A coal boss.
Weren't they highly sought after outside the dungeon?
With several mining veins, Yu Pu could live a life of leisure in the dungeon for his entire life even if he decided to slack off from now on.
If Jiang Yaqing were to be with Yu Pu, wouldn't that be a strong alliance?
A 50 million introduction fee.
She was still unwilling?
Coinciding with the Qixi Festival, such a joyful holiday is perfect for dating. Even the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the magpie bridge, so why would Jiang Yaqing refuse the red thread offered by Chen Yu, the matchmaker?
Hiss!
Suddenly, Chen Yu's eyes widened.
It couldn't be that Jiang Yaqing had seen through his intentions. Chen Yu's plan was to push Yu Pu forward, earn a 50 million introduction fee, and then make Yu Pu reject her.
Delete friend.
Then, Chen Yu would collect another 50 million introduction fee as a matchmaker, and so on.
Get rich.
"Can Jiang Yaqing really be that smart?"
He muttered.
Chen Yu didn't think much further, he wasn't lacking the 50 million introduction fee anyway.
He clicked on the crafting page.
Leaning back in his chair, Chen Yu began to craft the magic cloak. With Jiang Yaqing providing Silver-tier experts, he wouldn't have to wait for the civilians in the camp to train.
The siege could commence.
Night fell.
Kailin, who had gone to the city-state to recruit, returned to the camp. When she left, it was just her and a few attendants, but when she returned, it was like an army of thousands.
A rough estimate put it at least a hundred beastmen.
"Camp Leader, I bought out all the return scrolls in the Terner city-state, and only managed to get 30,000."
Kailin tapped her bracelet.
Clang.
Five chests landed on the ground. Opening them revealed piles of return scrolls.
"This is enough," Chen Yu nodded slightly. Then, Kailin switched to another bracelet and placed a chest on the ground. "This is the crafting blueprint for the water condenser, a total of 200 copies."
"Okay."
"And these are the roasted chestnuts you requested." As Kailin took out the chestnuts, her expression became extremely strange. Then, she reached into her pocket and took out a small bag. "This chestnut, the merchant said it's your favorite."
"Huh?!"
Seeing Kailin's odd look, Chen Yu was stunned.
In an instant—
"Kailin, listen to me, there's been a misunderstanding!"
Without thinking, Chen Yu knew what kind of chestnuts Kailin had specially packaged.
Aphrodisiac.
He had forgotten to mention this. What he actually needed were the chestnuts that caused diarrhea. For someone as handsome, dashing, and elegant as himself, why would he need such a thing?
He wouldn't need anything else; as soon as he walked into a tavern.
The beastwomen would probably swarm towards him, desperately shoving small notes into his hands. Moreover, even if things were bad, couldn't Chen Yu, the dignified Camp Leader, resort to unspoken rules?
"Camp Leader, you don't need to explain to me."
Kailin's face flushed, and she nervously fiddled with her fingers, pursing her lips.
"I also asked for you. He said that the laxative chestnuts also have an effect on Golden-tier experts, just a slightly weaker effect. But, the small packet I just gave you, even a Golden-tier expert wouldn't be able to resist it. He said, feel free to hunt Golden-tier experts, but don't bother with Obsidian-tier."
"Kailin, I really..."
"It's okay, Kailin understands." Kailin pursed her lips and said, "It's just that, Camp Leader, you must take care of yourself and not be too indulgent."
"I..."
"Those newcomers are calling me, I'll go check on them."
With that, Kailin turned and ran outside. Chen Yu silently watched her figure disappear from his sight and looked down at the small bag in his hand.
"What is this all about?"
Chen Yu sighed.
If nothing unexpected happened, Kailin would definitely think of him as a pervert, and not a proper pervert, but one who secretly drugs people.
Fortunately—
He had received some good news.
The diarrhea chestnuts were also effective on Golden-tier experts.
If that were the case, the siege could be greatly expedited.
"Hey, what are you holding?"
Suddenly, a curious voice came from the side.
He turned his head.
It was Illya, staring at the small bag in Chen Yu's hand with a curious expression.
"Ah, this..." Chen Yu instinctively pulled his hand back, grinned, and deliberately changed the subject, "Where did you go all afternoon?"
"Sleeping."
Illya shrugged, then looked at the bag in Chen Yu's hand with a smile.
"Brother Chen Yu, what exactly are you holding? You're being so careful, can Illya have a look?"
Illya tilted her head, her eyes seeming to sparkle.
"Can Illya have a look?"
"Cough..."
Chen Yu couldn't help but cough.
Oh dear.
This is deadly!
These chestnuts had already caused Kailin to misunderstand, and now Illya popped up.
"Actually, it's not..." Chen Yu looked down at the bag in his hand, then shrugged. "It's just some snacks Kailin bought for me from the city-state."
"Oh!!!"
Unexpectedly, Illya's eyes widened, and she stuck out her finger.
"You're having a private snack, how can you do that?!" Illya said righteously, "No, I saw it, you have to share half of it with me."
"Huh?"
Chen Yu was dumbfounded.
Oh dear...
This isn't good, is it?
These chestnuts in his hand were not ordinary chestnuts.
"Share half with me." Illya extended her small hand, her face full of seriousness. "You wanted to sneak a bite and I caught you, so according to the rules, we have to share half. When I was in the palace, I was like this with my sisters. I don't think Brother Chen Yu would be so stingy."
"I..."
"Share half, share half, share half."
Illya said in a cute voice, clenching her two small fists and shaking them up and down in front of Chen Yu.
Honestly speaking,
If he really had snacks in his hand, Chen Yu would give them to her without hesitation. Who could resist such a cute girl?
The problem was—
"Illya, how about I get you a can to eat, okay?" Chen Yu said with a smile. "I'll give you Flame Fruit canned food."
"No."
Illya pouted and wrinkled her nose with a look of disdain.
"I'm a water element user, I don't want Flame Fruit~!"
"Strawberry canned food, apple canned food, blackberry canned food, we have all kinds of canned food here, and cheese..." Chen Yu said with a smile. "Do you think..."
"I, don't, want, it!"
Illya stood with her hands on her hips, pouting. Then, while Chen Yu wasn't paying attention, she quickly snatched the bag.
"Give it here."
Opening the bag, she found chestnuts fried with brown sugar.
"Wow, it's brown sugar roasted chestnuts, my favorite." Illya exclaimed with joy and popped one into her mouth.
Chen Yu watched her swallow the chestnut.
Gulp.
He couldn't help but swallow.
It's over, it's all over, this is terrible!
