Protagonist:

Chen Yi

On the West Continent, only the best could become knights—only the best genes and the best education could produce Temple Knights, and even Divine Art Knights.

The Yin Sen Family had always possessed the best genes and the best education; they were the most powerful force under the city-state system of the West Continent. As the family's legitimate heir, Yin Senyong had never imagined that one day he would be forced to teach ordinary soldiers.

He had trained soldiers or knights for other city-states more than once, but when had he not been treated with considerable courtesy? Even his shield was a parting gift from Kanasos, worth a thousand gold.

The proud knight Yin Senyong almost without thinking refused: "I don't train bandits."

"If you can't train warriors above Body Technique Level 6, I'll castrate you."

A castrated man loses his beard!

After coming to Jiangning, Yin Senyong was awake little and saw few people, but the men he saw were almost all beardless, and Chen Yi himself had none either.

So he believed Chen Yi could do what he said.

Facing the threat of losing his beard, Yin Senyong quietly retreated. But he didn't want to admit he was forced, so he said seriously: "You want to hire me as a knight of Jiangning City-State."

On the continent separated by many mountains, there were very few roads between each plain; some neighboring city-states might be only tens of kilometers in a straight line, but because routes detoured, they often had to travel hundreds of kilometers to arrive. Therefore, in the riverbanks and coastal areas suitable for living, hundreds of city-states rose. And those powerful knights were the nobles walking among the city-states.

A knight of a certain city-state had no special meaning, but for noble knights traveling south and north, having a few more city-state knight titles was at least capital for showing off. It also showed that he, Yin Senyong, was not a pure prisoner.

Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and asked: "Jiangning City-State?"

"Aren't you a Jiangning person?"

"You still know this." Chen Yi clicked his tongue twice and said: "What's the situation with city-state knights?"

"You should give me your city-state's knight emblem, pay salary, provide servants, and I will also act according to your city-state's rules. Of course, if the rules conflict with my knight code, I have the right to leave." Yin Senyong said very carefully despite his confusion.

Chen Yi nodded and said: "Alright, I'll give you the knight emblem in a few days. Speaking of city-state rules, Jiangning's regulations are like this—did you see that high wall over there?"

He pointed to the wall separated between the martial arts halls.

"Yes."

"If you leap over that wall, I'll castrate you. For anything, find Luo Xiong."

Yin Senyong's face turned green, and he said with slight anger: "Don't always threaten me with castration."

Chen Yi ignored him and handed over two konjacs: "Eat them when you have needs; after each use, remember to report, and then I'll replenish them for you."

Two konjacs could only last one hour; Yin Senyong was now equivalent to being in a large prison with a radius of five kilometers, unfamiliar with the place and having nowhere to escape, so Chen Yi was very relieved.

Actually still a prisoner, Yin Senyong helplessly agreed. Just as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Yi wave his hand, and a group of twenty people walked in.

"These are all Body Technique Level 3 students, and they are already the elite force among the students. Your requirement is to raise their speed to Body Technique Level 6." Chen Yi did not require training the existing Body Technique Level 6 or even higher-level students, but hoped to raise the average level of the martial arts hall students. This would benefit both the hall's own development and control.

If a student's level was too high, obviously the hall would have to pay disproportionate resources to keep him, which from Chen Yi's perspective was not cost-effective.

Yin Senyong said blankly: "So many?"

"Add more in a few days; don't worry."

"I'm used to training a small number of excellent knights."

"Change your habit." Chen Yi patted Yin Senyong's shoulder and said: "If you have no other needs, I'm leaving."

Yin Senyong immediately said: "What about my equipment?"

As an excellent family knight, handsomeness was also a kind of strength. Even now, while asking for things, Yin Senyong still looked very much like a star, as if his actions and tone were prepared in advance. The students in front were stunned.

Level 3 students were already quite high-end, but as young people, who didn't want to learn to be a bit more handsome? Everyone's mood was instantly lifted.

Chen Yi would not be affected by the so-called star effect; he curled his lip and said: "Weapons with too much lethality are unnecessary. When you leave, I will give you new equipment."

Yin Senyong didn't argue and continued: "What about my mount?"

"Do Body Technique Level 3 students need a mount?"

"What about my salary?" Yin Senyong was not at all ashamed to discuss salary. For families like the Yin Sen Family, their strength did not come from occupying a prosperous city-state and becoming flourishing, but because their descendants gained glory and influence by traveling among various city-states, and of course, the family's martial force kept rising.

Descendants serving in multiple city-states, with disciples spread across various regions, their hidden power was enough to influence the Temple's decisions; these three points could be called the trilogy of a prosperous family.

Stimulating vitality through economic means could be called Chen Yi's reserved technique. He had also prepared early; silently reciting the character "zha," he took out a bottle of Level 4 Luoti Divine Oil and handed it to Yin Senyong.

The packaging of Luoti Divine Oil from the Saint Qiao Kingdom was ordinary, but the liquid inside was very familiar to Yin Senyong. Level 4 Luoti Potion was not as good as what Cao Zheng and other students used, but in the Magic Kingdom, it had an extraordinary status.

Not every mage or Temple priest could make potions at cost. Its complicated craft and cost limited the large-scale popularization of potions, so not only was the price high, but they were also available but unobtainable, harder than gold coins.

Yin Senyong doubtfully opened the wooden stopper, sniffed lightly, and his expression changed greatly: "Divine Oil?"

Even the name was exactly the same.

Chen Yi didn't think deeply and nodded with a smile: "How about using it to pay your salary?"

"At least one bottle every ten days!" Yin Senyong said through gritted teeth, feeling inwardly that he was making an exorbitant demand.

Considering the current situation, he quickly added: "I definitely guarantee to train them to Body Technique Level 6 at the fastest speed."

He no longer disdained the students' low talent and level at all.

The students were in an uproar.

Body Technique Level 3 students could also see a bit of the other's level; the man before them was clearly a very powerful knight, and definitely someone above Body Technique Level 6, yet he only asked for one bottle of Luoti Divine Oil every ten days—didn't that prove the value of Luoti Divine Oil was far from as simple as the students imagined?

"Divine Oil is indeed a good thing!"

"We should get at least six bottles of Level 3 Luoti Divine Oil per week... Level 4 Divine Oil seems to be just over 100,000 points."

"Could Level 4 have something special?"

"I've used it; nothing special, indeed just a bit faster."

"He's a knight above Level 6, right, using Level 4 Luoti Divine Oil?"

"I should have hoarded more Divine Oil earlier."

Speaking of this, the students all fell silent; everyone knew that after they dispersed and returned, the price of Divine Oil would surely enter a state of soaring prices.

Now there are professional students and staff trading Divine Oil, and the money they earn each month is no less than before; the Divine Oil market fluctuates no slower than the stock market.

Chen Yi chuckled darkly twice, left the man behind, and walked away. He didn't care about a bit of petty Divine Oil money; Holy Qiao lacked nothing else, but Magic Apprentices were as numerous as ox hairs. Previously, producing Tearful Divine Oil was relatively slow because there was little money. Now the occupied territories have increased, and trade with the eastern alliance has increased, so production efficiency naturally soared. Moreover, judging by their appearance, coming up with some innovative inventions is also no problem — Mages are the people with the highest intelligence in the world.

As long as one controls the channels of Divine Oil, even if it rises to the sky it can be suppressed down; as long as one has money in hand, even if it falls back to the ground it can be blown back to the sky.

Leaving the Martial Arts Hall, Chen Yi recalled Yin Senyong's mention of the Knight Emblem, so he called Bai Zong.

Bai Zong had collected nearly 4 tons of platinum in succession, and was already so happy his teeth were about to fall out. Seeing Chen Yi's call, he laughed: "Mr. Chen, is there another benefit coming my way?"

Doing the jewelry business, especially rare jewelry, sales channels are actually nothing to worry about, and costs are even lower. Especially when the market is good, no matter how much precious metal is acquired for, it only gets marked up and sold. Even if funds are tight, getting a bank loan is very easy — whether gold, platinum, or silver, all can serve as complete collateral. Most of the world's platinum comes from South Africa, and the White Family's enterprise exhausts itself half to death every year just fighting for market share. Now with Chen Yi continuously sending it over, there's only the single-minded joy of it.

"There is, but I want to buy some things from you."

"That's even better, that's even better." Bai Zong was actually slightly disappointed; if there could be another two or three Divine Sorrows, the White Family would have much more room to maneuver when formulating market strategy.

Supermarkets can run promotions every day, relying on ample supply. But jewelry stores sometimes want to operate on thin margins yet worry about raw material shortages. This is the difference between trades — they usually don't have capital chain rupture problems, but raw material scarcity can be fatal.

How would Chen Yi know so much? He hasn't been short of money recently, and also worries that too much precious metal on the market would affect prices, so he hasn't brought any Conch Shells from the West Continent either.

Exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Yi laughed: "Does Boss Bai know about European Knight Badges, Noble Emblems, and such things?"

"Know them, know them. What kind do you want made?"

"How about making some emblems in the name of the West River City-State? Knight Emblems."

"Any special requirements?"

"I'll be ordering more later; this time just 20 for now. The design must be outstanding, grand and noble, just like they're really for knights."

"Good, once the design is ready I'll show it to you." Wealthy people's eccentric requests are many; Boss Bai has even encountered one giving underwear clips to every woman he'd slept with — a Knight Badge is nothing by comparison.

Chen Yi paused slightly, then continued: "Also make a Commemorative Medal — should be a Medal, a Battle Medal."

"Mm-hmm."

"First Battle of the West River Defense War Commemorative. Make three tiers; quantity is temporarily undetermined, but design them first."

West Continent people believe in things like Medals, Badges, and Emblems; a Knight's honor being more important than life isn't just talk — it's been proven and annotated by countless lives over thousands of years.

The West River Water Fortress ultimately needs native support; since they like Badges, Chen Yi won't be stingy.
