Inciting Bewilderment
At dawn in the canteen of the inn, Xin Yun sat with a peaceful expression. Yi Luo Xiang sat at his side with a smile on her face. Surrounding them were A Da and his comrades. A Da’s group of seven looked at Xin Yun with surprise, their faces filled with disbelief.
After a long time, A Da said with difficulty: “Wha…. what did you say! You want us to listen to your arrangements?”
Faced with A Da’s question, Xin Yun nodded: “That’s right. In the upcoming half year, you will listen to my arrangements. Either way, you guys don’t have any clear goals. And I can guarantee that with my arrangements, you will always have a stable business. At the same time, your earnings will increase 100 fold!”
“This…” Although the future described by Xin Yun sounded very appealing, he was still just a child after all. If he wanted people to believe him, that was too difficult. It was practically impossible!
Seeing the hesitating looks on a few faces, Xin Yun also knew the way they thought. Frowning, Xin Yun continued: “I know you have some worries. How about this… either way, you guys currently do not know where you should go or what you should do. How about you follow my instructions for now. If you feel that things are not going well at any point, you can turn back at any point. This will be fine, right?”
Hearing Xin Yun’s words, although everyone still had doubts, it was as Xin Yun had said. Either way, they recently did not have any clear goals. In reality… they had never known what they should do. They only wandered all over searching. Since this was the case, before they found a new plan, even listening to the words of a seven year old child was alright. Either way, they would be wandering around.
While thinking, these comrades exchanged their opinions then reluctantly agreed to Xin Yun’s proposal. Although they still did not believe it, a few guys still secretly had hope that these children would be able to create a miracle.
Seeing A Da and his comrades finally agree, Xin Yun happily clenched his fist. He originally thought that he would need to expend a great deal of energy, but he did not think that simply saying a few words would lead to these guys actually agreeing!
While he was celebrating, Xin Yun continued: “Alright, since you have agreed, then let us quickly get moving. You guys know where Ju Mu Town is, right? We are going there.”
“Ju Mu Town?” Hearing Xin Yun’s instructions, A Da frowned and hesitated, saying: “I do know where Ju Mu town is, but it’s very far away. It’s a over ten thousand li away. What are we going there for?”1
“Over ten thousand li? Very far?” Having heard A Da’s concerns, to Xin Yun, over ten thousand li was a very short distance. But to A Da and his pig dragon, over ten thousand li could not be considered close.
Seeing A Da’s frowning expression, Xin Yun smiled wryly and shook his head. He forgot that A Da was not him from his previous life. Based on his power before being reborn, a distance of ten thousand li was a trip needing a mere ten minutes. But for the current A Da, perhaps it would require a week before they could arrive.
While thinking, Xin Yun slightly smiled and said: “Often times, in the pursuit of making money, you can not worry about the distance being far. Although it is a bit difficult, no matter what, we must rush to Ju Mu Town. There are massive business opportunities waiting for us. Could it be that you don’t want to get rich?”
“Get rich?” Hearing Xin Yun’s attractive words, A Da’s eyes could not help but light up. He resolutely nodded and said: “Very well, then we’ll do it as you said. We are going to Ju Mu Town!”
As he spoke, A Da stood up and loudly said: “Storekeeper, prepare me a week’s worth of rations for ten people. We need it in a rush…. We are in a hurry.”
“Wait a moment!” Just as A Da’s words came out, Xin Yun hastily interrupted him then continued: “Before departing, we need to acquire some of the specialty goods of this place. If we are going to Ju Mu, this place’s maize is very well liked. Ju Mu Town is a town surrounded by forests. Its citizens are proficient in hunting and do not have time to plant maize. If it is brought over, it can be sold at a good price!”
Hearing Xin Yun’s words, A Da smiled wryly and shook his head: “Kid, maize is indeed very well received in Ju Mu; however, my pig dragon is not capable very capable in transporting. It can not transport that much, also… the value of maize is too low. Even if we double our money, there is not too much point. After averaging things out, the daily profit would be too low.”
Hearing A Da, Xin Yun looked at A Da in surprise. In his previous life, he truly did not realize that A Da was not a complete blockhead. He still had a bit of a mind for business. Unfortunately… his vision was still too shortsighted.
While thinking, Xin Yun smiled slightly and shook his head: “First of all, six of your comrades will not be coming with us. They will remain here to cultivate to quickly raise their power level to bronze one star. Like this, if the six of you can transport things together, the amount of money that can be earned is higher, right?”
“This…” Hesitantly looking at his comrades, very quickly… A Da nodded: “That’s alright too. Them coming along is pretty pointless too. They would help out with carrying things around at most. It can not compare to them remaining here to concentrate on cultivating and reaching bronze one star faster.”
Reaching this point, A Da became excited and said: “If we do not bring them, then we can bring along more maize. Given the pig dragon’s abilities, we can transport ten bags of maize at once. Like this, although we would be earning slightly less, we would definitely be profiting and not losing out.”
Nodding and smiling, Xin Yun praised him: “That’s right. In reality, this is the case.In reality… this is just to avoid wasting time with this first trip. Our real starting point is in Ju Mu. After we have arrived there, our real business will definitely cause you to be extremely shocked.”
“Un un…” Hearing Xin Yun’s words, A Da repeatedly nodded. Speaking on this topic… even if there were nothing at Ju Mu, just transporting the maize was already pretty good. The profit was just a little lower. Even counting the costs, it would not be a worthless trip.
“But…” Just as A Da was secretly agreeing, Xin Yun suddenly frowned and said: “But, what we are going to transport is not just ten bags of maize. That is too little…”
“What? Too little! How much do you want to transport?” Hearing Xin Yun’s words, A Da became doubtful.
Xin Yun pondered a while then said with indifference: “Based on your pig dragon’s size and wingspan, it should be able to fly with 50 bags. But the speed will be too slow, so… we will reduce it by half and only transport 20 bags.”
“What! 20 bags? Do you know what you are saying? Like this, my pig dragon won’t be able to fly high or fast. Also, that is too tiring and will harm my pig dragon.”
Hearing A Da’s questions, Xin Yun grinned and dismissed it: “I know that if you transport ten bags, your pig dragon will not be affected, but could it be that you plan on leaving it in its current state for the rest of your life? Do you plan on allowing it to only be capable of carrying ten bags of maize for the rest of its life?”
Faced with Xin Yun’s questions, A Da opened his mouth but not a single word came out. Seeing A Da’s speechless expression, Xin Yun continued: “I know that if you transport 20 bags, your pig dragon will run out of energy after four hours of flying before it must rest for two hours before it can fly again. But… like this, at the same time as we are transporting the goods, your pig dragon will quickly grow stronger. Its ability to transport items will also increase from its current ten bags to 20 bags, 30 bags…. it can even reach 100 bags or 1000 bags!”
Speaking to this point, Xin Yun paused for a moment and coldly looked at A Da: “It must be known that not only do people need exercise. Dragons are also the same. Earning money is not the goal. Training your body and training your dragon is most important. With power, is there still a need to worry about not having money?”
“With power, is there still a need to worry about not having money?” Hearing Xin Yun’s final sentence, A Da closed his eyes and took a deep breath. That’s right… with power, would they worry about not having money? With his comrades as an example, he had a pig dragon, so he could earn money. As for his six comrades, their strength was too low, so they could only rely on him. They had absolutely no ability to earn good money. With power, would they still lack money?
Looking at A Da’s eyes gradually light up, Xin Yun continued: “Your pig dragon is roughly ten meters tall and roughly 30 meters long. The back is very broad beyond compare. If you work hard enough, forget 100 bags, even 1000 bags is not the pig dragon’s limit. Think about it, even if you choose something with as low a profit as maize, if you can transport 1000 bags, then what would the average daily profit be?”
“Haha…” Hearing Xin Yun speak, a trail of saliva leaked from A Da’s mouth. That’s right… at 1000 bags, then he could earn in one trip… heavens! This was too frightening and too exaggerated… but it was not impossible. There would be someone who could do it.
Seeing A Da’s demented appearance, Xin Yun let out a ghostly smile. In reality… he had secretly changed the concept. To bear the load of 1000 bags of maize, with each bag of maize being 100 jin, it would be a total of 50 tonnes! That was something only someone of gold four star and above could accomplish. And in reality, in his previous life, up until the point of Xin Yun’s rebirth, these seven guys had only reached bronze eight stars. They were still far away from reaching silver rank, much less gold four stars!2
Also, continuing in the thought exercise, did this place have that much maize for him to transport? Also, the storage at Ju Mu had its limits. If that much were transported, the value of maize could not possibly remain as high as it currently was. The scarcer something was, the greater its value.
