Can't I develop my own character?

Elite monsters dropped a lot of things, but none of them were good. The Bloodthirsty Blade was a good second-level item, and its attributes were not as good as the Demon-Breaking Blade that Lin Qi was using now, but it had a 5% blood-sucking effect which was pretty good.

Better than nothing.

There are still eight elite monsters missing for the job change mission.

After changing her job to the third-level Silent Sister, she still needs to continue hunting in this inner world.

.....

the other side.

Ryan has already sent out invitations to the "fundraising banquet", notifying almost every noble and every wealthy businessman in Berman City, in an effort to maximize the benefits of this fundraising.

He didn't interfere with Lin Qi's situation.

Frankly speaking, there is nothing to interfere with.

Lin Qi's life is as boring as it can be. After arriving at the Gate of Janus, she spends every day killing monsters and leveling up. It's even more miserable than a monk... Oh no, Lin Qi herself thinks of this kind of life as shopping, going shopping in the inner world. This is what she tells Leah every time she opens the inner world.

The high priest was worried about Lin Qi's safety at first, but after accompanying him a few times, he found that he was indeed redundant.

Although Lin Qi was not chosen by God, the professional characteristics of the Silent Sister are much stronger than those of ordinary professions. She has been grinding these days and her level has increased rapidly. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to reach level 30.

Moreover, Ryan felt that if she continued like this, Lin Qi might also have the possibility of being chosen by God. The key lies in the so-called position of the Saint.

As long as you become a saint, you can enjoy a prayer ceremony to get closer to God. God will give power to those who have talents. This year's Pope Silvia was promoted from a saint, and she once became God's chosen one in one fell swoop during the ceremony.

His strength is now unfathomable, and he is recognized on the mainland as one of the extraordinary people who is closest to God.

Ryan's idea is to win over the saint and try to be chosen by God.

After all, having tasted the sweetness of being chosen by God, he naturally wouldn't want to miss the chance to be chosen by God again.

But what can I say about this grueling job change quest? It's very difficult. Very difficult!

Even though you only need to kill 30 demon elites, there will always be a large number of other demons around these demon elites. Killing one is like stirring up a hornet's nest, and you will be killed if you are not careful.

'Lin Qi' had suffered this several times, and four of the times he was possessed by evil spirits were broken up. It was hard for the evil spirits. If it weren't for them, this mission would have been impossible to complete.

Moreover, the inner world has its own spiritual erosion, and the spiritual pollution of the outer gods will drive people who enter it crazy. Even extraordinary people dare not stay in it for too long.

Generally speaking, it will come out in two or three days.

Therefore, it would take at least ten days or half a month to complete this job transfer task.

But the level 30 Sister of Silence is really powerful, otherwise Ryan would not have chosen the character card of 'Lin Qi' to help him block the knife yesterday.

As for now...

"She's already a mature character. She should know how to level up and change jobs herself."

Ryan would clean Lin Qi's backpack every day and take out everything that could be used...but there wasn't much that could be used.

into the night.

The fundraising banquet was held on time.

The location was in the castle. When Ryan came over, most of the nobles and wealthy businessmen had arrived.

"Mayor Ryan."

"Good evening, Mayor Ryan."

"..."

In the hall, a group of people gathered around to greet Ryan.

"Mayor Ryan, where is Her Royal Highness the Princess?" a man in aristocratic attire asked urgently.

"Senator Rhodes, you're really anxious?" Ryan said with a half-smile. "You're so anxious to participate in the fundraising, I guess you brought a lot of money with you, right? I thank you in advance on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Baron Rhodes sneered, "Not much. A baron like me doesn't have much money."

"No money?" Ryan frowned. "What's going on, Rhode? This is a fundraising event specially organized by Her Royal Highness the Princess to provide pensions for the fallen soldiers. How dare you come without any money? Are you deliberately contradicting the Princess?"

"Oh, I brought it. Of course I did." Rhode's face changed slightly. "I, I just..."

"I see. You were just joking with me, right?" Ryan suddenly laughed again and patted his shoulder. "I told you, Senator Rhodes, I know you well. You're a loyal subject of the Empire. How could you be someone like Burnett, right?"

"Yes, yes, the mayor is right."

"Um... could you tell me how much you brought? I'm not urging you to donate money, but I'm worried you might be in a hurry to go out and not bring much, so I'm kindly reminding you."

“Ah, I brought…”

Rhodes hesitated and held up five fingers, "That's all.

Ryan smiled and said, "Five hundred gold coins are more than enough. Well done, Senator Rhodes. Her Royal Highness the Princess was right about you. I'm sure she'll remember your name!"

"Hey, no, no, I brought..."

Five hundred? Kill him and sell his blood!

He only brought a little over a hundred gold coins, and only planned to roll fifty of them.

In fact, fifty gold coins were already a lot for a baron without any fiefdom. Although the amount he had plundered over the years was far more than that, he was not happy about donating it to the common people.

Ryan didn't wait for him to finish and turned to look at the others.

"And you guys, let me tell you in secret, Her Royal Highness the Princess takes this fundraising very seriously!" Ryan whispered, "Think about it, why is the Princess so anxious to raise funds? She wants the hearts of the people! Having just become the new lord, the Princess is using this opportunity to win over the people, so here's your chance to show off. If you have money, donate as much as possible, and the Princess will naturally remember you. This is a golden opportunity that money can't buy, you're in luck!"

"Don't worry about that little bit of money, really. Once the situation in the territory stabilizes, are you still worried about not being able to earn it back? Once the money goes into the hands of the common people, the common people will have to spend money to buy your things. Isn't it just going around in circles and coming back to you? You've earned a favor from the princess for nothing, right?"

"That's it! If I had money, I would have bought it all by myself! The princess won't know how to thank me then."

Ryan's words made everyone's eyes light up.

Rhodes was still thinking about explaining, but after hearing what Ryan said, he stopped explaining immediately.

Grit your teeth, five hundred gold coins are five hundred gold coins. As for the princess's business, it is a big project that will cost you everything you have. If you can be remembered by the princess, your future success will not be a dream!

Rhodes was well aware of the situation. Ryan, a commoner, could sit in the mayor's position, so why couldn't he, a noble?

"Mayor, I have to leave for a while and will be back soon."

"Are you in a hurry to pee? Go ahead, hurry up, the princess will be here soon."

Rod almost stumbled as he turned around and said, "You are the one who needs to pee urgently. Your whole family needs to pee urgently. I'm going to get the money!"

The other wealthy businessmen present were all active people. When they saw where Rhodes was going, they knew what he was going to do, so they all found excuses to leave.

Their initial thoughts were similar to Rhodes's. Only a few wealthy businessmen actually brought a lot of money to take a gamble.

For example, the one who appeared in front of Ryan at this moment.

"Hello, Mr. Mayor."

The man in front of me was slightly plump, with a friendly face, decent manners, and a bit of aristocratic demeanor, but he was actually a businessman.

Jack's father, Larkin Cobham.

"Good evening, Mr. Larkin," Ryan greeted with a smile. "Don't you need to pee quickly?"

"I don't need it. I came here fully prepared."

"That's great. Her Royal Highness will definitely be happy about this."

"It was an honor."

Larkin didn't care what the princess did with the money. Even if it was just to put it in his own pocket, Larkin would not miss this opportunity.

Don’t think that giving money is easy. Knowing who to give it to and how to give it is a science.

Berman City is too small, so small that everyone's network is here, and there are only so many places, so giving money can only maintain the status quo. But now it's different. The princess has come, and the blue sky has been established.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

"Eh? Boss, father, why are you two chatting?"

Ryan turned around and saw Jack holding an appetizer.

"Jack, let me just chat with your father."

"Boss, I heard that you had a wonderful experience this time. Can you take me with you next time you have a chance? Mr. Jonathan always thinks I'm too young and doesn't want me to take risks, but I didn't join you just to enjoy life."

Listening to Jack's complaints, Ryan chuckled: "Okay, I'll give you the task next time."

"Really? That's great!"

"Wait, wait... Jack, what did you call the mayor just now? Do you know each other?" Larkin was a little confused.

"Boss, Ryan is my boss." Jack chuckled, "Father, I didn't tell you."

"Oh! For the love of Janus, is this true?"

Larkin felt that happiness came too suddenly. He originally wanted to bring Jack here to see the world, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.

He was about to speak when Ryan suddenly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Larkin, there are some things that don't need to be said. The most important thing tonight is fundraising. I believe that as long as you are sincere enough, Her Royal Highness will definitely remember your name."

Larkin nodded repeatedly and didn't intend to continue.

He was very happy in his heart. Ryan's reminder meant that the latter remembered his friendship with Jack and would help him.

But he also has to work hard.

To satisfy the princess, Ryan wanted to promote him, that would be a reason.

Thinking of this, Larkin immediately said, "Mayor, I'm also in a hurry to pee. I'll leave first."

Ryan smiled and nodded: "Go ahead."

It’s good to have an urgent need to urinate. The more people who have an urgent need to urinate, the better.

Looking at his old father's back as he left, Jack scratched his head, not quite understanding the current situation.

"Strange, my father always poops clean when he attends a banquet."

"Jack, is there any way to get those guns you gave me last time?" Ryan had no interest in whether Larkin pulled it or not.

"Ah, guns? I'm afraid that's difficult." Jack shook his head. "The market in Berman City is so small. You can't buy them just by having money. You have to go somewhere else and buy them. It will take some time."

Ryan frowned. He planned to take advantage of tonight's fundraising and use the extra money to develop the city defense army.

Recruiting soldiers is easy, but training them is difficult.

Equipment is the fastest way to improve combat effectiveness. He plans to form a musket team of a thousand people to enhance the basic combat effectiveness of the city defense army.

However, the construction of city defenses in each territory is up to the lords themselves. The Empire is not responsible. Want people? Want money? Want equipment? Go get it yourself!

"Is there no other way?"

What Ryan lacks now is time. He can't estimate when trouble will arise again.

"Not really." Jack suddenly thought of something. "Oh, right, I heard from my father that a gilded group will be coming tomorrow. Boss, if you want to buy a gun, they're definitely the right place to go."

"Gilded Group?" Ryan was stunned. "What a familiar name..."

"They're a group of merchants who believe in the God of Order. They travel around the Northern Continent, signing contracts and conducting business everywhere. My father told me that the people in the Gilded Group are all carrying valuable goods!"

"The God of Order? Oh, I remember now."

Ryan remembered that the Gilded Group and the Contract Merchants were just mobile stores in the game, right?

That group of people believed in order and emphasized equality in contracts. They always carried a lot of good stuff with them and did very big business.

But don't underestimate the fact that they are a merchant force. There is never a shortage of strong people in the Gilded Group. Those who want to attract their attention or violate the spirit of the contract will be sent to see the God of Death by the Gilded Group.

Ryan planned to make preparations and wait for the Gilded Group to come.

Those guys seem to be doing business not only with ordinary people, but also with extraordinary people.

"I've saved up so many soul jades, and now they're finally useful."
