Li Hanqiang went near Deity Robber after sending Big Trader away, playing around with him with a relaxed face.

Deity Robber was very careful. He only bought a dozen potion bottles each time and asked Li Hanqiang for his subsidy. After receiving the subsidy, he continued to make his purchases.

He was afraid that Li Hanqiang was waiting to con him.

However, Li Hanqiang looked relaxed and readily paid the subsidy with an enthusiastic attitude each and every time.

“This guy must have a team and has bought a lot of gold coins.” Deity Robber secretly speculated as he bought more than 90 gold coins worth of potions. Li Hanqiang had subsidized him more than 22 gold coins and with the look on his face, there seemed to be a lot more on him.

“Brother Qiang, you are really righteous. I will follow you after this and will definitely fight against the monsters in the next city defense mission. I am going to sell the medicine first so I’ll see you later!” Deity Robber patted at his chest and was teleported away the blink of an eye.

Li Hanqiang rolled his eyelids as he turned walked towards the Chaos’ Core.

He received his city defense reward and another [Rapid Development Small Loot Box].

‘Why doesn’t a big loot box arrive?’

Li Hanqiang shook his head. He did not dare to start the sixth wave of monster attacks at that moment and went to go fishing at the Blue Ripple Pond.

“Let’s get another Small Chaotic Bottle! I would like to build the Cave Dwelling in Goblin’s Mountain!”

Li Hanqiang could not help but continue thinking about the Cave Dwelling in Goblin’s Mountain in his heart. It was a special building with a ten-mile radius in size. It seemed absolutely extraordinary, so what attributes would it possess?

He did not expect Deity Robber to teleport over again just as he had caught two Green Carps.

“Brother Qiang, Brother Qian, I am here to buy medicine again!”

There were thirty aunties under him so Deity Robber sold through the potions much faster than Big Trader.

“Buy, buy, you can buy whatever you want!” Li Hanqiang put on a heroic face. Every time Deity Robber came over, he had to pay him 50 silver coins.

Following that, Deity Robber would come in thirty minutes intervals and this lasted at least ten times. Apart from that, Big Trader also came over another three times himself, causing Li Hanqiang to be unable to focus on fishing and only catching useless fish…

“Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang!”

Once again, Deity Robber teleported over with a smile on his face.

Li Hanqiang felt helpless and said, “Brother, you have such good stamina. Are you now a professional potions dealer? You are coming a little too diligently.”

“I want to buy another round again! Another!” Deity Robber smiled with him. He was now energetic. By reselling the potions, he had doubled his capital and made an equivalent of two or three thousand yuan!

For the first time in his life, he felt that it was easy to make money. Why would he let this chance given by the gods to go to waste?

He was now ambitious and wanted to occupy the entire potion market of Tianfeng City.

Li Hanqiang understood Deity Robber’s thoughts with one glance. He knew that he made a lot of money and he could not help but be a bit jealous. He said, “I can’t take it anymore if you continue to buy like this. I have to reduce the subsidy.”

Deity Robber quickly said, “Please don’t!”

However, Deity Robber smiled in his heart. Could he not bear it anymore? Did he not have any more gold coins? This was the result that he needed.

Li Hanqiang shook his head. “It must still be discounted. How about this, from now on, I will only give you a 22% subsidy. If you spend 100 gold coins, I will give you 22 back as a subsidy. You can choose whether to buy more or not.”

Deity Robber immediately made the mental calculations. The price of the potions in the Mysterious Shop was 120% the price of the potions in the system store. Even if Li Hanqiang only gave him a 22% subsidy, he would still be able to make a profit, just at slightly less.

“Sure, Brother Qiang. Let’s continue …”

With that, Deity Robber happily continued running back and forth until the thirty aunties could not stand it anymore and chose to go offline. It was then that he finally ended his journey for the day.

He had not gone offline for more than ten hours in a row but Deity Robber did not feel even the slightest bit of hunger and fatigue at all. He counted the gold coins in his storage space. There were 260 pieces!

‘I’ve made a big profit!’

Deity Robber was full of excitement as he shrank his head and left the Chaos Temple. Walking around the city, he finally caught a player who was buying gold coins and sold him 160 pieces of them.

The player who collected the gold coins was a local tyrant. He went offline and transferred a total of 40,000 yuan to Deity Robber’s bank card!

40,000 yuan! Deity Robber’s mind felt hazy at that moment. He had earned 40,000 yuan in ten hours or more. The business was booming.

He was a wild player who was not a professional, his skills were just average that no guild or club would be willing to have him. In the past, he could only mingle in places like the goldsmith studio, so there was no guarantee of income. He considered it lucky if he could get around four to five thousand yuan a month.

The time [Endless World] had opened, he was considered lucky to have followed Zhen Deqiang.

At that moment, 40,000 yuan was just in his hands and it felt just like a dream.

When he remembered the sadness of his past, Deity Robber could not help but cry out.

‘When I eat instant noodles tonight, I’ll add two ham sausages! Bah, bah, bah, what noodles should I eat? I am going to have hamburgers and fried chicken tonight!’ As Deity Robber thought about this, he suddenly felt unbearably hungry and went offline.

Li Hanqiang’s place was finally quiet.

The potion sales by Deity Robber and Big Trader had also brought him nearly 200 gold coins in income.

In addition to the 15 gold coins from the small purse and selling all his unneeded fishes, another 20 bound gold coins were provided by the Rapid Development Small Loot Box. There were also the bound gold coins produced by the Chaotic Treasury and so on, which meant that Li Hanqiang had a total of 262 gold coins and 45 silver coins.

He was a little confused about what to do then. Should he save up to 1000 gold coins to upgrade the Chaos’ Core or buy another defensive tower to enhance his defensive strength?

After the trouble caused by Deity Robber, together with the thoughts of Fanning Knight being held down by the Emperor’s Rich Guild. Li Hanqiang strongly felt that it would be unreliable for him to rely on the adventurer players to defend the city as they were far too passive.

It was because he owned the Fire Tower, the Beast Hunter, and the Mutated Sword Tower that he had managed himself just fine during the last wave. If he only put his expectations on ordinary people when the group of knight aunties had occupied the Chaotic Stone Slabs, he would have definitely suffered a big loss.

Li Hanqiang did not want to rely too much on the adventurer players to defend the city as he now had the idea that strong Defensive Towers were truly the strong ones within this game. As a Chaotic City Lord, you have to build Defensive Towers. Those who rely on adventurer players to defend the city were considered second-rate Chaotic City Lords.

There were many benefits to upgrading the Chaos’ Core but 1000 gold coins were not a small amount. Li Hanqiang felt that at this stage, all resources should be used in the construction of defensive towers. He needed to aim for waves of higher leveled monsters attacks on the city and get the city defense rewards as soon as possible.

After giving it some thought, Li Hanqiang felt enlightened. Even if he did actually have 1000 gold coins with him now, he would definitely not be using them to upgrade the Chaos’ Core, preferring to buy another ten Basic Arrow Towers to play with.

Of course, Li Hanqiang both loved and hated his passive skill, Change Tower. It was far too luck-based and not at all stable. One unlucky attempt and he would lose all his money.

[Ding, you can now open a new wave for the Gold Coin Challenge!]

The system notification rang and Li Hanqiang laughed. He thought in his heart that finally, it was time for him to perform again.

He kept his fishing rod and looked at the Fish Basket. It was still filled with useless fishes.

‘Why should I still be fishing. I should just open the Gold Coin Challenge. The Beast Hunter has been upgraded and I can definitely set a new record.’

Li Hanqiang left the Blue Ripple Pond with anticipation but before he could reach the Limitless Tower, he received several system notifications in succession.

[Your ranking on the Gold Coin Challenge Leaderboard has dropped by one and you are now ranked in second place.]

[System Notification: Your ranking on the Gold Coin Challenge Leaderboard has dropped by one and you are currently ranked at third!]

[System Notification: Your ranking on the Gold Coin Challenge Leaderboard has dropped by one…]

[System Notification: You have fallen out of the Gold Coin Challenge Leaderboard, please continue to make unremitting efforts!]

‘What’s happening?’ Li Hanqiang was stunned. He stood thinking at the same spot for a few minutes before he patted his head and said, ‘Someone has been carrying out online transactions!’
