Chapter 87 Second Meeting

Singo, Mantou, Tiansheng Zhankuang and Xia Ye Qiu Yu gathered in the square again. At this moment, they had gotten rid of the nickname of "The Four Black Slave Gang", which even aroused the resentment and dissatisfaction of some players.

The security guards are fine, they just arrest illegal and criminal activities, effectively preventing newbies from being robbed by high-level thieves, and maintaining basic order in the city of Batto, but Singo's tax collectors are different.

During his tenure, Singo worked actively and often offered suggestions, proposing a variety of taxes such as property tax, income tax, and union tax, many of which were adopted.

These suggestions effectively increased the financial income of Batto City, and he himself also got a lot of share, earning him the reputation of "Xin Papi".

Especially the guild tax, which requires the guild to pay a higher amount of tax in proportion to its collective income. The guilds hate it so much that they even start to bring people to block the door.

Mantou, dressed in a security guard uniform, stared at Singo: "Damn, you've been so aggressive lately, and you dare to show up in the square. Aren't you afraid of being assassinated?"

Tiansheng Zhan Kuang touched his bald head and chuckled, "Didn't Wang Quan's president threaten to paint you on the city wall?"

Singo crossed his arms, 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, they will pay taxes normally, and everyone will be at peace."

His tone was somewhat excited: "How is it going? Have you reached the required contribution to the camp? I am currently at 31,000."

"Seize the young master?"

"Thirty thousand?"

At first Mantou thought he had heard it wrong.

Singo pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Increasing Batto City's tax revenue by 600% in one month, this contribution is not too much."

Mantou said in praise: "No wonder people want to block your door, you are stealing food from others' mouths."

Xia Ye Qiu Yu said: "My current level is 12700, but I prefer the Dragon Vein Warlock. However, I feel that the half-dragon template is a bit too ugly, so I have now switched to a third-level warlock."

Singo said disdainfully: "Haha, appearance is nothing compared to strength."

Xia Yeqiuyu was so angry that her eyebrows were raised.

The natural warrior said sheepishly, "I'm a little afraid of heights, so I'll just buy a half-dragon gift, and there's no need for a flying mount or anything like that."

Mantou was surprised and asked, "Brother, are you still afraid of heights?"

Singo also made a rare joke: "Why aren't you afraid of heights when you're chopping up other people's motherships with your ship-slashing sword?"

Tiansheng Zhan Kuang touched his bald head, chuckled, and said, "At that time, I was in outer space and couldn't see the ground below, so I wasn't afraid of heights. But when I fell into low-Earth orbit and saw the surface of the planet, I was still quite scared."

Steamed bun:"."

He was silent for a while before saying, "My current contribution value is 12500, 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 words on it were still like a burning flame.

"Now is the harvest time!"

"set off!"

Everyone came to a safe secret room and used this [Mysterious Invitation].

All I can say is that Singo was indeed foresighted. The price of this invitation letter on the black market has been driven up to nearly a hundred gold coins, and most of them are in the hands of those financially strong guilds. It is almost impossible for ordinary individual players to get it.

[Confirm to use the [Mysterious Invitation]! ]
It was still the familiar flame portal and the long, narrow, dark corridor, and the four of them were already familiar with it.

"Are all the lines ready?"

"Well, I won't be as reckless as you and lose my favorability for nothing."

"That's not your fault!"

As the lights lit up, a mysterious half-dragon, half-human warlock appeared at the end. Cassius adopted the tone of an NPC and said slowly, "It's nice to see you again, warriors from the unknown realm. Have you completed the task I assigned you?"

Singo stepped forward and answered calmly, "Yes, Lord Cassius, we have revealed the blood and tears of the tieflings. I believe those hypocritical people will pay the price they deserve."

"You guys did a great job."

Cassius nodded slightly. Everyone couldn't tell what was meant by his golden eyes, so they had to agree.

Mantou woke up in a low voice: "Hurry up and buy something, this invitation should be time-limited."

Singo said disdainfully: "Do you understand what maximizing benefits means? Only by clinging to the leader of the faction can you profit from the next mission."

However, even though he said this, he still opened the store template in his hand.

"Lord Cassius, I want to buy some equipment."

“Hunting longbow, with bonuses to attacks against monsters. When aiming, it can give the enemy a hunter’s mark, which increases accuracy and causes continuous extra damage. The price is 80 gold coins.”

"I bought it."

Singo showed a rather painful expression on his face, but continued speaking.

"Burning Ring. Your weapon attacks will cause additional stackable fire damage to the enemy. Price: 40 gold coins."

"Bought."

Singo gritted his teeth and continued, "Vibrating Scale Armor, adds three extra armor points, and has a chance to grant the enemy the [Vibrating Static Electricity] effect when attacked. The price is... 100 gold coins.

"I bought it!"

Singo presented the bulging bag of money with both hands.

There was a painful "jingling" sound coming from his purse.

Cassius took the gold coins, rummaged around casually, and took out the three pieces of equipment that were sparkling with magical light from his dimensional bag.

"They're yours."

Everyone watched with bated breath. This was not magic at all; it was simply the glow of money.

When Mantou heard these numbers, he was even more stunned: "Fuck, Xin Gou, are you robbing a bank?"

"Where did you get so many gold coins?"

Singo got the equipment, touched his shrunken wallet, and forced a smile: "Isn't this little bit of gold hard to come by?"

"Every time the tax collector receives extra taxes, he gets a commission."

"Yes, I'll give it to you. This is the compensation for the equipment I sold you last time, and the credit for your favorability will be included in the total."

"Ding--"

With a crisp sound, he threw the [Burning Ring] over like flipping a coin, and Mantou hurriedly caught it, fearing that this precious thing would be bumped.

"It adds up to more than 200 gold coins..."

"No wonder those guilds are after you. You're not just a tax collector, you're simply robbing people."

Mantou was amazed.

The Burning Ring can be regarded as a magical equipment for warriors 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."
