Chapter 12 - Slave Market, Building a Chamber of Commerce

The Slave Market was positioned in a very secretive place, although they are protected by a powerhouse. Being in the spotlight was still not good as it would receive too much attention.

Because of this, no one ever questioned the existence of this market that sold slave. Not because they don't care about them, its just that the person behind it was comparable to the emperor himself.

Feng Shaotian walked inside the establishment to buy slaves. He wants to buy as many as he can and make them his subordinates. In his perspective, slaves are more trustworthy than anyone. If he found some with high potential, he might consider giving him/her important position in his future army.

Feng Shaotian just stepped in when a beautiful girl attendant enthusiastically greeted him. The attendant wore revealing clothes, igniting mens dėsɨrė for possession.

"Good day young master, do you want to buy slaves or me?" she asked smiling brilliantly while cleverly showing her bȯȯbs.

Feng Shaotian has a weird expression in his face as he replied, "I want some slaves, any recommendations?" unperturbed by the girls behavior.

"Of course young master this is my job, we've sorted out all their information and job specifications. We have F rank to S rank slave with different profession, there are also some that is good at cooking, managing business, a seasoned general from the army, and many more". The attendant explained detailedly.

"I want Double and Triple S rank warrior, magician, healer, etc." Feng Shaotian said.

"As for Double and Triple S rank slave, they are only available for auction" the attendant said happily thinking that it was a big fish this time.

"May I know their prices?" Feng Shaotian replied dissatisfied.

"Good question, our slaves were the cheapest of all cheapest. S rank slave is 1 million gold coins, blah blah blah..." the attendant started talking non-stop but Feng Shaotian didn't have the luxury to listen, his mind was already in chaos by hearing the word 1 million.

Where the hell is he going to get a million gold coins?. He expected it to be cheap. However, he was struck by the word 'expectation Vs. reality', of course the attendant would say 1 million is cheap. Their customers normally are Noble's, so million is quite cheap.

'It's better than nothing' he thought. Both of them were F rank and was good in cooking dishes. One of them was 18 and the other is 17, a twin named Shi An and Shi Yue.

The attendant was annoyed that she explained too long but Feng Shaotian only bought two useless chicks. But the perpetrator, Feng Shaotian didn't mind her.

After leaving the slave market, they meet up with fatty who already sold the magical beast carcass, savage snake. Earning a total of 24,730 gold coins.

Totally happy with his income, Fatty Ma directly bought the things he needed to rank up before showing up in front of Feng Shaotian.

"Where are we going next boss?" Fatty Ma asked blissfully, 'Boss Feng is really my lucky star'.

"Let's first find a property to buy, we will then start recruiting talent's. When our business is on the right track, you'll manage it in my stead. Try to find some trustworthy people to help you manage the business, I'll just station some people to monitor the situation and guard our commerce." Feng Shaotian said after thinking for a moment.

Fatty Ma's imagination run wild thinking that he would be someone great in the future. His eyes shined brightly every passing seconds.

"Sh*t! Why are you drooling like a dog!" Feng Shaotian cursed seeing Fatty Ma drooling endlessly.

Feng Shaotian with his group search for a good place to establish their Chamber of Commerce. A place where it can easily be seen and attract more customers. But sadly, all the Golden land was owned by the city lord and the three great clans.

Feng Shaotian couldn't help but feel frustrated. 'Where should I established it?. This is too hard'.

"What should we do boss? How are we going to attract customer if our site is not popular?" Fatty Ma asked anxiously.

Looking at his surrounding, Feng Shaotian suddenly thought of a better idea. He lead his group towards the slum area, strolling around to look for a place to create an establishment.

After determining which plot of land is better, he asked Fatty Ma to buy it from the city lord.

"Boss, why are we buying this plot of land? It's dirty here, if we established our commerce here no one would surely come" Fatty Ma asked concerned.

"No need to worry, if the land is unpopular then make it popular" Feng Shaotian said smiling.

Feng Shaotian entered his mini world after returning to the inn. Of course, the two slaves are with Ding Bang and Fatty Ma having a meal.

"Now is the time to complete the mission. System, It's your time to shine"

Ding!

[ Congratulations to Host Feng Shaotian for completing the quest. The reward has been delivered to your inventory ]

Feng Shaotian's stock of Golden Rice has grown up to 70,000 sacks. If he could turn these into pure profit, then life would be much easier!.

The Quest he completed rewarded him a D rank warrior talent fruit and 2,000 gold coins. Feng Shaotian struggled for a moment if he should eat it or not. A few minutes later Feng Shaotian decided to just sell it. He can eat all he want if he plant some magical fruit seeds in the Future, what he needed most is money.

According to the system, if a normal person without talent eat an F Rank Talent Fruit, they would directly advance to F rank. However, if an F rank eats an F rank talent fruit, it would just improved his talent little by little until reaching the bottleneck and breaking through the next stage. This also applies to the higher talent fruits.

That is why Ding Bang who was originally a normal Dog becomes someone great just by eating a Triple S rank talent fruit.

***

At noon, Fatty Ma finally returned with good news. The city lord sold the property in the slum area for only 10,000 gold. 100% lower than that of the other plot of lands in the central area.

Feng Shaotian gave Fatty Ma some money to start recruiting people and build the Commerce headquarter. He also handed over the design he created while traveling, it has a big building at the center, an auction house by its side, and villas for their people to live in.

The cost would be big but with time, all of his investment will surely come back a millionfold. Based on his observation, it would take at least half a month before they could really start their first business.

Feng Shaotian couldn't help but sigh. 'I just want to live peacefully but why am I so obsessed with money?'.

'No. I need money to make myself stronger and secure my safety and my life would be peaceful at that time without relying on anyone'

He couldn't help but think about his life with his friends on earth. He felt lonely, 'I've been in this world for how many days now? Is everyone alright from the other side?' Feng Shaotian wondered.

The next day, Fatty Ma busily observed the people going to and fro creating a magnificent and majestic Chamber of Commerce. He even asked the people from the slum area that he would buy all the materials they have to hasten the construction.

Fatty Ma would gain lots of materials while the people in the slum area earn money, a win-win situation. When the beggars in the central street caught wind of the news, they immediately rushed over to apply and started acquiring materials to sell.

Because of the sudden influx of people, verbal fights happened more frequently, until it got out of hand and they started rioting. Fatty Ma got a headache by the sudden chaos, he was helpless as he don't have the strength to stop them.

A few meters away, Ding Bang was napping under the rays of sunlight, dreaming about eating so many sweets and delicious looking savory cakes. He was ready to take a bite when Fatty Ma woke him awake.

Being disturbed in his nap time, Ding Bang got enraged. Looking at the surrounding people in chaos, he stood up with blackened face. Releasing his oppressive force without restraint, making the rioting people to shiver in fear. Deep cold sweats keep forming in their heads pouring like rain, their clothes became wet while shaking uncontrollably.

Even the people from the busy street got panicked by the sudden heavy force bearing on their shoulder. Two people who have been searching for something also feels this oppression.

'It's him' their face showed faces of joy and immediately run towards the source.
