Chapter 144 Local God (Please Leave a Message)
On the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily.
On the 16th floor of the Peace Building, in the conference hall, Lu Dongjun and Chu Er finalized the Paramount business.
For 800,000 yuan, Paramount was transferred from the Lu family to Chu Er.
The land deed, house deed, and various business deeds of Paramount were all transferred to Chu Er. The notary issued the documents, and reporters came to the scene to report.
For 800,000 yuan, Chu Er spent all her savings.
Except for the house where she lived, all the outer houses and all the land were sold out.
Except for the business under her, she still kept it, and all the shares invested in other people's businesses were recovered.
She still owed more than 200,000 yuan in foreign debts, and finally bought Paramount.
Is there no one in the Chu family who cares about her after all this?
No one really cares.
Chu Er's identity is very different from other rich ladies.
Five years ago, when they joined hands with the Lu family to open up new land, the head of the Chu family, Chu Er's father, was seriously injured and died. The Chu family is currently managed by her eldest brother and two aunts.
After Chu Er got a part of the property, he independently managed his own business. In the past five years, she has paid a certain amount of bonus to the Chu family every year. As for how Chu Er specifically manages the business, others are not allowed to interfere.
Chu Er was very excited to get the Paramount, and he walked up and down in the Paramount until late at night.
In fact, the Paramount is not high or too big, with only three floors in total, but it is the signboard of Green Water City, a signboard that is more dazzling than the Peace Building.
People in Green Water City may not envy the suits and leather shoes in the Peace Building, but they will definitely yearn for the lights and wine in the Paramount.
The first floor is the hotel, with a total of six banquet halls and more than 100 large and small boxes.
The second floor is the dance floor, which is the essence of the Paramount. There is a large dance floor, five round halls, and 16 celebrity rooms.
Needless to say, the big dance floor, with band accompaniment and singing by the queen of singing, is mainly jazz, and elegant classical music and popular modern music are also common. The big dance floor of Paramount can accommodate thousands of people, and the queen of singing and dancing every year is selected from Paramount.
The round hall is smaller than the big dance floor. Each round hall can accommodate hundreds of people, which is suitable for gatherings. People in other states often call it a party.
The VIP room is special. Each room can accommodate more than a dozen people. The VIP sings for the VIP guests alone in the room.
Imagine what it feels like to be in a box and a popular queen of singing sings for one person alone.
If things go well, maybe she can sing something else.
The VIP room is exclusive to the queen of singing. The queen of singing Xia Yijun's room is called Yijunzhai. As long as Xia Yijun is still under Paramount, the name of this room will not change.
If Xia Yijun is dismissed by Paramount, or she changes jobs herself, this room will be taken over by someone else.
Of course, not every singing queen can occupy a wing room in Paramount. There are singing queens every year, but there is only one in Paramount.
Jiang Mengting, the singing queen at that time, had her own exclusive wing room in Paramount, called Mengtingju. Later, Chu Er paid a high price and poached her from Paramount.
Later, no one knew what means Ma Wu used to poach Jiang Mengting from Chu Er again.
Now none of this matters.
Now the entire Paramount belongs to Chu Er!
Chu Er went to the third floor of Paramount. There were 76 suites on the third floor. She opened the one with the best view and looked at the endless stream of pedestrians and vehicles on the street.
For a while, Chu Er had an illusion that the entire Green Water City belonged to her.
For now, the most dazzling sign in Green Water City does belong to her.
Yang Yanzheng said beside him: "Miss, why don't we open the business today."
Because Lu Dongjun was caught up in a series of turmoil, Paramount has been closed for several days.
As soon as the newspaper report came out today, many people have asked about ordering meals and booking rooms.
Paramount has never lacked business.
But Chu Er didn't want to open today.
"Don't be impatient. The opening must have a good momentum. Choose a good day, and we will hold a singing party. Send invitations to major families and invite all the famous people to come!"
Yang Yanzheng frowned and didn't dare to speak.
Chu Er spent all his family's wealth, and now he wants to hold a singing party.
It is serious to open the business and make a profit as soon as possible. Can't the singing party wait until after the New Year?
The lady gave the order, and Yang Yanzheng had to go to take care of it. Before he left, he heard Chu Er specifically instruct him: "Send an invitation to Ma Wu and ask him to come. I will see if he is itching to come.
I will discuss the price with him at that time. If he can make Paramount more presentable, I am willing to return Xiaoyaowu to him!"
...
Ma Wu was reading a newspaper in Lanyang Village. When he saw Chu Er bought Paramount, the newspaper almost fell to the ground.
Not good!
This crazy woman really stirred up a hornet's nest. Chu Er has been struggling in the business world for so many years, how could he make such a mistake?
She wanted Paramount too much.
In fact, Ma Wu could understand that if he were in Chu Er's position, he might also take Paramount at all costs. The temptation of Paramount to a businessman is too great.
Ma Wu was calculating the next direction of the matter, and he soon saw a novel on the fourth page.
The grievances and hatreds between the down-and-out young man and the infatuated young lady.
Ma Wu had not noticed this novel before, but he noticed it today.
The position of this novel has changed. This is not a short story. It has been serialized for several issues. The position is usually not conspicuous, but today it occupies the headline of the fourth page.
The location alone was not enough to attract Ma Wu's attention. The key point was that Lan Yang Village was mentioned in this novel.
Ma Wu read the content of the novel. Although the names of Ma Wu and Chu Er were not mentioned in it, it was a story about two people.
He flipped through the old newspapers and found that with the increase in Chu Er's news, the status of this novel also soared.
Today, the news that Chu Er acquired Paramount occupied the front page headlines, and this novel also rose to the supplement headlines.
Ma Wu must face up to a reality. In the eyes of outsiders, his relationship with Chu Er is no longer that simple.
Chu Er stirred up a hornet's nest. Will it affect him?
Sure enough, it did.
In the evening, Ma Wu asked someone to buy an evening paper and saw a news on the second page: Ma Junyang may come out and take up the Paramount banner for the Chu family.
Who the hell made this rumor?
Who said I want to take up the Chu family banner?
I am not surnamed Chu, why should I take up the banner for her? What's wrong with me marrying into the family?
Ma Wu had a feeling that the hornets were coming.
No, he had to find a place to hide first, as the major families could attack Ma Wu at any time.
Although Zuo Wugang was hired, a sixth-level martial artist might not be that safe. Ma Wu was struggling with where to hide, but saw Li Banfeng wearing a suit, a top hat, holding a feather duster in his hand, and pushed open the door.
He wiped the snow flakes off his body with the feather duster, sat next to the fireplace, and roasted the fire for a while.
Ma Wu said with surprise: "Brother Li, you are finally back!"
Li Banfeng walked for a full eighteen days, three days on the way there, and half a month on the way back.
There was only one reason why it took so long to come back, he had to eat a Jinyuan Pill every day.
He ate a total of fifteen pills along the way, and Li Banfeng earned four years, one month, and six days of cultivation. Adding the time he had saved before, he now has a total of sixteen years, eight months, and seventeen days of cultivation in travel cultivation, getting closer and closer to the third level.
The third level, twenty years of cultivation, even if Li Banfeng entered at the age of ten, and practiced step by step, he would at least be thirty years old.
Now in his early twenties, the third level of travel cultivation is within reach, and the third level of home cultivation has been obtained. If others knew about this, they would have to bow down to worship him. If others knew about this... I guess Li Banfeng would not live too long.
This also gave Li Banfeng an idea. He wanted to open up a new land and try to avoid other people's sight.
The new land is very suitable for cultivation. He can catch some lonely ghosts to send food to his wife, and then find some rare birds and animals to make pills for Honglian. Travel cultivation can earn a lot of time in dangerous places, and it will not delay the pills. Isn't such a life perfect?
In addition to cultivation, he also wants to build a shelter in the new land. In case of an unmanageable situation, staying in the new land is also a way out.
Li Banfeng planned it on the way, but he lacked experience in land reclamation, so he had to discuss this with Ma Wu.
Ma Wu opposed it at first.
The education he received from childhood to adulthood made him have a deep prejudice against Xindi. In Ma Wu's opinion, Xindi is dangerous and should not be easily set foot in.
But after a few seconds of thinking, Ma Wu suddenly came to his senses.
Didn't he plan to go out for refuge?
Isn't Xindi one of the best choices?
It was indeed risky to open up new land in the past, but the situation is different now. They have Zuo Wugang in their hands!
Ma Wu thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I'll call the big branch, take Zhen Jincheng and Cao Zhida with us, just in time for us to form a team and go to open up the wasteland!"
Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "Zuo Wugang can't go. If he leaves, there will be no one in Lanyang Village, and I'm afraid someone will come to cause trouble."
Zuo Wugang didn't go, and Ma Wu felt a little scared: "It's not reliable to rely on Zhen Jincheng and Cao Zhida to open up the wasteland."
Li Banfeng shook his head slightly and said: "According to my idea, even the two of them won't be taken."
"Not taking them?" Ma Wu was shocked, "Brother Li, do you mean to rely on the two of us to open up the wasteland?"
Huanxiu one layer plus Brigade repair two layers, Ma Wu felt that it was too risky to rely on the two of them to open up the wasteland.
Li Banfeng said: "My idea is that you tell me the process of opening up the wasteland, and I will open up the wasteland myself, and you don't even have to go."
"That won't work! Some things can't be explained clearly, and I have to do it myself." Ma Wu wants to go to Xindi to take refuge, and he must go with him.
"If you follow me, what about cultivation?" Li Banfeng is a travel cultivator, and walking is considered cultivation. Ma Wu is a joy cultivator, so he must not bring the girl with him this time.
Ma Wu thought for a moment and said, "Let's use pills to support it. The Jinyuan Pills I ate before saved me a hundred days of time. It will take at most one month to open up the wasteland. Just treat it as recuperation. I can bear it."
Li Banfeng agreed: "Okay, let's go together. Let's talk about the rules of opening up the wasteland first. Do we have to prepare offerings first?"
Ma Wu nodded and said, "Offerings are easy. As long as there is wine and food, the richer the wine and food, the faster the local gods in the wasteland will respond."
Li Banfeng thought this was easy: "Then let Xiao Chuanzi prepare it, Take all the best food and drinks we can afford."
"Brother Li, we have to do it within our means."
"What's the point of doing it within our means for a little food and drink? What if we can't afford it?"
"We can afford it, but we're afraid we can't afford it. There is usually only one local god within a hundred miles of the wasteland.
If this local god accepts our offerings, he will reward us with a plot of land. The more offerings we make, the bigger the plot of land will be."
Li Banfeng nodded happily and said, "The bigger the better, the bigger the better!"
Ma Wu shook his head: "It's good to be bigger, but it also has to be affordable. The land god gave the land, but it's not for nothing. We have to pass the school entrance examination."
Let's sprinkle blood on the land and make a contract, which will take effect one day later.
When the land developer enters the land, the land god summons the surrounding aliens and besieges the land developer. The land developer holds the land for three days and does not cross the boundary. The land is ours. This is called a test in the jargon. "
Li Banfeng understood this rule. The old gatekeeper of Yujiazhai had said that the land pioneers and the owners of the new land did not have to be the same people. The owners of the new land would first shed blood to sign the contract, and the land pioneers would not enter the new land until the next day.
Ma Wu continued: "Plots of land are generally divided into four categories. The smallest category is one mile in radius. The land god will summon ordinary aliens to take the exam. Under normal circumstances, it only takes three or five times. If you are lucky, only one will be able to do it." Those who come once are unlucky, and some come more than ten times.
This kind of wasteland can be opened by finding five or six first-level cultivators. If you really can't find cultivators, there is hope if you find dozens of strong men. However, there are other troubles when there are too many people. We will talk about it in detail on the way. "
Li Banfeng thought back to Yu Nan's Yujiazhai in Xindi. It was less than a mile in radius. It was estimated that some areas had not been fully developed. It should be the smallest wasteland.
Ma Wu continued: "The second type of wasteland is three miles in radius. This type of wasteland is much more difficult. The Earth God will summon more than a dozen different species a day to attack the people who opened the wasteland in turn.
If you want to open up a three-mile radius, you have to hire professionals like Da Boyens to come over and open up land. Da Boyens charges a very high price and usually only provides guidance and rarely does it himself, and he may not be able to successfully open the land.
The larger one is a plot of land with a radius of five miles. This kind of land needs at least an eighth-level cultivator to be able to hope to open up the wasteland. All the people sent by the Earth God are ruthless, and Mrs. Demi Moth is not uncommon. ,
The largest one has a radius of ten miles. I don’t understand this. It is said that the Lu family and the Chu family once jointly opened up a ten-mile wasteland, but they failed. This is how the head of the Chu family died.
Brother Li, with the strength you and I have today, it is already a blessing to be able to open a piece of wasteland with a radius of one mile, so the offerings must be moderate.
If too many offerings are prepared and the local god is happy and gives us a piece of land with a radius of ten miles, the land reclamation is doomed to fail. "
"If you fail, you will fail. Just do it again." Li Banfeng was very tolerant.
Ma Wu shook his head and said: "We can't do this again. If we fail to open up wasteland, we will be looked down upon by the local gods. Within a radius of a hundred miles, the two of us can no longer open up wasteland. We can't be the masters, nor can we be the pioneers."
PS: What should you do if you meet Mrs. Demi Moth while opening up wasteland?
