There Was No Such Thing as a Free Lunch

At this moment, Chu Xinghe didn't know if Qin Xiangqian was confused... What Chu Xinghe did know was, "Why do you think I came out of the ninth floor of the Technique Repository Tower?"

Because back when I was on the ninth floor of the Technique Repository Tower, I, Chu Xinghe, knew everything about Qin Xiangqian's every move.

If the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce wants to establish countless locations in the Evil Shadow Continent, then each Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce must have a manager, as well as various shop assistants and employees!

So, does hiring each shop assistant or salesperson mean we have to incur additional expenses?

Chu Xinghe's initial idea was to equip the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce in the Evil Shadow Continent with all the Evil Spirit shop assistants and staff...

But when Chu Xinghe saw that Qin Xiangqian had already started recruiting shop assistants and employees in other parts of the Three Continents, he frowned and an idea came to him!

Let Qin Xiangqian recruit first. After he's done, we can recruit a new batch of Evil Spirit shop assistants and staff. Wouldn't you say that's double the expense?

For example, if a Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce originally needed one hundred employees, and I recruited one hundred more, and then I recruited an additional one hundred Evil Spirit employees... wouldn't you say that's like wasting resources for nothing?

Tell me, isn't this a huge loss?

Chu Xinghe said, "Take a look at my Misfortune Compass. With the proposal of this plan, has the Misfortune Compass started spinning again?"

Does this mean the Misfortune Compass already knows I'm going to lose money?

Moreover, Chu Xinghe said he had an unexpected bonus in this round!

You only calculated the consumption of two sets of staff and employees, but you forgot about the situation where half were normal staff and employees and half Evil Spirits. Don't you think there would be problems between these Evil Spirit staff and normal staff?

The chaos that Qin Xiangqian feared was not impossible!

If such chaos occurs, who knows what strange things might happen? We'd suffer huge losses!

So Chu Xinghe immediately made the decision, saying, "Do as I say, and arrange for people to go to the Evil Shadow Continent to recruit Evil Spirit shop assistants and shopkeepers!"

Seeing Senior Brother Xinghe's resolute expression, Qin Xiangqian smiled wryly and said, "Senior Brother Xinghe, this plan might Taixing... At the current pace, that means all the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce in the Evil Shadow Continent will have to open in at most half a month..."

"It would take us at least half a month to recruit these Evil Spirit shop assistants and staff... All the staff and employees of our Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce undergo multiple rounds of training before starting work... Even if we could recruit Evil Spirit shop assistants and staff now, we wouldn't have time to train them!"

Qin Xiangqian looked utterly helpless at this moment...

Chu Xinghe was overjoyed at this moment...

No time for training?

That puts my mind at ease...

If training is actually conducted, how can chaos possibly arise?

If they really do receive training, what if the Evil Spirits become obedient?

Now, without any training, we're going to do it all naturally... that's exactly the feeling of not having any training...

The less trained these Evil Spirits are, the more chaotic their off-roading becomes, and the more chaotic they are, the more excited I, Chu Xinghe, become!

No training required, start working immediately!

Chu Xinghe made a decision immediately!

Seeing Senior Brother Xinghe's decision, Qin Xiangqian didn't dare to say or ask any questions... Although Qin Xiangqian himself felt that Senior Brother Xinghe's move was somewhat outrageous, Qin Xiangqian knew even better that he and Senior Brother Xinghe were not on the same level at all. Since Senior Brother Xinghe said he wanted to do it this way, there must be a reason.

Without any hesitation, Qin Xiangqian immediately followed Senior Brother Xinghe's instructions and announced that Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce was recruiting employees in the Evil Shadow Continent.

At the same time, Qin Xiangqian personally went to the new branch of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce in the Evil Shadow Continent to take charge and arrange all the work of recruiting Evil Spirit shop assistants and employees!

But soon, something happened that completely baffled Qin Xiangqian...

The news that Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce was recruiting Evil Spirit spirits as shop assistants and employees caused an uproar throughout the Three Continents!

Countless people exclaimed, "Why recruit Evil Spirits in the Evil Shadow Continent? We can do that too!"

Perhaps President Qin could recruit more people from the Three Continents...

Countless people across the Three Continents have been pulling strings and using connections to try and become employees or shop assistants at the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce these past few days.

However, Qin Xiangqian wouldn't act recklessly this time; he would definitely carry out whatever Senior Brother Xinghe asked him to do.

Therefore, Qin Xiangqian's only targets were the Evil Spirit shop assistants and waiters.

To be honest, Qin Xiangqian thought that countless Evil Spirit spirits should have rushed to apply for the job the moment the news was released... But Qin Xiangqian waited for two days and found that the Evil Spirits on the Evil Shadow Continent were completely unmoved?

This completely baffled Qin Xiangqian. This was the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce recruiting employees... Wouldn't this be a case of people wearing down the doorstep anywhere?

Why is no one interested in the Evil Shadow Continent?

Qin Xiangqian quickly found out why... because the announcement was problematic.

Wherever the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce announces recruitment in the other Three Continents Four Continents, there will be an overwhelming number of applicants.

But this doesn't apply to the Evil Shadow Continent.

Because Evil Shadow Continent had just returned, they were unfamiliar with the Evil Shadow Continent Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce and even Haotian Holy Land, let alone Vast Heaven Holy Land.

In other words, they had no idea what the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce of Commerce's employees represented...

They had absolutely no idea what the working conditions were like at the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce of Commerce...

The announcement he issued was based on the mindset he used in the Three Continents, and it didn't mention any benefits or perks, so the Evil Spirits naturally didn't bother to inquire about it.

Therefore, on that day, Qin Xiangqian personally drafted a brand-new announcement, which detailed in detail all the benefits and treatment for the shop assistants and employees recruited by Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

Just as Qin Xiangqian had expected, the moment this brand-new announcement was sent to the Evil Shadow Continent, the entire Evil Shadow Continent was in an uproar!

"This... this is the legendary treatment offered by the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce? Are you sure this isn't a scam?"

"This is obviously a scam... I've been to the Blazing Sun Continent, and the benefits here are almost better than those of inner disciples from major sects!"

"Is this really a job opening? Who offers this kind of treatment to their employees?"

"The Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce n't possibly be hiring normal employees... they must be hiring assassins!"

"Even hiring a suicide squad doesn't warrant this kind of treatment... Are you sure they won't be sold off after they go in?"

"Brother, it's not that I look down on you, but look at what you have on you, you can't sell for that price..."

Although countless Evil Spirits were stunned by the benefits offered by the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, it is common knowledge that the Evil Spirit Clan used to live in dire straits. Now, the first reaction of most Evil Spirits to this benefit is that it must be a complete lie!

Therefore, the vast majority of Evil Spirits remain on the sidelines, observing the situation.

However, while there are those who remain on the sidelines, there are also those in this world who have no other choice but to take a gamble.

Axiu is an Evil Spirit. His talent is passable. Although he can't compare to those geniuses, Axiu's still quite good among ordinary Rogue Cultivator Evil Spirits.

With Axiu's talent, he could have gone much further... but after giving birth to him, Axiu's mother developed a chronic illness, and almost all the resources Axiu could earn were used to treat his mother.

Even though Axiu worked tirelessly day and night, the resources he earned were simply not enough to find a good alchemist to completely cure his mother's illness.

Many people advised Axiu to venture further afield, suggesting that he might find a chance. However, Axiu knew he couldn't go any further because his mother needed his care. If he went out to explore, he might only find his mother's cold corpse when he returned.

So Axiu stayed by his mother's side... But in the last two days, Axiu's mother's health has deteriorated. Axiu has borrowed all the resources he could and hired an alchemist for his mother, but to cure her illness, he needs at least a Seventh Rank pill.

Don't underestimate a Seventh Rank pill. A Seventh Rank may not seem like much in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but for many Rogue Cultivators, it might take them a very long time to earn one.

Since Axiu couldn't go out, it was naturally difficult for him to earn these resources...

Axiu felt utterly hopeless watching his mother grow weaker day by day.

If I don't go out, I won't be able to earn the resources needed to treat my mother... But if I go out, given my mother's current health condition, she might not even live to see me return with enough resources!

Just when Axiu was completely in despair, he suddenly heard the news that the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce had landed near them. At the same time, the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce's outrageous benefits for recruiting employees made countless people sigh that it was too fake!

Countless Evil Spirits said they had never heard of a guy receiving such outrageous treatment...

Some even speculated that the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce must be plotting something!

But Axiu couldn't care less about that... because even if it really was a conspiracy, Axiu knew he had to break in, because the benefits and resources of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce could save his mother's life!

Forget about conspiracies; even if Axiu knew about the perilous journey, he would still walk into it.

Therefore, Axiu became the first Evil Spirit to formally apply for a job at the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce!

And the person in charge of receiving Axiu was none other than Qin Xiangqian!

Seeing Axiu standing there looking uneasy, Qin Xiangqian briefly inquired about Axiu's situation before saying, "Congratulations! As the first Evil Spirit to apply, from now on, you are a member of our Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce!"

Hearing this guy who called himself President Qin speak, Axiu's unease intensified!

Look at this! Such outrageous benefits, yet they accepted me Axiu, so easily? This is clearly a conspiracy!

But now, Axiu knows he has nowhere to turn.

"President Qin... I noticed that the employee benefits package at Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce includes a clause allowing employees to receive a year's salary in advance. Now that I've become an employee of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, can I receive this salary in advance now?"

As soon as Axiu finished speaking, Qin Xiangqian frowned!

Seeing President Qin's furrowed brow, Axiu knew this was indeed a conspiracy... Just moments ago he was proclaiming himself a member of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, but now, when he mentioned normal benefits, he frowned... So, he'd have to find a seemingly reasonable excuse to refuse him Axiu, right?

So the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce really was plotting something... Those so-called benefits were just a way to lure us Evil Spirits in!

Axiu says there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Just as Axiu was sneering, Qin Xiangqian spoke up, "Alright! Someone, take him to collect his year's salary, and pay it according to his perfect attendance record!"

Axiu: "???????????"
