Chapter 8: Wang Lu made a difficult decision(2/2)
Wang Lu nodded: "It makes sense. It is wrong to ignore the power of the people. But... there are hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones in one city. Tsk, this is really unexpected."
The old pervert smiled and said: "Yes, it is precisely because you famous sects did not expect that we have room to make a fortune. And spiritual stones and other things are not the most important to us. If we occupy a city, then
The benefits are simply countless.”
Wang Lu asked: "Tell me in detail?"
"This..." the old pervert thought for a while, "For example, the fiscal income of a city in a city is about several million taels of silver per year, but the value of the finance we can raise every year can be ten times that!"
"Holy crap, ten times the fiscal and tax income? You are definitely embarking on the Great Leap Forward?!"
The old slut smiled and said: "But this is a fact. A country's finances and taxes usually do not drain the land, because if the taxes are too heavy and make the people unable to live, no one will benefit in the end. However, the Seven Star Sect is different. Those mortals who believe in
Foolish people who are capable of cultivating immortals are willing to do whatever it takes to seek immortality. What does it mean to lose everything? They can even sell their wives and children just to exchange for a pack of bacon lings! With fools like this, why worry about money not coming?"
After the old pervert finished speaking, before Wang Lu could speak, he heard the proprietress behind him say angrily: "How can you sleep while making such unconscionable money!?"
Being yelled at by the boss lady, the old pervert shivered all over. Compared with Wang Lu, a Qi practitioner from a famous sect, he was actually more afraid of the flat-chested girl who clearly had no cultivation at all, but could break through countless layers of defense with one punch -
-That's the real monster.
So after hearing her anger, the old pervert immediately explained: "Actually, we can't all be blamed for this. Those fanatic believers who ruined their families often brought it on themselves. We just made some false advertising, but the prices were clearly marked, and the prices were clearly marked.
There is no forced trafficking... Even some conscientious disciples, seeing that their conditions are really difficult, will persuade them to do what they can. But it is of no use to those fanatical believers. If we talk too much, they will suspect that we are making differences.
Treatment! In order to cultivate immortality, they can do anything. For example, in Wangjiacun, I just received news two days ago that several families are afraid of losing the favor of the Seven Star Sect and plan to... use your parents and family as hostages to claim credit.
.”
After hearing this, the landlady was slightly startled and quickly turned to look at Wang Lu, only to find that the latter was completely indifferent.
"Oh, sometimes I think, maybe this is human nature. For a bottle of bacon spirit, many people are willing to kill and set fire!"
The landlady couldn't help but ask: "But... for mortals, no matter how crazy they are, those bacon spirits can't have any effect? Why are they still stubborn?"
The old pervert said: "Of course it has an effect. After all, it is the ground-breaking invention of Liuhe Patriarch of the Shengjing Immortal Sect... No matter how dull your qualifications are and how scarce your immortality is, as long as you keep taking it, your cultivation will still improve.
And it is these insignificant progress that can attract them to continue. Hehe, I am also a veritable foundation-building monk, but I never thought that cultivating immortals can really be so attractive!"
Wang Lu also intervened at this time to explain: "Sister Ling, in the current world of immortal cultivation, except for ancient sects like ours, as long as artificial spiritual roots are released, basically as long as you have money, you will have cultivation, even if you are obese like Wen Bao,
, even if you feed yourself with bacon spirit and the like every day for more than ten years, you can develop a good Qi practice."
"This...the effort and the reward are completely out of proportion. No matter how hard these civilians try their best, how much money can they spend in exchange for spiritual elixirs? After decades of bankruptcy, I am afraid that even the ninth level of Qi training cannot be stabilized. What on earth is there?
significance?"
The old pervert was stunned for a long time: "Actually, I don't know what the meaning is, but...since they are willing to suffer, of course we are willing to fight!"
Wang Lu shrugged: "Sister Ling, don't try to understand the thinking of those idiots. If they were willing to use their brains to think and reason, I wouldn't have to come here to deal with this old pervert."
The old pervert smiled bitterly and didn't know how to answer the question.
However, he soon realized that he didn't need to say anything more.
Because Wang Lu continued: "However, what I said just now gave me an idea."
"...Thoughts?" The proprietress was leaning against the door frame leading to the back room, feeling a chill on her back for no reason.
"Everyone in life is stupid."
The landlady was stunned when she heard this: "Uh..."
"Most people in this world are stupid. This stupidity comes from nature, just like birds are born to fly and fish are born to swim. Most people in this world are born to be stupid... This is the law of heaven.
, there is no way to disobey."
"..."
"I once tried to resist this kind of way of heaven in Wangjia Village. I thought I was fine with my eloquence, but in the end I couldn't even win an argument against a little guy... It wasn't because my eloquence had deteriorated, but because I disobeyed the way of heaven at that time.
It went against the grain, so I lost."
"..."
"On the contrary, although the Seven Star Sect is a low-level cult organization in our opinion, they have complied with God's will in this matter."
The landlady was going crazy: "They obey God's will!? Wang Lu, can you please be more clear-headed?"
Wang Lu smiled and said: "My mind is clearer than ever before. It was you who confused Sister Ling. Think about it carefully, what is the biggest law between heaven and earth? It is survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest! It is the law of the jungle! Look at the fox catching the rabbit, the rabbit
What evil have you done to deserve to be eaten? If a rabbit eats grass, do those flowers and plants deserve to be eaten? The answer is, this is the law of heaven. If you sympathize with the flowers and plants, the rabbit will starve to death; if you sympathize with the rabbit, the fox will starve to death...
...The final conclusion will become that this world might as well not exist, so as not to suffer all the time in life...But this is obviously wrong
"..." This series of reasoning completely confused the landlady. The girl gently knocked her head on the door frame, but she didn't understand it until the solid door frame cracked.
It's really unclear.
Wang Lu said: "So, put away your cheap sympathy. We often say that the world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. If you are in the rolling world of mortals and there is no way to escape, then that's it. But since you have embarked on the path of immortality, you should treat it with a higher attitude.
Look at all this from the perspective of others. If the people are stupid, then God is destined that they will be oppressed and exploited. If no one is oppressed, it will be a waste. The Seven Star Sect has done a good job and has successfully played an important role in the food chain.
Huan. In my opinion, the Seven Star Sect and other similar sects are like a group of hard-working harvesters in a wheat field."
"Damn it, you hard-working reaper, you..." The proprietress almost wanted to smash the entire wall with her headbutt, and was so messed up by Wang Lu's words!
"This is a fact..." Wang Lu said and sighed, "The only problem is that as a reaper, the Seven Star Sect is really terrible.'
The boss lady, who still felt like her mind was in a state of confusion, nodded sadly: "In short, we still have a common language when it comes to criticizing the Seven Star Sect..."
But then, the common language disappeared.
Because Wang Lu said with a smile: "Since the Seven Star Sect is unreliable, it is better to leave this matter to professionals."
"professional……?"
Wang Lu pointed at himself: "The professional adventurer is here."
Chapter completed!
