Chapter 110 (New Policy Announcement)
When I was about to return to the city, I accidentally kicked down an ice cube. Strangely, it produced a clear echo…
It hit the bottom. It turned out that I had reached the valley of this Land of IceWind. When I was killing the monsters, I was too focused to notice that I had already walked so far down the path. I stretched out my head to look down and suddenly, my mind went blank when a “buzz” sound hit my brain.
Heaven, the joke was really too much.
The large valley ground was overflowing with monsters. They covered the s.p.a.cious valley endlessly as far as the eyes could see, all kind of monsters filled the place. The all transparent Shivering Ice Devils, the ax-carrying Blue Devils, the stealth a.s.sa.s.sins hidden in the darkness, and also the big Yetis. They were all between the level 42 and level 45, just perfect for my current level. Unfortunately, their numbers were really too much and most of them were long-range monsters. If I were to just stupidly jumped down from the shocked, most probably, I would be insta-killed right away.
The monsters down there were all low Defense, low Health, and high Experience. Although it would be foolish, but I definitely wouldn’t let go such a good opportunity to level up. I scanned all four directions of the big area. Although the hall was very large, but the ice path that I tread was on the wall circling the whole area. At the closest place below, the ice path gradually narrowed, and at the end could only accommodate one person standing on it…
Eureka. This time, my level would absolutely exceed that level 40 Knight.
I quickly went back to the city to get offline. Dinner should be ready now. Later on, I would make Lu Xue Han to burn all the monsters. As long that I could guard that intersection leading to the hall, Lu Xue Han could keep clearing the monsters off in safety. Blazing Rainstorm is a fire-type magic, just perfect to cause the greatest damage to these ice monsters.
I just got out of my room when I saw Xin Yu, her face covered with a happy expression. Thus, I asked right away, “What makes you so happy? Could it be that you fished some rich guys in the game?”
Xin Yu laughed loudly, straightened her big b.r.e.a.s.t.s, and said, “Of course. This morning, that rich boy even gave me 100 gold coins and let me learn a skill. I’ve decided. In the future, I will stick with him.”
I glanced at Xin Yu’s tempting twin peaks and swallowed hard, “As you wish, I can’t do anything about it…”
At the side, Xu Lin watched me for a moment, then she looked at Xin Yu, seemingly to grasp the situation. Thereupon, she smiled and said, “You two… have come to some understanding at the end. Oh, right! Lin Fan, Xue Han brought us to burn wolves the whole day today. Everyone has gained a level now. All three of us have reached level 36 and get into the country’s Top-50. Unfortunately, the speed is slowing now. Our levels are too high, burning wolves only give us little experience.”
“You should have gotten quite a lot gold coins and equipment, right?”
“Yes,” Xu Lin nodded lightly and added, “Altogether, we got more than twenty pieces of green equipment and two pieces of blue equipment. Besides the ones that we used ourselves, more than half of them can be sold. It was all around level 28 equipment. I have just put all of them for sale already. I think that all would be sold out within a day.”
At this moment, Lu Xue Han walked over with a big bowl of soup and smiled, “Big bone soup, I boiled it with the pressure cooker for half an hour. Everyone should drink a lot of it for replenishment.”
I quickly pulled out the seat beside me and said, “Xue Han, come sit over here. There’s a thing I need to discuss with you.”
Xu Lin smiled slightly, “What’s the matter that you can’t let us know? So mysterious. Could it be that you have eloped with our beautiful Xue Han?”
Lu Xue Han’s face immediately turned red, saying angrily to Xu Lin, “Sister Lin, don’t make fun of me. Didn’t you say that you have something big to announce? Now everyone is present, why haven’t you say anything?”
“Oh, I almost forgot…,” Xu Lin patted her head and talked seriously, “Considering the future of all of you, I have thought for a long time last night, and come to a decision to reduce the commission for the studio. In the future, when you get the money from selling equipment or other items, the commission for the studio would only be 20%.”
Immediately after Xu Lin said those words, everyone went to an uproar. Before when selling equipment, we only get a third from the selling price. Now, it has turned into 80%. Even others like Guo Zi would be able to make something out of it. They have just entered the main city and their equipment weren’t too good. The equipment that they got from the drops wouldn’t sell for much money either. After the two-third cut for the commission, the money they get would be even less. Now, instead of just fulfilling their basic needs, they could also go beyond for prosperity. I was even more excited. The money I would get from selling the blue Snow Ice Halberd and purple Frenzy Blade of Darkness should be enough to buy a house.
Not daring to believe, Xin Yu stared at Xu Lin and asked slowly, “Is this really true?”
Xu Lin smiled at Xin Yu’s disbelief and answered, “Of course it’s true. I have made some thinking about it, the 20% commission would be enough. Thanks to Lin Fan, he has gotten a lot of equipment. One purple equipment can hit the price of more than one million at the moment. If he only sells one purple equipment, it can already give the studio a revenue of 200,000, already big enough to cover everyone’s living cost for half a year. Besides, his ability if far more than just to get a purple equipment.”
Xin Yu blinked her beautiful eyes and continued to ask, “Just because of this, you don’t want to pursue more? You don’t want to become a big boss anymore?”
Xu Lin smiled while she shook her head, “I have thought it through. What do I need that much money for? With the current income, it’s already enough for me to have three loverboys. If I greed for more money, I might even burn it for the heating in the future.”
I asked in surprise, “What, you want to keep loverboys?”
Xu Lin immediately answered with a vague smile, “Do you want to enlist? You will count for the first…”
“Me as a loverboy?” I asked, pointing my own nose. Quite snappily, I said, “I don’t need you to raise me. With my present speed of getting the revenue, even taking care of you won’t be a problem at all.”
Xu Lin let out a charming smile, “Everyone heard it, right? Lin Fan wants to take care of me. In the future, I will rely on you then…”
I was dumbfounded. Just now, Xu Lin had also become as rogue as Murong Shan Shan already.
Xin Yu looked blankly at Xu Lin, her face was as if it would explode at any moment. Lu Xue Han was more serious and looked at Xu Lin with her watery eyes, a bit embarra.s.sed.
“Ah, I was only joking. Look at the both of you as if you are going to swallow me alive.” Xu Lin keenly saw the situation was going south and quickly corrected her words.
Xin Yu immediately revealed a sick and deadly smile, and cutely said, “Lin Lin, don’t be afraid. I don’t care how many girlfriends Lin Fan wants to be with…”
Xu Lin said in a low voice, “It would be strange if you don’t care…”
I quickly said to smooth things over, “Let’s eat, let’s eat. After dinner, I still need to borrow Xue Han to help me completing a mission.”
Surprised, Xin Yu asked, “Borrowing Xue Han? There are still missions that you need to rely on someone else to complete it?”
“Of course. There are too many monsters. I can’t do this alone, so I want to bring Xue Han to do some little burning…”
Xu Lin laughed, “Just take her if you want to borrow her. We won’t be able to retain her if she wants to go anyway.”
