It can be said that the Southern Empire hosting this grand event is different from what it was a hundred years ago. The Southern Empire 100 years ago was also very powerful, but what about now? Although it is still the most powerful among the three empires.
The most powerful, because things like this have happened in both the Western Empire and the Northern Empire, but the current international environment is also different from the past. The Eastern Empire has begun to make full efforts and must have its own on the entire road.
The most important thing is that there is an extra Cao Family Trading Company. This Cao Family Trading Company has begun to change the entire continent in all aspects. Such things make the senior officials of the Southern Empire feel very uncomfortable, so this time the genius
The selection competition hopes to make the Southern Empire rise again and shine its glory on the entire continent, so what they want is to make their people do better and find more capable and talented people in this selection competition.
People can make the Southern Empire glorious again.
They approved the participation of the people from the Cao Family Trading Company without even thinking about it, and also found a special seat for the people from the Cao Family Trading Company below. Although such a seat could not be compared with the imperial brothers of the four empires.
It's a comparison, but it can be regarded as acknowledging that the people of Cao's Trading Company are a special guest in this competition. It can be regarded as acknowledging that they are a powerful party in the mainland. This is also a status recognition. In the past, Cao's Trading Company could
I haven't received such treatment before, but this time it was pretty good.
Wu Zuoxi has already started some investigation in the Southern Empire. However, the power of the Cao Family Trading Company in the Southern Empire is really not very good. Many people in the Southern Empire already feel that they are somewhat powerless. This is mainly because of Cao's family's influence in the Southern Empire.
The firm's foundation in the Southern Empire is not very good. Even if they want to know the news quickly, their information level is not that high. What kind of person is this God of Death? In the Southern Empire, it can be said that he is only
With his hands covering the sky, many people immediately backed down when they heard the news that they wanted him. Are you kidding me? Is the God of Killing an ordinary person? If he is caught, he will probably be the unlucky one. A lot of money is
You can make money, but you can't make a lot of money. It's a life-threatening amount of money.
But the death of the third child cannot end like this. When Li Cong arrived in the Southern Empire, the murderer was already waiting for Li Cong. He knew that this matter would be difficult after Wu Zuoxi passed the news, so it was better to tell Li Cong directly.
Just talk. It just so happens that Li Cong hasn't met this guy for a long time. It feels good to meet and talk about this matter now. Maybe I can get some news from him, I don't know for sure, Cao's Trading Company
As a participant in this talent selection battle, the God of Death also had many things to communicate with Li Cong. The two parties chose a large city in the central part of the Southern Empire as the meeting place.
The central city of the Southern Empire, Uyi, can be said to be located right in the middle of the Southern Empire. The transportation here can be said to be extending in all directions. Apart from the capital city of the Southern Empire, this is the largest city in the Southern Empire. It is also the Cao Family Trading Company.
It is a junction point of the transportation network. The warehouse alone outside the city is as large as tens of thousands of square kilometers. There are more than four million people here to manage various transportation networks. It is also considered very high in the ranks of the Cao family business.
It’s a level above, but there are quite a few garrison troops here, all from the elite army of the Southern Empire. A cavalry regiment of the God of Death is here. It can be said that the official forces of the Southern Empire firmly control this place. I think
It's impossible for anything to happen here. The senior officials of the Southern Empire chose this place to hold the talent selection competition, which can be regarded as making the entire empire pay attention to this place.
"Long time no see, Senior God of Death, I really trouble you this time." After meeting, Li Cong said with a smile. For the God of Death, Li Cong is the person he least wants to talk to now, but if this matter is not discussed with Li Cong
If the deal is settled, how can I tell the brothers when I go back? They are all waiting for good news from me. If I tell them that there is no way around this matter, they will probably leave immediately. I have already wasted my life.
They have invested so much manpower and material resources. If they can't get some benefits from them, they will lose all the previous ones. They still have three tenth-level warriors with fighting ability. Even if they want to deal with them, it is not that easy.
Things, their things are also very big.
"Haha, Brother Cao is simply more temperamental than before. I remember when we first met, Brother Cao's career was just starting in the Northern Empire. Now it is completely different from before. Now
The Cao Family Trading Company is present in the four major empires. It would be absolutely impossible for ordinary people to achieve such a thing, but it was so easy for Brother Cao to accomplish it. I really admire him."
God had to be polite to Li Cong at this time. If not, it would probably be impossible to break into Li Cong's heart.
The God of Death himself is an old man. Of course, he knew clearly that Li Cong came here because of the Nine Turns Resurrection Pill. Li Cong knew that this guy must have a good excuse to deal with him. Now he
Knowing what was going on, the God of Death knew a lot in his heart. He told Li Cong all these things, and it was still the same as what Wu Zuoxi said. Wu Zuoxi next to him raised his eyes, and the God of Death said so much from his words.
You can't ask anything, let alone in front of Li Cong, even in front of the emperor's younger brother of the four empires, he would not reveal his flaws, mainly because this guy's psychological quality is really
Great, he won't let himself panic at all. As long as they don't panic, what can you do? You can't directly say that they have something to do with this matter when they talk normally, right? I doubt they can.
Yes, but it’s not okay to say it directly like this, because everyone is not a fool.
"Except for the elixir, this time it's a genius selection battle. This time, our rules are like this. As long as the last ten come out, each of our four empires will have two places, and we can choose among them.
Two people join our empire. You and the other ten large forces can use your own methods to fight for the other two places. Of course. There will be no such restriction for the tenth place from now on. If you are from the Cao Family Trading Company
If there is no objection, you need to pay the 5 billion taels of organizing fees to our Southern Empire royal family within three days." The God of Death said, there will definitely be many powerful young people on the genius station today, these people are important to all
People are very scarce. The four major empires and some large forces will try to draw these people into their own camp, but there are only so many people, so they have established a rule from the beginning.
Yes, that is, people from the four major empires dispatched troops to ensure the safety of the entire genius war and a series of things. Each of their empires has two quotas. No matter who they draw among the top ten, they must follow them.
Come on, this is the overlord clause they made. Although some other large forces want to change it, they have no choice but if the four empires unite, they will become the largest force on the entire continent. Others want to adapt their decision.
That is impossible. These people also have this idea in their minds, but there is nothing they can do without this power.
Only ten large forces can compete for those two people. In fact, there are some outstanding guys in the genius station. For the four major empires and other large forces, this ranking is definitely very meaningful, but for Li Lai
He said that what he needed was not the top one, as long as he was in their echelon. It would be no problem for Li Cong to ask for people from the top ten onwards, because most people would give their own attention to
When you are in the top ten, you can completely focus on those people behind you. This can save you a lot of resources. At least you don't need to face those large forces directly.
I know this will be a brutal fight.
"This is no problem. We will do it according to the requirements of the conference. We just have something to do to get rid of the God of Death. I believe you have heard about our affairs in the Eastern Empire. What I am looking for are four people. Four
The tenth-level warriors who are together, I want their news, if Lord Death God can help me, we from the Cao Family Trading Company will definitely be grateful." Li Cong saw that there was nothing wrong with Death God's face.
When I thought of this, I immediately said what I said. This guy's psychological quality is too strong. Even if you guess with him bit by bit here, it will be useless in the end.
"I know this. Manager Wu has already told me about it. I will let my people do the work after I go back. Brother Cao, don't be too sad. After all, this has already happened, and there is still more to come.
Pay attention to your body. Besides, if Brother Cao wants to raise a plant life, it will be easy. After all, you have a successful one and you have rich experience.
"What the God of Death is thinking about is that it would be great if Li Cong could have another plant life. If so, he wouldn't need to worry about this problem so much. Li Cong would definitely be able to divert his concentration at that time.
Those four people might not need to hide. Maybe they just saw their son dead at this time and they just felt uncomfortable. They might be fine after a while.
"Thank you, but I must find these guys, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable." Li Cong said decisively, and from his determined face, the God of Death felt his own
His heart twitched. If he was really so determined, it would be a matter of time before he discovered them. It seemed like it would be a troublesome thing in the future.
Due to the start of the talent selection competition, the transportation network of the Cao family business is also very good. Their income this month has increased a lot compared to last month, and all kinds of business activities have basically been stimulated.
Li Cong also created a new thing, which is the activity of guessing the winner and loser. Each game has its own periphery. If you want to support your own people, just spend money. If he can win, you
This one is definitely a lot. If you lose him this time, I'm sorry. You can only lose your previous things. Most people don't know what this thing is at the beginning.
What's going on, but Li Cong believes that after a few days of familiarity, this thing will definitely be very powerful. Just think about the gamblers on the earth. This is something that they cannot control.
The four brothers have been staying here in the Southern Empire Palace for several days. The third child’s injury is pretty good. With those precious medicinal materials hanging on him, his life is definitely not in danger now. But if he still
Without the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill, the future is not promising. This is because this guy's ability is pretty good. Otherwise, he would have died long ago, and his injury was really too serious.
"Boss, you said that old boy, the God of Death, can't play tricks on us. It's been half a month. Nothing has happened in this half month. We still have to use part of our consciousness to feel the surroundings.
Things, if possible, I would rather not come to these places. This damn third child already eats a lot every day, why is he not getting better? Do he still have to wait for the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill? That guy is really
Is it that powerful?" The second child took a look at everything around him and felt that nothing had changed. How did he find this place? How did he get involved with the court of the Southern Empire? In the past, they were like this
What people in the world hate the most are those idiots who look down on themselves. If we don't bully them now, it will be impossible to live in this life.
"Although this old guy is usually cunning in doing things, he should have his own bottom line. I guess his bottom line is that if he agrees, things should be easy to handle. Otherwise, we will
We can only rely on ourselves. We also participated in this genius battle back then. This is really nostalgic. In the past, our level was not as high as it is now. People in their thirties can do it.
Those who participate are different from those now. Only those who are twenty years old can participate. How can these people now have so many geniuses?" Thinking of the genius battle that is about to begin, several of them also said here, that of them
Back then, people were all outstanding, but compared with today's geniuses, they still had many shortcomings. They all felt that they couldn't keep up with the changes in the world.
The genius war has been around since their time, and it has a long history now. These people all came from there back then, so now they all think of some of the glory of the past.
At that time, they were all still very young at that time, but now, each of them has reached the tenth level warrior. How many years have passed.
"Brother, there are a series of activities before the genius war starts. All kinds of auctions will definitely start. Maybe someone will have the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill in their hands. If that happens, we will really
It’s a big loss, it’s much cheaper to buy it now than to ask those bastards from Cao’s Trading Company to build it.” The fourth child thought of something, at first they were all anxious about the third child’s matter.
I have to lose my mind, otherwise how could it have passed like this.
"Forget it, since we have left this matter to the God of Death, we can't get those things back. I guess he has been in contact with people from the Cao Family Trading Company now, so it is impossible to get them back now.
Well, besides, how could something that hasn’t appeared for hundreds of years appear this year? If it does appear, it’s probably because we are not very lucky. That thing has no fate with us. It all depends on
By fate, I have seen through a lot of things from this incident to now." The boss looked at the sky in the distance and said. From that time on, he felt very guilty every time he saw the third child, if he didn't want to take revenge.
If so, I guess my brother would not be like this now. There may be many other things. Sometimes things are like this. When you get something, you will think about what you lost. Many people will
To put it this way, he is not a person who does big things. He shouldn't be like this now. What he should consider is the future. But who doesn't have any ideas in his heart?
Indeed, at this moment Li Cong also knew that the series of activities before the Genius War were very good. One of the auctions was held by people from the Cao Family Trading Company. Li Cong wanted to sell some things from the Cao Family Trading Company at this auction.
Most of them are things that Li Cong made himself, and most of them are limited editions. In order to add some weight to the genius battle, and mainly to give the people of the Cao Family Trading Company a high social reputation, Li Cong will auction 4 million magic arrows.
, 10,000 various elixirs, and various low-level weapons. According to calculations by people from the Cao Family Trading Company, the total value is as high as 1 trillion taels of silver. Don't look at this huge amount, this person's purchasing power
But it's very scary. The big families come with the most promising people in the family. If they want to buy something, that family will naturally take out the money at the bottom of the box. Today, Li Cong has arrived.
Let’s take a look at the trading house here. Although the auction has not started yet and will not start until tomorrow, some things have been released before preparation. Now there are at least thousands of people in this hall buying and selling things.
None of these guys have ever seen so many good things in normal times, but now these things are just numbers in their minds, and they just have to spend their money to buy them.
"Master, these are the best magic arrows. Normally, the Cao Family Trading Company sells them in limited quantities. Although there are a lot of sales on the whole road, there are only thirty at most when we come to our place. For
For advanced archers, it is simply not enough, just like now. If there is such an opportunity, I still recommend buying more. And if you buy more of these things, they are also cheap. Look at the current one.
1.6 million taels of silver, 10 of them are equivalent to 15 million taels of silver. 30 of them are 40 million taels of silver, and 100 of them are equivalent to 100 million taels of silver. Of course, we don’t need to buy a hundred of them. That’s really a lot.
, why don’t we just buy 30 of them. This number is affordable for us. These things can increase the combat effectiveness by more than 30%. In this way, we can get a good name in the genius battle.
, It is a very important matter for the family." An old man next to the young master said, he must be the master or the follower of the family, and he is also the kind of very experienced follower. If there is no such person to follow, this
Young guys probably won't choose this. Most of the time they come here based on their own temperament, and they will do things this way.
"Okay, just do what Uncle Fu said. I'm going to see what kind of magic arrows I should buy." The guy took out the banknotes and said, these things are nothing to his family.
In addition, this guy's status in the family is very high, this genius battle is very important, and spending this money on him is nothing to his family.
"Well, after buying this thing, we still need to go to the second floor to buy some elixirs. Now the young master is stuck at the fourth-level warrior level. Although he is about to break through, the genius battle is already coming.
, this time also requires a fifth-level warrior to break through. The selection of this medicinal material is very important. In the past, we could wait slowly, but now we don’t have that time. So does this elixir.
It’s something we have to spend. We brought about 200 million silver to cover the travel expenses when we go back. We can also buy nearly 100 million elixirs. I feel that the second-grade elixir Giant Spirit Pill is a good choice.
Yes, he can make the young master concentrate his energy highly. It is estimated that in three days, 30% of people can break through in these three days. If they cannot break through, they will probably gain a lot of insights. This
How is it?" This old man is half master and half servant. Young masters in big families are usually like this. This time, three people of the same generation came to their family, and each of them came with this money.
, so he must become the best among these three people, otherwise he may not be treated so well after he returns.
The young master nodded. When he came out, his family said that he would have no experience when he came out. He had to learn from others. If he didn't have this, he would probably be nothing after coming out.
You don’t even know, just look at the dazzling products here. These things are very precious. In the past, you could just take them out casually and put them in the county where you are, and they would become rare treasures.
, but now it is different from the past. These things can only be sold on the first floor. You must know that these things on the first floor are nothing.
It was around eight o'clock in the evening when Li Cong came in. It was the time when there were the most people inside. There wasn't such a big trading hall here in the past. The trading volume in one minute now is probably the same as the trading volume in the previous day.
, which also means that I am definitely making money every day at this time. Some small auctions may start at any time. Some of the inventory goods of Cao Family Trading Company have been taken out, and many people here are doing it.
As he was trading, the number of transactions every day was an astonishing number. Even Li Cong was shocked when he saw it. He didn't expect it to be so powerful.
"Master, this is the person in charge here. Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang, this is our big boss. Tell us some of the situations in the past few days. You guys have done a good job. You don't usually
You always say that our master can't see you, but today we are here, don't miss this opportunity one by one." Wu Liu followed Li Cong and said, Wu Liu had been in the Southern Empire in the past, and the people here
Basically, they are all his subordinates. Although the first-level manager is now replaced by Wu Zuoxi, he is still very familiar with these people here. Just like this guy now, he was still a person when he followed him.
As for the person in charge of the county, several years have passed. This kid also relied on his own brains to get to his current position.
"Greetings to Mr. Cao, little Tang Tao," said this shrewd guy. Li Cong could tell that this kid himself was a level four warrior. If he could enter the training camp, he should have a better future.
But it seems that this kid prefers these business activities. This is what the Cao family business is like inside. Maybe you can develop better in this aspect, but as long as you are not very willing, we will not be able to do it to you.
Anything that is forced will naturally allow you to continue doing what you like. Other times, such as when there is a shortage of manpower, it will be enforced, but such times are rare.
Most of the time, they will still respect your own decisions, and they know this very well.
"Yes, you have managed to run this place well. There has been a lot of traffic recently. How is the turnover these days? I guess there are other trading houses in the city. How are their conditions?
." Li Cong said while looking at the bustling crowd below. Looking at their clothes, he knew that those who could come here would not come here if they didn't have thousands of dollars. Each of these people are powerful figures from all over the world.
, and they are all young people, and their families are willing to spend money on them. If there are some older people, or people with little potential, probably no one will be willing to spend money on them, and it is not worth it.
"Master, today is the fifteenth day that the flow of people here has increased. From now until the end of the genius war, it will probably take thirty to fifty days to return to the previous level. Now the daily transaction volume exceeds
Fifty units (one unit of silver in the Cao Family Trading Company is 10 billion taels of silver). If a large-scale auction starts, this number may rise two to three times. After all, we are all there with some of the more powerful things.
They just took it out at that time, and the money in the hands of these people now is not very much, most of them need to wait slowly." The guy thought for a while and said, he was indeed a little nervous when repaying Li Cong.
Yes, I met Li Cong once many years ago, and it has been ten years since then.
"Well, it's very good. It is indeed possible to sell it, but we must also pay attention to it. These people must have a lot of good things with them. We also have to recycle these things. Although it is possible that we
There is no need to sell him, but after the genius war is over, the peace will return to the past. At that time, it is time to sell these things. Tell the employees below that if this matter can be ended smoothly, each person will be given three more
A month's salary and half a month's holiday. Don't be afraid that the boss can't afford it. As long as it's your hard work, everyone will be given a month's salary today to encourage you." Li Cong usually only needs to arrive when he arrives.
Any place has to give those people some benefits. They work here, and the Cao Family Trading Company will not care about them. It is okay to let out some information, but this information must be disclosed to the top management of the Cao Family Trading Company.
You can only see it, for example, what kind of things they have here. If you sell it to those outside, the merchants can not only get money, but also get more people to snap up their goods. This is simply a win-win situation.
thing.
"Give me back my sister, you bad guy, give me back my sister..." Just as Li Cong finished speaking, someone was yelling below. Li Cong saw a teenage child below.
Several people gathered around and said loudly. Those people looked at this boy with pity on their faces. What is going on? Isn't it possible that we still trade people here?
"Boy, what are you kidding about? Don't you know where this place is? Damn it, see clearly, this is the trading house of the Cao Family Trading Company. I really don't know how you, a little bastard, got in and saw the guards over there.
? If you are messing around, they will kill you immediately if they come over. Even people from the government would not dare to come over and cause trouble for them. We rescued you on the way and took you to this city. Could it be that we
Don't you need to pay me? Of course your sister paid off the debt at my house. Otherwise, how could she have taken advantage of you so much? Master, I don't run a charity shop, so you better be careful.
"A guy who didn't look like a good person grabbed the child and said, this child looks like an ordinary person, and this young master is a fourth-level warrior, and he should also be here to participate in the genius battle. What happened to his sister? Li Cong
He also thought of his sister, who has been missing for decades. I don’t know what happened to them on earth. They should not be young now. Thinking of this, Li Cong walked over there.
It seemed that his boss was about to retaliate, so Wu Liu quickly winked at Tang Tao, telling everyone at the door to be on high alert. These people must not be allowed to go out.
"You're talking nonsense. We agreed to escort us here with twenty taels of silver. My sister gave you the bracelet. If it's not enough, I have another one here for you." The boy said and took something from his sleeve.
He took out an exquisite bracelet, and the people around him couldn't take their eyes away after taking a look at it. Damn, these people are so mean. A bracelet like this costs at least tens of thousands of taels.
It's made of silver. If that one is the same as the one now, it's only priced at 2 silver. It's so nonsense. When they thought about this, the color wasn't very good when they looked at these guys. Are they thinking of going out and killing these guys?
Well, they have a lot of stuff on them.
Hao Shi? Li Cong recognized the bracelet after taking one look at it. This is the magician's dream. He searched for it for a long time but could not find it. This bracelet is definitely not an ordinary bracelet, it should be a magic bracelet.
Yes, and looking at the patterns on it, it is definitely not a simple thing. When Li Cong was about to pass by, a magician next to him saw Li Cong’s eyes, and immediately walked in front of Li Cong, and a magician appeared.
Sir, many people in this room have gathered around. Although magicians are often seen here, it is not very common for magicians to meddle in other people's business.
"Let the child go. If you have anything, you can tell me." The magician spoke. Li Cong knew that he must have taken a fancy to the thing in the child's hand. Forget it, he would just see what happened.
That's all. If he could prevent this child from suffering, he wouldn't say anything. If he wanted to rob by force like those people, he wouldn't be able to do it.
"What do I have to say to you, you idiot..." This guy seemed to be arrogant in normal times, but now that he saw that the person behind him was a magician, he swallowed all the words in his mouth,
Damn, this is a seventh-level magic stone. It can kill you in seconds. Even if you are escorted by two seventh-level warriors, it will be useless. Insulting a magician by yourself is in accordance with the rules of the magician union.
I was wrong. If these magicians really pursue me, they will be killed.
Phew!! Before this guy could continue to speak, a fireball spell burned off this guy's eyebrows. Although his guards around him wanted to come up, they didn't dare to see the look in the magician's eyes.
Coming up, this is the privilege of magicians. If they are in places where no one can see them in the Warcraft Mountains, they will naturally dare to do anything, but this is not where they are. There are so many people watching here. If they are
It would be fun if you really beat the magician.
"Hmph, you people are simply bastards. Don't you know how much this thing is worth? Twenty taels of silver? Even if it is one hundred thousand times the twenty taels of silver, it can't compare to the true value of this bracelet. You guys
People are so hateful, where is this child's sister?" the magician said coldly. People around him thought that this magician would also take advantage of the situation, but they didn't expect that they would say this directly. Li
I also feel from the bottom of my heart that this guy will take advantage of others. Now it seems that not all people in the world are bad people, at least the person in front of me is a good person.
"At Fulong Inn, they are all there, let's... let's go..." The young master was already injured. He would never dare to do anything to this kid again. It would not be easy for him to leave now.
The magician is already standing in front of this guy. It seems that he must definitely take care of this matter instead of just saying a few words.
"Do you think I am a fool? If you leave now, can this child see his sister later? Bring people here immediately. I will wait for you in the rest area over there. If you come
If not, your young master doesn’t have to leave. Seeing the wounds on his face, if you can’t give him proper treatment in two hours, I think he will be like this for the rest of his life. Even if he is saved,
Okay, there will be scars on this face, so you can figure it out one by one." The magician pulled the child and walked towards the rest area. The people behind him looked at these people fiercely, although
Both of his roots are sixth-level warriors. The young master's bodyguards have seventh-level warriors, but those seventh-level warriors dare not take action. Two sixth-level warriors are quite powerful, mainly because their masters have different powers.
, otherwise they wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant.
The children glanced at the people around them hesitantly, but still put away their bracelets. This was the only thing their father left them. They had already met several people on the street.
, it is very good to be able to keep things in this city. Now that the two siblings are separated again, it took him several days to find them. To be honest, this kid's luck is pretty good.
Now, there are so many people in the city, and it is already very difficult for him to find them. Now that a magician is here to help him, there is really smoke rising from the ancestral grave.
This matter is over here, the magician will definitely come out to buy these two bracelets in the rest area, but Li Cong suddenly thought that he had discovered something. He is a space magician, and the people here have pockets.
If he wanted to know what was in it, he could know it. He saw that there were several bracelets in the child's pocket, but they were all fake. Thinking of this, he finally understood what was going on. Haha, these
The charlatans have actually come to their own territory. They must be taught a lesson. They are so courageous. Even magicians dare to deceive them. They are really amazing. (To be continued...)
