The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3647 This is a good business!

Lin Chen immediately understood what Chen Wuji was saying.

Protection money, huh!

They pay protection money to the Wolong Sect on a regular basis, and if they encounter difficulties from others, they can ask the Wolong Sect for help.

The thirteen saints of the Wolong Sect, plus their own Star Jump, could arrive in an instant, even though they were far apart.

The Sixth District was in chaos, which resulted in the absence of any particularly powerful forces. After all, everyone has their own selfish desires. However, with more and more saints in a force, troubles and conflicts increased, and some became irreconcilable.

In areas where order is maintained, although the principle of "might makes right" still applies, the cohesion of sects is extremely strong.

These sects have a long history of inheritance. From the sages to the disciples, everyone in the sect has developed a sense of belonging and honor. They are basically devoted to the sect. Although they may have selfish thoughts, they are often willing to sacrifice their personal interests or even their lives to protect the sect.

Under such circumstances, the more saints and quasi-saints a sect has, the stronger it will become, as they will all be of one mind and work together towards the same goal.

The Sixth District has long been in chaos. Powerful forces like the Moon Reflection Sect that once existed have long been scattered or even destroyed. Many saints have come together for their own interests, and even though they belong to the same faction, they are still scheming against each other and plotting against each other.

If a faction has relatively few saints, such as the Sword Soul Sect or the Blood Sea Sect, although they occupy a smaller territory, there will be fewer conflicts between the saints. However, once the number of saints reaches double digits or more, it becomes difficult for the saints, each with their own agenda, to get along harmoniously.

The more saints there are, the more contradictions arise, ultimately leading to the disintegration of people's hearts and the collapse of the organization.

Under such circumstances, the entire Sixth District lacks any other districts with a massive force like the Holy Land, which boasts over a hundred saints. The vast majority of these forces are similar in size to the Sword Soul Sect.

There are also scattered forces like the previous Earth Dragon Gate, but these forces are generally located in relatively remote areas. Moreover, once one or two extremely powerful forces emerge or two or three unite, it is easy to create a snowball effect, eventually merging these forces into one or several relatively large forces.

As far as Lin Chen knows, there aren't many forces in the entire Sixth District that have more than twenty Saints. Even if there are, they are usually subordinate forces of temples in other districts. They come to the Sixth District purely to seize talent and resources, and then send them back to other districts.

Chen Wuji's words gave Lin Chen another idea for making money.

They're collecting protection money!

Normally, even if a powerful force wants to protect others, it has to consider the distance. If someone is in real danger, it will take a long time to ask for help, and it will take a long time for you to get there. By the time you arrive, their family may have been wiped out.

Lin Chen's Starry Sky Jump perfectly solved the distance problem.

The entire sixth district arrived in an instant!

In addition, there are not many forces in the entire Sixth District with more than twenty saints. Even though the Wolong Sect only has thirteen, it is enough to support the relatively smaller forces.

Even if the enemy has twenty saints, you must have a few yourself. If you really encounter danger, suddenly you can add thirteen saints, bringing the total number close to twenty. Would the enemy still dare to make a move?

This is a great business opportunity!
If enough forces can be protected, and each force can be charged a protection fee, then the total amount of these protection fees will not be a small sum!
The territory now occupied by the Wolong Sect has enough resources to maintain its normal operation and development. If they earn back the protection fees, wouldn't that be pure profit?

"We can talk."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wuji was overjoyed and immediately invited everyone back to the Sword Soul Sect. The arrival of so many sages at the Sword Soul Sect was inherently a dangerous affair, but Lin Chen's previous actions—including negotiating the deal, taking full responsibility, and voluntarily taking his leave—had earned Chen Wuji's trust.

He believed that Lin Chen was not the kind of person who would rob and kill indiscriminately without any sense of morality.

When everyone returned to the Sword Soul Sect, Chen Wuji met up with the few who had stayed behind. He first reported the good news, and then proposed paying protection fees in exchange for the protection of the Crouching Dragon Sect.

The protection of the thirteen saints can basically save the Sword Soul Sect from most dangers, and the Crouching Dragon Sect can even provide them with military support when they have a suitable opportunity to expand.

Having just acquired a large piece of territory, the Sword Soul Sect's profits skyrocketed, giving them confidence. The Sword Soul Sect Master agreed to the matter without hesitation.

The negotiations didn't last long. Firstly, the Sword Soul Sect was sincere and quite generous with the amount of "protection money." Secondly, this was Lin Chen's first client, and since the Sword Soul Sect's living environment wasn't too harsh, the protection money was more like free money, so he didn't take the opportunity to extort money from them.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement: the Sword Soul Sect would exchange 20% of its annual revenue for the martial protection of the Crouching Dragon Sect.

When the Sword Soul Sect encounters danger, the Crouching Dragon Sect will provide at least ten Saints or more in terms of military support. Even in the face of an insurmountable crisis, Lin Chen will do his utmost to ensure the safety of the core members of the Sword Soul Sect and send them to a safe place.

If the Sword Soul Sect needs the military support of the Crouching Dragon Sect for expansion or other actions, then additional payment will be required.

Both parties were pleased after the agreement was reached.

With military support, the Sword Soul Sect can now rest easy. At least those four forces will no longer dare to take any extreme actions against the Sword Soul Sect. Although they have paid some price, they have gained an extremely strong sense of security.

To give the five saints of the Sword Soul Sect more confidence, Lin Chen brought Chen Wuji with him when he returned to the Crouching Dragon Sect.

Since they've paid you, you should at least let them know where your sect is and what its general situation is.

In business, you have to be honest.

Chen Wuji's suggestion inspired Lin Chen.

This business can be expanded.

The saints of the Wolong Sect don't really need to cultivate, since spiritual power alone is basically useless. They need to gradually comprehend or use external objects to improve. In that case, wouldn't it be better for everyone to work hard and earn resources together?
Lin Chen considered it for a moment and prepared to establish new rules for the distribution of protection fees.

The more you work, the more you earn; the less you work, the less you earn; if you don't work, you get nothing!

Lin Chen, relying on his special and indispensable supernatural ability of Star Jump, must be present every time and cannot be absent. Naturally, he should receive more. Then, the others are converted into contribution points based on their strength, attendance, etc., and finally, the protection fee is distributed according to the contribution points.

Because protection fees are considered extra income earned through everyone's hard work, the sect retains a very low percentage, distributing the rest to motivate everyone.

After seeing off the extremely satisfied Chen Wuji, Lin Chen announced the revised rules that had been discussed.

The new rules excited all the saints of the Wolong Sect.
