Zhang Shi awakened a Heaven-defying Sign-in Syst...

Chapter 168 Enjoying Tranquility

Liu Yu did indeed develop an inhibitor, the main ingredient of which is various spiritual plants. The spiritual energy contained within these plants can effectively suppress fire poison and slowly dissolve toxins, which explains the scene of Liu Yu receiving the goods on the regional channel.

With abundant spiritual energy and the enhancement of various items, almost all the plants around Zhang Shi's villa had reached the standard of spiritual plants. Zhang Shi generously sent someone to procure a large bundle of grass for Liu Yu, and of course, he also earned a considerable amount of gold coins.

Liu Yu: Thank you, Boss Zhang Shi, for saving my life. On behalf of the Light Alliance, I thank you for your kindness. If you ever need anything in the future, please just ask. The Light Alliance will do its best to help you.

Zhang Shi was immune to such polite words and went straight to the point, asking about the things that interested him.

Zhang Shi: Let's skip the formalities. You paid for these plants, so it's a fair trade and no one owes anyone anything. What interests me is which faction you clashed with, who poisoned them, and whether they're dead or not. If they're not, I'll have to be more careful in the future.

Liu Yu: It's Bell's Eagle Regiment. We found Bell's lair, but it was poorly manned, and Bell had just been seriously injured. I seized the opportunity and personally led a hundred elite soldiers to teleport in and storm in, but unfortunately, Bell escaped in the end. That bastard even poisoned all of us with fire before he left. Fortunately, with your help, this threat has been eliminated.

Zhang Shi couldn't help but chuckle. He hadn't expected the world to be so small. They had just blown Bell up, and Liu Yu had wiped out his entire base. It had to be said that Bell was having a run of bad luck, with all sorts of unfortunate things happening to him lately.

Zhang Shi: That's good. The Eagle Regiment has done all sorts of evil deeds, and now they've gotten their comeuppance. You've done justice on behalf of Heaven.

Liu Yu: It's not exactly acting on behalf of Heaven, it's just a conflict of interest. But Zhang Shi, you'd better be careful if you run into Bell in the future. That bastard's fire poison might be airborne. I guess this old sixth brother spreads fire poison before every battle, as a backup plan. I guess everyone who has seen him has been tricked without even realizing it.

Zhang Shi was taken aback. He suddenly remembered that Ge Dalong had been inexplicably poisoned when he first arrived. He had also been invaded by members of the Eagle Gang. Upon seeing this, Zhang Shi felt a tightness in his chest.

After closing the system panel, Zhang Shi quickly called Zhao Feng and the others over and relayed his conversation with Liu Yu. The four people present all changed color.

Zhang Shi had already examined everyone, but perhaps due to limitations in his expertise, he found nothing unusual.

“We have always lived in a place filled with spiritual energy, so the fire poison might just dissipate on its own.”

Seeing that everyone's expressions were somewhat unnatural, Zhao Feng spoke up to comfort them.

"Besides, Lao Ge's symptoms from that poisoning weren't too serious. He just took a nap and recovered. Don't worry too much. He can just eat more vegetables in the future."

Zhang Shi nodded and handed a prescription to Wu Qing.

"This is from Liu Yu. Take a look and see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, prepare a few doses of the medicine just in case."

With the sea station about to open, Zhang Shi didn't want other matters to interfere with his business. He told everyone to take care of their health and then took Zhao Feng to the station to check on the renovation.

At the post station, the soldiers were working with great efficiency. The interior decoration was nearing completion, and some soldiers were moving goods, including food and various furniture, into the post station.

Zhao Feng pointed to one of the large, gilded beds, looking quite pleased with himself.

"I spent a lot of money to get these from the trading market. They will be included as an add-on to the room rate when the store officially opens. If you want to enjoy them, you will have to pay for them."

He then pointed to the support soldiers who were busy in the kitchen.

"See that? The meat those soldiers are processing is all high-quality, and many of it even has special attributes. I plan to lower the price a little below the market price, which will be a way to attract customers."

After this period of honing his skills, Zhao Feng seemed to have finally figured things out and became particularly interested in making money. He had mastered many business techniques on his own, so Zhang Shi felt at ease entrusting the post station to Zhao Feng. This saved Zhang Shi a lot of energy to focus on other things.

"I also plan to make the inn a membership system, offering discounts to members to retain customers through membership cards. However, not all services can be paid for with a membership card. This way, we can make a lot of money in a short period of time, which will make things easier for us. Secondly, it will also increase the frequency of customers coming to the island. Then we can develop some other services around the island that charge separate fees, and we'll make a lot of gold coins."

Zhang Shi was surprised by Zhao Feng's suggestion; he hadn't expected Zhao Feng to think so far ahead. He immediately called Lao Bai to help him make membership cards, while he himself opened the system panel. Wang Wu's side was also very efficient, already carrying the first batch of customers towards the island.

These customers came specifically for the island, so Wang Wu and his group didn't need to plan a route and headed straight for the island, successfully landing there in the evening.

Wang Wu brought his entire team with him on this trip. Besides Cheng Xiaobai and Zhu Dachang, there were three other men and one woman. Zhang Shi recognized the tall, thin man among them; he was Hou Kun, who had been quite active on the regional channel. Zhang Shi's impression of him was that he was particularly argumentative, and he never expected him to end up with Wang Wu and his group.

In addition, Wang Wu brought more than a dozen customers with him. As soon as they landed on the island, they were stunned by the modern port and buildings before them. Their expressions were like those of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, their eyes wide and mouths agape, unable to utter a word.

Zhang Shi appeared in plain clothes this time to welcome the first group of tourists to the island. He then asked Xiao Mei and a few good-looking support soldiers to show them around the inn and promote his own products and membership system.

The survivors who were among the first to land on the island were all wealthy, and coupled with Zhang Shi's skill and reputation, several customers immediately pulled out their wallets to sign up for membership cards. People tend to follow the crowd; seeing a few people take the lead, the rest also pulled out their gold coins, scrambling to sign up for membership cards.

Seeing that he was no longer needed, Zhang Shi led Wang Wu's team to a bar. Mao Tai, ever the astute man, served everyone a beer. Wang Wu and the others, seeing this rare treat, were all thirsty, both eager and reluctant to part with their wallets.

Zhang Shi noticed their predicament and immediately raised his glass.

"To celebrate the successful completion of our first collaboration, everything is on the house today, including drinks and barbecue. Let me toast you all."

Seeing Zhang Shi's magnanimity, Wang Wu and the others quickly stood up, holding their cups.

"Zhang Shi is so generous. I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want."

"I knew it. Working with a big shot means you'll live a life of luxury."

After a beer, Wang Wu's team relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful scenery around them while sipping their drinks.
