With a dark face, Li Hanqiang bit on the back of his gums and continued to question Deity Robber, “What is your occupation? Are you ranged or melee? What skills do you have?”

The Deity Robber patted his chest. “I am a thief so I have only latent skills and am a melee player! Why?”

“Why? Please why your uncle. My mission notice clearly stated that I only wanted ranged players!” Li Hanqiang shouted. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to take control of the defensive towers to send the small thief and the group of aunties in front of him back to where they came from in seconds.

“I didn’t see the notice information clearly.” Deity Robber was calm and composed. What could you, Li Hanqiang, the invincible Chaotic City Lord actually do? Kill me in an instant with your defensive towers? Even if you killed me this instant, the system settings were already settled and would not allow other players to come and support you!

“That’s fine!” Li Hanqiang sighed as he walked through the air until he was at the center. He glanced at the aunties and shouted, “Everyone, please pay attention, I am now ending the preparation time for the battle and the monsters that are going to attack the city will immediately appear after that. Fight as many as you can. Apart from that, this is a reminder for all of you that there is a Mysterious Shop on one of the Chaotic Stone Slabs. You can purchase potions there and even repair your equipment, so please spend the money if you need to!”

“Mysterious Shop? What is that?” The Deity Robber frowned. He had not heard of this kind of building during the closed beta. He turned his head and saw the characters ‘Mysterious Shop’ floating around the corner of the Chaotic Stone Slab behind him. Focusing a bit of his attention, the product window popped up.

‘This must be a rare building.’ The Deity Robber could not help but study it.

At that second, the monsters that would be attacking the city also appeared from the Space-Time Wormhole. They were a group of Level 12 Mountain Ridge Wolves with 1000 to 1400 HP and could travel at a speed of 3 meters per second.

Li Hanqiang silently calculated his odds and felt that there would not be much strain on the defensive side. However, he was still looking forward to upgrading the Beast Hunter.

It would only get 1 experience point per monster killed and was currently at Level 2. Its experience bar was now 20/200 and could probably rise another one to two levels in this wave of monster attacks. This depended on its success rate in capturing the Mountain Ridge Wolves.

However, the group of aunties themselves were hard to look at. This made Li Hanqiang feel awkward, quelling him of the desire to sit firmly in his fishing boat.

Deity Robber had secretly given instructions to the group of aunties that no one was allowed to attack. He saw the Fire Tower and was suddenly enlightened.

‘That’s a second level Fire Tower, no wonder Li Hanqiang has been smoothly managing himself. He managed to get the Deity Tower in the Preliminary Stage!’ As he nodded secretly to himself, his eyes glanced around again and frowned as he saw the distant Sword Tower. 

He did not recognize it, but its extraordinary shape told him that it was no ordinary defensive tower.

He looked at the Beast Hunter again, and his brain was filled with questions.

‘What is this? What did Li Hanqiang do? Not only does he have a second level tower, but there are so many other strange things in the Chaotic City. Has he been cheating?” Deity Robber could not seem to comprehend this.

Li Hanqiang clearly saw Deity Robber’s expression as he stood in mid-air and said in secret, ‘This cowardly person has no interest in fighting the monsters. They’ve just recruited a bunch of aunties to agitate me! They have so much f*cking money to burn!’

Snorting, he stepped over, above the heads of the aunties, and shouted, “Aunties, why don’t you fight monsters? You can get more experience by fighting the monster and use it to level up.”

“Boy!”

The aunt with the nickname Sister Pomegranate waved her hand at Li Hanqiang, “We don’t need you to tell us this. When I started playing online games, you hadn’t even been born yet. However, we are all old now so we just don’t have that kind of spirit to play anymore. We play online games to just admire the scenery, chat about things, and make some extra money along the way.”

“Isn’t that true? Years ago, we used to have a lot of fun in online games!” The aunt Red Wine Rose began to reminisce. “But at that time, technology was not as advanced and online games were not made as well as they are now.”

“It’s boring to just stand here like this. Sisters, let’s carry out some activities to move our bodies. Let’s dance the public square dance or something.” Fragrant Grass in the Horizon shouted at Li Hanqiang, “Boy, can you play some music in your Chaotic City? Play the song ‘The Hottest Ethnic Trend’1! There is no music to be heard. Without any music, what kind of power do you actually have as a Chaotic City Lord!”

Hearing her words, Li Hanqiang had almost planted them while in mid-air. He had been playing virtual online games for more than ten years and this was the first time he had ever encountered such a thing.

Seeing that the group of aunties actually start dancing the public square dance, Li Hanqiang could not help but roar out, “Aunties, why don’t you just go offline to dance and chat? There are monsters attacking my city. If you are not here to defend the city, then please don’t come here.”

“Young man!” The group of aunties looked at Li Hanqiang as Sister Pomegranate spoke, “Doing that is different. This gives us 80 yuan a day. It’s not easy to get by so we are here to earn a little money to support our family.”

When he heard this, Li Hanqiang understood that the group of aunties were hired and being paid 80 yuan a day!

‘Who is so f*cking strong? I would understand if you had hired a master to kill me, but instead, they hired a group of aunties to piss me off!” Li Hanqiang first thought of the Emperor’s Rich Guild at that moment. After all, the only feuds he had since entering the game were with First Class Star and Zhen Dejun.

‘This cowardly person wearing the dog helmet is probably leading this group of aunties.” Li Hanqiang endured the idea of killing Deity Robber with the ‘tower kill’ as he stepped into mid-air again and shouted, “Everybody, please listen well. It is said that we meet because we are fated to. In order to increase the enthusiasm of everyone defending the city, I as Chaotic City Lord have decided to provide everyone with an extra benefit. As long as someone buys potions from the Mysterious Shop, the city owner will subsidize their gold coins. No matter how much you buy, I will guarantee you a 10% discount compared to the original system pricing. When you buy the potion, you can cash it out on the spot. I will not go back on my own words so everyone, please kill the monsters.”

All the aunties heard his words and immediately started whispering.

Deity Robber smirked and thought in his heart, even if you, Li Hanqiang, start to issue potions, these aunties will not start killing the monsters. With only a 10% discount on potion prices, who would actually care?

However, the aunties were more flexible than Deity Robber thought they would be. Sister Pomegranate directly yelled out, “10% off the set system pricing! Is this real or fake? If I change my hands to buy them, I can still make money!”

Li Hanqiang nodded, “This is the benefit that I am giving out to everyone. I will be personally compensating for it so that everyone can earn some money. Please just help me to defend the city.”

“You aren’t lying?” Deity Robber looked up and asked, as if he had woken up from a dream.

“If I lie, I am a dog!” Li Hanqiang said decisively, “The words that I have said are like spilled water and will never be recovered!”

“Then come over!” Deity Robber waved to Li Hanqiang. “Let’s try trading.”

“Of course I will!” Li Hanqiang laughed and walked in front of Deity Robber.

The Deity Robber was also very smart. He first bought a bottle of low-level Life Potion and Li Hanqiang directly subsidized him 3 silver coins.

He then bought ten bottles. Li Hanqiang gave him 30 silver coins without hesitation.

He bought another 100 bottles and Li Hanqiang directly traded him 3 gold coins without blinking.

The Deity Robber had taken 100 gold coins from Zhen Deqiang and bought 15 tickets for all the aunties. He still has 85 gold coins left in his hands!

Little by little, he used the 85 gold coins on the low-level potions and Li Hanqiang actually cashed in the subsidy. After calculating, a subsidy of more than 21 gold coins was made!

‘Is this Li Hanqiang a fool?’ The Deity Robber felt that he had found a way to make money. If he resold the batch of medicines in his storage space, he would be able to earn another 10 gold coins!

As for reselling, it would be easy as there were still 30 free aunties!
