Chapter 458 - Chapter 458 Communicating with the Outside World (2/2)

“Today, I’m taking charge, and all the goods will be evenly distributed to everyone. Any trouble, I’ll take the blame.”

The crowd instantly became excited, yet they didn’t rush the stage. Instead, they lined up orderly, waiting to receive the goods.

Liu Zhongxiang hurried over from not far away.

He had witnessed Chen Yu’s methods.

Exchanging gold for rice wasn’t against the rules; it was merely a fair trade.

Distributing the rice to the villagers was an act of charity, also a test from Heavenly Master Long Tian.

This might have been the optimal solution.

When he originally came down the mountain, he saw only the suffering of the human world but lacked any concrete solutions.

Simply giving money to these people, after running out of all his possessions, he started making fake paintings to sell.

In the long run, he became deeper and deeper entrenched, his body ending up in the state it was now.

Chen Yu was different; he chose to act as an intermediary between the villagers and the outside world, negotiating directly with outsiders.

Perhaps from now on, the villagers’ items would be sold through him, and he would bring them a wealth of goods at fair market prices.

Liu Zhongxiang sighed deeply. In the beginning, he was different from the villagers and didn’t suffer from the town’s karma, free to come and go.

He could have used the same method, but unfortunately, he did not. Instead, he became one of the town’s natives and could no longer leave.

The goods brought by the two merchants were not abundant and were soon completely distributed.

Chen Yu picked them up and stuffed the gold stick back into their hands.

“The goods I took were bought through the proper channels, so don’t say I robbed you!”

After saying this with a hint of sarcasm, Chen Yu drove them out of the town.

The villagers instantly became ecstatic and began to worship Chen Yu as if he were a deity.

Chen Yu couldn’t bear such adulation, so he didn’t linger and followed the two merchants out of town.

The town lay at the foot of Tianhu Mountain, surrounded by endless mountains.

Not a single decent-sized city could be seen within a hundred miles.

Chen Yu had come all the way here sleeping, so he wasn’t very familiar with the surrounding terrain.

Moreover, after arriving, due to the limiting magnetic field of the area, his scanning system couldn’t cover such a wide distance, and he couldn’t find a way out.

Now, with two out-of-towners present, how could he let such an opportunity slip by?

The two merchants, scared as well, got into their car as soon as they left the town and hurried to leave.

But as they got into the car, Chen Yu suddenly teleported into it.

“Gentlemen, since you’re here, don’t rush off. I have many things to ask you. Moreover, the town needs more goods, so I’ll trouble you with that.”

The two merchants were on the verge of tears. The fear that Chen Yu had instilled in them when he brought them to the ground was still tormenting them.

Now, with Chen Yu sitting beside them, anyone would be afraid.

“Big brother, we’re just decent merchants picking up a little slack here. You wouldn’t kill us over this, right?”

Chen Yu patted their shoulders.

“Don’t worry. As long as you obediently follow my orders from now on, I won’t harm you. In fact, I’ll make sure you make a fortune.”
