Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Samantha's eyes were red and brimming with tears, on the verge of sobbing, as she said with a wronged expression:

"I heard that adventurers from the Sandstorm District were causing trouble in the Monster Hills. Do you know how worried I was about you?"

"But what about you?"

"You treat me like this as soon as I get back?"

Li Wei is responsive to gentle persuasion but not to force; the more you try to be tough with him, the less he cares.

On the contrary, Levi was more willing to accept someone like Samantha who wisely began to back down.

His tone softened somewhat:

"You go out first, I'll sleep with you tonight."

Samantha put on her clothes, then burst into laughter through her tears:

"Okay, you said it yourself, I'll be waiting for you in bed!"

Before leaving, she "threatened" Li Wei:

"If you dare to lie to me, this is the last time we'll see each other."

boom--

Li Wei locked the door from the inside.

He took out the "Secret Book of Linguistics" and the painting Willow had given him from his storage ring.

Two sorcerers held the painting of Willow, making the naked Willow in the painting face Levi directly.

Li Wei used the flame to scorch the bottom of the esoteric linguistics book, almost burning it completely. He said earnestly:

"Willow, if you don't stop this damned fake secret world from affecting me, I'll burn the book of arcane linguistics and stuff you into a teleportation array and send you to the Golden Kingdom!"

Willow remains unchanged in the painting.

Li Wei immediately burned the precious book of knowledge, and in the painting, Willow immediately shouted:

"Don't!"

"Li Wei, don't do this!"

Li Wei stopped and said seriously, "You have one last chance."

Willow quickly stopped her trick of influencing Levi through the secret world, ensuring that the book of arcane linguistics truly belonged to Levi. She asked, puzzled:

"How did you discover the connection to the occult linguistics book?"

Li Wei extinguished the flame and said:

"It is often said in books that the most vulnerable place for legal professionals to tamper with knowledge books."

"The only things I have on me are the secret manuals, linguistic knowledge, and treasure books that you gave me."

"You are a genius mage from the White Tower region."

"Is it so hard for you to tamper with the treasure trove of knowledge?"

When Willow realized her scheme had been exposed, she readily admitted it, saying:

"Li Wei, I didn't mean to harm you. I used the Book of Knowledge so that you would spend more time with me..."

"I'm so lonely..."

Li Wei scoffed and mocked:

"Stop being so slutty. Don't think I don't know that the book of secret language and knowledge is the key item that dragged me into the secret world."

Willow paused, narrowed her eyes, and said guiltily:

"Li Wei... what nonsense are you talking about..."

Li Wei pierced through Willow's disguise and said:

"Is the 'Secret Book of Linguistics' a product of your secret world?"

"In other words, this is part of the arcane 'Study Prison' that you sketched in the arcane world."

"You used the influence of the esoteric linguistics book around me to help the secret world find me."

"I, who made the secret world mistakenly believe that I possessed a treasure book of secret language knowledge, am part of the secret character prison you created."

"So when I was summoned by the secret world, it was to go to you, because in the rules of the secret world, 'I' was originally part of your study."

This was Livy's discovery after Langes's dagger harassed the antlers.

He had just returned from the Secret World, so there was no reason for him to be "summoned by the Secret World" again.

The only possibility is that what Willow left with him could continuously resonate with the secret world, causing its influence to linger around him.

Upon careful consideration, the answer lies in the "Secret Book of Linguistics".

Willow was startled, because Levi's guesses were all correct.

After thinking quickly, she said frankly:

"I was wrong. What do you want me to do to make it up to you?"

As he spoke, he tried to press his face against the picture frame...

Li Wei said indifferently:

"Aren't there many other beings like you trapped in the secret world?"

Willow's face, which was about to squeeze out of the frame, froze for a moment, then she immediately guessed what Levi was thinking and said:

"You want to use your ability to freely enter and exit the secret world to blackmail those guys?"

Li Wei applied Langesi's words in a practical way:

"You call yourself a mage?"

"Speaking so rudely?"

"Am I extorting you?"

"I collect payment in advance for helping them escape the secret world later."

Willow, knowing she had done something wrong again and had been discovered by Li Wei, fawned over him:

"Yes, you're right."

Willow immediately filled the frame with her face, discussing the "blackmail" with Levi while atoning for her previous mistakes.

Chapter 73: Record-Breaking Revenue [4.3k words]

Li Wei walked out of the room.

He and Willow reached three agreements in a clear and concise manner.

This woman, from the very first day she met Li Wei.

They are enemies and lovers.

Even now, we remain true to our original aspirations.

Fortunately, Li Wei finally found Willow's weakness.

What do you smell like?

Samantha, with a keen sense of smell, asked the question.

Li Wei glanced sideways at the suspicious Samantha.

Snapped--

Samantha's plump buttocks swayed, and Levi, in a good mood, said:

"Wash yourself clean and wait for me tonight."

Samantha smiled from the bottom of her heart upon hearing this, hugged Levi's arm, and stopped asking where the smell on her body came from.

This was the first time Li Wei had extended an additional invitation to her.

She knew it.

Li Wei has her in his heart.

The goblin chewing, having been driven away by John through some means, saw Levi emerge with Samantha hanging from his body. He feigned ignorance and said:

"Li Wei, that damn disgusting goblin chewing thing, suddenly ran away..."

"Alas...this despicable, inferior race has no credibility whatsoever!"

Li Wei was too lazy to investigate how John and Chew were fighting like dogs.

As long as the price is right, everything is negotiable.

The deal with John was very pleasant; the old man fawned over Levi the whole time and generously offered him a discount.

A pair of Tier 1 Black Dragon-grade Demon Antlers, which can be used as raw materials for four or five Black Dragon-grade weapons and equipment, were bought by John for 180 gold coins, 20 gold coins higher than the market price.

A Tier 1 Black Dragon-grade Deer Antler Demon Spine sold for 39 gold coins.

It is also one of the forging materials, but it does not reach the Black Dragon level, and it is still 5 gold coins higher than the market price.

A Tier 1 Black Dragon-grade Deer Antler Demon bone marrow sold for 52 gold coins. It is a relatively rare alchemy material, but unfortunately it does not reach the Black Dragon grade. Otherwise, given the rarity of 'alchemy materials', it could have sold for about ten times the price.

John's price is still 8 gold coins higher than the market price.

Completed the three goblin quests.

There are 41 pairs of ordinary antler demon antlers, 41 antler demon vertebrae, and 30 antler demon marrow bones remaining.

The quest rewards 20 pairs of antler demon antlers, with a reward of 15 gold coins and 75 silver coins per antler.

20 Deer Antler Demon Spine Bones, reward 18 gold coins, 90 silver coins per bone;

30 pieces of Deer Antler Demon Bone Marrow, reward 20 gold coins, one piece costs around 66 silver coins.

The market price of deer antlers fluctuates around 50 silver coins, spine around 55 silver coins, and bone marrow around 40 silver coins, with an error of no more than 3 silver coins.

John, however, waved his hand and bought them all at the adventurer's quest price.

Including bone marrow, it was directly purchased for 67 silver coins, without any fuss about whether it was 66 copper or 67 copper.

He will lose money this time.

But John had a clear plan: he had a way to sell the Black Dragon-level materials to Golden Island.

Prices are 3-5% higher than on the island.

After calculating the price difference, John didn't lose much, and he didn't consider himself to have lost out.

He solidified his friendship with Li Wei by using "gold coins".

The next time there are Black Dragon-level materials, Li Wei will consider him first.

A steady, long-term approach is not suitable for his business relationship with Li Wei; a one-off deal is not appropriate.

Moreover, Li Wei will later have the spoils from deconstructing the magic stone tablet to sell...

The goblin chewed away two piles of coke, earning 5 gold and 20 silver from the first pile of Typhon Giant coke.

The second batch of materials—including the Gale Wolf leader, Lizardman leader, Rock Leopard, and some barely usable Gale Wolf and Lizardman materials—were to be sold to him at a fair price, as agreed with Chewing.

平价本来是8金30银，咀嚼执意多给1金，最终支付9金30银。

Chewing more gold coins was a way to further develop a relationship with Li Wei, hoping to one day acquire Black Dragon-grade materials from him...

And this is the core reason why John kicked him out.

Tier 1 Black Dragon Quest: Kill the Tier 1 Black Dragon monster, the Deer Antler Demon, to earn 50 gold coins and 10 goblin points.

Goblin Quest: Collect 20 pairs of antlers from the Deer Antler Demon to earn 15 gold coins and 2 goblin points.

Goblin Quest: Collect 20 Deer Antler Demon Spine Bones to earn 18 Gold Coins and 3 Goblin Points.

Goblin Quest: Collect 30 Deer Antler Demon Marrows to earn 20 Gold Coins and 3 Goblin Points.

At this point, Yulia's team's goblin points increased from 11 when Li Weigang joined to 42.
