Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Kal'tsit was stunned.

Then his expression changed.

"Thran, what do you mean?"

She is not stupid.

Why did she go on and on praising him just now? It was to let the president know Liu Nian's abilities so that she could legitimately recruit him into the association!

The results of it?

They were pontificating on their end, but the president immediately poured cold water on their enthusiasm.

Or in front of Liu Nian?

Thranduil didn't respond to her words, but simply looked at Liu Nian and said calmly:

"I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to make the new friends understand that the waters of the Netherworld are deeper than they imagine. No matter how good you are in your original region, you have to start from scratch here."

After he finished speaking, he nodded to Liu Nian and turned to walk to the other side of the hall.

After taking a few steps, she turned back to look at Kal'tsit:

"Oh, by the way, come to my room later, I have a task for you."

Then he walked away without looking back.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat subtle.

The few elves who were watching exchanged glances and then dispersed to do whatever they were doing.

Kal'tsit stood there, her face flushed red.

"What...what's wrong with him?!" she complained to Liu Nian in a low voice. "I'm trying to speak up for you, and he just throws cold water on me! What does he mean by 'even if he's strong, he's only level 104'?"

"That's enough," Liu Nian interrupted her.

He glanced in the direction Thranduil had left, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He was very familiar with that look in his eyes just now.

That's not a questioning of strength.

That is—the instinctive rejection a male animal feels when it sees someone it's interested in getting close to someone else.

Liu Nian found it amusing.

Is this guy interested in Kal'tsit?

Then my timing for coming here is really good.

He glanced at Kal'tsit, who was still indignant, and patted her on the shoulder:

"Your guild leader is right, level 104 is really nothing."

"You—" Kal'tsit's eyes widened, "How dare you speak up for him!"

Liu Nian wasn't speaking up for him. He hadn't planned to join the Dawn Guild in the first place and was just wondering how to refuse. Now, with the guild leader's attitude, he had a perfect excuse to leave.

But... this guy's character is really lacking! I did save your guild members, and this is how you react... Oh, you're worried that accepting me will provoke the snake people's revenge, right? But who did I offend the snake people for, not because of your guild members?

Tsk tsk... This guy is a bit clever, but unfortunately, it's just petty cleverness.

Since you're so protective of your reputation, I'll definitely have to cause you some trouble!

Liu Nian already had a plan in mind.

Kal'tsit still took Liu Nian for a walk around the area.

"Since you're already here, wouldn't it be alright if you took a look around?"

Liu Nian followed her around the hall.

Although it's not a big place, it has everything you need.

The first floor lobby is mainly a public area, with mission notice boards, a rest area, and a simple canteen. The second floor houses training rooms and storage, the third to fifth floors are member dormitories, and the sixth floor contains the guild leader's office and the core conference room. There is also a basement level, which is said to be an emergency shelter and a backup respawn point.

"At full capacity, we can accommodate three hundred people," Kal'tsit explained. "Right now we have two hundred and seventy-nine, mostly elves. There are also a small number of half-elves and humans..."

As she spoke, she suddenly lowered her voice:

"Don't take what our president said just now to heart. He's just... well, I can't really explain it, he's not usually like this."

Liu Nian nodded but didn't reply.

After walking around, the two stood at the entrance of the tower.

"Really not staying?" Kal'tsit looked at him expectantly. "The elven fruit wine in the cafeteria is especially delicious..."

Liu Nian shook his head: "Next time."

"Where are you going?"

"Just browsing around," Liu Nian said. "I'm new here, so I'll take my time looking around."

Kal'tsit sighed and waved her hand. "Alright, alright, then be careful. Contact me anytime if anything happens!"

Liu Nian smiled, turned and left.

The tower area is very large.

Liu Nian walked slowly along the stone path. On both sides were towers of different styles. Some were guarded at the entrance, some were completely closed, and some had sounds of fighting coming from them—probably the sounds of training or fighting.

Occasionally, players would walk past him, most of them between level 120 and 150.

It's rare to see someone like him who's in the 104th grade.

As Liu Nian walked along the road, he first called Wu Zhan and the others to let them know he was safe.

As Liu Nian was promoted, his pets and demon servants were also forced into their respective spaces instead of the original floating city.

As for the vassals, they remained there for the time being because they had not yet broken through level 99.

Even using the Megatron can't summon them; it's a restriction imposed by the system rules.

Liu Nian currently has no plans to help them break through their limits.

After all, we still need their help in the promotion battle.

Another issue that needs to be considered in advance is that humans will be near Altawien after their ascension, but the Abebe people and trolls obviously won't. After their ascension, they should be in the Endless Wilderness, near the Savage Fortress.

Therefore, Liu Nian also needs to take some time to go there and activate the teleportation array of the Savage Fortress.

However, he has already provoked the snake people upon his arrival, so he definitely needs to be careful.

Thinking about this, Liu Nian felt that he still needed to find a place to stay first.

Right in the tower area, Liu Nian arrived at an exquisite white building standing at the entrance, with a sign hanging above the door—

[Ovitan Adventurers' Territory Office - Reception]

Liu Nian pushed open the door and went in.

The room wasn't large, only about a hundred square meters. The walls were covered with magical projections of various towers, with prices and statuses listed next to them. Behind several curved counters sat a few NPCs in uniforms, attending to players who came to inquire.

There were seven or eight people scattered around the hall, including elves, dwarves, and two humans. In front of each person was a floating screen displaying information about various towers.

As soon as Liu Nian walked in, an elven female NPC wearing a gray robe came to greet him.

"Hello, welcome to the Ovitan Territory Office. I'm receptionist Alice. How may I help you?"

Liu Nian: "I'd like to see the price of the tower blocks."

Alice led Liu Nian to a private window, raised her hand and tapped the air, and a light screen appeared in front of Liu Nian.

"This is the list of currently available towers. We've divided them by area and tier. The outermost tier F towers start at 300 Crystal Coins per month; tier E at 500; tier D at 1000; tier C at 3000; tier B at 10000; and tier A at 50000. If you'd like to purchase one, a tier F tower costs 30 Crystal Coins, a tier E tower costs 50, and so on."

Liu Nian stared at the numbers on the screen and remained silent for two seconds.

He opened his backpack and took a look.

Gold coins: 482 million.

At an exchange rate of 1000:1, you can exchange it for 4820 crystal coins.

Forget about buying one, he couldn't even afford a month's rent for a Grade B tower!

For the first time, Liu Nian experienced what it meant to be "poor".

As for the cheapest F-class tower... he could rent it for a year or two, but the problem is, he can't spend all his money on rent.

Moreover, the F-grade tower, despite being called a tower, is actually just a small villa with three floors, totaling about 200 square meters, and roughly seven or eight rooms...

He has more than 40,000 men under his command!

Even with shift work, there's not enough room!

Therefore, it has to be at least a Grade B tower...

"Can I rent by the day?"
