"No. It's just that after Opening Inner Scenery, some things I couldn't figure out before have suddenly become much clearer."
As Romantina breathed, she drew in her Soul Power and asked why Zhou Qing had come. "What are you here for? Don't tell me... you want to ask me on a date?"
"No time for that."
Zhou Qing rolled his eyes at her without the slightest politeness. "For the foreseeable future, you'll be busy. Quite a few factions will come to you for support in completing Secondary Soul Ring Refinement."
I've given it some thought. We should raise the fee again. We can't let you suffer. Set the price at three hundred million Gold Soul Coins per hour. If they can't finish within an hour, they pay another three hundred million."
"You make stealing money look slow!" Xiao Wu stared in disbelief, realizing for the first time that Zhou Qing was such a shameless profiteer.
"Come on. Establishing the Red Assembly, developing our forces, researching Martial Souls, building schools, training teams—all of that takes money." Zhou Qing said that the ten billion Gold Soul Coins he had swindled from those people at Heaven Dou Royal Academy during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament were nowhere near enough.
Moreover, once the system based around the Red Assembly was truly established in the future, Zhou Qing intended to abolish this monetary system based on precious metals.
Precious metals were used as currency because they possessed value themselves.

Therefore, a kingdom or empire's future could be seen from its monetary system.
Earning the people's trust!
That was what Zhou Qing was doing now, and what he would continue
