Zaro's agent's face was wooden. While Zaro was fantasizing about the future, he delivered a cruel blow. "Senior Master, we have no money."
"Impossible!" Zaro stared.
"We don't have much money left from the auction and the land we bought," Zaro's agent explained patiently.
Zaro was shocked. "You really have no money?"
Zaro's agent looked straight into Zaro's eyes and said seriously, "We really don't have any money this time." He wasn't lying to Zaro. They really didn't have enough money to buy land, not to mention that Zaro was dreaming if he wanted to buy a large piece of land. Even if he did, he would advise Zaro to give up on this idea. The risk of investing on planet Wai was too great.
Zaro checked his bank account in disbelief. Then, he was hit by the cruel reality and sat in his chair in a daze.
To think that he, the big brother of Leizhou, would actually be in such a predicament!
If he couldn't happily show off, he might as well go home and plant watermelons!
Zaro thought about it. He wasn't willing to give up on his plan to buy land on planet Wai. He was pondering how to get money.
Zaro's agent's heart skipped a beat when he saw Zaro's eyes darting around. Having been by Zaro's side for so long, he knew exactly what Zaro was up to! To prevent Zaro from making any more foolish decisions, Zaro's agent decided to give him some pointers. Otherwise, given this fellow's brain that had been kicked by a donkey, he might want to sell off the plot of land on planet Baiji that he had obtained with great difficulty from Fan Lin.
"Senior Master, if you need money urgently, we can collect it," Zaro's agent said.
"Collect it?" In Zaro's dictionary, the words "collect it" did not exist. In his opinion, collecting it did not match his status.
"I am the big brother of Leizhou. How could I have the cheek to collect it back? That would be beneath my status. "Zaro was unwilling.
Zaro did not care about collecting it, but Zaro's agent noted it down bit by bit. The money was not "that little bit." There were a few debts that were in the tens of millions!
Zaro was stunned once again when he saw the sum at the end of the list.
"So much?!"
He actually did not know that he had lent out so much money!
"Collect it all! Collect it all! "Zaro gritted his teeth and turned to his agent." You go and collect it! "
Zaro still could not bring himself to do it.
The agent didn't mind. He had long wanted to get back those debts. They weren't the ones who owed the debt, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. But previously, he was worried that Zaro would strongly oppose it. Now that Zaro was finally in need of money, he had to settle this matter as soon as possible.
The agent was very satisfied with Zaro's decision. He thought to himself that he would let Zaro squander as much money as he could get back.
"I can chase the others, but for the one from Lazhou, I think it would be better for Senior Master to personally chase him. My status is not high enough," the manager said as he pointed to the person with the most debt on the list.

Lakalinazhou.
A girl dressed in an elegant princess dress was lying on the soft sofa, seemingly about to fall asleep. Suddenly, the wristband that was thrown on the tea table rang, breaking the silence in the room.
The girl opened her eyes and frowned when she saw the name on the bracelet. She raised her jade-like fingers, and the assistant hurriedly came forward to hand over the bracelet.
He didn't press the video call button, only voice.
"Foolish Luo?"
"Barbie!"
"We're not familiar with each other. Please call me Barbara." Barbara felt disgusted by the way Zaro addressed her.
"Return the money!" Zaro simply didn't care about anything else.
"When did this princess owe you money?" Barbara said impatiently.
Although it wasn't a feudal system, with her surname and status, Lakalina, she was not much different from a princess in Lazhou. This was what Barbara liked to call herself.
When Zaro heard what Barbara said, he sucked in a breath of cold air and let out a heavy gasp. It was clear to everyone how shocked he was.
"You want to renege on your debt?!" Zaro's tone rose in disbelief. "Back when you went to Muzhou to watch the competition, you fancied a flying potato car and had to borrow it from me when you had no money!"
"It's a flying pumpkin car!"
Zaro and Barbara both gave each other the same evaluation in their hearts: Damn retard!
Zaro was unable to understand Barbara's strange sense of beauty, while Barbara despised Zaro's brain for not being able to differentiate between a potato and a pumpkin.
However, after hearing Zaro's words, Barbara recalled that she had borrowed this fellow 10 million to buy a flying car. Back then, she had lost quite a lot of money betting on dogs. Afterward, she had even bought a few premium racing dog puppies. At that time, she had also fancied a commemorative edition of a limited edition flying pumpkin car. At that time, the few projects she had invested in had yet to make a profit, and she was still short on money. Zaro just happened to be beside her, so she had borrowed from him. They hadn't even written an IOU. Both of them had felt that something like an IOU was unbefitting of their noble statuses, so they had forgotten about it after returning. She really didn't think much of it.
"All right, I remember now. 10 million, right? I'll transfer it to you right away," Barbara said impatiently.
"Plus interest. You have to return 20 million. You said it yourself!" Zaro said.
"Did I say it?" Barbara couldn't remember what she had said back then.
"Yes!" Zaro said with certainty. When his agent had recorded the debt, he had even made a note, so it must have been true.
Barbara thought back and realized that it had been true.
"All right, 20 million it is then." Barbara didn't haggle over this. The projects she had invested in had made a lot of profits, and her little treasury was ample. Just as she was about to get her assistant to transfer the money, she suddenly paused.
Being so anxious to chase a debt of 20 million wasn't in line with Zaro's idiotic style!
"What do you want to do with the money so urgently?" Barbara asked.
"None of your business. Hurry up and return the money!" Zaro wasn't willing to talk.
"Tell me, and I'll transfer you another million," Barbara said.
"Heh, do you think I'm lacking this bit of money?"
"Five million."
"Planet Wai."
After the call ended, an inscrutable smile flashed across Barbara's face. She tilted her head to look at a mural hanging in the room. It depicted an ancient castle from the Old Era. It was said that this was where her family's ancestors had once lived.
It was said that during the Old Era, Lakalinazhou had been densely covered in countless castles. Those mysterious castles had countless romantic or terrifying stories, but they had all been destroyed during the Period of Destruction.
Every member of the Lakalinazhou family wanted their own castle. Unfortunately, land was limited, and the family's population was increasing. Even if they built a castle, they wouldn't be able to live alone. If they wanted to monopolize a castle, they could only think of other planets.
It hadn't been easy for them to catch up with planet Baiji's development. The abilities of the younger generation were limited, and the land they could obtain was not considered large. Barbara was very dissatisfied.
But now, she had a new place to build a castle.
On the other end, Zaro's agent was still expressionless when he heard Zaro and Barbara finish their call. He only smiled when he saw the payment notification.
After that, Zaro's agent continued to collect the debt, while Zaro contacted Fang Zhao and asked him to reserve a mountain for him. He wanted to claim a large piece of land, but his little treasury was tight. The debt he collected could only buy a mountain to play around with. Before Barbara made a move, he would first pick something he was satisfied with.
Zaro also told Fang Zhao about Barbara's situation.
Fang Zhao sent the mountain Zaro had chosen to Huo Yi. It could be considered a reservation.
Huo Yi was also straightforward. When he heard that Zaro had reserved it, he didn't press for payment and immediately marked it.
"Another mountain has been sold." Huo Yi looked at the 3D holographic map on his desk with satisfaction. He had already marked the places that people had bought and the pending ones. However, this place was too big. Fang Zhao, Woo Tianhao, and Zaro wouldn't be able to take it all.
Just as he was worrying, Huo Yi received a long-distance call request from Lakalinazhou.
— —
After Fang Zhao sent Zaro a message, he received a message from Duan Qianji. Fang Zhao had already left a message for Duan Qianji. After Duan Qianji had seen the risk assessment report compiled by her subordinates, she had decided to accept Fang Zhao's invitation and take down the area surrounded by mountains.
Duan Qianji wanted to imitate the Old Era and shoot large-scale court dramas. This genre had never been shot with a large investment. Most of the dramas were shot by small companies and were full of loopholes. If there was no real scenery, then they would create a real scenery. As long as the footage shot had a strong sense of authenticity and history. After this drama was shot, the buildings would still be there, and they could be used in other historical dramas in the future. In the long run, it wouldn't be a loss.
"When the time comes, I will send people to keep an eye on the project on planet Wai. You can continue your military service in peace," Duan Qianji told Fang Zhao.
After all, it was easy to be targeted during military service. Duan Qianji was also doing this for Fang Zhao's own good.

On Woo Tianhao's side, he was persuading his uncle to come to planet Wai's Bao Mountain.
"Have you seen the video I sent you? Really, although that mountain isn't the tallest, the scenery is especially 'immortal.' It's very suitable for the kind of awesome drama you mentioned, where you step on a flying sword and screw the heavens! "
On the other side, Woo Tianhao's uncle, who owned an entertainment company, was silent for a few seconds. He was probably wondering when he had described it to Woo Tianhao.
"I can build it any way I want?"
"As long as it's a building with a rich historical atmosphere and we agree to develop the film studio complex, then there's no problem. The price is good, and it's first come, first served," Woo Tianhao said.
When Woo Tianhao's uncle was young, he had unintentionally read an archeological book. Ever since then, he had been obsessed with novels from the Old Era and couldn't extricate himself. After starting his own business, he had wanted to shoot an immortal TV series. He didn't want to use all the special effects and hoped to use real scenery. However, many places on Earth's mountain scenery wasn't "immortal" enough, and there were many restrictions on scenic areas. And now, in the video that Woo Tianhao had sent him, there were a few mountains that were in line with the artistic conception of being shrouded in clouds and mist.
"This is undeveloped land, and there aren't many restrictions. Enclose a mountain and build some real scenery. Shooting a few hundred episodes won't be a problem. You can even enjoy yourself. How great is that!" Woo Tianhao continued to recommend.
On the other side of the call, Woo Tianhao's uncle thought about it. This was the advantage of being at the back of the development sequence. There weren't as many restrictions, and the land was cheap. Signing a contract for one or two hundred years and enclosing a satisfactory area, they could build however they wanted. It was indeed refreshing!
