#1835 - The Weird Clan That Was Tricked (Part 2)
"The Blue family is proactively showing us goodwill. They've even made promises, which means there's absolutely no trap!"
"I didn't expect the creatures in this small world to be so different from those outside. They aren't as mercenary and are incredibly enthusiastic towards newcomers like us."
"These are good people! They're providing so many free benefits, saving our Strange race a lot of expenses. In the future, our Strange race must befriend them!"
"We must befriend them! There are only advantages and no disadvantages to befriending such a kind force."
...
And just like that, the Blue family's free house-building service began.
The Blue family covered the cost of materials, labor, and everything else.
Eventually, the Strange race felt a little embarrassed.
Taking advantage is permissible, but the side that's always taking advantage will inevitably feel uneasy.
They offered to give the Blue family some money for the materials, but the Blue family refused.
This act genuinely moved the higher-ups of the Strange race.
They suddenly realized that migrating to this small world was the best thing for the Strange race.
The environment here is good, and the creatures are so kind.
The houses were built quickly, and even though they didn't pay, the Blue family executed the project to the highest standards.
Looking at the Strange race's residence, which had no corner-cutting whatsoever, the corners of these Strange race higher-ups' mouths couldn't help but curve into smiles.
"This will be the place where our Strange race will live and thrive. Compared to other branches of the Strange race, we are definitely the lucky ones."
"Isn't this life even more comfortable and carefree than it was in the Seventh Star Ring? This kind of life is simply intoxicating and addictive."
"Quickly prepare a generous gift for the Blue family. They've treated us so well; we can't show up empty-handed, or we'll seem ignorant of social graces."
"Exactly! The Blue family has shown us such kindness. We must prepare a generous gift, and we must maintain friendly relations with the Blue family for generations to come!"...
When the Blue family of the small world saw this generous gift, they naturally accepted it and also made a 'small request'.
That was to allow the Blue family to open some shops on the Strange race's territory.
After learning about this 'small request', the higher-ups of the Strange race agreed without even considering it.
This matter was too minor, and with the Blue family residing in the Strange race's territory, the two sides could communicate better.
As the days passed, the higher-ups of the Strange race quickly realized that something was wrong.
They had arrived with bulging wallets, but it hadn't been long, so how did their wallets become empty?
After some analysis, they discovered that their clansmen were buying too many things.
Most of these things were flashy but impractical luxury goods.
After their wallets were emptied, the Strange race didn't blame the Blue family.
The Blue family had proactively helped them so much, and buying and selling was ultimately a matter of mutual consent.
The Blue family hadn't forced their clansmen to buy anything.
Blaming the Blue family would be quite inconsiderate.
The higher-ups of the Strange race instructed their clansmen to pay attention to daily expenses and not to buy everything they saw.
But already deeply entrenched in the Blue family's web of goods, how could the clansmen of the Strange race listen to such advice?
They outwardly obeyed, but behind the scenes, they continued as they pleased.
The Blue family used a free initial offer to empty the Strange race's wallets.
At this point, the winner was preparing to step up.
Ying Zhi's father, Ying Gan, and Shi Ci were secretly plotting how to saddle the Strange race with debt.
After some plotting, the lending business quietly unfolded on the Strange race's territory.
Soon, the Strange race was burdened with massive debts and high interest rates...
It wasn't until this point that the higher-ups of the Strange race realized something was wrong.
"Holy crap, what's going on? How did our Strange race end up with such massive debts...?"
"We can't blame anyone else. It's all our clansmen's fault for being so useless, knowing only how to buy, buy, buy, which led to this situation."
"This is terrible. It's unexpected that this would happen. Now we have to figure out how to resolve this."
"Resolve this? How? We don't have enough cultivation resources anymore..."
The Su family watched the Blue family's and Ying family's shenanigans, speechless.
Su He's father, Su Shang, and his eldest brother, Su Yun, were together, discussing the matter.
Su Shang said, "This Blue family and Ying family are really worrying!"
Su Yun said, "Haha, they're ripping off the Strange race like this. If the Strange race reflects on this later, aren't they making enemies for themselves?"
Su Shang said, "Making enemies is unlikely, but it's definitely making things difficult."
Su Yun said, "Our Su family should play the role of a good person here, providing the Strange race with some appropriate support and assistance."
Su Shang said, "Yes, let's do as you say."
This wasn't because the Su family had a sudden pang of conscience, but because the Blue family and Ying family had already done all the dirty work.
If the Su family were to rip people off now, the only consequence would be to attract hatred.
Attracting hatred for the Blue family and Ying family? The Su family said they wouldn't be so stupid.
Since they couldn't rip people off, then analyzing it from a benefit perspective, the only option was to help the other party.
The Su family sent people to provide the Strange race with a sum of cultivation resources, free of charge and without a repayment date, when they were at their most difficult.
This allowed them to cover some of the high-interest rates and debt holes.
This act earned the Strange race's complete goodwill.
As the saying goes, sending charcoal in snowy weather is better than adding flowers to brocade.
With the Su family's help, the Strange race finally caught its breath.
Then, a long period of working to repay the debt began...
At this moment, the Strange race hadn't realized that they had been completely and thoroughly set up from the moment they arrived in the small world.
"The Su family is truly righteous! They gave us a sum of cultivation resources without a time limit when our Strange race was at its most difficult."
"It's all our clansmen's fault for being useless, but then again, it's a good thing they're useless, or we wouldn't have seen this happen."
"The forces within the small world are truly friendly and harmonious, well, except for that Ying family, who gave us too high an interest rate!"
"Let's focus on repaying the debt. The Su family can help us temporarily, but they can't help us forever..."
When the other forces in the entire small world saw the Strange race's situation, they immediately remembered the days when they had been dominated.
They were the first batch to step into the deep pits of the Blue family and Ying family.
If Qin Liang hadn't stopped this matter later, who knows how many years they would have been working for the Blue family and Ying family for free.
Of course, they were also to blame for this.
After all, the Blue family and Ying family hadn't forced them to step into the deep pits; it was all because they lacked self-control.
Those involved are confused, while onlookers are clear.
These onlookers had no intention of giving the Strange race any advice.
After all, they were happier seeing the Strange race unlucky.
This had nothing to do with race.
It was purely that after they were unlucky, they also hoped that others would be the same.
Besides, if they were to advise the Strange race, they would definitely offend the Blue family and Ying family.
They could only watch the excitement.
Qin Liang and Qin Lin naturally knew about the Strange race's plight.
Qin Liang said with a wry smile, "The Strange race was taught a harsh lesson as soon as they arrived."
Qin Lin said, "Almost all the other forces in the small world have been taught a lesson by the Blue family's and Ying family's shenanigans!"
"These two families really make people not know what to say!"
