Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 80 – Production self-help

Gu Feng called this emotional tug-of-war, essentially a game of playing hard to get, keeping a delicate balance.

Murong Ze regarded Gu Feng as a lifelong mentor for happiness, highly valuing this method and revering him like a deity.

Bai Jugu also lay on a nearby bench, watching Jiang Chuyao joyfully chase Gu insects in the fields, while he sighed, lacking any mood for leisure.

Since the White Tiger Witch's Village went to war with the other three major witch villages over the Spirit Stone veins of Xinning Stream, it had been over a month.

The entire Northern Wilderness border had turned into chaos.

Even the Jiang family caravan, although they had completed trade with the White Tiger Witch's Village, couldn't just leave.

Outside the witch village, the entire Northern Wilderness border was in turmoil.

In a wartime state, numerous scattered bands of witch soldiers roamed outside. If the caravan encountered them, it would be a disaster.

These ruffians never reasoned, always ready to risk their lives.

Seeing valuables, they wouldn't hesitate to rob, and some would even kill to eliminate any future troubles.

Bai Jugu dared not take this risk and had to report to the Jiang family in Yong'an City, explaining the special circumstances of this year.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Aonan's first thought was Jiang Chuyao's safety.

As for the caravan and profits, he didn't care!

He quickly responded to Bai Jugu, stating that all trade for this year was to stop here. Until the war at the Northern Wilderness border ceased, the entire caravan was to remain at the White Tiger Witch's Village, with no private trading allowed.

He then wrote a letter to Ji Qin of the White Tiger Witch's Village, hoping he would take care of the caravan, especially his daughter!

Upon learning that the Jiang family caravan included the City Lord's daughter, Ji Qin's attitude made a complete turnaround, quickly providing more witch servants and cooling supplies for the Evernight Cave caravan.

The treatment was upgraded from a standard suite to a presidential suite.

Everyone was delighted, except for Bai Jugu, who was sullen.

The ban on trade this year directly deprived the caravan members of their expected profits.

The Jiang family could afford it, being wealthy, but they couldn't. With families to support, they relied on this trade to earn some Spirit Stones to make ends meet.

Now, it was all for nothing, and they were trapped at the Northern Wilderness border, not knowing when they could leave.

"Sigh... What should we do now!" Bai Jugu shook his head, looking worried.

Gu Feng raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but advise, "Brother Bai, what's the use of sighing? Since we're here, we should make the best of it. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten. Come, have some fruit to cool down!"

Saying this, he signaled to the witch servant fanning him, who immediately brought a plate of chilled fruit to Bai Jugu.

"My dear Young Master Gu!"

Waving his hand to dismiss the servant, Bai Jugu sighed, looking dejected, "How can we compare to you? What is your status? Wherever you go, you're a dragon among men. We have families to support, and this year we might not even have food on the table, let alone think about eating fruit."

Gu Feng silently rolled his eyes, knowing this feeling all too well.

In his previous life, he was just a mediocre person.

Wasting his youth for a meager salary.

In this life, Gu Feng vowed never to live like that again.

Therefore, he had to make himself stronger, both in personal strength and in the power he held.

Gu Feng had to build the commercial empire of the cultivation world he envisioned, step by step.

Even if it meant using any means necessary, even if it meant sacrificing many people's interests or even lives!

In any world, power and capital are inherently bloody!

"No, I have to lead everyone to do something! We can't just wait to die!"

Bai Jugu suddenly stood up, determination in his eyes, and turned to ask Gu Feng, "Young Master Gu, what was that self-help thing you mentioned last time?"

"Production self-help!"

Gu Feng replied while eating chilled fruit.

This idea was a plan Gu Feng tailored for Bai Jugu a month ago when he saw him worrying about the caravan.

It wasn't complicated, just having all the guards and laborers in the caravan sell their labor.

Now, in early summer, it was the season for the Northern Wilderness villagers to sow Gu fields.

Instead of doing nothing and waiting for death, these caravan guards and laborers could talk to Ji Qin about helping with some farm work in exchange for Gu sources.

This way, time wouldn't be wasted, and there would be some income, preventing a total loss.

Unfortunately, Bai Jugu still held onto the hope that the Northern Wilderness war would end quickly, so he didn't take it seriously.

People always choose to adapt only when they have no other options.

Little did he know, those who don't plan for the future will have immediate worries.

Instead of relying on uncertain hopes, it's better to plan ahead and act accordingly.

Bai Jugu had no idea that this war was orchestrated by Gu Feng, who provided Ji Wenxuan with a strategy centered on one word: delay!

"Yes! Production self-help!"

Bai Jugu slapped his thigh and quickly said, "I'll go to the White Tiger Cave and meet Chief Ji Qin right away!"

With that, he bid farewell to Murong Ze and turned to fly towards the White Tiger Cave.

Gu Feng chuckled, exchanging a knowing smile with Murong Ze.

"Brother Gu, if I'm not mistaken, this war was instigated by you, wasn't it?" Murong Ze suddenly asked.

Gu Feng was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then candidly nodded, "Brother Murong, you're right. I orchestrated it."
