Douluo: The First Empire

Chapter 17 Gathering the world’s wealth



Tiandou City has become quiet late at night, but the lights are still brightly lit in the Tiandou Newspaper Office. The current Tiandou Newspaper Office is also very small, and the editing, typesetting, and printing of the newspaper are all done here.

Regarding current affairs, we also collect rumors about Tiandou City and Lu Yu's dictation. The main direction is various entertainment pages, songs, novels and gossip.

Although the Tiandou Newspaper's newspaper is called Tiandou Weekly and is naturally published once a week when nothing happens, the right to speak is still in Lu Yu's hands. No one dares to object to Lu Yu's desire to publish an additional page.

Therefore, these exploited social animals have changed from a good 24-[-]-[-] to today's [-]-hour and all-night work.

However, Lu Yu is not a bad person. At least he has snacks and refreshment tea in place, so he can be regarded as a conscientious capitalist.

Shui Yue'er moved her chair to Shui Bing'er and complained:

"Ah, I've been working all day today, I think I should go back to sleep."

Shui Bing'er touched her sister's head and said:

"Okay, there are not many times like this today, and today's bonus is three Gintama coins. Then you can buy the dress you have always wanted."

Upon hearing this, Shui Yue'er hugged Shui Bing'er's arm and coquettishly said, "Thank you, sister.

" Shui Bing'er had no choice but to let him hold one hand, and she was annotating the draft of current political news with one hand. After being frightened by Lu Yu, Shui Bing'er no longer followed her own will to smear the court, but She is not soft-spoken, and the articles she writes are still very offensive.

After working until early in the morning, all the newspapers had been printed. Shui Bing'er walked to the president's office and knocked on the door to ask him to let everyone go back to rest.

But after knocking several times, there was no response, so he opened the door directly. When he came in, he only saw Lu Yu lying on his back on a chair, sleeping soundly. When he walked closer, he saw that Lu Yu even slept until a wisp of saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Thinking that he was working overtime all night, but this unscrupulous boss was sleeping so soundly here, he couldn't help but summon his martial spirit and shouted:

"The first soul skill, freezing."

Ice blue soul power enveloped Lu Yu's body, and little ice crystals began to appear. Just when Lu Yu was about to be frozen in the next second, the peacock martial spirit appeared from behind Lu Yu.

A pair of wings protected Lu Yu, colorful rays of light fell, and the ice-blue soul power melted like ice and snow meeting the sun.

Shui Bing'er, who had failed to hit her, had not recovered yet. What kind of martial spirit was that just now? It was so beautiful. And why didn't the first spirit skill have any effect?

Unwilling to admit defeat, Shui Bing'er was ready to try again. This time she would not hold back any more. Just as she raised her hand to use her soul skills, Lu Yu on the recliner was also awakened by the previous soul power.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a figure standing beside him, and he was also shining with the light of soul skills.By the time Shui Bing'er tried to dissipate her soul power, it was already too late, and Lu Yu was suddenly frozen into a big ice block.

When Lu Yu wore a blanket and went to announce the bonus after work, Shui Bing'er was following closely behind him, showing his usual arrogance. Lu Yu coughed:

"Minister of Water, could you please help me get a glass of hot water?"

Shui Bing'er behind her puffed up her cheeks, snorted dissatisfied, and reluctantly went to pour the water.

The third page of Tiandou Weekly does not have the alluring language of the past, but only names and numbers.

Qibao Glazed Sect Ning Fengzhi has a deposit of 100 million gold soul coins and a monthly profit of [-] gold soul coins.

Qibao Glazed Sect Chenxin has a deposit of 100 million gold soul coins and a monthly profit of [-] gold soul coins.

Hu Hongce has a deposit of 50 gold soul coins and a monthly profit of [-] gold soul coins.

Shen Zonghui has a deposit of 40 gold soul coins and a monthly profit of [-] gold soul coins.

There is no one in this room who has little savings, and no one dares to make a deposit by himself. Lu Yu thought to himself, from now on, it will not be just a round or flat one.

The strings of names and numbers impacted the hearts of the people of Tiandou, especially the high monthly profits that made them excited.

There are already so many big shots who believe it, so he can't run away anymore, and if I invest less, I won't lose much if I run away.

This is the inner thought of most people now. Even if the sky falls, there will be someone high to support it. As long as I escape fast enough, it will be fine. But these are the people who are harvested every time.

By noon, there was already a long queue in front of Tiandou Bank. These are people who are currently putting it into practice and are willing to take a little risk. There are more people waiting to see the fate of these people.

Now these people have chosen to save a few silver soul coins to try the water, and few even deposit gold soul coins. However, although yesterday's opening ceremony was heavy enough, it was just a one-time deal. These are the real customers now.

Tiandou Bank is now under the control of Li Siqing. Currently, he is the only one who has the ability to reassure Lu Yu. The small deposits in the early stage are very important, but it makes Lu Yu very headache. He can only find someone he can trust. Come take care of it.

When Lu Yu arrived at the top floor of Tiandou Bank, Li Siqing was looking at the account books with sweat on his face. When he saw Lu Yu coming, he trotted over quickly and said anxiously:

"Your Majesty, if we calculate it based on our interest rate, the monthly interest on yesterday's deposit alone would have reached 87 gold soul coins. We won't be able to make up for it when the time comes."

Lu Yu sat down with a smile, and asked Li Siqing, who was like an ant on a hot pot, to sit down as well, and said comfortingly:

"You won't be in a hurry tonight. How much do you think you can collect today?"

Li Siqing suddenly didn't understand:

"I also saw it when I came here. Their deposits are only a few silver soul coins and one or two gold soul coins. Today, the maximum is only two thousand gold soul coins."

Lu Yu stretched out his finger and shook it:

"No, no, no, I will receive at least [-] gold soul coins today."

"But no matter how much money you make, you still have to pay monthly interest."

Lu Yu brought the topic here and pretended to have a profound smile:

"Yes, no matter how much money you collect, you will have to pay monthly interest, every month."

Li Siqing also understood that this was what the prince had expected, and immediately began to think about it. But for a moment, from the perspective of the entire bank and the account book in his hand, Li Siqing suddenly realized and said excitedly:

"Your Majesty, you want to use this month's savings to pay off next month's monthly interest? But..."

Lu Yu also had a cowardly expression and said:

"In terms of principal deposits, everyone who yesterday will not get it back at all, as long as the monthly interest is paid on time, and those who hope to make a profit will not easily get back their principal, but will increase their investment step by step. No one would kill a hen for the eggs."

"And I don't need to last long, just three years."

Li Siqing bowed respectfully and said:

"I am willing to serve the crown prince."

Lu Yu held up Li Siqing and asked him to continue handling the accounts. He went to the tightly guarded underground vault and showed the Crown Prince's token. The place was now fully taken over by the Peacock Secret Guards.

Unless the Titled Douluo broke through forcefully, he would not be able to get in even if he tried his best. Lu Yu picked up several soul guides and took away 800 million gold soul coins. He only needed to leave a small amount of working capital here.

He handed the soul guide to a secret guard, took out a secret letter and said:

"Go to the ordnance factory on the outskirts of the city to find Director Wang Ke and ask for five skilled workers who are fully familiar with the production of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow to be brought to the border."

The secret guard took the items and disappeared. The Peacock Secret Guard is a force cultivated by the Lu family for 300 years. The personnel are all from the province where the Peacock Guard is stationed. Those with martial souls suitable for the battle formation will be sent to the army for training. Those with better talents will be sent to the army. He is a candidate for the secret guard.

There are currently only 134 official Peacock Secret Guards. The specific cultivation level, name, and martial spirit are the highest level secrets, but the Soul King is the lowest foundation for the official secret guards.There are countless informal secret guards responsible for gathering intelligence from all over the world.

The peacock secret guards are the ears and sharp claws of the palace, the most feared power.

Now that the funds and drawings have been taken to the most entrenched place in the palace, the Peacock Guards will be Lu Yu's opportunity as long as the ordnance is mass-produced.

In the past few days, Lu Yu went to the Tiandou newspaper office every day to provoke the arrogant Bing Fenghuang. It was because Shui Bing'er had frostbitten him that day. One day, he asked her to pour water, and the other time, he made her pinch her shoulders and hit her back. It felt so uncomfortable. .But it was a pity that Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes and didn't look at herself the whole time.

In fact, nothing happened to Lu Yu. After being nourished by the fountain of life and nourished by the Qiantongtianju, he could freeze for half an hour without any problem, but there was no beauty to serve him.

Lu Yu even gave her the task of compiling Tiandou Bank's running accounts.

The Tiandou Weekly should now be renamed the Tiandou Daily. Every day it publishes the Tiandou Bank’s account deposits from the previous day. The minimum deposit has now reached one gold soul coin, and the silver soul coin has no place to report. .

I thought I would be addicted to the joy of counting small amounts of money in recent months, but a major event that caused a sensation in the Tiandou Empire grabbed all the headlines in the Tiandou Daily.
