Chapter 355 - 197: Cheating Lottery, Specialty, and More Specialty! (2)
Diane: [.... Alright, I’m out.]
Baiyi: [....]
Diane: [Not teasing you anymore, go send someone to pick up Lady Alena. I grew up eating her food. Okay, bye, remember to think of me.]
Baiyi replied briefly, but the young lady didn’t respond. She must have entered the Undead Plane.
Feeling a bit wistful, Baiyi pondered for a moment, then gave the order for Bodun to fetch her.
Of course, Bodun doesn’t need to fly over now. The undead can also use the Teleportation Array, and as his subordinate, Di Feng Family’s Teleportation Array doesn’t require any fee.
Nonetheless, the opening of the teleportation made the players excited, as it means their support speed will significantly increase.
If another war like the one in front of Dongwu City happens, it won’t just be two hundred thousand players involved, but a million strong player army, with an average of Bronze Middle Tier—certainly a powerful force.
Unfortunately, this does not include the players from Xiling City.
Because of the current reliance on the Magic Teleportation Array, the further the distance, the more expensive it becomes—a thousand kilometers costs fifty Silver Coins, ten thousand kilometers five Gold Coins, eighty thousand kilometers forty Gold Coins.
And forty Gold Coins is equivalent to 1,200 RMB; not many players are willing to spend that much.
However, when the Alchemy Transmission Array emerges, this cost will be halved, yet it remains equally high.
Baiyi stepped out of the laboratory. It’s Dawn Calendar 1538, January 18th. The sky is still snowing, and in the wild, this snow has become a disaster—over a meter thick everywhere. However, for the area covered by order...
These snow piles aren’t fatal; mages who reach Gold have the ability to alter the weather.
Swordsmen who reach Gold also have the power to tear clouds apart.
So for the Dawn Kingdom’s civilians, the snow catastrophe only brings low temperatures.
Meanwhile, Sabo has established many clinics in the Outer City District; though his intention is profit, it has removed the risk of disease-related death for Dongwu City’s residents.
Some attendants saw Baiyi and respectfully greeted him. Their task at this moment is to clean the snow inside the City Lord’s Mansion, although they only clear the buildings.
The garden is now a blanket of white because Luoning enjoys playing in the snow during her free time. Baiyi let her manage the garden; even in winter, she decorates the City Lord’s Mansion in her own way.
Of course, perhaps it’s the child’s nature finally starting to show indulgence.
Baiyi looked at the joy on the face of the girl in yellow, amongst the various odd-shaped snowmen, and couldn’t help but smile.
It seemed Luoning had finally let go of her initial wary attachment.....
Crunch crunch....
As Baiyi approached, the two snow-playing girls looked up at him.
"Boss Brother." Luoning greeted with bright eyes.
"Boss... Brother?" Aileen looked at Baiyi skeptically, her expression a bit off: "Boss, capitalists are annoying enough, but little Luoning isn’t even of age yet, you can’t become a villain... ouch~"
Aileen covered her forehead (つ﹁`′﹁): "Damn it, you actually hit me, are you angry because I exposed you? I’m going to tell Miss Diane, you despicable capitalist."
Baiyi felt speechless; Aileen was definitely a brat disguised as an elf, wasn’t she?
Comparing other Moonlight Elves to her....
The image of the White Moonlight of Ten Thousand Races has collapsed!
He thought of something and smiled, making Aileen instantly alert, slowly inching backward.
Baiyi’s voice came out somewhat eerily: "A year ago, you took a loan from me to buy knowledge; originally it was a little over 140,000. You paid off part, leaving...."
"Paid, this priest has money now, a mere 140,000 isn’t enough to suppress my righteous heart, here!" Aileen listened and let out a huge sigh of relief.
She immediately pulled out a Dawn Badge from her Space Ring, displaying the balance.
She looked at Baiyi triumphantly, as if saying: "You’ve still got any tricks, you capitalist dog?"
Baiyi glanced over and was a bit surprised; this elf’s stash wasn’t modest, having over 500,000!
He retorted quickly: "You worked and paid some back, still owe 120,000; with interest you’re now completely owing me 1,360,007 Gold Coins. You now pay 500,000, leaving 807,007, I’ll waive the 7,000, now you only owe 800,000 Gold Coins, remember to settle it fast."
Aileen widened her eyes: "???"
"Confused?" Baiyi smiled and said: "Simple, you haven’t paid for half a year, late payment indicates unwillingness to repay, so 50% interest compounds monthly, calculate if that’s right?"
Aileen in disbelief: "What kind of rule is that?"
Baiyi chuckled: "You said I’m a capitalist, right? Of course it’s calculated like a loan shark."
Aileen’s big eyes spun rapidly, then her face quickly switched to a fawning smile. She discreetly pocketed her Dawn Badge and sweetly called: "Boss Brother~ You’re the best, how could you be a capitalist? You’re the greatest City Lord, my admiration for you is like...."
Baiyi: ....
He felt his hair stand on end and quickly interrupted: "Scram scram scram."
Aileen turned decisively, sprinting: "Alright, bye... no, hope to never see you again, abominable capitalist!"
Baiyi looked at Luoning, who was stifling laughter, and showed some delight as well. Teasing elves was truly enjoyable, especially ones with such huge contrasts.
Seeing Baiyi looking at her, Luoning quickly contained her amusement, looking down at her toes, meekly saying: "Boss Brother, I didn’t curse you..."
