A month passed in a flash…
Ever since Han Dapeng had learned how to grow crops, Su Yu had been living a comfortable life. The land was handed to Han Dapeng to manage while he idled about. He was just in charge of observing the growth of fruits and vegetables on his land. Occasionally, he would supply them to Bai Xiaoya and Bai Xiaolong. Bai Xiaoya valued their cooperation greatly and would often visit him personally with Bai Xiaolong.
Seems like it's better to recruit more people. I'll have more and more land from now on, and the variety of the crops I grow will increase too.
If someone took charge of management, Su Yu would not have to toil and moil all day. Besides, the Mountain Great King System was a comprehensive management system, which had management mechanisms that would allow him to see everything at a glance. Hence, Su Yu was not afraid that someone might slack off as he would be able to immediately tell if there were any problems. He could just be idle.
During that period, he had even gone down the mountains and made time to take a trip to the Five Deltas Continent Spirit Stone Bank, where he exchanged the Bai Clan's amethyst card for spirit stones to convert into system gold coins.
In almost a month's time, the Bai Clan had already sold 1,000kg of rice, and Su Yu's gold coins had increased to 10,000,000! Almost all of the rice crops that he had initially planted on that unit of land had been consumed.
Su Yu managed to become a millionaire in a short period with just a unit of land's worth of rice. He had to admit that the system was very powerful.
Unfortunately, Su Yu had no use for that money now, other than for the prize draws. It indirectly showed how exploitative the system was.
"System, I want to gamble!"
Su Yu's eyes were filled with excitement. Since he had saved such a huge sum of money, he had to take a huge gamble this time.
The system interface changed, and a roulette appeared. Similar to before, the options were still "You have lost terribly", "1x Random Miscellaneous Item", "1x Random Building Item", "1x Random Skill Book", and "1x Prize Draw Chance."
There was a large yellow button in the center of the roulette, labeled "100,000 gold coins per try" in the middle.
Su Yu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Perhaps because humans were born with an inherent penchant for thrills and taking risks, Su Yu would somehow feel excited and nervous whenever he gambled.
He clicked the center of the button, the system automatically deducted 100,000 gold coins, and the roulette began spinning rapidly.
Su Yu's heart was all scrunched up as he stared at the roulette's small-colored areas. Despite knowing that the chances were slim, he nevertheless prayed in his heart, It must be a colored one this time! Just let me win once!
Finally, the roulette gradually slowed down, and Su Yu's eyelids continuously twitched as he stared at a large patch of black that was mixed with specks of color.
Stop! Stop now!
Seeing that it was about to stop at red, Su Yu couldn't help but yell in his heart. If it moved past the red area, there would be a large patch of black afterward. In other words, no way he would win the bet.
However, as Su Yu was staring intently, the roulette mercilessly moved past the red part.
Ah, I've made ducks and drakes of my gold coins again…
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host, you have lost terribly."
Congratulations, my foot! You must be gloating, huh? I have 10,000,000 gold coins, so I have 100 chances. Continue!"
"Congratulations to the host, you have lost terribly."
"Congratulations to the host, you have lost terribly."
"Congratulations to the host, you have lost terribly."
"Congratulations to the host, you have lost terribly."
…
F*ck! Damned system! You must have cheated!
Each round of the roulette would last about 30 seconds and cost 100,000 gold coins per try. No matter how much money he had, he couldn't waste it like that. In the blink of an eye, he had squandered more than 3,000,000 gold coins, only to end up with nothing.
Last try!
"Congratulations to the host, you have lost terribly."
System! I'll fight you! Su Yu's eyes were reddened as he had lost such a huge sum of money for nothing.
One last time!
"Congratulations to the host, you have lost terribly."
System, give me back my money, I'm not playing anymore!
Sob… This is definitely the last time!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a chance at the Prize Draw!"
System! You…
Damn it, a chance at a prize draw? It's the prize draw again!
Su Yu's heart almost jumped out, and he was so agitated that his brain was lacking oxygen. He stared at the prize draw chance and wished he could raise his head and laugh out loud. Indeed, he would get repaid for his efforts.
Su Yu was content enough to have won a chance at the prize draw, and thus, he exited the gambling system.
"Would the host like to proceed with the Prize Draw?"
After pondering for a long time, Su Yu chose not to proceed. Since it was almost the beginning of the next month, he decided to save the chance for next month.
At that moment, Su Yu could vaguely hear the sounds of an ongoing battle outside. They were approaching the Great King Mountain…
As his Constitution had increased, his five senses had also increased greatly.
"I've really underestimated the Bai Clan's appetite. You actually have the audacity to pocket such a huge business!" said a voice, which Su Yu recognized to be Wu Zhangkong's.
"We cooperated with the Great King Mountain, and there's nothing wrong with that. What does it have to do with you?" Bai Xiaolong was infuriated and seemed rather disheveled. His entire body was covered in mud while his face was pale. He had clearly been taught a hard lesson. He was only at the 4th Stage of Outer Art, so he would naturally lose out in such a battle.
"The Bai Clan is already the wealthiest in East Delta County, and yet, you guys are still thinking of earning more money. Aren't you afraid that others would covet your items?" asked a gentle voice, which belonged to Liu Siyuan. However, this time, he was much less gentlemanly than before, and his words were full of hostility and threats.
"The Bai Clan may not be the best at martial arts, but we're no pushovers. Young Master Liu, stay out of this." Bai Xiaolong sneered.
He sighed and thought to himself, I was too careless!
He and Bai Xiaoya would usually visit the Great King Mountain before daybreak to avoid others. Today, he had decided to visit the Great King Mountain on a whim. He had been extremely careful, but someone still discovered him in the end.
The East Delta County's various major clans already coveted the Bai Clan, especially after they started earning profits from the rice. They were extremely jealous. As such, Bai Xiaoya and Bai Xiaolong would be extremely careful whenever they visited the Great King Mountain.
The Bai Clan may be affluent, but they were not that powerful. Since they had encroached on such a major resource, how could they not face the other clans' boycott?
Apart from the Liu and Wu clans, East Delta County's famous and powerful clans had also come over, intending to get a slice of the pie. Many of them had even sized up the Great King Mountain in a bid to obtain the secret recipe for planting the rice.
They all had their own thoughts and charged toward the Great King Mountain like a pack of hungry wolves.
"Hmph! You guys must cough up everything you took!"
Wu Zhangkong sneered and dashed toward Bai Xiaolong before throwing out punches rapidly. How could Bai Xiaolong, a 4th Stage of Outer Art practitioner, be a match for him? He had already been taught a huge lesson.
Although they dared not kill Bai Xiaolong, they still wanted to give him a hard time.
"Brother Han, help!"
Bai Xiaolong sensibly turned around to run away. He had been to the Great King Mountain a few times and naturally knew about Han Dapeng's status.
Everyone raised their heads and looked over, only to see a sweaty figure standing near them and slogging his guts out with a hoe in his hand.
