Chapter 352 The Miracle of One Hundred Million a Day
"One hundred million fali a day? Impossible!"
Artemis was taken aback by Roy's boastful words; she even suspected that he had misunderstood the unit and that it was actually 10,000 falies a day.
"Nothing is impossible to a willing mind." Roy's lips curled into a confident smile.
"What should we do?"
Seeing Roy's ambitious appearance, Artemis couldn't help but ask curiously, "One hundred million falies? I never even dared to dream of that much."
To be precise, it's 300 million fali! They have three days left before they set off, 100 million fali per day!
This made Artemis feel dizzy.
Roy was prepared. "We'll teach adventurers martial arts or archery, and charge them per person!"
"Roy, are you misunderstanding something?"
Upon hearing this, Artemis frowned; she had thought Roy would have some good ideas.
Opening a martial arts school isn't exactly a lucrative business in Orario. Guess why Takemikazuchi, a master of martial arts who can rival a LV.5 adventurer with his skills alone, is working at a potato ball stand instead of teaching martial arts and having countless students?
Is it that he doesn't want to? No, it's that he can't!
Firstly, martial arts and combat skills are for fighting against other people. While they are not entirely useless against mindless monsters, their effectiveness is very limited. Adventurers rarely have the opportunity to fight against other people; most of their time is spent exploring dungeons.
Everyone's busy making money, who has time to nitpick!
Being proficient in martial arts is not a necessity. It's better to spend that time studying the monsters and terrain of the dungeon and try to survive the next exploration.
Advanced adventurers don't need to learn it, and low-level adventurers can't afford it, nor do they have the patience or the cost.
However, faced with Artemis's questioning, Roy's smile deepened. He knew exactly what she was thinking, but his idea was not just empty talk; it was based on market research.
"Goddess Artemis, you seem to lack self-awareness, and even less understanding of the value of the knowledge you possess."
Roy laughed and said that Artemis and Takemikazuchi are different. In addition to martial arts and archery, the former also has rich experience in hunting monsters.
The monsters on the surface have weakened over thousands of years of reproduction, but the location of the magic stone has not changed and remains the same as the monsters in the dungeon. Artemis can overcome the weak and hunt down those monsters!
Artemis knew everything about the monsters, including their attack patterns and how they changed when they were low on health.
This knowledge is extremely important for low-level adventurers, but the guild advisors only teach theoretical knowledge, which is somewhat like armchair theorizing.
"I see!"
With Roy's explanation, Artemis roughly understood that the knowledge she possessed could indeed greatly enhance the survival ability of novice adventurers.
In the realm of exploration and knowledge, apart from warm, family-like clans like Astraea and Loki, other clans do not have the tradition of teaching newcomers.
Everyone risked their lives to experience it firsthand.
Those who survive are true companions; those who die are merely fair-weather friends you happened to meet yesterday.
Artemis agreed with this view, then raised a new question, "Since it's training for novice adventurers, the price can't be too high—"
"No!"
Roy interrupted her, "The price has to be very high. This is life-saving knowledge. There's a saying: 'Laws should not be lightly passed on, and principles should not be sold cheaply!'"
"The initial price is two million fares per person, cash payment is not required, installment payments are possible!"
Artemis's heart pounded. "But we only have three days—"
"Yeah, so if you want to get the money quickly, you need to use a little trick," Roy laughed.
Artemis and Roy's conversation reached everyone's ears, and the hall fell silent.
The girls from the former Astrea Familia and Artemis Familia were incredibly curious about how Roy was going to help the Artemis Familia earn 100 million a day.
Only Tione, Tiona, Daphne, Lily, and the others wore confident smiles on their pretty faces. They firmly believed that their leader was omnipotent.
The next day.
News spread throughout the city that the goddess Artemis had opened a martial arts school, teaching martial arts, archery, and monster-hunting skills, and adventurers were welcome to sign up.
Curious gods and adventurers flocked to the scene.
They weren't actually interested in signing up; they were just there for the fun. Wherever there was fun, they were sure to be there!
That was in the arena, a battle against monsters.
Silverback apes, dungeon lizards, killer ants, and even the monsters that novice adventurers in the Shadowlands find most troublesome in the upper levels—
One of them was brought up.
Artemis moved with light steps, gracefully weaving through the surging, ferocious monsters; deadly fangs and claws often only brushed against the fleeting shadows of her fluttering robes.
It's not that she's that fast.
She was extremely familiar with the attack patterns of these monsters, and could predict them in advance to easily dodge them.
That composure makes one feel elegant and confident.
The tens of thousands of people in the arena were captivated by Artemis's graceful dance.
Roy's attention was focused on the new adventurers; even if it was only 5%, that would be enough.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Artemis drew her composite bow, the bowstring vibrated, and the specially made arrows transformed into silver streaks of light!
The arrows seemed to have built-in locks, piercing the monster's body with perfect accuracy and striking the magic stone.
With a piercing scream, the monster's body collapsed, black mist dissipated, and fragments of magic stones fell.
Those who get close to the monster are even less likely to escape!
Artemis drew her sword, slicing through the monsters' throats or joints in a chilling arc of death! Each swing was concise and efficient.
His skills are so exquisite, and his control over power, timing, and distance is unparalleled!
From the spectator stands surrounding the arena, gasps of amazement filled the air as adventurers and spectators alike watched with great interest.
Even seasoned adventurers were amazed; it was extremely rare for a god to possess such combat power in the mortal realm.
In most cases, adventurers treat gods as tools to update their stats, and they have to pay them every so often.
Next came the battle with the adventurers.
This is the main event!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Three graceful figures flashed by, and the sounds of metal clashing against metal, as dense as a torrential rain, resounded across the arena.
Alexandra's longsword moved with the grace of a dragon, her attacks fierce as fire, unleashing a barrage of scorching sword nets.
Kaguya's long blade moved faster than lightning, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek. Its angles were cunning and ruthless, showcasing the essence of Eastern killing techniques.
The two at LV.4 work together seamlessly, one strong and the other gentle!
The fierce offensive was like a raging torrent, relentless and almost swallowing Artemis whole.
Artemis's pale green eyes remained calm. With a seemingly casual twist of her wrist, the spine of her sword pressed against the opponent's blade. An extremely supple and skillful force was instantly transmitted, deflecting the fierce power and causing Alicia's longsword to strike empty air.
Almost at the same moment!
Kaguya's Iai Slash, aimed straight at her throat, had arrived. Artemis's steps were like walking on flowing clouds, her slender waist twisting slightly backward at an incredible angle, the cold edge of the katana almost brushing past her nose.
With the ability to deflect a thousand pounds with four ounces of force, she made heavy attacks seem effortless. No matter how fierce the attack, it was as if it had hit cotton. Her superb skills neutralized it with minimal movement!
Takemikazuchi can defeat twenty LV4 adventurers and fight one LV5 adventurer head-on with his martial arts skills, so Artemis can easily handle two LV4 adventurers.
"That's absolutely incredible!"
On the arena, the crowd that had been enthusiastically discussing and watching the battle were now completely dumbfounded.
The monsters we just hunted were all mid-to-high-level monsters, which even a LV.2 adventurer could easily kill. If we weren't fighting gods, it wouldn't be surprising at all.
But at this moment, the fact that the goddess Artemis can easily handle two LV.4 adventurers creates a somewhat terrifying visual impact.
After all, level 4 adventurers aren't exactly common!
If Alexei and Kaguya used skills or magic to bombard a wide area, Artemis would be defeated in an instant. However, in pure close combat, the two of them could not defeat the goddess whose martial arts skills were unparalleled.
Moreover, after obtaining the composite bow, Artemis's threat to LV.4 adventurers increased dramatically.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Artemis's movements were fluid and seamless, without a single unnecessary pause. Nocking the arrow, drawing the bow, and aiming—all the steps were performed with perfect ease.
A streak of light, almost forming a straight line, shot out at a speed beyond the limits of the naked eye, startling Kaguya into retreating, sensing a deadly danger.
boom!
The arrow swept past and embedded itself deeply into the edge of the wall, its fletching still vibrating rapidly!
Throughout the arena, everyone gasped in shock; the power of that arrow was terrifying.
"Want to learn the exquisite skills of hunting monsters, the martial arts to contend with LV.4 adventurers, and the archery skills to never miss? Goddess Artemis is offering a limited-time course!"
"Besides teaching martial arts, we also offer excellent after-sales service. For one year, you'll receive one private lesson every month, all for just two million Fali!"
"Even if you can't pay on the spot, it's okay. You can pay in installments. This is an essential course for novice adventurers, which can greatly increase your survival skills!"
"It's a bit pricey, but once you master these abilities, hunting monsters will no longer be a problem, and your ability to make money will also improve. Money is fleeting; only the skills you possess are your foundation!"
"Limited time offer for three days only, don't miss out!"
As soon as Artemis demonstrated her skills, people immediately put up signs to attract new adventurers to sign up, and there were also spies hired by Roy.
Not everyone is a paid troll.
For example, Naza from the Mihe Familia signed up with a serious attitude, paying the full amount of two million Fali to learn archery from Artemis. The last expedition left her with psychological trauma, and she was hesitant to enter the dungeon. She hoped to overcome the difficulties through this training.
This sight ignited the passion of many new adventurers.
Two million Fares—they wouldn't be worth that much even if they were sold, but Roy has already planned their future: installment payments plus increased earning power! The three-day time limit adds a sense of urgency.
-
"Two million Fali for a year of study, that's about 160,000 Fali per month, or about 5,000 Fali per day. It's worth it, let's do it!" The adventurers said confidently, quickly calculating the figures.
"Excuse me, could I please have an application form?"
"Me too! Me too!"
"What are the gods doing here?!"
The number of people signing up is rising steadily, including not only novice adventurers but also experienced adventurers.
Is two million Fali a lot?
For ordinary people or novice adventurers, this is indeed an astronomical sum of money!
But even for high-level adventurers, or even those who are not at the level of Roy or Finn, but only at the level of LV.2 or LV.3, they can afford to use it.
However, most people still choose to pay in installments, since the service is available anyway, they might as well take advantage of it.
People who think that it can also alleviate economic pressure are more willing to sign up.
Little did they know they had fallen right into Roy's trap.
"This is 3.2 million faris, please accept it!"
The guild staff placed thirty-two specially made checks on the table, each worth ten million falies.
"I really hit the jackpot!"
Artemis, Letesa, Lanti, and others, along with former members of the Astrea Familia, stared in disbelief at the guild-made check before them.
If they wanted, they could simply take these checks and cash them in a mountain of gold coins!
"Why? Didn't those adventurers choose to pay in installments?" Artemis murmured.
All the girls present also had blank expressions.
There were about two hundred adventurers who signed up for the course, and the vast majority of them chose to pay in installments. Theoretically, they should be able to receive the money after twelve months.
The girls from both clans turned their puzzled gazes toward the boy who had created the miracle.
"It's not as mysterious as you think!"
Roy smiled and explained the principle to everyone.
This is how the real estate industry leverages its assets.
A developer acquires a piece of land, mortgages it to a bank, obtains more money, and continues to buy land and mortgage it again—this process repeats itself, allowing their assets to grow rapidly like a snowball. Although there is a bubble inside, you can still say how big it is!
In this game, guilds are like banks, Artemis is like a developer, her martial arts and archery skills are like land, and adventurers are like homebuyers.
Artemis used her skills and archery to attract many adventurers, who then signed installment contracts with her.
Then, take the contracts signed by these adventurers to the guild as collateral to exchange for more money.
For example, the cost for an adventurer to enroll in the course is two million falies, payable in twelve installments.
After the contract is transferred to the guild, the guild will take 500,000 Fali from it, but will pay Artemis 1.5 million Fali in one lump sum. The remaining 12 months of long debt collection period will be the responsibility of the guild.
As Roy's voice faded, a deep, deathly silence fell over the brightly lit hall.
All that could be heard were the girls' breathing.
After a long silence, Artemis said, "Astraea, that child is horrible!"
Artemis felt like her head was about to explode. The process wasn't complicated, but it was very ingenious. She looked at Roy in disbelief, wondering how his head was structured to come up with something like this!
The girls from both clans were even more shocked.
I'd heard that this young man had an incredible ability to make money, and this time, earning 100 million falies in a single day only proved it. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to transfer the title of "God of Commerce" that Hermes was supposed to be given to Roy!
"Hehe!" Astraea smiled and, after Roy's explanation, they certainly understood the benefits of this process.
If Artemis does her job diligently, she will indeed receive the full profit after twelve months, but who can guarantee that no unexpected events will occur during that time?
The mortality rate for adventurers entering dungeons is extremely high, exceeding 50%. If someone dies midway, the remaining money is naturally lost.
Or the adventurer might run away or choose to become a deadbeat—
After entrusting the contract to the guild, Artemis no longer needed to worry about these issues.
Who would dare owe the guild money?
"I don't want to stay in Orario anymore!" At the guild's command, numerous members of the Familia immediately transformed into debt collectors.
Moreover, this money might help Artemis's Familia overcome the difficulties they are about to face. If they cannot overcome the difficulties, then what happens afterward is none of her business!
It's like getting something for nothing, making 3.2 million yuan for free!
"Goddess Artemis, you must come back alive, or your reputation will be ruined—" Roy said, "If the developer runs away, you'll be condemned by everyone!"
Artemis's cool and beautiful lips twitched slightly. She was upright, disciplined, and meticulous throughout her life, but this time she was dragged onto Roy's pirate ship.
"Yes, I will definitely complete the mission in the Great Tree Sea!" Artemis said firmly.
The goddess who is in charge of "chastity" would obviously not do such a treacherous thing!
If Artemis were even a little bit more ruthless, she would have simply run off with the money, and as for the unfinished building (the adventurers), whoever wants to take care of it can do whatever they want, since they can't find her anyway!
But as long as Artemis can return, fulfill the contract, and diligently teach the new adventurers martial arts—
Artemis's Familia received a large sum of money and overcame their difficulties, new adventurers improved their monster-hunting abilities, and the guild received a share of the profits and the new adventurers.
In the end, it will be a happy ending for everyone.
The guild's willingness to play along with them is partly due to their intention to cultivate new talent, which can be considered an initial investment.
Roy also benefited considerably; most of the 3.2 million Faris ended up in his pocket.
Hearing Artemis's solemn declaration, Roy's eyelids twitched. Could this be considered setting a flag?
Don't be superstitious!
Roy refused to believe that a mere Scorpio Andaris could withstand the lineup he had prepared!
Sixty million Fali paid for the materials for the composite bow and for Roy's forging costs, and two hundred million Fali hired LV.7 Algana and Baje as external aid!
With the remaining 60 million, we'll buy armor and a magic sword!
"After you leave the city, go to this address, and you can buy the Crozo Demon Sword." Roy handed over a small note.
Artemis, her slender, pale fingers pinching the edges without touching Roy's skin, stared in astonishment at the note: "Klozo—the magic sword forged by that noble swordsman from the Kingdom of Lachia!"
Roy nodded. "Yes!"
The power of the Crozo Demon Sword is extraordinary. Even with Roy's current skills, he can only forge a demon sword of the same level as the opponent's at most. It would be better to just buy it directly. Welf has a whole bunch of them stored up.
What?! You mean what if they won't sell?
Are Alganna and Baje, both LV7s, on vacation? If they're not selling, we'll just rob them!
"If you need help in the Great Tree Sea, you can also ask the Water and Fire Fairy Tribe for help. Just mention my name, it should be useful." Roy once again demonstrated his connections.
Artemis's rosy lips parted slightly. "Why are you helping us like this?"
Roy first crafted a composite bow for her, offered her advice, and helped her earn money to buy the Crozo Demon Sword. He also helped the Fairy Spirits through his connections. Algana and Bajie were only helping the Artemis Familia because of Roy's influence; otherwise, the two, who didn't care about money, would never have agreed.
And in all of this, the Astrea Familia profited a lot, but Roy really spent a lot of time and energy. He is a LV.7 adventurer, and a day of his time could be worth millions of Fali!
"I feel I also bear some responsibility —"
Roy shook his head and smiled. Although there was no evidence and it was purely intuition, he vaguely realized that the changes in the Great Tree Sea were related to him.
Helping Artemis is also helping himself!
Scorpio Andaris's potential abilities weren't particularly high; he managed to hold his own against a group of LV3 and LV4 monsters, but the huge mess he caused was because the black monster was immune to divine power and swallowed Artemis whole.
This time, Artemis's Familia is fully armed, equipped with the Crozo Demon Sword, Water and Fire Fairy Spirits, and two LV7s. They can scatter the opponent's ashes within five seconds of meeting!
There was absolutely no need for Roy to intervene.
He couldn't get away for the time being either, because a major incident had occurred in Orario, causing quite a stir.
Although Artemis had already received the 3.2 million Fali, she did not head directly to the Great Tree Sea, as she also wanted to give an explanation to the adventurers who had made the initial investment.
During her time in Liaotian, Artemis meticulously taught all the new adventurers who enrolled in her courses, imparting all the knowledge she possessed without reservation.
Lessa, Lantie, and others would also help with guidance.
Artemis is noticeably gentler with women and will have physical contact with them. On the other hand, if a man is not treated properly, she will strike him hard with her ruler, and his cries of pain will echo throughout the sky.
The novice adventurers were left speechless with frustration. Was this a case of paying money to suffer? However, within the limited time they had, they did learn a great deal and could also feel Artemis's responsible attitude as a teacher.
The only ones who don't fit Cheng's style are the male gods who are not related to Qian and come here specifically to be tormented.
"Ah~ that's right, that's the force!"
"The world of officialdom has been open for hundreds of years. I really miss Artemis's little whip. That was youth."
The male gods with masochistic tendencies deliberately make mistakes, and each time they are whipped with a ruler, a blissful expression appears on their faces.
Artemis was so disgusted that she almost threw up her breakfast. She had to change the ruler in her hand every day and disinfect it several times, for fear of indirectly coming into contact with these guys.
Artemis suppressed her nausea and kept reassuring herself that this was a customer who had spent two million falies!
Joyful days must come to an end.
Artemis's Familia has all its supplies ready. When the time for the mission stipulated by the guild arrives, they head to the Great Tree Sea, with Algana and Bajie accompanying them.
Roy watched the convoy gradually disappear into the distance until their figures vanished into the sunset.
"Okay, let's get this going, it'll be busy!"
Roy withdrew his gaze, his eyes sharpening as he swept over the city behind him, a city hailed as the "center of the world." It seemed there wasn't a single day of peace in the city!
