After coming downstairs, the girls in the Silver Maple Studio were really waiting for the old demon. [Full text reading]

The old demon apologized shamefully: "I'm sorry, I forgot the time, I made you wait for a long time, why don't you eat it first?" ”

The quiet girl was angry, her face was red, and she didn't pay attention to the old demon, but Su Hui smiled slightly and said, "Everyone is together every time we eat, why don't we wait for you?" ”

Seeing the old demon sitting down in front of the dining table, Didi added a bowl of rice to the old demon, handed it to him with a pair of chopsticks, and said with a slight smile: "It's good that you came down, otherwise, the next meal will have to be reheated again!" ”

The old demon smiled at Didi gratefully, and by the way, he took the opportunity to pick up the dishes and chopsticks and secretly scratched the inside of her palm, so that Didi, the girl, sat back with a red face.

Yang Yongle and the others naturally saw his action, and couldn't help but give the old demon a funny look, now that everyone has arrived, everyone will naturally start eating.

During the banquet, Glow Dance Steps asked the old demon, "What's going on where you do the main quest?" Why can't I reach you? As soon as I sent a message, I was prompted by the system that it was in a special area! ”

"There's something weird about that place!" The old demon explained while eating: "I don't understand what's going on, anyway, that's how the system is set up, fortunately, it can be offline at any time, otherwise, I'm really stuck there!" ”

"And how did you do with your mission?" Yang Yongle asked, "Tell us, have you won any rewards?" ”

The old demon originally wanted to talk to them, so he told them about the situation in the Shadow Temple, and after listening to it, the girls couldn't help but smack their tongues, Wen Ting stuck out her tongue and said: "Fortunately, I'm not the Shadow Clan, otherwise, I won't do this main quest if I am killed!" ”

"That's right, Tingting, you're most afraid of the dark!" When the girls reacted, they laughed at her and laughed together.

And after hearing that the reward that the old demon got by passing the first layer turned out to be a piece of Twelve Saints Rune and a weapon fragment, the girls were a little flustered.

The old demon didn't expect them to react so much, and he didn't know what was going on for a while, and glanced at Yang Yongle in surprise.

"That's right!" Yang Yongle explained to the old demon: "Shortly before you came down, we just saw a post on the official forum, and as you know, our online time is usually daytime, and at midnight yesterday, someone in the global server played the third artifact!" ”

"The third artifact?" The old demon asked with some surprise, "Does this have anything to do with what I got from doing the task?" ”

"Of course it does!" The quiet girl snatched the conversation and said, "Because the player sent a post afterwards, saying that he got it by doing the main quest plot!" It was an orc warrior player, and what he got turned out to be an axe of the god of war! ”

The old demon still didn't figure out where the connection was, and before he could ask, Wang Ke explained lightly: "Do you know? The Warring States of Xiaoyao Villa, that dragon knight spear was also obtained from the main plot......"

The old demon suddenly suddenly said: "You mean to say that if you do the main story quest, it is possible to get an artifact?" ”

"Hmm!" Glow Dance Steps nodded and said: "At least for now, it seems that this is indeed the case, of course, this is just a guess, I think, this may also be a matter of probability, after all, there are so many players of the same race, and it is impossible for everyone to get the artifact after completing the main quest, this thing is originally limited in quantity, whether you can get it, it really depends on luck!" ”

"Maybe the weapon fragment you got could be your Shadow Clan's artifact!" Didi also said excitedly at this time: "Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten such a confusing reward, right?" ”

"That's right!" Yang Yongle nodded and said, "If you guess correctly, if you have completed all the tasks of the Shadow Temple, you can gather the fragments of that weapon into an artifact!" ”

"Impossible!" The old demon shook his head and said, "What if not?" Don't think too much about it, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, anyway, the two short swords I use now are quite handy, whether he can get it or not. ”

As soon as he said this, the old demon suddenly remembered that the bloody hand was coming again, and I don't know if when he cleared the customs, he also got the weapon fragment like himself, if so, it means that he didn't just get it, but a regular task reward weapon.

Turning his head, the old demon said to Didi: "Oh, by the way, Didi, I met the bloody hand this time, and he asked me to hand over an ice mage suit to you, saying that I wanted me to apologize to you on his behalf, and I will give it to you when I finish the mission!" ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole living room suddenly fell silent, and the girls all looked at the old demon in astonishment.

And Didi was a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to react.

To be honest, when I was on Coleman Island, although I knew that Bloody Hand was the old demon's former comrade-in-arms, but because Bloody Hand's behavior caused Didi to cause some psychological damage, although the girls didn't say it, they were still a little afraid of Bloody Hand.

Now they heard the old demon say that the bloody hand actually apologized to Didi and gave a piece of equipment as an apology, and they felt incredible anyway.

"This ......" Yang Yongle asked hesitantly, "Is it really the bloody hand who said that?" ”

They couldn't believe it, and thought that the old demon had made a set of equipment by himself and wanted to do a favor for the bloody hand.

The old demon shook his head and said, "It's true, I don't need to lie to you!" That guy, he's quit the North American Terminator Guild since the end of the cross-server tournament, and now he's a lone ranger, and it seems that his mood has stabilized, and to be honest, I was just as surprised as you when I first heard him. ”

Thinking of what the old demon told them about the grievances between the bloody hand and the old demon, the girls felt a little embarrassed, and the glow dancer sighed and said, "That's also a poor person......

And Didi nodded obediently and said, "You tell him that I'm not angry with him anymore, as for the equipment, you better give it back to him, I don't need it." ”

This empathetic little girl, I don't know if she really doesn't get angry with the bloody hand, or if she doesn't want the old demon to worry, so she said so, but no matter what, the old demon knows that the apology of the bloody hand guy has been conveyed by herself.

So he smiled and said to Didi: "You can just take it when the equipment comes, I know that guy's temper very well, and he will never take back what he sent, anyway, that guy has money, let's fight the local tyrants!" ”

Hearing what the old demon said, Didi obediently nodded and agreed, provoking the girl to rush over and hug her face, kiss and kiss, and said, "Sister Didi, you are so cute, I love you to death!" ”

After everyone laughed for a while, Yang Yongle brought up the matter with the old demon and said, "Do you know, the territory tax has been calculated in the past two days, and there are more than 90,000 gold coins!" ”

"So much!?" The old demon was also shocked, it's only been two days, and the tax revenue of this territory is almost enough to buy a catapult!?

"yes!" Yang Yongle nodded and said: "To be honest, when I saw this number, I was also taken aback, you know, in the past two days, the players of our three mercenary groups have the majority of their consumption in Red Leaf Town, as the owner of the territory, the players of our three mercenary groups can enjoy a six-fold discount in the territory, but even so, the total amount of taxes adds up to so much, I don't dare to imagine that after the development of Red Leaf Town, the tax will be as high as it will be, those foreign players, You can enjoy less than 6% off! ”

As the player's territory, all the things sold in the NPC shop in the town will have a tax component in it, of course, this tax rate is set by the owner of the territory, some are high and some are low, in Red Leaf Town, the tax is set by the three mercenary groups after discussing together, set at 20%.

Don't look at this 20% is very small, but in fact it is not calculable, like the medicine sold in the NPC pharmacy, if a bottle is sold for one gold coin, then 20 silver coins will be paid to the territory owner as a tax, generally speaking, if a player replenishes the medicine, it is impossible to buy only one, right? In this way, the tax earned from a player alone is a lot of money.

And aside from the medicine, when the player borrows the NPC's sewing table and the blacksmith table in the town to practice life skills, there is also a tax, and if the player sells the things he hits to the store, there is also a tax, in addition to the city entry tax, the teleportation array use tax, etc., the means of collection are varied.

Of course, how to customize this tax rate is also a science, the system will adjust the selling price of store items according to the tax set by the territory owner, 20% of the tax will cause a bottle of potion to sell for a gold coin, but 30% of the tax, may cause a bottle of potion to sell for two gold coins, so the territory owner cannot set the tax too high, otherwise, the price of your territory is too expensive, and the player will not come.

I know that this kind of tax collection is really profitable, but making money to this point does surprise everyone, it seems that it is indeed a very wise choice to choose Red Leaf Town, and when Red Leaf Town becomes famous in the future, and the flow of people is increasing, just relying on taxes can make the studio's monthly income several times.

"Although this tax has been paid, what should be invested is still to be invested!" The old demon thought for a while and said, "The city wall should be strengthened, the defense tower should also be upgraded, in short, the defense force of Red Leaf Town should be guaranteed first." ”

"Well, that's what I thought too!" Yang Yongle nodded and said: "I have already agreed with the celebrities in the world, this part of the tax will be given priority to the construction of engineering workshops in the town, so that we can produce war machinery by ourselves, and if we have these war machines at that time, we don't have to worry if others attack the town." ”

"Hehe, you just have to look at it!" The old demon smiled: "Let's eat first, after eating, I will continue to play the game to do tasks, and strive to finish the tasks as soon as possible, and then I can go back to Red Leaf Town to help!" ”
