Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Nanshan City.

At the back of the City Lord Mansion.

This place used to be similar to ancient harems, where the City Lord’s women, family members, and apprentices lived. But now the City Lord is almost nominal, what need is there for a harem?

So, Lu Xiaobu used this place to accommodate people brought from the Blood Continent. Without his permission, no one is allowed in!

And ever since the original Good Egg Gang renamed to the Advisory Group and basically stayed out all night, only the Bad Egg Gang consisting of scumbags remained here.

A group naturally formed with leaders and followers; the scumbags among scumbags are obviously Qin Hai and Liu Bo.

One of them engages in pyramid schemes and the other runs a cult, both are experts in their field, the kind that enrages heaven and earth.

Though both are about brainwashing, they are ultimately different.

Hence, small clashes often arise between them.

...

Qin Hai had just finished brainwashing his subordinates and was now sitting there, lost in thought.

He didn’t brainwash his subordinates on purpose, but simply because he had nothing better to do!

There are no other recreational activities here, and even if there were, the Demon King wouldn’t let them use it, so he can only amuse himself by brainwashing his subordinates!

However, Liu Bo’s methods seem interesting, worth trying.

Even though what they are doing is shady business, there is a science to it.

He employs people’s greed and the desire to gain without work, using essentially wicked thoughts.

But Liu Bo’s method is different; his is religious, so no matter what is inside, the surface must always be wrapped in kindness, thus blending good and evil.

Hence, through cross-referencing, they both learn some things.

Don’t think their clashes are real; it’s nonsense; con-artists know this well.

They are both con-artists, and even big ones, with minds as clear as a mirror.

Why fight life and death? What’s the point?

Frankly, they are just being penned by the Demon King, who can kill them at will.

So, fighting life and death over this insignificant place would be foolish.

Thus, they often meet privately for some exchanges.

Not only exchanging brainwashing insights but also speculating the Demon King’s intention.

As said earlier, con-artists are the most clear-headed.

They both know their nature, foul from head to toe.

Even if told they would be killed tomorrow to set an example, it’s no surprise.

But since the Demon King brought them here, he must have tasks for them.

Heard the Good Egg Gang now formed an Advisory Group and is implementing various policies every day.

What about their Bad Egg Gang?

Obviously, the Good Egg Gang does good deeds, so the Bad Egg Gang must be doing harm and mischief.

Hence, they’ve realized that they should cultivate well, not only in cultivation techniques but also improve their misdeed capabilities to live well.

Sure enough, the Demon King came today.

Honestly, even though Qin Hai privately discusses the Demon King and occasionally curses him, upon truly facing the Demon King, he couldn’t help shivering and then bowed his head.

...

Lu Xiaobu shook his head looking at the group trembling on the ground: "Alright, where did such a bad habit come from?"

Upon hearing his words, Qin Hai and Liu Bo rose shakily.

"One of you is the big head of a pyramid scheme, the other the Sect Hierarch of a Divine Sect. Quite extraordinary figures," Lu Xiaobu said with a chuckle.

"No, no, Lord Xiaobu, please don’t say that!" Qin Hai showed a helpless smile.

"Enough, do you know why I brought you here?" Lu Xiaobu waved his hand.

"Uh..." Qin Hai hesitated, though having guessed some, fearing trouble if guessed wrong.

"Speak up, it’s fine." Lu Xiaobu gestured with his hand.

"Then I’ll speak boldly!" Qin Hai gritted his teeth: "We are scoundrels, bad eggs. Lord Xiaobu specifically brought us here obviously not to make us mend our ways. Since it’s not to mend our ways, it must be to let our scoundrel methods live up!"

After speaking, Qin Hai cautiously glanced at Lu Xiaobu.

Everyone wants to save face; he didn’t know whether stating that Lu Xiaobu brought them to do harm would anger him.

Though not explicitly said, the implied meaning was clear.

"Hahaha!" Lu Xiaobu laughed: "Yes, indeed, smart man! Right, brought you here for harm!"

Upon hearing Lu Xiaobu openly say what they dared not, Qin Hai and Liu Bo exchanged a glance, somewhat relaxed.

"So, Lord Xiaobu means... is it time?" Liu Bo asked after a thought.

As he spoke, a hint of brilliance flickered in his eyes.

They were already bored here, even brainwashing practice on just a few subordinates was irksome.

"Indeed, the time has come!" Lu Xiaobu narrowed his eyes: "Here are the current circumstances, have a look."

Saying so, he pulled out a pile of documents and threw them to the two.

It contained the situation on Gourd Island, the Cultivation World’s view of the Demon Realm inhabitants, the common people’s living conditions, recent events, etc.

The two read with growing shock.

Though they came to the Cultivation World, they were almost immediately confined here, and now upon contact with so much reality, they were further astonished.

Turns out Lord Xiaobu indeed was a demon, able to stake claim in this land where gestures could shake mountains and split seas!

And the people here fear them from the Heavenly Dynasty, even calling them Demon Realm people?

They had even worried before whether the Cultivation World could invade, using this fear by Liu Bo’s sect as bait for fools, yet not the Cultivation World invading, but they did!

After reading, they finally understood, Qin Hai spoke again: "Lord Xiaobu, is it for us to unleash our skills here?"

"How about it? Can you do it?" Lu Xiaobu laughed.

Doing many good deeds doesn’t make one a hero, but doing a lot of misdeeds and still surviving definitely makes one a hero.

People like them lack neither brains nor ruthlessness; after all, fools are long gone!

Thus, upon hearing, they understood.

So, they clenched their teeth: "At Lord Xiaobu’s behest!"

What else can they do? Can’t defeat him!

"Good! Very good!" Lu Xiaobu laughed.

At this moment, he seemed to foresee the near future on Gourd Island!

Three-way dominance? Ha!
