Chapter 407: "Friends"

Su Wen listened to Luobao conveying the intentions of the River of Fate, then thoughtfully stroked his chin.

Next, he silently cursed in his heart.

"Time and Space Fool?"

【Dear God of Wealth, the River of Fate senses your unwavering determination to grow stronger and has decided to grant you a one-millionth tax reduction.】

"Time and Space Dummy!"

【Kind-hearted God of Wealth, the River of Fate deeply admires your steadfast resolve and has decided to grant you a one-millionth tax reduction.】

"The River of Time is a big fool and a big dummy!"

【Tax reduction of one-millionth.】

Su Wen looked at the three consecutive notifications of tax reductions and revealed a mysterious smile.

This time, he genuinely felt the sincerity of the River of Fate, and it was overflowing with goodwill.

It seemed there were indeed some hidden conflicts between the River of Fate and the River of Time!

And it appeared that the River of Fate harbored a great deal of resentment!

But this was perfect, as it allowed him to seize the opportunity.

"Ah…"

Su Wen exhaled deeply, feeling fully prepared in his heart.

Then, he began to unleash a torrent of thoughts against the River of Time.

As Su Wen’s mental barrage continued, the River of Fate started to reduce the tax rate on the refinement of fortune by a probability of one in a million.

Beside him, the Star God and the God of Theater noticed Su Wen’s unusual behavior.

However, seeing Su Wen’s serious expression, they understood that he was occupied, so they quickly took charge of handling the dire situation at the human trafficking den.

They had never dealt with such a scene before,

but they had handled far more challenging matters, so it all went smoothly.

After a while, Su Wen slowly opened his eyes, his face showing a look of lingering satisfaction.

He truly hadn’t expected that the River of Fate would have its limits when it came to tolerating the River of Time.

The tax reduction notification flickered a hundred thousand times, and once it reached one-tenth, it hit the River of Fate’s limit.

It was clear that the River of Fate was quite pleased.

After all, its old rival had been scolded by its celestial officer for so long; it was only natural to feel satisfied, right?

"God of Wealth, the River of Time has asked me to relay a message to you."

Luobao’s cheerful voice echoed in Su Wen’s mind, "They say you can gain benefits by angrily scolding the River of Time, and everyone in the River of Time is delighted about it."

"As long as you are happy, the River of Time is happy too."

"So, the River of Time wonders… while you gain such great benefits from angrily scolding them, could you perhaps share some of it with the River of Time?"

At this point, Luobao suddenly paused.

In the next moment, Yuanbao spoke with exasperation, "That shameless River of Time is really a dogskin plaster!"

"How can it take credit for everything?"

"Listening to what was said earlier was quite normal, and the River of Time was supposed to tell me…"

"Bah!"

"You filthy thing!"

"It actually wants the God of Wealth to share the income from fortune?"

"This is clearly a benefit negotiated by the God of Wealth with great effort from the River of Fate, how can it just hand it over to that river?"

"What a joke!"

Su Wen listened to Yuanbao’s angry cursing, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

What Yuanbao almost let slip just now was about the River of Time giving him fortune, right?

In other words, the River of Time wanted Yuanbao to pass a message but needed to pay for it?

Yuanbao… playing both sides?

So it turns out this guy is the real underworld boss!

However, he felt no anger towards Yuanbao’s situation. In fact, he didn’t care at all.

After all, he knew about Yuanbao’s habit of hoarding the Little Gold Vault.

Ultimately, wasn’t Yuanbao’s Little Gold Vault also his?

Now that Yuanbao was finding various ways to fill his Little Gold Vault, who would dislike someone like that?

"Boom!"

At that moment, a loud roar echoed from the horizon.

The next moment, a blood-red lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking right beside Su Wen.

The blood-red lightning was extremely powerful; just from the impact, if Su Wen stood directly in the center without activating Fighting God’s power, he would likely be turned to ashes in an instant.

Su Wen: "……"

Is this a rejection reaction from this Time and Space?

Or… is it the River of Time’s revenge?

It shouldn’t be the revenge of the River of Time. Ultimately, there’s one important question: the longer he stays in this Time and Space, the more he consumes from the River of Time.

With the River of Time’s love for business and its proactive nature in creating meaningful products, he would eventually spend the fortune on that side.

Not to mention this Time and Space; the last sub-timeline had the same kind of rejection.

Familiar scenes, familiar situations, familiar thunder.

"Hurry!"

"We don’t have much time!"

"Quick, go get the money!"

"Time waits for no one; whether it’s about getting money or using this Time and Space’s resources to forge weapons and equipment for yourselves, we don’t have much time!"

When Su Wen spoke, the God of Theater and the Star God’s expressions changed.

They had already sensed the value of this Time and Space.

So every second they could stay here was a gain!

Therefore, time waits for no one!

Thinking of this, they quickened their pace and arranged everything in a very short time. Then, they charged into the Arrow Realm shoulder to shoulder with Su Wen, using every possible means to begin the most frantic and decisive money-making actions.

At the same time, a weak avatar of the God of Theater quietly appeared above the Imperial Capital.

Compared to many other avatars of the God of Theater, this one was rather weak.

However, even the weakest avatar had the ability to remove various curses and schemes from Within Us of the Wind God and to use mental tactics.

Of course, because of its weak power, there would be some pain during the process, more or less.

The God of Theater considered this.

Xiao Feng, after all, is a boy!

Boys should stand tall and not easily shed tears!

So what if it hurts?

No problem!

He believed that Xiao Feng would understand once he learned about the situation on his side.

"Are you really… the God of Theater?"

The Wind God murmured in astonishment upon seeing the weak avatar of the God of Theater.

In recent days, news about the Demigod clan of the Arrow Realm had gradually reached his ears.

He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that some of his friends from the Hidden Killing clan seemed to have changed their attitude toward him.

It seemed… a bit friendlier, but he still sensed some other factors at play.

But it didn’t matter; he just needed to confirm that his friends weren’t plotting against him and still recognized him as a friend.

As for the rest, he didn’t care too much.

"Xiao Feng, you’re being foolish!"

The God of Theater glanced over the Wind God and noticed an additional subtle fluctuation on him in a very short time. He sighed helplessly and said, "You’re such a big person now; when will you learn to be more cautious?"

"Did I not teach you that you can’t easily trust outsiders?"

"If you can’t even trust people, how can you trust non-human things?"
