Black Snake: I Got Food! Family! (cont.)

Black Snake felt even worse seeing Utopia making money than losing his own; he was furious but helpless.

Why are these industries so profitable for Master Huang, but not for us?

Why don't you think about your own problems?

The black serpent was also a clever god, and quickly understood the reason.

Unlike the bureaucrats who bickered amongst themselves, Master Huang's bureaucracy was able to integrate these low-class industries into a vast community of shared interests.

With resources and people's hearts united, the economic power can be unleashed at a level far greater than ever before, much like the Commercial Union of Kazimierz.

So, after figuring things out, the black snake was angry, but in his heart he was more impressed.

After all, there's a difference between the first person to eat crab and the second person to eat crab.

Because the black snake in the letter was complaining about being poor, Huang Cao put all his money in the hall, piling it up into a spectacular sight of gold coins.

While Utopia was making money in Ursus, it also shared a lot of the leftovers with the local royal family.

Although Utopia took over many of the properties of minor nobles, its territory was still in the north.

Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake; blocking the road won't be good for one's development in Ursus.

Let's all make money together, as long as you don't cause me any trouble.

Offering even a small amount of profit is enough to get most of the smaller nobles to cooperate with their actions, making it a very worthwhile deal.

When the Black Snake arrived at Master Huang's castle, he was blinded by the glittering gold coins as soon as he opened the door.

The overwhelming warmth, in particular, greatly surprised the black snake, giving his body the urge to lie down and sleep on the spot.

"How's it going? How's the heating in the basement?"

"Master Huang, your extravagance is so extreme that even the Tsar would have to admit defeat."

This land was once its own territory, and it knew all too well what lay beneath it—it had almost no resources.

Only by spending a great deal of wealth could such a complete heating system be constructed.

Black Snake turned his head and looked around, but did not see Master Huang's Great Beast wife in the hall.

That's fine too.

No one likes my "evil" soul, and it would be bad if it offended them.

Perhaps the petty-minded Master Huang would give him a severe lesson, for Black Snake had never forgotten the purpose of his visit.

Beg for food, beg for food fiercely!

Give me some firewood! I'm freezing to death!
