Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 493: Absence from work is insufficient, it escalated quickly

Chapter 493: 493: Absence from work is insufficient, it escalated quickly

Gaul Country.

Gu Qingxue had a great time playing with Erin for several days.

Children all have one thing in common, the desire to share.

When she was alone, Gu Qingxue found playing with her brother boring, for he did not like the toys of her age group.

Now that Erin was here and they both shared similar interests, it was time to shop till they dropped.

Stopping at various toy and doll stores before heading to the children’s amusement park.

To make Gu Qingxue happy, Goldfinch invited the best theater academy team to perform every fairy tale suitable for children.

The costumes and scenes were of the highest quality, vividly enthralling Gu Qingxue and Erin as they held their plush toys and watched from their seats, completely immersed.

When it was time to part, Gu Qingxue, still unwilling to let go, clung to Erin.

Meanwhile, representatives from several large and small families across Europe could only stand on the steps, watching Erin’s family interact and chat with a child of the Taoist Ancestor’s family.

No matter what, without Erin, they probably wouldn’t have known what the little princess Qingxue liked.

At least these past few days with Erin’s company, Gu Qingxue was very happy.

As she was leaving, Gu Qingxue said to Erin, "I have to go now, see you at school. If anyone bullies you, tell me, and I’ll have Wangcai bite them."

Erin hugged Gu Qingxue and smiled, nodding her head.

Erin’s parents stood by, very satisfied with the outcome of the past few days.

If they hadn’t come this trip, the top families of Europe wouldn’t have cared at all about their family.

Now, having their daughter connected with Miss Qingxue, these people would have to consider the positioning of the Sosif family.

In the eyes of families like Goldfinch and Windsor, they really didn’t care what a second-tier family like Sosif wanted.

You see, for them, the Sosif family pleasing and accompanying Miss Qingxue well was indeed a great accomplishment, especially in front of the Nascent Soul Star System Lord’s resources, where they could yield the earthly benefits.

That day, several major families in Europe agreed to let the Sosif family’s industry enter the top-tier capital market layout.

Shortly after, that very night, more than a dozen family leaders did not rush back to their own countries.

As they expected, Guard Wang personally visited their venue that evening.

That night, Europe saw the birth of 651 new Nascent Soul Lords.

With a vast amount of spirit stone mines inherited, over 20,000 Foundation Establishment cultivators worldwide had job security.

All the Nascent Soul Lords first recruited global Foundation Establishment cultivators to help mine the spirit mines.

Because, having become players of the "Original World," they found that their current spirit stone reserves could hardly afford the "Spiritual Artifact First-grade" magical treasures in the store.

"Recruit more miners, speed up the production, raise their wages, and first stack up the spirit stones for me—I need to use them!"

David returned to his family and urged his housekeeper to boost the storage of spirit stones as fast as possible.

Because the "Spiritual Artifact First-grade" magical treasures sold by other players in the game store were too tempting.

But a price tag of thirty million low-grade spirit stones was not something any family could easily afford.

Previously, in the National War, their families each made a considerable amount, probably in the tens of millions.

But after distributing it among the family members, only a few million spirit stones remained in the family’s main fortress stocks as a reserve.

This amount was generally the norm for major families on Earth.

So when a weapon cost thirty million spirit stones, it indeed caught many players off guard.

But they really liked these few magical treasures.

After all, these were "Spiritual Artifact" level magical treasures.

Considering that Earth is currently using "Precious Device" level magical treasures, "Spiritual Artifact" level magical treasures are two levels higher than "Precious Device."

Worldwide, only a handful of cultivators use "Spiritual Artifact" level magical treasures.

Taoist Ancestor’s wife’s eldest disciple, Eileen, has one that her master gave her.

After that, it’s the exclusive magical treasure inherited by the guild’s president.

The remaining magical treasures were all of the "Precious Device" level. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

At present, Guo Chao, Yu Zecheng, and others, these three, had relied on their own efforts to procure them in the "Original World," where the law of the jungle prevailed.

There were two magical treasures in the shop listed by Yu Zecheng.

Originally, he wanted to keep them for his family.

But considering his grandchildren were around, perhaps his family would not fancy these "First-grade Spiritual Artifacts."

Since his two old friends already possessed magical treasures they could use, and those were "Third-grade Spiritual Artifacts," Yu Zecheng decided to simply sell these two surplus ones.

He took advantage of the current low player numbers and low supply to sell them at a high price.

This hit right where the newly promoted Nascent Soul players wanted it.

They were like seeing the ultimate equipment of their dreams, wishing they could immediately spend money to buy it.

Alas, their family wallets were thin.

But Nascent Soul Lords had spirit mines behind them.

They could increase mining efforts and quickly save money to buy.

This led to the bustling scene of many lords on Earth recruiting miners.

Originally, the increasing number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators on Earth still faced job security issues; now, suddenly, over a thousand lords had emerged worldwide.

They could easily support over two hundred thousand new Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and there were still many vacant positions unfilled.

With a staffing standard of 1,000 people per mining area, if a thousand lords were mining simultaneously, they could almost recruit a million workers.

Previously, jobs were hard to find; now, there weren’t enough workers, and lords were everywhere raising treatment to snatch people.

To what extent?

The major clans directly shifted their focus to the market of Qi Refining Late Stage Loose Cultivators.

The East Middle Royal Family White Turban went straight to the headquarters of the "Pill Association."

They swept clean the Pill Association’s entire reserve of Foundation Establishment Pills for this year!

"I want 2,000 Foundation Establishment Pills! Give me a bulk discount, and don’t shortchange me."

Just a few years ago, the Foundation Establishment Pills were priced exorbitantly.

The initial transaction price was 5 billion US Dollars.

But with the reduction in material and alchemy technology costs over the years, now one pill costs only 100 million US Dollars.

Even so, that the East Middle Royal Family could all at once take out 200 billion to buy Foundation Establishment Pills showed great courage.

What did they do afterward?

They went to recruit Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators globally.

As long as they signed a long-term contract with East Middle mineral rights, they would offer these elixirs free to help them attack the Foundation Establishment Stage and travel to outer planets!

This news also brought a joyous time for those at the Earth Rank.

However, the actions of the East Middle White Turban were met with widespread cursing from other families.

Because they found that the "Pill Association" had sold out all the Foundation Establishment Pills.

The various national branches worldwide didn’t have much reserve either, and they also didn’t have enough cash on hand to buy, so they became anxious.

The White Turban could only retort, "Who told you to spend all your Earth currency? If you’re to blame anyone, blame your inadequate Earth currency reserves."

Where did the other major families’ cash go?

That was because they previously built palaces for several lords in exchange for spirit mines.

Many had invested hundreds of billions of US Dollars in palace construction.

Thus, resulting in not much large-scale liquid Earth currency on hand.

They were unwilling to pay with their spirit stones to buy something like Foundation Establishment Pills.

They could only curse the East Middle White Turban for being unprincipled in martial ethics.
