Sir! Don't close the net!

Of course, everything has its limits. The public isn't stupid. If the propaganda goes too far and grabs too many resources, it will cause dissatisfaction among other capitalists. If the design is too rubbish, it will become a weak point to attack.

So things become much simpler.

Throw money at it! Throw money at it like crazy, the more extravagant the better!

Design whatever you want, the more anti-human the better!

After that, Li Yili patted his behind and went home. With a general direction in mind, he left it to the Yunzhong executives to do as they pleased. He admitted that El was indeed very talented, but that didn't change the fact that El was just a logistics guy. Instas was not a small place like Guoweidun. The largest seaport in Nibelungen meant a mixed bag of people, with all sorts of ruthless characters. Such blatant attempts to steal the limelight would definitely displease the local tyrants in Instas.

Of course, although Li Yili had never watched the financial channel, she had seen similar movies and naturally understood some principles. Regardless of whether it was a sunset industry or not, a large influx of funds would immediately turn it into a sunrise industry. But that was just like giving adrenaline to someone who was seriously injured and dying. The person who was seriously injured and dying would still be seriously injured and dying. When the time came, no amount of adrenaline would help.

He doesn't have a time limit of spending all his money in a month.

Of course, the phenomenon of making a fortune by taking over unfinished buildings is truly unstoppable, but!

Is Dead Sea a type of real estate? Dead Sea... can it really become a school district property?

nonexistent.

The Dead Man's Sea Underwater Park is a bottomless pit that can never be filled. As long as the underwater park is not built, all the surrounding products are worthless junk. Even if the underwater park is built, those surrounding products will still be junk. Please, is anyone really willing to go to an underwater park built in the Dead Man's Sea?

But we still need to play it safe. We'll just focus on publicity and not rush into construction. After all, there are no stocks in this world that cheat ordinary people. All the money will become real, unused resources. Without stocks that incite greed, ordinary people won't be foolish enough to hand over their money.

The construction of the underwater park will inevitably affect Instasdas' oldest fishing industry.

It's settled—

“You seem to be having a great time,” Valkyrie, who was lounging on the sofa looking at the sea view, raised the glass in her hand toward Li Yili.

"Really?" Li Yili looked at the huge floor-to-ceiling window facing Valhou Lei. It was almost night, and the sun had set below the horizon. Unfortunately, the sunlight could not penetrate the sea curtain that led directly to the Milky Way. Instead, the starlight seeped down like paint dripping into the sea.

It is indeed a beautiful scene, but the premise of beauty is that the world is boring and mundane. In an absurd world, such a beautiful scene will only remind him of more absurd things.

So Li Yili simply drew the curtains.

"Hey—what are you doing!" Valkyrie waved her fist at Li Yili in dissatisfaction.

"Didn't you dislike ocean view rooms? How come you're enjoying them now?" Li Yili flipped her hair.

One eye roll.

“But there’s a wine cellar and an open-air hot spring,” Valhae Rae replied quite frankly.

"what……"

"Is this the attitude you should have towards your boss?!"

“Don’t forget who’s keeping you,” Li Yili turned and walked to the gas pipeline, raising her hand to tap the meter.

Personally, he quite likes this kind of mechanical thing, but he would definitely refuse to live that way. Although it is indeed much more convenient than his previous life, the convenience will remind him of his life on Earth, which will then create a strong sense of loss and a sense of despondency that he can never go back to that kind of life.

Li Yili glanced sideways at Valhou Rai's long, white legs lying on the sofa and grinned.

I've recovered some of my energy.

“Ahem—humph, that’s on the condition that you can continue to support me,” Valkyrie Lei shifted her posture, tossed her hair, and looked proud. “This is Instas, not some small place like Guoweidun. You can’t have all the power anymore, so my asking price has to go up.”

Li Yili raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms, and said with a slight lift of her eyebrows, "So you're planning to ditch me?"

After remaining silent for a while while tossing her hair, Valkyrie landed on her white legs and gracefully walked to Li Yili in front of her. She jumped up, her white legs directly clamping around Li Yili's waist and her ankles intertwining behind Li Yili's back. She wrapped her arms around Li Yili's neck and slammed her head directly into Li Yili's chin, grinding it upwards forcefully.

“How could that be? Whether you are poor or rich, I will follow you. I believe it’s only a matter of time before you make a comeback!” Valkyrie winked at Li Yili with considerable skill. “So, could you arrange one of those cool carriages outside for me?”

“If it weren’t for the second half of that sentence, I probably would have been moved,” Li Yili rolled her eyes.

Valkyrie laughed awkwardly as she released Li Yili, then offered her the pungent liquor in her hand, as if trying to ingratiate herself, "Want a sip to celebrate your comeback?"

“You…you’re not hiding something from me, are you?” Li Yili raised her eyes.

Valkyrie swallowed hard, her gaze instinctively shifting away. "Haha... what are you talking about? Why would I hide anything from you?"

“Gungnir, right?” Li Yili walked up a few steps of the stairs, turned around, and looked down at Valkyrie with her chin up. “Back then at the pastry shop, the woman across from you was also a Valkyrie, right? There must have been only two or three Valkyries who could make you feel so humble.”

"Since when did you start... wait a minute! Who are you calling humble?! It's just respecting the elderly and caring for the young!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Valkyrie blushed and turned around, taking a few quick steps down the stairs past Li Yili. She stood higher than Li Yili, arms crossed, looking down at her.

"It's just about respecting the elderly and caring for the young!"

"So, it really is Gungnir's problem?"

Valkyrie's momentum faltered, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded, "Yes, we absolutely cannot miss."

"What will happen if we miss?" Li Yili's expression turned serious.

“I have absolutely no idea,” Valhae Rae stuck out her tongue. “It’s precisely because I don’t know that it’s terrifying.”

"Really? Then there's nothing to worry about."

"Hey—do you know what happens when Gungnir misses? Oh right! You're the user, of course you know! Hahaha—that scared me to death."

Seeing Li Yili's calm expression, Valhou Lei was immediately relieved, and laughing heartily, she happily skipped up the stairs with the wine bottle in her hand.

Watching Valkyrie's retreating figure, Li Yili pouted.

He certainly didn't know what would happen if he missed, but what could he do now that he had already missed?

Although it's unknown which Valkyrie was sitting opposite Valkyrie at the time, judging from Valkyrie's cautious demeanor, the other party likely possessed some ability to read emotions. Valkyrie's behavior would eventually be noticed by the other party, so it was better to reassure Valkyrie and let her not think about anything, so that the other party wouldn't be able to see through her.

Chapter Sixteen: Build it! Build it for him!

In one of the luxury residential buildings in the Instas district, the second floor was brightly lit. Various men and women dressed in expensive formal attire walked and talked on the red carpet that signified their status, sizing each other up and discussing trivial matters. They were all regulars at the ball and naturally knew how to occupy a dominant position in this circle of power and form small groups around themselves.

On the balcony, separated from the bustling and luxurious ball by only a glass pane, several burly men watched the ball gradually split into several groups with cold smiles, some smoking cigarettes and gazing up at the moon, while others looked out at the sea of ​​dead bodies that stretched straight into the starry sky.

They don't need to form cliques at such balls, because they are the organizers. Although Instas belongs to Galar, they are the real controllers of Instas because they divide up the entire Instas economy. They only need to unite and say one word to cause the collapse of Nibelungen's largest seaport. Their assets have long been established throughout Nibelungen, and they even have a base in the richest city, Hagen.

Of course, if Galarhorn were to get serious, given their "fight if you dare" mentality, it wouldn't be impossible for them to be completely wiped out.

Therefore, they would not gamble on the volatile temper of the Galar Horn.

"Just who is this Sheep Village Logistics?" Austin, the largest fisherman in India, clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. With blood from a collateral branch of the Hagen nobility, he was very unhappy with Sheep Village's impolite behavior.

“I don’t know, I’ve already sent people to investigate,” Ips, the curator of the Instas Museum, who has a bunch of side businesses, raised his glass to Austin. “But it’s strange, the fire elves’ building was taken over by the sheep village on the very first day. They’re sheep, but they’re as fierce as wolves.”

"Rob?" Richie, the largest real estate developer in India, raised an eyebrow.

“My men saw it; the Fire Elf employees were carrying all sorts of things out of their building, looking utterly frustrated,” Ips grinned. “I can’t think of any other explanation besides robbery. But for the Fire Elf to back down to this extent… Sheep Village must be something special.”

“No wonder they didn’t come to see us,” Austin sneered. “So they’ve already taken down a local tyrant. Did they think we’d be scared off?”

Ips, Richie, and several other local strongmen in Instasus fell silent.

They were indeed frightened. As the largest steel mill, the fire spirit was undoubtedly the biggest local bully in Instas. The fact that it had multiple Chosen Ones alone forced ordinary groups like them to bow down. Moreover, they all vaguely sensed that the fire spirit had another side.

This fearsome local bully was slapped hard by the Sheep Village, yet he didn't utter a single word.

Even these local bullies had to think twice.

"Hmph—look at the pathetic state you're in."

Austin scoffed. Although he was only from a collateral branch, he was a genuine nobleman and could summon divine favor. Instass originated from the fishing industry, which was far older and more deeply rooted than the steel mill. He controlled the entire fishing industry in Instass, and he was not afraid of the fire spirits in terms of either wealth or power.

"I heard through a tidbit that the guy throwing money around downtown this afternoon is none other than the minister from Sheep Village," Richie quickly changed the subject, noticing the somber atmosphere. "I heard he's planning an underwater park?"

"An underwater park? What's that? That's hilarious, hahaha—"

Austin clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.

Austin found it amusing, but the others didn't. They found it absurd and were also very uneasy. If Li Yili, the minister of Sheep Village, was just putting on a show, that would be one thing, but what if she was serious? Li Yili had already demonstrated her extravagant spending in the street; she really had the ability to build an underwater park!

“Hey, hey, hey…you guys don’t actually believe this, do you?” Austin raised an eyebrow at the serious expressions of the others. “Impossible, impossible. This is just a show. You’ve been fooled and he’s gotten away with it. Maybe the news you know about Sheep Village wanting to build an underwater park is just a smokescreen they’ve deliberately released to catch you off guard.”

“That’s true…” Richie sighed and remarked, “That minister from Sheep Village is indeed quite capable. After today’s commotion, quite a few people now know about him and Sheep Village Logistics.”

As he spoke, Richie tilted his head toward the world inside the glass, and the name Sheep Village Logistics seemed to become the main focus of discussion among the small teams.

Austin clicked his tongue in displeasure. They had specifically organized this ball to confirm whether the emergence of Sheep Village Logistics had impacted the internal power of Instas, and he was extremely dissatisfied with the result.

Making him dissatisfied will come at a heavy price.

“An underwater amusement park… right?” Austin laughed coldly. “This project is a bottomless pit. As long as it can’t be completed… heh, I wonder how long he can keep up with the extravagance.”

The others immediately understood Austin's meaning and expressed their sympathy for Sheep Village Logistics.

"What?! Li Yili wants to build an underwater park?!"

Josephine's eyes widened, and Joey and Alma, standing opposite her, nodded vigorously.

"I'm sorry, Minister, 200,000 gold coins is one thing, but he actually wants to build an underwater amusement park," Joey wiped the sweat from his forehead, "That's a bottomless pit!"

“He was planning to build them one after another,” Alma added. “Minister, let’s just let this go. If we stop now, we’ll only lose two hundred thousand gold coins—”

After a pause, Alma forced herself to continue.

"Moreover, the minister in charge of that black goat's cub is out of his mind and will definitely infuriate those people in Austin! They will definitely sabotage this project, and the longer it drags on, the bigger the hole will become!"

"Yes, Minister, at worst we can just continue to keep it a secret—"

"No!" Josephine slammed her fist heavily on the table. "The premise that we could keep it a secret was that no one had finished their project. Now that the Black Goat's cub is finished, things can't go back to the way they were before!"

Joey swallowed hard, and cautiously probed, "Then, Minister, we..."

"He wants to build an underwater park, right? Build it! Let him build it!"

“Hey—what about Austin and the others…” Alma was getting anxious.

"What are you afraid of! We are fire elves!"

Alma was fine as long as she didn't mention Austin, but the moment Josephine was mentioned, she got angry, crossed her arms, and sneered.

They seem to have no idea what they're doing.

They've figured out their place; it's time to teach them a lesson!

"Eh?!"

"Joey, within three days... no! Today, give me a list of all the materials needed to build an underwater park, and tomorrow send it to the Sheep Village Logistics Building! I want to see how a little lamb can bring down the Flame Elf!"

Li Yili reached out and pulled the operating spring, causing the huge lenses to turn around. The light emitted by the kerosene lamps was focused through the lenses and shot towards the deep sea in front of her, which was permeated with starlight. The incandescent light gradually dispelled the deep darkness, but the deep-sea fish, who were used to it, were frightened and scattered in all directions.

Li Yili kept her face expressionless as she wound up the spring.

He felt no remorse whatsoever for disrupting their peaceful lives, because they looked so repulsive.

Chapter Seventeen: What shady deal are you planning to make?
