Chapter 87 Second Meeting
Singo, Mantou, Tiansheng Zhan Kuang, Xia Ye Qiu Yu gathered in the square again. At this moment, they have gotten rid of the nickname of "Black Slave Four", and even caused resentment and dissatisfaction among some players.
The security guards were fine. They only arrested illegal and criminal acts, effectively preventing newbies from being robbed by high-level thieves, and maintaining the basic order in Batto City, but Singo's tax collector was different.
During his tenure, Singo worked actively and often made suggestions. He proposed a variety of taxes such as house tax, income tax, and guild tax, many of which were adopted.
These suggestions effectively increased the financial income of Batto City, and he himself got a lot of share and got the reputation of "Xin Ba Pi".
In particular, the guild tax required the guild to pay a higher amount of tax in proportion to its collective income. The guilds hated it so much that they even started to bring people to block the door.
Mantou, dressed in a security guard suit, stared at Singo: "Damn, you've been so active recently, and you dare to appear in the square. Aren't you afraid of being assassinated?"
Tiansheng Zhan Kuang touched his bald head and laughed: "Didn't the president of Wangquan threaten to paint you on the city wall before?"
Singo crossed his arms and was confident: "It's okay, I have reached a 'tax non-proliferation agreement' with them. I won't submit a new No. 3 tax plan, they won't bother me, pay taxes normally, and everyone will be in peace."
His tone was a little excited: "How is it, have you reached the requirements for your camp contribution? I am now 31,000."
"Duo Shao?"
"31,000?"
Mantou thought he had heard it wrong at first.
Singo pretended to be calm and said: "Increasing the tax revenue of Batto City by 600% within a month, this contribution is not too much."
Mantou praised: "No wonder people want to block your door, you are stealing food from others."
Xia Ye Qiuyu said: "I am 12700 now, but I prefer the Dragon Vein Warlock, but I feel that the half-dragon template is a bit too ugly, and now I have changed to a third-level warlock."
Singo said disdainfully: "Haha, appearance is not worth mentioning in front of strength."
Xia Ye Qiuyu was so angry that her eyebrows were raised.
Tiansheng Zhan Kuang said embarrassedly: "I'm a little afraid of heights, so I just need to buy a half-dragon gift, and there's no need for flying mounts or anything like that."
Mantou was surprised and said: "Brother, are you still afraid of heights?"
Singo also teased: "Why aren't you afraid of heights when you're holding a ship-slashing sword and slashing other people's motherships?"
Tiansheng Zhan Kuang touched his bald head, smiled, and said: "At that time, in outer space, I couldn't see the ground when I looked down, so I wasn't afraid of heights. When I fell into low-Earth orbit, I was still quite scared to see the surface of the planet."
Mantou: "."
He was silent for a while before saying: "My current contribution value is 12,500, which should be enough to buy the Red Scale Token."
Mantou's tone was also quite excited. He had been waiting for this moment for too long.
Singo took out the invitation letter that he had prepared long ago, and the handwriting on it was still like a blazing flame.
"Now is the harvest time!"
"Let's go!"
Everyone came to a safe secret room and used this [Mysterious Invitation Letter].
I can only say that Singo was indeed foresighted. The price of this invitation letter on the black market has been hyped up to nearly 100 gold coins, and most of them are in the hands of those wealthy guilds. It is almost impossible for ordinary individual players to get it.
[Confirm to use [Mysterious Invitation Letter]! ]
It is still the familiar flame portal and the narrow and dark corridor. The four of them are already familiar with it.
"Have you prepared the lines?"
"Well, I won't be as reckless as you and lose my favorability in vain."
"That's not your fault!"
As the lights lit up, the mysterious half-dragon, half-human warlock appeared at the end.
Cassius took the tone of the NPC and said slowly: "It's nice to see you again, warriors from the unknown realm, have you completed the task I assigned?"
Singo stepped forward and answered calmly: "Yes, Lord Cassius, the blood and tears of the tieflings have been revealed by us, and I believe those hypocritical people will pay the price they deserve."
"You did a good job."
Cassius nodded slightly, and everyone could not see the meaning in his golden eyes, so they had to agree again and again.
Mantou whispered: "Buy things quickly, this invitation should be time-limited."
Singo said disdainfully: "Do you know what maximizing benefits means? Only by holding on to the thighs of the camp leader can you make a profit in the next mission."
But although he said so, he still opened the store template in his hand.
"Lord Cassius, I want to buy some equipment."
"Hunting Longbow, has a bonus to attacks on monsters, and can give the enemy a hunter's mark when aiming, which can increase accuracy and cause continuous additional damage. The price is 80 gold coins."
"I bought it."
Singo showed a rather painful expression on his face, but continued.
"Burning Ring, your weapon attacks cause additional stackable fire damage to the enemy, the price is 40 gold coins."
"I bought it."
Singo gritted his teeth and continued; "Vibrating Scale Armor, the armor is increased by three extra times, and there is a chance to give the enemy the [Vibrating Static Electricity] effect when attacked, the price is... 100 gold coins.
"I bought it!"
Singo presented the bulging purse with both hands.
The purse made a "ding-dong" sound that made him feel painful.
Cassius took the gold coins, rummaged around, and took out the three pieces of equipment that were shining with magic from the dimensional bag.
"They are yours."
Everyone watched with bated breath. This was not a magic light, but the brilliance of money.
Mantou was even more stunned when he heard these numbers: "Damn, Singo, did you go rob a bank?"
"Where did you get so many gold coins?"
Singo got the equipment, touched his shriveled wallet, and forced a smile: "Isn't this little gold easy to get?"
"Tax collectors get commissions every time they receive extra taxes."
"Here, I'll give it to you. It's the compensation for selling your equipment last time, and the account of favorability will be counted together."
"Ding——"
With a crisp sound, he threw the [Burning Ring] over like a coin, and Mantou hurriedly caught it, fearing that this expensive thing would be bumped.
"It's more than 200 gold coins in total..."
"No wonder those guilds are hunting you down. You're not a tax collector, you're just robbing money."
Mantou was amazed.
The Burning Ring can be regarded as a warrior's god equipment in the early stage. It adds fire damage without any brains, and can be used in both melee and ranged combat.
However, he carefully held the ring that was gleaming with flames, thinking to himself, "Xin Gou may have a bad temper, likes to put on airs, and never gives people face, but he's still okay."
