I Am A Prodigy-Chapter 674: He Who Is The King of Warriors

10 million per episode would only total up to 200 million—since there were only 20 episodes planned for iPartment’s second season—and that did not take into account the various shooting costs. Nevertheless, iPartment’s value was not only limited to that as there were also sole internet broadcasting rights and so on.
Ye Lingchen took a deep breath. 200 million may look like a lot, but it was too small a figure for him. If he wanted to develop Miracle Island, not even two billion was enough, let alone 200 million.
He had to earn more money quickly so that Miracle Island’s developments could be done as soon as possible.
At the moment, he had four major projects that enabled him to make money.
The first was pharmaceuticals, which was undoubtedly the fastest way to make huge profits. Although he did not plan to set high prices for the rabies cure. He planned to manufacture health supplements and cosmetic products once the pharmaceutical factory was completed. Both those products were certainly going to be profitable.
The cosmetic products could be launched under the Y Cosmetics brand and it would officially have products under its own brand, as make-up services were never going to be as profitable as the products themselves.
The second was to film TV series and movies, train their own stars, and receive various fees from endorsement and advertising. It was undoubtedly one of the fastest ways to make money. Through talks with Xiao Feifei, Chen Chichi and the others, they were not only planning to shoot iPartment’s second season, but have also received invitations from major advertisers for advertisements. It was the same with Li Jing too. Since they were all signed under Xiao Feifei’s name, the earnings from advertising would have to be divided among the company.
The third was Wanrong Technology. The smart car system did not take long to be built and would almost definitely be a hit. A multitude of other high-tech products would also be manufactured later on, making it easy for him to earn money.
The fourth was his live streaming, but doing so would incur heavy expenses. A proper calculation would reveal that it raked in the least amount of money, and it was only when it hit the market that he could stand to make a big profit.
In fact, it was rather easy for him to earn millions by his abilities alone, but that sum was nothing to him. He did not bother to actually earn it and would rather be the big boss who does practically nothing.
He could care less about it if not for gaining more popularity.
The thought of his popularity made him think about the Void Realm. There were benefits to it, but there were also great threats. With his popularity increasing at a much faster rate, it was important to upgrade his strength as soon as possible and look for an opportunity to pay the place a visit.
“Lingchen, who are those people?” Xiao Feifei had already noticed the group of warriors and could not help but ask.
“They’re actors too.”
“Actors?” Xiao Feifei was taken aback and never expected the actors to be that dedicated. “Oh yes, you haven’t told me what you’re going to film. Is it really a military TV series?”
“Mm, the name is Drawing Sword. Have a look at the script later and familiarize the crew with it,” Ye Lingchen smiled and said.
“Drawing Sword.”
Xiao Feifei mumbled to herself. She really was quite surprised that it was really military themed. “Looks like military dramas are going to be popular again.”
Military TV series had a small audience and filming it was extremely difficult. Many netizens have recently poured plenty of ridicule on such TV dramas, gave nicknames to them, and reduced such dramas into post-meal jokes.
With Ye Lingchen’s popularity, it would definitely attract a lot of attention if he shot a military drama. It would certainly turn out to be a big hit if it was filmed well!
She looked at Ye Lingchen and smiled. How could a script of his ever be unpopular?
Li Jing and Ali were equally excited. Their time had finally come after spending a short off-screen hiatus since Huo Yuanjia’s filming concluded.
“Li Jing, you’ll be playing the protagonist. Ali will be a foreigner. Think about how you’d like to do the fight scenes. It has to be exciting!” Ye Lingchen said.
Ye Lingchen still had to guide them when filming Huo Yuanjia, but since Li Jing and Ali’s skills had progressed very far since then, he was more than happy to leave it to them.
“Sure!” Li Jing and Ali assured with a grin.
“Chairman Ye, are those runners warriors?” Li Jing asked suddenly. “Their physique seems to be much better than ordinary people.”
“Yes.” Ye Lingchen nodded. “It means you can add more moves. They’re good with the basics. Also, there’s no need to hold back when fighting.”
Li Jing nodded and said, “I don’t think they’re that strong.”
Ye Lingchen glanced at him. It stood to reason that the group of people were far from Li Jing’s level. After all, Ye Lingchen taught Li Jing the Eight Extremities Brute Training and the latter’s strength was almost the same as that of Ali’s. Those warriors could never compare to him.
Li Jing felt Ye Lingchen’s gaze and scratched his head embarrassedly. “Ali told me that you guys met a very powerful warrior that day. Ali even said he’s no match for the guy.”
“He is a master, and there are probably a lot of them in this world.” Ye Lingchen nodded, then added, “Who knows, a master like that might be born among those guys.”
The families in the Sichuan-Tibet region were all derived from sects. Many sects were recorded throughout China and they more or less had some descendants. The manifestation of Hell’s Gate meant that there would be greater importance attached to the usefulness of those descendants. Furthermore, masters would surely exist somewhere inside the Warrior’s Department!
Qin Baichuan and the others were only representatives. They walked among the common folk, but they seldom reveal their true strength in front of them. In fact, Li Jing and Ali’s current strength was likely on par with that of the Qin Baichuan and the other chief instructors.
“That can’t be right? Why haven’t we heard of them before? Have all the masters been living in seclusion?” Ali and Li Jing looked at Ye Lingchen in surprise.
“You’ll find out in the future. For now, remember to practice well,” Ye Lingchen said in passing and walked straight to the group of warriors.
At that point, some in the group were already tired and fell on the ground, paralyzed. The run had pushed them to their limit.
“Anyone who spoke during the run, stand up on your own accord,” Ye Lingchen looked at them and ordered.
The group of warriors looked at each other and hesitated.
“What’s wrong? I’m not even going to talk about how tired you all are after this short little run. Are you really not going to admit what you’ve done? Your training in the Warrior’s Department falls way below the standard!” Ye Lingchen said.
A trace of shame flashed across everyone’s faces.
“I spoke!”
“Me too!”
“And me. There is nothing I won’t dare to admit.”
One after another, 23 out of the 86 people admitted.
Ye Lingchen nodded. In the end, they were still brave enough to come forward. Ye Lingchen’s eyes and ears were extremely sharp and he remembered those who spoke.
“You admitted it very boldly, I see. Are you that proud of talking?” Ye Lingchen’s face sank and he immediately said, “During this period, the twenty-three of you will be responsible for cleaning the toilet!”
The 23 individuals had a sullen expression but did not dare to defy him. “Roger that!”
Wu Yue shook his head and was more than thankful. He knew it would end up like that and felt relieved for holding his urge to speak.
However, Ye Lingchen said again, “He who is the King of Warriors will be responsible for supervising you.”
‘He who is the King of Warriors?’
Whoosh!
Everyone turned to look at Wu Yue, whose catchphrase was none other than ‘I want to be the King of Warriors’.
Wu Yue’s expression soured suddenly and he nearly vomited blood when Ye Lingchen looked at him.
It was completely undeserved and uncalled for!
‘Damn it, isn’t supervising them just the same as cleaning the toilet?’
