Lancaster, Li Huailin's territory, was now in a frenzy of paying taxes. Farmers from all over the country were frantically paying taxes. In order not to delay Li Huailin's collection of taxes, some places had already prepared all the taxes before anyone came to collect them. In some places, it was even more exaggerated. Before the taxes could be collected, the villagers had already moved their food into the city.
At this time, Li Huailin, the Grand Duke of Lancaster Duchy, had not returned to his fief for four days. He did not know the specific situation in his fief. At this time, he was farming in the Viper Cave near the main city.
That's right, after spending more than 20 days, Chen Juan finally came out of the newbie village. It was simply an earth-shattering scene. She also came out with her two good sisters who had also stayed in the newbie village for more than 20 days. Of course, as promised, Li Huailin directly ran to Viper's Cave to help them pull their levels.
Chen Juan's two best friends were called Purple Rose in the game. Chen Juan always called her NaNa. She looked like a mature woman who was less than 30 years old. She looked a little enchanting. For some reason, Li Huailin felt that this woman seemed to be very interested in Chen Juan. It seemed to be beyond the interest between friends. She did not react at all to Li Huailin and spoke very little. However, Chen Juan did not notice this at all.
The other player was called Open Cloud. She was a 24-year-old white-collar worker. She looked quite cute. Although she was already 24 years old, anyone would think that she was just a college student just by looking at her face. She was quite young. She quite admired Li Huailin and often chatted with Li Huailin when she had nothing to do. Li Huailin more or less knew that her real name was Zhao Ruoxi. She lived in Shanghai and worked in the office of an international trading company.
Neither of them were professional players. Because Zhao Ruoxi had to work, she basically did not play during the day. The other NaNa was not online often either. So in the three days, Chen Juan had risen to level 28, Zhao Ruoxi was only level 22, and NaNa was only level 21.
In the past few days, Li Huailin did not do anything else but help them pull levels. In between, he took some time to go to the S-rank league and won 4 matches. Now, Li Huailin had a score of 10 wins and 1 loss. He was temporarily ranked third. The two in front were Feng Yiliu, who had a perfect record so far, and Heaven's End, who had 11 wins and 1 loss.
Speaking of which, Wind Yi Liu's luck in the first half of the season was quite good. He basically didn't encounter any strong opponents, and the highest ranked player was his old rival, Eternal. Thus, he had been able to push forward without losing a single match until now. Heaven's End, on the other hand, had lost to Gray Tu last time. This round of the round-robin tournament went without any surprises.
Apart from the afternoon of the tournament, Li Huailin had been leveling with Chen Juan. Now, Li Huailin only needed three or four slashes to kill the final Hidden Boss, and the Little Soldier would cast a Whirlwind Slash. This speed was simply amazing. Of course, the speed at which they obtained equipment was also very fast. Soon, the three women had already changed into level 20 equipment. As for the other items, because level 20 Green equipment was no longer valuable, they did not pick them up. However, Blue equipment could still be sold for some money, so everyone's bags were already filled with level 20 Blue equipment. During this period, they had also obtained some strange Recipes. Li Huailin did not use any of them. He left the Alchemy Recipe for Misty Rain and gave the rest to the women.
"Huailin, Huailin, it's so boring. Let's go somewhere else to fight. I also want to help." It was already the fourth day. Chen Juan was also a little bored. She had not done anything, so she could not help. The small monsters were all killed by Li Huailin with one slash, and the Boss died in ten seconds. After running the Dungeon for three days straight, Chen Juan really could not take it anymore.
"I say, you don't even understand your own skills." Li Huailin turned his head and said, "Moreover, you are now only level 28. You can't even use the Teleportation Circle. Even if I wanted to bring you to fight somewhere else, I wouldn't be able to."
"That's not it. Huailin, I now realize that choosing a Warlock is really too suitable for me. You see, a Warlock's skills only need to be casually thrown out. After that, there's nothing for me to do," Chen Juan said. She trained as a Pain Warlock. She just needed to throw out a skill that would continuously reduce her HP, and then just watch the show.
"How do I put this to you? Anyway, the only requirement for you is to be able to use skills …" Li Huailin expressed that a true expert Warlock's control was definitely extremely high. It was a pity that Chen Juan could not even defeat the small monsters, so there was no need to ask so much of her.
"Huailin, I realized that it's not a good idea for you to train with us like this. Up until now, I haven't even used my Cleric skills …" Cheng Ruoxi, who was next to him, said. In fact, she was a little embarrassed. Although she was naturally very happy that Li Huailin came to carry them in the beginning, it had been three days. She knew how busy Brother Awesome was right now. Cheng Ruoxi felt a little bad that she was wasting his leveling time with them.
"Well, that's true." Li Huailin did not think too much about it. After thinking about it, he realized that she was right. After all, playing the game required him to do his own research, and he could not carry them for the rest of his life. So, he nodded and said, "Then what do you guys think we should do? If I let you guys fight this dungeon now, I don't think you guys can beat it. "
"It would be great if we could find a fixed party with a similar level. It would be best if it was an all-female party," Purple Rose said.
"Eh? Now that you mention it … "Just as Li Huailin was about to say something, a system notification suddenly rang.
System Notification: You are connected to a long-distance call.
Li Huailin opened the interface and looked at it. What a coincidence. Just as he thought of them, they really contacted him. The name of the long-distance call was written as Misty Rain.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked after picking up the call.
"I'm broke. I'm going to die of poverty!" Misty Rain answered the long-distance call and said, "Rebirth and Army Soul are already doing well. We are still a level one shop. Is there any news about your salary?"
"Oh, it should be arriving soon." Li Huailin said. Although he had not checked his Reputation for the past few days, just as he expected, his Reputation had skyrocketed to 96 points. Now that he was earning 5 Reputation points per minute, it had increased to more than 19000 Reputation points in three days.
"We can't wait any longer. How much longer will it take?" Misty Rain asked.
"Forget it. Let's meet up. I have something that I need your help with," Li Huailin said.
"Okay. I'm in our shop in the main city. Come over," Misty Rain said.
"Okay. Wait for me." Li Huailin nodded.
"I have an idea. You guys can join a guild. I happen to know of a small guild that only has female players. Most of them are casual players. It should be suitable for you guys," Li Huailin said after hanging up the call.
"That's true." Cheng Ruoxi nodded. Joining a guild would mean forming a party.
"Okay, okay." Purple Rose was exceptionally happy when she heard that it was an all-female guild.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Hence, everyone used their Return Scrolls to return to the city. Under Li Huailin's lead, they arrived at the player's shop area in the business district. This place was still very empty. Li Huailin could only see his two shops from afar. This was the first time Li Huailin had seen his own shops. From the outside, this level one shop was quite embarrassing. Two small houses, and both were single-story houses. There was nothing new about the shop. It was nothing compared to the shiny shops opened by NPCs. No wonder Misty Rain was having such a headache.
When they arrived at B-2's shop, there were not many players shopping. Most of them were just strolling around. There were a few people in work clothes. Two of them were NPCs with names, and the other two were female players. They were probably from the Red Army of Women.
"Sister Yan 'er, your husband is here." Before Li Huailin could speak, one of the female players shouted into the shop.
"Husband?" Chen Juan was stunned. She looked at Li Huailin with a strange expression.
"Nonsense. If you continue to spout nonsense, I won't pay you this month." Misty Rain's voice immediately came from inside. The female player who called out to her smiled and ran away.
As she spoke, Misty Rain came out from the back. Chen Juan, who was standing beside Li Huailin, immediately stared at her. It had to be said that Misty Rain's appearance was really beautiful. Even Chen Juan, who was very confident in her appearance, was shocked when she saw Misty Rain. She thought about it carefully. If she were a man, she wouldn't be able to control herself. Immediately, Chen Juan's alarm level rose to the highest red level.
"You've seen the situation." Misty Rain came over and said, "First, we don't have anything to sell here. The main thing is that we don't have any special products. Rebirth and Army Soul have equipment, and they're better than us. They have more people, and they can get equipment faster. We can't compete with them. We still haven't found the materials for the Fountain of Life Potion, so we can't produce it for now. Of course, the most important thing is that we don't have the funds. "
"We have a bag of Blue equipment here. Although they're all level 20, can we sell them?" Li Huailin asked.
"Level 20 Blue equipment is still worth some money." Misty Rain nodded. "But we can't solve the problem. How are things on your side?"
"Uh, the tax collection should have started. When it's done, I think I should have money. I haven't been back for a while, so I don't know how things are going," Li Huailin said.
"Keep an eye on it. Oh, right. How much can we collect?" Misty Rain asked.
"I don't know. It should be a lot." Li Huailin didn't know the exact amount. Currently, the financial list on the territory's page was still "Calculating …". "I collected 70% of the tax. It should be a lot."
"What? How much? "Misty Rain tilted her head and asked.
"70%," Li Huailin replied.
"…" Misty Rain directly facepalmed. "I … I knew that there would be problems if I let you handle this kind of thing. Even if you don't understand economics, you should have a limit, okay? Let's go to your fief."
"Now?" Li Huailin said.
"Yes, immediately," Misty Rain said immediately.
"You're going too?" Li Huailin asked.
"Of course, immediately," Misty Rain said decisively.
