Castle of Black Iron

To be honest, Zhang Tie's plan was not complicated; actually, it combined the first plan and the third plan proposed by Boss Du.

As for the second plan, in Zhang Tie's opinion, it would never work.

If Zhang Tie was not the butler of the fishing ground of Whitedragon Gulf, of course, there wouldn't be a problem with this plan. Zhang Tie couldn't force others to do anything; however, with this new identity, if he accepted the second plan, it would be a bit silly move——Whitedragon Gulf belongs to Zhang Tie. The others came to his fishing ground for fishing spike shrimps freely; however, Zhang Tie bought their spike shrimps and set them free in Whitedragon Gulf so that they could catch them again...

This sounded like playing house. Additionally, Zhang Tie played the most foolish role inside this game.

Of course, this plan wouldn't work. Even though Zhang Tie didn't care about money, he didn't want to be mocked by Bian Heng.

Zhang Tie's plan was simple, namely, forbid fishers to catch spike shrimps in Whitedragon Gulf in the future. Meanwhile, let Boss Du organize people to purchase more spike shrimps in those bigger harbors outside Emperor NvWa City and set them free.

The domain that Emperor NvWa was in covered over 800 square km land. Emperor NvWa City was in the center of this domain. It was Yaohai Ocean in the west. Whitedragon Gulf was only a small part of Yaohai Ocean deepening into Emperor NvWa City. Additionally, those regions outside Emperor NvWa City also belonged to the sphere of influence of Emperor NvWa City. Many people also lived outside Emperor NvWa City, where there were cities and towns too. However, these cities and towns couldn't match Emperor NvWa City in prosperity.

Those bigger harbors mentioned by Boss Du were in the west of Emperor NvWa City. After leaving Emperor Nvwa City from Whitedragon Gulf, people would be able to reach there by sea. Additionally, it was not too far away.

When people were forbidden to catch spike shrimps in Whitedragon Gulf, only 10-odd families in Tigerback Town who lived on shrimping by shrimp nets, cages and ancestral shrimping skills would be influenced; because spike shrimp was just an affiliated sea product for most of the fishers. But it was easy to fix their loss——let Boss Du employ them, rent their fishing boats and pay them more money for setting free spike shrimps than the profits of selling shrimping.

This was a perfect solution. It guaranteed the basic living of those people who survived on the ocean and enabled Zhang Tie to take fruits of redemption from the gratitude of spike shrimps constantly. Additionally, it could also enhance the efficiency of setting free spike shrimps.

Zhang Tie only needed to pay Boss Du. Then, Boss Du could make an arrangement about the following steps. If Boss Du couldn't manage these people or complete such a simple thing, his fish store couldn't have reached such a scale.

With enough money, the identity of the butler of Tigerback Mountain, and the soul seed in the mind sea of Boss Du, did Zhang Tie need to worry about anything? Of course not.

Therefore, before finishing a cup of tea water, Zhang Tie had told his plan to Boss Du and left Du's Fish Store and the fish market.

Despite being the butler in Tigerback Mountain, Zhang Tie didn't let Boss Du do that for him without any compensation. He paid Boss Du 30% of the total value of the spike shrimps that he set free.

If Boss Du could set free 10,000 blue crystal coins' spike shrimps, he and his fish store could get 3,000 blue crystal coins as a compensation, which was almost equal to the profits of this fish store a day. Additionally, this business was of the lowest risk and the largest sustainability. It was no exaggeration to say that it implied Du's Fish Store's good luck. If Zhang Tie declared this condition to the public, those bosses of fish stores in Tigerback Town might scramble for this business fiercely.

To be honest, it was just a matter of money. However, Zhang Tie didn't lack money at all. Besides Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace which served as his cash dispenser, even the wealth that he robbed from red and blue devils could startle many clans in Motian Realm as it couldn't be used up for 100,000 years. The expenditure for setting free spike shrimps could almost be ignored.

Zhang Tie told Boss Du to start doing it these days. On the 15th day of this month, he would pay Boss Du some start-up funds. Then, he would leave Du's Fish Store. Of course, he didn't receive the bag of crystal coins that Boss Du intended to return to him.

As for people in Motian Realm, these crystal coins meant wealth; however, as for Zhang Tie, they were just beautiful and meaningless stones. This was an economical way for him to eat fruits at a steady frequency.

It was very worthwhile for him to do this although it took him 4 hours in the morning. Therefore, Zhang Tie felt pretty good. Humming a tune, he left the fish market.

Unexpectedly, when he reached the end of the fish market, he saw a tough man coming out of another store called Whitedragon Fish Store.

The tough man with whisker was sturdy. With a case in hand, he was not easy to be trifled with. Of course, he was Uncle Guan.

Last time, when Zhang Tie went to look for Tang Mei, he didn't see Uncle Guan. Unexpectedly, they encountered here. To be honest, Tigerback Town was not large.

"Ah, Uncle Guan!" Zhang Tie greeted that tough man with a smile.

"Mister Jin, you're also here..." Uncle Guan became shortly stunned as he couldn't imagine that he could encounter Zhang Tie here.

"Uncle Guan, are you here for food ingredients?" Zhang Tie asked as he took a look at that case in Uncle Guan's hand. The case was sealed and made of metal. At the sight of it, Zhang Tie knew it was used to contain medicine.

"I'm here to buy some medicines for Miss. The fresh purple horseshoe crabs and pearl shells are all medicines. I could only buy fresh ones from this fish market..." Uncle Guan explained with a smile too. Although Uncle Guan thought that Zhang Tie wanted to approach their miss like Aunt Wu at the beginning, during these days when they were in Tigerback Town, they found that Zhang Tie was a "gentleman", who didn't approach their Miss at all. Therefore, Uncle Guan treated Zhang Tie much better. "Oh, when you came to Peacecoming Courtyard last time, Miss and I were both absent. After coming back, Aunt Wu told us about that. Miss even wanted to appreciate you in person when there's an opportunity!"

As they talked, they left the fish market and entered the town.

"Uncle Guan, it's my pleasure. Additionally, I've not helped Miss Tang cure her disease even now!" Zhang Tie said bashfully. As Bian Heng was a sage-level knight and proficient in medical skills, Zhang Tie really didn't have a say in front of him.

"Mister Jin, it's already enough for you to concern about Miss Tang!" After saying that, Uncle Guan glanced at Zhang Tie from his head to his toe as he asked with a bit confusion and hesitation, "You... you've really got a job in Tigerback Mountain..."

To be honest, Uncle Guan didn't believe that Zhang Tie could find this job in Tigerback Mountain within such a short period of time even now. Many people even scrambled for being a cleaner in Tigerback Mountain.

"I'm in charge of a fishing ground just like managing a vegetable garden for Bian Heng. It's not a good job. But I'm free every day. Therefore, I took a look over here..." Zhang Tie said casually.

"Mister Jin, you're really talented. It's very difficult to find a job in Tigerback Mountain!" Uncle Guan sighed.

"Oh, is Miss Tang better recently?"

"There're many doctors in Tigerback Town; some of them are famous doctors in other places across Motian Realm. We've invited them to take a look at her disease. They made some prescriptions for her; she's receiving medical treatment..."

Uncle Guan didn't mention about the effects of the medical treatments. Zhang Tie knew that they must not work. If cancer could be cured by doctors easily, Bian Heng would not have put on airs in front of Zhang Tie.

"Miss Tang is fortunate; I think God will bless her!" Zhang Tie condoled Uncle Zhong.

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Uncle Guan revealed a reluctant smile. Closely after that, he pulled Zhang Tie to the roadside as he suddenly became shameful, "I've got one thing to ask for your help, Mister Jin..."

"Please go ahead, Uncle Guan." Zhang Tie asked as his curiosity was aroused.

"Mister Jin, can you give a favor to my Miss..."

"Err... how?"

"My Miss is intelligent. As she has been sick for many years, she has read a lot of medical books and communicated with many doctors. Her medical skills could even match many famous doctors. However, she never showed off. Yesterday, we received news that Bian Heng would select his disciple in the public at the foot of Tigerback Mountain next morning. My miss wants to have a try... err... Mister Jin, do you know... or have you heard about some contents of the test in Tigerback Mountain..."

Uncle Guan was really embarrassed by stammering that as his face turned red.

Zhang Tie was really shocked upon hearing this. Previously he didn't care about the affairs in Tigerback Mountain at all. Unexpectedly, soon after Bian Heng came back yesterday, he had wanted to select a disciple through test today. What was more, Tang Meng also wanted to have a try. Zhang Tie had not imagined that Tang Mei could have such a resolution despite being so weak physically.

It was Tang Mei's another way to save herself by becoming Bian Heng's disciple.

A seriously-illed girl with such a strong will was really admirable.

Given Zhang Tie's astonished look, he might not even know that Bian Heng was going to select a disciple; therefore the bit of hope in Uncle Guan's eyes gradually faded away. Uncle Guan could understand it, 'How could a commoner in Tigerback Mountain know the contents of Bian Heng's test? If even Zhang Tie has known it, everyone else in the tigerback Mountain must have known it. It seems that I've really been too reckless...'

Zhang Tie replied with a bitter smile, "Err... it's convenient for me to access to Tigerback Mountain. But I always lived behind Tigerback Mountain. I really don't know about it. As for the contents of the test, I'm afraid that only Bian Heng himself knows it. If I get an opportunity to know the contents, I will definitely inform her in advance..."

"Thank you so much, Mister Jin..."

No matter what, as Zhang Tie had such a kind attitude, what else could Uncle Guan say?
