Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

"Boss, where do we find the landlord?"

"It must be in the center, where you can oversee the whole situation. I like sleeping in the center of the cave the most."

A few minutes later, several men in black arrived at the center of the treehouse, a huge living room that was completely empty.

"Boss, where should we look next?"

"Let's go to the top floor. I've heard that rich people like to live in high places."

Then they went to the rooftop garden.

"Boss..."

"Go to the basement!"

Then they went into the empty underground living quarters.

"Let's go to a room with a view of the outside!"

The group went in and out of the rooms near the windows of the treehouse, finally stopping in a study with empty bookshelves, where they remained silent.

"Boss, why don't we go back and pack some magic equipment? Magic equipment should be able to sell for some money."

"No way, I, the boss, have spent so much time tonight, how can I not have achieved anything?"

"Since we can't find that person, let's smash this place up."

"Look at this bookshelf, let's smash it! What kind of cultured person are they if they don't even have any books?"

Several men in black raised their weapons, ready to smash things.

"Hey! Why are you destroying someone else's house when you're visiting?"

Li Ming's voice rang out behind them.

After the group entered the treehouse, he received a warning from the tree heart, so he remained hidden and followed behind the group of men in black.

The men in black who had been left in the warehouse had long been knocked unconscious, subdued, and tied up. From one of them, it was learned that the strength of this group of people was only at the initial stage of the second level.

I originally wanted to deal with them immediately, but I found them to be so funny that I ended up following them and watching the show the whole way.

Now that they're going to tear the house down, we can't just watch and have fun anymore.

"Are you the owner of this house?"

"Genuine, guaranteed!"

"Hehe, it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Since you've delivered yourself to our doorstep, tell us where you hid the Moon Spring Crystal. Don't worry, we only want money, we won't kill you. We'll take the Moon Spring Crystal and leave."

"You sound quite righteous, but unfortunately, you've spent all your Moon Spring Crystals! They're gone!"

"You're kidding us? How could we possibly use up all that Moon Spring Crystals? Do you think your treehouse is some giant magic array? Brothers, let's go! Tie him up and we'll find him ourselves. He's just a Tier 1 Bronze, and with all our Silver, it'll be a piece of cake!"

The men in black swarmed forward.

It was clear that they had done a lot of preparation work; they even found out that Li Ming was only at the first level.

However, they still knew a bit too little; they were unaware that Li Ming, as a first-tier cultivator, was somewhat different from others.

The figures moved swiftly, and Li Ming dodged left and right, fighting back and forth with the group of people.

He treated this battle as a real combat training exercise, taking the opportunity to test the results of his training over the past period.

A few minutes later, all the men in black were knocked to the ground.

Li Ming was still enjoying himself, but unfortunately they were too weak to handle the fight.

"Not bad, not bad, it seems that practicing martial arts is indeed useful."

If I had encountered them half a month ago, I could have won, but it definitely wouldn't have been this easy.

These people haven't even touched his clothes yet. No, they did touch them a few times, and the hem of his clothes got slightly dirty!

Looking at the weak-breathing men in black lying on the ground, Li Ming muttered to himself, "I wonder if killing them will give me any experience? Should I kill them or not?"

"No, no, brother, we're just thieves, we just wanted to steal some money, it's not a crime punishable by death!"

The leader of the men in black, lying on the ground, was so frightened that he begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Tsk~ Here, take it and tie it up yourself!"

Li Ming curled his lip, took out a bundle of rope, and tossed it to the leader of the men in black.

"Alright, sir, you can rest now, I can do it myself!"

......

Early the next morning, Lina arrived at Ahri's Orchard with the Royal Guard.

"Good morning, Mage Lina!"

"Good morning, Li Ming. You look like you didn't sleep well last night?"

"Oh~ A few petty thieves broke in last night. We fought with them. You've come at the right time. They're yours to handle."

Li Ming yawned and pointed to his own warehouse, where several men in black were tied up outside the warehouse door.

The captain of the royal guard was furious. "They dare to steal even our royal guard's goods?"

He walked up to several men in black and pulled off their masks.

"Isn't that a Big Goblin?"

"Since when have goblins dared to commit crimes in the royal court?"

"Take them back; I want to see who's behind them."

"I don't believe that these few goblins would dare to cause trouble in the royal court."

The subsequent handover of goods went relatively smoothly. Lina and her team cleaned out all the equipment in the warehouse and loaded it onto the custom-made large magic-powered trucks that had arrived.

As for the payment, it will be made after the Royal Guard has inspected the goods again.

"It will definitely arrive in two days at most!" Lina said.

"Could you issue another 'Temporary Bulk Moon Crystal Transaction Permit'? I still need to buy Moon Crystals."

"No problem, I'll have my mom get you a long-term permit, a year's is fine, okay?"

"OK!"

After Lina and the others left, Li Ming also took Carlisle out.

Today, he wants to take Carlisle to find a shop.

Although Isadora is a big customer, we can still sell ordinary goods and make some money to supplement our household income.

The two arrived at the central street, which was lined with a wide variety of shops. In addition to elves, many other races also did business here.

"Business seems to be going well; no one's subletting or reselling!"

"Carlisle, you know this place better. Go ask around and see if anyone wants to sublet or sell their shop. I'll go ask the innkeeper."

"No problem, boss! I'll definitely find you a cheap shop in a good location."

The two went their separate ways, with Li Ming visiting the hotel owner.

After half a month, the hotel had converted part of its second-floor rooms into a tea room and opened a mahjong parlor.

In the tea room, Li Ming met the group of elderly, elfin mahjong players who had been playing mahjong in the inn.

"Old Yil, we meet again. Have your card skills improved lately?"

"Haha, it's young friend Li! I heard you've made a big deal and bought an orchard outside the city to live in. What brings you here today?"

"Hey~ What big business? I only made a little money. After buying the orchard, I was broke. That's why I came to the inner city to find a shop. I plan to continue selling goods to supplement my household income."

"It seems you truly intend to stay at the Royal Court permanently, young friend. Welcome! By the way, Old Hal, I remember you had a shop you were planning to sell? Could you introduce it to young friend Li?"

"Oh dear, although my shop is on Central Avenue, it's not in the inner city, so it doesn't quite meet your standards, young friend Li. If you don't mind, I can introduce it to you?"

"I don't mind, I'm having a headache! I've looked around and haven't found many shops that are ready to be rented or sold. It doesn't have to be in the inner city, being on Central Avenue would be great."

"Alright, I'll take you to see it right away!"

"Hey, old Hal, you think you can just run away after winning?"

......

The two arrived at Hal's shop, and Li Ming immediately spotted Carlisle at the door, trying to persuade the shopkeeper.

"Boss, you're here! I'm negotiating with this guy; he wants 250,000 Elf Coins a month for rent."

"This is Central Avenue, this price is normal... Ah, Dad, what brings you here?"

Old Hal gave the elf a flick on the forehead. "All you do is eat, drink, and have fun. Business hasn't been good since you took over this shop. What, are you planning to rent it out now?"

"Dad, if I can't keep doing it myself, I can at least make some money by renting it out."

"Forget it, I can't be bothered with you. I recently opened a teahouse on the back street, you go and keep an eye on it for me. I'm planning to sell this shop."

"A teahouse? Hahaha~ Thank you, dear Dad, I'm off!"

After sending his son away, Hal said apologetically to Li Ming, "I'm sorry for taking your game and making money so casually. We looked for you before, but couldn't find you."

"It's alright. Games were invented to be played. Playing alone is no fun compared to playing with others," Li Ming waved his hand, indicating he didn't mind. "Let's take a look at this shop first!"
