Chapter 433: The System of Shanhai Pavilion
Even if it is a strong permanent mercenary team, they often suffer casualties when facing powerful monsters. There will also be competition between different permanent mercenary teams, so there will often be casualties.
Strictly speaking, the mercenary team is actually a hunting team in an alternative sense, but it only gives them a complete system, which makes them subject to certain restrictions and also allows them to gain more benefits.
Zhou Daocheng nodded slightly. After just a few glances, he found that the order of Shanhai Pavilion was better than he thought, which was enough to show that under Yuan Zhong's management, Shanhai Pavilion had enough control over these casual cultivators.
After all, any casual cultivator who came to Wugufang City and wanted to survive here could not do without the system of Shanhai Pavilion!
If you want to jump out of Shanhai Pavilion and return to the previous hunting team mode, you will find that you are at a dead end and there is no possibility of survival.
Especially in terms of making money spirit stones, almost all roads are blocked by Shanhai Pavilion.
Even the permanent mercenary teams will form alliances with each other to safeguard their own interests and exclude strong people outside the system.
The system of Shanhai Pavilion has become more and more perfect, and Zhou Daocheng does not need to worry too much.
More importantly, Shanhai Pavilion is completely tied to Wugu Market. Only when Wugu Market develops better and better and has a larger number of monks, can Shanhai Pavilion continue to have nutrients to grow.
Once Wugu Market collapses, the prosperous scene of Shanhai Pavilion will completely dissipate and return to its original form.
Therefore, Zhou Daocheng does not have to worry about Shanhai Pavilion bringing a bad impact on the market.
Finally, Zhou Daocheng entered the third underground floor with a good mood.
However, as soon as he entered it, Zhou Daocheng frowned completely. The situation here was more serious than he imagined.
The third underground floor is directly leased or sold land. After purchasing, various forces can build shops on it, and the official Wugu Market will hardly participate too much in the operation of the shops.
Therefore, any shop can be operated here!
Therefore, Zhou Daocheng looked around, and the three most eye-catching shops were slave markets, casinos, and brothels.
In front of the attic with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, there stood a charming woman, wearing a light gauze dress, with a lot of skin exposed. The fragrant aroma spread dozens of meters away, and the surrounding was shrouded in a charming and seductive atmosphere.
From the inside of the attic, the screams and cries of the woman, as well as the evil laughter of the man, could also be heard.
Zhou Daocheng frowned. He didn't think that all the women in the brothel were willing to do business. There must be many who were forced to buy or bought from the slave market.
However, he just frowned and didn't care much. As mentioned before, everything has both sides. There is the bright and beautiful Wugu Market on the surface, and there must be a damp and dark underground world.
At least for now, this dark world is in his own hands and has not spread to other places.
It is bright and dark, perhaps a safer phenomenon, which just avoids the Wugu Market on the surface from being affected by these dark things.
There are also a large number of slave markets here, of course, the largest one is controlled by Zhou Daocheng himself.
The importance of the slave market is self-evident. Slaves with spiritual roots appear every day, which is a very important resource!
Indeed, to a certain extent, cultivators themselves are a very precious resource!
Almost every once in a while, the slave market run by Zhou Daocheng will send out a batch of slaves with high potential.
Among them, those with higher cultivation talents will be sent directly to the training area of the hunting team and the guard team to enhance the combat power of the Wugufang City.
There are also some with lower talents, who will be sent to the store to do odd jobs, or be responsible for taking care of spiritual medicines and spiritual beasts.
The Zhou family has a small population, and it is thanks to these slaves that they can develop such a large family business.
Including Wei Hanshan, his daily work is extremely busy, and there are many things that he does not need to deal with personally, and he is simply too busy, so he will also train some casual cultivators as helpers.
Of course, in addition to these formal uses, there is also a dark side in the slave market.
For example, some young and beautiful women are the most popular type of slaves in the slave market. Whether they are sold to strong people with special fetishes or to brothels, they can get a lot of benefits.
In addition, slaves have another extremely important role, which is linked to another black industry here, that is, casinos!
The casinos here can be divided into two categories. One is the gambling method of mortals, that is, ordinary dice, cards and other games.
However, there is another more common and more popular gambling method here-the gambling arena.
It can also be called the Colosseum.
At the beginning, the gambling arena was only called the Colosseum. Usually, some first-level monsters were captured and put into the ring for fighting.
The monks can choose a monster to bet on. If the monster wins, they can get spirit stones, which is also a way of gambling.
However, with continuous development, the fight is no longer limited to monsters, but begins to involve monks, and the Colosseum is officially changed to a gambling arena.
The gambling fights of human monks are far more exciting than those of monsters, and the benefits and spirit stones brought are far beyond imagination, becoming the main body of the casino here.
Many forces will buy potential slaves to fight alone in the gambling arena to obtain huge spirit stones.
But there is no doubt that every gambling fight is extremely dangerous, a real life-and-death duel, and one will die in it if he is not careful.
Although there are some extremely powerful cultivators who will enter it to experience it, in most cases, slaves are sent to fight in it.
Zhou Daocheng fell into deep contemplation about this form of gambling fight.
For many families or independent cultivators, it takes a lot of pressure to make their way in the world of immortal cultivation, and perhaps these ways of their own are indeed needed to relieve it.
But in this kind of gambling fight, Zhou Daocheng saw not only excitement and spirit stones, but also some deeper benefits.
After Zhou Daocheng pondered for a moment, he directly used the communication stone to contact Wei Hanshan and asked him to come over.
Almost only a few minutes later, Wei Hanshan hurried over.
Zhou Daocheng asked straight to the point: "Old Wei, do we have our own team in the gambling arena?"
Wei Hanshan was stunned when he heard this, and said: "Although we run a slave market, we have never participated in gambling."
"Why?"
After a moment of silence, Wei Hanshan said: "Gambling consumes a lot of force, and the spiritual stones gained are not that much. For us, it is not an industry worth investing in, so we don't pay much attention to it."
