Abyss Summoner

Chapter 540 - 527: Dominated by Fear

The main source of income for this city, apart from trade exchanges, is an arena.

This place attracts countless Abyss creatures, with various demons and abyss species joining the arena every day. To maintain its prosperity, Jinbi Gan offers generous prizes, among which there are even appearances of Enchanting Demons.

Jinbi Gan’s name, much like his personality, is that of a natural businessman. It must be said, this city has been impressively developed under his influence. Numerous shops, opened by different species, line the streets, and even the traditionally rigid Dwarves have been invited to open a few weapon shops.

The Dwarves’ forging skills are undoubtedly powerful, thanks to their racial talent. Some demons spend half their life savings just to acquire a suitable weapon.

Of course, while these weapons are of decent quality, the crafting process is extremely slow, often taking months or even years to produce a powerful weapon.

The process can be shortened, but due to the crafting techniques, durability and destructive power would be greatly diminished.

Therefore, weapons forged by Order would become strong competitors to the Dwarves. Chen Feng had already considered opening trade routes in the Abyss long ago.

However, at Flora’s previous stronghold, most of the residents were demons. For a chaotic bunch, few understand the concept of equivalent exchange. Even if a store were opened, it wouldn’t be long before it was destroyed by demons.

But this city is different...

The goblins, possessing considerable intelligence, have, over time, built a stronghold where, although many demons are present, most of these creatures congregate in the arena. Shops, however, are run by intelligent beings such as Dark Elves, Dwarves, and even Centaurs.

This is a diverse city. Capturing it would undoubtedly allow Chen Feng to find a business opportunity in the Abyss.

Moreover, although the goblins are intelligent, they were born and raised in the Abyss. When it comes to entertainment, no species in the world surpasses humans.

Chen Feng has already planned; once he could possess a free stronghold, many plans can be implemented. It’s not just about the arena; monotonous fighting and killing will eventually become tiresome. What Chen Feng wants to do is turn this place into the biggest cash-generating hub.

Lotteries, race tracks, entertainment clubs, football, basketball;

These plans, when implemented, would cause a storm in the stronghold. Indeed, what Chen Feng wants is cultural export.

How do you conquer a force? Physically? Land? No! Only by conquering its civilization can you truly subjugate them.

Imagine when half-beastmen and demons are running on the green field, much like arena activities, different forms of competitions would be held every day thereafter.

Besides the competitions, both demons and dark creatures can participate in betting to buy lottery tickets with wealth.

The arena is a stage for the strong.

Only the fiercest demons can compete. As for the goblins and Dwarves, they have no chance to participate in such events, let alone win the generous prizes at the end.

But the lottery is different. Not only the strong, even a humble Timid Demon can become wealthy through purchases. It’s obvious how much attention this will draw once it starts.

And those Enchanting Demons are too scattered, mostly lingering in bars awaiting patrons. What if Chen Feng builds a club? Eventually, more Dark Elves and Blood Elves can be recruited, with a beauty ranking established. Accompanying once could yield rewards that increase several fold or even tenfold.

Demons love alcohol, that hazy feeling fascinates them. Chen Feng once asked a Dark Elf to bring him a bottle of Abyss wine to try, but who would have thought that those so-called fine wines were all sour, almost like they were spoiled, making the mouth go numb.

The brewing technique is quite simple. During the apocalypse, issues with personnel and food prevented the creation of fine wine. But now it’s different. As food becomes abundant, the idea of brewing wine re-emerges in Chen Feng’s mind.

No need for blending; pure brewed alcohol would be more warmly received by the demons. By then, tasting wine made from grain and then tasting that sour gutter water, demons would lose all interest.

Chen Feng has done all this with his purpose in mind.

Exactly.

He wants to build his own commercial city here. The saying "wool comes from sheep" holds true; although demons can gain wealth through luck, in the end, it must be spent within this stronghold. This applies to the lucky ones such as lottery winners or arena champions. As for those with no gains, it’s all input with no return.

Chen Feng wants to slowly erode their inner world.

After staying in such a stronghold for a long time, how many can tolerate going to other monotonous ones?

In the next step, when demons and dark species have no way out, Chen Feng will issue a recruitment order. Of course, ordinary demons are not included, only targeting strong entities of silver rank and above.

What Chen Feng offers are mere concepts and alcohol, but what he gains is the allegiance of countless strong beings. No matter how you view it, this is a sure-win business.

Moreover, this city serves not only demons and dark creatures but even Devils can enjoy free trade and consumption here.

Chen Feng is not a demon and harbors no battle emotions. In fact, he is merely a profiteering businessman. Any items or beings useful to him become recruitment targets.

This place will become a transit hub, where ores, weapons, and special products from the Abyss will flow continuously into the human world. In addition, the recruitment of High-tier Demons and Devils is one of the most important plans.

What kind of chemical reaction would occur if Flora’s force merged with Chen Feng’s modern wisdom is unknown. But one thing is certain: Chen Feng’s goal is not only this city of freedom; it is merely a radiation point for the human world. Chen Feng will use this point to slowly expand outward.

Surrounding this, blood plasma like a cage completely encloses all the inhabitants within this stronghold.

The chaotic flames of the Abyss will never be extinguished. In the near future, both demons and dark species will feel the mysterious power coming from the human world.

These creatures that thrive in slaughter will experience the fear of being controlled by Chen Feng!
