What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

Before he could even speak, Chen Dong, who was standing next to him, exploded.

"No way?!"

Chen Dong's eyes widened, and he immediately took half a step forward.

"You think you can't play games with the Chu family?!"

That shout wasn't small.

The warriors who had just been cheering for passing the first test also turned their heads to look over.

Clearly, Chen Dong wasn't the only one who was unhappy.

However, Chu Hong had already turned around to arrange the next trial and ignored them.

Chen Dong, however, remained indignant.

"Why should I?"

"It's one thing to not allow the use of figurines, but someone just broke the seal on someone else with a figurine."

"Why not just ban everything at the resort? Isn't that going too far?"

Xu Tianlin was initially speechless.

Hearing this, I became quite interested.

He turned his head to look at Chen Dong.

"How so?"

"What do you mean?!"

Chen Dong glanced at Xu Tianlin with a startled expression.

"Brother, these days, which young martial artist like us doesn't bring some stuff from the resort with us when we come out for trials?"

"Teleport scroll, dynamic figure."

"In some places, Macau's chip cards are more effective than credit points!"

"If you don't even have any resort gear on you, when you go out with other people, they'll look at you and ask, 'Dude, don't you usually go out?'"

Xu Tianlin raised an eyebrow slightly.

This statement...

This was somewhat unexpected for him.

He knew, of course, that the resort was doing brisk business.

It's impossible for the number of construction points in the system to keep increasing all day long if it's not popular.

Xu Tianlin stroked his chin and deliberately asked:

"This resort is that famous?"

Chen Dong paused, turned his head, and stared intently at Xu Tianlin.

His eyes held a mixture of confusion and shock.

"elder brother."

Chen Dong stared at Xu Tianlin for several seconds. "Which remote mountain village did you come from?"

Xu Tianlin: -. -?

"no."

Chen Dong chuckled at his question, "You don't even know how famous the resort is?"

"Who among the twelve prefectures hasn't heard of that place?"

"Let alone us young martial artists, even the uncle next door to me, who rarely even goes to the Battlefield of the Heavens, was asking around every day recently whether he had enough money to go for a soak in a hot spring."

At this point, Chen Dong clicked his tongue twice.

"I estimate that, apart from ancient bloodline families like the Chu family, most families usually focus all their attention on their own bloodline."

"Among our twelve prefectures, how many martial artists wouldn't want to move to a resort?"

"Ten times the training."

"There are hot springs for those who are injured."

"If you have too much malevolent energy, you can go to a spa."

"If I had a little more money, I'd also keep some action figures and teleportation scrolls on hand."

Chen Dong shrugged.

"Who wouldn't want to live here?"

"I want both."

When Chen Dong talked about these things, his eyebrows were beaming with excitement.

He seemed eager to bring out everything from the resort right now and give Xu Tianlin a live product presentation.

But as he spoke, his voice slowed down, and the excitement on his face faded somewhat.

"It's just...too expensive."

Xu Tianlin glanced at him.

Chen Dong rubbed his hands together.

"It's definitely good."

"The problem is, good things are expensive."

"Ordinary martial artists like us have to spend money on cultivation, and we also have to spend money on spirit weapons. When we go out, we have to prepare all sorts of random things."

"I really have to go to the resort every few days..."

Chen Dong shook his head.

"We can't hold on."

"Many people save up for a long time before they're willing to go on a trip like this."

As he said this, he looked around.

"certainly."

"Those who are capable have already figured out the way."

"A few people form a demon-hunting team and use the resort as a transit hub."

"Go out and kill alien races, come back to replenish supplies, cultivate, recover, and then go out again after resting."

"The resources earned are then poured back in; to put it bluntly, it's about using war to sustain war."

"As long as the team is strong enough, once they get going, they can keep spinning."

Chen Dong grinned.

"But that's because they're capable."

"Ordinary low-level martial artists... still can't afford it."

Xu Tianlin did not speak immediately.

He stood there, his fingers slowly touching his chin.

this problem……

I had never seriously considered this before.

The resort is doing very well now; it's beyond just being "good."

There are many guests.

Construction sites are rising rapidly.

Even after buying so many plots of land this time, the construction points in my system account are still increasing.

From the perspective of business operators.

Everything is normal, and you could even say it's quite beautiful.

But the question is—how many martial artists are there in the twelve human prefectures?

Hundreds of millions!

Compared to this number, the number of people the resort can currently accommodate is indeed only a very small fraction.

The people Xu Tianlin had met in the past could easily give him a misconception.

For example, Luo Yurou.

Back then, we were so poor that we even had to take out a loan to stay at a resort.

Xu Tianlin felt sorry for him when he saw it.

Think about it carefully.

No matter how poor Luo Yurou was, she was still a student who could get into a prefectural martial arts university.

Among young human warriors, he was already considered an elite.

What about her next?

What about ordinary martial artists who failed to enter the Imperial Martial Arts Academy, lacked resources, didn't have powerful teams, and didn't have stable incomes?

They wouldn't even consider living there long-term.

I'm afraid that even if I were to go in once, I'd have to count the days on my fingers for at least half a month.

Xu Tianlin tapped his chin lightly twice with his fingers.

"Looks like... we need to consider the lower-tier market."

Chen Dong didn't hear clearly.

"What market?"

"fine."

Xu Tianlin waved his hand, but his mind was already racing.

Even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat.

Moreover, when all the mosquito legs in the world are piled up together, can they still be called mosquito legs?

Xu Tianlin's eyes gradually brightened.

How did the art of sword fighting originate?

Others might not know, but how could he, a marketing graduate, not know?

Each person earns a little.

What about 100 million people?

The more Xu Tianlin thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was indeed worth going back to investigate.

After the previous system upgrade, I kept thinking about the world anchor point, aesthetics, and various new features.

They neglected to expand their most basic customer base.

Just as Xu Tianlin was pondering this, Chen Dong's voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Big brother."

"Um?"

Xu Tianlin looked up and saw a flash of light in Chen Dong's hand, followed by a teleportation scroll appearing in his hand.

Xu Tianlin: "?"

Before he could react, Chen Dong had already shoved the reel into his hand.

"Big brother, this is for you."

Xu Tianlin looked down at the teleportation scroll in his hand, which he knew all too well, and remained silent for two seconds.

"This is……"

"The resort's teleportation scroll!"

Chen Dong looked completely at ease.

After saying that, as if afraid that Xu Tianlin wouldn't recognize him, he reached out and tapped the scroll twice.

"It's the one I just told you about."

"Just use it when you get there, and you'll know if what I said is true."

Chen Dong got more and more excited as he spoke.

"Brother, let me tell you something."

"Some things are useless to just listen to what others say."

"Once you go there, you'll realize that place is completely different from where we usually live."

"I guarantee you'll discover a whole new world!"

"You're already this strong; once we get to the resort, I guarantee you'll be like a fish in water, a tiger with wings, like..."

"Yeah, don't forget about your little brother then!"

Chen Dong put on an expression that said, "If I become rich and powerful, I will not forget you."

Xu Tianlin looked down at the teleportation scroll in his hand, then looked up at Chen Dong.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

I've been running my own resort for so long.

This is the first time someone has ever been so enthusiastic about recommending their own store to me.

And fearing he wouldn't have enough money to go, they even prepared a teleportation scroll for him.

He's a really nice person.

Seeing that Xu Tianlin was not speaking, Chen Dong assumed that Xu Tianlin was embarrassed to accept the money, so he waved his hand.

"Take it, take it."

"It's just a teleportation scroll, brother, I can afford to send it!"

His expression was very generous, and even subtly implied a "let me show you the world" attitude.

Xu Tianlin looked at him.

After a while, he put the reel away, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"OK."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Chen Dong waved his hand.

"We're brothers."

"What's this?"

Just then, Chu Hong's voice suddenly came from ahead, his voice carrying his Yuan energy and clearly spreading throughout the surroundings.

"under."

"Proceed directly to the second stage of the trial—"

"Sharpening Heart Rock!"
