325: Chapter 325 This is top-notch!

Three Waters stopped fiddling with the copper coin.

He stared at Chen You, a mocking smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"Look down on it? Outlander, if you don't have the money, just say so. I'll help you think of something. If you want to recruit people yourself, that's not impossible either."

Chen You ignored his mockery.

He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers in mid-air.

Clatter!

The crisp sound of metal clashing exploded within the dim hall.

It wasn't one coin, nor was it one bag.

Glittering gold coins poured down, instantly submerging half the counter in front of Chen You.

They overflowed the edge, crashing onto Three Waters' worn-out cloth shoes.

The golden light illuminated the entire dilapidated merchant guild hall as bright as day.

The mockery on Three Waters' face froze.

The copper coin in his hand fell to the floor, rolling into the pile of gold coins and disappearing from sight.

He suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the mountain of gold before him, his breathing becoming rapid.

"These... these..." Three Waters stammered.

"A ten-thousand gold King-tier package sounds impressive, but it's actually quite shabby." Chen You pulled over a worn wooden chair and sat down.

"I want a personalized customization."

"The scene must be grand, the luxury extreme, and it must be a universal celebration. Understand?"

Three Waters swallowed hard.

He quickly hurried out from behind the counter. His previously lazy back instantly straightened, and then he bowed down, squeezing a fawning smile onto his face.

"Understood! Perfectly understood! Boss, just say the word. As long as the money is right, even if you want Cangxing City to fly upside down, the Guild can arrange it for you!"

Chen You leaned back against the chair, his fingers tapping on the armrest.

Since he was going to die, the spectacle had to be worthy of his status.

"First, transportation." Chen You held up one finger. "What kind of giant beast does the King-tier use?"

"To answer the boss, it's the Two-Headed Earth Dragon. When it runs, the earth shakes—it's absolutely stylish!" Three Waters replied hurriedly.

"Too tacky." Chen You shook his head. "Change it. I want a Mythic-tier one. The largest, the most ferocious kind—ideally, the kind that makes people pee themselves at first glance."

Cold sweat began to pour down Three Waters' face.

He pulled out a ragged cloth to wipe his forehead. "Boss, that doesn't comply with the Guild's safety regulations. If the monster goes berserk, the entire caravan will be trampled into meat paste!"

"With your frame, you wouldn't even be able to withstand a single sneeze from that monster!"

Not being able to withstand it was exactly the point!

"I'll pay more," Chen You uttered two words.

"Right away!" Three Waters pulled out a ledger from nowhere and began recording frantically with a quill pen.

"Second, the honor guard." Chen You held up a second finger. "A thousand people is too few. I want ten thousand Heavy Armored Golem Infantry to lead the way. With every step they take, the ground must vibrate in unison."

"In the sky, assign eight hundred Thunder Griffins to circle and escort us. On both sides of the caravan, arrange two thousand dancers from the most beautiful races—not for fighting, just for the aesthetics."

Three Waters' hand trembled, and the quill almost snapped. "Boss, the most beautiful races have their pride..."

"I'll pay more," Chen You said flatly.

"Understood! Even if the Guild has to kidnap them, we'll bring them to you!" Three Waters' eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

"Third, the atmosphere." Chen You stood up and walked to the counter. "Ordinary petals won't do. I want a rain of petals that can increase experience."

"Package the experience points and scatter them into the clouds, so that all the players in Cangxing City can get some."

Three Waters sucked in a breath of cold air.

"And the music." Chen You's tone became serious. "None of those festive trumpets or suonas. I want a grand, tragic, epic symphony with a sense of destiny."

"Ideally, it should make people want to weep upon hearing it, feeling as if a great hero is about to fall."

Three Waters was stunned.

He looked up at Chen You, his face full of confusion. "Boss, establishing trade is a joyous occasion. Making it so... so tragic, isn't that a bit unlucky?"

Chen You looked down at him.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!" Three Waters waved his hands repeatedly.

"Tragic! It must be tragic! There's an ancient enchantress locked in the City Lord's dungeon who specializes in singing Requiems. She's seen off three generations of City Lords."

"I'll bring her out to lead the singing for you!"

Chen You nodded in satisfaction.

This NPC was quite sensible.

"Finally, a server-wide announcement." Chen You finalized the last detail.

"From the moment the caravan sets off, give me a system announcement every ten minutes."

"The name will be... 'The god of wealth arrives'."

Three Waters closed the ledger and quickly flicked the beads on his abacus.

A moment later, Three Waters looked up, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Boss, this 'Universal Celebration: God of Wealth Arrives' personalized custom package will cost a total of... one hundred thousand gold coins."

"Pay half as a deposit, and the Guild will start work immediately. In two hours at most, I guarantee you'll see the most shocking scene in the entire server!"

One hundred thousand gold coins.

Finally, another big expenditure.

"Director Li, you're the one who wanted me to die spectacularly."

Chen You muttered to himself, glancing at his skill cooldowns.

"No rush. Just arrange for the caravan to arrive at Cangxing City in 13 hours."

Without any nonsense, he directly transferred one hundred thousand gold coins to Three Waters.

"No need for a deposit. Full payment."

Seeing the massive sum of one hundred thousand gold suddenly appear on the account, Three Waters fell straight backward.

He grabbed the counter to barely steady himself, the fanaticism in his eyes almost turning into physical flames.

"Boss! You are my, Three Waters', second father! You are the eternal god of Cangxing City!"

Three Waters knelt directly on the ground, performing an extremely exaggerated formal bow.

[Ding! Cangxing City Merchant Guild Manager Three Waters' favorability toward you has increased to "Die-hard Loyalty".]

[Ding! The main quest has been updated.]

[Quest Objective: Welcome the caravan into the city and ensure the restoration of trade in Cangxing City.]

Chen You looked at the system prompt and closed the interface.

"If you mess this up, I'll tear down your merchant guild."

"Rest assured! Even if the sky falls, the caravan will arrive on time!" Three Waters guaranteed, patting his chest.

Chen You turned and walked out of the merchant guild hall.

Outside, the wind and snow were howling at some point.

He looked up at the grey sky.

"What a hearty and satisfying squandering of wealth," Chen You lamented.

As soon as he spoke...

[World Announcement: Player "Chen You" has initiated a Mythic-tier cross-city trade parade!]

[World Announcement: In thirteen hours, the 【god of wealth arrives】 caravan will arrive directly at Cangxing City!]

[World Announcement: This parade is a top-tier custom specification. Massive amounts of Experience Spirit Rain will drop along the way. Don't miss this opportunity!]

The three announcements played in a loop exactly three times.

"Holy crap! Is God You starting trouble again?"

"Mythic-tier trade? Top-tier custom specification? How much money must that cost?!"

"Go to Cangxing City! It's free experience!"

"Let's go, let's go! There won't be any spots left if we're late!"

...

In the Titan God Clan's guild territory, Salos suddenly stood up, his massive body knocking over the stone table in front of him.

He stared fixedly at the announcement on the light screen, a glint flashing in his eyes.

"Brother Chen... what kind of play is he putting on this time?!"

The vice-chairman stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Chairman, this is an opportunity..."

Salos raised his hand, interrupting the vice-chairman.

"Contact Arrow of the Moon and Oro." Salos clenched his fist. "Ask them if they're interested in going to 'get rained on' together."
