"Wang Meixi, Nantian's 'cheap' guest, thank you for your hospitality. I will definitely return this feast!" Haoran stared at the backs of everyone in Jiangnan Pavilion with a cold expression, not hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.
If these villains hadn't found the NPC army as backup first, and if they were to trick them this time, I'm afraid the Wizard of Oz's management over the past few days and all the members' efforts would have been ruined!
A gentleman's revenge does not take ten years! Haoran gritted his teeth and determined the revenge plan in his mind! Not only Jiangnan Pavilion, but also Hengjian Jianghu and Xiong Domination who were complicit with them must not be lenient!
"Apprentice, you don't look good." Silas and Lei Wen approached, and the latter asked with concern: "What, are you hurting your vitality?"
"But I think his condition is better than before." Sillas looked at Haoran carefully and made a pertinent comment.
"Where is it? Look, his face is a little green." Lei Wen was still worried about Haoran and asked, "Does it matter?"
"Fortunately, I'm just a little angry with those villains." Haoran shook his head and tried to suppress the desire for revenge for the time being. He bowed to the two masters and said gratefully: "Thank you two masters. , Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Hmph, these guys dare to touch my apprentice's things. I really don't want to hang out in Wangyue City anymore!" Silras curled his lips and said, "But why do I look familiar to those people just now?"
"If I remember correctly, the leading Nantian Swordsman is the one who spent millions of gold coins to apply to His Majesty to register a gang last time." Lei Wen always has a good memory, and Li Tiannan spent a lot of money on the gang a few days ago. The prodigal look he had when he took ownership has always been fresh in his memory.
"When you said that, I also remembered it. I didn't expect that besides having a lot of money, this guy would also play dirty tricks." Xielas pondered for a moment, then suddenly showed a sly smile and said: "Lei Wen , We seem to have spent a lot of money on military expenses in preparation for this war, so we need to find a rich sponsor."
"Your Majesty, you are right." Lei Wen smiled slightly and said, "It's time to collect a gang tax from the gangs. Since Jiangnan Pavilion's performance is unsatisfactory, just levy 200%."
"No, you still need to collect gang tax?" Haoran first heard that the two masters were planning to get a fortune from Yinjiangnan Pavilion, and was secretly happy. Unexpectedly, their excuse was actually gang tax. Come on, then Jiangnan Pavilion is a new establishment. A small gang, and the Wizard of Oz is about to be upgraded to a castle. Who is it trying to trick?
"Master..." He looked at Lei Wen with a bitter look on his face.
Grand Magister Lei Wen knew that he had just spilled the beans, so he quickly turned away, looked up at the sky and said, "Ahem, the weather is really nice today."
"Master King, I am your apprentice, how can I get along with the royal relatives? Can this tax be exempted?" Haoran had to turn to Sirras shamelessly.
"When a prince commits a crime, he is as guilty as the common people." Xielas said earnestly: "Xiaobai, just because you are my apprentice, this fee cannot be reduced."
"I said, can you tell me how much you have to pay for this gang tax?" Haoran had a droopy face. It seems that this tax is impossible to get rid of, so it should be regarded as the appearance fee for asking these NPCs to help. .
"Level 1 gang is 100,000 coins, level 2 is 300,000 gold coins, level 3 is 500,000 gold coins, and the castle is 100,000 gold coins." Hillas reported a series of data without changing his expression, and then said: "Good disciple, hurry up and take over the territory."
Once the upgrade is completed, we can collect taxes."
"One million gold coins, Master, please sell me!" Haoran couldn't even cry. No matter what, it's equivalent to nearly ten million yuan. Let the Wizard of Oz pay such a large sum of money and kill him!
"Xiaobai, Wangyue City has been spending too much on armaments recently, so there must be some way to make up for it, right?" Xielas blushed. Seeing his apprentice's grimace, he finally began to realize whether he had been squeezed a little too much.
Too much.
Haoran: "..."
"Your Majesty, Xiaobai's territory has not been upgraded to a castle yet." Lei Wen finally couldn't help but say something in favor of his apprentice.
"Oh, that's right." Hillas thought for a while and said, "This way, you pay the gang tax before the territory is officially upgraded to a castle, and I will treat you as the Wizard of Oz or a third-level gang."
"This... I have to discuss it." Haoran wiped his sweat. Fortunately, 500,000 is a lot less than one million. He shouldn't be able to force himself to death... at best, he will lose a layer of skin and not even a bone.
At this time, good news came frequently in the gang channel.
Heartbroken: "Finally killed the mutant sapphire boss, no monsters survive in the whole west."
Xiaoyun: "There is no more in the south..."
The legendary magic horse: "Thanks to the strong support of Gang Leader Yun, we not only raped all the monsters in the east, but also beat away the bastards from Hengjian Jianghu."
Heartbroken, Ruchen raised his thumb: "Brother Shenma, you are awesome, are you sure you are a 'whole traitor'?"
The legendary horse burst into tears: "You shouldn't take naps during primary school Chinese classes..."
Haoran: "Xiaoyun, Achen, it's urgent!"
"What?" Xiaoyun asked: "Have you not wiped out the monster groups in the west? Or after downgrading, you can't even defeat Wang Meixi?"
"Wang Meixi? Huh, he is not worthy of a natural opponent! He has escaped long ago." Haoran said confidently: "There are no monsters in the west. I don't think mosquitoes will bite me if I sleep well."
(Lihua looked down upon her: "Xiaobai, Meixi almost sent you to have tea with Pluto just now."
Haoran: "Sister Lihua, is Wang Meixi a relative of yours? It was obviously my bravery that scared him away!"
Wang Meixi: "Bah, you scared me away?"
Haoran: "Wang Meixi, you bribed Sister Lihua and banned my Silly Boy and Ahua, and Ruoer was half-dead and unable to go to the court. That is naked cheating! I want to appeal, no, ask for arbitration!
Lihua: "...")
"Since everything is fine, why are you so anxious?" Xiaoyun said: "Lying about military information will be punished. Do you mind raising the pain level to the highest level, standing still, and letting me practice fire magic for half an hour?"
"
"Xiaoyun, I'm not lying to you. It's really urgent!" Haoran shuddered. This beautiful Yun is really good at tormenting people. Does she want to roast herself?
"Say!" Heartbroken Ruchen interrupted, simply and to the point.
"We have to pay the gang tax!" Haoran shouted urgently: "One million gold coins for the castle!"
"Come on, are you trying to steal money?" Xiaoyun only thought he was joking.
"I'm serious. King Sirlas and Great Magister Leiwen are by my side. They said it themselves!" Haoran said anxiously: "However, if we pay the money before officially upgrading to a castle, we can enjoy three
Tax rates for class gangs.”
"Gun tax, is it real or fake?" In addition to a few of them, other players also started to speak.
"False, I didn't even hear the system announcement." Someone immediately came to a conclusion.
However, as soon as the crow-mouthed comrade typed this line, the system's announcement came.
"Ding, the Wizard of Oz successfully defended the gang territory and will be successfully upgraded to a castle in an hour. All players will be rewarded with level +5 and the gang will be rewarded with 100,000 gold coins."
"Ding, Wangyue City collects gang taxes from all gangs in the city, 100,000 gold coins for level 1 gangs, 300,000 gold coins for level 2, 500,000 gold coins for level 3, and 1 million gold coins for the castle. Please hand over the full amount of gold coins according to the gang level within 24 hours.
, otherwise the gang will be banned."
"Ding, all Wizard of Oz players please note that if you pay the gang tax before upgrading to a castle, you can enjoy the price of a third-level gang."
Three messages in a row confirmed that what Gang Leader Xiaobai said was true.
Xiaoyun was depressed: "There is no money to hold the celebration party!"
Heartbroken Ruchen was silent for a few seconds and reported: "The Assassin Legion on the four lines of defense picked up a total of 331,400 gold coins. In addition to the gang's original working capital of 50,000 and a bonus of 100,000, we are still short of 18,600 gold coins.
That’s enough.”
"Achen, you are really an elite in the business world, you can count so quickly!" Haoran exclaimed: "In addition, I still have more than 20,000 gold coins that have not been handed over, which is enough!"
"Xiaobai, hurry up and use the gang leader's authority to take out 500,000 gold coins and hand them over to King Sirras. It's delaying the important matter. You are the only one asking!" Xiaoyun ordered.
"I have the order." Haoran accepted the order.
A minute later, King Sirras and Grand Magister Leiwen left with a heavy sum of 500,000 gold coins in satisfaction.
"Ding, the Wizard of Oz has paid the first installment of the gang tax. As the first player group in the Chinese game area to pay the gang tax on time, all members in the gang will have a 10% attribute bonus within 24 hours!" The system gave another reward.
"Xiaoyun, I'm going offline first." Haoran saw that the matter was almost resolved, and hurriedly sent a private message to Xiaoyun: "I'll leave it to you to deal with our village."
"Okay, you can stay in your hometown for a few more days and wait for news from me. Also, you have to organize the production of players as soon as possible." Xiaoyun replied very cheerfully.
Haoran logged off, and it had been more than three hours since he connected to the game. As soon as he left the house, he saw his parents waiting at the door anxiously.
"Of course, have you found your friend?" Mother was the first to ask.
"Yes, what should we say about the affairs in the village?" The father looked even more anxious.
"She promised to do her best." Haoran thought for a while and added: "I think based on her ability, she should be more than 60% sure."
"It's still not safe." My father was an honest man. He couldn't open up the knot in his heart until he heard the definite news.
"Dad, the Li family is a big family after all. The Li family's business network is so strong, 60% certainty is already pretty good." Haoran sighed. He naturally understood what his father was thinking, but everything
How could it come so quickly?
"Alas..." Father also sighed and fell silent.
"Okay, let's eat first." The mother smoothed things over: "Even Xiao Hei is hungry and has been wagging his tail in front of me for a long time. You two, father and son, don't know how to take care of your own stomachs."
At this moment, Haoran's stomach happened to growl in unison.
"Who says you're not hungry, mother, don't you think you have any objections?" Haoran chuckled, put his hand on his mother's shoulder and said, "I also want to eat egg fried rice."
"Okay, I'll give you double eggs!" The mother smiled. No matter how many years passed, her son would always be a child who had not grown up in her eyes.
