39: Chapter 39: Financial Strength is Very Important 39: Chapter 39: Financial Strength is Very Important Su Ran excitedly grabbed the Storage Box, examining it closely. It was a real Storage Box. Yes, if it’s got ‘real’ in the title then it can’t be fake. Su Ran, fully satisfied, nodded at the Skeleton Lord, and shoved the box into his own bladder. “Ding! Discovered 2 real Storage Boxes. Do you want to fuse them? After fusing, the space within the box increases, and items inside won’t disappear.” Ah ha, there is this kind of operation? Fuse! “Ding! Because the player Skeleton lacks a Fusion Gem, the fusion fails.” A Fusion Gem?! “Hand over the Fusion Gem!” Su Ran cut to the chase. Steward Liu’s body shuddered. He cried out in protest, “My Lord, I don’t have it, truly I don’t have such a treasure! If I had, I would have combined these Storage Boxes long ago. Why would I wait until now!” Su Ran gave Steward Liu, who was sweating profusely, a sinister glance. He took a bone flower from his bladder and handed it to Steward Liu. Steward Liu hastily took it. Seeing that Su Ran intended to leave, he urgently grabbed Su Ran’s arm bone. He pointed to Su Ran’s pelvis nervously and said, “Honorable Lord, my eyesight isn’t good. I saw inside your noble pelvis and noticed two bone flowers you forgot to give me.” Me, me, me! Su Ran stormed off on the spot. What does ‘poor sight’ mean? What does ‘noble pelvis’ mean? Can a man’s pelvis be seen casually?! “Ah, indeed. An oversight, a mistake. Look how busy I’ve been all day, I completely forgot about it.” Su Ran took a deep breath to suppress his frustration. He pulled the remaining two bone flowers out of his privates and tossed them to Steward Liu, then turned and walked away. To dig a grave! “Lord, please wait!” Liu saw that Su Ran was about to leave and quickly stopped him. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “What? Did you lose another object of your heart’s desire?” “No, no.” Steward Liu shook his head hastily, his neck threatening to break. “Lord, although our land is now a second-level domain, our territory’s financial value is 0. The residents can’t even afford food! Monetary value based on population is deducted each day. Look at my poor little grandson, as thin as a skeleton!” Er, your grandson is already a pile of bones. Su Ran glimpsed at the population of the territory, 7/200, which meant a daily deduction of 7 wealth points. Well, not much. “Right, the territory needs to be developed. Steward Liu, how is wealth obtained?” Su Ran still didn’t understand how wealth was acquired. “The Lord needs to donate equipment or Underworld Coins, or buy items from our stores. Taxes are necessary.” Steward Liu spoke mysteriously, leaning in close to the Skeleton Lord’s ear and whispering, “If the wealth value of our territory is too high, there will be a certain chance to win the allegiance of high-level bosses! Of course, it can only be species of the Demon World.” Steward Liu didn’t tell the Skeleton Lord that the chance of this happening was very low, close to 0. Oh my! High-level bosses pledging allegiance? That’s a good set up! “Any equipment will do?” Su Ran’s eyes lit up. “Yes, according to the level and attribute differences of the equipment, the obtained wealth value will also differ.” Steward Liu nodded continuously, eyeing Su Ran’s pelvis nonstop while saying, “Donating one Underworld Coin gives 10 wealth points. Donating Black Iron equipment gives 10 wealth points. Bronze Equipment gives 50 wealth points. Silver equipment gives 200 wealth points. Gold equipment gives 500 wealth points, and so on and so forth.” “If calculated by level, donating level 10 equipment, the value of the wealth does not change, donating level 20 equipment, wealth points X2, donating level 30 equipment, wealth points X3, and so forth.” “Oh, what about level 0 equipment?” Su Ran was beginning to understand. “Cough, we don’t need level 0 equipment.” “Oh~ so to whom should I trade the equipment in order to gain wealth points?” “Um… you can trade them to me.” Steward Liu’s face blossomed into a smile. You sly old man. Su Ran tossed the three pieces of silver equipment at Steward Liu. He wasn’t going to use them anyway, it was worth it to exchange them for wealth points. Steward Liu swooped on them like a cat on fish. He grabbed the three pieces of silver equipment and then disappeared. “Ding! The player Skeleton gained 1800 wealth points for the territory.” Well, the territory could hold up for a while. “Hey, my lord, how about upgrading our Skeleton Guards? To better protect the personal safety of the people in your territory?” Butler Liu rubbed his palms together. Skeleton Guard? Are those upgradable? Su Ran opened the territory’s property panel and found the section on Skeleton Guards. Sure enough, there was an upgrade option. The current Skeleton Guards looked a bit shabby with low hit points and attack power. [Skeleton Guard] (Archery) Level 10 Qi Blood: 2000 Attack: 100-110 Defense: 30 Passive Skills: Break Invisibility – Invisibility is disabled when targets approach the Skeleton Guard. Self-Healing – Recovers 10% of Qi Blood every 10 seconds. Su Ran saw in the Skeleton Guard’s upgrade description that upgrading to level 20 would cost 500 finance points. Well, what else to say? Upgrade! “Ding! Deducted 1000 finance points from player’s Skeleton Territory, the Skeleton Guard upgrade was successful.” There were two swishing sounds, the Skeleton Guards seemed to have grown a bit larger, but they still maintained the same look, fierce and emotionless as ever. Wha…What? 1000 points? Wasn’t it supposed to be 500? Su Ran then remembered, ah, there were two Skeleton Guards. He couldn’t waste his finance points, so he once again checked the properties of the Skeleton Guards. [Skeleton Guard] (Archery) Level 20 Qi Blood: 3000 Attack: 210-220 Defense: 40 Passive Skills: Break Invisibility – Invisibility is disabled when targets approach the Skeleton Guard. Self-Healing – Recovers 10% of Qi Blood every 10 seconds. Nice, nice, the attack power now looked decent, Su Ran nodded approvingly. “Honorable lord, the Weapons Shop owner is looking for you. Could you please go check it out,” said Butler Liu reluctantly, glancing at Su Ran’s bladder one last time before walking away. Looks like another task is here. The little skeleton clink-clanked towards the house near the village entrance – the Weapons Shop. In the shop. The Weapons Shop owner was a blacksmith. Even though he had turned into a skeleton, his brawny figure that he had when he was alive was still noticeable. The Skeleton Blacksmith was energetically pounding away at an unformed iron blank, hitting left and right. Su Ran didn’t understand what he was doing, but the sound of the hammer hitting the iron blank was like a harmonious melody to his ears, sounding extremely pleasant. The blacksmith had hammered for a while, scooped up a ladle of cold water, and poured it onto the red-hot iron blank. A puff of white smoke rose instantly. The blacksmith walked to a spot not far from Su Ran, wiped his shiny forehead with a towel, and said to Su Ran in a heavy voice, “My lord, please excuse my neglect!” He’s already a skeleton, what sweat is there to wipe… “Oh, it’s all right, no problem,” said Su Ran with a smile. “Sir…” “You can just call me Blacksmith Li.” “Blacksmith Li, Butler Liu said you were looking for me?” Blacksmith Li slapped his forehead. “Look at my memory, I always forget everything when I start hammering. Wait a moment, let me have a look at you.” Su Ran instinctively covered his bladder.
