Chapter 1771 - 1774: A Happy Day
Qin Hai was preparing to evacuate.
They had perfected this plan countless times, but when it came to actually implementing it, they were still a bit nervous.
The first step was, of course, to transport the spirit stones out.
This didn’t pose much of an issue. Over this period, they had been doing this continuously, even several times a day.
There was no real value in this action because after transporting them out, they had to transport them back the same day, or else the bank would likely collapse the next day.
All the City Guard Army paid no mind, even greeting and asking Wang Lai, who was in charge of transportation, how business was recently.
Transporting out one load after another, and then one load after another of worthless stones being transported back.
The second step was to contact Nanshan City and have them send people to take the spirit stones away.
No problem with that either.
The third step, vacation!
The bank goes on holiday.
Such an idea would be absolutely impossible in the Heavenly Dynasty because there’d always be someone watching you every day.
However, it worked here.
Because the entire concept of banking here was instilled into God Slaying City by Qin Hai and his group, so they dared to try taking regular breaks from the beginning!
When they made such a bold decision initially, not many believed in it, but they started doing it anyway.
So, gradually, even as they expanded more and more, the majority of people accepted it.
Yes, they succeeded.
They successfully got the majority here to get used to the bank closing for a two-day break every five days!
And this break time was when they planned to evacuate!
And now was when Qin Hai’s awakened superpower, or Divine Skills, came into play.
His superpower—the power of replication!
This ability allowed him to swap the appearance of a designated person with another.
So, with every transport of spirit stones, he actually had someone stay outside the city one by one under various pretexts.
And still, the ones going back and forth were all locals who later joined the bank.
So, on the surface, it seemed like all the bank people were still within the city.
But in truth, in the entire God Slaying City, come nightfall, Qin Hai was the only key person from the bank left!
And tonight was the night Qin Hai was going to leave!
Qin Hai sat at the bank’s entrance, gazing at the sky as if nothing had happened.
Passersby on the street would greet him, and he would return their greetings with a smile.
"Taking a break again today, huh?"
"Yes, we have to arrange some time for everyone to cultivate, after all."
"True, true. Cultivation is fundamental! So, Boss Qin, what kind of business are you in to make so much money?"
"Trade secret! Why are you asking about that? As long as everyone makes money, that’s all that matters!"
"Indeed, haha, see you!"
"..."
After dealing with a few people who seemed casually or intentionally came to monitor, Qin Hai still appeared lazy.
Then another Nascent Soul person came to withdraw some spirit stones.
"Boss Qin, I need to withdraw spirit stones urgently!"
"Alright, you know the rules, right Senior?"
"Of course, during breaks, you can only withdraw the principal."
"Good, I’ll get them for you."
Qin Hai nodded and headed to the spirit stone vault.
Moments later, he returned with the spirit stones the Nascent Soul person needed.
"Thank you." The Nascent Soul person smiled and left with the spirit stones.
Qin Hai also smiled and glanced subtly in a certain direction.
This withdrawal was arranged by someone.
Although people here already knew the bank took breaks, there were always cautious people.
So every day off, someone came to test.
Sometimes it was the Nascent Soul stage, sometimes Out-of-Body stage, and even occasionally Divine Separation stage.
But he had figured it out.
Today, those four in the Divine Separation stage had things to do; either in closed-door cultivation or dealing with business out of town.
So only those in the Out-of-Body stage would come to test.
And the person in Out-of-Body stage handling things was a stingy guy, so he never withdrew his stored spirit stones himself.
After all, withdrawing today would mean today’s interest was gone.
So, this person always had a Nascent Soul subordinate do it instead.
Nonetheless, to be cautious, Qin Hai left behind enough spirit stones for the Out-of-Body stage’s principal—thirty thousand spirit stones!
Better safe than sorry!
Finally, the sky gradually darkened.
Qin Hai stretched and returned inside the bank, closing the door.
He knew that there were many eyes watching him at that very moment.
If nothing happened, these people were good friends; if something went wrong, the owners of these eyes would tear him apart.
Thus, having just blocked the view from outside, cold sweat began to flow down his body!
Young Master Bu, you must come!
Otherwise, I’m dead!
He prayed in his heart, but he held little hope!
Honestly, if he were Lu Xiaobu, he would definitely not come.
For such a notorious Golden Core stage person, to risk this dragon lair was utterly insane!
In fact, he contemplated leaving some alternative plans to ensure Lu Xiaobu would really come!
However, after much thought, he gave up!
No, because all he could do now was trust Lu Xiaobu, for once he set up backups, not only would it not keep Lu Xiaobu in line, it might even cause him to give up on him!
After all, in this foreign world, the only one he could trust, and had to trust, was Lu Xiaobu!
Time kept ticking, and Qin Hai waited with bated breath.
...
Meanwhile, deep within the inner city of God Slaying City, the Out-of-Body stage who had dispatched the Nascent Soul scout tonight was listening to his subordinate’s report.
"Senior, everything is normal, no different from usual!"
"Hmm, you may go." The Out-of-Body stage waved a hand.
He was Xu Bang, and today, he was in charge of watching over the Four Seas Bank.
This task was assigned by those big shareholders who had invested. Although the strange theories spoken of that bank were tempting and seemed coherent, they cautiously sent people to monitor.
They hadn’t discovered any issues, but it was just an instinctive caution.
After all, nearly all their assets were in there, it couldn’t hurt to be careful?
Even if Four Seas Bank hadn’t deceived them, they still had to be wary of outsiders eyeing it for a robbery.
So, isn’t it monitoring, and also protecting?
Thinking about how his assets would increase tomorrow was a bit exciting!
Xu Bang shook his head, pushing those thoughts aside, sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes, and immersing himself in cultivation.
Today was another happy day!
