My Chaotic City

Chapter 30: Earn Some Extra Income Conveniently

Deity Robber began to ponder secretly.

In Endless World, gold coins were easy to earn. There were many small daily tasks in big regional cities. Players did not need to be very capable as they just needed to spend some time running around to earn an easy one or two gold coins. However, the game was at the beginning stages of its open beta, meaning that gold coins were still a scarce resource. If one took a walk around the big regional city, they would just be surrounded by players that were going around to collect gold coins.

However, there were not many people who actually sold gold coins.

Looking at the current market price, it would not be an exaggeration to say a single gold coin would be worth two or three hundred yuan.

Of course, this sort of pricing would be fruitless in the future.

‘From this stupid Chaotic City Lord, I can earn two or three thousand net in just a moment!’

Deity Robber was wavered by this idea. It was for the sake of money that he had joined the Emperor’s Rich Guild in the first place. He worked for Zhen Deqiang because Zhen Deqiang was paying him a salary.

And now, it seemed like there was a way for him to earn some extra money. Wouldn’t he look like an idiot if he did not take it?

Hey, hey, hey…’

Deity Robber could not stop his happiness from showing.

Li Hanqiang left with a dark expression on his face. He stood midway in the air and looked around. The monster attack continued as the Mountain Ridge Wolves advanced dauntlessly in waves. The mutated Sword Tower released its Sword Qi with a clanging sound.

However, the aunties were all very calm as they danced the public square dance in front of the pack of wolves. Some of them were singing to ‘Times are Progressing1’ while the others hummed ‘It’s So High’2…

“What the hell is this?” Li Hanqiang shouted at the auntie nicknamed ‘Sister Pomegranate’. “I really can’t figure this out. In real life, dancing the public square dance can help you to exercise your body but what use would it be for you to dance it here?”

“You don’t understand, young man!” Sister Pomegranate glanced at Li Hanqiang. “We are not just dancing, we are dancing to the atmosphere.”

“Atmosphere? This is a really special atmosphere then!” Li Hanqiang felt in his heart that the atmosphere of the city defense was really unique.

He sighed helplessly. While he could ‘tower kill’ the group of aunties, he was still unable to do it. After all, they all still had very nice attitudes, so he could only fantasize and pretend to himself that this was a group of beautiful girls having a live karaoke session.

In this ‘happy’ atmosphere brought on by the group of aunties, the fifth wave of monster attacks gradually came to an end.

It lasted two and a half hours, with Li Hanqiang having to rely on the Fire Tower, the Beast Hunter, and the mutated Sword Tower to reach a perfect city defense without any other dangers faced. He also managed to go up to Level 12.

Although the aunties had not done anything, they still managed to get a lot of experience and everyone actually jumped up by 4 levels. Even Deity Robber had gotten another 3 levels.

The Beast Hunter successfully rose to Level 3, with its experience bar at 20/300 as its rate of injury per second increased to 45.

“Oh!” Sister Pomegranate began to sigh again. “If I had to comment, the current online game is good but far too simple. When we were young, it was so hard to upgrade.”

“I know right!” Red Wine Rose looked and beckoned at Li Hanqiang. “Young boy, let me tell you. Back in our times, whenever there was a more popular online game and the server had just opened, we would have to fight for even one small monster. We could see people carrying out PK all around that even when we were fighting a wild BOSS, we were afraid of being secretly attacked. It was very difficult to level up. Nowadays, we just need to dance and chat for the whole day without fighting and we can still get 3 levels!”

When Li Hanqiang heard this, he called out in his heart for someone to hear him and thought, auntie, oh auntie, do you not have any idea how you actually leveled up?

He sighed and said, “Dear aunties, the monster attack is over now so you should also exit. You should go offline and get some good rest.”

Sister Pomegranate, Red Wine Rose, and the other aunties looked at Deity Robber. He did not bother to hide as he waved his arms, smiling as he shouted, “Retreat team, retreat. Let’s all teleport back to the Chaos Temple as there is now a new mission!”

Li Hanqiang bit the back of his teeth and internally felt that this cowardly person was really brazen to admit his identity out in the open.

Deity Robber gave Li Hanqiang a wave and said, “We will meet later!”

After he spoke, he was transported back. All the aunties also exited as they waved farewell to Li Hanqiang.

When Deity Robber returned to the Chaos Temple, he immediately laughed out loudly. He then re-convened the group of aunties and said, “There is a new task for all of you. Come, come and take these potions from me. Your task is to go to the training zone in the city outskirts and sell these potions. Just follow the pricing of the system store and come back to me when you have successfully sold them all and hand me all the gold coins. Don’t think about keeping the money to yourself and remember that you are all being paid salaries. Don’t try to earn a little just to lose a lot. If you sell the potions quickly, I will pay all of you an extra salary!”

After he finished his lecture and distributed the potions, the aunties went on their way.

Soon, the aunties filled the leveling zones of Tianfeng City as they began to promote their various potions for sale.

“Young man, come here, come here. Let me show you something good. Here are some potions to be used for healing.”

“Young girl, your HP seems to be running low. Come over and buy some potions.”

“You won’t lose anything by buying this potion as its price is the same as the system store and will save you the time needed to run back and buy them in the main city. Would you like to buy ten bottles?”

These aunties have no intention of leveling up. They had entered the game for two reasons: leisure purposes and for money. If they were asked to kill monsters or carry out missions, it would definitely not work. However, they managed to successfully complete the job of selling potions.

After half an hour, all the aunties had completed the task and Deity Robber was stunned to receive the gold coins after they had returned.

‘You guys have sold out so quickly?’

He did a rough calculation and noticed that he had made a net income of around two or three thousand yuan in just half an hour. After giving it some thought, he realized the reason for it.

There were many players who were training to level up at that moment, so there was a large demand for potions. As they delivered the potions directly to them at the exact same price in the system store, only a fool would actually return to the city to buy potions.

‘Haha, at this rate, I will be rich very soon!’

Deity Robber was very happy but then immediately frowned.

Adventurer players could learn Alchemy, Metallurgy, Foraging and other skills after reaching Level 20. By then, they would be able to make their own potions and it was inevitable that a group of full-time life players specializing in producing and selling potions would form. With that, the price of the low-level potions would drop substantially and selling potions this way would become unviable.

In addition, Deity Robber did not know the actual functions of the Mysterious Shop. He deduced from his own understanding that Li Hanqiang was using gold coins to gain popularity. If he sold potions from Li Hanqiang’s Chaotic City, it was like killing two birds with one stone for him. He could squeeze out Li Hanqiang’s gold coins while earning some extra cash.

But when Li Hanqiang had no more gold coins, he would not be able to make any more extra cash.

‘Time is money and I don’t have that many days to continue making money like this. I can’t make that much off it too. I have to hurry up.’

Deity Robber thought about it and quickly ordered the group of aunties to be on standby. He then immediately purchased and activated a teleport ticket to Chaotic City No. 68.

[Ding, the Lord of the Chaotic City No.68, Li Hanqiang, has allowed your teleportation request!]

After the system notification, Deity Robber went to Li Hanqiang’s Chaotic City and immediately saw a fat man crouching on a Chaotic Stone Slab not far away from him.

That fat man was no other than Big Trader.

Big Trader had waited for a long time to replenish his stock. The moment Li Hanqiang finished defending the city, he had teleport himself over.

Li Hanqiang was standing next to Big Trader at that moment, giving him his ‘subsidy’ with a smile.

‘What is this situation? Are there other competitors?’ Deity Robber was a little anxious and quickly shouted to Li Hanqiang, “Brother Qiang, I’m here again. Brother Qiang, will I get any subsidy for purchasing potions?”

“It’s you? You didn’t bring any of the aunties this time?” Li Hanqiang glanced at Deity Robber. “Go to the side if you wish to purchase potions and I will calculate the subsidy for you later. Don’t buy too much as I don’t have a lot of gold coins with me right now.”

“Brother Qiang is righteous, Brother Qiang is powerful! Don’t worry, I won’t buy much!” Deity Robber smiled and thought in his heart, if I do not buy you out until you reach bankruptcy today, I am a fool!
