Legendary Armament Canon

1202 We Can Give You Money (2)

“But I have a condition,” Zhou Shu continued.

“King Zhou, as long as it’s within our means, we will definitely do our best. But we’re really injured. There are some things that we’re really powerless to do.”

As they spoke, at least two or three Grotto-Heaven Masters actually bled from the corners of their mouths. The others clutched their chests and coughed, looking seriously injured.

Zhou Shu rolled his eyes without any scruples. They were really shameless.

When they fought with Cao Chenyang, Zhou Shu was present. Do you think I don’t know whether you bastards are injured?

How embarrassing.

Such people were actually Grotto-Heaven Masters of the human race, the most powerful group of humans!

“Listen carefully. If you want to stay in my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, you have to pay the accommodation fee,” Zhou Shu said angrily.

A Grotto-Heaven Master pondered and said, “Accommodation fee? I understand. It’s like staying in an inn, right? No problem. King Zhou, feel free to name a price. We will definitely not bargain!”

The Grotto-Heaven Master was extremely confident. What a joke. They were Grotto-Heaven Masters.

Any Grotto-Heaven Master was an existence who owned a grotto-heaven.

Each grotto-heaven had countless citizens. Would they lack money?

Not to mention anything else, just the ‘sincerity’ they had just brought was priceless.

It was just some accommodation fees. These Grotto-Heaven Masters didn’t care at all.

After turning the matter into business, Zhou Shu immediately felt much better.

It was hard to say if he could change these people, but he would let them pay for it first!

It was unrealistic to expect them to fight a bloody battle for this world. But at the very least, they had to contribute something. Taking out the heavenly treasures they had plundered could be considered their contribution!

“My Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven has a beautiful environment, you can enjoy my protection, and ordinary people don’t dare to trespass. So it can be a little expensive,” Zhou Shu continued. “If you think it’s too expensive, you don’t have to stay here.”

“It’s only right that it’s a little expensive. We definitely won’t find it expensive,” a Grotto-Heaven Master said.

Expensive? What does that mean?

Would we, Grotto-Heaven Masters, find it expensive?

Are you looking down on us?

Zhou Shu said indifferently, “Very well. This is our first time making a deal, so I’ll give you a discount. For every day you stay, the fee is forging materials for one connate divine weapon. There’s no limit to what kind of weapon it is. As long as the value is equal, it’s fine.”

He was asking for too much. Forging materials for one connate divine weapon for staying a day, this was no longer an astronomical price.

One had to know that even with the various Grotto-Heavens, the human race only had a few hundred connate divine weapons. There might not even be a thousand of them.

Any connate divine weapon was extremely valuable. It wouldn’t be a problem to exchange one for a city in the Ten Nations!

Since these Grotto-Heaven Masters were so confident, Zhou Shu naturally had to give them a chance to show off their wealth.

After hearing what Zhou Shu said, the Grotto-Heaven Masters looked at each other and were silent for a moment.

It had to be said that this price was a little high even for them.

Zhou Shu continued, “It’s business. It’s consensual. If you think it’s too expensive, it’s fine. You can choose not to stay. I won’t force you…”

“No, King Zhou, you’ve misunderstood.” The Ji Xuan Grotto-Heaven Master shook his head. “It’s not that we think it’s expensive. We’re just wondering if we should pay once a day or just pay for a month.”

Zhou Shu: “…”

Are you bastards so rich?

You still want to pay for a month?

Speaking of which, I didn’t get much from Tang Lan and Shang Qiuzi after killing them.

Could these two fellows have been the paupers among the Grotto-Heaven Masters?

Forging materials enough for one connate divine weapon a day, and you want to pay for a month?

If this was in Zhou Shu’s distant previous life, it would be equivalent to a million yuan a night for a hotel. This wasn’t ordinary wealth.

“Pay for a month!” Zhou Shu said with a cold expression. Damn it. I’ve worked so hard for so long. Even now, I might not be able to take out so many forging materials. These people are actually so damn rich!

If he didn’t empty their treasures this time, he would give his surname up!

“One month deposit, three months in advance. No room for discussion!” Zhou Shu said through gritted teeth.

“One month deposit, three months in advance?” The Grotto-Heaven Masters were a little puzzled. They had never had the experience of renting a place, unlike Zhou Shu.

“A lump sum of three months’ fee, plus a month’s deposit,” Zhou Shu said coldly. “When you live in my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, in case my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven gets destroyed by you, I have to collect one month’s deposit to cover for that. If you destroy the environment here, your deposit will be confiscated. If nothing happens, I’ll return all the deposit when you leave.”

The Grotto-Heaven Masters looked at each other. In case the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was destroyed by them?

Did they have nothing better to do?

Besides, would they have scruples just because of a month’s deposit?

Who would care about such a paltry sum?

But they were here to seek refuge, so they naturally had no objections.

What was the saying? A problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.

This was the case for these Grotto-Heaven Masters.

Cao Chenyang was an immense threat to them. In order not to face him, they would do anything, let alone give up some wealth.

If there was nothing left, they could plunder again. If they lost their lives, there would really be nothing left.

“One month deposit, three months in advance, no problem,” the Ji Xuan Grotto-Heaven Master said. “King Zhou, how about this? We’ll pay a year’s deposit and accommodation fees for three years at a time…”

Zhou Shu’s horizons were broadened. He had never seen a tenant take the initiative to pay more rent!

Paying for four years in one go?

One connate divine weapon a day for 365 days a year, which was 365 connate divine weapons. In four years, it would add up to be 1,460 connate divine weapons.

There were a total of six Grotto-Heaven Masters, which was forging materials enough for 8,760 connate divine weapons…

Zhou Shu felt a blissful dizziness.

Not to mention the current Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven’s Huaxia Pavilion, even if Great Wei and Great Xia were included, the two nations wouldn’t be able to take out so many forging materials even if they used all their strength!

Back then, Zhou Shu had made a small fortune. But compared to these 8,760 connate divine weapons, it wasn’t worth mentioning!

Zhou Shu now knew that these Grotto-Heaven Masters were not good at fighting, but they were very good at accumulating wealth. He wondered what they had been doing for the past thousands of years!

The Grotto-Heaven Masters were a little nervous when they saw Zhou Shu’s expression change. They were worried that he would refuse.

A month was too short for a Grotto-Heaven Master to even take a nap.

Who knew if Cao Chenyang had been watching them?

Of course, the longer they stayed in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, the better. It was best to wait for Zhou Shu and Cao Chenyang to determine the victor before they went out.

The Ji Xuan Grotto-Heaven Master continued, “King Zhou, if you don’t mind, we can pay for ten years at a time. In any case, we’re seriously injured, and we might not be able to recover in ten years. It’s too troublesome to keep paying…”

If not for the fact that it was a little difficult for them to pay for a hundred years at once, they would even pay to stay for a hundred years at once!

Zhou Shu looked at these people. For some reason, he suddenly felt that they were a little cute.

Was this the charm of money?

Damn it. How many connate divine weapons can I forge if they pay to stay for ten years in one go?

Eighty-seven thousand six hundred connate divine weapons?

This was nearly 100,000 connate divine weapons. If Zhou Shu could forge so many connate divine weapons, how many rewards would the Legendary Armament Canon give him?

At that time, Cao Chenyang would not be a problem anymore.

Zhou Shu would fight him to the death!
