Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

Chapter 289: Chapter 248: Glorious Level Attribute, That Qingqiu Pervert is Here Again

Richard’s expression changed when he heard the notification.

“Glorious level?”

After he watched it a few more times, he suddenly became interested.

Doing legendary deeds would earn them points and would be spread among the natives.

And a notable glorious level could attract heroes to take the initiative to join.

It looked pretty good.

Come to think of it, as a human on the surface, he had to gain the approval of the underground overlord.

They also took the initiative to invite him to be the Vice President of the City Council. His experience was indeed glorious–although the symbolic significance of this identity was greater than the practical significance.

Richard looked at the level 15 dungeon hero and said solemnly.

“Sel, I accept your invitation.”

“May the friendship between Twilight City and Bloodhoof City be eternal!”

The words without the slightest shirk made Sel Bloodhoof smile brightly.

“President Sel, it’s an honor for Twilight City!”

If the other players knew that an NPC took the initiative to ask Richard to be the Vice-President of their City Council and that Richard had taken advantage of him after he had agreed, they would probably be more jealous than eating lemons.

At this point, other than a few players who could make it, most needed to have the right to be looked at by high-level NPCs.

The players’ development time was still short.

[Ding~ You have become the Vice President of Bloodhoof City’s Council. It will automatically activate attributes: Glorious Level.”

[Ding~ You have been recognized by the underground clan as a human from the surface and have obtained a high status. You have received 1 point for underground world mythos.]

[Ding~ Fortress City has offered a reward of 10 million units of food for you for setting an unprecedented record in the underworld. Your reputation has spread far and wide in the underworld, and you have gained one underworld glorious point.]

The system notifications put Richard in a good mood.

Richard’s expression became a little strange after a few glances.

He could understand why he had to become the Vice-President of Bloodhoof City to gain a glorious level.

Why did Fortress City offer a reward of ten million units of food?

Would the gray-colored dwarves be willing to spend so much money?

The food in the underground world and the food on the surface were two different concepts.

However, both sides were already mortal enemies, so there was no problem for the other party to do so.

This high reward had added another glorious deed to his list.

It was a benefit given to him by the gray-colored dwarf.

Richard opened up his legend status panel with a burning curiosity.

[Glorious Level: 2 (Famous reputation, limited to the underground world)]

[Additional Feature: Deterrence-intimidate enemies with lower mythos than you, causing them to feel awe. There is a slim chance of attracting dungeon heroes to take the initiative to join you. When entering the underworld city, the relationship will automatically be upgraded to cold.]

The attributes didn’t look bad.

The key was that he did not pay anything. And it was purely an extra gain for whoring.

When he obtained more glorious points, the additional attributes would continue to increase in the future.

Perhaps one day, he only needed to say his name, and the field troops and heroes would kowtow to him.

Just like gods, when a powerful god descended on the main plane, the troops in the wild would probably kneel before the other party before they spoke.

It was deterrence.

The only pity was that these two points of glorious level were only effective in the underground world.

He was delighted, and his gaze on Sel became increasingly kind after the harvest.

The underground world had an endless amount of gold.

The two entered the city Lord’s mansion together in a harmonious atmosphere.

In the hall, they sat opposite each other.

After a few minutes of small talk, Richard brought the topic back to business.

“Have there been any strange movements from the gray-colored dwarves?”

Sel’s face turned cold.

“Ever since you scared away those lowly beings, they have not dared to invade Bloodhoof City.

“They even vomited out the territories that they had originally occupied.”

As he spoke, emotion filled his eyes.

It was the deterrence of top-level battle power.

Richard had scared the gray-colored dwarves out of their wits. And all of their powers cooped in Fortress City, no longer as arrogant as before.

As Sel spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and his tone became serious.

“Vice-President Richard, the dwarves are scared. But they haven’t given up yet.

“Fortress City had looked for a way to deal with you.

“They offered a sky-high price of 10 million units of food as a reward for your life a week ago.”

Sel gritted his teeth at this point. It was like something had poked his wound.

“Ten million units of food! The land occupied by those damn bastards is too fertile!”

‘Good Lord, did he have to be so excited?

‘But why do I feel like you’re not worried about me? But targeting the 10 million units of food?’

Richard waved his hand dismissively.

This proves that the gray-colored dwarves are guilty instead. There’s no need to worry.

As Sel said that, Richard’s eyes revealed a probing look.

“I left in a hurry the last time and forgot to ask what the strongest trump card of Fortress City was?”

Sel’s expression was off as he spoke in a low voice.

“An intensely strapping alchemy weapon. It’s a hundred times more paralyzing than a giant alchemy cannon.

“A hundred years ago, when Bloodhoof City was at its strongest, the vanguard of the troop once suppressed Fortress City.

“But I still failed in the end…

“My grandfather, a powerful existence who was about to become an extraordinary warrior, was buried under that terrifying alchemy weapon.”

Sel consoled Richard when he saw his serious face.

The weapons of the gray-colored dwarves are powerful. But their size is also intensely exaggerated. They can only use them to defend cities.

As long as we don’t go to Fortress City, there won’t be any major problems.

Richard nodded.

As expected, there were no weaklings in the underground forces.

Then, he asked curiously.

“Bloodhoof City should have such a weapon too. Why didn’t they use it last time?”

Sel shrugged helplessly.

“When my father was hunting that transcendent black dragon, the dragon breath destroyed the weapon…

Richard was left speechless.

No wonder the dwarves were so unscrupulous.

His trump card was gone, so how could he blame his opponent for not caring about martial virtue?

He then asked about the alchemy weapon of the gray-colored dwarves, and Sel answered the details.

This underground world had already become his exclusive property, and they had to clean all disharmonious voices in the future.

Fortress City was the biggest obstacle.

Richard had a rough idea of what was going on.

After he took this matter to his heart, he didn’t dwell on it. There was plenty of time to resolve it in the future.

He shifted his attention to the primary purpose of his visit to the underground world.

“How many weapons have the other underground prison forces transported during this period?”

Sel immediately perked up.

“Countless,

“After I spread the news and bought some equipment with food, it spread around.”

In the past ten days, dozens of merchant groups have entered Bloodhoof City.

He didn’t expect the response to be so big, so he was both excited and nervous.

He was excited because the price he offered to the other forces was not high. If he continued to sell to Richard at the same price as last time, Bloodhoof city would make a lot of money.

He was apprehensive because he had already spent more than half of the food he had to earn more.

It wasn’t just the profits from the last time. Sel had also used up a third of the food in inventory.

Bloodhoof City would face an unprecedented disaster if Richard didn’t show up.

Fortunately, he had made the right bet this time.

The other party didn’t retract his word and even arrived early.

Richard’s mood brightened when he heard that.

It was wise to build a good relationship with Bloodhoof City and support them.

He didn’t need to do anything now. They gave all the work to Sel. He would directly harvest it after the workers did the dirty tasks.

What could be more satisfying than this?

It reminded him of the European nobles in the medieval age of Planet Blue, who exchanged cheap industrial products for expensive gemstones and furs in the new world.

Pure profiteering.

No, he and Bloodhoof City were mutually beneficial. How could it be the same as the colonizers?

Richard said.

“Sel, move the weapons you bought these days out of the warehouse. We’ll carry out the transaction now… We’ll still use food to settle the bill.”

Sel was overjoyed, but he suddenly thought of something and said hesitantly.

“Vice-President Richard, many caravans have yet to trade with me. Would you like them to come with me…”

Richard looked at him meaningfully.

“Sel, those caravans are here to make a deal with you.

“I will only buy weapons from you.”

Sel was stunned for a moment. Gratitude and admiration shrouded his eyes.

The meaning of these words was explicit–give up the benefits.

He didn’t want to go around him and let him continue to earn his share.

However, the trade this time involved millions of units of food.

What a considerable amount of wealth this was!

Would he give up several benefits if he were in his shoes?

It would be arduous to do.

Richard’s position in his heart rose again.

It was the blessing of the goddess of luck to have such a wide and generous partner.

Richard suddenly remembered something.

“Sel, we’re doing long-term trade. You’d better set a price that the caravan can accept without feeling like they’re losing out.

“Squeezing it dry in one go is far from a long-term solution.”

“And for the first trade, most of the forces must be very cautious and didn’t send all the goods over…”

Sel sighed and bowed deeply to Richard with his hands on his chest.

“Vice-President Richard, I’m impressed by your vision and breadth of mind.

“Don’t worry. They are delighted with the price Bloodhoof City offered.”

Richard didn’t say anything more.

Only when everyone could make a profit could the trade last.

It was true the dungeon forces sold obsolete weapons now, but couldn’t they forge top-tier weapons for sale in the future?

The thing that the underground world did not lack the least was ores.

It would bring endless wealth in the future as long as they develop the underground world.

Now that Sel had obtained a portion of the profits, he would be more active in expanding the market. It would allow more forces to participate in the trade.

All he needed to do was to come and harvest once in a while.

In this way, giving up a portion of the benefits was a substantial benefit.

Not long after, in front of Bloodhoof City’s warehouse, Richard began to sell equipment in bundles, just like last time.

The players on the forum were surprised to find that several cheap damaged pieces of equipment had suddenly appeared on the [Trading Market.]

A familiar feeling rose in his heart.

He quickly looked at the seller’s ID… The two syllables ‘Qingqiu’ shone brightly.

As expected, it was him!

Countless players gritted their teeth.

They already had a deep memory of this ID.

Messages flooded the forum not long after.

The content was… That Qingqiu pervert is here again!
