Chapter 1098 Treasure Pavilion
·
Hun Dun Huo
It has been said before that the Shenwu Legion represents the origin and will of Shenwu.
In other words, it can symbolize the real traces of Xiao Tianyang's existence on Douluo Continent.
After all, it's been thousands of years.
Compared with Xiao Tianyang's actions against the Soul Palace back then, the legend of his final confrontation with foreigners is obviously more eye-catching.
In addition, even though Shenwu has the title of 'Business City' and 'Entertainment City', it can make a lot of money.
But this does not mean that Shenwu is not short of money.
At the same time, Shenwu is not as otherworldly as the outside world thinks, and does not require external assistance.
At first, the scale of Shenwu established by Xiao Tianyang was not that large, and there were not that many departments under its jurisdiction.
In addition, Saber, who comes from a business family, helps take care of it.
Therefore, Xiao Tianyang seems to have never been troubled by money.
Except in the beginning.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
No matter how talented Saber is, she can't generate a lot of money out of thin air.
But then Shenwu's operations were officially put on track, and the prototype of the 'Entertainment City' took the lead.
Only then did the deficit on Shenwu's financial statements turn positive, and then it began to expand its industry, increase investment, and improve its operating methods.
This was originally a task that the staff of the Shenwu Temple needed to complete.
Now this rule has not changed. At most, these employees have changed their workplace.
Of course, there is another change, that is, Shenwu itself needs more and more funds.
The most fundamental reason is that Shenwu has more and more functional departments.
Not to mention anything else, just the two departments of Shenwu Research Institute and Baihua Building require a huge amount of funds every year.
In addition, the military expenses of the Shenwu Legion and the Soul Beast Legion.
Shenwu Academy’s annual scholarships and various equipment.
Kowloon Guard's daily maintenance of equipment and operational funds.
Under these various pressures, if Shenwu cannot find a stable source of funds.
It will only be a matter of time before the entire system collapses.
But just after 2000 years of barely maintaining this situation, one person stepped forward and changed everything.
In other words, it is this special institution that allows the departments mentioned above to grow rapidly in a short period of time.
And it is Jubao Pavilion!
Of course, the person who built it was not Liu Ruyi.
Her greatest achievement is to integrate the power within Jubao Pavilion and then push it to the pinnacle of Douluo Continent.
To put it simply, Jubao Pavilion does not have any combat effectiveness.
However, it can affect the operation and development of the entire Douluo Continent all the time.
If their strength exceeds that of Titled Douluo, then they basically won't have much interest in money.
Because ordinary money can no longer help them quickly improve their strength at this level, like before.
According to conservative members, money is useless because there is not enough of it.
Moreover, if this number accumulates to a certain amount, you will definitely achieve the results you want.
But for some people with more aggressive personalities, since money can't help them, let yourself enter the next stage.
Above Shenwu coins, there is another currency system, which is points.
Of course, this is limited to certain powerful titled Douluo and Super Douluo.
Because points need to be earned by completing tasks and killing enemies on the front line, and cannot be traded or given.
Therefore, these people with more aggressive personalities will directly jump into frontline battles, and even do some dangerous tasks.
The purpose is to get back to the previous rhythm of rapidly improving strength and not to fall behind those who started at the same starting line.
However, this is beside the point.
Nowadays, it is true that a large number of powerful people have emerged on Douluo Continent.
But those who build the foundation of the entire Douluo Continent are still those ordinary soul masters.
And the way they need to improve their cultivation and combat power still has to rely on a lot of money.
In addition, even those titled Douluo who are somewhat extreme in character do not dare to offend Treasure Jue Pavilion easily.
Because you are just a cultivator, you don't need to use Shenwu coins.
But as long as you are a human being, eating, sleeping, and certain special entertainment activities require money to be traded.
Since then, there have been people on the Douluo Continent who view the Jubao Pavilion from three different angles.
At the top of the list are naturally those powerful titled Douluo and Super Douluo.
Their attitude towards Jubao Pavilion is not to offend, and at the same time, they will not have too much interaction with each other.
After all, since the emergence of the Merchant Guild, a saying has appeared on Douluo Continent.
That is, all merchants recognized by the merchants' guild are foxes.
Of course, their cunning is only reflected in their eloquence and business acumen.
After all, businessmen are the most uncontrollable group of free people who have the greatest impact on daily life.
If it is not controlled, it is very likely that the entire grassroots level of Douluo Continent will fall into chaos.
Xiao Tianyang received guidance from Saber from the very beginning and set numerous strict rules within the merchant guild.
It’s okay to make money.
But if you dare to ignore your conscience, what Shenwu can give can also be taken back.
In the ten thousand years since Xiao Tianyang left, this iron law was violated by countless people, but no one managed to escape.
As the largest businessman among them, Liu Ruyi would naturally be feared by all powerful people.
After all, the number of powerful people who were deceived when doing business with Liu Ruyi was by no means less than three figures.
But even so, there are still countless people eager to make deals with each other.
The reason is naturally that the other party has a large number of resources and connections.
Jubao Pavilion can do things that others can't do or things that are out of reach for you.
As for the price you pay, it depends on your own ability.
Some people walked out of the Jubao Pavilion unscathed.
But there are also people who have signed contracts that last for more than ten years.
And these are all powerful men who have left a great reputation on the 'first battlefield'.
They didn't know it at the beginning, and they didn't have the consciousness to distance themselves from each other.
However, now that there is a precedent, they will naturally avoid such unnecessary risks.
As for the second-ranked candidates, they are those who need to work closely with Jubao Pavilion.
These include businessmen, families, forces, and lone rangers who act alone but need logistical supplies.
And their attitude can be expressed as love and fear.
As for the third type of people, they can only look up.
Most of these people are rookies who have just entered society, or are weak soul masters.
After all, in Douluo Continent, a world where strength is valued, weak strength basically means that you have no ability to make money.
At least not much money to be made.
Therefore, it is not that their strength is not qualified, but that they do not have the economic strength.
All in all, Jubao Pavilion is an institution that makes everyone adopt a complicated attitude.
And its contemporary leader, Liu Ruyi, is even more fearful to all those in power.
Even Qianguqing and Dongfanglan are no exception.
Of course, there are actually internal members who are worried about her causing trouble.
For example, Baihualou.
However, Esdeath, who was in the same area, was completely different.
After all, it is really difficult for her to be truly afraid of people or things in this world.
In other words, in this world, no one can change her mind unless she gets her approval.
But it is worth mentioning that Esdeath is making some preparations before Xiao Tianyang's return.
How could Liu Ruyi, who was feared by many parties, be idle?
What's more, among all departments, she is the one who has the most contact with the divine martial elves.
Logically speaking, those closest to the water should get the moon first.
But in the end, why was her family the only one not taking any action?
