The party ended quickly.
After the celebration banquet, the issue of profit distribution arose.
The Snake Gang was defeated by the three major clans this time. According to usual practice, the defeated party must cede a large amount of benefits.
The three clans first divided these interests. Although they were as close as family, even brothers had to keep clear accounts. If they wanted to stay together for a long time, some things had to be clearly defined.
After the three major clans divided the spoils, it was the turn of the seven major families. Without much trouble, they quickly settled the division of interests.
The Campbell Family received some territory and slaves, which, in general, would increase the family's annual income by approximately 600,000 Ta Pound.
This income might have been considerable before, but now that Logo has taken over the family's power, a mere 600,000 Ta Pound is barely enough to make ends meet.
After all, in just six months, the Campbell Family has spent tens of millions of Ta Pound on various aspects of development.
Going forward, this number will only increase, not decrease.
After defeating the Snake Gang, the three major clans have successfully established themselves in the arms trade of Sunset Jungle.
Especially after the previous large-scale war, all parties witnessed the power of the Red Crystal Gunpowder and the Strong Vibration Steel series of weapons, and their desire to purchase them was extremely strong. A large number of orders came in like snowflakes, and the three counts couldn't stop smiling. The profits were simply too great, and even Legendary couldn't help but be moved.
However, for Logo, the arms trade in Sunset Jungle could only be considered a small part of his income in the short term. After all, the profits were divided among three major clans and tens of thousands of clansmen. Although the Campbell Family received a considerable share, it was not enough to move Logo.
For the foreseeable future, his main source of income will still be royalties and patent fees from the Royal Court!
The first patent fee was transferred to Logo's account by the Royal Court's Ministry of Finance a few days ago.
After repaying the 5 million Ta Pound of interest-free loan, 9.6 million Ta Pound remain.
In other words, the first patent fee totaled 14.6 million Ta Pound.
This is only the first month's dividend. As the Royal Court gradually gains a foothold in the arms trade, the monthly dividends will not be lower than this figure, and may even increase several times or even dozens of times.
With the funds in place, Logo's family expansion plan, which had previously remained only in his mind, can now be put on the agenda.
During the gathering of the three major clans, he generously gifted 1,500 Heavenly Eye Mecha, precisely because the Royal Court's dividends were in place.
Moreover, with so much money in his hands and not spending it, Logo always felt that someone would covet it; he needed to quickly convert it into strength.
"Lunbate!"
"I'm here, young master!"
Have you contacted everyone?
"Everything is ready. The Seven Magitech Nations, the Gonis City-State, the Crimson Alliance, the Tia Empire... a total of 57 suppliers. Once the funds are in place, all kinds of supplies will be continuously delivered to the family," Lunbate said, barely suppressing his excitement.
As a die-hard fan of the Campbell Family, the family's power was something Lunbate dreamed of, not to mention that he was also involved in it, which gave him an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
"I've already transferred the funds to the family account. Next, you'll be responsible for liaising with these partners. Pay attention to these relationships and maintain them well. Put aside family internal affairs for a bit," Logo said slowly, putting down the communicator.
"Yes, young master!"
Lunbate straightened up and slowly walked out of the room.
Stretching, Logo pressed a switch on the table, and the chair gradually sank down to a depth of over 100 meters underground. The silver-white metal elevator doors slowly opened, revealing a large laboratory under construction.
In the corner, Crassus was busy at the experimental table, with more than a dozen mechanical tentacles suddenly appearing on his back.
These tentacles are made primarily of liquid metal and can freely combine into various shapes of tools, such as drills, wrenches, and palms, according to Crassus's will. They also have excellent energy conductivity and are well-suited to Crassus's physical energy. They were specially given to him by Logo as alchemical aids.
Arriving at the experimental table, Logo didn't disturb Crassus, who was engrossed in his work. Instead, he quietly examined a weapon that was taking shape on the table.
Judging from its appearance, this is a sniper cannon.
Crassus remained interested in high-powered long-range weapons.
Because of the mechanical memories that Logo tore through his soul and bestowed upon Crassus, as well as the computing power allocated to him by part of his Eye of Insight, Crassus's mechanical skills level improved very quickly.
This sniper rifle is quite well-made. Although from Logo's perspective, it still has many flaws and shortcomings, it is quite good for a beginner.
This wasn't just due to Logo's support in various aspects; Crassus himself also possessed considerable talent in mechanics. At least in the Gunner profession, the talent this Fat Tiger displayed could already be described as "genius."
About half an hour later, Crassus retracted the tentacles on his back and proudly showed off to Logo beside him.
"How's it going, boss? Pretty good, right? My ' Heaven-Shaking Cannon ' is pretty impressive."
"Not bad!" Logo nodded slightly, not discouraging Crassus.
"The name you came up with... could it be any more corny?" Logo rubbed his forehead, somewhat exasperated.
"Is it corny? No, I think it's great. I'm planning to make this name into a whole weapon series, the Heaven-Shaking Series!"
"... Fine, whatever makes you happy."
"Boss, is the family's major construction plan that you mentioned before about to be launched?" Crassus asked curiously.
Logo nodded; there was nothing to hide from Crassus.
"So, the family's strength is about to explode? Will someone try to stop us?" Crassus's electronic eyes flickered slightly. Although he was a bit eccentric and immature, he was definitely not stupid.
You mean the three major clans?
"Boss, don't forget the lesson of the Russell Family."
"Of course I haven't forgotten, so this time I've taken out 1,500 Heavenly Eye Mecha and given them away for free. I also plan to help these families get rich together. Do you think they'll still be envious or jealous?" Logo smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, Crassus suddenly realized, chuckled, and said, "As expected of my boss, Crassus, so forward-thinking, so far-sighted..."
Logo raised an eyebrow and teased, "Don't stop. It's been a few days, and your flattery skills have improved quite a bit."
After chatting for a while, Logo's communicator suddenly vibrated.
"Annabelle? What does she want?" Logo frowned, but still answered the phone.
A projection of Annabelle, shaped like a little girl, appeared, her expression unusually serious. Logo's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the three major clans were in trouble.
But what Annabelle said next put his mind at ease.
"Sir Logo, do you have any knowledge of bloodline studies?" Annabelle asked, his tone unusually serious, no longer referring to him as "that kid."
Logo sensed that this Legendary might be in trouble.
"Bloodline studies... I have some knowledge of it. What's wrong, Your Excellency? Is there some academic problem you've encountered?"
"It wasn't me, it was Tiffany and her brother. Sigh, it's hard to explain in a short time. Just come to the Thorn Clan." After saying that, Annabelle hung up the phone.
Logo pondered for a moment, then called Melier and they went together to the Thorn Clan.
