Chapter 126: Chapter 108: Level Three Promotion! Water Elemental Turtle_l

The next day!

Just as Wang Shouzhe arrived quietly, he left just as quietly.

Besides Qian Xuean’s feelings, he didn’t leave a trace or ripple in Changning Guard City.

In addition, Wang Shouzhe took with him thirteen spirit stones that he had picked up for sixty Qian Gold. Putting aside the five given to Qian Xuean, he brought back an additional eight spirit stones.

You can’t deny it. Although Lici is a big eater, her ability to earn money is top­notch.

After a round in the gambling stone circle, she had recouped all her expenses and had a significant extra income. After all, one spirit stone could typically fetch a hundred Qian Gold.

It was just a pity that the gambling stone market in every city was too small.

After a round of harvest, the industry would inevitably go into a period of slump. It was estimated that it would take a while to recover.

Once the Liu and Zhao Clans were eliminated and the situation was safer, Wang Shouzhe decided to take Wang Licui around Longzuo County and the surrounding areas. They would visit each Guard City in turn to boost the family’s treasury.

The carriage rattled on for nearly two hours.

Upon stopping at a secret ferry, Sixth Uncle Wang Dinghai had already brought over a brand-new boat to greet them.

Everyone boarded the ship.

The new ship slowly sailed into the river. After the sails were spread out, they sailed against the wind and waves.

Old Ancestor Longyan and Lici were resting in the cabin.

Meanwhile, Wang Shouzhe was chatting with Sixth Uncle Wang Dinghai. He joked, “Sixth Uncle, you’ve been radiant recently, full of vigor. It seems you’re making good money.”

“That’s right,” Wang Dinghai laughed. “It’s all thanks to your kindness, Shouzhe. You’ve helped me improve the fishing methods. Over the past two or three months, our catch has grown tenfold compared to previous years, with profits soaring. And the family just happened to implement a merit points system. I’ve earned quite a few.”

“This month, I caught a rare spirit fish, a level two Gold Spiritual Carp. It’s a whopping eight feet long, round and robust, with golden scales all over its body. It’s very beautiful. When weighed, it’s nearly four hundred pounds.”

Wang Dinghai was incredibly excited as he said, “You should know, Gold Spiritual Carp has a bit of dragon bloodline and is worth more than other spirit fish.”

Congratulations, Sixth Uncle,” Wang Shouzhe laughed. “What about the fishing fleets of the Liu and Zhao Clans?”

They have been dwindling for a while, not showing much enthusiasm,” Wang Dinghai said, “Especially over the past half-month, their fleet hasn’t been active. It seems that our Wang family has suppressed them, and their morale is gone.”

Wang Dinghai didn’t know that his old rivals, Liu Yongzhou and Zhao Dingtian, were already dead at the hands of Wang Shouzhe.

Nor did he know that his father, Wang Xiaohan, had been promoted to the rank of Old Ancestor Xiaohan.

Has Sixth Uncle taken the opportunity to expand his territory?” Wang Shouzhe asked.

Wang Dinghai laughed heartedly, “Your Sixth Uncle is not foolish, since our Wang family is powerful, naturally, we should suppress them. Have you not seen the recent family account book? I’ve purchased more than twenty fishing boats, hired over a hundred people from the families and locals, and have already taken over more than a hundred miles of the river! Regardless of the harvest, grabbing territory is the first thing.”

Wang Shouzhe, as the lord, wouldn’t be staring at the account book every day. Whether it was Sixth Uncle who was in charge of the fishing industry, or his second brother Wang Shouyi who was in charge of the fish stalls, they were both mature adults.

He could offer advice at crucial times, but it was unnecessary to supervise them about their development all the time. It would also foster dependence and subdue their initiative.

Sixth Uncle Wang Dinghai did extremely well in this aspect. He showed no mercy when it was time to expand, nor did he back down when it was time to seize territory. Now that the Liu and Zhao Clans are declining, it is the best time to expand the family business.

As they say, the history books are written by the victors, and territories are fought for.

After ten or twenty years, who will remember that these waters once belonged to the Liu and Zhao Clans? Travelers and locals will default to considering it as the Wang family’s fishing territory.

“Shouzhe, the drag net technology you brought up is also superb. At present, we have two fishing boats, jointly using one small drag net. With one net, we have a full load of fish,” Wang Dinghai could not stop grinning when he thought of the loads of caught fish, “If it weren’t for the Old Ancestor accompanying you, I’d take you to see it, the scene is magnificent…”

Just then.

Suddenly!

A small boat raced over from a distance. On the bow of the boat, a young man was jumping up and down, yelling, “Sea Lord, Sea Lord, there’s been a big problem. That aquatic beast has caused trouble again, it broke our trawl net.”

Wang Shouzhe recognized the young man. He was called Wang Goudan, a branch member of the Wang family, who had been with Sixth Uncle Wang Dinghai since he was young.

“What?”

The smile on Wang Dinghai’s face froze, “That damn thing, I thought it was just passing through.”

“Sixth Uncle, what happened?” Wang Shouzhe asked.

Wang Dinghai’s face turned solemn. “About three days ago, one of our fixed beam trawlers caught a level three Fierce Beast called Jiaolong while pulling up the net at night. The beast easily broke free from the net. As per the rules, the boatmen abandoned the net and fled, so no one was hurt.”

“A level three Jiaolong? Has it appeared before?” Wang Shouzhe immediately pulled up the memory of this beast from the Beast Atlas.

The beast looked somewhat like the crocodiles on Earth.
