"Let's go. Let's get this done quickly." Li Huailin was a little annoyed. He didn't like doing business. If it weren't for the money, he wouldn't have bothered. He didn't expect the purchase of a shop to drag on for so long. Li Huailin was getting impatient.
After saying that, Li Huailin walked directly into the business management department. Before he reached the door, a group of people beside him shouted. "What's wrong?
"Hey, hey, what are you doing over there? Line up at the back! "a Merchant player shouted at Li Huailin.
"That's right. Line up at the back," another person immediately said.
"What will happen if I don't line up?" Li Huailin couldn't be bothered to line up, so he turned around and asked.
"You can try," the Merchant said with a smile. Li Huailin wasn't the first person who didn't like to line up. The Business Management Department was prepared for such a person. There were four Royal Guards standing at the entrance, and there was an entire team inside. If one dared to cause trouble, they would immediately chase him out of the entrance and back into the line. If one dared to cause trouble, they would be sent on a one-day tour of a Main City's jail. Seeing that Li Huailin didn't seem to understand, the Merchant player smirked and waited for a good show.
"Oh, I'll give it a try, then." Li Huailin nodded and continued walking inside.
As expected, after taking two steps, the guards in front of him noticed that Li Huailin wasn't in the line and immediately walked over.
"Adventurer, you … ugh … ugh …" The guard captain was speaking normally, but when he walked closer and saw Li Huailin's face, he was so scared that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Greetings, Sir!" The Guard Captain was so frightened that he couldn't even speak properly. He immediately saluted in panic. According to Li Huailin's military rank, he was the Empire's Marshal (previously, he was the acting Commander, but now he was the Commander of the Second Legion). According to his title, he was the Grand Duke of the Empire. He wasn't someone that a person of his rank could look directly at. As one of the Royal Guard Captains, he had a deeper understanding of how terrifying Li Huailin was …
"Greetings, Sir!" The soldiers behind him didn't know why their captain was trembling, but they knew that the person in front of them was their senior officer, so they immediately saluted.
"What's up?" Li Huailin asked casually.
His tone was a little harsh, and the captain was already sweating profusely. In order to remedy the situation, the captain immediately said, "Yes, sir, you're here to discuss some matters with Sir Oppenheimer, right? I'm afraid that you don't know the way, so I'm here to guide you."
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin nodded. "Alright, lead the way."
The captain on this side wiped the sweat off his forehead. He had actually managed to sneak past them. He immediately said to the people behind him, "I'll lead the way for the lord. You guys look after this place."
"Yes!" The three guards behind him immediately replied.
"So that's what happens when you cut the queue." Hongyan, who was drinking water, mocked the businessmen beside her, then followed Li Huailin with a smile.
"F * ck! Who's this guy? He's so cool! " The few merchant players at the side had yet to react. What was going on? Why were the guards who were usually very fierce to them so scared when they saw that guy? Why was there such a big difference?
"Yes, he looks like Brother Awesome?" a person at the side suddenly said.
"Yeah, I think he looks like him too," another person said.
"F * ck, it's Brother Awesome. No wonder he's so cool …" The merchant player suddenly felt relieved. It was fine if it was anyone else, but Brother Awesome was definitely an awesome existence … But why would Brother Awesome come to the Business Management Department …
Soon, everyone at the scene thought of this question at the same time. Then, almost instantly, everyone realized what was going on.
"F * ck! Brother Awesome is here to buy a shop! "a merchant player shouted.
"F * ck! A shop! "
"Brother Awesome, wait up. Are you interested in working with our company?"
"F * ck, why didn't I recognize him earlier? I think I saw Old Qin and Brother Awesome go in together."
"F * ck! I want to go in too. Count me in, Brother Awesome. "
"What kind of dog sh * t luck is Old Qin? Count me in."
In an instant, the crowd was agitated, and the scene immediately became chaotic. However, the guards immediately raised their spears and shouted at them, "Quiet! What kind of place is this? If you shout again, chase all of you out! "
While the merchants were beating their chests and stamping their feet, Li Huailin had already gone in. Along the way, Li Huailin asked Qin Yong, "Uncle, who is Oppenheimer?"
"The head of the Business Management Department. He's a very difficult person to deal with," Qin Yong said. Qin Yong said. He had interacted with this NPC quite a few times. Just the bribe alone had cost him nearly 1,000 Gold. Yet, the NPC's Favorability had only increased by 6 points. The benefits he had received were not much. However, if he did not offer any, the NPC would simply ignore him.
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin nodded. "Let's buy a shop from him, right?"
"Yes." Qin Yong nodded. Buying a shop was a relatively important matter, and it required the department head to personally sell it.
"Alright." Li Huailin nodded. As usual, he would go in and eat with him first. That way, he would be able to buy things cheaper.
"This is the place, sir," the team leader said to Li Huailin as he stopped in front of the door of a house.
"Oh, there's nothing else for you to do," Li Huailin said as he opened the door and walked in.
Inside the room, Oppenheimer was discussing the issue of renting an Alchemy Room with a Merchant player. The Merchant player was very tactful and handed over 200 gold coins as a bribe. Just as Oppenheimer was about to accept it, the door suddenly opened.
Oppenheimer was shocked, but he immediately became furious. He shouted at the door, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to let anyone disturb us? Guard — "
Before he could finish his sentence, Oppenheimer suddenly saw someone enter the room. In an instant, he was scared out of his wits. This … Isn't this guy the new Grand Duke of the Empire? He … Why is he here?
Oppenheimer was stunned. He then looked down at the 200 gold coins on the table. This … Just when I was about to accept the bribe, Oppenheimer was scared out of his wits. This was no laughing matter. The empire had just been established, and many civil officials had been transferred to unknown places. Oppenheimer was lucky enough not to be noticed (mainly because his official position was low), and he was able to stay in this lucrative department. Now, this Grand Duke had caught him accepting a bribe? Forget about being demoted, it was possible that he would be executed by the new Emperor to establish his authority.
In an instant, Oppenheimer began to sweat. He rushed to the Merchant player's side and shouted, "You … What did you do? Are you insulting me? Get out! I don't want to see you again! "
"Huh?" The Merchant player was confused. Didn't they have a good discussion just now? Why did they suddenly change their minds? However, he also noticed Li Huailin who had just entered the room. Could it be related to this player?
Li Huailin did not pay attention to the issue of money and bribery. He looked at the situation in the room and saw an NPC in his forties. His name was Oppenheimer in green, and there was a player next to him. However, the two seemed to be arguing about something. However, Li Huailin could not be bothered and went straight to business.
"Are you Oppenheimer?" Li Huailin said to Oppenheimer.
"Yes, my lord!" Oppenheimer immediately walked over, hoping that he could deceive Li Huailin. This Grand Duke was no joke. He had heard that Li Huailin had killed hundreds of thousands of people in the past two days. He was practically a slaughtering maniac. He had even killed the entire family of the former Marquis Filmus. How could Oppenheimer dare to look Li Huailin in the eye? He immediately lowered his head and walked over to greet Li Huailin.
"Pa!" Li Huailin raised his hand and slapped Oppenheimer hard in the face. Oppenheimer was not prepared at all and fell to the ground.
"My … my lord, please forgive me! Please forgive me, my lord! " Oppenheimer immediately rolled and crawled in front of Li Huailin. He already had a guilty conscience, and now, he was scared out of his wits by Li Huailin's slap.
"It seems that the Duke saw me taking bribes. What should I do? What should I do?" Oppenheimer's heart was in a mess, and he begged for mercy.
"Huh?" Li Huailin also felt a little strange. Why did this move of his that had worked a hundred times suddenly not work? Why didn't this slap increase the Favorability? Strange, what was the problem?
Li Huailin, who did not believe it, directly pulled Oppenheimer up from the ground and slapped him twice in the face without saying a word. However, the result was still no increase in favorability.
"Eh? Eh? "Li Huailin touched his head strangely. That's not right. Could it be that my judgment mechanism has changed? That doesn't seem to be the case. What's going on?
"Oh, I understand!" After thinking for a while, Li Huailin roughly understood the situation. Previously, when he hit NPCs to increase favorability, it was because the NPCs would deduct it. When a random stranger came over and slapped him, the NPCs would naturally be unhappy, so naturally, the NPCs would deduct it. But now that he had been promoted, the NPCs would not dare to be angry when he hit these low-ranking officials, so they did not increase favorability.
Li Huailin did not expect Oppenheimer to be scared to death. He was found to have taken bribes, and his heart was extremely guilty. How could he be angry? Naturally, he would not deduct favorability.
"Ahem, I'm sorry." Knowing that the other party would not increase favorability, Li Huailin did not hit him. He tidied up Oppenheimer's clothes in front of him. "I don't know why my hand suddenly felt itchy, and I wanted to hit someone. It just so happened that you were in front of me, and I accidentally hit you. Are you okay?"
"…" Qin Yong and the others, who were shocked by Li Huailin's series of actions, looked at Li Huailin in surprise. What kind of strange reason was this? How could the other party not be angry?
"Good hit! Sir, good hit! " Oppenheimer hurriedly praised. "I don't know why I suddenly wanted to be hit. It just so happened that Sir appeared and helped me. Sir is really too good to me."
"F * ck, that works too?" Qin Yong looked at the situation with a face full of surprise. What's wrong with this Oppenheimer? Has he become stupid?
"Eh? There's no increase in favorability? " Li Huailin heard these familiar words and then looked at his own record. Indeed, there was no increase in favorability. What's wrong with this guy? Is he a super masochist?
