Chapter 366: Open Plot

Obviously, Wang Chao realized this, so he stopped Long Batian's action, and at the same time stopped himself.

Once they started fighting on stage, it would completely turn into a problem of using force to decide who is the leader of the Dragon People, a development Wang Chao did not want to see.

Returned to the residence.

Long Batian slammed the table, angrily saying: "Wang Chao, we should have done it just now! We can't be hesitant and soft-hearted; he is now showing all Dragon People what it looks like after the bloodline curse is lifted, which is inevitable...."

"I understand!" Wang Chao looked at Long Batian and said: "Dragon Uncle, sit down first and calm down."

Long Batian took a deep breath, and Zhang Yao beside him also comforted: "Dragon Brother, don't be so angry; that guy is deliberately provoking us, wanting us to make a move in front of everyone!"

"I know." Long Batian sat down, gritted his teeth: "That brat is really infuriating, having the initiative yet acting so arrogant, truly thinking he has victory in hand?"

Wang Chao sighed: "The problem is not here."

Long Batian looked at Wang Chao: "What is it?"

"Dragon Uncle, have you considered why Yan Buji would start from the most basic theories of alchemy and artifact forging?" Wang Chao looked at them and said: "If it were only to win people over with the method to lift the curse, he wouldn't need to do this; he could directly produce that method, and our structural system would quickly collapse."

"Why is that...?" Long Batian and Zhang Yao exchanged a glance, puzzled.

Wang Chao said: "I have met the priest before; he told me many things. But most importantly, after the bloodline curse is lifted, Yan Buji truly does have that existence in his hand."

"So what?"

Wang Chao looked at them: "But resources are tight among the Dragon People now; even if there are spiritual stone mines, they are not enough. Once these Dragon People start trying to forge pills and artifacts themselves, where will the consumed resources be replenished?"

"This.... they should be turning it over...."

"What if they don't turn it over in secret? And our people also have embezzlement; this would cause our resources to sharply decline in the coming time!" Wang Chao saw Yan Buji's open plot; actually, since it is a conspiracy, Yan Buji doesn't fear Wang Chao and them seeing through it.

Wanting more resources to meet everyone's needs?

Do you, Wang Chao, have the ability to find it?

Even if the Dragon Priest told you where resources exist in the Boundless Sea Trench, can you, Wang Chao, distribute them fairly and justly, guaranteeing no one loses out?

This is impossible!

Because although the Boundless Sea Trench is vast, the extreme scarcity of resources in the outer seven layers fundamentally cannot satisfy the Dragon People's daily needs, even making cultivation somewhat difficult.

And they, now have just barely reached the stage of being able to eat their fill; how could they possibly have abundant resources to supply everyone's cultivation?

This is what Yan Buji can see, and also the biggest problem Wang Chao can see.

The distribution of resources exists with inequality between upper and lower, and this inequality will only grow larger, unless they can leave here to seize the resources of the Dongxing Sea Region.

But the problem returns to the starting point: the existence of the bloodline curse makes the Dragon People completely unable to compete in the Dongxing Sea Region; moreover, as a kind of Otherworldly Race, although Dragon People are transformed from humans, for humans, how could resources already in hand be easily given up?

This involves war!

As soon as war is involved, with the Dragon People's fatal flaw they cannot defeat any force. Even if they luckily seize resources from a small sect, the entire human population of the Dongxing Sea Region will surely cause trouble for them; at that point, the Dragon People surrounded on all sides will still be unable to escape the fate of destruction.

Therefore war is undesirable, yet they must leave the Boundless Sea Trench to achieve future development.

Then lifting the bloodline curse is also so that the Dragon People in the future will no longer be naturally restrained; and now the Dragon People have just started, with only a Nascent Soul cultivator who may not even be able to act, so these Golden Core cultivators have become the Dragon People's sole experts.

With such strength, seizing resources is impossible, but at least they must ensure they can defend themselves after leaving.

So Wang Chao learned from the Dragon Priest how to leave the Boundless Sea Trench, but he has never told anyone.

Because he knows that relying solely on personal strength cannot bring resources to the entire Dragon People.

Yan Buji's move hits the death point of Wang Chao and them, this leadership ruling system!

Without resources, these Dragon People will try every way to gather resources; even if Wang Chao lets them turn them over, it's impossible.

Whenever Yan Buji says that without improving one's alchemy level it's hard to lift the bloodline curse, many people will probably start trying.

From trying to failing to giving up, this process is quite lengthy; you can't expect everyone to give up, which is a simple principle.

The consumption of resources will then produce a sharp downward trend in the coming time.

"Not good, not good!!"

"What happened?!"

Just as the three were still thinking about how to respond to Yan Buji's means, a person rushed in from outside the door, panicked, shouting:

"Not good! The Minister of Finance.... was beaten to death!"

"What?!"

Now even Wang Chao couldn't hold back, exclaiming aloud.

"What exactly happened?"

"It's.... because the minister.... he deducted all the miners' thirty percent of spiritual stones, replacing them with waste pellets... oh spiritual pellets to offset wages; as a result, the mine shaft over there exploded the pot, and he rushed over angrily and was beaten to death...."

"Why didn't you stop them?"

"That's two thousand people...."

Wang Chao took a deep breath, his body involuntarily stepped back two paces, almost losing his footing.

"Wang Chao!" Long Batian furrowed his brows: "Pull yourself together; solving this problem still requires you to step forward!"

Wang Chao took a deep breath: "Bring all officials, let's go together!"

"Yes...."

The Dragon People erupted in a massive strike movement, even killing the Minister of Finance as protest.

Perhaps the miners themselves are not that extreme, but they truly could bear it no longer.

Afterward, Wang Chao brought people rushing over, personally negotiating with the head miner, and on the spot admitted his mistake and apologized to them.

Hope to regain some face.

But at this moment, an unexpected situation arose!

"Finally waited for this opportunity, Wang Chao!"

A Dragon Person named Xu Ying, who also has some reputation among the Dragon People, after all he is a firm defender of Wang Chao's rule, even somewhat fanatical.

This person, at this very moment, made a move!

He rushed over, and before anyone could react, he killed the head miner with a single blade!

Wang Chao stared wide-eyed: "What are you doing?!!"

Xu Ying said calmly: "These people aren't working properly, they actually gathered together wanting to shake the leader's rule, they deserve death! Everyone should know that the leader's decisions are correct, all officials are for the Dragon People to get better and better, what they're doing now are all slandering the leader and officials' rebellious acts, absolutely unforgivable!"

Xu Ying looked at Wang Chao, laughing madly: "We must believe that under the leadership of Leader Wang Chao and all officials, the entire Dragon People will get better and better!!"

It's over!

Wang Chao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, lowered his head.
