318 Chapter 318, the city that collects entrance tickets
Meng Jingtian didn’t reply, because the group had already arrived at autumn water city’s city Lord’s mansion.
As a player city, autumn water city’s city Lord’s mansion could be considered an “Important place”. Without the permission of city-building players, other players couldn’t casually enter.
Of course, this “Not allowed”wasn’t because the system didn’t allow it, but because the npcs in the city would stop it.
If the system did not allow it, then the player’s city would not have been breached by other players.
At this moment, with Meng Jingtian leading the way, the npcs near the city lord’s mansion naturally did not stop them. The group of people successfully entered the city Lord’s mansion. Zhao Yuqing had no choice but to believe it.
This “City in the sky”and “Holy City”in the eyes of the players really belonged to her son!
Meng Jingtian went straight to the city lord he had appointed, Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu had already made some adjustments to the NPC officials in the city. They were no longer the ones that Meng Jingtian had randomly appointed when the city was first established.
Meng Jingtian directly asked him to call the official in charge of the title deed to bring his mother and Zhao Lin down to choose a house. He stayed in the city Lord’s mansion to discuss with Dongfang Yu about collecting the city entrance fee.
“City entrance fee?”Dongfang Yu couldn’t help but be stunned when she heard what Meng Jingtian meant.
How could other cities not hope for more people to come? The more people there were, the better. It also meant that this city was more prosperous.
Meng Jingtian actually wanted to collect the city entrance fee! Wasn’t he chasing people out?
“What? No?”Seeing his reaction, Meng Jingtian said unhappily. This was his own city. He wouldn’t give the city Lord to an NPC and not be under his control, right?
He was the founder of this city and worshipped the gods!
“No, the Lord God wants me to work hard. Look, how much is the entrance fee?”Dongfang Yu was shocked and quickly came back to her senses. She asked Meng Jingtian in a low voice.
“Let’s set it at 1,000 gold coins for each person! They can stay in the city for 24 hours. After that, they have to buy tickets again!”
Meng Jingtian thought for a moment and said.
To him, 1,000 gold coins was simply too cheap.
Dongfang Yu’s mouth twitched. She really didn’t know what the Lord God was thinking. It was one thing for a city to charge entrance tickets, but it was still so expensive!
1,000 gold coins was enough for an ordinary NPC family to use for half a year. For ordinary players, there were no special encounters. They also needed to complete a month’s worth of quests in order to accumulate so much.
Would anyone still come after charging such an expensive entrance fee?
This new city should not be turned into a dead city by the Lord God!
Even if it was a city full of grandmasters, it would not be enough for people to spend half a year just to stay here for 24 hours, right?
It had to be said that Dongfang Yu was only an NPC after all. He could only see the situation in the eyes of the npcs, but he did not understand the players very well.
Among the players, there was never a lack of nouveau riche. 1,000 gold coins was really nothing to them!
Just like the map that Bai Xiaosheng sold to autumn water city, it was also 200 gold coins per copy!
Weren’t there still so many people who bought the map and came here?
Bai Xiaosheng could earn this money from the city he built, so why couldn’t he?
“That’s it for now!”Dongfang Yu wanted to persuade him again, but Meng Jingtian had already made his decision.
Helpless, he could only do as he was told.
Not long after, a city system announcement sounded.
“Ding! System announcement: the City Lord of Autumn Water City has issued a decree. All outsiders who wish to enter the city will have to pay 1000 gold coins per 24-hour entrance fee. In three seconds, non-autumn water city residents will be teleported out of the city!”
“…”
After a moment of silence, the originally noisy city instantly fell silent for a moment.
Before many players could react, they were all teleported out of autumn water city.
“F * ck! Why? This is a scam!”
“Why should they charge us entrance tickets?”
“What’s wrong with them! They charge us entrance tickets for a city!”
“Wasn’t this city built by Meng Shen? Was It Meng Shen’s idea to charge us entrance tickets?”
“Can npcs come up with such a scam idea?”
..
Outside autumn water city, the players who had been teleported out were discussing animatedly and loudly.
There were even some who directly shouted on the world channel, criticizing Meng Jingtian.
“Meng Shen, Autumn Water City collecting tickets was your idea? What do you mean by this? You must be crazy for lacking money!”
“That’s right! It’s just a city. Isn’t it a public place? To actually charge a fee, to think that you can think of such a thing!”
..
Meng Jingtian took a look. He had long expected that there would be people causing a ruckus.
After all, the sudden change from not charging to charging was something that many people could not bear.
Dongfang Yu looked at the virtual projection of the city that appeared to be somewhat empty. She glanced at Meng Jingtian and wanted to say something, but she hesitated.
Meng Jingtian ignored him. Instead, he looked at the world channel and calmly answered those curses.
“Come or not, my city is my decision!”
Seeing that Meng Jingtian had really appeared, the world channel was in an uproar. The arguments and curses were even more intense.
Meng Jingtian only smiled calmly. He got up and walked out of the city Lord’s mansion to look for his mother and Zhao Lin.
If you were to compete with these players, you would lose if you were serious. If you were angry, you would lose.
“Ah Lin, I remember that your lifestyle class is chef, right?”Coming to the real estate resources department, Meng Jingtian asked Zhao Lin who had already picked a shop.
“Yeah, why? I just randomly picked it when I first entered the game. I’m not a lifestyle player anyway.”Zhao Lin was a little confused and raised his head.
“Let’s go and find you a Master!”Meng Jingtian laughed.
“Master?”Zhao Lin was stunned. “Chef?”
“No, cousin, what are you doing? Do you really want me to be a chef?”
“It’s up to you whether you want me to be a chef or not. Anyway, you are definitely going to be a master. Do you still want the shop?”Meng Jingtian glanced at him and asked domineeringly. He was too lazy to explain too much.
“…”
Zhao Lin was speechless. This cousin would always threaten him.
“Yes!”The tall and strong Zhao Lin could only curl his lips like a little wife.
“Sigh, that’s right! Let’s Go!”Meng Jingtian patted his shoulder and nodded.
Then, he brought Zhao Lin out of the real estate resources department and casually pulled an NPC to ask, “Where are our chefs? We want Grandmaster Chefs!”
“Lord God, who are you talking about? There are 12 grandmaster chefs in our city, and in the north of the city…”the NPC who was called out answered respectfully with a face full of fear.
“Take us directly to the nearest one!”Meng Jingtian interrupted him.
Which chef was not important, but the fortuitous encounter of becoming a master did not have a system-wide voice announcement, but there was a system yellow-character announcement in the entire territory of the main city.
Meng Jingtian wanted Zhao Lin to advertise for him.
As the founder of Autumn Water City and a believer of God, it was too easy for one of his citizens to take in a disciple. It was just a matter of one sentence.
Thus, just as the players were still ridiculing Meng Jingtian in various channels and even verbally agreed to “Boycott the autumn water city agreement”, a yellow-character announcement appeared.
“System announcement: Player Zhao Lin is in the lead with great luck and extraordinary talent. Autumn Water City’s Grandmaster chef Huang he discerns heroes and accepts him as a disciple!”
