Chapter 929: Chapter 929

"So, how do you think we should utilize these military forces?" Du You had some minor ideas, but he hadn’t thoroughly considered how to implement them.

Li Minglu said without hesitation, "We can launch a leasing business and rent out these forces."

Startled, Du You then said, "Explain your thoughts in detail."

"These forces are too weak for us to use on our own, but if dispersed, they can be incredibly strong when fighting alone. By renting them out at a certain price to other students, we can earn a substantial amount of Crystal Coins."

Lightly nodding, Du You agreed, "Then what? There must be more benefits than just that."

Li Minglu didn’t hesitate to divulge everything, "Another point is that these rented forces still belong to our territory. By participating in various battles, they will greatly enhance our experience value acquisition for our territory."

That was indeed true. Renting them out would absolutely accelerate the development of his territory; he might even reach the fifth tier in record time. It was definitely a great idea since they weren’t needed for territory protection.

"The most crucial point is that after we rent out our soldiers, it will significantly increase the safety for other students; I believe even the academy will strongly support this. If they encounter dangerous situations, our soldiers can take their place, die for them, and buy them time to escape. Even if we charge a bit more, it would still be reasonable,"

With a frown, Du You said he never treated the soldiers and citizens of his territory as mere tools.

However, he also knew this was likely a common strategy for most territory managers. Moreover, once the soldiers are leased out, to earn back the costs, those students would inevitably become more reckless.

But in everyone’s eyes, the lives of the students were definitely more valuable than those of the hired soldiers.

"Once a soldier dies, we not only collect the rent but also earn a security deposit. Using ordinary soldiers to exchange for funds to develop the territory is a long-term income for our territory. Even this leasing business could continue indefinitely, even after this world is under control,"

Li Minglu continued, "This model will surely be imitated by other territories eventually, but not now. Currently, as the world needs to be conquered, no academy’s territory can afford to rent out their soldiers; only ours can. The Allied Comprehensive Academy’s second territory could too, but their territorial level is too low to matter."

Before coming here, Li Minglu had already obtained some information about this matter on the road. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to quickly devise a plan targeted precisely at their territory.

"A very well-thought strategy," Du You had to admit, the plan was truly flawless.

"One last thing, I heard that you, master, are planning to train as a Tian Gang Martial Artist and want to enhance this profession’s skills,"

Without concealing anything, Du You said, "Yes, it’s not just about enhancing skills but also about advancing in my profession. And you don’t have to call me master; call me boss." Being called master by a young girl sounded nice, but it made Du You uncomfortable coming from a grown man.

Besides, given their current situation, Du You felt more like it was a relationship between a boss and an employee.

Though Du You didn’t make a big deal of it, Li Minglu felt grateful inside. "Alright, boss. I think Tian Gang Martial Artist is a combat profession. To possess more combat skills and advanced professions, one must go through extensive battles. Therefore, sending them out to battle is one of the best methods. This profession could become a signature profession of our territory in the future."

He didn’t know that Du You had another territory, and he had already allowed the natives there to undergo cultivation evolution.

So this choice was indeed the best. As for the territory’s professions, right now, there were only two that could be passed on. One was the Tian Gang Martial Artist, and the other was the ordinary Sky Knight.

Sky Knight was a common profession, not particularly powerful; it was just a type of knight proficient in aerial combat. However, Tian Gang Martial Artist was different; it was a signature profession with tremendous developmental potential. Follow current novels on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

After thinking it over for quite some time, Du You finally nodded in agreement. "Alright, let’s do it your way. Moreover, let the student enrollments for the academy hereafter be handled by you; you make the calls for this territory from now on."

"Please rest assured, boss, I will absolutely not let the territory’s interests suffer." This boss was very easy to talk to.

Moreover, in managing this territory, he didn’t have anyone from above interfering, as Du You was clearly not the type to meddle in management. Without any constraints, the management environment was far better than before.

"Congratulations to you then; you’ve found a new job," interjected Li Mengyao at that moment.

"And I must thank the young miss for her introduction; otherwise, I never would have found such a good job," Li Minglu internally felt grateful.

With the launch of the leasing business, the student’s boon had arrived. Although the territory’s military forces were not vast, the weakest was tier-two and the strongest were tier-four soldiers. Maybe an individual couldn’t afford to rent, but a team renting a tier-four military force together made mission accomplishment much easier and security was ensured.

The territory’s leasing business heated up quickly, bringing in a significant amount of Crystal Coins on the very first day.

"It’s a pity that Crystal Coins cannot be used in financial operations," Du You remarked with some regret.

There was no helping it; Crystal Coins weren’t real currency, even though they were always used like one. Crystal Coins were essentially a consumable, a resource, a product of the world’s force condensation.

So, however many Crystal Coins there were, no one used them for business operations; it simply wasn’t feasible.

Meanwhile, the students, along with their rented soldiers, boldly charged into the territory of the Flame Giants. For a while, the incidence of student casualties decreased, while the situation for the Flame Giants worsened.

As expected, the academy was very pleased with this outcome. Director Wang even personally commended Central City for its contribution to the academy. Central City’s upgrade experience also continued to rise, achieving three benefits in one stroke.

Perhaps the only thing that troubled Du You was that his territory’s soldiers had started to suffer losses. Soldiers who were previously well-protected were now losing several daily, and this rate of loss was even accelerating.

This wasn’t intentional on the part of the students, it was just that the places they went to were perilous, and situations frequently arose where they needed to use soldiers’ lives to block dangers, helping their employers escape.
