Big Capitalist

"Well, based on the needs of the college students, two hundred chickens are not enough for this group of people. We will increase the amount to five hundred tomorrow!"

Merlin and Gene returned to the Beastmaster Academy and began to discuss expanding production.

At the entrance of the Beast Taming Academy, many students were standing at the door waiting for Merlin and Gene. These were the students who helped Merlin deal with the chickens yesterday.

"Senior Gene, Brother Merlin, how is it? Has the beggar's chicken in lotus leaves that we made been sold?" Garant trotted forward and asked expectantly.

Not just sold out, they were sold like crazy!

Gene never thought a chicken could be sold for so much money, but he didn't say anything, instead he looked at Merlin.

Merlin waved his hand and said, "Of course they were all sold. Look, here's all the money!"

Merlin opened the money box on the cart, revealing the glittering gold coins inside. He casually took out a handful and placed it in Gene's hand. He said to the freshmen of the Beastmaster Academy present, "Now everyone, line up. Gene has counted how much work you did yesterday. Now go and take your share of the money!"

The first-year students of the Beast Taming Academy were shocked when they saw the amount of gold coins in the money box on Merlin's cart. When they heard that Merlin was going to give out money, they excitedly ran to Gene's side.

I made money! And it’s not a small amount of money!

All the materials Merlin needed to make the beggar's chicken in lotus leaves were bought from these first-year students. They were the ones who killed the chicken, picked the lotus leaves, wrapped the beggar's chicken, ground the spices into powder, etc. Even though they were paid little for each step, they did a lot.

Gene held up the notebook in his hand and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet, don't move, line up, and come to me to get your money!"

Behind the Beastmaster Academy, on an open space upstream of a tributary of the Emerald River, Gene had set up a table and was sitting on a chair looking at the notes in his hand. In front of him were a number of first-year students from the Beastmaster Academy.

"Well, let me see, Garant, yesterday you killed five chickens, ground two rounds of spices, picked eighty lotus leaves, and deboned the chicken feet... Let me do the math, well, you earned a total of one gold coin, two silver coins, and 17 copper coins."

Gene took out a sufficient amount of coins from the cash box beside him and put them in Garant's hand.

Garant didn't expect that he could earn so much money in one day, and he was stunned.

"Please click and see if I gave it to the right person." Gene looked at the stunned Garant and pointed at the gold coins in his hand.

Under the envious gazes of the people around him, Garant came back to his senses, counted the number of coins in his hand, and then nodded vigorously, "Yes! That's right! That's it! Hahaha! I made money! I made so much in one day!"

"I'm so excited that I'm going to go somewhere else. There are people queuing behind me."

After receiving the money, Garant immediately came to Merlin and bowed deeply to him. "Merlin, thank you very much!"

Merlin waved his hands quickly, "What are you doing? You work for me, this is the money you deserve."

The money he deserved? So much? He just killed a few chickens, processed the chicken feet, and smeared mud on the lotus leaf beggar chicken. He just did some simple things, but he could get so many gold coins. It was really unbelievable for him.

If this happened in his hometown, he might not even be able to get a silver coin, let alone a gold coin.

How much effort did his parents have to put in to earn one gold coin, but he got so much just by doing some small things for his elder brother Merlin in the Arcane Academy.

To be honest, Garant feels unworthy of this.

The rest of the students, those who did more, received a gold coin, and those who did less received a few silver coins. When they received the money, they all felt a little dazed and unbelievable.

They all thought that getting one or two silver coins would be enough, but they didn't expect that it would be doubled.

Many first-year students at the Beast Taming Academy even cried.

For students like them who come from ordinary families, the pressure of studying at the Arcane Academy is quite enormous.

Their families tried their best to make money and saved money to send them to study at the Arcane Academy, but they could not enjoy the peace of mind they had because, after all, they had been working with their parents since they were young and knew how hard their work was.

So they work hard, but no matter how hard they try, they are still just freshmen and cannot earn money to support themselves or even supplement their family income like their seniors who have learned and gained knowledge and abilities.

These students are naturally very anxious when they see that their seniors can earn money to share the burden of their families, but they cannot do it.

It is very difficult for a first-year student to spend less money in college, let alone make money.

But today, they made money. Maybe it was not the first pot of gold they made in their lives, but it was definitely the most money they made in one day.

If I could earn this much money every day, although it would not be enough to pay the annual tuition, it would be enough to support myself.

They don't need to ask their families for extra money, they can earn money and take care of themselves. Thinking of this, the students all looked at Merlin and bowed deeply to him.

"Brother Merlin, thank you so much!" These students didn't know how to express their inner gratitude. Bowing was not enough. They only hoped that Merlin could create jobs for them. They were willing to work harder to repay Merlin's kindness.

Merlin really didn't expect that he would receive so much gratitude when he hired the first-year students of the Beast Taming Academy to do work for him. In his world, paying for work was natural, and these students didn't need to be so grateful to him. They could get the money only because of how much they worked and their own efforts.

This made Merlin feel embarrassed to exploit them.

Merlin didn't know how important the jobs he provided were to these students. Without these jobs, they wouldn't get a penny no matter how hard they worked. For the first-year students who were eager to make money as soon as possible to supplement their family income, Merlin was like a benefactor.

Did Merlin give much? In his world, not much. He worked hard to kill chickens, pick lotus leaves in the lotus pond, collect a lot of broad leaves in the back mountain, etc., and he only gave a little more than a gold coin.

This is only a little over 100 yuan if converted into RMB. If this happens on Blue Star, who will care about you if you treat people like slaves?

[Of course, part-time college students are excluded. If you can get an internship certificate, you may not have to spend a penny. ]

Merlin looked at the first-year students who were deeply moved, and he quietly wiped away his tears. Wow, what a lovely group of cows and horses. It was as if he saw his own shadow when he first entered university in them.
