CHAPTER 404: CHAPTER 380: NO BOTTLENECK?_4

The two of them were now even more reassured and readily agreed to the proposal.

Shi Nian only gave them a framework, but did not elaborate on the specifics.

If it were someone else, she might have to explain everything in great detail.

But as these two were children of destiny, she only needed to outline the plan, and they would be able to perfect it themselves.

It might even turn out better than her original idea.

However, as the plan was just getting started, Shi Nian still felt uneasy and decided to follow the two to see how things would unfold.

Qing Yi and Lin Lei first carefully discussed the specifics, one meticulous, the other bold, and they complemented each other well, quickly coming up with an initial scheme.

Then, they prepared to take action.

Shi Nian also executed the Sky Escape Technique, following them silently.

Qing Yi and Lin Lei went straight to the nearest city.

They set up a table and hung a banner above it.

It read: Win Immortal Crystals in the Lottery.

The lottery box was divided into four categories.

The first box was for low-grade Immortal Crystals; with just ten low-grade Immortal Crystals, one could participate, with the potential to win up to ten thousand low-grade Immortal Crystals.

After that came middle-grade, high-grade, and top-grade Immortal Crystals, respectively. But each box’s top prize was a full ten thousand.

If it was for top-grade Immortal Crystals, one could indeed win ten thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals.

This stall was set up in a secluded spot, without many passersby.

Once Qing Yi had set everything up, Lin Lei pretended to be a customer and happened to pass by the stall.

"A lottery? Up to ten thousand?" Lin Lei’s voice was exaggeratedly loud, attracting the attention of passersby.

"This couldn’t be a scam, could it?" Lin Lei said dubiously.

Qing Yi remained calm: "You’ll know once you try."

"Then I’ll try the low-grade Spirit Stone lottery! If it’s a fraud, I’ll smash your stall," Lin Lei declared and indeed bought a lottery ticket.

The result.

He won five thousand low-grade Immortal Crystals.

Qing Yi counted them out on the spot, and an ecstatic Lin Lei left, muttering about coming back later.

The watching crowd became thoroughly curious.

Was there really such a good deal to be had in trading less for more?

Some were eager to try, while others looked at Qing Yi with ill intent.

The young girl seemed young but apparently of no small means.

Before Qing Yi received the next customer, she was first met with a surprise attack.

Attacks and counterattacks are the norm in the Lost Land.

Prepared for this, Qing Yi calmly dodged and then precisely targeted the attacker, sending a Spiritual Nail flying straight into the assailant’s Dantian.

The attacker screamed and died on the spot.

"Those who come for the lottery, I welcome you, but those with ulterior motives..." Qing Yi smiled: "I’m even more welcoming."

In front of everyone, she thoroughly looted the attacker’s belongings and displayed them on the table for all to see.

This ruthless display effectively deterred the crowd.

"...What if we win the big prize and you go back on your word?" someone mustered the courage to ask.

"I have only one thing to say: believe it or not," Qing Yi said indifferently.

One person hesitated, then stepped forward.

He chose the top-grade Crystal Stone prize pool.

This time, for ten top-grade Crystal Stones, he actually drew one hundred.

The man watched Qing Yi warily, afraid she would renege on the deal.

Qing Yi settled the debt calmly.

With the Storage Bag in hand, the man quickly left.

Could this really make money?

Was this young girl here to play the role of the generous donor?

The crowd buzzed with excitement, and Qing Yi’s business suddenly boomed.

On the first day, Qing Yi raised the odds, and most people made a small profit.

By the second day, the odds were back to normal, and most people began to lose money. However, eager for the grand prize of ten thousand, they were still willing to take a gamble.

Qing Yi’s business became increasingly hot.

Meanwhile, Lin Lei disguised himself and started the same process in other cities.

These two fated individuals felt things were going exceptionally smoothly.

Shi Nian, however, was somewhat confused.

No, that’s not right.

This business could make money, and those with ulterior motives quickly became aware of it.

Qing Yi and Lin Lei only showed the strength of a Golden Immortal, so would the Dark Demons not think of interfering?

But Shi Nian was unaware.

She had previously killed ten Peak Dark Demons, and currently, those three Demon Emperors were still at war, a legend of a demon-killing Dark Demon was spreading, and the tale had even reached the Immortal Domain.

Now, both Immortals and Dark Demons of the Immortal Domain were on edge, none daring to show themselves easily, fearing they might become a target of that demon.

As a result, Qing Yi and Lin Lei’s small business initially went uninterfered with.

By the time people thought of getting involved as the business slowly expanded.

They had already started promoting an Immortal World version of All-Worlds Communication.

Here, the primary function of All-Worlds Communication became to announce lottery results. All-Worlds Communication would publish a set of six numbers every day. People could bet on these numbers within All-Worlds Communication, and hitting all six would win the grand prize.

With the novelty introduced, it catered exactly to the taste of these desperados.

All-Worlds Communication’s sales were booming, and the amounts being bet were rising dramatically.

By this stage.

The business had spread far and wide; Qing Yi and Lin Lei didn’t need to set up a stall every day, as many shops wanted the sales rights for All-Worlds Communication, and they just needed to deliver some units.

A month later.

Shi Nian marveled at the profits.

Speaking of making money, this was certainly the way to do it.

"You two continue to expand the business, and if anything comes up, call me through the Token anytime, and I can get there quickly," said Shi Nian.

She had now advanced the Sky Escape Technique to the Fifth Layer, and her speed when traversing the void was almost as fast as Instantaneous Movement.

"Yes," Qing Yi and Lin Lei replied promptly.

Shi Nian went to find Emperor Jiang directly.

Wasn’t Senior Emperor Jiang eager to join forces against those Demon Emperors and Immortal Emperors?

As for the Immortal Emperors, never mind them, but those three Demon Emperors, reportedly for some unknown reason, are now fighting amongst themselves; isn’t this an excellent opportunity given by the heavens?

With the Fifth Layer of the Sky Escape Technique, Shi Nian’s courage grew even further; even if it wasn’t foolproof, she could always run away.

Moreover, Senior Emperor Jiang was there.

Back in the day, Emperor Jiang was the fierce one who fought against three, even five Demon Emperors alone and was never at a disadvantage even in a one against eight battle.

Fighting only three Demon Emperors shouldn’t be a problem.

Shi Nian once again arrived at the cultivation chamber of Emperor Jiang.

Emperor Jiang looked up and glanced idly: "Girl, why are you here again? Why aren’t you focusing on your cultivation, wandering around all day? When will you be able to break through to Immortal Emperor at this rate?"

He laid out the senior’s attitude and gave her a few lessons.

Shi Nian blinked innocently: "Senior Emperor Jiang, I’ve already broken through to Immortal Emperor."

"Already broken through? Are you joking? I..." As Emperor Jiang spoke, he subconsciously scanned her with his thoughts.

Then.

He stiffened right there.

His whole being exuded four words.

Incredulous disbelief!

What’s going on?

It had only been a month since the last meeting, when this girl was at the Peak of Profound Immortal. That cultivation speed was already outrageous.

And now?

She had become an Immortal Emperor directly?

Were there no bottlenecks in between?
