Chapter 427 - 427: The Incident with Mount Tragic

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Bai was originally reclining in a relaxed posture, enjoying the nuts, and at the same time, watching Murong Xue and Lu Le’s training.

Su Bai had thought of becoming a lenient leader, but the circumstances didn’t permit. He suddenly realized that there were only four Beastmasters among them, including Su Bai.

That meant that Su Bai and his group could only take up to four jobs at the same time and those four jobs could only be tasks within their capabilities.

Of course, Su Bai didn’t mind. He could choose the jobs he wanted to do and that paid well. But it was different for the other three. Even if their strength was up to par, the clients might not choose them. Having only one task was somewhat difficult.

Su Bai gritted his teeth and decided to be more demanding. He even set training times for them. He said, “Train up, you must aim for Diamond level!”

That slogan sounded like playing a game daily to reach the top rank. But Su Bai could make them improve. While Su Bai was enjoying his nuts and observing them, a message from the village chief arrived.

Su Bai opened it and was very surprised, not by the content, but by the fact that it was so lengthy that it could have been turned into a short story of about ten thousand words.

Su Bai rubbed his eyes, sat up, and began to read word by word.

After carefully reading it, Su Bai realized that the previous Beastmaster

Association wanted to secure Mount Tragic as a good training ground for their Beasts. However, Mount Tragic had always relied on selling medicinal herbs to make a living. Once those herbs were destroyed and handed over entirely to the Beasts or Monsters, the medicinal herbs there might not belong to them

anymore.

Normally, it would be easy to secure the entire mountain—just provide the villagers with enough living expenses and new skills so they could survive. But the money they offered was akin to throwing scraps to beggars.

Mount Tragic had been developing quite well before. However, since the new president of the Beastmaster Association took office, it was as if they no longer understood and acted independently.

The Beastmaster Association kept trying to take control of Mount Tragic because the atmosphere of Mount Tragic was indeed suitable for Beasts to live in. But there was no agreement reached between the two parties.

Mysterious Beasts appeared and the villagers of Mount Tragic managed to deal with them at first, but the number of Beasts gradually increased. So, the villagers had to seek help from the bounty list.

The money on the bounty list wasn’t insignificant, and during this time, the villagers had invested all their money to drive the monsters away. It could be said that after they dealt with fifty of them, another hundred would appear next time. They spent 100,000 coins this time, but they would have to spend 200,000 coins next time.

When those Beasts attacked the village, the villagers couldn’t go up the mountain to collect herbs, and therefore, they couldn’t sell them either.

When the villagers sought help from the governor of Seadaemon City, the governor said they needed the assistance of the Beastmaster Association. But the Beastmaster Association didn’t come; instead, a strange organization showed up.

That strange organization claimed they could help drive away the Beasts for free, with the only condition being that the villagers mustn’t tell the Beastmaster Association.

At first, the villagers didn’t really believe it, but the organization kept coming back several times.

First, the organization came to negotiate. Then, they went up the mountain to remove herbs. After that, they brought the monsters into the village and fought with the villagers directly.

When the fourth and fifth visits came back and forth, the villagers finally understood. The new president of the Beastmaster Association was retaliating against them.

The villagers had reported this matter to the governor. Later, they developed

an irreconcilable conflict with the Beastmaster Association, and they started to lose faith in anyone, especially the Beastmaster Association.

As for the governor of Seadaemon City, he initially wanted to help Mount Tragic, but the new president said something to him. Thus, the governor gave up on Mount Tragic.

After reading the message, Su Bai sighed deeply. He was astounded, as he continuously clicked his tongue and thought, ‘How could such a thing happen in such a small village? I never thought my first job would be so tumultuous.’

Although the village chief only described the relationship between the village, the association, the military, and the city in a lengthy manner, Su Bai now understood what the village chief wanted to say.

Su Bai directly replied to the village chief, [Rest assured, the people responsible this time are not the same as those from the previous Beastmaster

Association. Moreover, I have reached an agreement with the Beastmaster Association to protect the village, and the weapons we produce will be directly given to you. If you’re not at ease, I can negotiate and have my people deliver the weapons directly to you.]

After sending the message, Su Bai looked up at his computer. He was surprised to see that so many orders had come in after he had just handled the matter of Mount Tragic for a while.

Some of these orders were for finding individuals, and the time was not limited, but the requirement was that no down payment would be given, and payment would be made directly upon completion. These were mainly from the businesses and families Su Bai had contacted before, all wanting to collaborate with him.

But Su Bai had already scheduled the orders for three months ahead. Some businesses couldn’t wait that long, but some families could. So now, Su Bai couldn’t help but doubt whether their speed of contact was too fast.

After all, Su Bai was just a small base; even on his official page, he wrote that he only had a few fresh graduates or students who hadn’t even graduated yet.

After accepting the orders, Su Bai ruthlessly handed the blueprints in front of him to the three busy people. That made Su Bai feel a bit embarrassed and felt like he was a ruthless boss.

“You guys finished your jobs on hand first; I’ll help you when I’m free.”

Su Bai still had other matters to attend to.

Yan Xuan stared blankly at the several pages of blueprints and asked, “Why are there suddenly so many?”

‘From the time we were unbanned until now, not even half a day had passed. Are they trying to exhaust us?’ Yan Xuan thought.

Su Bai turned his head, feeling a bit guilty. He said, “It does seem like a lot all of a sudden, but don’t worry, I’ll help you guys.”

Su Bai would help them to build more robots. At least they wouldn’t have to do all those tedious, repetitive tasks. Of course, Su Bai didn’t directly say the latter part. He still wanted to leave some room for his companions.

Otherwise, if Yan Xuan and Olive really thought Su Bai was a mad boss, that would be troublesome.

At the moment when Su Bai was pondering, his mobile phone lit up. The one who replied to him was the village chief.

The village chief sounded a bit embarrassed. The message from him was, [Su Bai, could you bring the people responsible for the Beastmaster Association over and explain the situation in person? The villagers don’t trust anyone they haven’t seen before.]

Su Bai instantly understood. This was to prevent someone responsible from being swapped along the way. However, he couldn’t understand how much harm the villagers suffered to be so cautious..
