Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 121 The City Guards' Reminder (Part 2)

"Yes!" Lin Hanchuan nodded affirmatively.

last life.

The fact that the Faceless Passerby was able to establish the largest chamber of commerce in the Green Ocean Alliance—the Heavenly Heart Chamber of Commerce—is enough to prove his talent in business.

Lin Hanchuan desperately needs such talent.

The faceless passerby finally understood that Lin Hanchuan was trying to poach his talent, and couldn't help but remind him, "Brother Xiao, I remember telling you before that I'm from the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce!"

“I know!” Lin Hanchuan looked directly at the faceless passerby and said, “I’m just giving you a choice. Whether you’re willing or not is up to you.”

Lin Hanchuan remembered it clearly.

The Faceless Passerby's Tianxin Chamber of Commerce rose to prominence in the Ninth District along with Wangyue City.

Although Tianxin and Tianhai differ by only one character, they are not subordinate to each other.

When Tianxin Chamber of Commerce was recognized by the system as the strongest chamber of commerce in the Green Sea Alliance, Tianhai Chamber of Commerce suddenly jumped out and engaged in a two-week-long online war of words with Tianxin Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Hanchuan learned from those posts that the Faceless Passerby was once a member of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, but later left the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce and established the Tianxin Chamber of Commerce, for which he paid a lot of liquidated damages.

Later, the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce and the Tianxin Chamber of Commerce must have reached some kind of agreement, suddenly changing from an adversarial relationship to a friendly cooperation.

At that time, Lin Hanchuan lamented: "Merchants value profit over parting."

Just as Lin Hanchuan had predicted, after a brief moment of thought, the faceless passerby asked, "Tell me, what is it about you that can move me?"

"Develop the entire Moon Gazing City with me!" Lin Hanchuan's words immediately stunned the Faceless Passerby.

The faceless passerby recovered his senses and asked thoughtfully, "Didn't they say there was a bug at the Moon Gazing City land sale center, and the NPC staff weren't selling land to the public?"

As businessmen, we are very sensitive to land.

Even when he was still in the beginner village, the Faceless Passerby learned from multiple sources that players could not buy land in Wangyue City.

Some people even reported this matter to the official authorities, whose current response is: they are investigating and all information is subject to official announcements.

Now, Arakawa Hakuyo is talking about developing the entire Mochizuki City, acting as if he's absolutely certain of success.

"Just because others can't buy it doesn't mean I can't!" Lin Hanchuan didn't give a specific reason.

The faceless passerby took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and asked in a low voice, "Is someone up there?"

"If I didn't have anyone with me, would I be talking to you about this?" Lin Hanchuan directly shifted the blame to the official team of the game. He had helped them with a lot of free video promotions when they were in Zone 1, so it was only fair that they wanted to collect some interest now.

hiss! !

The faceless passerby took a breath through his teeth.

If someone else were to say that he has connections in high places, the Faceless Passerby would probably scoff.

But if it was a night owl… he believed it!

I really believe it!

It's common knowledge that Night Owl has a very good relationship with the official Descent team; they often invite him to shoot promotional videos or do photoshoots.

As the player with the largest fan base in the game, Night Owl is certainly not someone the official team would want to just delete his account and leave.

Even after rumors circulated that Night Owl had created a new account to enter the Ninth District, some people speculated that the official Descent team had offered Night Owl many favorable conditions to persuade him to rejoin Descent.

As a businessman, Faceless Passerby firmly believed in this claim.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

This world is a business.

There's nothing you can't accomplish if you offer something compelling enough.

In exchange for the return of the Dharma King of the Ninth District, a remote fourth-tier city.

Both sides made a killing!
Seeing the faceless passerby with a furrowed brow, Lin Hanchuan pressed on, "And you should know my other identity. In a few days, after I announce it, countless players will flood into Wangyue City, and this city, which is officially rated as a fourth-tier city, will also become one of the major cities in the Ninth District."

"And you will become the city's finance minister! No! This is a game! Your power will be greater than that of a minister! You can do whatever business you want, however you want!"

Lin Hanchuan's words made the faceless passerby's eyes light up.

What impresses businessmen most is not money, but monopoly!

Just as Arakawa Shiro said, if he were willing to announce on his social media account that he is Night Owl, then this remote city would really be overwhelmed by players from all regions.

The influencer effect is quite terrifying!

Moreover, Lin Hanchuan is the biggest internet celebrity to have arrived.

The short video account alone has over 200 million followers worldwide, and with other accounts, the total exceeds 400 million.

If just 3% of these people become players in Wangyue City, it will be enough to rival a first-tier city!

Monopolizing the economy of a first-tier city...

The faceless passerby became increasingly tempted, but did not immediately answer Lin Hanchuan.

Because these are currently just Arakawa Haku's words.

Lin Hanchuan seemed to see his concerns and said with a smile, "I happen to have a tavern building blueprint right now. After I buy the land at the city hall, I'll start building the first player-owned tavern in Wangyue City!"

"If you agree, you can use that tavern to practice your skills in the early stages!"

The faceless passerby replied ambiguously, "I'm also quite curious about how the taverns in District 9 are different from those in other districts."

As a businessman, one should not act without first seeing the benefits.

Tianhai Chamber of Commerce is a very good chamber of commerce.

But a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a businessman who doesn't want to open a business association is not a good businessman!

Moreover, the conditions offered by Lin Hanchuan were too tempting; no businessman could resist them.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the Faceless Passerby was already tempted, Lin Hanchuan didn't say anything more. All he had to do now was prove it to him.

Head directly to the City Hall.

On the way, the faceless passerby used the Black Wizard job change scroll right in front of Lin Hanchuan, changing his job to a seven-star profession—Black Wizard.

It's worth mentioning that if players have a job change scroll, they don't need to do any job change quests; they can simply use the scroll to change jobs.

We arrived at the city hall.

Under the watchful eyes of the eight city guards, Lin Hanchuan said directly to the Faceless Passerby and Cao Renjie, "You guys stay outside first, I'm going in to buy some land!" "Okay!" everyone nodded.

Then, under their watchful eyes, Lin Hanchuan was led into the city hall by a city guard.

The city guards' gentle attitude made even the faceless passerby wonder if the rumors about the city guards' poor attitude in front of the Mochizuki City Hall were just that—rumors.

When Lin Hanchuan entered, the city guard not only had a warm smile on his face, but even opened the door for him to come in.

The service was excellent!
After Lin Hanchuan went inside, the Faceless Passerby looked at Cao Renjie and the others and asked curiously, "Were you and Brother Xiao from the same region before?"

“Yes! Please take care of me in the future!” Long Xiaochen replied first. He had heard the conversation between Lin Hanchuan and the Faceless Passerby clearly.

I didn't expect the captain to be so capable. He managed to persuade a businessman who used to belong to the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce with just a few words.

……

……

The city guard who led Lin Hanchuan in was someone he was meeting for the first time. On the way to the land transaction center, after Lin Hanchuan secretly handed him a gold coin, the guard suddenly became more talkative.

They not only asked Lin Hanchuan's name.

It also reminded him of something.

“Arakawa White Owl, let me tell you something. Recently, I went to the West Third District of the city, especially the area near the sewers. Yesterday, some of my colleagues went to investigate and found many skeletons there. Moreover, after examination, it was determined that these skeletons had not been there for very long.”

Another piece of useful information. Before entering the land transaction center, Lin Hanchuan gave him another gold coin. "Andrew, thank you for the reminder!"

"You're welcome!" Andrew grinned, clutching the gold coins in his hand. Of all the foreigners he had received in recent days, Arakawa Haku was the most generous.

Most people wouldn't give a single coin; a small number would, but it was mostly copper coins.

No one else does that, like Arakawa Hakuyo, throw out a gold coin right away.

After Andrew left.

Before Lin Hanchuan even stepped into the land transaction center, all the NPCs inside turned their gazes toward him, their eyes filled with excitement.

Charles, especially, who was sitting at the very back, immediately stood up from his seat the moment he saw Lin Hanchuan and walked over quickly. The smile on his face was the most excited of all the NPCs in the land transaction center.

"Mr. Arakawa Hakuo, you've arrived!"

Charles quickly ushered Lin Hanchuan inside and seated him in his own seat, saying, "Please sit down, please sit down!"

The middle-aged female NPC sitting at the door also took action, bringing Lin Hanchuan a cup of tea as soon as he sat down.

The other NPCs also stood up and nodded to Lin Hanchuan.

Clearly, Charles and they have reached a very good cooperation agreement.

“Mr. Arakawa Shiro, as per your previous request, we have not sold any land in Mochizuki City to any foreigner.” While Lin Hanchuan was drinking tea, Charles immediately stated his position. “Currently, as long as the city lord does not speak up, you are the only one who can purchase all the land in Mochizuki City, including those houses for sale.”

"Well done!" Lin Hanchuan nodded, approving of Charles's work. "I'm not here to investigate your work, but to purchase land."

Charles, being astute, immediately produced a land map of Moongazing City, especially the map of the land for which a deposit had already been paid.

After Lin Hanchuan left, he not only persuaded his colleagues, but also specifically asked them to help organize the land map that Lin Hanchuan had set at the beginning.

Lin Hanchuan opened it and I glanced at it to confirm that it was indeed the land I had initially decided on.

After receiving a 10% discount, Lin Hanchuan said he would pay the balance on the spot.

Charles was so excited that he quickly picked up the official seal of the Land Transaction Center of Wangyue City Hall. Several other NPCs also rushed over to help, taking out land transaction contracts, stamping them with the official seal, and handing them to Lin Hanchuan for signature.

For each piece of land, a document needs to be signed.

The system notification sounds immediately rang in Lin Hanchuan's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully reached a land purchase agreement with the Wangyue City Land Transaction Center and acquired a two-acre plot of land at No. 13, Orc Road, East Third District!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully reached a land purchase agreement with the Wangyue City Land Transaction Center and acquired a plot of land totaling 3.6 acres at No. 2, Dwarf Street, West Zone 1!"

……

……

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully reached a land purchase agreement with the Wangyue City Land Transaction Center and acquired a 5000-mu plot of farmland in the South Sixth District. Please note that this farmland can only be used for planting. If any non-planting activities are discovered on this farmland, it will immediately attract the attention of the City Hall, and the ownership of this land will be revoked immediately!"

Lin Hanchuan bought dozens of plots of land of varying sizes, scattered throughout Wangyue City.

But Lin Hanchuan didn't leave. He tapped the table and asked, "Bring out the other maps!"

"Mr. Arakawa White Owl, do you still want to buy?" Charles asked sincerely.

Lin Hanchuan's ability to spend tens of thousands of gold coins to buy land in a short period of time meant he belonged to the wealthy class.

I didn't expect them to buy it again.

Is it really that easy for foreigners to make money?
In a short period of time, a large number of gold coins were collected.

"Okay!" Lin Hanchuan nodded. "Don't worry, just sell it to me at double the price we agreed on at the beginning."

The reason Lin Hanchuan was able to get these NPCs at the land transaction center to stick with him was because he had previously promised to buy the land that had not yet received a deposit at double the price within 7 days.

The extra money was then distributed among Charles and the other NPCs themselves.

"Okay, okay!! Please wait a moment, Mr. Arakawa Shiro!" Charles nodded excitedly. After a brief period of frantic activity, the other NPCs also took out the land maps of Wangyue City that could be sold, carefully opened them, and placed them in front of Lin Hanchuan.

The funds Lin Hanchuan just used to purchase the property are to be handed over to the city hall.

But a large portion of the money spent on the doubled land purchases went to them.

With hundreds of thousands of gold coins at his disposal, Lin Hanchuan was quite wealthy and didn't bother to choose much. He pointed to the maps and said, "I want all the land for sale on this map."

“I want all the land on this map.”

Others buy by the block, but Lin Hanchuan buys them one by one according to the map.

Finally, they captured all the land on all four maps!
The payment was doubled, and a small mountain of gold coins stood in the land transaction center, almost making Charles and his companions' eyes pop out of their heads.

These people have never handled so many gold coins in their entire lives.

Since everyone's relationship with Lin Hanchuan was based on mutual benefit, no one raised any objections to such a large sum of gold coins, and the arrangement was quickly carried out.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully reached a land purchase agreement with the Wangyue City Land Transaction Center and acquired a 13-acre plot of land at No. 19, East Fourth District!"

"Ding! Congratulations..."
