On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the snow was particularly heavy.

On the sixteenth floor of the Peace Building, in the conference hall, Lu Dongjun and Chu Er finalized the Paramount deal.

Eight hundred thousand oceans were transferred from the Lu family to Chu Er by Paramount.

The Paramount's land deeds, house deeds and various business deeds were all transferred to Chu Er. The notary issued the document and reporters arrived to report on it.

Chu Er spent all his savings, eight hundred thousand dollars.

Except for the house where she lived, all the outer houses and land were sold out.

Except for the business she was running, she still kept it, but she took back all the shares she had invested in other people's businesses.

She still owed more than 200,000 oceans in foreign debt, and finally bought the Paramount.

Is there no one in the Chu family who cares about her after all this trouble?

No one really cares.

Chu Er's identity is very different from that of other rich ladies.

Five years ago, when the Chu family joined hands with the Lu family to open up new land, the head of the Chu family, Chu Er's father, was seriously injured and died. The Chu family is currently jointly managed by her eldest brother and two aunts.

After Chu Er got a portion of the property, he managed his own business independently. Over the past five years, she has paid a certain amount of bonus to the Chu family every year. As for how Chu Er runs his business specifically, no one else is allowed to interfere.

Chu Er was very excited to get the Paramount, and he was still walking up and down the Paramount until late at night.

In fact, the Paramount is neither tall nor too big, with only three floors in total, but it is the signature of Green Water City, a more dazzling sign than the Peace Building.

People in Green Water City may not envy the suits and ties in the Peace Building, but they will definitely yearn for the bright lights and feasting in the Paramount.

The first floor is the restaurant, with a banquet hall that seats six and more than a hundred private rooms of various sizes.

The second floor is the dance hall, which is the essence of the Paramount. There is a large dance floor, five rotundas, and sixteen rooms for famous actors.

Needless to say, there is a large dance floor with band accompaniment and singing by singing queens, with jazz being the main music. Elegant classical music and popular modern music are also very common. The large dance floor of the Paramount can accommodate thousands of people, and the singing queen of each year is selected from the Paramount.

The rotunda is smaller than the big dance floor. Each rotunda can accommodate about a hundred people and is suitable for gatherings, which are often called parties in other states.

The rooms for famous actors are special. Each room can accommodate more than a dozen people. The famous actors will sing alone for the distinguished guests in the room.

Imagine what it feels like to have a popular singer singing for one person alone in a box.

If things go well, maybe I can offer something else.

The famous singer's room is exclusive to the singing queen. The singing queen Xia Yijun's room is called Yijunzhai. As long as Xia Yijun is still under Paramount, the name of this room will not be changed.

If Xia Yijun was fired by Paramount, or if she changed jobs, this wing would be taken over by someone else.

Of course, not every singing queen can occupy a room in the Paramount. There are singing queens every year, but there is only one in the Paramount.

The singing queen Jiang Mengting at that time had her own exclusive room in Paramount, called Mengtingju. Later, Chu Er paid a high price and poached her away from Paramount.

Later, no one knew what means Ma Wu used, but he managed to poach Jiang Mengting away from Chu Er.

None of this matters now.

Now the entire Paramount belongs to Chu Er!

Chu Er went up to the third floor of the Paramount. There were seventy-six suites on the third floor. She opened the one with the best view and looked at the endless stream of pedestrians and vehicles on the street.

For a while, Chu Er had an illusion that the entire Green Water City belonged to her.

For now, the most dazzling signboard of Green Water City does belong to her.

Yang Yanzheng said, "Miss, why don't we open the store today?"

Because Lu Dongjun was involved in a series of scandals, Paramount has been closed for several days.

As soon as the report came out in today's newspaper, many people have already asked about ordering meals and booking rooms.

Paramount has never lacked business.

But Chu Er didn't want to open the store today.

"We can't be impatient. We need to have a good momentum for the opening. Let's pick a good day and hold a concert. We will send invitations to all the big families and invite all the important people to come!"

Yang Yanzheng frowned and dared not speak.

Chu Er has spent all his family fortune and now he wants to hold a singing party.

The important thing is to open the business quickly and recoup the investment. Can’t the singing party wait until after the New Year?

The lady had given the order, so Yang Yanzheng had no choice but to go and take care of it. Before he even left the house, he heard Chu Er specifically instruct him, "Send a letter to Ma Wu, and ask him to come. I'll see if he's itching to come.

I will discuss the price with him later. If he can make Paramount more presentable, I am willing to return Xiaoyaowu to him!"

…

Ma Wu was reading a newspaper in Lan Yang Village. When he saw Chu Er bought the Paramount, the newspaper almost fell to the ground.

not good!

This crazy woman really stirred up a hornet's nest. Chu Er had been struggling in the business world for so many years, how could he make such a mistake?

She wanted the Paramount so badly.

In fact, Ma Wu could also understand it. If he were in Chu Er's position, he might also do everything he could to take over Paramount. The temptation of Paramount to a businessman was simply too great.

Ma Wu was trying to figure out how things would turn out next, and he soon saw an item on page 4.

The love and hatred between a down-and-out young man and a love-struck young lady.

Ma Wu hadn't noticed this before, but he noticed it today.

The position of this article has changed. This is not a short story. It has been serialized for several issues. It is usually not in a prominent position, but today it occupies the headline of page 4.

The location alone is not enough to attract Ma Wu's attention. The key is that Lan Yang Village is mentioned in this film.

Ma Wu read the content. Although the names of Ma Wu and Chu Er were not mentioned in it, it was the story of two people.

He flipped through old newspapers and found that as the number of Chu Er news increased, the status of this article also soared.

Today, the news of Chu Er's acquisition of Paramount occupied the front page headlines, and this one also rose to the supplement headlines.

Ma Wu must face a reality. In the eyes of outsiders, his relationship with Chu Er is no longer that simple.

Chu Er has stirred up a hornet's nest. Will it affect him?

Sure enough, the disaster struck.

In the evening, Ma Wu asked someone to buy him an evening paper and was shocked to see a piece of news on the second page: Ma Junyang might come out of retirement and take up the Paramount banner for the Chu family.

Who the hell made up this rumor?

Who said I want to take up the Chu family's banner?

My last name is not Chu, so why should I be given the banner? What if I marry into her family?

Ma Wu had a premonition that the hornets were coming.

No, I have to find a place to hide first. The major families may take action against Ma Wu at any time.

Although Zuo Wugang was hired, a sixth-level martial artist might not be that safe. Ma Wu was wondering where to hide, but he saw Li Banfeng, wearing a suit, a top hat, holding a feather duster in his hand, and pushing open the door.

He wiped the snow off his body with a feather duster, sat by the fireplace and warmed himself for a while.

Ma Wu said with surprise: "Brother Li, you are finally back!"

Li Banfeng walked for a full eighteen days, three days on the way there and half a month on the way back.

There is only one reason why it took him so long to come back: he had to take a Jinyuan Pill every day.

Li Banfeng ate fifteen pills in total along the way, which earned him four years, one month and six days of cultivation. Adding the time he had saved before, he now has a total of sixteen years, eight months and seventeen days of cultivation, getting closer and closer to the third level.

The third level requires twenty years of cultivation. Even if Li Banfeng started at the age of ten and practiced step by step, he would reach the age of thirty at least.

Now that he is in his early twenties, the third level of travel cultivation is within his reach, and the third level of home cultivation is already in his grasp. If others knew about this, they would bow down in worship. If others knew about this... I guess Li Banfeng wouldn't live long.

This also gave Li Banfeng an idea. He wanted to open up a new piece of land and avoid other people's sight as much as possible.

The new place is very suitable for cultivation. When you have nothing to do, you can catch some wandering ghosts to bring food to your wife, and then go find some rare birds and animals to make pills for Honglian. You can earn a lot of time while traveling in a dangerous place, and it won’t delay the intake of pills. Isn’t such a life perfect?

In addition to practicing, he also wanted to build a shelter in the new land. In case of an unmanageable situation, staying in the new land would be a way out.

Li Banfeng had already made the plan on the way, but he lacked experience in land reclamation, so he had to discuss this matter with Ma Wu.

Ma Wu was opposed at first.

The education he received since childhood made him have a deep prejudice against Xindi. In Ma Wu's view, Xindi is dangerous and should not be easily set foot in.

But after a few seconds of thinking, Ma Wu suddenly came to his senses.

Aren’t you planning to go out and seek refuge?

Isn’t Sun Hung Kai Properties one of the best choices?

It was indeed risky to open up new land in the past, but the situation is different now. They have Zuo Wugang in their hands!

Ma Wu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll go call the big boss, and bring Zhen Jincheng and Cao Zhida with us. It's just right for us to form a team and go open up the wasteland!"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Zuo Wugang can't go. If he leaves, there will be no one to guard Lanyang Village. I'm afraid someone will come to cause trouble."

Zuo Wugang refused to go, and Ma Wu felt a little scared again: "It's not reliable to rely on Zhen Jincheng and Cao Zhida to open up the wasteland."

Li Banfeng shook his head slightly and said, "According to my idea, I won't even take them two with me."

"They won't take any?" Ma Wu was shocked. "Brother Li, do you mean that we are the only ones left to open up the wasteland?"

Huan repaired the first floor and Lu repaired the second floor. Ma Wu felt that it was too risky for the two of them to open up the wasteland alone.

Li Banfeng said: "My idea is, you tell me the process of land reclamation, and I will do it myself, and you don't even have to go."

"That won't work! Some things can't be explained. I have to do it myself." Ma Wu wants to seek refuge in Xindi, so he must follow him.

"If you follow me, what about your cultivation?" Li Banfeng is a traveling cultivator, and walking is considered cultivation. Ma Wu is a joyful cultivator, so he definitely cannot bring a girl with him on this trip.

Ma Wu thought for a moment and said, "Let's use the pills to hold on. The Jin Yuan Pill I took before saved me a hundred days of time. It will take at most a month to open up the wasteland. Just treat it as recuperation. I can handle it."

Li Banfeng agreed: "Okay, let's go together. Let's talk about the rules of land reclamation first. Do we need to prepare offerings first?"

Ma Wu nodded and said, "Offerings are easy. As long as there is wine and food, it will be fine. The richer the wine and food, the faster the local gods in the wasteland will respond."

Li Banfeng thought this was an easy task: "Then let Xiao Chuanzi prepare it and bring along all the best food and drinks we can get."

"Brother Li, you have to do it within your ability."

"A little food and drink, what's the point of doing it according to one's means? What if we can't afford it?"

"I can afford to give them food and drink, but I'm afraid I can't handle it. In the wasteland, there is usually only one local god within a hundred miles.

If this local god accepts our offerings, he will reward us with a plot of land. The more offerings we make, the bigger the plot of land will be.”

Li Banfeng nodded happily and said, "Bigger is better. The bigger the better!"

Ma Wu shook his head: "It's better to be bigger, but we have to accept it. The local god didn't give us the land for free. We have to pass the test.

We sprinkled blood on the land and made a contract, which will take effect in one day.

When the pioneers enter the land, the local gods gather the surrounding alien species to besiege the pioneers. The pioneers must hold on for three days and not go beyond the boundary. Then the land will be theirs. This is called a test in the industry jargon. "

Li Banfeng understood this rule. The old gatekeeper of Yujiazhai said that the pioneer and the owner of the new land did not have to be the same group of people. The owner of the new land would first shed blood to seal the contract, and the pioneer would enter the new land the next day.

Ma Wu went on to say, "Plots of land are generally divided into four categories. The smallest category is one mile in radius. The local gods will summon ordinary people to test them. Under normal circumstances, three or five times is considered successful. Some lucky ones may only come once, while some unlucky ones may come more than ten times.

This kind of wasteland can be opened up by finding five or six first-level cultivators. If you really can't find any cultivators, you can find dozens of strong men, and there is hope, but too many people will cause other troubles. We will talk about it on the way."

Li Banfeng thought about Yu Nan’s Yujiazhai in the new place. It looked like it was less than a mile in radius. It was probably that some places had not been fully developed yet. It should be this kind of smallest wasteland.

Ma Wu continued, "The second type of wasteland is three miles in radius. This type of wasteland is very difficult to conquer. The local gods will summon more than a dozen species of monsters every day to take turns attacking the wasteland explorer.

If you want to open up a three-mile radius of land, you have to ask professionals like Daboyens to come and open up the land. Daboyens charges a high price and usually only provides guidance. He rarely does it himself, and he may not be able to open up the land.

The larger plots are five miles in radius. For such plots of land, at least one eighth-level cultivator must be in charge to hope for development. The people sent by the local gods are all ruthless, and it is not uncommon for Mrs. Moth to be so.

The largest one is ten miles in radius. I don't understand this. It is said that the Lu family once teamed up with the Chu family to open up a ten-mile wasteland, but it failed. The head of the Chu family died that way.

Brother Li, with our current strength, it is already a blessing to be able to open up a piece of wasteland with a radius of one mile, so the offerings must be chosen moderately.

If we prepare too many offerings, the local gods will be happy and give us a ten-mile plot of land, and our efforts to open up new land will be doomed to fail. "

"If you fail, you fail. Just try again." Li Banfeng is very open-minded.

Ma Wu shook his head and said, "We can't do this again. If we fail in the land reclamation, we will be looked down upon by the local gods. Within a hundred miles, we two can no longer go to open up wasteland. We can't be the owner, nor can we be the pioneer."

ps: What should I do if I encounter Mrs. Moth while exploring new land?
