Chapter 1027 Idea
Because the man in the Nightmare Cleaner just broke into the "enemy" to check the situation, and had no intention of taking on the mission to steal Miss Ji Xiaoyan's things, so in the end he just got it. Such a piece of news, and then it can no longer go on. So, after running to Miss Ji Xiaoyan to explain everything clearly, he basically had nothing to do.
I originally planned to propose whether I should work as a bodyguard for Miss Ji Xiaoyan for free. Then it would be nice if Miss Ji Xiaoyan, the city lord, would give him some honors or something. As a result, Manager Qing Gong didn't give him a chance to say anything. When he was sending him out of the Lord's palace, he gave him a direct signal on his face. No matter how bad we clean the city, we won't even have one person to protect the Lord. Can't find them!
So, the man, Nightmare Cleaner, had no choice but to silently retreat from the city lord's mansion and wander around Qing City by himself.
As for Ji Xiaoyan, as the city lord, in addition to having to deal with some "zhezi"-like document lists about NPCs every day, and being responsible for stamping them with a big seal, agreeing or disagreeing, basically speaking , she has nothing to do. Of course, except for the imminent matter of selling the house and collecting taxes.
However, even though Ye Guang Meijiu and Miss Qingyuxi joined forces and bought many shops and several residences in Qingcheng, Qingcheng still had many shops left that needed to be sold. Therefore, in addition to protecting his city lord's token, the task before Ji Xiaoyan is how to attract investment in Qingcheng or the mainland and sell all the remaining shops. Collect the 600,000 gold coins for Qingcheng construction
So, not long after, an advertising post appeared on the four continents on the game forum. The posters are of course countless small accounts. As for the content, it means that a player-controlled city like Qingcheng is beginning to attract investment, selling shops and real estate at favorable prices, limited quantities, and many benefits. Not to mention, there are still many rich players in the entire game. Since these posts became popular on the forum, the income of Qingcheng's teleportation array has increased a lot.
Compared to other cities where real estate and shops are not easily sold, Qingcheng is really a very good place. Many players have carefully looked at the environment around Qingcheng, and the unanimous opinion is that this place is indeed very suitable for investment and development. Speaking of which, in the four directions outside Qing City, there are mid-to-high-level monsters of different levels in the wild. The lowest level is level 50, which is very suitable for the development trend of the next game; and the top-level monsters have all the monsters on their heads. The question mark should still require players to upgrade and explore. In addition, there is a giant dragon standing guard in Qing City, which doubles the sense of security. Many players became interested after consulting the prices of shops and real estate.
It’s just that if you are tempted, but the money is not in place, everything is empty, isn’t it?
So after the forum post came out and the news was released for several days, only a few dozen stores in Qingcheng were sold.
But at this time, Ji Xiaoyan was not peaceful.
After many players secretly changed hands for the mission issued by Archon Robert, a few high-level thieves were finally found to take over the order. According to the investigation of the Nightmare Cleanup Machine, the Lord of Qingcheng City had That thing was purchased and exchanged for 70,000 gold coins in the game's black market
. It is true that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Therefore, after knowing for sure that a player was coming to steal his token, Ji Xiaoyan would receive sudden notifications from the system every day, saying that he had been attacked by "XXX" players or players who had used system tools to hide their names. News of a failed attempt to steal her belongings.
"Grandpa Qing Gong, I think this is not the way to go!" Ji Xiaoyan stood helplessly in a small courtyard in the city lord's mansion, looking through the system prompts he had received these days, looking at Manager Qing Gong said: "Although they basically steal once and dodge immediately, and they have never succeeded, but this kind of thing is not necessarily the same as It's like winning the lottery. They were lucky enough to win. These thieves are each more powerful than the other. They can enter the city lord's mansion silently without being discovered. They come to me so many times every day. I can't guard against theft."
"What do you mean, City Lord?" Manager Qing Gong looked at Ji Xiaoyan in confusion and asked.
"What I mean is, how about I go out to avoid the limelight?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at Manager Qing Gong hesitantly and said, seeing that there was no big change in his expression, he continued: "Qing Gong Grandpa, you have also heard about it. Now it is said that even The black market has been set up just for my City Lord Token. If I still stay in Qingcheng and let everyone know my whereabouts, wouldn't I just stay here as a practice target for them? Why don't I go out? Hide perhaps from Archon Robert This mission has a time limit, right? Maybe as long as this time period is passed, there won't be such trouble again."
"That's what you think, Lord City Lord? Are you sure that Governor Robert is someone who gives up so easily?" Chief Qing Gong shook his head slightly and looked at Ji Xiaoyan and said, "Since the so-called black market can pay such a high price for the city lord? My lord, this token is yours, then I must be the one The remuneration offered by Archon Robert will be higher than this price, or more valuable than this."
"Yes!" Ji Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "I really didn't know this. In addition to the order to establish a gang, what else is there in the new year? Things can be so valuable. However, Consul Robert definitely doesn’t have this thing.” “Well, maybe if you go to Rhodes Town, Lord, you’ll know,” Chief Qing Gong said jokingly! He said to Ji Xiaoyan After seeing that she seemed to immediately start thinking about the feasibility, he quickly continued: "Of course, this is a joke. City Lord, please don't take it seriously. Didn't you also say that the consul is still wanted for you throughout the Eastern Continent? You can't go back now. If you go back, you will definitely be surrounded and killed!"
"I have become the city lord of Qing City, and I still can't do it when I step into the Eastern Continent! Will he be wanted?" Ji Xiaoyan asked with some disappointment. She thought that since she became the city lord, the wanted order would disappear! It has been a long time since she went back to the town to see her NPC grandfather and the very wealthy Archon Donross.
"There is no way around this. When the consul wanted you, you were not the city lord of Qing City, so during the period when the wanted order was valid, the wanted order was valid for you. This is the gift given by the Lord God. The rules. If you have the identity of the city lord, the town governor has no right to arrest you," Manager Qing Gong explained to Ji Xiaoyan.
“Speaking of it, it’s just because of my identity!” Ji Xiaoyan sighed and expressed his understanding, then looked at Manager Qing Gong and asked: “By the way, Grandpa Qing Gong, what was my proposal just now? What do you think?”
"Go away and hide?" Chief Qing Gong asked. After seeing Ji Xiaoyan nod, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked: "Then I wonder where the city lord wants to go?"
" Just take a walk?" Ji Xiaoyan said with some uncertainty. Don't think about the Eastern Continent. She really couldn't think of the specific location for a while. There is no need to go to places like the Bluestone Gate and the Land of the Dead.
Hearing this, Chief Qing Gong glanced at Ji Xiaoyan, then breathed out, looked at her and said, "Why don't the Lord of the City just change his clothes and find a few people outside the city if he has nothing to do?" Let’s join the adventurers to kill monsters and practice martial arts near Qingcheng?”
"Well, let's forget about this!" When it comes to upgrading, Ji Xiaoyan now feels completely uninterested. If old man Qingya and the others find out about her going out to upgrade, life will be miserable in the future! The NPCs at Qingshimen said they wanted to make her a martial arts master. They finally managed to solve the unexpected things that happened in the game. She had better take a good rest, look around the scenery, and appreciate this. The production of the game is relatively good. As for the level thing, to put it bluntly, she is a game novice. If it weren’t for Yan Mo, Jia Jia, and Frisman, her operation would make her more than ten levels higher than the average player, and she would still be able to do it in the end. Being played to death.
So, after entering this game, she should just earn money honestly and make her real life more comfortable and secure.
"Then why don't you, Lord City Lord, go take a look at the living area and see if there's anything you might be interested in?" Manager Qing Gong didn't know what Ji Xiaoyan was thinking, he just saw her After you lose interest in killing monsters and leveling up, immediately He suggested: "In this case, we can still protect you! If you leave Qingcheng's sphere of influence, we will not be able to follow you and protect you."
Those who can leave the city at will are generally There are only the city lord and deputy city lord. Qingcheng currently has only one city lord, Miss Ji Xiaoyan. Although Manager Qing Gong is the NPC in charge, there is no way to leave Qingcheng easily without submitting an application in advance and getting the mastermind's approval. This is the reason why all the Lords of Qingwan City escaped from Qingcheng, but Chief Qing Gong was caught in Qingcheng.
“Oh, I’ll think about it again!” Ji Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up after hearing what Manager Qing Gong said. Just kidding, if Manager Qing Gong and other Qingcheng NPCs were following her, the players would recognize her no matter what she looked like. So what is the purpose of the legendary prop mask on her face?
