Chapter 44: Too much cultivated land
Watching Natya leave, Wang Fugui turned back to his office and immediately began writing a report for his boss.
Not long after, Prince Xue Xing received news of a strange Titled Douluo appearing in Heaven Dou City in Prince Xue Xing's Mansion.
Wang Teng was right before; the biggest boss behind the Slave Market in Heaven Dou City was Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou Royal Family's Snow Family.
Upon receiving the news, Prince Xue Xing immediately prepared a carriage and headed to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
After all, this was a powerful Titled Douluo, and he had to pay attention. Moreover, his subordinates said that this Titled Douluo was very unfamiliar. He just didn't know if he could be recruited like Dugu Bo to become a Spirit Master of the Heaven Dou Empire?
Of course, while it was called a Spirit Master, it actually had no binding force. It was just to foster good relations. It was impossible to expect a Titled Douluo to risk their life for it.
Most likely, it was just a win-win situation for everyone!
Soon, the galloping carriage entered the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Xue Ye, who was handling official business, suddenly heard the sound of a guard from outside.
"Your Majesty, Prince Xue Xing requests an audience!"
"Xue Xing? Let him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Subsequently, Prince Xue Xing entered.
"Xue Xing, is there something wrong?"
Emperor Xue Ye asked curiously as he watched Prince Xue Xing enter.
"Your Majesty, a strange Titled Douluo appeared in the Slave Market earlier. He looked young and even had a 100,000-year ninth spirit ring."
"What?! A Titled Douluo with a 100,000-year spirit ring?!"
Emperor Xue Ye's eyes immediately widened. There were many Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent, but Titled Douluo with 100,000-year spirit rings were extremely rare.
"That's right."
"Do you know their identity? Can they be recruited?"
With the growing strength of Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire felt increasing pressure. The current Emperor Xue Ye was very eager for top experts to join the Heaven Dou Empire.
For example, Dugu Bo, who had previously broken through to Titled Douluo, was successfully recruited by the Heaven Dou Empire to become a Spirit Master.
Although he didn't expect Dugu Bo to truly serve the Heaven Dou Empire, a Titled Douluo itself possessed immense deterrent power.
However, it was clear that the Heaven Dou Empire's desire to contend with Spirit Hall was wishful thinking. It could be said that apart from the high-ranking officials of Spirit Hall, outsiders truly did not know the true strength of Spirit Hall, which was a force with numerous Titled Douluo.
"That Titled Douluo is appearing for the first time, so their identity is still being investigated."
"Alright, but even if you find out, don't act rashly. Arrange the proper etiquette."
"Yes."
On the other side, Wang Teng and Natya brought five beautiful Misses to their shop.
Wang Teng turned to look at the five of them.
"Alright, from now on, this will be your workplace."
"Oh, by the way, what are all your names?"
Looking at the five beautiful Misses, Wang Teng still didn't know their names!
"Young Master, we don't have names. When we were in the Slave Market, we only had numbers."
"Uh~ That's why you became slaves?"
"I don't know. I've been a slave since I was little."
This damn World! Listen, they don't even have names. How cruel is that?
"Alright, then I'll give you names!"
However, Wang Teng's naming difficulty syndrome flared up again.
After a long time, the new names of the five Misses were released—Chunhua, Qiuyue, Xiahe, Dongshuang, and Ruyi.
Chunhua was the oldest at sixteen, while Ruyi was the youngest at fifteen.
"Young Master, what do we need to do from now on?"
"From now on, you will be the waitresses of this shop!"
"Waitresses?"
The five of them widened their eyes. What the hell was this? This was not what they had thought!
"Uh~ What kind of look is that?"
Wang Teng was a little confused looking at the five of them.
"Didn't they say we were to be bed-warming maids?"
Ruyi whispered from the side.
"What? Speak louder, I didn't hear clearly!"
Because Ruyi spoke too softly, Wang Teng didn't hear clearly.
"Pfft~!" Natya, who was beside him, had already burst out laughing.
"Natya, what are you laughing at?"
"No~ I'm not laughing!"
Natya flatly denied it, indicating that she wasn't laughing.
"Didn't that Manager Qian say that Young Master wanted bed-warming maids?" Ruyi said.
As soon as she said this, Wang Teng's knees seemed to have been hit by an arrow, and he stumbled.
"Damn it~! What kind of person did this Qian Duoduo take me for? Damn it! I should have beaten him up before leaving."
This misunderstanding was a bit big. Waitresses became bed-warmers, and the difference was quite significant. Could he still return them? But since he had already bought them, Wang Teng had no choice. Fortunately, changing professions wasn't a problem.
"Cough cough, alright, let's not talk about it. Well, from now on, you will be the waitresses of this shop."
"Young Master, what do we sell in our shop?"
Chunhua looked around the shop but had no idea what Wang Teng would be selling in the future.
"For now, we mainly sell recovery potions, and later we might add spirit tools."
They knew about spirit tools, but what were these recovery potions? However, they didn't ask.
"The second floor of this shop is also ours, and it will be your dormitory from now on. Also, I will pay you a salary of 10 gold coins per month."
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Originally, Chunhua and the others, as slaves, did not need to be paid.
But Wang Teng didn't really treat them as slaves, and he didn't need to exploit employees to get rich, so he naturally wasn't short of this money. Compared to the profit from recovery potions, this was just a drop in the bucket.
And in Heaven Dou City, prices were much higher than in other places. After all, it was not easy to live in the capital. Plus, Wang Teng was not short of money, so he directly gave them the treatment of a Spirit Grandmaster.
"Natya, for now, we only sell recovery potions, and we also have a daily limit.
Spirit Ancestor-level potions are 10,000 gold coins per bottle, with a daily limit of four bottles. Spirit King-level potions are 30,000 gold coins per bottle, with a daily limit of two bottles. Spirit Emperor-level potions are 100,000 gold coins per bottle, and only one bottle is sold per day."
It could be said that Wang Teng directly increased the price tenfold, a typical black-hearted capitalist.
And there was a reason for this limited sale.
After all, this stuff was expensive, and Spirit Masters without some financial power really couldn't afford it. Even if they bought it, it was basically used as a life-saving potion in critical moments.
After all, these potions had good effects. As long as they were of the same rank, they could restore half of a Spirit Master's life or spirit power.
And although it seemed like not much was sold each day, there was still a daily sales volume of 200,000 gold coins, which would be 73 million a year, and Wang Teng's profit was as much as 90%.
As for paying taxes? He wanted to see if Emperor Xue Ye would collect taxes from a Titled Douluo!
Of course, the premise of getting rich was to sell the recovery potions.
However, according to Wang Teng's estimation, there were still many wealthy people in Heaven Dou City.
For example, that rich Ning Fengzhi, in the original work, spent 180,000 gold coins on a cat girl, looking extremely rich. Although it might also be related to him being a pervert, this also showed that there were still many wealthy people in this World.
Speaking of which, Ning Fengzhi seemed to always walk with a cane. Was it because he farmed too much land, causing his back to be bad?
