What the hell. He actually met a country lord who hated usury and had a strong sense of justice.
Li Xiang was naturally not a righteous person who wanted to eliminate the financial vampires. He was purely worried that the usury would destroy the Demon Countryâs [Business] coefficient.
Li Xiang continued, âStrictly vet the borrowers and lower the bad debt rate. Apart from that, share all the customer information in your accounts.â
âI can agree to the first condition, but the second condition, forgive my bluntness, Your Highness, let alone a winery, even the business district covered by the book of contracts is not as valuable as the customer information in our hands.â Gnome Pacu replied.
Customer Information has always been the most important asset of a bank.
In the chaotic Myriad World Continent, knowing how many assets the enemy has and the flow of funds was like opening clairvoyance in the fog of war.
When it came to business, the Gnome Pacu instantly turned into a shrewd merchant, completely forgetting that he was held captive by the enemy.
Suddenly, he saw Li Xiangâs expression turn ugly, and his gaze carried a trace of killing intent.
Cold sweat instantly covered his forehead, and Pacu nodded like he was pounding garlic. âHere, everything will be done according to your instructions!â
âAh, why are you so polite!â
…
Li Xiang once again smiled and patted Pacuâs shoulder.
âBut!â
Pacu, who had just relaxed, was once again on tenterhooks.
Li Xiang continued, âThe annual rent of one million gold soli. I am also thinking for your sake. Although we are master and servant, it is better not to let outsiders know!â
The word âoutsiderâ was especially emphasized by Li Xiang.
The shrewd Pacu instantly understood. He could not help but worry about his âundercoverâ future.
Placing a glass of wine in Pacuâs hand and lightly clinking it, Li Xiang smiled. âAlright, Pacu. According to my understanding, you gnomes are not good at fighting. As a partner, I must know how you recover the money you owe!â
âThisâŠâ
This time, the Gnome Pacu did not hesitate. He carefully said, âIf the borrower does not repay the money when it is due, then the one who comes to ask for the money is not us, but the disciplinary army of the union. Oh, which is the âMyriad Worldâs Country Lord Unionâ.â
Li Xiang smiled and asked, âTo be able to join that place, wouldnât your country be very powerful?â
âNo, no, no⊠we gnomes have reached an agreement with the country lord. We provide for his luxurious life, and he cannot interfere with the business operations of our gnomes.â
After the âagreementâ was settled, Li Xiang ordered someone to bring Pacu to the guest room to rest while he walked towards the business district.
Just as he walked into the business district, a burst of noise entered Li Xiangâs ears. At the same time, there seemed to be a faint stench in the air.
As he got closer, Li Xiang saw a group of four figures covered in mud with dried branches walking towards the business district.
âThis is the business district. What are you beggars doing here?â
âWhere are the demon guards? Hurry up and chase them away. UghâŠâ
A Tauren merchant grumbled.
A mud man said, âWe⊠We are not refugees. We are from the Swamp Kingdom. We are here to trade⊠trade seeds.â
The Swamp Kingdom?
Li Xiang frowned.
âLook at you. The swamp has nothing but mud and rotten grassroots. What do you have to sell? Get lost!â The Tauren merchant roared.
Li Xiang opened the main interface and looked at his [Business] score.
Since the book of contracts was opened, the [Business] score had been rising all the way up to 7,000 points. However, after the people from the Swamp Kingdom came, the increase stopped.
He canât chase them away!
Li Xiang made up his mind.
The core of [Business] was trading.
If he chased away the Swamp Kingdom, it would go against this core. At that time, the value of [Business] that had risen with great difficulty would drop.
Moreover, Li Xiang publicly announced the opening of the âFair Business Districtâ on the [World Chat Channel]. More people from the âSwamp Kingdomâ might be on their way here. If they were all chased away, the value of [Business] would drop to zero.
âLet them come to the back street.â
âIsabella, go there and open a water curtain room that can isolate the smell.â
Li Xiang ordered.
Isabella and a little demon followed the order and left.
Soon.
The pure water fairy used her ability to build a water curtain room.
The four people from the Swamp Kingdom came to the water curtain room.
âI am the Country Lord of the Demon Country.â
Li Xiang said with a calm expression.
The leading mud man apologized, âVery⊠very sorry, Your Highness, we know that we are very annoying, but we urgently need a batch of supplies.â
Li Xiang nodded slightly. âHow do I address you?â
âBullock.â
Li Xiangâs calm attitude made the mud man feel flattered.
This was the first time that Bullock met a country lord who was willing to communicate with him on an equal footing.
âWhat do you want to buy, and what can you pay for?â Li Xiang asked.
âWe want food, medicine, weapons.â Bullock paused for a moment and said, âOur Swamp Kingdom only has poisonous insects, snakes, frogs, bramble water grassâŠâ
âStop!â
âPoisonous insects, snakes, frogs, do you think I need these things?â
Li Xiang waved his hand.
Bullock instantly fell into despair.
âBut what is the bramble water grass youâre talking about?â Li Xiang asked.
Bullockâs hope was ignited again. âA type of water grass that can grow underwater and has thorns. Only our Swamp Kingdom has it. It only needs a little seed to allow the water grass to grow. It can take the initiative to entangle the enemy.â
Li Xiang asked, âWhat grade of enemies can it deal with?â
Bullock replied, âB-Rank. But if you add a suitable water type magic, you can defend against A-Rank enemies.â
Li Xiang tilted his head and looked at Isabella.
The system only displayed a few of Isabellaâs important skills. In fact, as a high-grade water fairy, she still had a few small spells that were not marked.
âI have a suitable water magic.â
Isabella replied, but her expression was a little unhappy.
As a pure water fairy, she liked a clean and unsullied environment. The best ones didnât even have a fish.
The water plants that were suitable to grow in the mud of the swamp would only make her vomit.
âThen buy some.â
Li Xiang replied.
Isabella pouted. Although she didnât like it, she had no reason to reject the country lordâs order.
But Li Xiangâs next words swept away Isabellaâs unhappiness,
âWhen the time comes, plant it at the bottom of the moat. You can throw a few water magic spells in.â
âYes, Country Lord!â
Isabella smiled and agreed.
âThank you, Your Highness.â
Bullock was so excited that he shook the mud on the ground again.
Li Xiang sighed helplessly, âAlthough I sympathize with your country, in business, your bramble water grass is worth as much as it can be worth. I wonât give you any more.â
âYour Highness, we will go back and deliver a batch of bramble water grass seeds to be appraised,â Bullock said.
Li Xiang said in surprise, âYou didnât bring them with you?â
âThe seeds of the bramble water grass are somewhat special. Once they are scattered outside, they can easily become an invasive species and invade the living space of other creatures,â Bullock said apologetically.
