509 Why Are You Here!? (2/2)

Zhuo Yifan wasn't alone. He, Kong Dao and Zhao Yameng seemed to have had a discussion. They accepted a mission at the same time and used what little battle credit they had to rent a Spirit Boat.

Wang Baole was extremely touched at their gesture. He didn't take their battle credits and lent them all three Spirit Boats. The trio soon steered the boats, placing their complete faith in Wang Baole, and entered the Sea of Fire!

This was the first time in a very long time that a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator entered the Sea of Fire. No one went around spreading the news. However, it still caught some people's attention. A Core Formation realm cultivator even followed them secretly and monitored their actions closely. To prevent any accidents from happening, Wang Baole ended his seclusion and entered the Sea of Fire to provide protection.

It was their first time entering the Sea of Fire, and they didn't come back with much. However, they didn't give up. They continued to use the Spirit Boat and enter the sea almost every day. Gradually, this caught the attention of more and more people. It even triggered a rousing discussion amongst the cultivators in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.

Finally, under the trio's joint efforts, they managed to capture an Inferno Rat. News of this shocked many in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. There was finally one Foundation Establishment realm cultivator from the Vast Expanse Dao Palace who was willing to try out the Spirit Boat.

He had been left with no choice. He needed to acquire a cultivation technique but lacked the battle credits. He decided to bite the bullet and rented Wang Baole's Spirit Boat, entering the Sea of Fire.

With the first transaction going down without any accidents, a second customer and then a third soon appeared… Zhuo Yifan and the others gave up on entering the sea then. Their strategy for acquiring battle credits didn't involve entering the sea. They had done what they had done to lend Wang Baole a helping hand.

They were, after all, cultivators from the Federation. They were outsiders here. They might still be able to guarantee their safety above the sea, but once they went into the sea, there was no guarantee of everything going smoothly for them. They wouldn't be able to avoid conflict with others. Should that happen, with their level of cultivation and their status, they would be faced with great danger.

Besides, with their joint efforts, they had reaped considerable rewards. Each of them had earned thirty to fifty battle credits separately. This was a significant gain for a Federation Seedling.

Their withdrawal didn't affect the rental business. With more cultivators from the Vast Expanse Dao Palace renting the Spirit Boats, the business' reputation and credibility grew. Those who had been tempted finally acted on it. Zhou Biao and gang saw what was happening. After discussion, they gritted their teeth and began to promote the business more seriously.

Wang Baole found the fat cultivator. After promising him a sweet deal, the fat cultivator began promoting Wang Baole's Spirit Boats as well. With multiple parties working together, demands gradually grew, and business boomed. Two weeks later, the number of people waiting for a Spirit Boat outside Wang Baole's Green Fire Island grew. With only three Spirit Boats, supply couldn't meet demand.

Every day, like clockwork, thirty-six battle credits entered his account. Foundation Establishment realm cultivators continued to enter the sea and earn loads of battle credits for completing their missions. The rental business boomed. Many even proposed buying his business. Wang Baole turned them all down after some thought. Because of his booming business, the fat cultivator—whom he had pawned Dharmic Armaments off to in the past—found Wang Baole and proposed investing two thousand battle credits in his business in exchange for two-tenths of all profits earned.

After some bargaining, he increased his investment to two thousand and five hundred battle credits in exchange for fifteen percent of the profit margin. They reached an agreement. More than two thousand battle credits were credited to Wang Baole's account. Wang Baole excitedly invested what battle credits he had to refine Spirit Boats. He spent everything he had and expanded his fleet to ten Spirit Boats!

That finally allowed him to meet the demands of the market. His revenue increased by four times. He was earning nearly a hundred and twenty battle credits every day!

After giving the fat cultivator his fifteen percent, the remaining battle credits were still enough to make Wang Baole extremely happy. More than a hundred battle credits entered his account every day. He soon built a strong reputation for himself in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.

Li Yi stopped talking in the chat group as well. She no longer bragged about her battle credits. Wang Baole's rental business continued for two weeks. Then, one day… as Wang Baole was happily training, someone arrived outside his cave abode!

It was someone who sent Wang Baole reeling back in shock, who made his scalp prick and made him gasp in shock!

”You… why are you here? Are you a human, or a ghost?”
