It turned out that the Peacock Monk was indeed much more professional than Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan's complex operation only extracted less than a thousand Luck from over thirty thousand refugees, whereas the Peacock Monk simply erected a statue for people to worship, which earned Wei Yuan over three thousand Luck.
From past experiences, the Luck that could be contributed was already nearly exhausted. The vast majority had no Luck at all, and there were very few who had Luck but were not willing to contribute it. Wei Yuan decided not to bother with them anymore.
It was proven that this small number of people's Luck was scant and hard to obtain. Instead of fixating on their meager Luck, it was better to bring in a few more batches of refugees.
