Angel: "Why are you all so serious?"
Huo Chen: "This is our preliminary contract proposal. Please take a look."
Angel: "We only mentioned it at dinner, and it's already drafted?"
Si Xiaoyi looked at the two of them with a gossipy expression: "You two had dinner together?! Something's up~~"
"Stop gossiping!" Huo Chen looked at Yun Qi. "You're now an honorary elder of the gang, and the shops in Qingfeng City will permanently reserve a counter for you. You can sell whatever you want. Also, all the main products sold in Qingfeng City will be half price for you."
Yunqi looked at the preliminary contract: "You want me to be the deputy city lord?"
"Yes, if you don't want to get involved, you don't have to. You will enjoy all the powers of the deputy city lord."
"..."
"When doing raids or raid quests, is it okay to prioritize teaming up with guild members?"
"Can."
"You have the right to handle the equipment and materials you get from solo dungeons yourself, and I know you usually sell equipment or materials in the world chat. But if you get them in a group, can you give priority to guild members?"
"Can."
"Large-scale battles such as guild wars and city wars are mandatory unless there are special circumstances."
"Can."
"Regarding herb gathering, if you intend to sell high-level herbs, give priority to the gang, and we will buy them at market price."
"Can."
"In terms of pharmaceuticals, we will need your help to make potions. Of course, the materials will be provided by the gang."
"Can."
"How about we sign a one-year contract first?"
"It seems like I'm the one profiting all the time? Aren't you guys losing money?"
Si Xiaoyi quickly replied, "It's not a loss, it's not a loss. We've already profited from having you stay in our gang."
The others nodded in agreement.
Okay, sign your name, and the moment the contract officially takes effect, a global announcement will be made.
[World Announcement]: Congratulations to [Angel] on becoming the Deputy City Lord of [Qingfeng City]!
[World Announcement]: Congratulations to [Angel] on becoming the Deputy City Lord of [Qingfeng City]!
[World Announcement]: Congratulations to [Angel] on becoming the Deputy City Lord of [Qingfeng City]!
There's an announcement for the deputy city lord? Looking at the shiny "deputy city lord" prefix in front of his name, he'll be a sitting duck in guild wars and city battles from now on.
Xingchen seemed to read her mind: "Don't worry, my prefix is brighter. If anyone's going to attack first, it'll be me."
Looking at the dazzling "City Lord" prefix above Xingchen's head, it was indeed more noticeable.
In this game, the prefixes for guild leader, deputy guild leader, city lord, and deputy city lord are all quite flashy, and you can't turn them off. This is what they call "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."
Although Yunqi really didn't want to get involved, she still participated in most of the guild's activities. These past few days, she'd been running dungeons and fighting world bosses with Huo Chen and the others, and they'd also participated in quite a few guild wars. Because our side had two divine beasts, and the guild wars had a protective bonus, we basically won more than we lost. Many players complained that it was unfair, but the official explanation was that the other side had divine beasts, which was a setting of the "Second World" AI, and they couldn't change it.
This sparked a debate on the forums, with some saying that the bonuses given to mythical beasts were unfair and disrupted the game's balance.
Of course, there are other viewpoints: this isn't unfair, it's just that some people are envious of why they don't have the mythical beasts. If they owned the mythical beasts themselves, they wouldn't feel it's unfair.
Mythical beasts are inherently unique; it's impossible for everyone to have a single mythical beast, otherwise what would be the point of the game?
Ultimately, the matter was dropped. "Second World" is controlled by an AI, and official personnel cannot interfere arbitrarily except in special circumstances.
That weekend, Yunqi was eating lunch she had made herself at home. Green seedlings had already sprouted in the garden. It had rained the day before, and the water droplets on the seedling leaves were crystal clear. Yunqi's life was peaceful and fulfilling.
"Ding, the task 'Treat yourself well and love yourself well' has reached 70% progress."
The original owner, Anqi, once fantasized about having her own home, a piece of land, where she could grow her favorite vegetables, not have to worry about making a living, and do what she liked, such as cooking her favorite dishes, reading her favorite books, listening to her favorite songs, wearing her favorite clothes, and dressing up as she pleased... This was the deepest longing in the original owner's heart.
Now Yunqi has fulfilled all her wishes. Yunqi has added clothes of different styles according to Anqi's preferences, as well as various exquisite accessories. Every time, Yunqi can feel the joy deep in her heart. Yunqi knows that it is the original owner Anqi's feeling.
At the end of the semester, the school let out for winter break, and the Spring Festival was approaching. Students from S University gradually went home.
Ever since Anqi's parents learned that Yunqi had bought a villa near S University, they've been eyeing it.
An's father was frightened by Yunqi's gaze. Remembering how badly he had treated her in the past, he was too ashamed to ask to live in a villa and left in a dejected manner.
Du Xinyu went too far, bringing Anqi's mother with her and actually trying to move into her house.
"Sister, now that you have money, isn't it your duty to let Mom come and enjoy a comfortable life?"
“First of all, your surname is Du, and mine is An. We are not sisters, so I cannot accept the title of ‘older sister.’ Secondly, Ms. Li (Anqi’s mother) is not yet of age where she needs my support, is she?”
"Sister!! How could you... be so heartless?! She's your mother!!"
"I'm heartless? My mother? Did my mother ever raise me for even a single day? Wasn't it my grandmother who raised me? After my grandmother passed away, I lived in your house. I could tolerate being teased by you, but you still had to complain about me. I did all the laundry, swept the floor, cooked the meals, washed the dishes, and took out the trash. Wasn't being your housekeeper for a day enough?!"
"...I don't care! Mom! I want to live here, I don't want to go back to that dilapidated house!!"
