My Chaotic City

Chapter 031 You've Fallen Off the Rankings

After seeing off the big deal, Li Hanqiang approached the master thief and leisurely started playing with him.

The master thief was very careful. He would only buy a few dozen bottles of medicine each time and then ask Li Hanqiang for a subsidy. After receiving the subsidy, he would continue to buy medicine.

He was terrified that Li Hanqiang would take advantage of him.

However, Li Hanqiang remained relaxed and always paid the subsidies very readily.

"This guy must have a team, he must have bought a lot of gold coins." The master thief secretly guessed. He bought a potion worth more than ninety gold coins, and Li Hanqiang subsidized him with more than 22 gold coins. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have a lot of gold coins on him.

"Brother Qiang, you're so loyal! I'll follow you from now on. I'll definitely fight monsters well on the next city defense mission. I'm going to sell medicine now, see you later!" The master thief patted his chest and teleported away in the blink of an eye.

Li Hanqiang rolled his eyes and turned to walk towards the Heart of Chaos.

Soon, he claimed the city defense reward and also received a [Rapid Development Gift Pack].

"Why not a big gift package?"

Li Hanqiang shook his head. He dared not rashly initiate the sixth wave of monster attacks and could only go fishing at Bibo Pond.

"Give me another Chaos Bottle! I want to build a Demon Mountain Cave!"

Li Hanqiang couldn't help but ponder the Demon Mountain Cave again. This was a special building that covered an area of ​​ten miles, definitely not ordinary. What kind of attributes would it have?

He never expected that he would be teleported over by the master thief again after he had just caught two green carp.

"Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang, I still need to buy medicine!"

With thirty middle-aged women working for him, this master thief can process medicines much faster than he can buy big deals.

"Buy, buy, buy whatever you want!" Li Hanqiang said with an air of extravagance. Every time this master thief came, he would give him 50 silver coins.

Then, the master thief came almost every thirty minutes for ten times in a row. In addition, he also made three big deals, which made it impossible for Li Hanqiang to fish in peace. He could only catch trash fish.

"Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang!"

Once again, the master thief teleported over with a big smile on his face.

Li Hanqiang was exasperated and said, "Brother, you have amazing stamina! Are you a professional drug dealer? You're coming here way too often!"

"Buy one more time, buy one more time!" The master thief said with a smile. He was full of energy. This time, he had more than doubled his principal by reselling the potions, which was equivalent to making a profit of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan!

For the first time in his life, he felt that making money was so easy, so how could he let go of this golden opportunity?

He is even ambitious now, with the idea of ​​dominating the entire Tianfeng City potion market.

Li Hanqiang immediately saw through the master thief's intentions, knowing that he had made a lot of money, and couldn't help but feel a little envious, saying, "If you keep buying like this, I can't afford it. The subsidy will have to be discounted."

The master thief hurriedly cried out, "No! No!"

He chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Can't hold on any longer, huh? Out of gold coins, huh? That's exactly the result I wanted."

Li Hanqiang shook his head: "A discount is necessary. Here's the deal: from now on, I'll only subsidize you by 22%. You spend 100 gold coins, and I'll subsidize you with 22. Take it or leave it."

The master thief immediately started mentally calculating. The price of the potions in the mysterious shop was 120% of that in the system shop. Even if Li Hanqiang only gave a subsidy of 22%, he would still make a profit, just a little less.

"Okay, Qiang-ge, let's continue..."

And so, the master thief ran back and forth with great enthusiasm until the thirty middle-aged women couldn't take it anymore and logged off, thus ending his day's journey.

Having been offline for over ten hours straight, the master thief felt neither hunger nor fatigue. He counted the gold coins in his storage space; there were a full 260!

"We've hit the jackpot!"

The master thief, burning with excitement, timidly left the Chaos Temple and wandered around the city. He eventually spotted a player who bought gold coins and sold him 160 gold coins.

The player who bought the gold coins was a tycoon; he logged off and transferred 40,000 yuan to the bank account of the master thief!

Forty thousand yuan! The master thief was stunned. Earning forty thousand yuan in just over ten hours? This was incredible!

He's a rather unprofessional, amateur gamer. His skills are actually quite average. No guild or club will take him in. In the past, he could only work for gold farming studios or something similar, so his income was not guaranteed at all. He was lucky if he could earn four or five thousand yuan a month.

With the opening of the Endless World, he was lucky to have joined Zhen Deqiang's group.

But now, I've got 40,000 yuan, it feels like a dream.

Recalling the hardships of the past, the master thief couldn't help but cry.

"Tonight when I eat instant noodles, I'm going to add two sausages! Ugh, why bother with instant noodles? I'm going to eat hamburgers and fried chicken tonight!" The master thief thought to himself, then suddenly felt unbearably hungry and logged off.

Li Hanqiang's side finally quieted down.

The legendary thief and the big swindler earned him nearly 200 gold coins from selling the potions.

In addition to the 15 gold coins from the small money bag, the income from processing the garbage fish, the 20 bound gold coins from the rapid development gift pack, and the bound gold coins in the Chaos Treasury, Li Hanqiang now has a total of 262 gold and 45 silver.

He's currently facing a dilemma: should he save up 1000 gold coins to upgrade the Heart of Chaos, or buy defensive towers to strengthen his defenses?

After being harassed by the Divine Bandit and then suppressed by the Emperor Guild for fanning the flames, Li Hanqiang strongly felt that relying on adventurer players to defend the city was unreliable and too passive.

This is why he possesses the Flame Tower, the Beast Hunter, and the Mutant Sword Tower. If it were an ordinary person, a group of knight aunties would occupy all the Chaos Slabs, and they would definitely suffer a great loss.

Li Hanqiang didn't want to rely too much on adventurer players to defend the city. In his mind, strong defensive towers were the real strength. As the Lord of Chaos City, you had to build defensive towers. Those who relied on adventurer players to defend the city were second-rate lords.

Upgrading the Heart of Chaos will certainly have many benefits, but a thousand gold coins is not a small amount. Li Hanqiang felt that at this stage, all resources should be used to build defensive towers, rush to attack higher waves of monster sieges as soon as possible, and get the city defense rewards as soon as possible.

After thinking for a while, Li Hanqiang felt enlightened. Even if he did have a thousand gold coins, he would never upgrade the Heart of Chaos. Instead, he would buy ten basic arrow towers to play around with.

Of course, Li Hanqiang both loved and hated his [Tower Transformation] talent. This talent was too dependent on luck and was not stable at all. If he was unlucky, he would lose everything.

"Ding! You are now ready to start a new round of coin challenges!"

Suddenly, a system notification came through, and Li Hanqiang laughed, thinking to himself that it was finally his turn to perform again.

He put away his fishing rod, looked at his fish basket, and saw it was full of junk fish.

"Why bother fishing? Let's go do the gold coin challenge! The Beast Catcher has leveled up; he can definitely break the record."

Li Hanqiang left Bibo Lake full of anticipation, but before he even reached the Endless Tower, he received a series of system notifications: "Your ranking on the Gold Coin Challenge Leaderboard has dropped one place; you are currently ranked second."

"System notification: Your ranking on the Gold Coin Challenge leaderboard has dropped one place; you are currently ranked third!"

"System notification: Your ranking on the Gold Coin Challenge leaderboard has dropped one place..."

System notification: You have fallen off the Gold Coin Challenge leaderboard. Please try again!

"What's going on?" Li Hanqiang was stunned. He stood there thinking for several minutes before slapping his forehead and saying, "Someone's spent money on in-game purchases!"
