After the slave owners went bankrupt, they all wanted to keep me as a mistress.

This system doesn't seem quite right!

He clearly only had ten million in system funds when he first arrived!

How come I keep getting more and more coins the more I use them!

He realized he hadn't gone out to earn money either!

The Byd system closed one door for him, and then closed another window, locking him in the room, right?

Mu Qiu now wishes he could crumple the ten gold coins into one and use them.

At this moment, the club's guards also arrived, and the captain of the guards was clearly at the peak of the Mithril level.

He glanced at the scene, especially at the whip in Mu Qiu's hand, his eyes narrowed, and then he immediately bowed respectfully to Mu Qiu: "Honorable guest, I am very sorry to have startled you. We will deal with those who violate the club's rules strictly in accordance with the Goddess's rules."

Then he turned to the unconscious Had, expressionless, and said in an icy voice, "Mr. Had, you have seriously violated the club's highest prohibition against violence and pose a fatal threat to the lives of other distinguished members. Please leave immediately. All your memberships will be cancelled immediately, and... you and your immediate family members will be permanently disqualified from entering any Fortune Club in the world!"

He paused, then added, "If nothing unexpected happens, I think the fortune bestowed upon you by the goddess will also disappear. For the sake of your future, I suggest you immediately dispose of the assets under your name."

After he finished speaking, two fierce-looking guards immediately stepped forward—yes, they were fierce-looking in the literal sense, as all the guards here were demi-humans with tiger heads and wolf bodies.

However, Mu Qiu also noticed a detail: the guard captain had more golden tiger stripes on his back and arms. It seemed that the more golden the stripes, the higher their status and the stronger they were.

The two tiger-headed wolf-like beings lifted the nearly unconscious Had and dragged him away from the scene like a dead dog, heading towards the exit.

Come to think of it... Luna and the others seem to be demi-humans of the tabby orange cat breed as well?

Mu Qiu unconsciously touched his chin.

Does the Goddess of Wealth have a particular fondness for tiger stripes?

He turned around and looked at the other slave owners present.

Upon seeing him, Iman coughed and subconsciously took two steps back: "Ahem... Little... Brother! We're both slave owners, so let's not ruin our friendship. I'm not here to gamble today."

"Yes, yes, I'm not here to gamble either!"

"I hate gambling the most!"

"Actually, I'm here to dissolve the betting game! I'm not here to participate in it!"

"Me too, me too!"

"I didn't bring a single penny with me! I can't gamble even if I wanted to!"

Seeing the group of people shaking their heads like rattles, Mu Qiu immediately lost interest in them as well.

These stingy slave owners, who would rather split a gold coin into ten pieces to use, seem to be from a completely different species than him.

They are far from God, but even further from man; they are closer to the beginning of life.

Sigh, isn't there any spendthrift son in this world who, like him, wants to squander all his money, so that he can learn from his advanced bankruptcy experience?

Mu Qiu sighed in distress, then turned and left the club with Fiona and Vera.

Seeing Mu Qiu sigh before leaving, the slave owners led by Iman shuddered instantly.

terrible!

terrible!

They hadn't realized it while they were caught up in the situation, but now that Hader had been kicked out of the club like a stray dog, Iman and the others suddenly realized that this young nobleman was after Haman!

He wasn't absolutely certain of winning; no one could control the outcome for the goddess.

He simply doesn't care about the money; even if he loses, he can try again, and again. He has a tolerance for mistakes that they can hardly imagine.

That contempt for money, and the extravagance that allowed them to treat slaves with such favor, was a level of luxury they could never have imagined.

In fact, that maid could even help this young nobleman earn tens of millions of gold coins!

Hamman not only lost millions of gold coins and a precious top-grade starstone, but more importantly, he completely lost his eligibility to join the club and the fortune bestowed upon him by the goddess of wealth.

If he doesn't sell his assets, he'll probably face misfortune soon!

Perhaps...we were wrong!

Iman suddenly shuddered and muttered to himself.

"In the past, we only thought about how to maximize the value of slaves. Slaves who could be obtained through reliable exploitation would always truly serve us."

“When we use these slaves, we must always be wary of them betraying us, and we dare not send them too far away, because that would put the slaves at risk of escaping.”

This is the limitation of slavery.

These slave owners who engaged in the slave trade could only ever operate their businesses on the outskirts of a single city.

If you want to expand your business empire, you must cooperate with other large slave owners, or be like an auction house, only responsible for consigning and capturing slaves without participating in the slave business, or have enough slave merchants under your command, each managing a territory.

But in that case, the slave traders' slaves would no longer be his slaves.

These slaves could attack the superiors and other slave traders of the slave merchants without any restrictions. Not only would the highest-ranking slave owners be threatened by the slaves, but other slave traders might also suffer heavy losses.

In short, whenever they tried to operate a slave trade across multiple cities, they would encounter all sorts of problems, the most important of which was the issue of slave loyalty.

Apart from a small number of hardworking and resilient demi-human slaves, the fact that some slaves betray their masters and run away is a problem that is completely unavoidable, even if it is a minority.

This is also because the slave owners had a relatively harmonious relationship and frequently exchanged experiences.

Since they all operate in each other's cities, and each city only has one major slave owner, there is no conflict of interest between them. On the contrary, they can learn from each other's business experience and occasionally carry out some cooperation.

If... he could improve the treatment of slaves, could he improve his own standing in their eyes?

Iman fell into deep thought.

He might not be able to provide the slaves with the luxurious lifestyle that young nobleman did, but if he could simply raise their treatment to two, three, or even five times that of their peers, it probably wouldn't be a problem.

After all, the cost of slaves is already low, so increasing their treatment by three to five times wouldn't have a significant impact on his costs.

But if this helps him expand his business empire and make the slave trade bigger and stronger, then this cost is insignificant!

"Hahaha, I understand!"

"That's it, that's right!"

Thinking of this, Iman trembled all over, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning, and was extremely excited.

He realized this might be an opportunity!

When everyone looks down on slaves and doesn't treat them as human beings, if he could pretend to treat slaves as human beings and give them better treatment, these slaves might be able to generate more revenue for him!

"Iman, what did you just say was wrong, and now you're saying it's right?"

The slave owners nearby looked at Iman, who was gesturing wildly, with suspicion.

Although Hader was expelled from the club, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with them, does it?

Moreover, Iman and Had used to have a good relationship, so why is he sometimes so lost and sometimes suddenly laughing out loud? Could he have gone mad too?

Thinking of this, the slave owners all took several steps back, distancing themselves from Iman.

If Iman were to go berserk, they wouldn't be able to handle it.

But Iman ignored the slave owners. He took a deep look at the departing figures of Mu Qiu and the others, as if he wanted to remember them forever, and then rushed out of the club.

As soon as I stepped out of the club, a mithril-level knight bodyguard came to greet me.

"Mr. Iman, shall we go to the brothel or...?"

"No, we won't go to any of these places!"

Under the astonished gaze of the knight's bodyguard, Iman tossed him three gold coins and said in a resolute tone, "Now, immediately, set off back to Black Serpent City! I have an important matter to attend to!"

……

By this time, Mu Qiu and Vera had already left the club.

"Master, let's go check out the Adventurers' Guild!"

Seeing that Mu Qiu seemed unsure of where to go next, Fiona suddenly made a suggestion.

"The riot in that dungeon hasn't been completely resolved yet. The Adventurers' Guild should have some related quests posted. If any high-ranking adventurers accept the quests, we can follow them and see what happens!"

Mu Qiu glanced at her.

Despite being a dragon-human, he seems quite concerned about the humans here, worried that if the lord of the dungeon riot isn't dealt with, more monsters will emerge to harm the local civilians.

However, speaking of quests within the Adventurers' Guild...

Thinking of this, Mu Qiu's mind stirred.

Yes, he can also post quests at the Adventurers' Guild!

For example... offering a huge reward in Vera's name for witches or dragons, wouldn't that be a clever way to lose money?

Thinking of this, Mu Qiu decisively nodded in agreement:

"it is good!"

"Then let's go to the Adventurers' Guild now!"

"By the way, Vera, did you collect any materials from those monsters? I think we can use those materials to increase our adventurer level..."

“Master, monster materials cannot prove that we killed the monsters unless we accepted the relevant quests in advance. Monster materials can only be sold for gold coins and cannot accumulate adventurer merits for us.”

Vera reached out and brushed her silver-white hair aside, saying softly, "Otherwise, those wealthy nobles could just raise their adventurer levels to the maximum, which would be too unfair to commoner adventurers, wouldn't it?"

"That's right..."

Mu Qiu was simply used to the fact that everything in this world could be solved with money.

When I first heard that there were so many things in the Adventurers' Guild that money couldn't buy, I was a little unaccustomed to it.

He remarked with emotion, "In that case, the person who founded the Adventurers' Guild was quite prescient."

Chapter 101 The succubus mark on the saintess has flared up again?!

"Yes."

Fiona crossed her arms and nodded in agreement: "I heard that the first president of the Adventurers' Guild was the apprentice of the first hero, right?"

Mu Qiu stroked his chin and said, "Isn't that the second-generation hero?"

"No, the first president of the Adventurers' Guild was not a hero."

Violet stretched out her slender white fingers and shook them, saying, "Although she was the disciple of the first hero, she did not receive the title of hero because she could not draw the holy sword."

"Only elves would use such an outdated saying, right?"

Fiona was clearly unconvinced, and she retorted, "The first president of the Adventurers' Guild was a hero second only to the original hero! He was also the hero who killed the Demon King instead of sealing him away!"

"Among all the heroes of the past, only the 93rd 'Martyr Hero' and the 137th 'Holy Remains Hero' can be compared to that person."

Martyr Hero? Holy Relic Hero?

Mu Qiu asked doubtfully, "Are they... very famous?"

"Master doesn't even know these two heroes?"

Fiona was quite surprised by Mu Qiu's reaction. Without thinking, she said, "Because the Hero and the Book of the Demon King are summoned once every hundred years, the mission of the summoned heroes is to protect this continent until the next generation of heroes is summoned."

Mu Qiu seemed to have thought of something, and frowned slightly: "What if we summon heroes or demon kings in succession..."

"Well, although the probability is very small, this has certainly happened in history."

Fiona's long, slender dragon tail swayed from side to side, occasionally slapping against Mu Qiu's calves: "For example, if several consecutive sessions summon heroes, then two or three generations of heroes will appear on this continent at the same time."

"Do heroes all have the same lifespan as humans?"

"No, their lifespan is even shorter than that of humans."

Vera suddenly spoke up: "It is said that heroes are all humans from other worlds. Because they are blessed by the world, they can live to be a hundred years old without illness or disaster, just like humans who live to be a hundred years old without illness or disaster."

"However, if it is a human professional, after becoming a legend, it is possible to find a way to graft bloodlines."

"While this isn't exactly a commendable approach, many legendary professionals do it to survive."

"Even for a legend, two hundred years is already the limit for human lifespan."

"Even if one becomes a saint, one can only live to be three hundred years old at most. Humans are such fragile creatures. If one wants to live longer, one must fundamentally change one's bloodline. The most common way is to bathe in dragon blood and come into contact with the World Tree."
