This Deal Looks Like a Total Loss!

Although Senior Brother Xinghe cannot speak, the three people who came out of the Spirit Crane Palace said that they have already understood Senior Brother Xinghe's heart!

Look at how happy Senior Brother Xinghe... he couldn't help but start the fourth level of joyful shaking!

So there's absolutely no need for Senior Brother Xinghe to say anything... With Senior Brother Xinghe's unparalleled strategic abilities, he must have already calculated everything on our side long ago...

Ma Liang said that since Senior Brother Xinghe has happily agreed, what are we waiting for... let's quickly announce the news about the air conditioner to the public!

As the saying goes, time is a resource, my friends! We can't stop for a moment!

Therefore, Ma Liang, who couldn't stop for a moment, immediately announced to the public that the air conditioner would soon be launched.

"Air conditioning? What's that? It can make you cool off in the sweltering summer? Is it a new formation?"

"Myriad-Year Frost Ice?"

"Chu Xinghe researched this? Chu Xinghe hasn't been researching the Source of Fear lately, so why is he researching this?"

Following the release of news about air conditioning, the entire Four Continents became filled with curiosity about this thing called air conditioning.

As everyone knows, anything produced by Chu Xinghe can't be anything less than a masterpiece.

Moreover, it was Chu Xinghe who came up with the idea, but the one who ultimately executed the move was Ouyang Ming, the number one Artifact Refining Divine Master in the Four Continents.

Let's not discuss whether the Ouyang Clan Lineage is reliable or not, but in the field of weapon forging, the Ouyang Clan Lineage has never had any rivals.

However, many people do not understand this.

Take, for example, Leader Bai Yu of the Xinghe Haters' Group!

Chu Xinghe neglects his duties, Ouyang Ming acts recklessly!

As soon as the news about the air conditioner came out, Leader Bai immediately wrote a post that was 250,000 words long overnight!

All the authors in Four Continents were utterly astonished by the speed at which Leader Bai typed!

Is this Leader Bai born with some kind of system or something?

Isn't this writing style a bit too intense?

And not only is the writing style impressive, but isn't the typing speed a bit too ferocious?

We authors are considered efficient if we manage to write three to five thousand words a day, even if we're working ourselves to the bone... Leader Bai n't even update daily, he can still reach 250,000 words a night... Is that even a biologically achievable speed?

While Four Continents was amazed by Leader Bai's typing speed, it must be said that Leader Bai not only typed quickly, but the content of his manuscripts was also particularly insightful and to the point.

In this article, Leader Bai said to Chu Xinghe, "Chu Xinghe... don't you want to see what you're doing?"

Aren't you, Chu Xinghe, a chosen one of heaven? Aren't you Chu Xinghe, a master strategist?

Isn't Chu Xinghe supposed to be leading the times?

The Source of Fear is now right there, and the entire Four Continents are watching for news about Source of Fear...

After all, it is common knowledge that the Source of Fear is connected to a super Spirit Realm that has never existed before. If the Source of Fear can eventually become the Source of the Spirit Realm, then this former Dead Spirit Realm of Vast Heaven Holy Land may very well become a super Spirit Realm.

When that time comes, it will definitely be a great thing that benefits the Four Continents!

And what happened...? Chu Xinghe, instead of doing something that benefits the Four Continents, you went and researched this weird air conditioner...

What is this if not neglecting your proper duties?

And then there's Ouyang Ming. As the strongest Artifact Refining Divine Master in the history of the Four Continents, shouldn't you be spending your days researching how to create even stronger divine weapons?

What kind of weird thing is this air conditioner you built?

It can also eliminate the sweltering summer heat... This is something that could be solved by simply setting up a few formations, why would you, Ouyang Ming, need to go to all this trouble?

Just as Leader Bai's post sparked considerable public debate, Ouyang Ming's side immediately arranged for the creation of the first batch of air conditioners in the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang... Based on your requirements, we'll proceed with the air conditioner according to your previously outlined plan!" Ouyang Ming was now completely following Senior Brother Ma Liang's instructions.

What the heck? Why isn't Chu Xinghe saying anything in this situation...?

Chu Xinghe said, "You might not believe it, but this 'Silence Pill' I used was a bit too strong... This isn't just a matter of being unable to make a sound for an hour, it's for several days..."

Although he couldn't speak, the stubborn Chu Xinghe still managed to run over to the Artifact Refining Palace and tried to stop the air conditioner incident by gesturing wildly.

As for Senior Brother Xinghe, who remained silent throughout the entire process, dancing to cheer everyone on, the many junior brothers and sisters of the Artifact Refining Palace were also greatly encouraged!

In response, Ouyang Ling said, "Look at this! This is my Senior Brother Xinghe. Even with all his official duties, he still personally came to our Artifact Refining Palace to cheer us on. So what are we waiting for? Let's all give it our all!"

The words "We will never let Senior Brother Xinghe down!" echoed wildly from the mouths of the disciples of the Artifact Refining Palace!

Chu Xinghe, who hadn't uttered a single word the entire time, was personally escorted back to the Spirit Crane Palace by Ma Liang!

Ma Liang personally helped Senior Brother Xinghe to the rocking chair and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Xinghe. We will definitely handle things perfectly this time. Even if you don't say anything Senior Brother Xinghe, we can do a great job!"

Don't worry!

After saying all this, Ma Liang even specially turned on the fourth setting of the rocking chair for Senior Brother Xinghe!

"What's Daddy's dad's name?... Daddy's dad's name is Grandpa..."

Amidst joyful sounds, Chu Xinghe lay on the rocking chair, rocking so hard he felt dizzy...

Chu Xinghe thought, "Isn't this Silence Pill a bit too potent?!"

And isn't that fourth level of "Happy Shake" developed by that bastard Ouyang Ming a bit too much?

The person was lying on it and was being shaken so much that their brains became murky...

However, after much deliberation, Chu Xinghe ultimately decided not to stop Ma Liang and the others!

What the hell? Why didn't I, Chu Xinghe, stop it?

You've never learned your lesson, have you?

If I don't stop it, I'm sure I'll make a profit, but believe me, if I just intervene, it will turn from a profit into a huge profit!

So even if air conditioners sell like hotcakes, how much do they really cost?

Although I couldn't stop Ma Liang and his group from selling air conditioners, do you think I, Chu Xinghe, am powerless just because I can't speak?

Absolutely wrong!

This time, Chu Xinghe still made a move. Although I can't speak, I asked about all the pricing information for the air conditioner by writing it down!

Thanks to Ouyang Ming's full-fledged design efforts, the current cost of the air conditioner is approximately one and a half spirit stones.

Ma Liang initially planned to price it at fifteen spirit stones...

What the hell? Isn't it outrageous to sell Ma Liang's stuff for ten times the price?

On the contrary, Ma Liang was actually very generous this time!

Because a normal piece of Myriad-Year Frost Ice would cost around ten or more spirit stones!

The Myriad-Year Frost Ice can only be used for one summer before it's gone.

Thanks to Ouyang Ming's improvements, the air conditioner has a lifespan of at least twenty years.

In this situation... can you say that Ma Liang was not kind-hearted?

However, Chu Xinghe immediately put a big X on the price of fifteen spirit stones and then personally wrote down the order that the air conditioner would only cost one and a half spirit stones!

Upon seeing this order, both Qin Xiangqian and Ouyang Ming were stunned!

Qin Xiangqian remarked, "Brother Xinghe, isn't this a bit too outrageous?"

One and a half yuan is our cost... and that's just the material cost. Although, thanks to Senior Brother Ouyang's improvements, all the weapon refiners in our Artifact Refining Palace can now make air conditioners.

But it also costs money for our weapon refiners to create air conditioners, you know...

So, considering labor costs, selling it for fifteen spirit stones is actually a bargain...

However, in response to Qin Xiangqian's question, Chu Xinghe kicked Qin Xiangqian without saying a word!

Qin Xiangqian was kicked to the ground, looked adorable with teary eyes...

However, Qin Xiangqian was so excited that he had tears in his eyes. Qin Xiangqian said, "Who said before that I was no longer Senior Brother Xinghe's second confidant?"

Look at me now, am I not Senior Brother Xinghe's second most trusted confidant?

Everyone knows that Senior Brother Xinghe only kicks his closest confidants without hesitation... Just look at Senior Brother Ma Liang...

Do you think anyone deserves to be kicked like that by Senior Brother Xinghe?

So, did I, Qin Xiangqian, get kicked today?

What I received was an affirmation from Senior Brother Xinghe that I was still his second most trusted Senior Brother Xinghe!

Therefore, Qin Xiangqian assured Senior Brother Xinghe that if Senior Brother Xinghe said the price was one and a half yuan, they would sell it for one and a half yuan, and they would not sell it for a single penny more!

Senior Brother Xinghe, you can rest assured!

Only after receiving Qin Xiangqian's reply was Chu Xinghe completely satisfied, which is why Chu Xinghe was sent back.

With the price set at one and a half yuan, Chu Xinghe could clearly see his Misfortune Compass starting to spin again!

What the heck? You say it costs one and a half dollars to make and sells for one and a half dollars, so why is the Misfortune Compass spinning?

Because the cost of one and a half yuan includes the cost of the materials used in its production, not to mention the labor costs of the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Do the air conditioners still need to be transported? Do they still need to be sold through the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce?

Do these also incur costs?

So, in reality, although the material cost of an air conditioner is one and a half spirit stones, the actual cost of the air conditioner itself, including all expenses and even some after-sales costs, is at least four or five spirit stones.

Therefore, Ma Liang's price of fifteen spirit stones is truly a fair price!

But when Ma Liang returned and saw the pricing arranged by Senior Brother Xinghe, Old Qin was completely dumbfounded.

"Old Qin... with Senior Brother Xinghe setting this price, it looks like we're losing money hand over fist... maybe we should just quit..."

Ma Liang isn't the naive young man he used to be; Ma Liang can now calculate costs...

Now, let's calculate the costs. For every air conditioner we sell, we're essentially losing three or four spirit stones...

Isn't this a pure loss-making operation?

Is our Vast Heaven Holy Land doing charity work?

Ouyang Ming agreed, saying, "Senior Brother Ma Liang is right... We can't do this business. Besides, I, Ouyang Ming, have already controlled the costs to the minimum. Before I advance to the Slight Understanding Level, I'm afraid there's no way to further reduce costs. This is indeed a pure loss-making project!"

However, in response to Ouyang Ming and Ma Liang's questions, Qin Xiangqian smiled.

Qin Xiangqian said, "Senior Brother Ma Liang, although I, Qin Xiangqian, am your second most trusted confidant and you are your first, when it comes to business, I, Qin Xiangqian, am truly the professional... and Senior Brother Xinghe's operation this time can be called the greatest operation in the history of the business world..."

Senior Brother Ma Liang, all your previous maneuvers pale in comparison to Senior Brother Xinghe's performance in this round...
