After fiddling with the Ghost Staff for a while, Dillard discovered that he couldn't use it. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, didn't you say that this Ghost Staff would return to your hand as long as you have a thought? Let me see if you can use it. "
Zhao Hai smiled and nodded. Then Dillard held the Ghost Staff tightly. Zhao Hai looked at him and smiled. Then with a thought, Dillard felt his hand become lighter. Then the Ghost Staff disappeared from his hand and then reappeared in Zhao Hai's hand.
Smith and the others were also staring at the two. Now that they saw this situation, they couldn't help but stare blankly. They stared blankly as the Ghost Staff disappeared from Dillard's hand and then reappeared in Zhao Hai's hand. They had never encountered such a thing before, they hadn't even heard about it.
After some time, Smith and the others looked at each other, then they looked at Zhao Hai in amazement. Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled faintly, "This thing is very mysterious. I don't know what's going on. I still haven't fully understood its abilities, I'm still slowly exploring it."
Smith nodded and said, "So it's like that. No wonder your strength increased so much in such a short time. So it's because of this Ghost Staff."
Zhao Hai nodded. Then Mike, who was sitting on the side, looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, what level are you now?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I'm already 8th rank. I can use 8th rank magic now."
Smith and the others' eyes lit up. An 8th rank expert could already run amok in the continent. Smith said, "No wonder the Third Prince is so polite to you. So it's because of this."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Indeed. His Highness the Third Prince knows about my strength, so he wanted to win me over. Although I agreed, I can't be regarded as his subordinate. We're only in a cooperative relationship, I help him and he helps me. If we really count it, then I can be regarded as his aide." Zhao Hai nodded, "That's right. His Highness the Third Prince knows my strength, so he wants to win me over.
Advisors were also common in Noble Clans. These people were similar to consecrated people, but they had more freedom compared to consecrated people. They were only in a employer-employee relationship with the Main House. If they get along, then they stay. If they don't get along, then they leave.
Generally, the advisors were some famous people in the continent. Not only did they have to be powerful, they also had to be very allied. They could give advice to the main house. Such people were very high in the main house.
Smith nodded and said, "Zhao Hai's choice. Zhao Hai didn't sell himself to the Third Prince. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome. Alright, let's not talk about this.. let's go, let's go have a drink."
Then he invited the group to the dining room. When they arrived at the dining room, Smith invited them to sit down. Madam and Megan had already retreated, leaving the dining room to the men.
Then a servant came to serve the food and wine. Smith sat on the main seat and smiled, "God's Grace Day will soon arrive, so us brothers decided to have a gathering with these youngsters. Originally, I wanted to invite Fifth Brother, but Fifth Brother and Little Hai had some grudges, so he didn't want to come. I had no other choice but to invite you today. I don't have any other intentions, I just wanted Little Hai to get acquainted with you so that he wouldn't offend you in the future."
Zhao Hai also raised his glass and looked at the group with an embarrassed expression. When Peter and the others saw Zhao Hai's expression, they couldn't help but chuckle. Although they were fighting for the throne, they were all smart people, they wouldn't do anything that would harm the Calci Family. They were different from Juwan, and because of this, their relationship with Juwan wasn't very good. Because of this, Juwan rarely participated in their gatherings.
Mike looked at Zhao Hai's appearance and smiled faintly, "I don't think so. Although this is the first time I met Zhao Hai, I can already see a thing or two about Zhao Hai. In addition to what I've heard before, I'm sure that if Little Brother didn't provoke Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai wouldn't have made a move. Also, Third Uncle made things difficult for Zhao Hai, otherwise, Zhao Hai wouldn't have done that."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, he raised his glass to Mike and said, "Fourth Uncle is overpraising me. This kid is just an ignorant junior, I don't deserve your praise."
Mike smiled faintly and said, "Little Hai, you're too polite. You've done very well. If you didn't do well, then the Buda Clan wouldn't have reached its current position in such a short period of time. Even if you're strong, it would still be useless. Haha, alright, let's not talk about that. Come, let's drink."
Smith and the others raised their glasses and drank the wine. They were currently drinking Zhao Hai's Milk Wine. This Milk Wine was roughly processed by Zhao Hai, its degree wasn't very high, so it could be drunk in one gulp.
Peter and the others didn't talk too much about the family's matters, they just chatted about their daily lives. They only talked about their brotherly feelings. This made Zhao Hai somewhat confused, he didn't understand what they meant. Could it be that they only came here today to talk about their feelings?
After a while, seeing that they were still chatting about their daily lives, Zhao Hai slowly understood. Although they were very polite, they were still competing for the position. Naturally, they wouldn't talk too much about their family's matters, so as to avoid being tricked by others and affect their harmony. Fortunately, they only talked about their daily lives, this was better.
Zhao Hai calmly sat there, looking at Smith and the others chatting. He suddenly felt very bored, these people seemed to be respectful towards each other on the surface, but they were actually fighting each other behind the scenes, it was very hypocritical.
After eating their meal, Zhao Hai and Smith sent off the three people before returning to the living room with Kristen and the others. After the group sat down, Smith looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, did you see something?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I saw something. In fact, this is also very good. Everyone can fight, but they must rely on their own abilities and not harm others. This is called healthy competition, I think it's good. The person chosen this way would certainly be a talented person, only this way would the Calci Family be able to develop better."
Smith looked at Zhao Hai and nodded, "Right, Little Hai, your observation is very careful. In fact, besides the Elder Group, the family also has a Law Enforcement Elder Group. This Law Enforcement Elder Group is directly controlled by a 9th rank expert of the family, even the Patriarch doesn't have the right to interfere. However, this Law Enforcement Elder Group also doesn't have the right to participate in the family's internal affairs. Because of this, even though the Calci Family's people are competing, there aren't any big problems. Little Hai, your Buda Clan's vitality has been greatly damaged. Although your strength is tyrannical now, in the end, there were a lot of short-lived clans that perished. For our Calci Family to be able to develop to this point, there are a lot of things that you can learn from. This will also save you a lot of detours, do you understand?"
Do you understand? "Zhao Hai nodded and said," I understand. Uncle can rest assured, I will certainly study hard. "
Smith looked at Zhao Hai and sighed, "Your Buda Clan's development has always been closely related to the Aksu Empire's Royal Family. This way, you will never be able to become a Great Noble. Although your Buda Clan has suffered a great disaster, this is also a chance for you to rise from the ashes. You can officially break away from the Aksu Empire's Royal Family and establish a millennium-old Great Clan."
Zhao Hai stared, he didn't think about this point. But he immediately felt that he lacked confidence. He was just an otaku. Now that someone suddenly said that he could establish a millennium-old Great Clan, although he had the help of the Space, Zhao Hai still lacked confidence.
Smith saw Zhao Hai's hesitation, so he said, "Zhao Hai, don't blame me for talking too much. You are very good, you have the ability to handle matters, you have strength, and you treat people very well. The people around you are also very loyal to you. The only thing you lack is your lack of confidence. You always plan for the worst and then do the best. Although this will make you less likely to make mistakes, it will also make you lose a lot of opportunities. You can't be like this."
Zhao Hai looked at Smith and smiled bitterly, "I also know this, but there's no other way. My character is like this. Also, you don't know about the Buda Clan's current situation. Our Buda Clan doesn't have a lot of farmland, we only have a few factories. In those factories, besides the hundred human slaves that we bought, we only have a thousand Giant-horned Bull slaves that we got from the Cow-headed Race. Our population is too small, and with the status of these people, it's impossible for them to walk openly in the continent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to run around everywhere."
Smith nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Your factory's assembly line production is very good. Father is already preparing to implement it in the family. Your factories should be very good, right?"
Zhao smiled and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that although the assembly line makes things faster, the things that are made must be standardized. In my job, there are some things that I don't use the assembly line to make, I still use the old method. Although this method is bad, the quality is better and more durable, so the price of these things is more expensive than the assembly line. People might not be able to feel it now, but they will slowly understand. When the time comes, those with status will still use the old method to make things, so the price of those things will be higher. I don't have a lot of people in my job, so I can only use this kind of high-quality route."
Smith smiled and said, "Kid, you have a good plan. But you're right, our Calci Family's factories have a lot of people, so it's impossible for us to produce goods like you. Therefore, assembly line production is more suitable."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's precisely because of this that our management cannot be the same as yours. It can be said that the Buda Clan's benefits are tied to me, so I don't dare take any risks."
Smith nodded and said, "You're right. Don't worry, just develop slowly. In any case, you're now an 8th rank expert, you can still live for a long time. As long as you lay a good foundation, the Buda Clan will be better in the future."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he sighed and said, "I didn't dare to think about this before. How long can a person with the Water of Nothingness live? Now that the Water of Nothingness has been detoxified, I can finally feel relieved. "
Smith naturally knew about the Water of Nothingness's fierceness. Because of this, he didn't feel anything wrong with Zhao Hai's words.
Zhao Hai gently shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this, Uncle. After the New Year, I'll go to the sea and get some things for Charlie. After that, I'll go to the Prairie, I still have a lot of things to do there."
Smith nodded and said, "I don't care about your matters. But if you have any good business in the future, you must do it in Sky Water City."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I've already thought about it. After the New Year, I'll go to Sky Water City and choose a place to open a shop. I'll let Megan be in charge of this matter, I'll have her discuss it with you later."
When Smith heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "You really want Megan to be in charge of your shop in Sky Water City? She hasn't done this before. "
Kristen and Diya also looked at Zhao Hai with surprise. They didn't think that Zhao Hai would let Megan come forward. Megan used to be a delicate young lady. She can eat, drink, and play, dress up, and so on. But to let her choose an address and do business? Is this okay?
Zhao Hai looked at the surprised expressions of the three and smiled, "Alright, I've already talked to Megan. She grew up in Sky Water City since she was a child, so she's most familiar with the city. Therefore, I'll let her do this. I think she's very happy."
Smith smiled bitterly, he didn't know that Megan had such a side to her. In the past, she only knew how to dress up, but now she was entrusted with such an important task.
Zhao Hai looked at the sky, then he turned to Smith and said, "Uncle, it's already late, I have to go back."
Smith nodded, then Zhao Hai stood up and gave a salute before leaving. After Zhao Hai left, Kristen turned to Smith and said, "Father, Zhao Hai still doesn't trust us. Otherwise, why didn't he tell us the location of the Buda Clan's residence?"
Smith smiled bitterly and said, "It's just like what he said, the Buda Clan is still too weak. Most importantly, they don't have anyone. Therefore, he couldn't say anything. Otherwise, if their residence were to be destroyed, then they would be finished. But I think that their residence shouldn't be too far from the Beastman Prairie. Otherwise, he wouldn't run to the Beastman Prairie. Moreover, they can receive some Beastman slaves there. Therefore, I guess that their residence shouldn't be too far from the Beastman Prairie."
Kristen nodded and said, "This can't be blamed on Zhao Hai. He had offended the Radiant Church before. The Radiant Church's influence in the continent is very big. I'm afraid that only the Beastman Prairie would be able to protect his family."
Smith nodded and said, "You two should pay attention to the banquets that are being held by Great Nobles in the city. It would be best if we have a good relationship with them. Have Zhao Hai participate in a few banquets. No matter what, Zhao Hai is now engaged to Megan. Even if it's for Megan's sake, we must also make the Buda Clan better. If the Buda Clan is better, then Megan's days would be better."
