"Your kid is finally back. I thought I would never see you again."

After seeing Li Mu, Testin walked over and said with a smile.

Damn it. Master, can you speak nicely? What do you mean you can't see me anymore? Even if I haven't completed the task, it's just that I can't see you for a while.

"Master, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you say you won't leave until 5 days later?"

"Time waits for no one! I don't know why the monsters around the Ice and Snow City suddenly began to besiege the Ice and Snow City. Even the fire demons from the Scorching Land joined in. This is very abnormal. You must know that the monsters from the Scorching Land are completely unable to adapt.

The city of ice and snow has a very cold environment. You kid, please grow up quickly. When you grow up, Longteng City will probably not be so disorderly. Speaking of the predicament of the city of ice and snow, you can't escape your involvement."

"Damn it, I don't even know where the Ice and Snow City is. I just heard this name from you, why does it have anything to do with me again???"

"This starts with your father. Your father seems to have some connection with the Ice and Snow Queen. Not long after he established Longteng City, the Ice and Snow Queen made the Ice and Snow City belong to Longteng City. However, your father promised the Ice and Snow Queen to help her establish the city.

The teleportation array from Ice and Snow City to Longteng City has been delayed because we have not obtained the space crystal. This has also indirectly aggravated the crisis in Ice and Snow City. If there is a teleportation array between the two cities, we can in time

We have to rush to support, but even if we can't support them, even if we can't support them, the allies of Ice and Snow City can take refuge in Longteng City through the teleportation array, and there won't be the current situation where the whole city is surrounded."

Now Li Mu understood that this matter was also a debt owed by his cheap godfather Mo Long, and now it was also borne by him, but it was normal. There is no good thing that only takes advantage without doing anything.

"Then how can I help them now?"

"What you can do now is very limited. The monsters around the Ice and Snow City are all elites above level 70. You could only die in the past. But you can pay attention to the news about the teleportation crystal. If you can get the teleportation crystal

Stone or space crystal, then the crisis in the Ice and Snow City will be easily solved, and it can save your father's crisis of trust in the Ice and Snow City. In addition, Longteng City can also get a heartfelt and powerful ally. The Ice and Snow City is located in the extreme

Although the north is a bitterly cold place, it is extremely rich in products and is rich in black ice jade and penguins. The former is an excellent material for making jewelry, and the latter is a priceless magic pet."

"I know, I will try my best to find the teleportation crystal."

"Well, by the way, how is your mission going? If you can't complete it, you can only wait until I come back from the City of Ice and Snow to help you. Tomorrow I will send troops to the City of Ice and Snow with the brothers Kuang Zhan and Kuang Demon.

I don’t know when I can come back.”

"The disciple wishes the master success and a safe return soon. I have reached an agreement with Pixiu, and he has agreed to push the debt to next year."

Li Mu explained the agreement he had reached with Pixiu to Testin in detail, and Testin couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Hey, as expected, dragons and dragons and phoenixes are born. You are just like your father, what kind of

The crisis can be easily resolved, and it seems that the situation in Longteng City will improve. Come on, I will reward you with the task now."

"Congratulations on completing the level 40 professional promotion mission. The mission difficulty is hell. The attribute rewards are talent attributes*5, strength +50, constitution +50, agility +25, intelligence +15. Spirit +25. Skills acquired: Earth Duel,

Punishment of the Earth, Thunder and Earth Splitting Slash.”

"Congratulations on completing the level 40 professional promotion task, successfully reaching an agreement with Pixiu, and the task evaluation is perfect. You received additional rewards, all active skill levels +1, and obtained the new skill Light of Life."

Earth Duel: In the name of the Earth Goddess, an enemy is forced to duel with the Earth Knight. During the duel, neither party can use skills (passive skills can take effect), and cannot use props. The duel lasts for 5 seconds, and the one who loses more life after the duel ends.

One side is judged to have failed, and will suffer additional damage equal to the sum of the lives lost by both sides during the decisive battle * 50%. The cooldown time is 300 seconds, and 200 magic points are consumed.

Earth Punishment: The Earth Knight is the incarnation of justice. He punishes all evil people and ferocious beasts in the name of the Earth Goddess. If he kills a red-named player who is 5 or more levels higher than himself, he will have a 10% chance of stealing 1 point of his main attribute.

Increase your own strength. If you kill a boss that is 5 levels higher than yourself, and the Earth Knight's contribution rate is greater than 70%, you will gain 1 point of strength attribute.

Thunder and Earth Slash: Each attack will cause 20% splash damage to enemies around the target. There is also a 2% chance of triggering Thunder and Earth Slash, causing 500 points of thunder element damage and 500 points of earth damage to all enemies within 10 meters.

Elemental damage.

Light of Life: Let out a roar to boost the spirit of yourself and your allies, immediately clear all abnormal status of yourself, increase the upper limit of life by 10%, and add 10% life to allies within 10 meters, lasting for 30 seconds. Cooling time is 5 minutes.

.

Li Mu was dumbfounded when he saw the skill introduction. This, this. This is so powerful. You can get attributes by killing people??? You can also kill monsters!!!

"Master, I want to raise all passive skills!"

After Li Mu got excited, he said loudly that the two passives of Earth Punishment and Earth Splitting Slash were so powerful, there was no reason why they should not be upgraded.

Looking at the 9,000 silver coins handed over by Li Mu, Testin's face darkened, "Disciple, you are still far from enough money."

"How can it be so? The upgrade from level one to level two is 1,000 silver coins, the upgrade from level two to level three is 1,500, and the upgrade from level three to level four is 2,000. The total is 4,500. Aren't the two skills 9,000?"

"Haha, your algorithm is based on the cost of upgrading the skills of the first level. The cost of upgrading the skills of the second level is 5 times that of the first level."

"More, how much? Five times?! So dark!"

"This is also a last resort. There is a very serious financial crisis in Longteng City. The wages owed to me have not been paid for a long time. The master only has you as his apprentice, and you are also an alcoholic. I already owe a lot of money at Xuexin Tavern.

, so..." As he spoke, Testin became a little embarrassed.

Li Mu also understands that there are tens of millions of disciples of transfer tutors in Qinglong City, and each person charges 100 yuan. In total, they can earn a thousand yuan or 80,000 yuan. However, Testin only has one apprentice, Li Mu, so he can only catch him.

People gather wool. But Li Mu also fully understands that if you give up, you will get something, and if you gain something, you will give it up. Besides, Testin usually cared for him very much, not to mention that he gave Li Mu a hidden career, and later returned it to Li Mu.

Li Mu received level 7 strengthened gems, strengthened shields, and a resurrection stone. These things were all priceless. This made Li Mu, an orphan, always grateful.

"Master, I'm sorry for you. I didn't expect Longteng City to be in such a dilapidated state, nor did I expect you to be in such dire straits, Master. Please wait a moment. I don't have any cash on me. I'll go and get it now."

"It's okay, as long as my disciple has this intention, come and let me help you improve your skills first. As for the money, just help me pay it back to Xuexin. I still owe him 5 gold coins for wine money. By the way, if it's okay, you can

Go find Lu Qin, I guess after your negotiation with Pixiu, he will be impressed by you, and it’s time for you to take over the management of Longteng City."

"I understand, master, I will definitely build Longteng City into the most powerful city!"

"Well, I'll wait and see. The more outstanding your achievements are, the brighter your face will be. Come on, stand still."

Soon Testin helped Li Mu complete the skill upgrade.

After the upgrade was completed, Li Mu said goodbye to Testin and came to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Hey, it's so gratifying that the little city lord has completed his career promotion so quickly! What's the reason for you coming to me?"

"Grandpa Lu Qin, Master Testin sent me to Wolong Mountain to discuss the debt with Pixiu. I came to inform you that Pixiu has agreed to postpone the payment until tomorrow, and pay it in installments."

"Really? Hey, I'm a fool too. Why didn't I think of sending you over to discuss it with him? Your father was fooling around with it back then. This is really good news, but what should we do next year? Hey

, Brat, this Dragon City belongs to you too, you have to be more careful. After these years of hard work, I understand that I am just a craftsman. I am an expert in building a city, but I am a layman in running a city. But

You don't have enough experience now, so I can't completely hand over the management of the city to you. I will give you the position of deputy city lord, and every decision you make must be implemented with my approval."

"Okay, I understand. What rights do Grandpa Lu Qin and the deputy city lord have?"

"Except that the gang cannot be disbanded, the rest is similar to that of the city leader."

"Gang? You mean I can recruit people to join Dragon City?"

"Of course, this is your right and also your obligation. With the decline of Longteng City's economy in recent years, the population has also begun to lose, and there is an urgent need for personnel to be supplemented."

"Okay, I understand. By the way, besides the Magic Temple, do we have any other special function buildings in Longteng City?"

"Of course there is. There is a Sutra Collection Pavilion behind the City Lord's Mansion. The person in charge of the Sutra Collection Pavilion is Wang Muzhi, a divine calligrapher. He can copy skill books."

"Copying skill books??" Such an awesome skill? "Then what level of skill books can he copy?"

"Anything below the god level can be copied, but it is not cost-effective to copy skills below the spiritual level."

"Is there anything else?"

"The others are available in all the major cities. However, your father felt that he was losing money, so he prioritized upgrading the pharmacy to the top level. The current pharmacy is now the Holy Medicine Shop. It sells very rare elixirs, which can be regarded as

It’s a feature.”

"Okay. Grandpa Na Luqin, please do your work first. I'll think about it and see how Longteng City will develop in the future."

After leaving the city lord's mansion, Li Mu has been thinking about this problem in his mind. How to prosper the economy of Longteng City at this stage. Although the area is relatively favorable, the player levels at this stage are still very low, and they will not come here to level up and supply at all, and

Because there is no teleportation array leading to Qinglong City, it is very inconvenient to go back and forth. It seems that in a short time, we can only start from the Magic Temple and the Scripture Pavilion.

Li Mu came to the Magic Temple and asked Anthony about the possibility of opening the Magic Temple.

"Of course, the Magic Temple is an open facility. As long as you pay money, everyone can come in and practice. And the more people come, the greater the probability that I will create new skills."

After hearing Li Mu's question, Anthony said with a smile.

"Creative skills? Isn't that the same as Wang Muzhi?"

"Little guy, you are wrong. Scholar Wang and I are completely different. I have creative skills, while he has copy skills."

"Oh. I understand. You create the skill and then let Wang Muzhi copy it. Is that what you mean?"

"Drink, you can understand it this way."

Damn, this is really awesome. But it still lacks a salesperson, and with sales, a perfect industrial chain is formed. Anthony creates skills. Wang Muzhi produces them in batches, Li Mu sells them, and buys skill books.

Players go to the Magic Temple to speed up their upgrades and truly lengthen and widen the industry chain.

"However, due to the disrepair of the Magic Temple, there are less than 20 practice rooms that can be rented out. Besides, except for your father's one, which was repaired once, the other practice rooms have lost some of their functions due to lack of maintenance. The proficiency level has been improved.

It’s only 3 times, but the function of reducing skill cooldown by 1/3 has not been compromised.”

"Okay, I understand, Grandpa Anthony, can your brilliant halo be turned off?"

"closure?"

"If it cannot be turned off, can you specify who can be affected by the brilliant halo and who cannot be affected?"

"Oh, you are really treacherous." Anthony seemed to understand what Li Mu meant. "I can take the initiative to turn off the halo."

Anthony's brilliant aura can increase the magic recovery speed by 200%, which will inevitably increase the training efficiency of players practicing in the Magic Temple. However, if the aura is turned off, those who come to practice will need to use more magic potions to improve efficiency.

Li Mu adjusted the price of medicines in Shengyao Shop a little lower. Even if a bottle is 5 coppers lower, the sales volume is expected to increase a lot.

"Okay, then it's such a happy decision."

Originally, Li Mu planned to increase the price, but since the Magic Temple's proficiency improvement rate was only 3 times, Li Mu did not change it.

After walking out of the Magic Temple, Li Mu came to the Holy Medicine Shop. The Holy Medicine Shop looked majestic and majestic from the outside, but when he walked in, Li Mu was dumbfounded. Li Mu pushed it lightly, and the door fell to the ground.

Li Mu was startled. Looking up, he saw spider webs everywhere and the shelves were empty.

Not long after, Sun Miaoshou came in from the outside. He was a little surprised when he saw Li Mu, "You brat, why are you here."

Although Sun Miaoshou concealed it very well, Li Mu still felt a hint of loneliness and sadness in his eyes.

Indeed, it was once the most spectacular architectural facility in Longteng City. Now that it has become like this, anyone would feel a little sad.
