Chapter 502: Adding drama to yourself
"I've already contacted someone, they'll be here in ten minutes at most."
After saying this, Qimanguli continued to mutter.
"Speaking of which, why can't we have as many exotic beast companions as you do? I can only subdue four exotic beast companions now. Although the special space in my mind is still expanding, the speed is too slow."
"I estimate that I will have to wait until my cultivation strength reaches about 20,000 years before I can subdue the fifth alien beast companion."
"Haha, don't worry, take your time. If you train all four beast companions, it will be enough."
After a slight pause, Wang Lang continued speaking.
"My talent is better than yours. From the beginning, I was able to subdue many more exotic beast companions than you. And my cultivation strength is much stronger than yours. That's why I was able to subdue many more exotic beast companions than you."
"I have already used up most of my positions. I estimate that I can only subdue two or three more exotic beast companions at most."
At this time, Wang Lang naturally did not tell the truth.
He didn't care about Qi Manguli, but he didn't want to directly and clearly say that he could subdue exotic beast partners without limit.
Although he and I are having an affair now, and the relationship between the two forces is pretty good, no one can predict what the situation will be like in the future.
So you should say what you should say, and definitely not say what you shouldn’t say.
"Okay, let's get busy. There's still a lot to do next."
As he spoke, Wang Lang directly threw the evolved beast-eared mouse in his hand away.
whoosh...
With a whoosh sound, the big-eared mouse flew over. He lay directly on the ground and used his body to receive the evolved beast-eared mouse that fell to the ground.
Looking at this situation, Wang Lang was speechless.
"Good guy, a typical bootlicker!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Big Ears is just showing his love and care for his wife. How can he be a bootlicker? I think you still need to learn from Big Ears."
As soon as Qimanguli finished speaking, Zhu Xiyue's voice rang out.
"Yes, Big Ears is very good. He dares to love and hate, and he knows how to love his wife. He is much better than those who only know how to act secretly."
"Hahaha, yes, yes. Hey, it seems the people you arranged are here."
As he spoke, Wang Lang cast a spell to subdue the evolved beast-eared mouse that was now lying on the ground.
You absolutely cannot talk any more at this time. It feels like if you continue, something bad will definitely happen.
"People are coming."
"The people I arranged are here too."
As they were talking, Zhu Xiyue and Qi Manguli quickly came over.
An hour and a half later, the work of taming the beasts was completely completed. Wang Lang and Qi Manguli rode on Narcissus together, while Zhu Xiyue rode on the 30,000-year-old Lovebird and flew quickly towards Shanhai Pavilion.
Zhu Xiyue commanded the 30,000-year-old lovebirds to stay close to Narcissus and keep pace with it.
After the flight stabilized, Zhu Xiyue shouted directly at Wang Lang.
"Brother Lang, because of the appearance of the monster just now, we haven't discussed what the tax rate will be in the future. Now we are still a certain distance away from Shanhai Pavilion, why don't we have a chat?"
Zhu Xiyue is very concerned about this issue.
The cultivation resources in the Shanhai Dahuang world, including mineral materials, plant materials, herbal materials, as well as vegetables, fruits, grains and other crops are extremely important.
These things are now all considered strategic resources, and it can be said that these things determine the future of the Ming Empire.
So, naturally, the more you can get, the better.
"Okay, no problem, let's chat."
After a slight pause, Wang Lang spoke.
"You also know that the Great Wilderness of Mountains and Seas is a world that completely belongs to me. The exotic beasts, evolved beasts, cultivation resources, mineral materials, plant materials, herbal materials, and everything else in the Great Wilderness of Mountains and Seas also belong to me."
"In order to enhance the overall strength of the monks of the Ming Empire and better resist the large-scale invasion of magic beasts, I am willing to open up the Shanhai Dahuang world and allow people to enter the Shanhai Dahuang world to adventure, explore, collect and mine various resources and materials."
"I have already made such selfless contributions. You can't let me suffer losses all the time, right? So the tax rate should be slightly higher. I plan to set it at June 4 for the time being."
Hearing this, Zhu Xiyue shouted in surprise.
"June 4th! Brother Lang, isn't this a bit too high?"
After hearing what Zhu Xiyue said, Wang Lang's face looked a little bad.
He was speechless.
The entire world of mountains and seas belongs to me. I allow your people to go in and absorb blood and spiritual energy to improve their cultivation strength, adventure and explore, as well as collect and mine various resources and materials. This is such a great favor.
I just want to collect 40% tax from you, and you are still not happy?
Just when Wang Lang was about to speak, Zhu Xiyue's voice rang out again.
“Brother Lang, should we discuss this again? I know that the Shanhai Dahuang world belongs to you completely, and it is a great favor that you allow people from the Ming Empire to enter.”
"But this 60% tax is really too high. It is extremely dangerous outside the cities in the Shanhai Dahuang world. Everyone who ventures out to explore, collect and mine resources and materials is risking their lives."
"Risking one's life, or even risking one's life, to collect and dig up resources and materials, only to be taxed 60%. I think this is something most people cannot accept."
After hearing this, Wang Lang finally understood.
My goodness, I said to collect 40% tax, but I never said to collect 60% tax.
Are you trying to add drama to yourself?
Since Zhu Xiyue thought that a 60% tax would be collected, it was naturally impossible for Wang Lang to tell her the truth at this time.
After pretending to think for a while, Wang Lang spoke.
"To be honest, this 60% tax may seem high, but it's actually not that high at all. All those who venture out to explore, collect, and mine various resources and materials are doing so at no cost."
"All the raw materials in the Shanhai Dahuang world belong to me. Those people just need to go out and bring back those resources and materials, and they can get 40% of the harvest for free. This kind of business is definitely a sure win."
"You said that it is extremely dangerous outside the cities in the Shanhai Dahuang world. This is indeed true, but high risks are often accompanied by high returns. If you are afraid of danger, then you might as well stay in the Ming Empire. Why bother entering the Shanhai Dahuang world?"
"I admit, Brother Lang, what you said is correct. But 60% tax is still too high."
After a slight pause, Zhu Xiyue continued speaking.
"The higher the tax, the lower the overall benefit. If the benefit is too low, it will definitely greatly dampen people's enthusiasm. If this is the case, then wouldn't most people be unwilling to leave the city to take risks to explore, collect and mine resources and materials?"
"If that's the case, then Brother Lang, your overall gains will definitely not be high."
