Chapter 11 Stupidity is contagious
Yang Wei stood stupidly on that familiar street corner, and he couldn't wait for the girl who smiled at him any longer.
Although she deceived herself.
But at least there are still people willing to lie to him!
......
After dealing with the goblin and witch incidents, Rhodes was in a very comfortable mood, and most importantly, the witch was too valuable, and it was sold for a high price of three hundred gold coins in the last room!
Sure enough, a witch who was blessed by a witch.
The value is high.
Look at the golden coins on the table.
Rhodes had a feeling of being alive.
In addition to the 200 gold earned by cutting the player's leeks, the musket left by the witch can earn 500 gold if you sell it.
If you add it up, there is a total of 1,000 gold.
After deducting the 200 gold protection fee issued to the great wizard Ivan this month, and the 50 gold for activating the astrolabe, he should have forgotten it and stopped giving it to him.
Guard regiment, a total of 300 people.
It is divided into trainee guards, regular guards, and senior guards, and the salaries of each level are different, and it seems that I already owe them a month's salary.
It's been almost all in a state of strike this month.
According to the employment agreement, there is no money to be made if you don't work, and this month the salary of the guard regiment is halved.
The sewer cleaner is gone, and he won't have to be paid this month.
The wages of 7 servants in the castle.
The salaries of 3 clerks in the Avia store.
......
Rod took the pen and calculated it carefully.
Originally, he didn't have to do these things.
Three years ago, Neverwinter also had a financial assistant officer to help him take care of his finances, but later the financial assistant officer felt that the salary of 5 gold per month was too low, and hoped that it would rise to 10 gold.
Rhodes thought twice.
I had to fire him, and I started my own financial work, and I found that it was not so difficult, and the assessment of everyone was a little stricter, but I could save at least 100 gold every month.
After Rod made a careful calculation, the salary to be sent out this month:
Grand Sorcerer Ivan: 200 gold.
Guards: 231g
Captain Gray: 20 gold
Castle Servant: 12g
Avia Shop: 6 gold
......
Total: 469g
Depending on the situation, the money in hand is still enough, and there is no need to sell the musket.
Rhodes thinks that the musket can be left as a self-defense weapon, which doesn't work for people like Gray, Loth, and the Great Wizard Ivan, but for Rhodes, it is indeed a big killer.
Now he is even a little expecting that those who have bad intentions towards him will quickly send a few more people of such value to assassinate him.
Bring muskets every time.
Other rare items are also available.
Come a few more times, and you will be developed.
......
In this witch hunt, although the strangers failed to kill Liana, according to the mission, they did complete the task.
As a trustworthy city lord.
Rhodes had to grant them citizenship.
Rhodes used a quill pen to fill in a piece of identification, although the information was all forged by him, but after pouring fire paint and stamping the seal of Neverwinter.
It's legitimate!
This kind of paper is produced in the town of Autumn Leaves in the south, which is particularly expensive, one requires 5 copper plates, and the golden fire paint is also very expensive, and it also costs 3 copper plates for one use.
When Rhodes handed over the twenty-four citizenships to the guards at the city gates, he also emphasized: "Every stranger who comes to receive citizenship will be charged five silver coins." ”
"Understood, City Lord."
Those players who did the witch hunting quest finally understood the importance of citizenship after some inquiry, and with this identity, they could buy a house in Neverwinter.
They found that this game was too hardcore, there was no such thing as a storage box at all, and the materials they had hit, if they were not sold to the city lord, they could only carry it with them.
Once you die, in addition to the rotten clothes and weapons that you are born with, the rest of the items you carry will really fall off.
But with citizenship, it's different, you can buy a house in Neverwinter, so you can put the materials in the room, and you don't have to worry about bringing a bunch of materials to fight monsters every time.
And just when they went to get their citizenship certificates in high spirits, their faces instantly turned black.
After working hard for a long time, I did a money-losing task.
In the end, you have to put 5 silver coins upside down.
One player couldn't help but raise his middle finger at the castle and scolded: "Old thief Rhodes, wash your ass, one day I will let you learn my Awei 18 style." ”
When this player named Li Qiushuang said this, one of the players next to him suddenly kept a certain distance from him and looked at him in shock.
Li Qiushuang, who realized that something was wrong, looked at his friend: "Slip of the tongue, it's right to wash your neck." ”
"You're definitely not a slip of the tongue."
"Don't think crooked."
"It's over, I'm not clean anymore, and you tricked me into sleeping with you for several nights."
"I'm not that kind of person."
"So what was on my ass last night."
"Phones."
"I believe you're a ghost!"
......
Nowadays, Rhodes's greatest pleasure is to visit the chat groups and forums of these strangers, because there is always something interesting to discover.
This group of strangers is also planning:
How to assassinate the city lord!
"Ugh." Rod couldn't help but sigh with emotion, was he really cursed by the witch, why did everyone want to assassinate him!
However, I also found some interesting things, many strangers are complaining that there are too few tasks and the game experience is too poor!
"I love to do tasks so much, did you say it earlier?"
After cleaning up the goblins in the sewers, Rhodes found that almost all of these players had been promoted to level two, and some of them had even been promoted to level four.
Looking at the half-human-high reports on the table, Rhodes was still struggling with how to deal with these problems last week, since strangers are so enthusiastic, they have to give them something to do.
Rod pulled out a copy of the report.
"Luomu Village, in the past two weeks, has been frequently attacked by soil and sand beasts, 20 acres of wheat fields have been destroyed, 37 acres of sweet potato fields have been destroyed, and crops have suffered heavy losses.
The Earth Sand Beast is a common monster in the North, covered in a layer of mud and gravel, and has a high defense despite its inflexible movements.
It is very likely that ordinary weapons will curl their blades, and those guards are reluctant to use their own weapons to cut down the earth and sand beasts, and this matter has been put on hold.
Fortunately, this monster is more greedy and does not hurt people, and so far it has not caused much impact except for the destruction of farmland.
The average level of the earth sand beast is level five, and the current strangers can beat these earth and sand beasts, but the ants bite the elephant to death, at least in terms of numbers, the strangers have an absolute advantage.
------
Mission: Expel the Sand Beast
Difficulty: ⭐
Description: Luomu Village, which has been frequently attacked by earth and sand beasts in the past two weeks, please go to Luomu Village to expel those monsters that destroy farmland, the number is limited, first come, first served!
Rewards: 2 credits, 500 XP
------
Although the minimum reward for this quest is 1 silver, this time Rhodes was a little more generous and directly increased to 2 silver.
Rod felt that he couldn't prostitute every time, a word he learned from a foreigner's forum, talking about those who read books and didn't vote for recommendations.
White prostitution is really bad.
Give them a little reward once in a while, otherwise the stranger will have no incentive to take on the task.
Now that they have realized the importance of citizenship, Rhodes intends to reward citizenship when something important happens.
......
Rhodes flipped through another report.
"Dorne Fortress, due to heavy snowfall today, a large avalanche has been triggered, and the road to Neverwinter has been buried, I hope Lord Rhodes can send soldiers to help clear the snow."
Rhodes really had a headache, and he hated the hell of the North more and more.
Natural disasters, animal disasters, man-made disasters!
Why did his ancestors have to stay here and not move to the warm south, Rhodes really wanted to go south to see the sea and the passionate girls on the beach.
In addition to these tasks.
Rhodes has added an additional mission.
------
Mission: Collect flint mushrooms
Difficulty: ⭐⭐
Description: Help the City Lord collect igneous mushrooms on the outskirts of the Misty Forest, and each igneous mushroom can be exchanged for 5 silver coins at the Avia Shop.
Completion Requirements: Collect 5 or more.
Reward: 300 XP
------
Although the north is a place where birds don't poop, in a way, the resources in the north are quite abundant.
Directly west of Neverwinter is a misty forest, which has long been regarded as a forbidden place, and few people have set foot in it, even the great wizard Ivan did not dare to enter it at will.
A frog could kill you.
A mosquito can kill you.
But the resources inside are really abundant, like this igneous rock mushroom, it is the alchemy material that alchemists dream of, and it is also the largest elemental medium for great wizards.
In the imperial capital, a fire rock mushroom can be sold for a high price of 1 gold coin, as long as the stranger is willing to collect it, the difference in the price earned from it can be used to subsidize those tasks that are not profitable.
As long as it works well, not only can it solve all the troubles in the north, but it can also give this group of strangers a task to do, and they can also make a lot of money.
"I'm such a genius."
"Hahaha."
Rod couldn't help but laugh maniacally.
And Luosi, who was serving Rhodes in the afternoon, frowned slightly after hearing the young master's wild laughter.
In the past few days, she found that the young master was always smirking there alone, looking a little dazed.
She was a little worried.
It is said that stupid people are contagious, and Young Master Rhodes has been in contact with this group of stupid strangers recently, so he shouldn't be infected with stupid disease.
