"ah!"

Zhao Li couldn't control his emotions for a moment and was so scared that he screamed out loud. Everyone around him was startled, and Chu Yao was also stunned.

"I...I won't go. Don't choose me, Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang!"

He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, his body shaking constantly.

The other slaves were all surprised. They were jumping up and down to be picked up, so why are you still unwilling to leave?

"Commander Wang, what does this mean?" Chu Yao asked the commander with a serious face.

The "Uncle Wang" that Zhao Li mentioned is the manager of the stone quarry here.

"Oh, Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry." Chief Wang glared at Zhao Li, then pulled Chu Yao aside and whispered:

"This kid's mother is having an affair with a colleague of mine. That colleague recently got a promotion..."

After a few words, Chu Yao already understood what kind of backer Zhao Li had.

"What's your colleague's name?" She just asked casually. Even if she couldn't take Zhao Li away, she had a way to deal with him.

"His surname is Zou, and his name is Zou Chenggong. He used to be in charge of the Xiaoyu City area. Does Mr. Zhou know him?"

Chu Yao's expression suddenly became extremely interesting, and she almost couldn't help but reveal her true feelings.

Isn’t Zou Chenggong the chief of Beishan Mine, Fatty Zou?

Moreover, it seems that Elder Liu Yun of Chongyun Sect was able to escape from his slave status because he followed Fatty Zou.

But as far as she knew, Elder Liu Yun had never been married, so the relationship between her and Zhao Li was very interesting.

"He's an acquaintance, so I won't make it difficult for you." Chu Yao said with a smile, then turned around and patted Zhao Li twice.

"What a pity, you're quite a strong young man. I won't take you with me."

Zhao Li looked at Chu Yao's hands slapping him in horror, and kept reminding himself:

It's okay, everyone has lost their cultivation, he can't do anything, he can't do anything...

His face turned green and his teeth kept chattering. The disciples of Tianyin Sect who were picked away were very happy to see this scene. However, there were one or two who didn't quite understand and felt that it was a pity that they couldn't take Zhao Li away and torture him.

Yao Han observed this "Boss Zhou" calmly, feeling that his underhanded tactics seemed familiar, like he was a certain Supreme Elder he had met before...

"Well, have you almost finished picking?" Chu Yao pretended to casually wander to Yao Han's side, as if talking to herself.

"West District, Fifteen." Yao Han tried his best not to let anyone notice his movements. He leaned sideways, uttered four words, and said no more.

Chu Yao understood instantly.

"Captain Wang, we've finished looking at the East District. Let's go to the West District. I'll pick another twenty people and that'll be enough."

"Oh, that's fine. Please come this way!"

The following process was similar to the previous one. Chu Yao rescued the remaining fifteen disciples of Tianyin Sect from the more than four hundred people in the west district.

She didn't know all of them, so she looked at Yao Han occasionally, and at the latter's signal, she finally took everyone away without leaving anyone behind.

Chu Yao saw the despair in the eyes of some of the slaves who were not selected, but she could do nothing to help.

She is not a saint, it is impossible for her to rescue all the people here, that is unrealistic.

Besides, these people have nothing to do with her, so why should she risk saving them?

Her heart only holds the Tianyin Sect, nothing more.

"Oh, Mr. Zhou, this is a big deal. He has selected 38 people in total!" Chief Wang smiled and rubbed his hands.

"Are we still selling at market price? Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a bigger discount today. As for Zhao Li, I really have no choice but to consider this as an apology!"

Slaves have a market price? Chu Yao was a little stunned by the question, but she concealed it well:

"Well, it's still the market price! See how much it costs."

"Five thousand per person, thirty-eight people makes nineteen hundred thousand. I'll give you a 20% discount, and then round off the rest, so just give me fifteen hundred thousand!"

Tsk, so cheap?

She had thought how much a living person could be sold for, but it turned out to be so worthless in this celestial society.

However, she had no intention of paying for it herself.

"Fifteen thousand, no problem. Okay, let me sign you an IOU first, and then you can go directly to Shanquan Manor in the Tenth Ring Road to ask Ding Nan for it!"

"No problem, no problem." Commander Wang smiled as he watched "Zhou Cheng" in front of him write an IOU for him.

As for asking for the money later, he had no doubt about it. Zhou Cheng's quirk was not to deposit money in the bank. Everyone in the circle knew it, and he had written a lot of IOUs before.

"It's done, take a look."

"No need to look! I, Wang, trust Mr. Zhou's credibility!" Commander Wang said as he put the IOU in his pocket.

There was another round of feigned politeness between the two men, and a group of slaves, led by two big men in black, got on a large truck.

"Mr. Zhou, come back when you have time. Next time, call ahead. We have to have a drink together!"

"Definitely next time!" Chu Yao said goodbye to Commander Wang with a smile, got into the car as he watched her, and drove away with the roar of the engine.

Officer Wang then took the IOU out of his pocket, looked at it over and over again, and the smile on his face became even wider.

For them, selling slaves was a sure-win business, and the Yari Company turned a blind eye to the actions of these lower-level employees.

Yari Corporation is essentially an interstellar colonization company, and the resource that such a company has the most is people.

As the company conquers more planets, the number of captured alien barbarians will only increase, and allocating them as slaves is just one of the ways to deal with them.

Moreover, the entire Lingyuan Star, except for a small part, is the territory of the Yali Company. The buying and selling of slaves is essentially the same; they just continue to work for the company in a different place.
