"Is this the new bed you gave me?" Snow looked at the pile of gold coins on the ground and frowned. She tilted her head and seemed to be distressed. "But I don't like to sleep on gold coins."
Sui Xiong was shocked. In his memory, dragons loved to sleep on gold coins, no matter in the stories on Earth or in this world. Even if they didn't have enough gold coins, they could mix them with silver and copper coins. If the conditions allowed, it would be better to add some jewelry and magic tools to the pile. Judging from Xian's reaction, Sui Xiong was right. Then why didn't Snow like it?
Snowflake sighed and explained, "I don't like to show my real body. Unless I have to, even when I'm resting, I sleep as a human. Haven't you noticed? Both Xian and Shuang's bedrooms are amazingly large. Only my room is the size of an ordinary human. "
Sui Xiong was surprised and asked, "Why don't you like gold coins? Aren't dragons supposed to like shiny things? "
"You're talking about crows!"
"Don't dragons like it?"
Snow sighed and said, "Prejudice is terrible!"
"As far as our culture is concerned, we like to collect wealth. The more wealth we collect, the more capable we are, and the more we will be respected and worshiped by our own kind. Over time, many dragons have turned this culture into their own hobby — for example, graupel, "she explained." But I don't agree with this culture at all! On the contrary, I hate meaningless hoarding, and even more so, I hate people who commit crimes for the sake of obtaining wealth! Of course I like wealth, but I like the wealth I get through my own business or labor. "
Sui Xiong nodded and agreed.
"You've made a lot of money, and you want to help us improve our living environment. I appreciate your kindness, but you don't have to do that." Snow turned around and left with a smile. "Also, help me clean up my room. The floor is full of gold coins. It's very inconvenient."
Sui Xiong curled his lips, put away the gold coins, and cleaned up the room.
"I'm a god, and I'm helping you clean up. You're so proud …"
The next day, he found Shuang again. This time, he was more cautious and asked first.
"You want to give me a lot of gold coins to make a bed?" Shuang tilted his head and looked at the jellyfish floating in front of him as if he was looking at a fool. He shook his head and sighed.
"Hey! What kind of attitude is that? "
"It's nothing. As expected, you're always so unreliable!" Frost shrugged innocently. "Do I look like someone who likes to show my true form and sleep in a pile of gold coins?"
"… Isn't it because you are so poor that you don't even have a pile of gold coins to build a bed?"
Shuang couldn't help but be angry, and angrily said, "I have money!"
"I understand. Bean buns are also dry rations. One yuan is also money."
Shuang was so angry that his whole body trembled. He felt that chatting with this bastard jellyfish was his biggest mistake today, so he directly turned around and left.
"Hey, you haven't said whether you want the bed with gold coins or not!" Sui Xiong shouted.
"I'll keep it to make a coffin for you!" Shuang said without turning his head.
Sui Xiong watched him fly away and sighed deeply.
"In this day and age, there are actually people who don't want money …"
He thought for a while and simply went to find Rode.
"You said that you plan to invest the money from the life-prolonging potion in the construction of the church?" Rode pondered for a while and asked, "Although I have also calculated it in private, how much money is this?"
Sui Xiong told him a number.
Rode didn't look very excited or surprised. After thinking for a while, he said with some regret, "I'm sorry, the manpower of our church has reached the limit. Although we have such an amazing amount of money, I really can't think of any way to spend it in a short time …"
Sui Xiong helplessly walked away, muttering as he walked, "What kind of world is this! I have so much money but nowhere to spend it … If I were on Earth, with so much money … I would go to the Third Ring Road of Beijing and buy a few houses at a time. I would live in one house, my parents would live in another house, my wife would live in another house, and the rest would be used as junk! "
"… No, I don't even have a girlfriend, so how can I have a wife!"
He sighed deeply and once again felt the so-called "malice of the world".
When the poor had money, they inevitably wanted to show off. Especially now that he was not just ordinary rich, he was very rich!
The Chinese often used the phrase "as rich as a country" to describe a person who was rich. The top local tycoons on Earth were mostly rulers of some backward countries, guys who turned national assets into personal wealth — for example, local moneybags who sold stones. But as far as Sui Xiong knew, there seemed to be no one who was "as rich as a country".
But he was now.
How much money did he have now? It was hard to estimate. Anyway, it was a conservative estimate. Any country on the Main Plane, from the central to the local, probably would not have as much treasury as he had.
Now his problem was, how should he spend this money?
The big jellyfish sat on the crown of a big tree and pondered.
"How about building a bank? I remember building a bank seems to need a lot of money … I can start a deposit business, and I can also lend money and mint coins … "
"It doesn't seem right. This is competing with the God of Wealth. Although that guy is a bit rich and heartless, he has a good relationship with me. It's not nice to ruin his business! "
"Do more scientific research? Isn't it said that scientific research is the most expensive? "
"… It doesn't seem right. Scientific research also needs manpower. Where can I find the manpower to do this? Now the relationship between the Master of Mystery and me is so bad. Many spellcasters who used to cooperate with the church have cut off contact with the church. There is not enough manpower. "
"Invest in the construction of Gars City?"
"Everything in Gars City is on the right track. It seems that I don't need a lot of money …"
He thought and thought until his tentacles hurt. Then, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good idea.
"I want to hold a World First Martial Arts Competition! Well, that's the name! Then, I call on all the people who want to make a fortune and are confident in their ability to participate. If they win, they will get a bonus. If they lose, they will also get compensation. In the end, the person who wins the championship will get a lot of money! And a medal of 'Champion of World First Martial Arts Competition'! "
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea. Although it was not in line with the original intention of "spending money", at least it was interesting.
Interesting, then it was settled!
So this matter was settled. Sui Xiong mobilized the power of the entire Church of Void Mask, and with the help of the transmission arrays leading to the capitals of various countries on the Main Plane, he carried out extensive publicity.
"Do you want the whole world to know your name?"
"Do you want to prove your strength?"
"Do you want to get rich overnight?"
"Then come to the Void Mask Amusement Park and participate in the World First Martial Arts Competition!"
Such slogans quickly spread to all the major cities on the Main Plane, and gradually, everyone in the villages knew about it.
Many adventurers went to the Void Mask Amusement Park from all directions. Some of them had unique skills and wanted to become famous and let their names be known all over the world; some were ambitious and wanted to compete with the strong people from all over the world and explore the way to a higher realm; some were simply for the championship prize because they needed money; some were more pragmatic and just wanted to earn a stable appearance fee; the most exaggerated were some playful young people who just wanted to use the transmission arrays for free and go to the Void Mask Amusement Park to see the world.
Near the amusement park, Sui Xiong had already prepared a huge arena. More than a dozen independent arenas, together with a large number of spectator seats, and densely packed temporary houses like pigeon cages, not only provided the basic living security for the contestants, but also let them see the ability and confidence of the Church of Void Mask.
According to the rules, the registration period was a total of three months. When the time was up, according to the statistics, more than 10,000 people had come to participate, and the number of people who came to see the fun was several times that.
If Sui Xiong had not prepared in advance, not only building a large number of pigeon cages, but also preparing a large amount of food, just the food and accommodation of these tens of thousands of people would be overwhelming.
But even if he had prepared in advance, the capacity of the Void Mask Amusement Park was almost at its limit to accommodate such a large number of residents at once.
Fortunately, Sui Xiong was now rich, very rich. He spent a lot of money, hired a large number of temporary workers, and with the previous material reserves, he managed to hold the scene.
After holding the scene, the next step was to make a profit. These people who came to see the fun, of course, did not just come to watch the competition. Since they had come to the amusement park, they inevitably had to eat, drink, and play something. For a time, all the attractions in the amusement park were overcrowded, and even the originally quiet underground city became lively. Teams of adventurers, who did not know anything at all, ran around in the underground city like headless flies. From time to time, they encountered monsters and traps, and burst into a burst of tragic screams.
The staff of the labyrinth were busy now. They constantly shuttled through the labyrinth, lending a helping hand to those adventurers who encountered trouble and were in a difficult situation. They ensured that these rookies who did not know anything were safe, and when necessary, they calmed their emotions and took them to the safe area to rest.
There was no day and night in the labyrinth. Often, after a wave of busy work, not to mention those rookies who lacked training, even the veteran adventurers who were the guides were exhausted.
But it was in such a noisy, busy, and tired environment that the reputation of the Void Mask Amusement Park finally became completely established. Whether it was a place to eat, drink, and play, a tourist attraction for relaxation and entertainment, or a good place to experience the life of an adventurer, in short, countless people personally experienced the fun of this amusement park, which also made the income of the amusement park rise steadily.
Liv, who kept complaining at the beginning, did not complain now. On the contrary, she enjoyed the feeling of being busy now.
Amidst this clamor and bustle, the curtains to the first World Number One Martial Competition had finally been drawn …
