The Great Seminary

Chapter 281 Getting Started
The 'Lion Spider Jungle' has been passed down through countless generations in the True Spider Maya family and has never been lost.

This is both a miracle and the result of the family's generations-long education in 'honor' from childhood.

However, a sudden plague finally exhausted the good fortune of the Mayan True Spider family, which had existed for countless years.

Of those who died, only one young girl remained to inherit the incomparably noble name 'True Spider Maya'.

And the true spider Maya would absolutely have used her life to protect the legacy of the 'Lion Spider Jungle'.

But by chance, she was rescued by Zhang Gui and taken to the True Dragon Kingdom.

Through several years of personal experience, I gradually came to understand that for an individual to rise to a high position, and for a family to prosper, it takes effort.

It doesn't necessarily have to rely on that extremely vague and ethereal revenge or restoration.

A social order that is recognized by all citizens from top to bottom, and that they are willing to defend to the death, and the wealth and status that are protected.

In fact, it is more stable than relying on brutal means such as killing, tyranny, and intimidation to maintain wealth and status.

It was this change in perception that ultimately led her to offer up the 'Lion Spider Jungle' in exchange for her own wealth and the resurgence of her family.

In fact, if the ancestors of the true spider Maya had the same opportunity, they would most likely have made the same choice.

However, they knew that if their family offered the 'Lion Spider Forest' to any ruler of the Southern Red Continent, they would only be considered fools and slaughtered.

They will not receive any reward.

Because for an emperor, the notion of 'fair trade between the strong and the weak' is nothing but a joke.

And now the true dragon emperor is verifying step by step that there are indeed exceptions.

Therefore, the true spider Maya bowed deeply and said in a double entendre:

"That's why I said earlier that I deeply regretted not trusting your 'fairness, justice, kindness and generosity'."

But this time it definitely won't be like that.

"Then you should start as a Seven-Star Guardian General, the newly created Chief of the Guardian General of 'Dragon Tail County'."

Do not embezzle.

I will immediately establish a 'National Merit Fund' and include the entire 'gambling industry' of Zhenlong as a grant.

Your family will receive an indefinite share of the dividends, 'A's' equal share.

Also, don't be rash; proceed slowly and steadily.

You will definitely get everything you desire, even ten times more.

Upon hearing this, Maya the Spider's voice trembled slightly as she said, "I have no doubt about it."

Zhang Gui laughed.
"It seems you trust me more in terms of 'fairness, justice, kindness, and generosity' than you do in terms of words."

Go forth, my Seven Star Guardian General, Chief of the Dragon Tail County Guardian.

You won the bet.

Go back to your current position and continue to fulfill your responsibilities.

After all, this may be the last time in your life that you personally serve the people.

We should finish strong and leave a good impression.

"I understand, Your Majesty."

Maya the Spider nodded emphatically.

"And my voice trembled just now not because I didn't believe deep down that you truly possess many virtues."

It was because they were hungry.

Because I ate too much oily food at noon, I didn't eat anything for dinner.

So many wonderful surprises happened after we started work that my mind was so excited I almost couldn't keep up.

"Understood, then eat one of the food pills."

Zhang Gui took out a pure meat pill from his pocket and stuffed it into the hand of the true spider Maya.

"You know what pure meatballs are, right? Eat them little by little, don't overeat them. You'll get better soon."

Maya the Spider took a tiny bite of the pill and swallowed it, then bowed deeply to the Emperor.

He rode off on his 'flying wheel'.

Zhang Gui, who remained in place, squatted down again and continued to observe the changes in the 'secret realm' he had created.

It wasn't until dawn that I finally teleported to the 'Civilization Vanguard City' on the west side of True Dragon Island, feeling completely satisfied.

Over a vast area of ​​100,000 li, he walked around performing the ritual of "Earth Vein Pointing and Great Creation of Secret Realms" for several months, using mystical and incoherent methods.

Apart from making a brief appearance every ten days or so to revert to 'civilization' and deal with various miscellaneous matters, they worked day and night without rest.

Now that we've finally succeeded, the word 'easy' perfectly describes it.

First, head to the newly opened 'True Dragon Spring Public Bathhouse' at the pier for a relaxing soak and scrub.

Then we went to 'Zhenlong Food City' to enjoy a delicious meal and drinks.

Finally, I changed into a brand new set of shorts and a t-shirt in the clothing store, styled like a dragon.

Wearing sandals and smoking a thin "Dragon Beard" yellow cigar, he paid the bill and left.

Zhang Gui neatly flagged down a steam-powered taxi on the roadside.

The train swayed and rocked as we arrived at 'Silver Fish Street,' in front of the Black Lion and Tiger Joint Trading Company.

He pushed open the door and entered the store, nodding and smiling at the young man and woman selling the goods before saying a word.

"Hi everyone, is Salissa upstairs?"

The head waitress stared for a long time before recognizing the Asian man with hip-length hair as her other, much-talked-about boss.

She hurriedly lifted her skirt and stammered:
"Good afternoon, Professor Lu Yang, Your Excellency."

Ms. Salissa is working in her office upstairs.

"That's wonderful." Zhang Gui nodded in gratitude.

He strode upstairs and knocked on Salissa's office door. "Salissa, I'm here."

"Come in yourself, Tsuo."

In your own territory, amidst what the Easterners call 'being busy with countless affairs of state'.

It's truly an honor to finally reappear at this small company we've been working with.

Salissa's slightly excited voice came from the office.

Zhang Gui pushed open the office door and walked in, just about to make a joke as well.
Suddenly, I saw a strange man in the office kneel down on one knee and bow to me with his hand on his chest.

"Homage to you, mighty and noble 'King of Winter'."

"Oh, hello sir."

Zhang Gui gave a surprised reply, then turned his head to Salisa and gave her a look, meaning 'that's what I mean'.

But before Salissa could answer, the stranger who had been bowing stood up, turned back to say goodbye to Salissa.
"Then I'll be going now, Ms. Salissa."

He then bowed to Zhang Gui again, saying, "Please allow me to take my leave, Your Excellency."

Only then did he leave the office.

"Oh, Salisa, it's rare to find so many polite and handsome men among the overseas slave traders of 'Civilization Vanguard City'."

Or is he pursuing you, which is why he's behaving a little 'over the top'?

Zhang Gui grinned, sat down opposite Saliss, and lit another yellow cigar.

"He seems more like he's pursuing you, or rather, pursuing the power and status you possess."

"Your Majesty the True Dragon Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Salisa smiled and brewed a cup of strong, sweet coffee for her business partner, looking him in the eye as she replied.
