Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Once the war stops, all industries will definitely be affected. If we help them in the name of the God of Wealth at this time, wouldn't the God of Wealth's popularity and incense offerings be easily restored? Isn't this the perfect opportunity he has been waiting for?

Having been in Donghai Town for three hundred years, aside from making the name "Fireworker" more famous, the God of Wealth route has remained mediocre, without any good opportunities to open up.

The current ceasefire presents a perfect advertising opportunity. If I can seize this chance, I'm sure it will make me an instant success.

After hanging a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the door, Li Shundao stayed in the room for three whole days before coming out. Looking at the plan in his hand, he suppressed his joy. Now all that was left was to execute it.

He took out the tools he had prepared beforehand, a wooden statue modeled after Li Shundao, with only the face blank and no facial features depicted.

Besides the statues of gods, there were also portraits... I've had these things in my hands for quite a long time, but I haven't had a chance to use them.

Then he took out several storage bags, which were filled with copper coins that were round on the outside and square on the inside, with the words "God of Wealth" printed on them. These were the magical artifacts that Li Shundao had prepared for himself, to be used as incense money in the future, to promote and spread his fame.

After packing his things, Li Shundao changed his demeanor and left the farmhouse.

Before long, we arrived at the commercial street of Donghai Town, which is lined with shops of all sizes. Here, there is nothing you can't buy if you can't imagine it.

After walking for a while, I stopped in front of a "Fire Love" shop and went inside.

"Welcome, senior. This is our list of pills. You can take a look first. Just tell me which pills you want to buy and I'll get them for you."

The waiter wasn't surprised to see Li Shundao dressed in black and masked. After all, he'd seen all sorts of people in the world, and being a waiter was one of the perks of it.

"I'm looking for your manager. Tell him to come see me," Li Shundao said, taking out a black waist tag and tossing it to the waiter.

The waiter reached out and looked at the man's hand. His expression changed from calm to extremely respectful. "Sir, please come in and sit down. I'll go and inform the manager."

Li Shundao nodded, stepped inside, and appeared extremely familiar with the place.

No sooner had he sat down than a portly man rushed in. Upon seeing Li Shundao, he was overjoyed and stepped forward to bow to him. “Sir, you’ve finally arrived! I haven’t seen you in a while, I’ve missed you terribly.”

Li Shundao casually removed his mask, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then raised an eyebrow at Qiao An, a fat man weighing around 400 pounds. Every time he saw him, he felt a sense of incongruity; it was a real waste of the name "Qiao An." "What's wrong? Something's up at the shop?"

"No, how could anything happen? With me, Qiao An, here, even if something happens, it's a good thing. You have no idea how popular the store is right now. It's just that I've been missing you a bit," Qiao An wiped the sweat from his brow, his bloated face revealing a few slits—that was his smile.

Li Shundao shuddered and snorted irritably, "If you talk like this again next time, I'll make you go back to school and start over. Look how fat you've gotten. Hurry up and sit down."

When Joan heard about being retrained, his whole body trembled. He quickly sat down in his extra-large chair, which creaked and groaned as he moved.

Li Shundao's lips twitched, and he was filled with regret. How could he have chosen such a shopkeeper?

"My lord, let me first tell you about the recent situation of the stores. The spirit beast store has received a total of 450,000 demon general corpses, 230,000 demon commander corpses, and 36,000 demon master corpses this year, and sold..."

The weapon-refining shop has refined 109,000 mortal-grade spiritual weapons this year, and the day after tomorrow...

Alchemy shop…

Li Shundao listened attentively, nodding occasionally. He glanced at the fat Qiao An out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself, "Every fat guy is a potential star!"

Three hundred years ago, shortly after Chen Fusheng passed away, Li Shundao began to ponder how to spread his divine authority. The God of Wealth route has four signature abilities: attracting treasures, receiving valuables, attracting wealth, and bringing good fortune.

Li Shundao's innate supernatural ability is summoning treasures, which is one of the most powerful of the four supernatural abilities. Since it is innate, it only requires more training after birth, and its power will automatically increase after mastering it.

He hadn't figured out where to start with the remaining three supernatural abilities.

Until that day, while strolling on the street, he ran into Fatty Qiao An. At that time, he was not fat yet, weighing only about 200 pounds. He was a butcher who owned his own slaughterhouse, specializing in slaughtering and dissecting demon bodies and making a living by selling spiritual flesh.

However, the day Li Shundao met him happened to be the day he closed his business.

At that time, with the outbreak of the East China Sea Battle, there were countless sea monster corpses, and the price of spirit meat plummeted. Major restaurants began to purchase directly from the monster hunters. Small shops like his, without these big customers, had no choice but to close down.

However, what surprised Li Shundao was that Qiao An was not sad about closing the door; instead, she breathed a sigh of relief and her face was full of fighting spirit.

This intrigued him, and after chatting with him, he learned that the slaughterhouse had been passed down from his grandfather, making them a family of butchers.

But unlike his father, he didn't want to be a butcher for the rest of his life. He had his own dream: to open his own restaurant. However, under his father's pressure, he had no choice but to obey.

Now, things are really messed up. The slaughterhouse has been forced to close down, and there's nothing he can do about it. It's like his family has given up all hope of ever returning home.

He planned to go out and work as a demon hunter for a few years, and once he had raised enough money, he would come back and open his own restaurant.

Li Shundao was inspired by Qiao An's idea. Instead of thinking about how to influence others and get them to recognize him as a god of wealth, you first need to have the capital to be recognized by others. What could be a faster way than opening your own shop?

When he becomes the boss, no one can stop him from wanting anything. Word spreads like wildfire... and he'll gain influence. As for the possibility of losing money in business, Li Shundao hasn't considered that issue.

If the God of Wealth can't even protect his own business, what kind of God of Wealth is he? He should just change careers as soon as possible.

Next, Li Shundao used his silver tongue to successfully persuade Qiao An to join his entrepreneurial journey.

And Qiao An was indeed a management genius. They first used his family's slaughterhouse, modified it, and opened a spirit beast shop, specializing in buying and selling the corpses of sea monsters.

Then, he took over a restaurant in the bustling city. With memories of his past life, he casually came up with a few marketing ideas. After the restaurant was renovated, it became an instant hit as soon as it opened, thanks to its high-end and classy style.

With Li Shundao's financial support, along with his wealth-attracting supernatural abilities and exclusive secret recipes, a catering tycoon emerged in Donghai Town over the next three hundred years, providing a complete catering service from acquiring spirit beasts to operating restaurants and hotels. His wealth-attracting supernatural abilities also became more powerful.

At this time, Li Shundao's ambitions grew larger and larger. They began to get involved in the weapon crafting and alchemy industries. He was very familiar with weapon crafting, and although he had learned some alchemy from Liu Lian, he was still at the apprentice level.

Later, he tried inviting her to stay, and to his surprise, she readily agreed.

Liu Lian's joining not only revitalized the alchemy shop, but her personal connections in Donghai Town and the Yunying Zhenjun she represented also provided Li Shundao with tremendous support.

Subsequently, the "Fire Love" Group began to expand in a tiger-like manner. Under the clear instructions of Chairman Li Shundao, it continued to maintain its leading position in the catering industry, with catering as the main body and other industries as branches, accelerating the pace of industrial layout and carrying out diversified development.
