Feeling pleased by the compliments, Su Qing's gaze softened: "Not bad!"
He was praising Alan and a few others; for a group of students to achieve this level of success in the face of a formidable territory was quite remarkable.
None of them felt proud. There was nothing to be proud of. If it weren't for the principal's contingency plan that led to the head steward's defection and the final decisive cannon shot, they would probably all have fallen into the hands of that lord.
So Su Qing simply praised it, then reached out and scooped up the golden whip from the pit, playing with it in her hand.
As expected, the skill tree in the system was lit up again.
The power of slave owners!
This is the name of the whip, which is quite fitting, as it can inflict fear and the effects can be stacked.
[Active Skill: The True Face of a Capitalist]
? ? ?
Su Qing's previously interested expression suddenly froze, and several big question marks appeared above her head. Why did this skill seem somewhat out of place with the skills she had unlocked before?
The 100,000 wealth points were directly consumed. At present, this number does not affect his combat power, but it still makes him feel a pain as if a thousand arrows are piercing his heart.
Is it easy to work hard to earn money and develop your territory?
The system is so greedy; it always tries to get me to spend money so extravagantly.
You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household. Every gold coin and every bit of wealth he has is hard-earned money.
Even without using her skills, Su Qing nowadays has the face of a capitalist.
Cursing inwardly, Su Qing suppressed the pain and felt the effects of the skill.
When the skill is activated, it triggers a group taunt effect, and inflicts the following statuses: Absolute Calm, Ruthless, Greedy, and Bone-Draining. It also applies an aura of rage and insanity to the enemy.
Seeing this, Su Qing understood that this was a support skill, but he felt that the effect of activating the skill might not be particularly wonderful.
Want to give it a try?
Every time she unlocks a new skill, it's a unique experience, and Su Qing always wants to try it out first.
After glancing at the people nearby, Su Qing activated her skill.
The next moment, Su Qing's entire demeanor changed, and the light flashing in his dark golden dragon eyes turned the color of money.
In a state of absolute rationality, one's mind is sharp.
In a state of complete apathy, Su Qing looked at everyone as if they were gold coins, large or small.
His greed and ruthless exploitation had put him in a bad mood. These guys had been spacing out for more than three minutes, which was a waste of money, time, and life.
Don't you know these things are precious?
If he made them do manual labor during this time, he could earn at least three silver coins. By rounding up, these guys actually owed him tens of thousands of gold coins.
Good heavens, if you calculate the interest on such a huge debt, these guys would have to work for themselves for ten thousand years...
Su Qing disliked them, and their gazes towards Su Qing suddenly turned unpleasant as well.
The distance between dragons and humans seems to have suddenly widened, like the class gap between those crushed under the chariot of capitalism and the real capitalists.
With his skill gone, Su Qing pondered what had just happened and why he felt like he had inexplicably lost tens of thousands of gold coins.
Those people also came to their senses and realized that their thoughts just now were somewhat ridiculous.
The only difference between them and the principal is their status; how could a class difference possibly exist between them?
Maybe I'm overthinking it!
This was a thought that suddenly popped into almost everyone's mind.
Su Qing composed himself. He remembered these guys; they seemed to have said they would work for him for free for ten thousand years, right?
He couldn't help but tear up. They were all such good kids!
After being moved, Su Qing immediately urged them to set off. Their next target was a group of bandits, who weren't very strong and could be easily dealt with.
Su Qing stayed behind to handle some matters in the Dark Territory.
As Old Sam's caravan traveled through the northwestern countries, Su Qing had already begun preparing his contingency plans to dominate the northwest.
Many undercover agents were planted, including not only in the four major duchies, but also in some territories and mountainous areas outside the countries, where Su Qing arranged for people to monitor and infiltrate.
There were also two brothers in the Dark Territory, one fat and one thin, both around twenty years old, with honest-looking faces.
They were respectively infiltrating the lord's and the chief steward's inner circle. They weren't close confidants, and it would take them a short time to infiltrate to that level, but they were in positions where they could find out some confidential information.
All of this was arranged by Old Sam. It must be admitted that although this old butler couldn't fight, he was very good at getting things done.
After Su Qing considered things to be on track with the caravan, he decided to send the old man to take charge of the intelligence agency.
It was a waste of his talents to follow his half-brother back then.
The two men, along with the old steward, arranged for the transportation of valuables from the Dark Territory.
Without that lord in charge, once the news spreads, the neighboring countries will definitely not give up this piece of the pie.
However, the dragon's reach is limited, and unless they send troops to defeat these countries, it doesn't align with Su Qing's low-key development strategy for the time being.
Therefore, it is best to move all these valuables and people, including every single brick and tile.
Only an empty shell remains?
No, they weren't even given fertilizer. Those things could be taken back to fertilize the fields, and there wasn't much cost in terms of transportation. However, the workload was relatively large.
Fortunately, the head steward had some trusted men, and Su Qing also notified the Dragon Territory to send someone to meet him.
After doing all this, they leisurely caught up with Alan and the others.
