"Haha, it's true, it's true. It's true. I saved two hundred thousand soul coins a month ago, and I got two hundred and twenty thousand soul coins today! "
"Damn, I'm rich, I'm rich. I got eight hundred thousand soul coins in a month for nothing. Now, I can marry three more concubines. "
"Twenty gold coins. It's only been a month. Just by depositing the soul coins, I've gotten precious gold coins. Furthermore, I've gotten back all the soul coins. It's like a pie falling from the sky! "
"… …"
A month later, the Treasure Trove Store was packed with people. Those who had deposited their soul coins in the Treasure Gathering House with various intentions had already arrived at the Treasure Gathering House. When the first person withdrew all the capital and interest, the place was in an uproar.
Chu Rui stood on the high platform and looked at the crowd below the Treasure Trove Store. He sneered. Be happy, be excited, be crazy … Greed is the original sin, and you are destined to be destroyed because of it!
I have to speed up the process!
Chu Rui raised his head and looked at the city lord's mansion in the distance. His sharp senses sensed that there were countless spies spying on him in the dark. His expression turned cold.
A month in the Devil World was ten days in the real world.
After the intimidation before leaving, the remaining power had already dissipated. However, those fellows who were unwilling to give up were still accumulating strength, preparing to make a comeback. Although nothing major would happen in a short period of time, it would be hard to say for sure if things were to continue. Even though he was in a daze, no one knew that he was no longer in the Mortal World except for a limited number of people. However, the longer he delayed, the easier it would be for him to be exposed. Moreover, the Cherry Blossom Goddess couldn't afford to delay. Even though he had a year, this was only the first stop. If he delayed here for so long, he would have less time to obtain other things. This was very disadvantageous!
Originally, it would take at least a few months for the implementation of this economic collapse plan to be perfect. However, Chu Rui couldn't wait any longer. After a month of probing, even if some greedy people got some benefits, it would lead to a group of hesitant people who couldn't help but make a move. However, those extremely cautious fellows would definitely still want to test the waters.
Another month!
This was Chu Rui's bottom line. The second phase of the plan would begin in two months. He didn't care whether those hidden big fishes would make a move or not. Even if they were there, it would be twice the result with half the effort. But even if they weren't there, it wouldn't be a big deal. Although it would be more difficult, the plan would still succeed.
The pillars of a country were always the people, not the nobles. The power of the people is unparalleled. This truth had been proven countless times by the people of various dynasties throughout history. Once the ordinary people went crazy, the power they could unleash was enormous.
What was the purpose of living in this world? It was nothing more than money, fame, fame, and a little more fame and power. That was all! However, this was too far away for ordinary people. Ordinary people only wanted to have enough to eat and wear and to have some surplus to do other things. To them, money was the capital to survive. However, if the money was gone, it would be equivalent to taking away their lives. Therefore, how could they not go crazy?
Human nature was greedy, and there were very few people who could stop their greedy desires. Although it was not entirely true that ordinary people were ordinary people, due to the limitations of their lives and other aspects, it did make ordinary people very stingy. It was not that they were not generous, but they could not be generous at all. In the eyes of the rich, it was just a small profit that they could not be bothered to pick up if it was thrown on the ground. However, to them, it was already very rich. It was enough to buy an extra set of clothes for their children, a piece of jewelry for their loved ones, and an additional piece of furniture for their homes. How could the rich, who ate more than what other families earned in a year for a meal, imagine why the poor were so calculative?
Sweeping away the money that the poor had saved in the Treasure House was the last resort. However, Chu Rui had no time, so he could only use this trick. Their madness would inevitably cause chaos in the Black Demon Stronghold, which would cause all kinds of depression and wither. The huge Black Demon Stronghold would inevitably collapse. Chu Rui did not know how many people would be in despair and how many would lose their lives, but it would definitely not be a small number. Chu Rui was actually unwilling to do such a thing that went against the harmony of Heaven. However, he had no choice. The only thing he could do was to compensate the people who had deposited their money in the Treasure Trove House with the list that fell into his hands after everything was settled. As for how many people would survive in this chaos, Chu Rui did not know.
…
A month later, it was the second month since the opening of the Treasure House. It was time to settle accounts again.
Even though he knew that depositing soul coins in the Treasure Trove was equivalent to buying a hen that could lay golden eggs, and he could make money continuously, he still felt uneasy when it was like a pie falling from the sky. Therefore, they came here early to wait to withdraw their money. Of course, there were also some people who needed money to do things.
Under normal circumstances, they could withdraw money anytime and anywhere. However, due to time constraints, Chu Rui made a rigid rule that if they did not withdraw their money within a month, only the principal would be refunded and no interest would be given. He would also not open the exchange system. This made it impossible for those who were not interested in the soul coins but the gold coins in his hands to achieve their goals. Under such circumstances, Chu Rui gained the greatest advantage.
It was late in the morning and the South Street of Blackwater City was already crowded with people. The atmosphere was explosive. The Treasure House, which should have been open a long time ago, was still closed. This made the group of people outside, as well as those who had rushed over after hearing the news and invested a large amount of their family assets in the Treasure House, anxious, and had a bad premonition.
"No one, not a single person left."
"Empty, all empty."
"Gold coins, those mountain-like gold coins, not a single one left."
"It's over, it's all over. My coffin money!"
"…"
When everyone could not help but crazily break open the door of the Treasure House, they were all stunned. The Treasure House, which was still bustling with activity yesterday, was now empty. There was nothing left.
Angry roars, mournful cries, desperate cries … instantly spread throughout the entire Blackwater City. Not only that, but it also spread out like a plague, infecting the twenty-three cities where Chu Rui's Black Demon Stronghold belonged to for the past two months.
Unable to find the culprit, Chu Rui, the culprit, the people who were extremely angry rushed directly to the mayor's office and the Black Demon Trading Company. Previously, it was their guarantee that made everyone believe in Chu Rui.
Chu Rui flapped his Wings of Imprisonment and floated in the air. Looking at the Blackwater City that had fallen into absolute chaos, he sneered.
The indestructible Black Demon Stronghold was on the verge of collapse.
