Chapter 424 Beware of the Temple!
"Lord of Dragon City!"
Not long after Feng Chi left, the two girls came to visit.
"Two temple messengers are looking for me. Is there something you need?"
Xiao Yu stretched and leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed.
He looked at the two temple messengers, his gaze profound and unfathomable.
Yilong thought for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "We've come to say goodbye."
"Saying goodbye?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise, "You just arrived, and you're already leaving?"
"Hmph! Just talking about this makes me angry!" Bayin said angrily.
Yes! They endured wind and rain and slept outdoors for one or two months along the way.
They had just arrived in Longcheng and were hoping to enjoy a few days of peace and quiet.
As a result, an order came down from the temple, and they had no choice but to return to that cold place once again.
Accept all sorts of inhuman orders to kill, or... be killed!
"Before you leave, I want to give you a piece of advice: be careful of the temple!"
With a solemn expression, Yilong, the blonde-haired, golden-eyed woman, said, "Our summons back to the temple this time is likely related to your Dragon City. The temple probably already knows about Dragon City's existence and may take action against you at any time."
……
Two days later, at dinner time, in the City Lord's Mansion restaurant.
"How's the business going these past two days?" Xiao Yu asked the red-haired girl.
"Hmm, it seems to have declined quite a bit."
After Honglian responded, she opened her small notebook and began to report, "On the day the auction ended, the turnover exceeded five million! But the next day, it dropped back to 321 million... and today, it's only 246 million..."
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Yu nodded gently.
The high turnover on the day of the auction was due to special circumstances; it only lasted one day.
A day earlier, the Lord of Sunset City and the Lord of Water Moon City had come to say goodbye, taking a large number of people with them.
You should know that this group of people are the richest, and they all have the highest level of consumption.
Every day, we must eat on the third floor of the food court.
Every night, we must stay on the third floor of the Longmen Inn.
Everything has to be the best.
Especially the City Lord of Water Moon City, this alluring woman loves to compete.
She alone spends tens of thousands every day.
With these people gone, daily revenue naturally dropped significantly.
"I estimate that it may drop further tomorrow!" Honglian said again, her pretty face full of worry.
Based on past experience, whenever Longcheng arrives at a new place, the first few days are always a period of explosive consumption, because Longcheng has a variety of delicious food and novel items that attract the curiosity of locals.
In the past few days, regardless of whether they were local officials or ordinary citizens, people flocked to the area to spend money.
However, once the novelty wears off, consumption will enter a period of sluggishness.
"It's normal, your current results are already very good," Xiao Yu said with a smile, trying to comfort you.
Before coming to the City of Ruins, I barely had any income each day.
The auction has been over for several days, and there are still two or three million left every day, which is very good.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Tell me when the turnover drops below two million."
"Oh, I've got it." The red-haired girl took out a pen and wrote it down in her notebook.
Based on the current spending habits of her customers, she already had a rough idea of the timeframe.
It's estimated that it will take at most three to five days.
However, if she could think of a way to do some promotions...
Motivate the customers; maybe we can make another profit.
"Just let nature take its course."
Seeing Honglian's face contorted in a frown, as if she were seriously considering a solution, Xiao Yu gently smoothed her furrowed brows and reminded her with a smile, "Making money isn't what I mean, I mean doing business. You have to know when to stop. If you fleece all the sheep at once, there will be no future."
If it's a small place, once you've been to Longcheng, it's hard to go back a second time.
Let's just go all in and make a killing here, even if we fleece everyone.
We're still short over 30 million for our second Tier 9 pet.
If possible, it's best to earn enough money before leaving.
But the City of Ruins is different; with its teleportation array, it has become a large transit station.
Major powers like Sunset City and Ghost Lantern City revolve around them, conducting regular transactions.
What Xiao Yu wanted to do was a long-term business.
A drop in turnover below two million indicates a weak market.
At this point, one should know when to stop and not go too far.
Anyway, Xiao Yu will set up a teleportation array soon, and then he can trade with the City of Ruins regularly.
"Oh, I've got it." Hearing this, Honglian seemed to understand.
Xiao Yu continued, "What about student recruitment and the recruitment of blacksmiths? How are they going?"
The city of ruins is so large, we need to recruit more reserve talents.
Honglian reached out and tucked a strand of fiery red hair that fell beside her ear, saying, "According to my brother's wishes, we have been recruiting people from the entire City of Ruins."
Previously, some commoners wanted to send their children to study in Dragon City, but they couldn't afford the living expenses. After you established the work-study program for impoverished students, you recruited two or three hundred more students. Also... Lord Xueye City contributed two million to sponsor the enrollment of two hundred impoverished students.
"Hmm, not bad." Hearing this, Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction.
I never expected the Lord of Snow Night City to be so farsighted; he's sponsoring a group of students studying abroad.
He probably never imagined that this would be like throwing good money after bad, a complete waste!
Xiao Yu was overthinking this; he would never have imagined the true thoughts of the Snow Night City Lord!
“However, there’s a problem now. There are too many students, and the academic subjects are severely lacking,” Honglian said to Xiao Yu, looking somewhat troubled.
"Well, that's a question." Xiao Yu lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Just as the red-haired girl said, there are only a few teachers in the entire academy now.
Academic teachers: Xiao Yu, Hong Lian, Xiao Yu, Ying Zi.
Combat and Survival Instructors: Chenlong, Tienan, Heima, and other Tier 5 and 6 powerhouses...
In Xiao Yu's mind, there was a very suitable teacher.
I haven't figured out how to get them to come to Longcheng yet.
Finally, he thought for a moment and said, "In that case, we can only have the academic classes for half a day each day."
The academy model they created is very similar to some schools in their previous life that combined literary and martial arts training.
Students spend half their time studying academic subjects and the other half practicing martial arts.
"Three classes every morning, one hour each. We'll also select a few outstanding students to supervise everyone's self-study. As for the new teacher..."
Xiao Yu stroked his chin, starting to make plans in his mind.
The City of Ruins is, after all, a top-tier metropolis.
Unlike those small places, the upper class has no shortage of food, and there are many literate and educated people.
However, the academy is Xiao Yu's talent reserve school, and all talents must be used by him!
He cannot accept it if some teachers are randomly brought in and lead the students astray.
Therefore, the academy has always had only a few teachers, all of whom are people Xiao Yu absolutely trusts!
Ding!
After dinner, Xiao Yu was preparing to go to the hot springs with the women when he heard a shout.
"Lord City Lord, the City Lord came to visit on a snowy night, saying he has something to discuss with you."
