Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Two hours later, Ye Ge and King Jin Ling left the reception room together.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you... Mr. Night Song, on behalf of our Feather Clan, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to you!"

After the negotiations concluded, King Jinling appeared very excited, holding Ye Ge's hands tightly and expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

Ye Ge shook hands with him, saying, "You're too kind. From now on, we're partners."

"Mr. Ye, rest assured, if there's anything the human race needs... no, if the Ye family needs anything, just let us know, and our Feather Clan will never hesitate!" King Jinling kept assuring us, "And we will definitely make our monthly payments on time for the batch of weapons, equipment, and systems you loaned us!"

“No problem, I trust your Feather Clan completely,” Ye Ge said with a smile.

They lent the Feathered Clan one hundred Odin M3 magic energy machine guns, plus one thousand basic systems, one hundred ordinary systems, ten gold systems, and one supreme system, for a total value of 5000 million Myriad Races Gold Coins.

Night Song's annual interest rate for the Feather Clan is 3%, payable off in thirty years, with a monthly payment of 210802 gold coins.

As the first partner of the Ye family, in order to demonstrate the good friendship between the Ye family and the Feather Clan, Ye Ge thoughtfully did not ask the Feather Clan to make a down payment, only requiring them to make monthly payments on time each month.

Ye Ge herself felt like crying herself to death.

"Mr. Night Song, I... never mind, I won't say anything more!" King Jinling's voice choked with emotion, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Ye Ge turned to look at Bai Xueling: 'See? He should thank us.'

Bai Xueling: "..."

After seeing off the tearful King Jinling, Ye Ge sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and leisurely sipped his tea. The others approached, looking quite bewildered. Li Shuying asked, "My lord, what exactly is this loan...monthly payment...you mentioned earlier?"

"This is a new business that our Ye family is about to launch." Ye Ge grinned. "By the way, Shu Ying, go tell Boss Bao that our Dark City will be launching loan services next week, with annual interest rates ranging from 5% to 8%. We welcome all races and civilizations that lack funds but want to purchase weapons and systems to apply. Oh, and the Ultimate Supreme Membership System—we're only releasing a limited edition of 200 sets this time. Tell him not to exceed that number."

"Oh..." Li Shuying looked completely bewildered and confused, but she still nodded and turned to do as Ye Ge said.

Bai Qing asked, puzzled, "Sir, why are only 200 sets being released? Wouldn't it be better to sell more?"

“If so many are circulating in the market, how can it be called a limited edition?” Ye Ge shook his head: “Not only that, we will sell the basic to platinum versions of the Deep Blue system for a few more days, and then I will announce that production has stopped. We will say that the system is in short supply and that the most important raw materials for making the system chip have been used up and there will be no more in the short term.”

Bai Qing was even more puzzled. If there's money to be made, why not make it?

Bai Xueling pondered for a moment, seemingly understanding what Ye Ge wanted to do, and raised an eyebrow slightly: "You want to use scarcity marketing?"

"Hehe, this is more than just a simple case of scarcity marketing," Ye Ge grinned.

"Also, contact Song Jie and have him do two things."

Ye Ge blew on the hot tea in his cup: "First, after the Deep Blue System stops selling, have him notify the merchant guilds scattered across the myriad races' territory and controlled by the Ye family to prepare. Have them announce that they will purchase the Deep Blue System at a higher price, and gradually increase the purchase price. The increase doesn't need to be too fast. Start by purchasing it at +5%, then after a week, increase it to +10%, and after another month, increase it to +15%. First, let all the myriad races develop the habitual thinking that this thing will continue to rise in price in the future."

"The second thing is to have Song Jie spread rumors and information in the lower and middle levels of various civilizations of myriad races, to do some brainwashing work for them, and to give the Deep Blue System honorary value in addition to its own functions."

Bai Qing was completely bewildered, not understanding at all: "To bestow honorary value beyond its original function?...What does that mean?"

Ye Ge paused, her eyes darting around, "Well... for example, how can someone who can't even install a system become your Daoist partner? How can he protect your safety? How can he give you a bright future?"

Bai Qing: "...Huh??"

Night Song: "In short, we must make all races believe that those who are extraordinary without a system are worse than dogs and are destined to be inferior to others."

Bai Qing: "......"

"Of course, this is just an example. As for the specifics of how to assign them, let Song Jie use his own brain to figure it out. That kid isn't stupid." Ye Ge yawned: "That's it, go ahead."

"Okay, sure." Bai Qing turned around and went to do it.

Ye Ge snuggled comfortably into the sofa, stretched her arms, and yawned.

Arthur stood there, stunned. The sixteen-year-old boy had an innocent expression on his face, seemingly still pondering what Ye Ge had just said: "Lord Ye Ge, what you said is so profound, I don't quite understand it..."

Ye Ge smiled and reached out to pat his shoulder: "You'll understand when you grow up."

“Although I don’t quite understand,” Arthur tilted his head and pondered, “it feels like it’s some kind of extremely vicious and despicable scheme.”

Having served Yege for so many years, he knew the master he served very well.

This person's schemes are the most intricate, the kind that are unfathomable.

"Of course, that's the most vicious, treacherous, and filthy scheme in the world." Ye Ge sighed, feeling guilty and remorseful for three seconds, before starting to lecture him: "You must never learn from that, or you'll end up like me, a source of all evil, understand?"

Arthur nodded seriously: "Yes, I understand. I don't need to become bad, I just need to be loyal to Lord Night Song."

"Good boy." Ye Ge patted his head with satisfaction.

Bai Xueling: "..."
