Universe’s Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 369 - 368: No Money to Support the Troops
Chapter 369: Chapter 368: No Money to Support the Troops
Young Marshal Star.
In the Marshal’s office.
Qian Wanyang was reporting to Wang Hao, “Boss, we just received an order from above, asking you to lead the army to resist the Alien Race’s attack within five days.”
“Five days!?” Wang Hao frowned. “Could we recruit the remaining soldiers within five days!?”
Qian Wanyang thought for a moment and nodded. “It shouldn’t be a problem. Principal Su Mu has already made arrangements, and those people are willing to join. Moreover, with the boss willing to offer the Inheritance Crystal and the small life Potion, I think no one could resist this temptation. However, our military funds will only last for two months…”
“Two months?” Wang Hao was stunned. “Didn’t we just raid the den of the DY terrorist organization!? Why do we only have enough for two months!?”
...
Qian Wanyang gave a bitter smile. “Boss, we have eleven Courage Battleships, twenty thousand Third-level Mechas, and a hundred thousand small attack spacecraft to maintain. Plus, we have to pay salaries to a million Ace Army soldiers, in addition to the consumption of various missiles, wear and tear of equipment, and regular training needs. These two months are barely covered by cutting it very close…”
Wang Hao scratched his chin, muttering, “It seems we must have stable income; otherwise, how can we afford an army, let alone dominate the world!?”
Qian Wanyang was stunned. Was the boss planning to cheat and deceive again!?

Wang Hao thought for a moment, “Get Principal Zhong Li over here. I need to tell him how to make money quickly.”
Qian Wanyang couldn’t help but remind, “Boss, times have changed. It doesn’t matter what we did before, but now you’ve just won over those old soldiers’ hearts. If you stir up any scandals, it might affect the morale!”
Wang Hao rolled his eyes, “This time, I am going into legitimate business, not taking any shady paths. Besides, how could those crooked methods sustain an army in the long run!?”
Qian Wanyang thought about it, feeling that made sense.
Previously, although Wang Hao made a lot of money, after making money once, there would be no second chance, as it was a one-time deal.
But to have money and to maintain an army consistently, he has to do legitimate business.
Yet, Qian Wanyang was somewhat puzzled: did Wang Hao really have a quick way to make money through legitimate business?
Before long, Principal Zhong Li arrived at the Marshal’s office.
Wang Hao sat in his chair, with Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao, two of his protégés, standing behind him like protectors.
Principal Zhong Li looked at Wang Hao with a helpless expression. He thought resigning to follow Wang Hao would mean a joyous life.
But who knew, right after he resigned planning to recruit soldiers for Wang Hao, Su Mu revealed his identity and successfully snatched his job, recruiting a large group of high-quality Ace Army soldiers for Wang Hao.
Consequently, he was assigned to the kitchen to help manage the soldiers’ food.
Being the reputable Tianbei University’s Eleventh Branch principal, but ending up managing the kitchen—how could anyone reconcile with such disparity!?
Wang Hao waved his hand. “Principal, don’t look so distressed. We had limited manpower initially, and since you were free, that’s why I assigned you to the kitchen. See, isn’t it immediately a significant duty when I’ve got people!?”
Principal Zhong Li rolled his eyes. Originally, the same promises were made to coax him to resign, but who knew what would happen the next second.
Thus, dealing with this tricky “little fox,” one should not harbor too many expectations.
“Young Marshal, what did you ask me to come for!?” asked Principal Zhong Li.
Qian Wanyang quickly said, “Our boss called the Principal over to help manage the lifeblood of the Young Marshal Army’s business.”
“Business lifeblood!?” Principal Zhong Li instantly became serious, knowing that managing such a level of business meant absolute importance!
Chen Yao said, “Principal, whether our Young Marshal Army’s supply can keep up depends on you.”
“Don’t worry, even if it costs me my life, I won’t let our soldiers at the front go hungry,” Principal Zhong Li assured, pounding his chest.
Wang Hao nodded satisfiedly, “I plan to do business in longevity medicine for the elderly. This is the economic lifeline of our Young Marshal Army, and absolutely no mistakes can occur.”
“Longevity medicine for the elderly!?” Principal Zhong Li was momentarily stunned; that sounded somewhat like health products for seniors!
Wang Hao sighed, “Nowadays, young people are too extravagant, without savings. Hoping to make money off them is simply exhausting, and middle-aged people, knowing how hard it is to earn money, are incredibly stingy. Making money from them is truly laborious. But elderly people not only have saved money all their lives, they are also willing to spend money on life-saving purchases. We cater to their likes, and we can definitely make a big profit.”
Qian Wanyang asked, “Do you mean, boss, that we sell the small life Potion!?”
Wang Hao nodded. “I believe no elderly person could resist the temptation of the small life Potion.”
Chen Yao hesitated, then said, “But where do we get so many pharmacists? You know, currently, Potion Guild’s pharmacists are busy concocting potions for frontline soldiers; they simply don’t have time to make small life Potions…”
Wang Hao gave Chen Yao a disdainful look. “Think broadly. We don’t need so many pharmacists; just one or two will do.”
“One or two!?”
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao both exclaimed in surprise. How could one or two pharmacists sustain an army, and an Ace Army at that!?
Principal Zhong Li ventured to ask, “Young Marshal, you aren’t planning to dilute it with water, are you!?”
As soon as those words were spoken, Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao suddenly understood. This plan was definitely not impossible, as Wang Hao had previously sold saltwater as the Dimension Potion to college students.
“Look, that’s what you call talent, instantly getting it, very good!” Wang Hao carefully appraised Principal Zhong Li, smiling, “I plan to dilute a bottle of small life Potion with a ton of water. That way, we won’t have to worry about insufficient product quantities.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the three men present were dumbfounded; the Marshal was as unscrupulous and mercenary as ever…
Mixing a ton of water with one bottle of small life Potion, how effective could that possibly be!?
Qian Wanyang advised, “Boss, if diluted, the effect will definitely not be apparent; this needs careful consideration.”
Chen Yao also repeatedly advised, “Yes, boss! The small life Potion has a miraculous effect, making money would definitely be no problem, but if we ruin our reputation by diluting it, it would be difficult to continue this business in the future!”
“I wouldn’t know that?” Wang Hao gave Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao a disdainful look, “Remember, when doing business with the elderly, not only do we need to play tricks and cut costs, but we also need to avoid legal risks, making us appear extremely legitimate, certainly not a fraudulent product.”
“So how do we do it?” Principal Zhong Li asked curiously…
