In order to travel to the Star Luo Continent for exchange activities, Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er led a group to a city that Huo Yuhao and his friends were very familiar with.
Skysea City.
A bustling city, and also the largest city in the Eastsea Douluo Continent.
After more than a year of exchanges, the Star Luo Continent delegation will return to the Star Luo Continent by ship from here.
Because the airspace is not open, it is not possible to leave by long-distance flight. In fact, mechs cannot fly that far either. As far as we know, long-distance flight is only available in the Douluo Continent.
Moreover, the Federation would not risk having its technology stolen by sending the Star Luo Continent delegation away; therefore, leaving by ship was the only option.
"It's a rare occasion to celebrate this year-end holiday, so everything is on me today!"
Yu Longyue was extremely excited. He waved his arms and shouted, instantly earning unanimous praise from everyone in the team.
Having a son from a super-rich family makes all the difference.
Especially Yu Longyue, who had been suppressed for far too long, was finally able to unleash his true nature. His long-suppressed work had finally been liberated... making Yu Longyue not only excited but also extremely lively.
"Ohhhh--"
Of course, during the meal, everyone inevitably saw another side of Yu Longyue.
That means it's edible.
She has a huge appetite.
His appetite alone was enough to feed over a hundred people; his frenzied eating made Cai Yue'er's eyes twitch.
"Has he always been this crazy about eating?" Cai Yue'er asked Gu Yue.
"According to him, even the finest delicacies taste bland, and no matter how exquisitely prepared, they can't compare to the delicious flavors carefully crafted by ordinary people." Gu Yue sat calmly beside him, quietly sipping her tea. "He certainly wouldn't miss the chance to enjoy fine food."
"So he usually eats rare and precious herbs, not such a large amount."
The Federation Coin spent on a single lunch was less than one ten-thousandth of the daily earnings from Yu Longyue's money-making scheme.
"Well, I'm still very curious."
Yue Zhengyu took his drink and sat down on the other side of Yu Longyue.
Gu Yue looked up at him and asked, "What are you curious about?"
"Exactly, what kind of rare and precious herbs does he usually eat to achieve such a level of cultivation at his age?" Yue Zhengyu asked curiously.
"Don't ask. You can't possibly compare," Wu Changkong said calmly, sitting opposite him. "Besides, you can't afford it."
"Huh? My family is Angel Clan, how could we not afford it?" Yue Zhengyu didn't believe it.
"You're a member of the family, so aren't you aware of the issues regarding treatment?" Wu Changkong said expressionlessly. "Could it be that your treatment in the family is the same as Yu Longyue's?"
"Um... well, we really can't compare." Yue Zhengyu, embarrassed. "However, we definitely have the same resources as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The key is how they're distributed. Unless I also have God Level Martial Soul, I'll definitely get the same treatment as him."
Wu Changkong glanced at him again. "Do you think your family can compare to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"Why not?" Yue Zhengyu was very proud of this. "There won't be much difference. The key is that we are different types. They are mainly in business, while we are mainly in the military. There's definitely no way we can compare."
"I don't know if your family didn't mention this information to you, but anyone with a bit of information knows that Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon isn't just a businessman." Wu Changkong calmly took a sip of tea.
"Not just in business?"
"They also serve in the military, and their cooperation with the Federation is the best example. Otherwise, why do you think Yu Longyue's companies can operate so smoothly?" Gu Yue nodded, agreeing with Wu Changkong's words. "Without a powerful background, you couldn't possibly have achieved this."
Yu Longyue sat in the middle, smiling silently, showing no intention of interrupting.
"In that case, who do you think is stronger Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or the Angel Clan?" Tang Wulin asked.
Gu Yue explained, "Without a doubt, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is strong. Although they are neutral, everyone knows that at least seven out of ten members of their clan are Sea God Pavilion Master. This alone is enough to prove that currently, only the Qiangu Family of the Spirit Pagoda can compare to them."
"Wow, it seems like you know my family better than I do!" Yu Longyue winked at Gu Yue. "I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already explained everything for me. It seems like you can read my mind. Do you want me to take you home another day to see what's going on?"
Gu Yue wrinkled her nose. "Who's the roundworm? I'm just... just..."
"But what?" Everyone exchanged knowing smiles.
"But..." Gu Yue ultimately chose to turn her head away, skipping over the topic.
"I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced!" Yue Zhengyu was still not giving up, then looked at Yu Longyue, "How about we use the simplest method? I'll ask you a question, and everyone will know the situation."
Yu Longyue shrugged. "Ask away."
How much tax does your family pay to the Federation government each year? And in cents?
Yu Longyue thought for a moment, and since there was nothing to hide, she said:
"Hmm... over a hundred billion Federation Coin, 30% of which will go to the Federation."
Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengyu's expression stiffened, he gave a thumbs-up, and then fell silent.
This, however, left Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin, who came from humble backgrounds, completely bewildered.
What does this mean?
"The more money they earn, the more taxes they pay to the Federation. Their family pays hundreds of billions of Federation Coin to the Federation every year. Guess what that's like?" Yue Zhengyu rolled his eyes. "That's all I can say. There are many things here that can't be said. You can figure it out yourselves."
"Sometimes, even the Federation has difficulty managing certain families, so we've adopted a cooperative model. That's all I'll say." Yu Longyue didn't elaborate further, as it touched on a sensitive topic.
"Forget it, stop being curious. Knowing more about this kind of thing won't do us any good." Huo Yuhao waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to know. He had never been in business, didn't understand the rules, and didn't want to understand them.
Tang Wulin was completely confused. "What if we don't pay taxes?"
Gu Yue looks at Yu Longyue:
That means war.
Yue Zhengyu shuddered. "It's not that serious, but not paying it would be quite serious."
"Alright, alright, are you all just bored and have nothing better to do? How did we get this topic?" Yu Longyue was a little confused. "Your Majesty, shouldn't we go and meet up with the Star Luo Empire delegation?"
"Isn't this where I'm listening to you all chat?" Cai Yue'er said with a cheerful smile, and then set off, leading everyone to the hotel.
The delegation from the Star Luo Continent to the Douluo Continent this time numbered over a thousand people, all elites from various industries. The number of people returning from the Douluo Continent was also considerable, and the lobby of Tianhai Hotel, which was already quite spacious, was still packed with them.
But the most eye-catching of them all is the Yu Longyue.
Many people here recognized him, so they greeted Yu Longyue with the warmest smiles.
Not only that, but many beautiful women are also flirting with Yu Longyue.
In terms of appearance, Yu Longyue is indeed the best, especially his white clothes, which accentuate his dashing demeanor. More importantly, there is the understated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan crest on his chest.
This is the most important thing.
With this badge, even if you're as ugly as a pig, plenty of women will want to get into your bed.
Seeing Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but ask, "Sister Gu Yue, the captain is so popular with girls, don't you have any reaction?"
"Why the reaction?" Gu Yue asked calmly. "What's mine will always be mine, and what's not mine can't be forced. A big reaction is just making yourself angry; it's unnecessary."
"Wow... aren't you afraid the captain will cheat on you?"
"That proves I must be blind to have fallen for him, but I'm not blind."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinglan silently gave a thumbs up, Yuanen Yehui also laughed, "So domineering!"
Yue Zhengyu's facial muscles twitched slightly as he looked at Yu Longyue in front of him and said dejectedly:
"What a superficial world! I'm not bad-looking at all, so why is there such a huge difference in how people are treated...?"
"Because he's kind." Xie Xie to his side, put his arm around his shoulder, and then muttered to himself, "I've come up with an idea, do you need it? As long as you do it, you can get the same treatment as Yu Longyue."
Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengyu, Tang Wulin, and Huo Yuhao all turned around, their eyes lighting up:
What method?
Xie Xie closed his eyes for a moment, then slowly opened them, his expression very serious and focused.
"I am Yu Longyue, I am Yu Longyue, I am Yu Longyue..."
The three men had dark faces, barely suppressing the urge to beat Xie Xie up.
When Cai Yue'er returned from her social engagements and saw this scene, she found it quite comical. Xie Xie's antics made everyone around him burst into laughter, and they couldn't help but say:
"Stop playing around, it's time to board the ship."
