Bridge toll. That was a little novel. Li Huailin listened for a while. It turned out that a group of players discovered the location of the Ferkel Continent, so they directly blocked the northern estuary of the continent. Although the northern coastline of the continent was very long, there weren't many areas suitable for heading to the northern Ferkel Continent. After all, players couldn't swim there, so they wouldn't be able to make it in time. The more normal way was to take a ship or an airship.
Originally, there weren't any large port cities in the northern part of the continent. There were only a few small seaports, and the ships inside couldn't travel far. However, this wasn't a problem for the players, especially the guilds. Their solution was very simple. They directly had the engineers in the guild build the ships, then disassemble the parts and bring them to the north. After a little assembly, they could go out to sea. As the sea had been opened up in the previous versions, basically every guild had a ship. If there were no accidents, it would be relatively easy to reach the Ferkel Continent.
However, the problem was that this world wasn't so peaceful. Although engineers could build ships, ships couldn't be launched anywhere. Did you think that you could just find a place to put the ship down and it would sail? That was impossible. The ships that could sail were very large. They had to find a place with a deeper draft. Otherwise, they would be directly stranded and unable to move. What was the use of assembling them? There were very few places like this in the northern part of the continent. If someone really occupied this place, it would be troublesome to take a ship there.
The current situation was like this. The location where these two guilds were located was very close to the Ferkel Continent, and there were many ships that could be placed there. In fact, there were already people from guilds who had placed ships here. When Li Huailin first arrived, he saw a few ships. Their ships not only sent their own guild members over, but they also sent other people over. Yes, as long as you could afford it, they would even send you over.
Of course, the problem was that you had to be able to afford it. This involved a relationship of interests. In fact, the benefits were quite great. Based on the current situation, they had already taken on a lot of orders. For example, the tycoons who bought votes in the previous trials had directly used this method to go to the Felix Continent. They did not care about money and felt that it was quite convenient. After getting a little bit of sweetness, of course, they also felt that this business could make a lot of money, so they joined forces with others and blocked all the places that could go to the sea. When they saw someone sailing there, they went over to cause trouble. It was obvious that they wanted to monopolize the business here.
In that case, they would, of course, violate the interests of others. It was fine if the fees were cheap, but the problem was that they also knew that there were not many participants. There were only a total of 100,000 people, and they were all from all over the world. So how many people could Hua Xia have? With so few people, how could the fees be cheap? In fact, this fee was like extortion. Other than the tycoons who didn't care, the others couldn't bear it at all.
Since it was extortion, of course, there were people who were not willing to pay. Immediately, there were people who jumped out to oppose, especially those in the guilds who wanted to go over. So the current situation was that these people were about to fight. If it weren't for Li Huailin's sudden appearance, they would probably have started fighting.
Li Huailin looked around and found that the extortion group had an astonishing number of people. The gap between the two sides was slightly large. If they fought like this, the people who opposed would probably not get any benefits. After thinking about it carefully, it was clear that this group of extortionists wasn't only the group of people who failed in the first trial. Some of them were indeed the same group of people. Since they failed in the first trial, they would snatch a ticket. But other than them, there were also those who had already sent their guild members over. Since their people had already logged in, of course they didn't need to care about them. So why didn't they collect the toll together with this group of people? Wasn't it also money?
It was obvious that the people who opposed the extortion group also realized that their strength was relatively low. Of course, they wouldn't be afraid. After all, the first trial had already passed, and the name list had been confirmed. So, they didn't need to worry about losing their spots if they died. Since the other side was so important, they naturally had to vent their anger.
But it was obvious that venting their anger wouldn't solve any problems. In fact, Li Huailin also realized that this group of people was at a disadvantage. After all, the other side wasn't in a hurry. If they couldn't make it, they would directly lose. So, this was probably the last wave of these people. If they could defeat the other side, they would set off on their own. If they couldn't, they could only pay the toll and board the ship.
Of course, this was a very cowardly behavior. So, the group of people who opposed the extortion group was currently very angry. When they saw Li Huailin appear, they suddenly felt that they had to drag Li Huailin down with them. What reason could they use? There was no reason at all. The people involved said this: "Brother Awesome, please uphold justice."
Yes, justice. The other side actually directly used such a righteous reason to drag Li Huailin down. To be honest, this group of people was indeed a bit unkind. After all, their behavior was no different from extortion. However, what made Li Huailin even more unhappy was that these people casually thought that he was righteous. They even wanted to drag him down? It was as if if he didn't help them, he would be evil.
"Brother Awesome, we rely on our abilities to make a living." Hearing the other party's words, a few people on the other side immediately came out to explain. After all, they did not want Li Huailin to help the other side. "This is our ship. We're sending people over. Isn't it normal to ask for a fee?"
"Bullsh * t!" The people on the other side immediately came out and said, "We don't need your ship. We have our own ship. Who needs you to give it to us? This is obviously robbery."
"We didn't say that you can't use your own ship, but we've already occupied this place. You can only use our ship. You should understand the principle of first come, first served. If you want to use your ship, you can go find another place." The people on the other side immediately retorted.
The president on the other side was so angry that his teeth were itching. He already knew that the other party had basically occupied all the places that could disembark the ship. Now that they were asking them to find another place, it meant that they were not allowed to use the ship. Just as he was about to refute, Li Huailin, who was in the middle, spoke.
"Alright, alright. You're annoying." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "It's their own ship. Isn't it normal to ask for a fee and so on …"
"Brother Awesome, this …" When the people on the other side heard Li Huailin's words, they thought that Li Huailin was going to speak up for the group of people who were collecting the toll. So, they immediately wanted to refute. However, before they could speak, they were interrupted by Li Huailin.
"But the problem is that your ship is not legal at all," Li Huailin said. "What do you mean by first come, first served? I'm telling you, the land belongs to whoever arrives first. I've never heard of such a thing. "
"That's right." When the president heard Li Huailin's words, he immediately said, "I've never heard of such a thing."
The president who was collecting the toll grew anxious again. He immediately wanted to explain to Li Huailin, but before he could speak, Li Huailin raised his hand and interrupted him. "We want to do business, but we have to do it legally, right? Look, this land belongs to the Elves. If you want to use it, why don't you apply to the Elves? If the application is approved, then you will be using the land legally. Isn't that great?"
"Huh?" Both sides were stunned. They had never heard of a situation where a player had to apply to an NPC for something. This wasn't like a real Shop in a Main City. They were just occupying the land. What did this have to do with the Elven government?
"Don't worry. The Elves are now under the jurisdiction of the mainland's government. So, I can actually take over this matter," Li Huailin said.
At this moment, both sides suddenly understood that Li Huailin wanted to participate in this matter. To be more precise, Li Huailin wanted a share of the profits.
"Fortunately, you guys reminded me. Otherwise, I would have forgotten about it," Li Huailin said. "In short, as the Emperor of the Continent of Righteousness, I feel that this matter needs to be handled properly. I think I can give you the rights to operate this route. You just need to register it. "
"Really?" one of the presidents asked. Just register it? Li Huailin doesn't want a share?
"Of course, you still have to pay taxes," Li Huailin immediately said. "That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Oh, this is, this is." The president gave the matter some thought. Sure enough, this was more reasonable. Although he said it was taxes, it was actually just a share of the profits. Of course, they didn't want to oppose Li Huailin. After all, both sides were in a standoff. If they directly opposed Li Huailin, wouldn't they be pushing Li Huailin to the other side? Everyone knew how powerful Li Huailin was. Who would want to go against Li Huailin?
"Then, can we register it?" the opposing side immediately asked.
"That's right. As I said, as long as it's legal, as a righteous person, I will naturally support it," Li Huailin said. "Do you think this is fair?"
"Fair, fair!" Yes, this seemed to be more advantageous to them. After all, they didn't have flight routes to begin with. Now that they had registered, they had one. Although they still had to pay Li Huailin, it shouldn't be more expensive than extortion.
"How much is the tax, then?" The opposing side didn't directly object. Instead, they first asked Li Huailin how big his appetite was.
"How much do you charge right now?" Li Huailin asked.
"Ten thousand Gold per person," the opposing side said after some thought. However, they still held back a little.
Li Huailin smiled. Sure enough, this was daylight robbery. However, he maintained his composure and said, "Alright, then. Just pay according to the most common tax rate in my territory."
"The most common tax rate?"
"Yes, the most common. In any case, you only need to pay me 7,000 Gold per person," Li Huailin said.
