saber, and a Jade Seal.

After them, Zhang Lengzi purchased an Experience Book and the Grass Flying Outfit, while Yang Qingniu got an Experience Book and an Earth Robe...

In summary, the items sold in the Mysterious Shop were tailored to each individual, typically including things to enhance their strength, as well as cosmetic outfits and accessories.

Yet at this moment, the happiest person wasn’t one of the professional soldiers and commanders who had used their salary to buy some coveted item, but Jelena.

Jelena knew how the Mysterious Shop worked. It was a cost-free business; for every transaction, the territory received a tax of at least 40%, and up to 80%. Thus, after one cycle, most of the bound salaries paid to the territory’s professional soldiers and commanders would flow back into the territory’s treasury.

However, when she glanced at the more than one hundred million Gold Coins her father had deposited in the Chaos Bank, she couldn’t help but shake her head and smile. ’I wonder how much this month’s Virtual Air Force Pay will be, and how much of it will flow back into the territory’s coffers. But I suppose it’s just pocket change. The monthly interest alone on Father’s money is several million Gold Coins.’

’Jelena felt the Fire Dragon Trading Team didn’t even need to make trade runs anymore. The bank was generating money automatically, and on top of that, there was the monthly Virtual Air Force Pay. Was there really any need to earn money from trade runs?’

Meanwhile, at Eggshell Pier, Pei Zhi, the head of the Fire Dragon Trading Team, was preparing to transport a shipment of watches to Quejing City.

He had struck a trade deal with Zhao Wenliang and two others and was planning to send a shipment of watches to Quejing City to be sold.

Since the small train had gone to the Ancient Barbarian Country, Pei Zhi planned to use a regular merchant ship for this trade run. A large quantity of watches and other goods had already been loaded into the cargo hold, the crew was ready, and the vessel was about to leave port.

Suddenly, a helicopter appeared in the sky and landed directly on the pier, sending the crowd scattering in alarm.

Pei Zhi narrowed his eyes. He recognized the helicopter; it belonged to the Jinque Country Court.

’Even if it’s a high-ranking Court official, landing on my pier like this is just arrogant!’

His expression turned cold, and he strode towards the helicopter, wanting to see what reckless fool was flying it.

The helicopter door slid open, and a tall man in coarse cloth robes jumped out in a hurry. He shouted, ”I am Lu Datong, Commander of the Imperial Guard of the Golden Sparrow Country! Someone is after the princess’s dowry, and supplies from the Royal Inner Palace have been stolen! I implore the forces of Huaguo Mountain to lend us their aid!”
