Chapter Ninety-Nine: On the Road

(Thanks to the book friend "Ten Colors の Sakura Painting" for the tip.) )

……

When Zhou Yao opened his eyes again, he found that he was already in the carriage. Sakiya, Erdu, and Yuya are all sitting next to him.

The carriage shook from time to time, telling him that the carriage was moving.

"Already retreating? How long did I sleep? ”

Zhou Yao looked through the car window and looked at the scenery outside, which was a monotonous rugged mountain road.

"Yes, I slept in the carriage for about twenty minutes." Sakuya took out her pocket watch and confirmed.

"You're not hurt, I remember when you and Erdu were fighting with the mask again." Zhou Yao knew in his heart and asked him about the situation after he fell asleep.

"Thanks to the owner's care, although there is a little trouble, it is fine." Sakuya bowed her head in thanks.

"It's not even under it." The second dude replied.

"That's good." Zhou Yao nodded reassuringly.

Since then, they have said goodbye to the town, the city of Yod, and the eleventh district that has left him countless memories.

Uncle Lei stayed here forever, but fortunately, Lei Ruxue still had a chance to be resurrected.

You's necromancy flashed through his mind for a moment, and he could use it to resurrect along with Uncle Lei. But Zhou Yao immediately shook his head and rejected the idea.

Uncle Lei can only survive as a zombie when he is resurrected, and Zhou Yao still hopes that he will be buried in peace. In fact, this is only the most superficial reason, Zhou Yao's real idea is that he doesn't have the courage to resurrect Uncle Lei, and he doesn't have the face to face Uncle Lei again.

obviously entrusted Lei Ruxue to him before he died, but he failed to keep the agreement. Let Lei Ruxue become what she is now.

So he had to make amends, make up for the mistakes he had made.

It is impossible to live as a human being, but at least, Zhou Yao hopes that Lei Ruxue can live as a corpse concubine, and this is Zhou Yao's only chance to make up for Uncle Lei's last wish.

And unlike Uncle Lei, who has lived for half a lifetime, Lei Ruxue still has a lot of youth that has not been squandered. You can't just end your life.

Thinking too much for a while, Zhou Yao felt that his head was a little groggy.

In order to dispel this feeling, Zhou Yao diverted his attention and spoke.

"The next thing is to go to the Central Province, we have more people now, and there will be more in the future, it's time to consider buying a private house as a base, and I also want to get a shop and open a specialty store for magic weapons. And the next unlock task is to collect dragon blood, if you can find it in the Central Province......"

Zhou Yao told him the arrangement he had prescribed, and suddenly found that whether it was a private house or a store, or the collection of dragon blood, it seemed that it was inseparable from money.

"It seems that when we get to the central province, we have to solve the problem of money first." Zhou Yao, who said this, felt a little embarrassed himself. Sure enough, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. After saying so much, it all came to the money in the end.

"How do I make money?" He seemed to be asking himself, as if he were asking the three people present.

"Assassination." This is Sakiya's answer.

Do you mean assassinating rich people or being a professional killer?

"Plunder." This is the answer of the second generation.

Please, the battle has just ended, where do you want me to plunder?

"Sleep." This is the excellent answer.

Feed! You just want to sleep!

Regarding the answers given by the three of them, Zhou Yao was tired of complaining. It's a fool to expect them to give a reasonable answer.

"Anyway, don't you have financial management skills, isn't there a way?"

The definition of financial management is very broad, and making money should also be included.

"Wealth Management...... Well, I do have that skill. Sakiya paused, nodded and said.

"Hey, you just hesitated." Zhou Yao asked with a straight face.

Just now Sakuya is definitely a reaction to forgetting this stubble.

"Nope." Sakiya turned her head openly and replied.

"Forget it, tell me what you can do." Zhou Yao didn't bother to complain anymore, and turned back to the topic.

"Well, although I don't know the specific situation of the Central Province yet. However, combined with the information currently available, there are at least a dozen feasible solutions that can achieve the results you expect. Sakiya turned around and said slowly.

Then why didn't you just say it...... Zhou Yao couldn't hold back, but still complained.

"But since you also said that you want to open a shop, there is a way to do it very easily and quickly."

"How?" Zhou Yao vaguely guessed something, but still asked.

"Being invested." Sakuya said simply.

Although Zhou Yao felt a little annoyed with the word "be", he still knew what Sakuya meant.

In a nutshell, it is to use the effect and future of the magic weapon to attract sponsors to invest.

In this way, although a part of the long-term benefits will be sacrificed, all the expenses in the early stage have been settled. Moreover, Zhou Yao's desire to promote magic weapons is not entirely to make money.

However, there are two issues that need to be solved before that, one is who to find as a sponsor, and the other is the uniqueness of the magic weapon

So he looked at Yuu, who had been in a daze.

"Yuu, about the magic weapon mentioned earlier. Do you think someone else can copy it? Zhou Yao organized the language and asked

"Am I going to be copied?" Yu didn't answer, but instead asked an abrupt question.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yao didn't understand.

"The magic weapon you are talking about, I do have it in my cognition, almost the same technology. But that takes my magic to make it happen. ”

The word count is a bit much, and it took you several pages to finish.

"That is to say—" Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows.

"Replication can't be done unless there's a second me." Yu wrote.

"Great, that's our exclusive patent." Zhou Yao was happy and solved one of the problems.

The rest is the sponsor candidate, and the first one to be excluded by Zhou Yao is the three royal families, including the association. Because the other party is too huge, Zhou Yao doesn't want to be involved.

Even if he decided that he might enter the Taiyi Immortal Dao and was labeled as a spell part, he didn't want to look for Titiya in this matter.

Sure enough, it is better to find a family, and it is best to invest in it alone...... Zhou Yao nodded secretly and decided.

"Anyway, are we going directly to the central province now?" He suddenly remembered the question.

"No, I don't know much about the specific itinerary, but it seems that I will go to the Linqu first."

Yu ignored it, Erdun shook his head, and Sakuya answered Zhou Yao's question.

"Neighboring districts...... I see, I want to take a break first," Zhou Yao guessed and said.

After all, the battle with the Dead Apostles had just ended, and it was a long way to get to the Central Province, so it was only natural that they needed to take a break first.

"That's right." Titia's voice suddenly reached Zhou Yao's ears, he unexpectedly turned his head and glanced around, he didn't see Titia's figure but saw a white paper crane floating in through the gap, Titia's voice came from the paper crane.

"Just when you woke up, I'll inform you of the next arrangements." Paper Crane said as he spun around in the carriage.

"Then we will go back to the seventh arrondissement, and in addition to resting, we also need to change back to transportation."

"Change back to transportation?" Zhou Yao habitually asked.

"Well, it's a long way from the central province, and we can't just rely on horse-drawn carriages to get around. Of course, to retrieve the car we used when we came. Titia said with a little playfulness.

"Oh yes, there's still a car coming...... Zhou Yao suddenly realized.

Because he has been using horse-drawn carriages to get around since he came to this world, he has forgotten about the modern means of transportation. Obviously, they have seen such a modern weapon as a firearm.

"Huh? Sounds like you know a lot about cars? Basically, there should be no cars in the living area. Titia asked.

"Ahaha, I've heard it said several times before. Just remember. Zhou Yao said with a haha.

"That's right." Titia understood.

"Why can't I see it, it's clear that there are guns and other things." Zhou Yao asked instead.

"Unlike firearms, cars are too big and too cumbersome to transport from the central province. Even if it is transported, few people will use it, and they are all used to walking or using a horse-drawn carriage to walk. The second is that the car breaks down, and it is too troublesome to repair it at home. So by now, cars have basically disappeared in the survival area. Titia patiently explained.

"Well, that's true." Zhou Yao said understandingly.

"Don't talk about this, I really want to thank you for your help this time, without the two Heroic Misses, it will be difficult for us to get out of this battle." The paper crane stopped in front of Zhou Yao and said.

"Hmm. It's because of the masks. Zhou Yao accepted Titiya's thanks and asked.

"Well, there were five of them running out of the main city. They can't cope with it alone. ”

"What about the end result?"

"Three died, two ran." Titia replied briefly.

"It's already a good result, should it be said that it really deserves to be a group of violent women, all of them face monsters head-on."

Recalling the picture he saw before, Zhou Yao said jokingly.

This time, the heads of the three royal families are all women, but they are no worse than men. At least Zhou Yao only has a sense of amazement now.
