“What happened afterwards?” Dudian calmly asked as he took a sip of coffee.
The war had temporarily came to an end. The commercial and the residential districts were devastated. The outer edge of the golden wall was the most affected by the barbarian invasion. Even the households of the residents had heavy losses by the golden wall. The manors were burned. Everything had to be rebuilt.
The rain had affected the war too. Most of the regular soldiers had fallen ill because of the continues rain which stopped after several days. Fortunately the legendary steam rifle was invented and even the reserve troops were able to use it to force back the barbarians.
Ten days of continuous war had destroyed countless families.
There were numerous victims but also large number of people who had made wealth. There were consortia who took the opportunity to gain wealth because of the war. They raised the prices for military supplies and everything else. In just ten days they had made as much as wealth they had acquired in the last ten years. Of course there were some wealthy people who had gone bankrupt and become ordinary people.
The other consortia received the news that Dudian was back. They sent messengers with gifts.
At the same time the reporters from different newspapers came over to interview Dudian but all of them were declined.
Dudian wrote to Patriarch Fulin to set up a newspaper agency. He was going to give all his future interviews to their own newspaper. It would greatly enhance the sales of their own newspaper.
In addition, the best way to shape the public opinion was to rely on media. The newspapers were the only means of the propaganda in this era.
Old Fulin had excellent ability as he registered the newspaper by the afternoon. Moreover he was able to recruit staff from other non-consortium newspaper by giving high salaries. The name of the newspaper was very simple. It was called ‘New World News’.
Old Fulin temporarily left the newspaper under Sander’s management. He made sure to contact and talk with printing factories to be able to make the first sale of the ‘New World News’ by the next morning. Because of Old Fulin’s noble identity and Dudian’s identity as a master the most of their problems were solved easily.
Sander led the interview to come and have a chat with Dudian after the dinner.
Dudian sat in the hall next to Sander after the dinner. There was a woman holding a notebook in front of him. There were two young assistants by her side.
“Yes.” Dudian put down the cup of tea and indicated her to began to interview. Of course, the questions had been revised before.
“My dream was to become a master and change the lives of the people with my invention. I want to see a world without poverty and suffering.” Dudian smiled.
“Three points account for talent while seven account for diligence in terms of success.” Dudian calmly replied.
“Wealth doesn’t make people happy.” Dudian said in a serious tone.
“That was my responsibility.” Dudian replied.
“It’s meaningless to complain. They have to build and guard their homes by their own hands.” Dudian responded.
Sidney’s eyes lit up: “Master, do you really think so?
“Do you think I’m kidding?” Dudian laughed.
“No, let’s continue” Dudian added.
Sidney nodded like the chicken pecked the rice and continue the interview.
Alright, I have decided on a novel after reading first 2 chaps. It has everything what TDK has but better! I’m in love with the new novel and hopefully we will publish the translation by the end of this month!
I would like to thank ScowlinArc for pledging 3$ at our PATREON page!
Give eth some love too. That was a super popular kr novel before the tl slowed down and stopped. It has the potential to be one of your main attractions.
dude you decided on a novel after reading 2 chapters ? is that a joke ? thats like judging a book by its cover lol.
Triage can be a good thing sometimes, you only have so much time to spend after all.
You sound like Dudian during the interview.
like what said my fellow reader above, when we have so much options to read, spending 60 chapters to be left with noth but a parody leave you with a bitter taste.
I don’t mind delving into a book for it to turn good, I did it with Zhu Xian (67 chapters) Perfect world (60 chapters) etc… law of the devil just took it too far with the jokes, it took itself way too seriously at the start so the jokes didn’t work for me later.
for a chinese webnovel, it needs a hundred chapter read for a trial and if you don’t backout from that hundre chapters, it means the novel is fine. A KR/Jap needs less than ten.
That’s how bloated a chinese novel is all I’m saying.
as for law of devil, only the names made me turn off my suspension of disbelief but it’s still readable if you ignore how sh*tty the naming system is.
His inner thought was so sad.
ty for the absurdly fast TL!!! btw, can I ask what he new novel is?
Thanks for the chapters ^^ I hope new novel will be good.
