Carrying a fortune.
Chen Yu's nouveau riche aura exploded.
Money?
Just numbers.
To him, money wasn't money at all. To put it nobly, it was dirt, or to put it crudely…
No!
Possessing noble sentiments, how could he be vulgar?
“Take it and spend it.”
Pointing to the chest of gold coins on the ground, Chen Yu had the air of someone who would pay for all expenses.
Kailin was stunned.
Was the person before her really her camp leader?
Had she not been soul-stripped?
“I…” Kailin moved her lips, pondered for a moment, then put the chest of gold coins into her spatial bracelet. With a serious expression, she said, “Please rest assured, Camp Leader. I will definitely use all these gold coins for the construction of the camp.”
Chen Yu merely raised his hand, not paying much attention to the matter.
“It’s okay to be a little greedy,” Chen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes filled with meaning. “You hold a high position and great power in our camp, controlling the fiscal authority. If you don’t take a little from such a lucrative position, I would feel ashamed. Rest assured, I, your Camp Leader, am very enlightened.”
“Camp Leader!”
Unexpectedly, Kailin's expression was full of earnest conviction.
“Please rest assured, I will absolutely not embezzle a single copper coin for camp construction. All the expenses for the gold coins you give me will be recorded and submitted to you for personal review.”
“Look at you, you’re being a bit too serious,” Chen Yu chuckled.
“Camp Leader!”
Kailin’s expression seemed to hold a hint of anger. Seeing her small furrowed brow, Chen Yu sighed and nodded.
“Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore.”
With that, Chen Yu raised his eyebrows at Kailin.
“You go busy yourself too~”
With respect in her eyes, Kailin silently departed from Chen Yu.
Only after she left did Chen Yu deeply exhale.
“Tsk, still quite stubborn.”
“Boss, weren’t you testing her just now?” Black Bean asked blankly. He had thought Chen Yu was using this method to hint to Kailin, to stop her from having any crooked thoughts about the gold coins.
But, judging by Chen Yu’s expression, that didn’t seem to be the case.
“Huh?!”
Chen Yu was surprised.
Testing?
“Why would I test her, I’m bored,” Chen Yu said speechlessly. Black Bean’s surprise intensified upon hearing this. “Then, you really want her to embezzle.”
Hearing this, Chen Yu’s face immediately showed displeasure.
“How can this be called embezzlement?”
“Little Bean~”
“Have you ever heard that ‘If the water is too clear, there will be no fish’?”
“Kailin works so hard for our camp, what’s the big deal if she takes some money.”
“Your perspective needs to be broad!”
Chen Yu spread his arms, his voice serious.
“This kind of thing, ultimately, cannot be avoided. As long as she takes money within a certain limit, it’s actually acceptable.”
Black Bean: (⊙﹏⊙)
What kind of logic is this?
Embezzlement and bribery are indeed inevitable, but it’s the first time he’s encountered a leader actively asking their subordinate to embezzle.
“See, I can tell from your eyes that you don’t understand,” Chen Yu said softly, noticing Black Bean’s expression. “Let me tell you, there’s a lot of wisdom in this. You, you’re still too young.”
“I… indeed do not understand.”
“Then let me give you a little hint. Do you know that extremes lead to reversals?”
With this, Chen Yu did not dwell on the topic further.
Words shouldn’t be spoken too clearly.
If you understand, you understand.
If you really can’t understand, then Chen Yu can’t help it.
Sipping his iced water.
Chen Yu began to tally his winnings from the auction.
Legendary blueprints.
Camp upgrade guides.
With these resources, Chen Yu’s camp could finally advance further.
He absolutely lacked no other resources.
His finger lightly tapped.
【Underground Reminder: Rare-grade camp is upgrading, remaining time 23:59:59】
Receiving the reminder, Chen Yu’s face showed a smile.
The main camp could finally upgrade again.
Once the upgrade was successful, his other camp facilities and sub-camps would also be able to upgrade again, and the camp territory would also be greatly expanded.
It’s just—
He had too many camp upgrade guides in stock. It was a bit difficult to consume them all on his own. He was considering cashing them out again.
To obtain greater profits.
Calculating the gold coins converted into resource points, 5000 upgrade guides cost 40,000 gold coins. 80 gold coins were equivalent to 8 million resource points.
Chen Yu was certain.
There must be many foreigners currently stuck at the rare camp. It wasn’t that Chen Yu was arrogant enough to think he was the only one who had entered the Underground City-State.
The problem was, even if they entered the city-state, they might not be able to afford the upgrade guide.
The black market guide sold for 200 gold coins.
20 million resource points.
Could they afford it?
Those who could enter the city-state might not have these resources, and those who had these resources might not necessarily enter the city-state. Camp leaders of rare-grade camps who could not upgrade further would definitely be anxious.
At this time, if Chen Yu released the guides.
Selling them for 50 million.
It shouldn’t be too high, right?
During this time, Black Bean had been pondering Chen Yu’s words.
“Boss!”
Suddenly, Black Bean, who had been squatting on the ground lost in thought, looked up sharply, his eyes wide.
Chen Yu, who was smiling and contemplating how to sell the guides, was startled by Black Bean’s sudden exclamation.
“What are you doing, startling me like that!”
“I understand,” Black Bean said with wide eyes and a serious expression. “I understand your purpose for doing that just now. I’ve figured it out!!!”
This little Black Bean was indeed quite slow to realize.
So much time had passed.
He was still studying the matter of corruption.
“Boss, listen to me, tell me if I’m right,” Black Bean said earnestly. “People all have a rebellious streak. If you keep a close eye on their corruption, it might make them anxious and afraid, preventing them from acting rashly. But the more you restrict them, the stronger their desires will become.”
“Oh? Continue!”
Hearing Chen Yu’s words, Black Bean became even more animated as if receiving approval.
“When their desires become uncontrollable, once they embezzle, they will be beyond redemption. On the contrary, if you proactively mention it to them, and it’s a tacit understanding, even if they do embezzle, they will set their own limits and not embezzle too much.”
“Furthermore, they might also be wary of your words, and be hesitant when they embezzle.”
“Am I right?!”
Black Bean looked up, awaiting Chen Yu’s praise.
With a slight smile.
Chen Yu reached out and rubbed his head.
“Roughly, that’s about the gist of it,” Chen Yu said softly. “It’s just… it’s still not particularly comprehensive.”
“Where did I fall short?”
At this moment, Black Bean’s eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge.
“If your subordinates can gain extra income from your enterprise, it will make them feel a stronger sense of belonging to your enterprise,” Chen Yu said seriously. “They will do their utmost to serve your enterprise, and even more so, guard the enterprise’s rightful interests. Because undermining the enterprise’s interests is equivalent to undermining their own interests.”
“Make employees, especially senior management, become a community of shared interests for the enterprise.”
“This is more conducive to the development of the enterprise.”
“You should understand now, shouldn’t you?”
Black Bean listened, his eyes wide, his legs kicking, and his little paws gently patting.
“Boss, that’s brilliant! Which expert proposed this theory?”
“Me!”
Chen Yu shrugged and said.
“The theory I proposed is named – The Theory of Reasonable Embezzlement!”
