Opening a Hotel Requires a Franchise Fee!

[Comment: Refined and elegant, with a unique perspective. She skillfully portrays winning the championship as a painful loss, thus accommodating the opponent's feelings, encouraging her own teammates, and even playing the role of a shrewd and generous person. She has the potential to inherit the mantle of the Lion King!]

Without a doubt, Xu Nan once again amassed numerous points by saying he had just lost the runner-up position.

At this point, he was far ahead on the leaderboard for this event, and the other Ron Sorcerer in the multiverse could basically forget about having dinner with Almuses at Annadon.

What's even more terrifying is that Xu Nan's words will then be disseminated to the entire nation through reporters.

Even Xu Nan himself didn't know how many Activity Points he would accumulate by the time he came out of the Five Yang Lake instance!

"Those people at the Thirteenth Alchemy Center should be alright now."

When Xu Nan led the five teams of students to begin their practical lessons, he was worried about the heart health of his fellow countrymen.

Xu Nan was clearly overthinking it.

The people of the Thirteenth Alchemy Center are doing very well. Instead of mourning, they are celebrating their victory.

All staff members responsible for this event are no longer working.

They gathered at the hotel in Lost Paradise, drinking and making merry!

Sean, with his long, seaweed-like hair, was drinking the most. Their faces showed no trace of the worry that Xu Nan had drained them dry; instead, they were filled with indescribable joy.

"Come on, everyone! Let's drink this! Then we can file for bankruptcy liquidation!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone laughed heartily, their faces flushed from drinking, and their mouths greasy from eating.

Even the manager of the Sixth Alchemy Center, who was having lunch next door, couldn't sit still and couldn't resist coming over for a visit.

"Gentlemen, what's going on? Why are you all so happy? What trouble has Mr. Xu Nan caused this time?"

He asked curiously.

Sean rubbed his head of hair. "No, we don't check his points anymore."

"Since he'll squeeze every last drop out of us from the materials we've prepared anyway, we might as well file for bankruptcy sooner rather than later."

"Sister Violet is indeed clever. Before the event even started, she set up a separate financial center for the part responsible for the event to conduct separate accounting, and she even secretly transferred those treasured items. Her purpose was all for today!"

The head of the Sixth Center immediately became uneasy, his face turning frighteningly dark.

"You've filed for bankruptcy, so what are we supposed to do?"

Following the Thirteenth Alchemy Center, the Sixth Alchemy Center is responsible for organizing the monthly events.

"You're falsifying accounts! I'm going to file a complaint!" The middle-aged manager looked aggrieved. "You stole our idea back then, and we haven't even managed to steal their idea from the subsequent Eighth Alchemy Center yet!"

"You're all settling things up now, feeling good about yourselves, but have you considered how we feel?"

Sean patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's good to think about your affairs sooner rather than later."

"By the way, I heard the investigation results from the Fourth Alchemy Center are out. What kind of punishment will the Daily Council impose?"

The middle-aged supervisor sneered, "What kind of punishment could there be? It was just a momentary outburst of anger, how serious could it be? They found a temporary worker to take the blame, and the Fourth Alchemy Center is going to be reorganized. The leaders will be given a new position, euphemistically called a demotion; I guess you guys will be transferred back too."

Sean sighed, "I can't believe I'll be going back so soon."

"When I was first transferred away from the Fourth Alchemy Center, my hair wasn't this long..."

The middle-aged manager asked curiously, "Sean, didn't you lose a lot of hair because of Xu Nan? How come it's growing back?"

Sean's expression froze, and he showed a rare look of embarrassment:

"Once you've figured it out, your hair will naturally grow back."

"But this hair is way too long!"

The middle-aged manager looked at Sean's hair, which was so thick it could be used to mop the floor, with surprise and asked, "Do you feel anything special?"

Sean sighed:

"To use a phrase I learned from the Council Speaker: 'Hair down to the waist, you have to lift it to poop.'"

"In short, I advise you to prepare yourself as soon as possible. Xu Nan is a monster that we alchemy centers simply cannot handle."

The middle-aged manager nodded solemnly, having lost all appetite, and led his subordinates to prepare for Xu Nan's invasion.

In a corner of the restaurant, two people, seemingly invisible, watched this scene with a sigh.

"This is the influence Xu Nan has now."

"The Low-Level Alchemy Center fear him like the plague, but for him, earning Activity Points is as easy as eating and drinking."

"What's even more terrifying is that he has excellent writing skills, especially in writing essays and reports. Daily Council see his reports, we are always moved by him and sometimes have to make decisions that favor him."

Council Speaker Ophy lamented, "I suggest that Xu Nan be included in 69 Plan, which could help alleviate the financial difficulties of the Low-Level Alchemy Center in Lost Paradise to some extent."

Standing beside him was the imposing old gentleman, Mr. Luo Mang.

He had just learned from Ophy about Xu Nan's ability to earn Activity Points, but compared to Ophy, he was clearly more proud.

"I have no objection to joining 69 Plan, after all, we have been implementing 69 Plan for many years."

Luo Mang pondered, "The purpose is still to select the elite among the Ron Sorcerer, enough to fight against other forces, including the World God Kingdom and the Abyss Hell."

"Isn't it a bit too early to let Xu Nan join 69 Plan now?"

Ophy said anxiously, "It's getting late, it's getting late. We can't wait until Xu Nan has ripped off all the alchemy centers... no, I mean, squeezed them dry, can we? Besides, don't worry, with Xu Nan's talent, even if he enters the elite battlefield of 69 Plan ahead of time, he will definitely be able to survive."

Luo Mang glanced at him and slowly said:

"No, what I mean is, isn't it a bit too early to bring this to the rest of the elites?"

"Won't it affect their development to let them experience Xu Nan's torment so early..."

"Of course I have confidence in my disciples!"

Ophy remained silent.

Xu Nan had no idea how much trouble she had caused in Lost Paradise.

Right now, he's leading the trainees from the Fifth Detachment into the Five Yang Lake Scenic Area from the southern entrance.

As the instructor of the practical course, he was responsible for the lives of these thirty students and could not afford to be careless.

Five Yang Lake Scenic Area has been integrated with the Pro World for a long time, and many of its original landscapes have changed drastically.

For example, the desolate body of water that Xu Nan and his group are passing through now was actually the famous tourist attraction "Flower Harbor to View Fish" in Five Yang Lake. Unfortunately, the flowers have withered and the fish are gone now.

The waters of Five Yang Lake are severely polluted by magic, so much so that even Green-Skinned Lobster cannot survive there.

This left Xu Nan quite disappointed. After all, the Green-Skinned Lobster he caught in the Riverbend had earned him a considerable sum of money before.

Although Xu Nan is not short of money now, she always feels more accomplished with money she earned herself.

Running a dungeon with more than thirty people is never easy. It was chaotic from the start, and it was only after Xu Nan used his personal charm a few times that the team was brought under control.

Fortunately, most of the members of these five teams are girls; of course, even if they weren't girls, Xu Nan could still win them over with her charm, it would just be a bit more complicated.

"Very good, follow me. We are going to the north pier of [Flower Harbor to View Fish], which is point B on your map."

"There's a group of lame earth demons ahead. It's the fourth group's turn. You guys go."

According to Xu Nan's plan, she was now a mentor, which should have been a very pleasant experience.

When the trainees are fighting, all they need to do is sit on a stool, eat some sunflower seeds, watch the show, and occasionally offer a few pointers.

It evokes a sense of someone wielding a feather fan and wearing a silk turban, effortlessly vanquishing enemy ships and towers with a few words.

However in fact

"Watch out! Hey, don't fucking hit me with the back of the knife, use the blade!"

"Damn it, where are you throwing your spells? Do I look like a demon?"

"Heal the front line, heal the front line! How many times have I told you? You're a priest, what's with you casting Greater Heal on yourself? Your teammates in front are already getting scraped!"

"Brother, stop attacking your teammates with that Wolf Tooth Club! I know it's more powerful when you swing it around, but please, check if anyone's behind you!"

"Stop using the bow and arrow! Where are you shooting? You almost killed your teammate, you know? Draw your sword and use it... No, no, no, forget it, just use the bow and arrow. Remember to shoot upwards, don't worry about the accuracy, just let your archery skills run wild! Next time you draw your sword like that and die, I won't be able to save you!"

In a simple battle to exterminate the earth demons, the earth demons did not cause much damage to the students. Instead, the students were in a panic and almost committed a mass murder of their teammates.

At this moment, Xu Nan finally understood why the Salted Fish Three Brothers were the elites of the Training Camp.

So they really are elites... Xu Nan burst into tears. At least they can fight, withstand attacks, and deal damage, and they can even shout "666"!

Most of the trainees, except for Song Bai's group which was the champion team and fought the monster in an orderly manner, made Xu Nan very afraid of the other four groups!

At first, he thought these people were trying to sabotage his match against the demons, but then he realized... they were really bad!

Teacher Xu had no choice but to become a caregiver, putting out fires everywhere.

As soon as he came down, he didn't manage to kill many of the earth demons, but Xu Nan himself lost his voice.

Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain; at least everyone learned to check their teammates' positions before attacking...

As night fell, everyone was very considerate of Teacher Xu's hard work and took the initiative to find a place to sleep.

Soon, someone found a very good campsite.

But when the main force had passed, one trainee pointed with great grievance at a group of people who were camping out in the open:

"Teacher Xu, they've taken our campsite!"

Xu Nan squinted and looked at them. They were from the City North Training Camp, and it seemed they were also organized into five teams.

"Don't bother with them, let's go find others."

Xu Nan was exhausted when she came down and was too lazy to argue with anyone.

Who knew that at that moment, a student in the City North Training Camp suddenly chanted a spell and created a Leomund's Hut in the open space!

"Beds for sale! Live in my room and you won't be exposed to wind or rain!" the man shouted.

Xu Nan immediately flew into a rage. "Come with me and deal with them!"

"Don't they know that opening a chain hotel requires a franchise fee?"

A voice reminded them, "But isn't this Leomund's Hut?"

Xu Nan turned around, pulled out a patent statement, and gave a cold smile:

"My English name is Leomund. This is a patent application certificate, issued by the state, valid for twenty years!"

"Men, let's go take them down!"

...!
