24 Chapter 24: The Miserable Young Master Dai, Sobbing over Compensation!_1

"What? Five hundred thousand?!"

The shopkeeper was first stunned,

then overjoyed!!

That was ten times the compensation he was supposed to get!

What a good person!

This person from Canghui Academy is simply a saint!!

Actually, his shop indeed deserved more compensation.

But since he was just a nobody,

he didn't dare to provoke these Soul Masters.

So he played it down.

"Five hundred thousand gold coins? For this little shabby shop?"

Dai Mubai, who was covered in injuries behind him, saw Ye Feng keeping accounts and his whole body shook in fright!

You should know, in this world a single golden soul coin is enough to cover the living expenses of an ordinary poor family of three for several months!

Five hundred thousand gold coins—that's an astronomical sum!

"Young Master Dai, you shouldn't judge this small shop by its appearance. This location is excellent! With people coming and going every day, it has a monthly income of up to five thousand gold coins. A compensation of five hundred thousand isn't unreasonable, is it? Young Master Dai, that look on your face isn't because you can't afford to pay the compensation, is it?!"

Ye Feng turned to look at the battered Dai Mubai,

especially that look in his eyes, seemed to be suppressing internal pain.

It's not his fault, though.

According to the exchange rate of this world, a single gold coin is at least equivalent to several hundred dollars on Earth.

After all, as mentioned in the original work, a single gold coin can cover several months' worth of living expenses for an ordinary family.

But just to sign up for Shrek Academy costs ten gold coins.

So let's just calculate it based on the cost of signing up for Shrek Academy. Even if you say ten gold coins are one thousand yuan, a single gold coin is enough for a poor person to live on just vegetables and tree bark for several months.

Five hundred thousand gold coins are directly equivalent to fifty million yuan for Dai Mubai on Earth!

It's perfectly normal for him to be jumping up and down about it.

However, considering the location of the shopkeeper's restaurant and their business condition, the total value of their restaurant is definitely in the tens of millions. It was simply because they were afraid to speak up, considering their opposition was Soul Masters.

Now paying five times the compensation to them, there's no problem with that, is there?

Besides, who is Young Master Dai?

A Prince of the Xingluo Empire.

The entire Empire belongs to his family.

This little money!

It's just a hair off the tip of nine oxen!

"I can afford to compensate, but this..."

"Great! Since Young Master Dai can afford it, let's move on to the next one!!"

Before Dai Mubai could even speak, Ye Feng promptly continued.

"I'm the owner of the bathhouse next door!"

"I run an inn!!"

...

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand!"

"A family of seven with a five-story building? A million it is then."

...

That piece of white paper was already filled with dozens of names.

As much as a million to as little as a few thousand gold coins!!

Soon, Dai Mubai and the others realized that the entire town had come over!!

"Hey! Kid, are you making a mistake? Their clothes are slightly torn and you want to put down a thousand gold coins??"

Dai Mubai panicked!!

His back was already soaked through.

Even if he was wealthy, he couldn't stand this kind of extortion.

This was practically killing him!!

"Young Master Dai, you are mistaken. Just now this couple was staying in an inn next door. It was because you smashed their wall and took their bed, causing both of them to suffer severe psychological trauma and injury. Especially this man, he may very likely be impotent in the future because of this. A compensation of a thousand gold coins is reasonable and fair, right?"

Ye Feng continued to count and speak as he went along.

"Yeah, yeah! Absolutely!!"

The couple was nodding vigorously.

A thousand gold coins!!

That was ten years' worth of their salary!

Forget about impotence!

Even if their house caught fire, it wouldn't matter!!

"This???"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai was full of question marks.

"Soul Master sir, I just set up a stall, and it got flipped over. I don't need too much in compensation—just five hundred gold coins will do."

At this moment, a young man squeezed to the front.

"Alrighty, for a wrecked stall, write down five hundred gold coins."

Ye Feng waved his hand grandly and jotted it down!

"This! Isn't this the inn waiter? He set up a stall???"

Dai Mubai was shocked.

His eyeballs almost popped out.

He had seen false accounting before, but never like this.

This was clearly an inn's waiter!

"This..."

The waiter's body suddenly trembled slightly.

He had been found out.

This was bad, so bad.

Why was his luck so terrible today!

Quite a few people had already chalked up several hundred to thousands of dollars.

He had wanted a piece of the action too.

After all, he had been tripped earlier today.

His body was still a bit sore.

Coming over to ask for a bit of medical expenses, that was reasonable, wasn't it?

"Young Master Dai, how could you be so sure that the inn's waiter wouldn't run a stall? What if his main job is as a waiter, and he runs a stall on the side as a secondary business? That's unverifiable, right? Then by the principle of 'where there's smoke, there's fire,' these five hundred gold coins are also justifiable, right?"

Ye Feng wrote down the words.

"Pfft—"

Dai Mubai literally spat out a mouthful of blood!

He was mad!

Angry that he actually couldn't rebut this argument!!

And why on earth did he say such foolish things today!!

Now he was really going to lose his shirt.

But with so many people here, he couldn't well go back on his word, could he?

Moreover, Zhu Qing was also present.

He had truly fallen into a trap today!

"Kid! One can't just account like this, Mubai is willing to pay, but you can't write down so much!"

Just then, Zhao Wuji's voice rang out.

With so many people around, he definitely couldn't resort to violence!

If a few people accidentally died, the trouble would be enormous!

And Dai Mubai had already been angered to the point of vomiting blood.

As his teacher, he definitely couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

After all, people from the entire town had come over.

More and more.

It started with just a few hundred people.

Now there were thousands.

If the kid kept up this accounting.

Dai Mubai would be crying his eyes out!

"Teacher Zhao!!"

Dai Mubai felt his heart shatter.

He truly experienced what it meant to be a sucker this evening.

To the point of swallowing one's own teeth and cutting the throat on the way down.

"Ah, I see. Well, why not let the senior Zhao Wuji take over the accounting, everyone? Get to know him—this is the person in charge of Shrek Academy, and also its Vice Principal, Zhao Wuji. His integrity is assured and he definitely won't cheat everybody!!"

Ye Feng hastily tossed the pen over to Zhao Wuji.

In a flash, a crowd surged forward!

"Ah? Hey!!"

Zhao Wuji was stunned as he looked at the pen in front of him!!

How did he know he was the Vice Principal of Shrek Academy!

Moreover, he didn't know the first thing about bookkeeping!

"Me! I'm a stall owner at the entrance here; one of my stalls was destroyed, 200 gold coins!"

"I'm also a stall owner, 200 gold coins!"

...

One after another, people squeezed forward.

They surrounded Zhao Wuji and the others from Shrek Academy with no way out.

As for Ye Feng, he'd already made a strategic retreat.

His reason for doing so was to distract Zhao Wuji with the townspeople.

To prevent him from acting rashly.

Otherwise, if the other party attacked, Canghui Academy would certainly not benefit.

If anyone was to blame, it was Dai Mubai, for digging his own hole!

What a great hole this was!

After Zhao Wuji and his group were tormented enough tonight,

he would go and challenge Zhao Wuji.

After the fight, take the rewards and run!

Simply delightful!!
