Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Level 10 Divine Skill!

Chu You’s eyes held no focus, looking rather vacant.

"Old Kill, let’s add one more unit, comprised entirely of assassins, to scout out the enemy’s situation." Chu You knew well the necessity of having an assassin scouting unit, especially during PVP fights. He wanted them to stay hidden in key locations, merge into the enemy’s periphery, constantly watch for changes, and report back first-hand intelligence. For a commander, this was a huge help, allowing him to foresee enemy movements, set up ambushes in advance, and formulate tactics beforehand!

The current guilds and players situation is that demand exceeds supply. The number of players that the guilds can hold is relatively small, and the number of guilds is also relatively small. Consequently, many players have no guild to join. Therefore, Chu You was not worried about Killing Commander not being able to recruit 24 full units of assassin profession!

This led some below-average guilds to become overly arrogant. They even required members to pay a membership fee to join the guild, which was just absurd! There was nothing that could be done though, it was just the way things were in the early stages of the game.

From this, you can imagine how eager a lot of individual players were to join the Super God Guild! Not only did they not have to pay a membership fee, but they also received salaries, and were provided with DKP Points. The only rule was to obey orders!

"Boss, to tell you the truth, I’ve always wanted to create an assassination profession guild. To focus on some assassination business, haha!" Seeing Chu You speaking thus, Killing Commander confided an idea that had been lingering in his mind.

You definitely succeeded in doing this in the previous life, rest assured that one day you’ll get to realize your grand ambitions!

"Haha, this could be a good way to make a fortune. Your suggestion reminded me of something, very good, very good. When the time comes, I will let you proceed with this!" At this, an idea began to vaguely form in Chu You’s mind. Though it was still unclear, it seemed like a path to massive wealth.

The city environment here looked even more impoverished and desolate than other places in Yan Kingdom. Walking through the street, Chu You found the mansion of the city lord. This was all according to the mission progress.

Utilizing his nobility ties, Chu You unimpededly entered the innermost part of the mansion and met the man in charge: City Lord Xue!

"So you are Night Ghost? You indeed have an exceptional air of a dragon among men! I heard of your feats." City Lord Xue began speaking with a smile as soon as he saw Chu You.

"Ahaha, City Lord Xue flatters me. The reason for my visit is to appease the refugees. I would like to request your assistance." Upon seeing City Lord Xue, Chu You’s eyes flashed slightly. This was because he knew that after a player triggers the relevant game plot, City Lord Xue would rebel.

"A young man with great potential, oh how good it would be if Yan Kingdom had more prodigies like you! Let me explain the situation succinctly, the refugees have been gathered in a few areas along Wui River, they are temporarily within controllable range, only..." At this point, City Lord Xue sighed and shook his head, "There’s a shortage of supplies, we will not last much longer, The court has no money, and neither do I. I cannot provide enough money for the refugees’ lodging and food, if this continues, a rebellion is inevitable."

"How can we get food? And how are we to build houses for the refugees?" Following the mission prompts, Chu You asked directly.

"The food merchants have all gone into hiding. Our only option is to buy from the overseas merchants on Lucky Island."

"Lucky Island?" Hearing this, Chu You couldn’t help but exclaim while his heart skipped a beat as memories about Lucky Island surfaced in his mind.

"Indeed, it is an island for free trade. It will be open soon, there won’t just be sources of food there, but also countless magical treasures brought from overseas. As long as you have money, you can get anything there!" City Lord Xue provided some information about Lucky Island.

Chu You knew all of this already. What surprised him was that, completing this mission would trigger the opening of Lucky Island. This was fantastic news for him; it meant that because of him, Lucky Island would be opening earlier than intended!

Seeing that Chu You wasn’t saying anything, City Lord Xue continued, "As for residential buildings, I’ve allocated a certain area. Once you reach there, you can start building houses. People regard food as their heaven, I advise you to buy food first to solve the food and clothing problem of the refugees. I suggest buying at least one hundred and fifty thousand dan of food!" Chu You quietly opened his mission interface. It showed clearly that he had to buy a hundred thousand dan of food, but City Lord Xue was requesting for one hundred and fifty thousand dan of food.

Are you planning to use this for your rebellion?

"One hundred and fifty thousand dan of food? This..." Chu You made a troubled expression, but he was secretly pleased. This was because he could profit from this. However, if a player did not have enough money or was unwilling to fulfill this request, they could decline it.

"What’s wrong? Is there something you’re reluctant to say? Spit it out!"

"Well, I’ve scraped together enough money for only a hundred thousand stones of grain because the Court only mentioned that a hundred thousand stones would suffice. But now, Lord Mayor, when you say a hundred and fifty thousand stones, it’s beyond my means."

"Ah, I see." The disappointment crossed Mayor Xue’s eyes clearly when he heard Chu You’s words. His voice seemed to sag, no attempt made to hide it. The players couldn’t miss it.

Chu You quickly changed tack, "But that doesn’t mean I can’t meet Mayor Xue’s demand. If Mayor Xue can provide some superfluous treasures, I might be able to exchange them for what we need in the Cultivation World, then it’s a win-win!"

"Humph!" Mayor Xue snorted coldly upon hearing this, "You think you can exchange garbage for fifty thousand stones of grain? You think all the cultivators in the Cultivation World are idiots?"

’Wham!’ Chu You slapped his thigh, amazed, and gazed at a bewildered Mayor Xue, exclaiming, "Lord Mayor, you’ve got it spot on, they are a bunch of idiots!"

"That can’t be..." Mayor Xue was still bewildered.

"Yes, it is. There’s a concept called ’Pretentiousness’ in our Cultivation World. It’s elusive, yet all cultivators chase after it. What you see as garbage, to them, could be a matter of face, something that can boost their Pretentiousness!"

"Pretentiousness..." Mayor Xue muttered this unfamiliar term, attempting to understand it. But his face was still full of confusion.

Chu You nodded earnestly, "Mayor Xue, are you willing to pay this small price?"

At this point, Mayor Xue dispelled the confusion in his eyes and turned to Chu You. He waved his generous sleeve, and four Skill Books appeared on the table.

Holy Crap! Skill Books! Chu You’s eyes widened in disbelief at the sight.

Skill Books, that’s face right there. They can elevate one’s pretentiousness! The higher the pretentiousness, the flashier they’ll be!

Chu You thoroughly examined the Skill Books on the table; if he wasn’t satisfied, he would cancel the transaction.

"These cultivation secrets are relics from my youth, now obsolete. I won’t deceive you Lord Chu, they’re not garbage, I went through hell and high water to get them. Have a look. I believe the cultivators in the Cultivation World will appreciate them!" As for whether they’re worth fifty thousand stones of grain, Mayor Xue was unsure as he sipped his tea.
