Snap Up A Bargain
Blood Demon City.
This was a large major city controlled by NPCs. As far as one could see, the entire city was gray and blood-colored, with buildings hundreds of meters high towering above the clouds.
At the same time, dark clouds hung over the Blood Demon City, as if the sky was about to collapse, or a downpour was coming at any moment. Even so, the entire city was very prosperous.
It had everything available in the real world, as well as those not existing in the real world
Walking out of the teleportation altar, Li Xiaonian looked at the bustling city and couldn’t help exclaiming in his heart, “The real world is deserted, but here is so prosperous. It almost gives me the illusion that “Star Wind” is the real world.”
At the exit of the teleportation altar. There was a row of tables, on which many recruitment notices hung.
Five or six players from different guilds or gangs stood nearby, proclaiming loudly while giving out leaflets.
“Eagle Guild is recruiting professional players, with a minimum monthly salary of 20 gold coins.”
“Vagrant Alliance is recruiting. Money is not a problem. The stronger the ability, the higher the salary. No cap on wages.
“Beauty, take a look at the leaflet of our guild. If you want to change jobs, consider us.”
…
Suddenly, several salesmen spotted Li Xiaonian at the same time and found that there was no logo on Li Xiaonian’s chest. Their eyes suddenly lit up as if they were hungry cats at the sight of a big fish.
Swoosh~
They all swarmed up at Li Xiaonian.
The first one who arrived was a handsome guy. He said enthusiastically to Li Xiaonian, “Hi, handsome, you haven’t joined a guild yet, right? Come to our Tulip Guild. Our Tulip Guild has the largest number of rich people and provides very attractive salary and benefits, and we will also help members complete one difficult mission every month. Besides, if you join our guild, you’ll receive a settling-in allowance of no less than 20 gold coins. If you are capable, your monthly salary will never be worse than in the real world.”
Just after the handsome guy finished, a woman immediately introduced her guild in a sweet voice, “Handsome, would you consider joining our Eagle Guild. Our guild’s territory is full of monsters, which is perfect for grinding. If you join our Eagle Guild, your upgrade speed will be skyrocketing.”
“Handsome…”
As soon as the third salesman started to speak, Li Xiaonian hurriedly motioned them to stop. “Guys, I am not a rookie, and I already have a power that I want to join, so don’t waste time on me.”
“Handsome, it doesn’t matter. Even if you’re already in a guild, you can jump ship to our guild. There’s nothing wrong with shopping around.” The girl of the Eagle Guild forcibly handed Li Xiaonian a leaflet. “Take a moment to read it and compare carefully. Maybe our Eagle Guild is the best for you.”
“Exactly, take a look at the leaflet of our Tulip Guild too. I bet you’ll change your mind.”
…
Helpless, Li Xiaonian took the hot leaflets and left in a hurry.
Why were the leaflets “hot”?
Because if he wanted to throw them away, he definitely couldn’t let these people see it, or else he might be in trouble.
On the road, cars went back and forth.
Li Xiaonian walked to the main road and proficiently hailed a motorcycle with a passenger-carrying sign.
“Little brother, where are you going?” The motorcyclist was an uncle who was about 50 or 60 years old.
“Blood Demon City Registration Hall.”
“OK, get on the motorcycle.”
“How much is it?”Li Xiaonian asked, not in a hurry to get on the motorcycle.
“Not expensive, only 1 gold coin.” The uncle said without hesitation.
Li Xiaonian’s mouth twitched slightly. Not expensive? This was literally robbing!
“5 copper coins. If you don’t accept the price, I will hail another motorcycle.”
“I thought you were a novice, but obviously you’re not. Okay, 5 copper coins is fine. Get on the motorcycle.” The uncle said, unabashed.
5 copper coins were equivalent to 5 yuan, which was not a low price.
Li Xiaonian didn’t want to waste time, so he got on the uncle’s motorcycle.
Boom!
The uncle stepped on the accelerator, and the motorcycle roared away at great speed.
There was no traffic police in Blood Demon City. As long as you don’t get in an accident, you could even drag your car on the main roads. The uncle was already driving fast, but the others were driving even faster.
One shadow after another whizzed past.
In only four minutes, the motorcycle had arrived at the registration hall of the Blood Demon City.
Li Xiaonian immediately paid 5 copper coins.
When he was about to leave, the uncle said, “Little brother, do you need me to take you back later? I’m sorry for just now, but I have no choice. Now the market is too competitive and the business is hard to do. At my age, I still have to work hard to bring home the bacon. If you still need a ride, pick me.”
Li Xiaonian shook his head and refused. “My friend will pick me up later. I don’t need a ride.”
The uncle nodded and left disappointed.
In fact, Li Xiaonian still needed a ride, but he wouldn’t take this uncle’s motorcycle.
He was not a rookie, and he had seen such things a lot, so he wouldn’t sympathize with the uncle just because he pretended to be pitiful. He wouldn’t trade with dishonest people.
New players didn’t need to come here to register. He came here because he wanted to see if he could snap up a bargain.
The desert outside the Blood Demon City seemed desolate and worthless, but he remembered that there was an underground castle deep underground in the desert.
He didn’t know what precious objects were in the underground castle, but he remembered clearly the discovery of the underground castle caused large-scale wars.
The two most powerful forces in the Blood Demon City, Dragon Academy and Ice and Snow Pavilion fought bloody battles over the castle.
Now, what Li Xiaonian needed to do was to buy the desert, turn it into his private territory, and then slowly dig into it.
“Dear Player, can I help you?”
As soon as he stepped into the registration hall, the female NPC standing at the door asked politely.
“I need to buy a piece of private territory.” Li Xiaonian said.
The female NPC’s eyes lit up and she extended her hand enthusiastically. “Please follow me.”
Li Xiaonian was received warmly as a big customer. He was led into an independent reception room and served with warm tea and free desserts.
After a while, a chubby man who was so fat that he seemed to be able to squeeze out oil appeared.
“Hello, my name is Tu Deli, a small steward. Young Master, at your age, you’re already so rich. You’re really something.”
Tu Deli enthusiastically held Li Xiaonian’s palm.
Li Xiaonian somehow had a feeling of being sexually harassed by this NPC. He shivered and pulled back his hand. “Nice to meet you, my name is June.”
By touching Li Xiaonian’s palm, Tu Deli had judged Li Xiaonian’s strength.
The guy was weak and probably didn’t have much money, so he couldn’t get much pickings out of this guy.
On receiving this information, Tu Deli’s attitude cooled immediately. He took out a map of the Blood Demon City. “Young Master, please take a look at the map. What kind of territory would you like? Red means the area has been sold, and green represents unsold areas. ”
Li Xiaonian took a closer look.
The areas managed by Blood Demon City were very wide. The surrounding areas of Blood Demon City had been purchased by major powers, which were respectively [Dragon Academy], [Ice and Snow Pavilion], [Vagrant Alliance], and [Mountain Sea Peak]. Further out, it was territories of smaller powers.
Even the [Lingjue Guild] established by Ling Baifei’s family, had bought a small territory. However, the territory of his family was almost negligible on the entire map.
The desert he wanted to buy was far away from the Blood Demon City with a distance of a full 1,900 kilometers, and hadn’t yet been purchased by any player.
In order not to expose his purpose, Li Xiaonian put on an indecisive look. “Mr. Tu, which areas are the cheapest?”
Tu Deli couldn’t help giving a “I knew it” look and pointed to the farthest corner of the map. “The farther away from Blood Demon City, the cheaper the price. This area is called Heishuiqu, and you only need to spend 20,000 gold coins to buy it.”
Li Xiaonian shook his head hurriedly. “It’s too far.” As he said, he pointed his finger at the desert on the map. “What about this area? How much?”
“Well, it’s the desert. Although it’s closer to the city, the price isn’t higher. It costs 20,000 gold coins too.”
Li Xiaonian didn’t buy it immediately, but pointed his finger at the unsold area closest to the Blood Demon City. “What about this area?”
“The price of this area is expensive, 1 million gold coins.”
Li Xiaonian showed a shocked expression and shook his head hurriedly. “It’s too expensive, I… I’ll just pick the desert.”
Tu Deli nodded. “Now let me tell you about the rules. After you buy your territory, you’ll still have to pay 10% of the total value of the territory to us every year, which’ll be 2000 gold coins. Besides, Blood Demon city will give you a new-lord protection period. Within three months, other lords cannot declare war on you. After three months, however, they’re no longer subject to this restriction. If you fail to defend your territory, it’ll belong to the victorious party of the war. Are you clear?”
“Yes.” Li Xiaonian nodded.
“Very good. Now pay the money, please.”
Li Xiaonian paid 20,000 gold coins and obtained a lord token and a New-Lord Walkthrough.
Ding…
System: “You’ve purchased a private territory. The news will be announced to the whole city. Do you want to display your name?”
Li Xiaonian clicked ‘No’.
System: “Do you allow players to freely enter your private territory?”
‘No’.
Ding…
Announcement (Blood Demon City): “Announcement is hereby given that a mysterious player bought the desert area, now the desert is a private territory, and no stranger shall trespass.”
Announcement (Blood Demon City): “Announcement is hereby given that a mysterious player bought the desert area, now the desert is a private territory, and no stranger shall trespass.”
…
The announcement was broadcast three times in a row.
Hearing this news, the players in Blood Demon City all swore.
“Fuck, does this guy have money to burn? Why did he buy that desert? And he even prohibits anyone from entering that area. Is that guy out of his mind?”
“Alas… I can never understand these rich people. Anyway, he will definitely lose this territory in three months.”
“Resources are scarce in the desert. Which idiot guild bought such a territory?”
…
Successfully snapping up a bargain, Li Xiaonian was a little excited. Now he could hardly wait to explore the desert and search for the underground castle.
