No business thrives without scheming—such is comrce.
After finishing up, Qin Shou returned to the Beast Cultivation Main City and entered the Earth Core Energy Pool to train.
The company’s operations were managed by Long Xia. If any issues arose, Long Xia would notify him promptly. There was no need for him to stay in West City.
...
Two days later, Long Xia inford Qin Shou to co to West City; one hundred sets of battle armor had already been sold out.
"Lao Qin, these one hundred sets of battle armor were mostly purchased by various major groups. This is pretty much what you anticipated—we need to figure out a way to stop them from using such tactics."
Long Xia sent the data to Qin Shou’s communicator.
Qin Shou’s expression darkened. Groups buying the armor typically sent them for research, leaving almost no chance to hunt monsters and earn synthesis points.
"Long Xia, I’ll leave this matter to you. Focus on those monster hunters who frequently venture out of the city.
Also, spread the word that the next sales event will feature only one type of battle armor.
With repeated battle armor, they likely won’t spend exorbitant sums to secure purchasing privileges again."
Long Xia nodded. "Alright, I understand."
...
A few days after returning to the Beast Cultivation Main City, representatives from the Search God Group, Mountain and Sea Group, Demonic Group, Liao Zhai Group, and the Guardian Families of the Federation Main City, along with those from the chanical Main City, visited Qin Shou, proposing to purchase the Qin Group.
Qin Shou rejected all of these offers from the major powers one by one.
Out of deference to the Beast Cultivation Main City and Long Family’s Yan Bo, none of the groups pressed the matter.
Had it been soone without strong backing, they’d likely be devoured without a trace left.
This was precisely why Qin Shou hesitated to sell the battle armor initially.
...
A month quickly passed, and the date for armor sales arrived once again.
This ti, one hundred sets of Xingtian Armor were successfully sold, with the majority landing in the hands of monster hunters. Within a short ti, Qin Shou’s synthesis points finally began to skyrocket.
However, a flood of negative news concerning armor users followed soon after.
Reports about unstable performance, diminished energy amplification effects, accidental injuries caused by uncontrollable armor, and low-grade materials spread rapidly, causing the Qin Group’s reputation to plumt.
Long Xia was frantic, but Qin Shou remained utterly unconcerned.
This was the work of jealous rivals stirring up trouble.
Most of the people shouting online couldn’t even afford amplification battle armor—they were just following the herd.
The actual armor users were simply acting on paid orders; there wasn’t a single issue with the armor’s functionality.
For the Qin Group, which released only one hundred sets of armor a month, no amount of bad press could impact sales.
Taking advantage of the public uproar, the Federation Main City sent emissaries demanding Qin Shou provide docuntation proving the armor was problem-free.
In response to this, Yan Bo, whose injuries had improved, dismissed them with a single word.
No, a single syllable.
"Scram!"
The modern Federation was already dominated by the Twelve Guardian Families, the Four Main Cities, and various elite groups.
Much like certain nations in the Old Era, the plutocrats were in control. Ordinary citizens—and even the nominal rulers—could only bow their heads and tread carefully.
In an era dominated by extraordinary power, this phenonon was even more pronounced.
Under the wings of the Beast Cultivation Main City and the Long Family, Qin Shou felt deeply conflicted about these circumstances.
No matter the era, strength was always the ultimate authority.
"Beep, beep..."
Lost in thought, Qin Shou received a video request from Yu Shusheng.
"Qin Shou, the Dragon Island developnt site in West City has seen a surge in sea beasts. We’re out of options; we’ll need your help again," Yu Shusheng said, his old face full of anxiety.
Qin Shou rubbed his forehead. "Understood, I’ll head over right away. While I’m there, let’s also discuss redistributing Dragon Island’s profits."
Yu Shusheng: "..."
Sigh, this day had finally co.
