Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 166 Getting Something for Nothing (10K)

"After it sprouts, use this spirit field to nurture it. How many levels can it reach within two days?" Lin Hanchuan asked, looking at Ai Li.

The monster descent event is imminent.

Lin Hanchuan wanted to use this divine-grade realm demon plant in actual combat to increase his combat power.

The level 40 King-level BOSS that the system throws out is not too difficult; I can handle it by myself in an hour.

However, a level 45 Emperor-level BOSS will only stay in a city for a maximum of half an hour. If you cannot defeat it within that half hour, it will move on to another city.

That puts a lot of pressure on you.

Lin Hanchuan currently only has the Heavenly Dao Squad and the Strategy Team, so it will be quite difficult for him to achieve the kill within the time limit.

However, with the help of a divine-grade demonic plant, things would be much easier.

The Star Descendants are one of the ten major races, the Starborn race, the master of a nine-star demonic plant, and a divine-grade demonic plant.

The combined combat power that such a team can ultimately demonstrate is terrifying.

As long as Xingchen can eventually master its use, even Lin Hanchuan himself cannot guarantee that he will be able to defeat him 100%.

Immediately afterward, Lin Hanchuan added another sentence.

"I mean the maximum that the Boundary Demon Plants can grow to quickly under the current circumstances, without me needing to invest any more resources."

Lin Hanchuan had some knowledge of demonic plants.

But Alice is undoubtedly a professional.

Instead of figuring it out on your own, you should just ask her directly.

Alice thought for a moment and replied, "Boss, if we follow your requirements, relying only on the spirit field and the fertilizer I have, plus a two-day time limit, then I can only reach level 20 at most!"

"Not bad!" Lin Hanchuan nodded in satisfaction.

The moment a demonic plant sprouts, it is considered level one.

Further upgrades will require continued investment of resources.

This spiritual field is quite remarkable, allowing the demonic plants of the realm to grow to level 20 within two days of sprouting.

Normal nutrient solution cultivation would probably take ten days to half a month to reach this level.

"Alice, I'll leave this next demonic plant to you!" Lin Hanchuan glanced at the location where the demonic plant was planted and said to Alice, "For now, let's focus on cultivating the demonic plant. We can wait and see about the rest."

"Yes, boss!" Alice obeyed Lin Hanchuan's every word.

She admired this young boss from the bottom of her heart. He had only acquired the farmland a few days ago, and not long after acquiring a large number of rare medicinal plants, he had already obtained a divine-grade demon plant seed.

She had lived in this city her whole life and had never seen anyone more capable than Lin Hanchuan.

"Are there any other planters in this city?" Lin Hanchuan asked. "Perhaps it won't be long before I start developing this entire 5000-mu farmland, and I'll definitely need a lot of planters then."

With such a large area of ​​farmland as 5000 mu, Lin Hanchuan naturally couldn't let it remain idle. Once the guild was established, he would personally arrange for people to come and take care of the farmland, and then immediately start planting.

Before that, we need to prepare everything that can be prepared in advance.

A planter is an indispensable position.

“There are many more! They're all unemployed right now.” Alice nodded repeatedly. “Boss, how many planters do you need?”

"I'll take as many as you have!" Lin Hanchuan replied immediately, "And..."

Lin Hanchuan suddenly stopped speaking.

His gaze passed over Alice and fell upon the spot in the spirit field where the seeds of the Boundary Demon Plants had originally been planted.

Alice seemed to sense something as well, and immediately turned around to look.

The seeds of the Boundary Demon Plant were planted in the upper left of the Spirit Field, in a large open space. The surrounding area was covered with the ashes of the Demon Plant Puppet and nutrient solution. To ensure that it could grow, Alice even used her Demon Plant Master ability to forcibly extract some spiritual energy from the Spirit Field and inject it into the seeds.

However, the boundary demon plant, which was originally planned to grow in about a day, was already surrounded by layers of green mist full of life less than ten minutes after it was planted.

The mist rose from the ground, and under its nourishment, the soil covering the demon plant seeds began to tremble and then crack.

Immediately afterward, a tender green sprout emerged from the soil. At first, it was just a bud, but within half a minute, two tender leaves grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Moreover, the warning is constantly getting bigger.

"What's going on?" Lin Hanchuan looked at Aili and asked hurriedly. Even though he was a layman in planting, he had already realized that something was wrong.

The growth rate of the demonic plants in the realm is too fast!

Logically, under the same resource conditions, a divine-grade demonic plant should grow much slower than a star-grade demonic plant.

But now, something outrageous is happening right before Lin Hanchuan's eyes.

When he finished asking Alice, the Boundary Demon Plant had already grown to a height of nearly five centimeters, and the tender leaves on both sides of the top were already the size of a baby's palm, with the color transitioning to dark green.

The entire demonic plant was enveloped in a dense, almost tangible, green light. The life force emanating from it was even felt by the medicinal plants planted nearby, causing their growth rate to accelerate.

Alice didn't answer Lin Hanchuan, but immediately ran to the side of the Boundary Demon Plant and tried to reach out and touch it.

But the moment Alice touched the green light outside the Boundary Demon Plant, she seemed to be electrocuted and immediately withdrew her hand. At the same time, Lin Hanchuan noticed that Alice's originally straw-like hair had dragged on the ground.

Alice looked up and said to Lin Hanchuan, "Boss, the growth of this Boundary Demon Plant has been interfered with by some unknown force. The life energy it's emitting is too concentrated!"

Interference from some unknown force?
The first thing Lin Hanchuan thought of was the powerful domain demon plant beneath his feet, whose roots spread throughout the entire Wangyue City.

However, both the [Demon Plant World] dungeon and the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon clearly imply that the Realm Demon Plant, which was once cultivated from an ordinary oak tree by the God of Demon Plant Masters, is dead!

However, obtaining the Realm Demon Plant Seeds from the [Demon Plant World] dungeon can be considered, in a sense, as descendants of that already dead Realm Demon Plant.

Could it be that it still retains some consciousness?
Lin Hanchuan frowned and asked Alice, "What level of force do you think interfered with it?"

Alice shook her head and replied, "I don't know, it's far beyond my imagination!"

"I have never seen such abundant life force in my life. It can only be achieved by watering with the legendary spring of life."

As she spoke, the medicinal plants around the Boundary Demon Plant were moving towards maturity, and the medicinal plants further away were also beginning to be affected, growing much faster!

"Is this situation good or bad for the demonic plants in the realm?" Lin Hanchuan continued to ask.

"So far, it's good!" Alice looked down at the Boundary Demon Plant. In just a short while, it had grown to ten centimeters, and six leaves had grown on its main stem.

This insane growth rate was something she had never heard of in her entire life, let alone seen.

Lin Hanchuan nodded slightly, then looked at the stars.

The plant master and his plant are closely connected.

If something happens to the demonic plant, the demonic plant master will receive the most obvious feedback. However, at this time, there was also a faint green light surrounding Xingchen.

"Brother Huang, someone is talking to me!" Before Lin Hanchuan could speak, Xingchen looked up and said with a blank expression, "He's talking to me in my head."

Lin Hanchuan quickly asked, "Who?"

Xingchen shook his head, then looked at the Realm Demon Plant and said, "It was an old man's voice. He told me that he was also a Realm Demon Plant, and had been dead for a long time, but his remaining consciousness had been imprisoned. He was in great pain, constantly wandering between life and death, until he sensed the seed of his kind. Only then did he manage to break free of the restraints and provide some life force to help it grow."

"He also said that the city is sick! Many people have problems; they are not human; they are very powerful; they killed gods; and they want to kill everyone here..."

What Xingchen said was a bit confusing.

But Lin Hanchuan knew.

It was the demonic plant beneath their feet that was speaking to the stars. It knew that the demons had invaded Moon Gazing City and that the Crescent Moon God had died.

Perhaps he was a witness to the entire process of the demon invasion of Wangyue City.

They knew who the demons in the city were playing.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Lin Hanchuan immediately said to Xingchen, "Could you communicate with it?"

"He said I could help him break the imprisonment and wipe out all non-human beings in the city, but on the condition that he would like to receive his help."

After a slight pause, Lin Hanchuan quickly added.

"Tell him again that I am the chosen one selected by the God of Magic, Luther, and that I possess the divine talent bestowed upon me by him. I am the strongest foreigner from afar. Furthermore, I am the most promising Berserker Archmage in history, and many powerful beings say that I will become a god in the future!"

The demonic plants that shroud the entire Wangyue City are at least at the eighth or ninth level of power; Lin Hanchuan wouldn't be surprised if they were called demigods.

Moreover, it was personally cultivated by the God of Plant Masters.

Even if there are only some lingering, imprisoned resentments left, it's not like a player like Lin Hanchuan, who hasn't even reached the second job advancement, will simply agree to cooperate just because you say so.

The prerequisite for reaching a cooperation agreement is...

You need to have enough chips.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Hanchuan, half-jokingly and half-truthfully, added some drama to himself on the spot to elevate his own status.

After all, when you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.

As long as you don't feel embarrassed, others will take it seriously.

Moreover, with the help of the powerful remnants of the old realm's demonic plants, it would be excellent for both dealing with the demons in the city and helping the demonic plant masters in the Starry Sky to grow.

It also allows the other party to make use of their remaining energy.

"Okay, I'll give it a try!!" Xingchen closed his eyes, and the green light emanating from his body became noticeably stronger.

Lin Hanchuan waited anxiously.

After a while.

The small realm demon plant in the spirit field had grown to a meter tall, with its main stem as thick as a thumb. After the plant was covered with dense patterns, Xingchen opened her eyes and looked at Lin Hanchuan.

"The old man said he wants you to prove that you are the chosen one selected by the God of Law, Luther. If it is true, he will support you without reservation."

Lin Hanchuan immediately said, "Let him cast a spell, any spell will do, attack me with all his might, I can stand here and take any of his spells!"

Xingchen closed her eyes again.

But this time it opened very quickly.

He said, "Okay!"

As soon as Xingchen finished speaking, a ball of green light shot out from the ground and rushed straight towards Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan hadn't reacted yet.

The ball of light struck Lin Hanchuan.

The moment the green light faded, a system notification sound rang in Lin Hanchuan's mind.

"Ding! Attacked by magic from the demonic plant of the realm—[Life Rampage], triggering the talent—[God of Magic] effect, granting immunity to the first spell damage received!"

Immediately afterward, Xingchen opened her eyes and said to Lin Hanchuan, "Brother Huang, he said he acknowledges you and will cooperate with you from now on. If you need any help within the Wangyue City area, just tell him."

A green light emanated from Xingchen and hovered above Lin Hanchuan's palm, resembling a green cloud the size of a fingernail.

The system sounded simultaneously.

"Ding! Please note that the Realm Demonic Plant is attempting to leave a contact mark on you. Do you agree?"

"agree!"

After obtaining Lin Hanchuan's consent, the green light instantly landed in his palm, condensing into an oak tree mark.

at the same time.

An aged voice echoed in Lin Hanchuan's mind.

"Hello, the chosen one selected by the God of Magic!"

Lin Hanchuan pressed his hand against the mark on his palm and said, "You can call me Huangchuan Baixiao, or Brother Huang. What do you call me?"

“Arakawa White Owl, you can call me Old Oak!” the Boundary Demon Plant replied.

"My current state is rather special. My body is dead, and my roots are all parasitized by other demonic plants. In order to prevent my roots from withering, they imprisoned my lingering will."

I can't keep an eye on things all the time. From now on, you'll need to contact me first before I can respond!

"Do you know all the demons in the city?" Lin Hanchuan immediately asked the question he was most concerned about.

The progress of the current C-level hidden mission is too slow; Lin Hanchuan doesn't even know when it will be completed.

"Yes!" the oak tree replied affirmatively. "I know everyone!"

"Could you introduce them to me?" Lin Hanchuan quickly asked, "Starting with the two deputy city lords!"

Old Oak: "I only remember their appearance, and I don't know their profession or names. This is the information I passively received, much of which was provided by the Pope before his death."

Lin Hanchuan: "That works too! I'll gather them together quickly, and you can help me determine their true identities then."

Previously at the city hall, Lord Sharp personally promised that he would summon all the upper echelons of Wangyue City to attend the day the weapons factory resumed operations.

Lin Hanchuan was heading to the city hall later, not only to buy all the land in Wangyue City at the land transaction center, but also to inform Sharp that the weapons factory was about to resume operations.

Previously, I was thinking of seizing the opportunity of the banquet to infiltrate the upper echelons of Wangyue City, and then making contact with those people one by one to identify their identities.

But with the old oak tree's help, everything became simple from then on.

"That's enough for today! They've discovered my lingering resentment, and the imprisonment has begun again! I have to go back."

Before Lin Hanchuan could say anything more...

The oak patterns on my palm faded.

Lin Hanchuan immediately looked at the Boundary Demon Plant in the Spirit Field. The green light that enveloped it had disappeared, but it was already two meters tall, with a main stem as thick as a star's arm.

The two branches extending from the main trunk are about the thickness of a thumb and covered with palm-sized leaves that rustle in the breeze.

The medicinal plants surrounding the Boundary Demon Plant also benefited from the nutrients provided by the oak tree this time. Twenty or thirty of them have already matured, and the medicinal plants further away are also approaching maturity.

Besides these, the stars have also undergone some changes.

Her rank rose from general to marshal.

Although the number of skills has not increased, the effects of the skills have definitely been enhanced.

"What level is your demonic plant now?" Lin Hanchuan asked Xingchen, looking down at her.

Xingchen replied, "Level 22, Commander rank!"

"Good!!" Lin Hanchuan nodded in satisfaction. "Excellent!!"

Like wild monsters, the hardest thing for demonic plants to improve is not their level, but their rank.

Divine grade represents the potential of a demonic plant in a realm, indicating that it can grow to the divine level in the future. It does not mean that it is divine from birth.

A level 22 handsome divine-grade demonic plant.

It is very strong in actual combat.

When paired with the Plant Master class, it can produce effects comparable to King-level Plants.

Xingchen smiled.

It wasn't because of praise.

Rather, it's because she can provide more assistance to Lin Hanchuan in future battles.

Lin Hanchuan used his gathering technique to collect all the mature medicinal plants before leaving the spirit field.

As for the Boundary Demon Plant, Lin Hanchuan planned to let it continue to grow in the spirit field for two more days to further improve its quality.

Enveloped in a milky white light, Lin Hanchuan, carrying Xingchen, arrived at the street in front of the city hall, where there was a large flow of people.

Before the faceless passerby arrived, Lin Hanchuan went to the corner.

Even though he was standing in the corner, he was still the most handsome guy in the crowd.

It kept attracting the attention of passing players.

Some people have even been updating Lin Hanchuan's current location in the public chat channel of Wangyue City.

"I saw Boss Arakawa White Owl here at the City Hall!"

"I saw it too, the boss is so handsome!"

"I'll go check it out right now!"

……

Lin Hanchuan glanced at the troubles of fame, then expressionlessly opened his personal panel and sent a message to the representatives of the top forces.

"Meet at the city hall entrance in two hours! We'll discuss the land sale. No latecomers, please!"

Finish sending the message.

He took Xingchen and headed towards the city hall. After showing the city guards the city lord's token that Sharp had personally given him during his last visit to the city hall, the guards at the entrance immediately and respectfully led Lin Hanchuan inside. Lin Hanchuan went directly to the land transaction center.

As soon as he appeared, all the NPC staff in the land transaction center stood up, looking at Lin Hanchuan with excitement and undisguised gratitude in their eyes.

As soon as the city guards left, Charles jogged over to welcome Lin Hanchuan inside, saying, "Mr. Arakawa Shiro, it's all thanks to you for not exposing us in front of the city lord last time, otherwise we would all be dead."

Lin Hanchuan laughed and said, "I, Huangchuan Baixiao, have no habit of betraying people."

The NPC staff at these land transaction centers take half of the gold coins from each land purchase.

But they kept their promise, and to date, no player in the entire Moon Gazing City, except for him, has been able to purchase land from the land trading center.

Lin Hanchuan liked people who kept their promises.

Whether he is an NPC or a player.

"Thank you so much!! Thank you!!" Charles bowed deeply in gratitude after escorting Lin Hanchuan to his seat.

The other staff members also came over to express their gratitude to Lin Hanchuan.

As city hall staff, they were well aware of Lord Sharp's methods. Last time, if Lin Hanchuan had uttered even a single wrong word, they would have been killed by the city lord.

To put it nicely, Sharp is the lord of this city; to put it bluntly, he is the sole ruler of this city.

The lives of all the residents were in his hands.

Kill whomever you want.

Especially recently, many people have died in the city.

Although there is no evidence to suggest that the deaths of these people were related to the city lord.

But who knows?
The city lord can't possibly go around proclaiming, "I killed someone!" after committing the crime.

More importantly, the relationship between Lin Hanchuan and City Lord Sharp was beyond their expectations. Having stayed at the City Hall for so long, this was the first time they had seen the City Lord personally lead people to buy land and personally see them off from the City Hall.

Even the popes of the Church of the Crescent Moon do not receive this treatment.

After expressing his gratitude, Charles immediately unfolded a map of the Wangyue City area and asked, "Mr. Arakawa Shiro, which piece of land do you plan to buy this time? We have already discussed it and decided that, starting today, all the land you purchase from us will be sold at a 30% discount, as requested by the city lord, and we won't have to give you a single gold coin!"

Now, they would never dare to ask Lin Hanchuan for an extra copper coin.

Lin Hanchuan didn't even let them vomit up what they had eaten before; they should be thankful for that.

"Mr. Charles, you're not kidding me, are you?" Lin Hanchuan knew that Lord Sharp's intimidation had worked on them, but he still asked with feigned surprise.

“No, no! That’s really what we think,” Charles said with a wry smile. “We’ve already gotten enough from you.”

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Lin Hanchuan wasn't going to be polite with them. Without even looking at the map, he asked, "If I buy all the land for sale in Wangyue City at a 30% discount, plus all the houses and buildings that the residents are selling, how many gold coins would it cost?"

Slightly shocked by Lin Hanchuan's generosity, Charles quickly reminded him, "Mr. Arakawa Shiro, the 30% discount only applies to land owned by the city hall. Houses listed for sale by residents at the city hall's land transaction center do not enjoy this treatment and must be sold at the original price."

"Okay!" Lin Hanchuan nodded. "Then please help me calculate how many gold coins I'll need to buy all of these!"

“Okay!” Charles nodded quickly, then instructed the other NPC staff, “Did you all hear Mr. Arakawa Shiro’s request? Get moving!”

The land transaction center, which is usually very quiet, has become the busiest it has ever been because of Lin Hanchuan's arrival.

All the staff were busy calculating the total price of the land in Wangyue City.

Lin Hanchuan seemed unaffected, calmly opening his personal panel.

The representatives of the top factions have already replied and are on their way to the city hall.

The faceless passerby has just left the weapons factory.

Lin Hanchuan sent him a message specifically asking him to cooperate and quickly obtain gold coins from those top-tier players.

There are simply too many lands and houses for sale in Wangyue City; it's impossible to acquire them all with just the gold coins I have.

Therefore, the only option is to first gather the funds from the representatives of those top-tier players, and then sell them to them after the land transaction center has purchased them.

The faceless passerby immediately agreed.

Long Xiaochen and his team were still farming in Green Light Lake to improve their strength for the upcoming server launch event.

The players in the Moon Gazing City public chat channel were discussing all sorts of random things, but most of the conversations revolved around the launch events and dungeon guides.

Someone in the raiding team leaked the news.

"Breaking news: The strategy team established by the master of Arakawa White Owl has completed the final version of the strategy guide for the Goblin Cave Shura-level dungeon. Strategy guides for other dungeons are also in full swing and will be available to everyone soon."

"Really? Even the big boss Arakawa Haku has not released this information to the public, how do you know?"

"A friend of mine is in the strategy team, and he told me this. Besides that, the strategy team has also been formed, and once the Silver-grade Water Bear Monster Set from the Weapon Factory is available, they will enter the [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeons!"

"Any other news? Now that the final version of the Goblin Action walkthrough has been created, why hasn't Brother Xiao released it yet? Didn't he say before that he would provide us with the dungeon walkthrough for free?"

"That's not something I know. When it will be released is up to the big boss, Arakawa Shiro. But since he's already promised, don't worry, he'll definitely release it for free. It's just a matter of time. It's also possible that there are some issues with the final version of the dungeon guide, and it's being revised."

"I can't wait! I've tried clearing the Shura-level Goblin Cave three times, and I haven't succeeded even once. I'm so angry!"

……

After browsing the public chat channel of Wangyue City for a while, Lin Hanchuan looked up at Charles and the others. Seeing that they were still busy, he didn't disturb them and continued to open the panel to enter the Advent Forum.

The launch event for the Ninth District is still generating buzz.

Many posts on the forum are still discussing the launch events.

Many of the topics were repetitive, and Lin Hanchuan glanced at them twice before giving up.

I waited for over an hour and forty minutes, feeling utterly bored.

Charles and his team finally finished their work and reported to Lin Hanchuan, "Mr. Huangchuan Baixiao, according to our statistics, if you want to buy all the land for sale in Wangyue City, as well as the houses listed by residents at the land transaction center, it will cost a total of 8,230,362 gold coins!"

"The price is reasonable!" Lin Hanchuan nodded.

The purpose of entering the land transaction center first is to let them calculate and accumulate the gold coins needed, so that they can get money from the players representing the top forces.

Lin Hanchuan has 3.4 million on hand.

It still needs less than five million, which seems like a lot.

But if each of the twenty-odd top powers contributes 200,000, that would be enough.

They can also use the land of Wangyue City to bind the top forces under Brother Hun to Wangyue City. Once the population of Wangyue City increases and they see that there is profit to be made, they will definitely pour money into it for development.

This is a good thing for Lin Hanchuan.

Developing a city is ultimately a matter of limited funds that he can invest, but if he adds in twenty or so top-tier forces, then it becomes much simpler.

Lin Hanchuan first took out all 3.4 million gold coins from his account and piled them up in the land transaction center to create a towering mountain of gold!

As the dazzling display of gold coins left Charles and his companions speechless, Lin Hanchuan said, "There are nearly 3.4 million gold coins here. Please confirm the exact amount. I will bring in the remaining 4 million gold coins later."

"We'll sign the purchase agreement together then!"

"Is everything alright?" Lin Hanchuan asked.

“Of course, no problem!” Charles immediately shook his head.

After the deal was finalized, Lin Hanchuan left the land transaction center with Xingchen.

At the entrance of the city hall, Lin Hanchuan saw the Faceless Passerby who had already arrived, along with player representatives from various top factions.

"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting!" Lin Hanchuan greeted everyone with a smile. "I've been so busy. The city lord just invited me to talk about the future development of Wangyue City."

Lin Hanchuan said this without batting an eye.

It's very natural.

After all, you can't exactly say, "I've gone to prepare the land for you."

I'll buy it at a 30% discount, and then sell it to you for ten times the price later.

Lin Hanchuan had previously considered bringing these people into the land transaction center and then having Charles sell them the land they had selected at ten times the price, according to their requests.

The thought lingered in Lin Hanchuan's mind for less than three seconds before being deleted.

Doing this can help reduce a lot of trading time.

However, if they purchase land at the land transaction center, it would mean they are directly transacting with the city hall.

If the transaction records are kept, and the city lord sees them and investigates further, not only will Charles and his group suffer, but Lin Hanchuan will also be in trouble.

So it's a bit of a hassle, I guess.

It's better than being exposed.

“We just arrived too!” Bench, who had a good impression of Lin Hanchuan, said with a smile.

Others echoed this.

"They all just arrived!"

"I've been waiting for you ever since I arrived."

……

After exchanging pleasantries,

Following the established procedure, Lin Hanchuan looked up at the Faceless Passerby and asked, "Faceless Passerby, has the land planning document for Wangyue City that I gave you before been completed?"

"All done!" The faceless passerby nodded in agreement.

"Send it to me!"

"Ok!"

The faceless passerby immediately sent the document "Future Development Plan of Wangyue City" to Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan glanced at it briefly and then forwarded it to everyone present.

“From now on, Wangyue City will basically be developed according to the plan in this plan. Everyone should take a look at it so that we can help you determine the land you need to purchase next.”

"Each faction has a purchase quota of 200,000 gold coins!"

"Business is business," Lin Hanchuan stated bluntly.

"Talking about feelings is expensive; the land price is ten times the original selling price!"

“You all know very well how low the gold coin exchange rate has dropped. When I first entered Wangyue City, I spent almost all of my wealth to acquire all the land here.”

The price of gold coins at the start of the game.

The price changes every day.

The most expensive item is on the day the server opens.

If Lin Hanchuan really did buy land with money on his first day in the city, then the value would have dropped by nearly seven or eight times by now.

That's why Lin Hanchuan said that.

That's not wrong either.

This price is truly a fair one.

“We all understand, and we are very grateful for Mr. Arakawa Shiro's generosity this time. However, the purchase limit is only 200,000. Could you raise it to 1 million? Twenty times the original price would also be fine.” Someone at the scene said to Lin Hanchuan without even looking at the planning document.

“No way!” Lin Hanchuan immediately shook his head and stated frankly, “Although the amount of 200,000 seems low, there are just too many forces present. I really plan to make Wangyue City my base in the future, so there is no way to sell more land.”

"How about 500,000?" someone persisted.

The amount of land they bought for 20 gold coins was indeed not much for them.

They can't even establish a commercial district.

"There's really no way to back down!" Lin Hanchuan's attitude was firm. If it weren't for the need to scrape together the remaining gold coins from them to buy land in Wangyue City, he wouldn't have sold them even 20,000 plots of land, let alone 200,000.

"Believe me, this investment will be the most profitable investment each of you has ever made, bar none."

Seeing Lin Hanchuan's resolute attitude.

Everyone had no choice but to agree.

After all, for them, their respective main forces did not develop here, and buying land in Wangyue City was just an investment.

"All right!!"

"Then let's do it this way, two hundred thousand it is."

……

"Then let's have a pleasant cooperation from now on!" Lin Hanchuan said with a smile. "The city lord is still waiting for me inside. You can take your time choosing land here. Once the city lord's matter is settled, I will come out immediately and transfer the land you need to you."

After saying that, Lin Hanchuan turned to leave.

At that moment, the voice of the faceless passerby suddenly rang out.

"Boss, according to the rules, a deposit is required! This is a business practice; before any business transaction is completed, the other party must pay a deposit first."

"What deposit!" Lin Hanchuan immediately turned to look at the Faceless Passerby and criticized, "They are all player representatives from the top forces, they are all friends, they don't need a deposit."

"Boss, this is the rule of business! Once a deal is struck, the other party must pay a deposit!" the Faceless Passerby said firmly. "If you really want to do business in Wangyue City in the future, you have to do this."

Whether the other party is a friend, family member, or brother, anything involving money must be clearly distinguished. These rules must be established now and become a habit.

Lin Hanchuan paused for a moment, touched his chin with his right hand as if deep in thought, and asked uncertainly, "Is that so?"

The faceless passerby has not yet answered.

Bench, standing to the side, nodded in agreement, “Mr. Arakawa White Owl, the Faceless Passerby is absolutely right. Although we are friends, this is a business transaction, and we must follow the rules.”

"Friends are friends, and businessmen are businessmen. Besides, this transaction isn't about taking money out of our pockets."

Lin Hanchuan nodded in realization and said, "I see!"

Then he wore a very puzzled and conflicted expression, muttering to himself, "How much would be appropriate?"

"We can collect 200,000 gold coins all at once," the Faceless Passerby added, "By collecting all the money, everyone can confidently choose the land they want. After you leave the city hall, you can directly complete the transfer of ownership for the land they've reserved. It's quick and easy!"

The players present nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, yes!! The Faceless Passerby is right, no wonder he's a top-tier merchant."

“Mr. Arakawa Shiro, I will transfer 200,000 gold coins to you directly first, and then transfer the land to me after you come out.”

"Me too!"

……

Two hundred thousand gold coins is an astronomical figure that is unattainable for most players.

But for these players who have the backing of top-tier forces, it's nothing, especially since this time they're using company money to demonstrate their generosity.

It left a good impression on Lin Hanchuan.

Why not do it.

"That's not a good idea!" Lin Hanchuan hesitated.

The sound fell.

The system notification sound immediately rang out.

"Ding! Please note that player 'Bench' has transferred 20 gold coins to your personal account. Please check!"

"Ding! Please note that player 'Night in the Blanket' has transferred 20 gold coins to your personal account. Please check!"

"Ding……"

Amidst a series of system message notifications, the number of gold coins on Lin Hanchuan's personal panel skyrocketed.

It quickly reached 520 million!
All the players present have already transferred their money!

"You guys! Sigh!" Lin Hanchuan looked at them, shook his head, then nodded, and then turned and entered the city hall without saying anything.

Led by the guard at the entrance, Lin Hanchuan arrived at the land transaction center.

The mountain of gold coins piled up at the land transaction center has been cleared. Charles stepped forward and said to Lin Hanchuan, "Mr. Arakawa Shiro, we have finished counting the gold coins you paid. The total is 3,395,823 gold coins!"

"Is this number okay?"

"No!" Lin Hanchuan shook his head, then took out all the gold coins in his account that he hadn't even had time to warm up yet, piling them up in the land transaction center to form a gold mountain even taller than before.

"Here are the remaining gold coins needed to purchase the land and houses. Count them carefully again. If there are no problems, we can sign the agreement in a moment."
