Star Trace Gate

It’s so hateful. Lao Liu has even reached level two.

Ren also felt that his son had grown up, got married and started a family, but he had not yet found a partner.

But if you think about it carefully, this is reasonable. Lao Liu became a player earlier than Ren Ye and completed more tasks. In addition, Qingliang Mansion is an SSS-level star gate, and the Temple District is an SS-level star gate. The rewards for these two tasks alone are very amazing, so it is reasonable for him to be promoted smoothly.

But Ren was still envious and jealous. He looked at Lao Liu and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, you stood up?"

"It's okay, it's just the inheritance of the giant." Old Liu replied calmly: "If you stand up, you will only reach my knees."

"…Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"

"Little brother, don't be so jealous. Although our shoulders are not even, our feelings are still there." If Lao Liu starts to show off, even eight big men can't deal with him.

Ren Ye was frustrated again and again, so he stopped dwelling on this topic. He looked at Lao Liu's face, frowned, and asked, "Didn't you use the thin Life Water? Your eyes...!"

"I used it." Old Liu shook his head and touched the eye patch on his face: "This seems to be a price. I can't restore it for the time being. And the stone of life is in my eye."

"Don't worry, your fate has been changed, and it will get better sooner or later." Ren also comforted him, "And the stone of life is in your left eye, I think... this is a good thing."

"It doesn't matter. One eye doesn't affect my view of the world." Old Liu waved his hand nonchalantly, without wasting any energy at all.

"There are two things I want to tell you."

The two of them sat in the bar, and Ren Ye spoke up, "First, Tang Feng has disappeared. When his parents come back, we have to find a way to find him. Second, we have approved your application to be a resident player in Qingliang Mansion."

Old Liu was confused: "Approved? I didn't apply, who approved it?"

"It's not important. The current situation is that many people who keep watch want to stay in Qingliang Prefecture, because the tasks here are generally simple, nothing more than suppressing bandits or something like that. This can get free experience and rewards, and you can also become an official. Look at Brother Huang, he is now the prefect, he has great power, he doesn't even listen to me, and he is planning to marry two concubines next month..." Ren also elaborated on the "facts": "There are only five places in total, Old Huang took one, the princess took one, there are not many left, and I am also a person who keeps watch, it's not easy to deal with the social etiquette. So, it's difficult for you to come in, it's very tricky...!"

Lao Liu looked at him, somewhat dissatisfied: "We are all brothers, and you are telling me this? You should figure it out yourself."

"Hey, are you willing to buy an official position?" Ren Ye suddenly asked.

"Buy an official position? What does that mean?" Old Liu was a little curious.

"Civil officials, from prefects and below, can all be sold; military officials, from generals to thousand households, to general flags and small flags, can also be bought." Ren Ye whispered, "Capital operation, bidding society, this is fair."

"Ah, this is how you operate it." Old Liu was stunned: "How many star sources did Old Huang spend to buy the prefect?"

"That... that's a lot. In addition to the one-time payment for the position, he also made a bet with me that the annual tax revenue of Qingliang Prefecture this year must reach a certain amount. If it's not enough, he will pay for it himself." Ren really admired his own quick thinking and said, "I didn't agree at first, but he was afraid that the position of prefect would be bought by someone. There was nothing I could do. It was hard to refuse. It was all a favor."

"Betting against GDP?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. Since you want to buy an official position, it's easy to do. You spend money, others don't, then I refuse, and no one can say anything." Ren Ye took a sip of water leisurely.

"How many star sources does the position of general require?"

"How much do you have?" Ren Ye asked back.

"I have hundreds of thousands of dollars now." Lao Liu thought for a while and replied.

"That may not be enough." Ren is also a professional pocket-picker, so he has to be reserved at this time.

"I can also bet with you! I can also get you GDP, such as the size of the army, the number of soldiers, the level of the generals' magical powers, etc." Lao Liu sat in the wheelchair himself: "Brother, you know me, I am good at gambling."

Damn it?

Ren was also stunned. He didn't expect to have an unexpected gain: "I agree with your idea. You spend money to buy an official position first, and then help me develop military strength with all your strength, including the accumulation of military supplies, the promotion of generals, training troops, etc. If you fail to do so, you will be fined." "This is reasonable." Lao Liu nodded seriously.

Ren also looked at him with a sidelong glance and gave him a thumbs up in admiration: "You are courageous. If you want to be a man, you should be the highest official. Wait a minute, I will ask Lao Huang to talk to you in detail."

ten minutes later.

Huang sat on the sofa, looked at Lao Liu and said, "I heard that you didn't take a penny, but you still want to bet on GDP? If you can't reach it, you will punish yourself?"

"Yes, I bought my position." Lao Liu emphasized, "Same as you."

Huang was silent for a few seconds and said, "You are right. Come on, sign the contract quickly. Relationship is relationship and money is money. Let's keep things separate."

"Okay." Old Liu nodded. "We'll be serving in the same court from now on. After we finish talking, I'll treat you to some lamb ribs!"

"I'll treat you, I'll treat you." Brother Huang looked at Lao Liu distressedly, and sent a message to Ren Ye with his mobile phone: "Where did you find such a stupid brother?!"

Twenty minutes later, after discussing Lao Liu's treatment, Qingliang Mansion had its third permanent player.

From then on, Ren was ready to close his door. He would find an opportunity to sell the remaining two places to Li Yan and Tang Feng at the end of the year. Of course... if the latter could be found.

It is more suitable for Lao Liu to take the path of a military officer. Although he does not understand ancient military affairs, Qingzhou Guard has many experienced veterans who can assist him.

Children must be trained from a young age, and generals must be cultivated from their forties. The most important thing is that he is willing to gamble and is willing to buy an official position with his own money. This kind of enthusiasm is not possessed by others.

Tied to death.

Must be tied to death!

……

Brother Huang took his big enemy to eat lamb ribs, while Ren Ye took out his phone and sent a text message to Lao Yang.

The other party told him that he wanted to bring his family to Kyoto and deal with the assets in his hands.

Ren also agreed immediately and promised to help him connect with the Ministry of Revenue of the New Year's Eve Watcher.

He even took into account that Old Man Yang was in production and was the workshop director.

If we talk about it, and he brings his technology to Qingliang Prefecture, then... this land can usher in the era of great steelmaking?

Ask later.

After leaving the bar, Ren Ye entered Suzaku City and met his second master, Zhao Baicheng.

In the academy, Zhao Baicheng sat on the couch, looking at Ren Ye with a little dissatisfaction: "...Your Majesty, it's so difficult to see you now."

This sounded a bit sarcastic, but Master Zhao had told him before that after coming out of the Star Gate, he must report to him as soon as possible, firstly to report his safety, and secondly to verbally report his experience in the Star Gate.

Ren Ye knew that he was in the wrong, so he immediately clasped his fists and saluted, baring his teeth and saying, "Second Master, I'm about to be promoted to the second level. I just went back to Qingliang Mansion to take a look."

"What did you gain from this trip to the migration site?" Zhao Baicheng asked.

"Have."

Ren Ye immediately reported: "Team member +1, I also found some information about the demon monk. I got one of his items, called the Demon Monk's Finger of Reincarnation...!"

He reported in detail his experience in the Star Gate, without hiding any details.

After listening to this, Zhao Baicheng slowly stood up and asked: "Did your friend obtain the inheritance of the giants?"

"Yes, I haven't discussed the details yet." Ren nodded, "But his inheritance should be quite special. His left eye was injured and blinded, but he drank the sacred water of life, but it didn't heal. It is said that the stone of life is in his left eye."

"What do you think of his character?" Zhao Baicheng asked with his hands behind his back.

"He is more persistent than me in some things." Ren also thought about it and commented seriously: "The reason why the Stone of Life recognized him is because he saved a little girl in the sect...!"

After listening to this, Zhao Baicheng asked: "Has he ever considered joining the people who keep watch on the New Year?"

"Well, I'll ask him later. However, he may not be willing to join the official organization." Ren Ye replied seriously: "It's due to his experience."

"No hurry." Zhao Baicheng waved his hand: "You should pay more attention to him. To join the Shousui people, you must first recognize our culture and beliefs, otherwise the inheritance will be useless no matter how rare it is."

"Yes."

"...!"

Zhao Baicheng walked on the ground, thinking for a long time, and then whispered: "The demon monk went to the Temple of Life with the intention of stealing the Stone of Life...!"

"I have speculated on this matter." Ren Ye took over the conversation: "His motive for stealing the Stone of Life is already very obvious."

"To resurrect your wife and children?" Zhao Baicheng looked at him.

"It must be." Ren Ye analyzed, "However, the Stone of Life does not seem to be able to bring the dead back to life, or it simply did not recognize the demon monk. The latter did not take it away and failed."

Zhao Baicheng said softly: "Show me the invitation letter you got."

"brush!"

Ren Ye raised his hand upon hearing that, and the invitation letter that was only for the top 20 appeared in his palm.

Zhao Baicheng took a look and pointed at the invitation letter and said, "Some of our people who are staying up all night have also received this invitation letter."

Ren was also stunned: "So many?"

"Yes, there are a lot of these invitations, but they haven't been activated yet." Zhao Baicheng nodded and said, "If activated... then the competition for this star gate will be more intense than ever. I told you before that if I want you to enter the star gate, I also need this invitation letter."

"Oh, that's it."

"The traces of the demon monk in the migration site star gates are too obvious." Zhao Baicheng said calmly: "And you have a deep connection with him, so the migration site star gates are more important to you than to others. You should hurry up...!"

"boom!"

Before the master could finish his words, Ren suddenly froze in place, and the star source fluctuations on his body instantly became chaotic, like a strong wind.

Zhao Baicheng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes brightened: "You are going to... upgrade?!!"
