Volume 1, Chapter 25: Venturing for Profit

Every man for himself, or heaven and earth will destroy him.
I remember chatting with A-Long once. Out of curiosity, I asked him how he could always pull out so much cash when the company accounts clearly showed we were losing money. If we couldn't break even, wouldn't we go without a share of the profits all year?
Since we were like brothers, A-Long didn’t hide it from me. He said that here in Northern Myanmar, if the lowest-level employees want to make money, their only path is to close deals and hit performance targets. But for those who aren't at the bottom, there are many ways to make money.
Currently, the group provides him with fifty thousand in petty cash every week to keep operations running. This petty cash is mainly used to purchase the social media accounts, WeChat accounts, phone cards, and so on that employees use every day, as well as...
"Damn, they left Rengar open for you. Are you going to pick it?" Xiao Xiao asked Zhang Feng, seeing that Rengar hadn't been banned in the first round of picks.
Her consciousness finally began to return, and she was able to awaken. "This is my ally, my ally. I cannot act against an ally." But at that moment, the dark shadow glared with its eyes and said, "What more do you want? Do you wish to defy me?"
"Supplying steel for city construction?" Su Xing repeated Wang Gang's offer, quite surprised by his sincerity.
When the countdown hit zero, General Heffadi ordered his fleet to brace for the sudden situation ahead. Because they had some time to prepare, the Allied Fleet was only minimally affected. Aside from four warships that were caught off guard and struck by flying debris, the others remained unscathed.
This was Su Xing’s first time visiting the "Brilliance of the Terrace." Once there, he realized that "Terrace" was merely the name of a grand banquet hall. Not only was it roofed and sheltered, but the windows were also tightly blocked by heavy, European-style curtains. Against the backdrop of the opulent, ornate decor, it felt more like one of Wang Gang’s palaces.
However, since this was Ye Chen’s first time using an ancient teleportation array and his first time arriving on this strange continent, having someone to guide him was naturally a good thing.
The two demonic beasts seemed to sense reinforcements. Although they would normally fight among themselves, they shared a common hatred when faced with humans, and thus they became even more frantic.
"What is it?" Upon hearing that there was a safe business venture that required no capital, An Guangyi couldn't even bother to finish his abalone.
It wasn't until he was exhausted and jolted awake from his sleep by Sun Yan's sobbing curses that Yang Jiaqi, wearing his school uniform, realized just how audacious he had been. Naturally, his first thought was that Sun Yan would report him for rape.
Wuchen thought to himself: If I can keep this old demon out of the martial arts world for ten years, who knows how many lives I might save? And during these ten years of living together day and night, I can teach him Buddhist rites; perhaps that will purge some of his demonic nature. Why not do it? But wait—could this be some sort of scheme of his?

As for going into the city to pull out the arrow, even if the bleeding could be stopped, the filth on the arrow had already tainted the internal organs. Within a few days, infection would set in, followed by high fever, coma, and death.
"Naruto, what are you doing here?" Shikamaru walked by lazily, catching a glimpse of the figure in the passing seat, and asked in surprise.
Although they had repelled Huang Feihu and his men, they had many friends, and even more fellow disciples from the Chan Sect. Most importantly, they possessed countless magical treasures.
Lu Dongbin knew he was in the wrong and for a moment had no will to fight. Seeing Li Bai’s fierce sword strike, he could only parry it reluctantly.
Sifeng Jingyan glanced at Xinglian’s thin clothing. He said nothing, but leaned down, scooped her up, and walked into the house.
It was as if just when Lin Hao had a chance to escape, there would always be monsters of unknown status blocking his path or chasing him desperately.
The gloomy weather cast a shadow over his heart. He only wanted to finish this last summoning as quickly as possible and get down the mountain; he didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place a moment longer.
The man smelled of fish. Whether he had been told or had seen it with his own eyes, he spoke with great enthusiasm.
"That Chu Yunshu is really no good, egging people on like that," Ren Qing cursed softly.
By the time the other Venerables finally caught up to the figure of the Divine Shadow Venerable as he struck, the Venerable's sword and Li Qiuxie’s fist had already collided in the void with a resounding, unadorned impact.
Xia Yao naturally didn't believe such nonsense. In her mind, she had already labeled Xia You a lolicon.
The blood from the wound on his neck stained his upper body, and combined with his expressionless face, the aura around him was terrifying to the extreme.
Therefore, by a more lenient standard, the Xingshan Kingdom was now qualified to be upgraded to an empire. Although, due to people's inherent way of thinking, a newly born empire could never compare in comprehensive strength to the ancient and deep-rooted empires in the center of the continent, an empire was still an empire.
The thoughts of such people were practically written on their faces. Jing Ming could only sigh—too narrow-minded? My friend, I’ll annoy you to death.
I was still waiting to hear him tell me about the grudge between him and the Chu family, but to my surprise, he stood up to take his leave.

I know what I did was wrong, but now that I have nothing, the only thing I can do is treat him to a good meal to thank him properly, right?
"Today is your birthday, isn't it? Don't tell me the birth date you wrote on the registration form is fake," Xia You said.
I wanted to offer a word of advice, but Jing Li’s desire for alcohol had already been piqued. He wouldn't listen, so I had to let him be.
Li Mengqi submitted a set of detailed analytical data and on-site videos to this top-level meeting. Several bigwigs specifically set aside time to attend, wanting to see what kind of person could make the Anomaly Action Department take them so seriously.
"Just this one." Li Shao turned beet red from what was said and huffed angrily, suddenly reaching out to pull one.
Mother Ding smiled immediately. It turned out she had misunderstood Ding Yezi’s meaning; in fact, she still wanted her mother to help her vet him first.
Luotian’s heart tightened. A transparent light flashed in the air, and he suddenly released a spatial barrier. Then he said to Wanqiu and the others, "Remember to find a chance to leave later." After speaking, various colored lights flashed repeatedly in the air as one defensive spell after another appeared on Luotian’s body.
Wan Ningzhu’s eyes snapped open, and she glanced sideways to see Shangguan Gouyue calling to her with a mysterious look.
"This is the Yang family’s assembly hall!" Descending slowly from the sky to the central plaza, Yang Hanxuan introduced the human architecture before them to Long Tian with a cheerful smile.
Shangguan Mengdong’s mother hurriedly ushered them into the house. Shangguan Mengdong rubbed his nose with a wry smile. What could he say? This person had followed him halfway; there was no time to introduce him to her.
Zhong Shan couldn't help but curl his lip. Every time he went to the jade shop to buy jade, he encountered this situation, so this time he simply called for the shopkeeper, but he hadn't expected to be interrogated once again.
The Arabian Sea, including the Gulf of Aden and the Gulf of Oman, covers an area of 3.86 million square kilometers. The seawater contains a large amount of nutrients, allowing fish to breed rapidly. Oceanic fish include tuna, sardines, billfish, wahoo, and sharks. The fishing industry has great potential for development.
