Under everyone's gaze, Brother Assist calmly walked over to the corner of the room and picked out ten bags of the red 10,000 gold coin pouches, which totaled up to 100,000 gold, as everyone salivated at the prospect. And with that, Southern Lone Blade, Young Master Han, Sword Demon, and Blackwater were the next to complete their own tasks they were allocated respectively. Originally, these men had thought they would be done with this after they finished their own lot, yet everyone was ultimately not heartless enough to turn a blind eye to the deathly look War Without Wounds was showing as he slowly got through his pile of letters, so they all pitched in to help the man out.

Many hands make light work; thus all the replies were completed after another three hours of hard work. When the last quill was laid down, everyone was already collapsed on the floor, each looking absolutely hideous, grinding their teeth as they cursed this task.

”The printing press was truly a noble invention!” Everybody heard War Without Wounds make that comment out loud.

”Alright. Now that everything is done, let's all gather the letters and prepare to send them all out,” Brother Assist yelled.

It was apparent that the frequency of doing this particular labour gave them all plenty of experience, and all sorts of tricks and methods appeared at this time. Take the strong War Without Wounds and Southern Lone Blade for example; both men created a makeshift pole and tied a sack of letters on either end, hauling it over one shoulder as his free hand grabbed a sack, so now they could each carry three sacks in a single trip. Those without Strength like Flame Singed Clothes and the others had it rough since the three sacks of letters they each had meant they would have to make many trips to get it all done. This was when Young Master Han pushed open the door and waved his hand out to the players passing by outside, ”Looking to hire movers. 10 gold coins a single trip. Those with Strength may come forward.”

Many players stepped forward almost instantaneously. Everyone's eyes shone as they ran to the doorway and picked their men. It was mostly newbies that were interested in doing menial labor for 10 gold coins, and they were all afraid these people would run off after picking up their sacks, so they gave these workers 5 gold coins upfront first. These newbies were elated, picking up the burlap sacks and followed behind Gu Fei and the rest, who were all looking refreshed as they led the way, pointing and laughing at War Without Wounds and Southern Lone Blade, who had to personally do the work themselves.

The task of sending the letters was much easier in comparison, as all the system required was the IGN for the recipients and it would be sent accordingly. Everyone had already filled this in when they were writing out the replies in the first place, so all they needed to do now was grab the letters by the handful and dump them all into the mailbox. Once they close up the mailbox, there would not be any delay as the system sent it all to the respective recipient instantly. As for the sender's IGN, the system would just designate it to be whomever tossed it into the mailbox, so only Gu Fei, the current point of contact, and Brother Assist, the promoter, were the two who did the sending. All the others did was stuff the letters into the hands of these two men, or were specifically holding up the cover of the mailbox, or just keeping watch to ensure no letter was accidentally lost in the process. Working with one another, each picking different roles, they managed to finish this bit of work in just under 1 hour.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they all felt a wave of ease wash over them. Yet this was exactly the moment when Brother Assist said something a little unpleasant, ”Don't lose the burlap sacks. Keep it, since we're gonna be using them in two days time!” Just saying that sentence alone, Brother Assist almost found himself dead on the street.

”Stop hitting me, let's quickly head back and split our earnings!” Brother Assist yelled out in an effort to divert everyone's attention. All the gold coins they collected was still sitting in their office right now! That was the big function that a private property possessed: It could be used for storage. However, using it for storage meant the owner will have to calculate the volume themselves, and unlike the Warehouse the system provided, or a player's dimensional pocket, the usage of its space was versatile.

At the end of the day, the splitting of earnings was something that those involved were very enthused for, so everyone quickly made their way back to the office. Minus the 100,000 gold coins Brother Assist had taken, there was still 4,000,000 gold coins left with several thousands to spare. However, the people had their sights set significantly higher than before. The thousands of gold coins was nothing but chump change to them now!

So how were they going to split the profits? They had already discussed this matter previously, but none of them knew what to expect, so they decided to postpone it till after they collected everything. Now that the time has come, they will finally have to make a decision. It was a very sensitive question: Both parties have 14 men together and could be split into two separate groups. Young Master's Elite and Eternal Dominion could be considered as one stake, and Southern Lone Blade and his team as another. How the seven of them would end up splitting their share would thus be up to themselves.

From the very beginning, Southern Lone Blade had always seen Gu Fei as the boss, so his gaze was precisely set on Gu Fei at this time, wondering what he would say. In the end, Gu Fei was preoccupied with something else entirely at the moment. His thoughts were preoccupied with how things cannot continue at this rate, seeing as he had already spent two consecutive nights pulling all-nighters for this business!

Seeing no one saying a word at this crucial point, it was Young Master Han who ended up starting the conversation, ”What, none of you have any ideas? Shall I speak since none of you have any clue?”

”Go ahead,” War Without Wounds and the others hurriedly relented. Who would dare to raise any suggestions in front of someone like Young Master Han?

”We've all been working hard, but everyone here has seen just how lucrative our profit is. 4,000,000 gold coins; I doubt anyone here has ever come across such a huge sum, right? With such an abundant remuneration, I believe everyone would not care to nitpick over who did more work and who did less, nor would they mind how significant their contribution was,” Young Master Han said.

Everyone understood what he was insinuating. Take for example, how much effort Brother Assist had expended on promoting this round, while the names of Sword Demon and the others had used their names and reputation as a valued endorsement, drawing plenty of attention to the business. At the same time, the entire operation had essentially been Young Master Han's plan, and it was Southern Lone Blade's team that had privately done plenty of painstakingly meticulous work; it would be very troublesome if they were to compare these different tasks and assign a hard value against it. What Young Master Han meant was that, since there was so much money involved, and the fraction anyone would get from this would not be a sum they would usually see, there should not be any need for everyone to quibble over their portion.

”Of course, Miles and Dominion are the exceptions,” Young Master Han added.

Everyone nodded their head. That much was certain. They had already discussed this before; given how the two men were the source of the entire business, this made them the 'evil' capitalists holding all the cards.

”Aside from them, there's a total of 12 of us here. 250,000 gold coins each would make it 3,000,000. We'll leave the rest for the two men to split between themselves. Anyone have any objections?” Young Master Han asked.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

”Nope,” Everybody shook their heads. Taking away 3,000,000 gold coins from the 4,000,000 gold coins would leave 1,000,000 gold coins, making an even split of 500,000 gold coins each between Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion. It was twice as much as what each of them got, which everybody found acceptable.

Thus, Young Master Han turned to gaze at the two men, ”And the both of you?”

”We're fine with this arrangement,” Gu Fei said, while Eternal Dominion nodded to show his approval as well.

”Time to take your money then!” Young Master Han waved his arms grandly, yet the scene where everyone hungrily pounced upon the gold did not occur. The money was as good in their own pockets by now, so it was not like anyone would be able to get more gold doing something like that, so why would anyone be in a hurry? Everyone carried themselves graciously as they took turns to step up one by one, picking out the amount they had each been allocated with without much of a fuss.

However, Brother Assist was scratching his head by the side at this time, sheepishly saying, ”By the looks of our profit split, it seems like the 100,000 gold coin reward I got just now was a little too much…”

Each of them got 250,000 gold coins, but Brother Assist ended up having 100,000 more than the rest because he was quicker than anyone else when it came to writing letters by several minutes. He could not help but feel a little uneasy, especially since he was the one who came up with the idea in the first place.

”Just take it!” Young Master Han said, completely unperturbed. ”The reward system should stay. It helps encourage everyone. But perhaps we don't have it for something as nonsensical as that.”

”Then where should the reward go to?” Everyone pricked their ears to inquire about this. Writing happened to be Brother Assist's strong suit this time around, so everyone was eager to hear which task would the next reward be placed in, so they could all practice beforehand.

Young Master Han swept his gaze through the crowd and asked, ”Drinking, perhaps?”

”SCRAM!” The lot of them turned away.

Once each of them finished collected their 250,000 gold coins respectively, the remaining gold coins were left to be split between the two capitalists. Gu Fei casually strolled over and took a few bags, before nudging the remaining bags over to Eternal Dominion and said, ”The rest is for you!”

”How can that be, you've done much more than me!” Eternal Dominion was very sincere.

”It's not like I'm short on money,” Gu Fei shrugged.
