A game where you have to pay to win? But I have a lifespan roulette wheel!

Liang Zhong was puzzled.

Liang Zhong obeyed.

Make a peace sign with your fingers.

send.

next second.

"A grown man acting cute, how disgusting."

"Holy crap, Brother Jiang!"

Liang Zhong jumped.

That's terrifying.

How many players from the Blue Star civilization can access such advanced technology as teleportation these days?

Jiang Lin didn't have time to waste with him and led the Beast King to look around at the surroundings.

"Where is the person who can speak to you?"

"Okay, okay, right away!"

Liang Zhong took out a computer.

Start the video conference.

"..."

I've already sent it over, and you're still giving me a video conference?

Video conferencing can't convey as much information as face-to-face communication.

Moreover, this is under the premise that he has the advantage in strength.

Not allowed.

The video call connected five people in total.

Before they could even react.

Jiang Lin had already appeared behind them.

Before I could even exclaim in surprise.

All five people had already appeared in the conference room that Liang Zhong had prepared.

"Everyone, I think it'll be more convenient to chat this way. I'm sure no one has any objections, right? Of course, I'll take you back after we're done discussing."

"It's alright."

Let's get down to business.

The five elderly people did not care about Jiang Lin's slightly provocative behavior.

Jiang Lin nodded in satisfaction.

Thankfully, they weren't the type to come up and yell, "How can you be so rude?" Otherwise, a small conflict might have broken out.

That makes things much easier.

Jiang Lin pulled out the Beast King.

"This is the city lord of the City of Freedom, the Beast King, the only professional with a unique skill. She is currently weakened due to some special circumstances. She possesses a rare artifact that allows the only professional to ignore the level of the intrusion channel and directly descend upon Blue Star through a low-level intrusion channel. What the King of Sin wants is this rare artifact."

These words were spoken.

The five elderly people started chatting.

"Can you control this thing? I mean, can you entrust it to our planet for safekeeping?"

The Beast King remained silent.

These old men have no right to speak to her.

Jiang Lin explained, "The Beast King is now greatly weakened and needs someone to protect her. She's not stupid."

"Can we kill him and have him drop this item?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't you read yesterday's report? When players kill each other, you can only loot the corpse, not their inventory."

Jiang Lin only realized this when he heard it: so players can't loot each other's bags after a kill?

No wonder he killed Leng Qingxue and Ji Boda before.

All we found on them were stun guns and knives.

I initially thought it was because the two of them were too poor.

Now I realize that's the reason.

"If she can't touch the bag, wouldn't that be even better? Let that thing just rot in her backpack?"

Anyway, no matter how you calculate it.

So you're just trying to kill the Beast King, right?

Jiang Lin quickly waved his hand to interrupt.

His purpose in coming here was not to discuss how to deal with the Beast King.

If he wanted to kill the Beast King, he would have done it already; why would he need to consult with them?

"That item is a rare artifact. It's a bit special; after a player dies, it doesn't disappear along with the player's inventory. Instead, it randomly reappears in the world of the pay-to-win game (this setting has been added in Chapter 52; I forgot to include it before)."

Jiang Lin placed his hand on the Beast King's head and patted it. "The King of Sin has managed to find this item in the Beast King's possession. When he reappears, he will definitely be able to find it again. Keep this item on the Beast King, and I will protect him. Don't worry, the King of Sin cannot keep me here."

Upon hearing this...

After a moment of silence, the elder sitting in the middle spoke up: "In that case, young friend Jiang, what exactly do you wish to discuss with us?"

You've already made up your mind, so why are you asking us?

"The main reason I'm telling you this is to explain why, due to the system announcement just now, I had no choice but to flee with the Beast King in a moment of desperation. Otherwise, if the King of Sin were to descend upon Blue Star, the situation would be even worse."

They came all this way to attend the meeting.

Was Jiang Lin just trying to take the blame for himself?

of course not.

Now comes the important part!

Hearing Jiang Lin say this...

The elderly men's expressions did not change much.

Although this happened very quickly.

However, Liang Zhong should have given a brief report on the situation.

"This is already a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune; young friend Jiang, there's no need to blame yourself."

"I'm not blaming myself, am I?"

"..."

"I'm here today for two reasons: firstly, to do business with you all, and secondly, to rapidly improve the overall strength of our people."

"Young friend Jiang, what do you mean?"

Jiang Lin cleared his throat.

"The matter I discussed with Liang Zhong before, that I would sell various common profession change scrolls for a month's price, with the resale price to be determined by you, may need to be changed."

I heard it was about this.

The expressions of the group immediately became focused.

Jiang Lin's deal is something that can benefit the entire nation.

They couldn't help but care.

"Young friend Jiang, is there something troubling you?"

"Could it be that the City of Freedom has been destroyed, and such cheap job change scrolls can no longer be found??"

Jiang Lin shook his head.

He was able to find a large number of cheap job change scrolls.

Jiang Lin didn't intend to explain; as long as he could produce the goods, that was enough. As for how they got them, he'd let them guess.

"What I mean is, the invasion channel is about to open, and everyone's strength needs to be improved rapidly. I will be releasing a large number of job change scrolls, but I hope that everyone will not raise prices for the time being, but rather allow more people to have jobs, thereby increasing their survival rate during the upcoming invasion."

Ok.

The more important reason is...

As long as the price isn't increased, the price sold by the government will be one-third of the price in the game, allowing everyone to purchase it more quickly.

Jiang Lin will also be able to gain more lifespan more quickly.

Hearing Jiang Lin's words...

The five elderly people immediately relaxed.

The way she looked at Jiang Lin was also full of love.

It was as if an elder were watching a finished product a thousand times more closely.

"Oh, I had no idea what it was about. Oh, it's just this."

"Young friend Jiang, don't worry. We never intended to raise the price; we planned to sell it to our citizens at a fair price."

"Yes, we originally planned to sell them to our citizens at a fair price, and then sell those lucrative professions abroad or into the life-saving game at the price of two months' rent. Young friend Jiang, you don't need to worry about this."

"It's a pity that when we learned that gold could be exchanged for lifespan, we used all of our country's gold reserves to exchange for lifespan in the game. Perhaps the amount of gold sold at once was too large, because the cities where we are stationed have basically stopped buying gold. Otherwise, we could have created more professions and come to you, young friend, to buy job change scrolls."

"Excellent, excellent! Young friend Jiang is indeed a talented person who cares deeply about the country and its people. We old folks thank you on behalf of the people of the whole country."

As they spoke, the elderly men were about to stand up and bow to Jiang Lin.

"Gentlemen, no, no!"

Jiang Lin was far from being able to accept such a great gift.

People of similar age usually joke around, and Jiang Lin, as his father, wouldn't hold back.

But this matter.

He had ulterior motives, and quite a lot of them; his conscience was somewhat unable to bear such a generous gift.

But the five elderly people wouldn't listen to his advice.

He only turned slightly to the side.
