Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 179: Peaceful Charm

As the saying goes, comparing yourself to others can drive you crazy. Chuci looked at the shiny and full-of-life Jade Peaceful Charm, then at the wooden bracelet on his wrist, and the difference was obvious.

"Bro, I want one too!" He was longing for it, but just as he spoke, Cai Changming cut him off, "That’s something Master Jiang gave me. Haven’t you already got one?"

Saying that, he casually took it and tried it on his neck. The light from the Peaceful Charm flowed like water, covering him in a soft glow, even the baby spirit Jiang Yuan was holding shielded its face with its small hands, clearly still fearing the power despite the lack of Yin Fiend energy.

"Mr. Cai, this one isn’t cheap." Even Jiang Yuan was a little stunned upon revealing the charm. In Wilderness World, after applying the Faith Value, it did glow, but not as dramatically as this.

Comparing the two, Chuci’s bracelet, which cost him 1.88 million, could only provide a maximum of 500 Faith Value. fгeewebnovёl.com

The key point is, nobody knows the source of the Faith Value, or what price needs to be paid for its protection.

Thinking of selling the jade for a stack of money to recharge in Wilderness World made Jiang Yuan silently ponder what a fitting price might be, even if he spent 10,000 every day on mining tools.

"The jade itself isn’t cheap, Master Jiang, name your price, I’m committed!" Cai Changming thought, with the little ghosts finding their way home, what’s a few bucks for buying Protective Talismans?

Damn it, don’t even know who the culprit is, let me find out who’s behind this and I’ll make them pay!

"Usually, you just wear it without any fuss. The energy in the Peaceful Charm will weaken over time; if nothing unexpected happens, mine can protect you for three years.

But if you face demons, spirits, or disasters, the energy will quickly be consumed." Jiang Yuan explained, following the system details he remembered.

"After the energy is exhausted, I can reinforce it again, but only if the charm remains intact and returns to me as it is."

Cai Changming nodded incessantly and then asked, "Master Jiang, I also have a lot of jade and pendant bracelets, could you infuse energy in them? My whole family is here, and just this one really isn’t enough."

Jiang Yuan considered selling the white jade as well, but then thought he shouldn’t fleece just one sheep till it dies, making money can’t be rushed, it needs to be done with calmness to handle pricing well.

He immediately declined, "You can’t infuse energy into pieces you bought. If Mr. Cai needs it, I can prepare some Protective Talismans with energy another day."

To attach Faith Value, it must be something that can be taken to Wilderness World; even his paper-crafted people can’t make it there, let alone others’ gold and silver accessories.

After all was said he sent a bottle of Ghost-Seeking Potion along with the deal, the company received a "order" worth 3.88 million. Jiang Yuan felt delighted, thinking of settling accounts and recouping funds in a few days, finally having a million-level savings!

"Bro, are you really going to take the little ghost home?" Leaving Cai Changming’s house, Chuci watched the baby spirit crawling over Jiang Yuan, admiring his courage deep down.

Jiang Yuan looked helpless, "The baby spirit is too young to communicate with, I can’t just leave him at Mr. Cai’s. I’ll take him home first, maybe try some graveyard soil tomorrow to see if he can be sent away."

He didn’t want to bring a little ghost home, but letting the little guy run amok could result in being captured and controlled by evil people again.

He didn’t have time to trace back to the mastermind through the baby spirit, but severing the connection with those rearing the ghost would surely lead to repercussions.

If it stops here and doesn’t harm the innocent, fine. But if they’re not satisfied and want to fight, having a baby spirit sensitive to Yin Fiend energy nearby will be a useful warning.

They walked out through the reception lobby into the greenery-filled neighborhood at dusk. Chuci looked around trying to gain a little vision boost with the potion, the glowing beads on his wrist were quite noticeable.

"Chuci, did you see the ceremony when your bracelet was enlightened?"

"Yeah, they held a special ceremony, looked pretty impressive." Chuci wanted to learn more about the ins and outs, recalling, "Actually, they weren’t going to include me at first, but since I stumbled upon a water ghost, my dad worked through several connections to get me added.

It involved vegetarian meals and chanting, even staying in the temple’s backyard for a few days. Then we each got a bracelet, to chant and have it enlightened by the high monk. The whole ceremony looked mysterious; anyway, I didn’t understand, just followed instructions.

Finally, they gave us the enlightened bracelet, told us to avoid water and sexual stuff, and when not wearing it, keep it offered with incense. Man, if I’d known you had a better treasure, might’ve saved myself the trouble!"

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, this was also newly acquired, not even warmed up yet. Luckily, many settings in the real world are similar to Wilderness World, otherwise buying temporary tools would cost a million bucks, how many fruits would I need to sell to afford them?

They chatted idly, circled the northwest of the neighborhood, ensuring there was no Yin Fiend energy in the vicinity, before taking a turn and heading back.

"By the way, you mentioned some new Incense Stick?"

Jiang Yuan remembered needing this guy to help market products.

Though it couldn’t sell as expensive as the Peaceful Charm, long-term fixed customers could make Incense Sticks a stable revenue stream, a steady flow!

"Just made a new batch of ’Night Acacia’, I’ll tell you, light one up and you’ll feel energized and roaring to go, without the drug side effects and it also nourishes the body, ensuring you’re in top shape for anything!"

Chuci saw him with a sly smile and sensed something, "Is this ’roaring to go’ legit?"

"You won’t know unless you try, will you?"

"Well, I actually can’t try it." Chuci chuckled and waved off, "Despite being a rich second generation, I’m not like those stereotypical playboys, I don’t date anyone, avoiding dirt and chaos, got no place to test it. But I know who’ll market it, as long as it’s effective, it’ll fly off the shelves daily!"

While speaking, he stole a glance at the baby spirit already climbing on Jiang Yuan’s neck, lowering his voice, "I never fool around, not just fearing disease, but also due to another important reason — when I was in high school, I loved reading horror magazines. There’s a scary story of a baby spirit seeking revenge after being aborted, gave me quite a psychological shadow, terrified of accidentally causing harm and facing karma."

Jiang Yuan pulled his hair from the baby spirit’s small hands, sighed, "If those raising ghosts had half your awareness, it wouldn’t lead to such adorable babies becoming deadly weapons."

They went upstairs to get the incense, coincidentally encountering Yang Hongye returning from work.

"Mr. Jiang, what salary are you planning to pay me?" She sprawled on the sofa, laughing self-deprecatingly, "The job I’ve got now doesn’t pay wages, it’s just useless!

Sometimes I want to quit in a fit of rage, but then lack the courage, after complaining I still go to work grudgingly. Why am I still unaccomplished, maybe I’m not cunning enough?"
