Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Where did we first meet?

Unlike Tu Shan Ya Ya, who judges people by intuition, Tu Shan Rong Rong's method of confirming Fang Rui's identity is more reasonable.

"Is this the first time we've met..." Fang Rui, who knew Tu Shan Rongrong's thoughts, said, "I remember it was in my family's courtyard."

"What was the first book you recommended to me?" Tu Shan Rongrong continued to ask.

"It's the Complete Guide to Basic Spells of Tushan," Fang Rui replied confidently.

The question-and-answer session between the two continued for a while. After asking a question, Tu Shan Rongrong paused for a moment, slowly opened her eyes, looked at Fang Rui, and said, "Fang Rui, it's been a long time."

"It's been quite a long time."

Fang Rui nodded slightly. What is a few months to me is more than two hundred years to them.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

After confirming Fang Rui's identity, Tu Shan Honghong also lowered her guard and revealed a beautiful smile. After many years, she was overjoyed to be reunited with her friend.

Tu Shan Honghong and the others did not have any intention of asking why Fang Rui's appearance had not changed at all in more than two hundred years. After all, that was Fang Rui's secret, and as friends, they should not pry into it.

but……

Even without investigating his secrets, she could guess from the limited information she had that his secrets were enough to drive both humans and monsters crazy. Therefore, she felt that as a friend, she should warn Fang Rui.

"Fang Rui, you need to be careful. You have the power to..."

However, before Tu Shan Honghong could finish speaking, Fang Rui raised his hand and pointed around: "Please rephrase your words."

Tu Shan Honghong: "…………"

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Honghong recalled the previous scene: tens of thousands of world-class experts, whose combat strength was above the first-rate level, attacked Fang Rui together, only to be completely annihilated by him...

Thinking of this, Tu Shan Honghong's expression gradually darkened. When almost all of the world's high-level combat forces disappear, the world will undoubtedly face turmoil.

Ambitious human and demonic forces will surely seize the opportunity to start a war, thereby reshuffling the world order and gaining benefits.

Once a chaotic war breaks out, with multiple forces attacking each other and vying for territory,

"what happened?"

Seeing that Tu Shan Honghong's expression was gradually becoming serious, Fang Rui felt a little strange and asked her directly.

Tu Shan Ya Ya and Tu Shan Rong Rong both cast worried glances at her. Tu Shan Hong Hong's sudden change in expression, filled with sadness and heaviness, was impossible to ignore.

"I'm struggling with how to prevent war from breaking out..."

Tu Shan Honghong shared her speculation, and Tu Shan Rongrong nodded slightly, agreeing with her sister's prediction. After more than 90% of the high-end combat power disappeared, the original structure would definitely break down, and the world would be in chaos for a period of time before a new structure was formed.

As for Tu Shan Ya Ya, she didn't think that much about it. After learning about her sister's troubles, she frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution.

She waved her little fists, her expression both fierce and cute, and said, "Let's beat them all up so they won't dare to start a war."

"That makes sense."

Fang Rui nodded slightly in agreement with Tu Shan Ya Ya's suggestion. Tu Shan Rong Rong and Tu Shan Hong Hong looked helpless. When these two straightforward people got together, they always managed to say some surprising things.

Before the two could offer their opinions, Fang Rui added, "But... Honghong, your worries won't come true."

As he spoke, Fang Rui turned his head to the left, his gaze landing on the empty space: "Am I right, Third Young Master?"

Before the words had faded, golden light appeared out of thin air, and a small luminous figure floated in the air, its posture as if it were sitting in a spacious seat.

At the same time, a golden light descended from the sky, transforming into a beautiful young woman, none other than Liu Er, the second young lady of Aolai Kingdom.

"You're right."

The third young master's tone was calm and even, yet it gave people an unusual feeling, making them feel that what he said was correct, and their inner worries dissipated.

Why would I have this thought?

With a sense of doubt, Tu Shan Honghong asked herself this question. After thinking about it carefully for a while, a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

'It must be the other party's confidence!'

It's like the confidence that what you say is the truth.

"There were no casualties at all, so how could the situation you described have occurred?"

Before Tu Shan Honghong could continue pondering, she was stunned by a bombshell announcement.

"What did you say?!"

The third young master didn't repeat what he had said before, but instead explained, "With my second sister and me here, how could we allow any casualties to occur?"

'After all... it's more useful to keep the losers alive.'

The third young master silently added in his mind.

Tu Shan Honghong, who did not know Xiao Guangren, did not believe his words. She immediately checked on the nearby cultivators and found that although they were seriously injured, they were still alive and had recovered perfectly without any aftereffects due to timely treatment.

She then continued to examine the situation of the cultivators and demons further away, and concluded that they were all in the same boat: all of them had serious injuries that were not life-threatening, and that they could be perfectly recovered with timely treatment and without any aftereffects.

Oh, right, except for the Poison Scorpion Demon King.

Such a strange situation made Tu Shan Hong Hong turn her questioning gaze to Fang Rui and Xiao Guang Ren.

Explaining in detail would be too troublesome, so Fang Rui focused on the key points: "Simply put, I never intended to kill anyone from the very beginning."

Otherwise, with his current strength, he could easily defeat... well, the combined forces of cultivators and demons.

"When I saw what Fang Rui was doing, I had a sudden thought that having a common enemy hanging over the heads of humans and monsters should be able to stop them from fighting."

Hikaru recalled the scene he had witnessed: the two forces, who were clearly enemies, had become like brothers because their family treasures had been stolen by the same person, and they were very friendly and supportive of each other.

This led him to seek out Fang Rui and decide to implement a bold plan.

"It was indeed a very sudden and unexpected idea."

Liu Er nodded slightly, indicating that the adjective used to describe the Third Young Master was very appropriate.

"Your idea is simply not going to work. Once the common enemy is gone, the situation will return to normal."

“I understand, so I’m thinking of a solution.”

The third young master rubbed his cheek, his tone somewhat troubled, as he wasn't very good at these things.

"I do have a suggestion..."

Fang Rui's sudden speech drew everyone's attention. He said calmly, "War requires money. As long as we can control the economic lifeline, it's like holding a cat by the scruff of its neck. No matter how much they struggle, they can't break free."

After thinking for a moment, the Third Young Master said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. Explain in detail how to do it."

"I haven't thought about it yet," Fang Rui said, spreading his hands.

Chapter 147 Another Sudden Idea

"...No wonder they're master and disciple! Their impulsive and unpredictable ways of doing things are exactly the same."

After a few seconds of silence, Liu whispered with a hint of sarcasm.

After analyzing the situation carefully for a while, the third young master concluded that Fang Rui's suggestion was somewhat feasible and expressed his agreement: "Not bad~"

His brief manner of speaking immediately drew subtle glances from the people present, who were unsure whether he was praising Liu Er for speaking well or saying that Fang Rui's suggestion suited his taste.

After carefully analyzing the current situation for a while, Tu Shan Rongrong expressed her opinion: "Even if Fang Rui currently controls more than half of the world's open money, we lack the channels to transform it into power. We are still a bit short of being able to use this to control the economic lifeline of the entire world."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and made a tiny gesture, "Fingertip Universe·JPG".

Tu Shan Honghong nodded slightly in agreement, and at the same time took out a Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman to send a message to the remaining members of the Qi Dao Alliance in a nearby town, notifying them to come and rescue the people.

Tu Shan Ya Ya didn't listen carefully to her younger sister's analysis; she was contacting various demon clans to notify them to come and rescue people.

Liu Er had no interest in the matter and did not participate in the discussion. He watched quietly from the sidelines. If the spiritual peach in his hand were replaced with a watermelon, he would definitely be a mere bystander.

The Third Young Master affirmed Tu Shan Rongrong's analysis, finding it very reasonable.

"Channels..." Fang Rui pondered for a moment, then asked the people present, "What do you think... about opening a money exchange, one that's all over the world?"

"Qianzhuang?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then followed Fang Rui's line of thought and analyzed the situation further, nodding slightly and agreeing, "A good suggestion."

Opening a money exchange to turn a massive amount of money into power is indeed a good idea, and with strong military force, there's no need to worry about the money exchange being robbed.

There's no need to continue discussing whether this method is useful; practice will provide the answer.

Anyway, opening a money exchange isn't such a bad thing... I guess so!

After discussing their options, the group turned their attention to the nearby cultivators and demons. They were all high-ranking members of their respective factions and were the bank's valued customers.

Furthermore, he needed to inform them about setting up the money exchange to avoid any unnecessary trouble later on.

That said, if a money exchange wants to expand throughout the entire industry, it will definitely need a lot of manpower. Where am I going to find so many people?

Fang Rui's gaze fell on Xiao Guangren. As the third young master of Aolai Kingdom, he possessed a territory of moderate size and a treasure trove containing many rare and precious items. As the former strongest in the world, he was still the second or third strongest in the world...

But... despite his many titles, he couldn't conjure up a group of usable people for me.

Wait a minute, it doesn't seem like it's impossible.

The four characters "Clone Technique" suddenly appeared in his mind, causing his gaze to gradually change.

"Hiss~ I feel like there's a malicious gaze on me."

The Third Young Master, who was chatting with Tu Shan Ya Ya and others, suddenly shivered. His eyes darted around and quickly locked onto Fang Rui, who had a malicious look on his face.

Needless to say, the source of that gaze was definitely him.

Now that the problem has been identified, it must be solved.

The third young master said, "Get to the point. Don't look at me like that, it gives me the creeps."

Without hesitation, Fang Rui immediately expressed his idea: by creating countless clones, he could solve the problem of the first batch of employees in the shortest time, ensuring both their loyalty and combat strength. He wouldn't have to worry about anyone causing trouble, and he wouldn't have to pay their salaries, saving him money.

Killing three birds with one stone, what a perfect plan!

The Third Young Master was furious about this!

"Stop, stop rambling on and on. First, tell me how many people we need for the first batch, and how long we need to sustain them."

The third young master interrupted Fang Rui's self-absorption, pulling him back to reality.

"There's no need to do too many at first. Let's start with two hundred to test the waters! Assuming five employees per shop, that's a total of one thousand people. One thousand hairs is nothing to you!"

"As for how long it will take, recruiting employees takes time, basic training and building loyalty also take time, so I can't give you an exact timeframe, but it will take at least a few years..."
