Borrow 10 million?
Yu Qing’s face darkened. Mr. An Ying, you’re a top-tier blacksmith. Don’t tell me you don’t even have 10 to 20 million domain coins on you.
According to her understanding, li xiaonian didn’t want to pay the 150 million on the spot because he was too stingy, apart from the financial pressure.
But now, when she heard that he wanted to borrow money, she was sure that li xiaonian was not a miser. He was poor. He was the poorest blacksmith she had ever seen.
Li xiaonian was displeased when he heard the other party’s tone. even if you’re not willing to lend me money, you don’t have to mock me like this. I’m poor, but I’m proud.
Li xiaonian turned around and left.
“Come back.”
who says I’m not willing to lend? I’ve already lent you 150 million, so I don’t care about the 10 million. You’re a top blacksmith, someone we need to curry favor with. Yu Qing said, sulking.
“Really?”
“Thank you.” Li xiaonian’s eyes brightened.
The loan agreement was very simple. This time, he only needed to write an IOU and did not need the system to guarantee it.
A few minutes later.
Ding …
The system replied,”Yuqing has transferred 10 million domain coins to you. Your account balance: 10,063 thousand domain coins.”
With money, li xiaonian straightened his back.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a [ soul-cleaving saber ] and threw it to Yu Qing, you’re generous and straightforward. I’m not stingy either. I’ll give this saber to you.
Without waiting for the other party’s reply, li xiaonian turned around and left.
“……”
Yu Qing held the [ soul-cleaving blade ] in her hand and looked at li xiaonian’s back as he left, feeling a little helpless. If it was possible, she would rather not have the saber and take li xiaonian’s favor instead.
[ Soul Breaker blade ], its attributes were not bad, but it was a pity that it was only a level 31 weapon. To her, it was of little value.
……
Passing by the gate of Tianzhi port, li xiaonian ran into the mysterious old man again. He laughed and joked, ” “GE Lao, since you think so highly of me, why don’t you follow me?”
For this deal to be so easily negotiated, the pavilion elder must be involved.
“No problem,” the librarian laughed.
“Really?”
Li xiaonian’s eyes widened.
Seeing the GE Lao reminded him of the Luo mo temple. The Luo mo temple was a Sage-to-be with similar strength to his current self. However, their reputation could shock the entire Star Wind world. This was inseparable from the Luo mo temple’s ability to predict the future.
The pavilion elder stroked his white beard and chuckled, ” “When you become a star Master, you don’t need to ask, I’ll come to you.”
“You mean to say that, in your prediction, I can become a star Lord?” li xiaonian’s interest was piqued.
The pavilion elder smiled and said with an enigmatic expression, ” “I can’t say, I can’t say.”
Although he said that, he was actually complaining in his heart. How arrogant. There are countless intelligent beings in the entire universe, but there are only Nine Star Lords. Who Do You Think You Are?
Of course, he would not say this out loud.
To li xiaonian, there was no loss in giving him hope.
Li xiaonian laughed at the reaction of the librarian. elder GE, this trick of yours is useless against me. To be honest, my master is also a prophet. He can predict the fate of everyone on a planet. He can use his lifespan to let a person enter the actualised dream world and sense their future life in advance. Compared to my master, who is stronger? you or my master?”
The pavilion elder’s face froze as he calculated with both hands.
After a while.
Puchi ~ a sound.
The librarian spat out a mouthful of blood and took out a health potion. After drinking it, he smiled bitterly.”I was blind, I didn’t think that young hero’s identity would be so complicated.”
“……”
Li xiaonian’s happy mood was instantly gone when the other party vomited blood.
He knew that the other party would not be able to predict his fate, but looking at the other party’s performance, he felt pity. If … If luomo temple was still alive and entered star field, with his talent, he would definitely become a top Prophet.
From the reaction of the pavilion elder, it wasn’t hard to see that the foretelling technique in star field was also effective. Moreover, there was no need to worry about the backlash, and it could avoid the danger during the cultivation.
“GE Lao, we’ll meet again if fate permits.” Li xiaonian cupped his hands in farewell.
They left Tianzhi port.
A figure appeared.
“Brother shadow, you’re finally out. I thought you left.”
The one who spoke was none other than the tour guide who had brought him here, chengfeng.
“You still haven’t left?” Li xiaonian was surprised.
A day had passed since he entered Tianzhi port, but he didn’t expect that the other party was still waiting for him.
“You’re paying me such a High Tour guide fee, so of course I have to complete it seriously. There’s still a lot of time before the 24-hour tour ends.” Chengfeng answered seriously.
In fact, he had thought of leaving early, but li xiaonian was the most generous nouveau riche he he had ever met. He wanted to curry favor with him and see if he could earn more money.
Li xiaonian naturally saw through the other party’s thoughts, but he didn’t expose him. “If that’s the case, then take me to the auction house,”
If one wanted to buy items that could be conjured, they could only be found in auction houses. It was impossible to find them in ordinary markets.
“There are three big auction houses in the land of chaos. They are the heavenly venerable auction house, the treasure auction house, and the treasure auction house. At this time … There shouldn’t be any auctions. Auctions usually take place at night.”
is that so … li xiaonian pondered. in that case, we won’t go to the auction house. Bring me to a hotel. Is there any hotel nearby that you can recommend? ”
Chengfeng was a little disappointed. Finding a place to stay meant that he was not needed. However, he still pointed to a tall building behind him. there’s a top-notch restaurant over there, the dream fragrance restaurant. The dream fragrance restaurant has two types of special rooms. One is that you can slowly increase your experience points by staying in the room. The other is that you can increase your cultivation speed. The restaurant provides items that can increase your cultivation speed. No matter which type of room it is, the price is very expensive.
Li xiaonian was surprised.
Renting out items that could increase cultivation speed? It should be very profitable.
The equipment he had on him included lightning rod +10, blacksmith’s heart +1, and three fixed cultivation speed attributes. With the one cultivation speed attribute he had, his total cultivation speed was 15 times.
The only equipment that could be rented out was [ blacksmith’s heart ]. Unfortunately, this equipment could only be worn by blacksmiths, so its value had depreciated by quite a bit.
“Since the restaurant is over there, I’ll go there myself. Your task for today ends here.” As he spoke, li xiaonian handed the other party another 100 domain coins.
Gulp …
Chengfeng swallowed his saliva and finally accepted the domain currency.”Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome,”
Li xiaonian turned around and left.
To be honest, he was a little regretful. He regretted tipping too much.
It was not that he felt heartache over the small amount of money, but the excessive tip made him unable to judge a person’s character. If he had only paid 10 domain coins as a deposit at the beginning, he would have only paid 20 domain coins for the tour guide per day. If chengfeng could still be so diligent, he wouldn’t mind bringing one with him.
After all, chengfeng gave him a good feeling.
Now, because he had given too much money, it was no longer possible to judge a person’s character. He was not sure if chengfeng was after his money or if he was just a good person.
Yup, it’s better to keep a low profile in the future so as not to miss out on making friends worth making.
The mengxiang restaurant was right in front of them. Li xiaonian didn’t take a car, but walked there.
After walking for a distance.
Chengfeng caught up in a hurry and whispered with an ugly expression, shadow, I’ll Cover You later. Run!
“What’s the situation?” Li xiaonian was shocked.
Chen Feng explained in a low voice,”due to my negligence, when I pointed at the fragrant dream restaurant just now, the ‘hounds’ around us knew that you were a new rich man.” The Hound has already seen you as prey. The hounds I’m talking about are the Brawler players in the land of chaos who specialize in hunting rich newcomers to earn wealth.”
Li xiaonian furrowed his brows and looked around.
As expected.
He did not know when, but there were more than a dozen players with unfriendly expressions beside him.
He had done his homework on star field before, so he knew what the current situation was.
Hunting, hunting openly.
After a player left the starter village, once they were killed by a player, all the items on them would be dropped except for the domain currency and bound items.
In addition to the dropped items, their levels would also drop. Not by one level, but by three. Every ten levels, there was a stage. He was currently level 31, and after death, his level would drop by three levels. If a player was level 60, they would lose six levels upon death. It could be said that the death penalty was very serious.
All the items on the body would drop upon death, so the Hound profession was born. The Hound’s level was definitely not high, and he was not afraid of death. Every time he took action, he would store the important items on him in advance. If a dozen or so people worked together and failed, they would only lose some level and experience. If they succeeded, they might become rich overnight.
Driven by the rich profits, there was no end to the hounds, especially in this land of chaos, where the forces were complicated.
Escape!
Li xiaonian didn’t hesitate at all. He took a big step forward and sprinted toward the dream fragrance restaurant.
On the other side.
The hounds knew that their actions had been exposed. They glared at chengfeng angrily.”Brat, you’re a busybody. You’re dead.”
After saying those words, the Hound was forced to start hunting li xiaonian.
“Poison Dragon needle!”
The four hounds took out miniature ballistas, aimed at li xiaonian from four directions, and pulled the trigger.
Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~ Whoosh!
The densely-packed poisonous needles shot toward li xiaonian.
The poisonous Dragon crossbow was not cheap, but the needle head was the most expensive. It was a one-time item that could effectively hunt prey and was the favorite of the Hound clan.
Besieging from all sides, the success rate of hunting was 100%, and had never failed so far.
They didn’t know who li xiaonian was, but the fact that he could afford to stay in the fragrant dream restaurant meant that he was a super-rich man who was worth their high investment.
“……”
Li xiaonian’s face was filled with anger as he said in a deep voice,”Leap slash!”
He bent his legs slightly. ding, ding, ding … a series of densely packed poisonous needles shot onto li xiaonian’s body. However, they were blocked by an invisible protective shield and were unable to harm him in the slightest.
[ leap slash ]: consume 2 Spirit to leap and attack enemies within a 10*10 circle, causing base damage +20 additional damage. During the skill release, immune to all damage. Cooldown time: 6 seconds;
Since he was immune to damage, li xiaonian leaped forward and jumped thirty-five meters. After landing, he quickly rushed toward the dream fragrance restaurant.
He didn’t believe that these hounds would dare to continue their pursuit after entering the dream fragrance restaurant.
“He didn’t die!”
“F * ck, how is that possible? There’s no damage at all.”
The hounds were all shocked.
They were not the only ones who were shocked. The onlookers were also shocked. They stood at the side and started to discuss.
tsk, tsk, the hounds have kicked an iron plate this time. I thought it was a fat sheep, but it’s an Overlord.
“The Overlord? If that young man is really that powerful, he wouldn’t be running away but fighting them head-on. Those hounds are nothing more than a group of high-level hooligans. Other than using props, their individual strength is not worth mentioning.”
“Sigh … The hounds aren’t that strong, but they’re hard to deal with. Didn’t you see? the people around us are just like us, they’re just here to watch, not to help. The reward for saving a tycoon should be quite a lot.”
forget it, I’ll just stay here. As long as the hounds don’t cause me trouble, I can’t be bothered with these things.
……
It wasn’t that they didn’t have a sense of justice, but the price of justice was too high. In the past, there were many messengers of justice, but they angered the hounds and were constantly attacked by them. None of them ended well.
No one was a fool. The hounds were so crazy in the land of chaos that there must be the shadows of various major forces behind them, deliberately destroying the peace in the area.
If you hire people to cause destruction in this area, I’ll fight back and hire people to cause destruction in your area. This was the result of the chaos of power.
……
Li xiaonian ran for a distance, but six hounds were already in his way, blocking his way.
“Die!”
Li xiaonian opened the third eye between his brows, and an invisible thorn shot out.
-102
A Hound was struck by a soul attack and was completely stunned. Li xiaonian then swept the lightning rod in his hand.
Bang! Bang!
-214
A high amount of damage appeared above the other party’s head, and he was sent flying backward. Even so, the other party still did not die.
“Damn it, these hounds aren’t low-level.”
Li xiaonian cursed under his breath. He took a turn and avoided the encirclement. He did not want to get entangled with the other party, as it would only be disadvantageous to him. After all, there were more than ten hounds around him.
Bang, bang, bang ~
The Hound took out a pistol, aimed at li xiaonian, and fired.
His marksmanship was very accurate, and he hit almost all of his targets. However, li xiaonian’s defense was not low, and the damage caused by his gun was very limited.
-10
-10
-20 weak point attack
-10
……
A series of damages appeared, and Li xiaonian’s health points slowly decreased.
Gulp ~
Li xiaonian gulped down health potions to recover his health points as he fled.
……
The leader of the hounds looked in the direction of the dreamy fragrance restaurant and saw that the soldiers had already appeared. He said with an unsightly expression,” he’s a tough one. I can’t swallow him. Retreat!
whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~”
The hounds split up and fled, either hiding in the crowd or in the buildings.
If the first attack failed, they had to retreat quickly. This was the survival rule of the hounds. If they delayed for too long, they would only be unlucky.
