Chapter 324 The Great Cunning~
“…He really is a shrewd businessman!” Xiao Nan, who was walking over, couldn’t help but complain when she heard these words. Ye Cang nodded in agreement. No problem!
Li Muyang's eyes widened: "What shrewd businessman! This is called business acumen! How can doing business be called shrewd business? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Are you the boss and I'm the boss? Do you still want your salary this month?"
The two women glared indignantly, but ultimately didn't argue. They had no choice; they still needed to be paid by the other party.
After leaving the ninja world, they didn't know what other jobs they could do to earn a living and support their families.
Li Muyang pursed his lips and didn't try to argue anymore... Ugh! What's there to explain! It's unnecessary! These two silly girls don't know anything about business or making money. If he hadn't taken them in out of kindness, they would have been sold off and would still be counting the money for them. They seem shrewd and capable, but in reality, they're a complete mess.
I've asked myself if I've been completely honest. If I really wanted to abandon all principles and make money, even the most cunning and treacherous methods wouldn't have worked! At least I haven't engaged in any online or telecommunications fraud! Nor have I set up any shady factories that forced a bunch of reanimated ninjas to work for me day and night for free!
Even the White Zetsu who tightens screws in factories everywhere these days! They get paid!
To be honest, Li Muyang himself didn't know what these White Zetsu wanted by asking for wages. They didn't seem to need to eat, did they? They could exist simply by absorbing chakra and natural energy, and they could even go for long periods without absorbing anything!
After all, Princess Kaguya created them with the intention of creating humanoid weapons.
So what do the White Zetsu need wages for?
...You can't possibly spend money on in-game purchases just to buy bubble tea, can you?
So, these days, it's really rare to find an entrepreneur with such a conscience! If it weren't for promoting the rapid development of technology in the ninja world, he wouldn't even want to do this business! It's just a pity that these two silly girls completely misunderstand my good intentions! Tch!
With a long sigh, Li Muyang looked at Nagato and Black Zetsu who had walked in and said earnestly, "I'll leave the company to the four of you to keep an eye on it for me. Losing some money is fine, just don't let it go to waste!"
Nagato's lips twitched: "I've managed a village and an organization before, after all. Do you think you can have any confidence in me? What do you mean by 'just don't ruin it'?"
Konan and Yekura nodded in agreement.
Li Muyang said expressionlessly, "I'm sorry, but what I'm saying is mainly for Hei Jue's ears."
The implication is that I never expected the three of you to manage the company properly! Just don't make things worse!
Nagato, Konan, and Yekura: ...
Black Zetsu rolled her eyes and didn't reply. She, the number one mastermind in the ninja world, was now going to go into business!
If it weren't for the existence of the Spirit Realm, which involves the crucial matter of Kaguya's recovery and even mastery of more chakra, Black Zetsu would never have agreed to help manage this company!
However, Black Zetsu strongly agreed with Li Muyang's decision not to rely on Nagato and the other two, saying that Li Muyang had good judgment!
Just look at the Akatsuki organization from before, and you'll understand. In the beginning, they were just a group of idealists from the Land of Rain, completely detached from real life! Nobody cared about them at all.
The Akatsuki organization began its rapid development after Obito Uchiha joined. However, it was clearly not Obito who drove the Akatsuki's growth. Therefore, it is obvious that the person who truly propelled the Akatsuki to its full potential was Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu is the true head of the Akatsuki! She plans and manages all aspects of the organization's work!
Even Kakuzu is just a money manager!
Not to mention that spendthrift woman, Xiao Nan, secretly used the organization's money to hoard 600 billion explosive tags!
Kakuzu, upon learning of this, nearly choked on his own breath! He was practically ready to fight Konan to the death! My money! This is all the money I painstakingly saved for the organization! And you just turned it into worthless paper?!
It's not exactly waste paper... Well, with the war over, the value of explosive tags has plummeted! Their only value might be used to set off fireworks.
Watching this thing explode, Kakuzu felt his five hearts sink! This is truly burning through money!
Fortunately, Minato Namikaze got Kakuzu away and promised to hand over Konoha's public funds to him. Otherwise, Kakuzu would have really fought Konan to the death!
"Leave the company's affairs to Black Zetsu for planning. This old fox is better at using her brain. You bunch of simpletons are no match for her. Just be good henchmen! Don't let Yahiko fail to be resurrected in the end and then blame Black Zetsu." Li Muyang said "ruthlessly" with his arms crossed.
Nagato and Konan also deflated at the mention of Yahiko. The main reason they worked for Li Muyang forever was that Li had promised to revive Yahiko.
Although Nagato could also revive using the Rinnegan, it was almost a life-for-life exchange. He might revive Yahiko, only for Yahiko to revive him in return. That's not how the Rinnegan works!
Fortunately, the Spirit Realm can revive people, giving Nagato and Konan a new goal. However, given the current pace of Spirit Realm development, reviving a single person is far too slow! At present, it's impossible to revive someone in less than a year or two, and that's only if it's an organized effort! And it would require sacrificing everything!
Therefore, I wanted to use the "back door".
Li Muyang was also helpless. What could he do? He was a very kind person. So he agreed to go through this "back door" on the condition that the two of them obediently come and work for him!
As for Ye Cang, she hasn't even paid off her own debts yet.
Although she was forced to take on the debt voluntarily.
Entrusted with this important task by Li Muyang, Black Zetsu took it quite seriously. Even if not for her, he had to do it for Kaguya! For Li Muyang, the existence of the Spirit Realm was far more valuable than chakra to him; it was originally created for experiments.
Therefore, apart from the chakra used to maintain the Spirit World, the rest of the collected chakra was given to Minato Namikaze and Kaguya.
Princess Kaguya's hopes to return to her peak, or even go further, are basically pinned on the Spirit Realm, and Black Zetsu naturally can't afford to be indifferent! A devoted son... oh, now it should be a devoted daughter! Her love for her mother is truly genuine!
"Oh! I almost forgot, Nagato, come here." Li Muyang said to Nagato, who was bowing his head and remaining silent.
Although puzzled by Li Muyang's intentions, Nagato obediently came forward. Li Muyang then reached out and covered Nagato's eyes, and both of them closed their eyes.
A moment later, Li Muyang opened his eyes, released his grip, and turned back to sit in the boss's chair, drinking tea.
Nagato opened his eyes, blinked, and was surprised to find that he could put away his Rinnegan, and felt much more relaxed.
"I've helped you adapt to the Rinnegan... well, it's improved your compatibility with the Rinnegan. Now you won't feel any disharmony anymore, and there won't be any extra consumption. You're just like a normal ninja with the Rinnegan bloodline," Li Muyang explained leisurely.
"However, you still need to be careful. After all, the Rinnegan is a special and independent existence. If it is destroyed or stolen, you will not be able to use the Rinnegan's abilities. Even if I can give you another Rinnegan, it will not be the same as this one."
Nagato nodded, inwardly marveling at Li Muyang's extraordinary abilities! Transferring bloodlines was something he could do with a wave of his hand!
Black Zetsu secretly marveled, never expecting that Li Muyang could directly create the Rinnegan! Then the Tenseigan, Byakugan, and Sharingan would be a piece of cake, as long as Li Muyang wanted! He could bestow these special eyes upon anyone!
Okay, they've already created worlds! Even if it's just a dream world!
After making their final arrangements, the four left, some going to work, others busy with their jobs.
Especially for Nagato, although Li Muyang opened a "back door", he still needs to work hard to develop the Spirit Platform Realm. It's just that he was given a resurrection quota at a low discount, not that he didn't need to use his exchange resources in the Spirit Platform Realm!
As for Xiao Nan, of course she went to work! She also had to work as a network administrator and manager at another newly opened internet cafe! She also needed to take the opportunity to collect resources on the computer.
Yekura was similar, but she lived more for the sake of living and had no other goals, just getting by day by day.
Black Zetsu has been relatively free lately and hasn't made any major moves, but she still needs to study the subsequent developments.
After seeing the four off, Li Muyang thought for a moment, took out a Bodhi seed, and casually tossed it away, and an avatar appeared.
"I'll leave this place to you."
Li Muyang, now in disguise, nodded and then disappeared into the ley lines of the ninja world to secretly observe the development of the ninja world and the Ten-Tails.
Oh, and the Spirit Platform Realm too.
Develop good habits and always have a backup plan!
After arranging his work, Li Muyang said goodbye to his friends in the ninja world and returned to Blue Star.
This trip was quite fruitful. Although our hard skills didn't improve much, some of our previous ideas were confirmed, and we experienced a groundbreaking event. How could we not consider it a great success?
It's a pity it was just a dream. I wonder when he will be able to truly create the world!
As soon as Li Muyang returned to Blue Star, he found a lot of messages on his phone, all from Professor Himeko and Akemi Miyano. However, they didn't seem to be important; they were just some business notifications.
For important matters, they would naturally contact each other directly through the jade disc.
Just as I was about to see what was going on, my dad made a video call.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Muyang asked, somewhat surprised.
Li Yunfei replied with a smile, "It's nothing. Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong? Can't I just miss you?"
Li Muyang rolled his eyes. "With our father-son relationship, we're as close as brothers! Don't we know each other well?"
"Alright, enough with the formalities." Li Yunfei realized his words were a bit insincere, so he chuckled awkwardly and cut to the chase: "You must have just gotten back, right? Do you know what's been a hot topic here in China lately?"
Li Muyang, who was scrolling through messages, raised an eyebrow, picked up his phone, and asked, "Is this... what you're talking about?"
The promotional news is everywhere! All the hype has been stolen. Poor Uncle Wang, his new album is ranked second again.
It's really not easy for this kind of popularity to rank second! No wonder they're from the Wang family! (Manual sarcasm)
