The city lord did not answer, but glanced at the weapon on Wang Li's waist.
Wang Li suddenly realized.
Turns out it was the fashion.
According to the nature of fashion, everyone within the jurisdiction is a citizen.
As the city lord's guild, the Tianlong Sect manages the central administrative area of Green City.
Therefore, even a high-level NPC like the city lord must be a subject of Wang Li.
The title of Wang Li Wang is naturally the title brought by this fashion.
"Huh, I can't tell...it has this effect."
Wang Li couldn't help but feel happy.
This is an unexpected gain.
You know, the city lord is the biggest official in Green City, and no matter how awesome the Tianlong Sect is in front of the city lord, he is still a wage earner.
Now the city lord respects him so much that he feels like the Dragon King has returned and made the boss kneel down and call daddy with a twist of his mouth.
"Why did you call me here?"
Wang Li asked curiously.
"Of course, I invite you to take over the work. From now on, you are the master of this city." The city lord said very respectfully.
"Oh... I see, you are going to resign." Wang Li understood.
Logically speaking, the city lord should have taken the initiative to visit Wang Li, but the city lord had regulations not to leave the city lord's mansion, so he specially asked Wang Li to inspect the work and asked Wang Li to take over Green City.
"It's okay for me to be the city lord."
Wang Li then asked: "What's the benefit?"
"this……"
Hearing Wang Li's words, the city lord was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Wang Li said: "What I mean is, why should I be the lord of this city for no reason?"
"..."
When the city lord heard this, he immediately shut down his machine.
Why should I be the city lord for no reason? These words really confused the city lord.
Not to mention that artificial intelligence is just a set of programs. Even real humans can't react when they hear this.
It's like the author said there are ten updates today, and a reader directly asks: "You actually let me read so many, what benefits do you give me?"
Cause and effect and logic are completely out of whack.
"Why……"
Wang Li saw that the city lord couldn't explain anything, so he continued: "Then let me be blunt, as the city lord, do I have any privileges?"
"You can use Green City's tax revenue as you wish," the city lord said.
"Really?" Wang Li was overjoyed.
Good guy, no matter how small Green City is, there are still hundreds of thousands of people. Although the taxes are not paid directly by the players, they come from various function stores and NPCs. With the spending power of hundreds of thousands of people, each person averages at least one gold coin per day in taxes.
That means 200,000 gold coins must be deposited into the account a day.
This is a stable wealth income.
"Of course! You are the king and the master of this city." The city lord said.
"impossible!!"
Wang Li narrowed his eyes and said directly: "My teacher Altai tells me every day that there is no free lunch, dinner and midnight snacks in the world. Suddenly giving me so many benefits makes me feel a little uneasy."
Wang Li has also heard a little bit about the virtues of Penguin Company. The purpose of this century-old company is to create happiness with salary, and to play without money.
All games produced by Penguin have always adhered to the concept of making all players empty their wallets.
Even every NPC is programmed to be greedy for money, and is constantly searching for players' money.
If he suddenly gave himself such a big benefit at this time, there might be some trap behind it.
"hehe."
The city lord chuckled and said: "Of course, as the city lord, you also have your own responsibilities, which is to build the city wall so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and to recruit soldiers to resist various invasions."
"Where did the money come from to do this?"
"Taxation..." City Lord Green said with a smile.
"Cio!"
Wang Li couldn't help but cursed when he heard this: "I knew that the penguin in the dog's day would not let the players take advantage."
Where is Green City? Frontline Fortress...
This is where the most fighting happens.
Building a city wall and recruiting soldiers is definitely a big expense, and it is much more than the expense of other major cities. The so-called arbitrary use of tax revenue is nothing more than taking it from the people and using it for the people, and if there are continuous wars, this will Even a little tax is probably not enough.
not enough.
Thinking of this, Wang Li said with a dark face: "What should we do if the tax revenue is not enough?"
"You have to ask the city lord about this..." the city lord smiled lightly.
"Nima! He is waiting for me here, why didn't you tell me!"
Wang Li was speechless, it was so dangerous, he was almost cheated.
The meaning of the city lord's words is obviously Wang Li: "If you don't have money, you can be the city lord and find a way..."
Where can players go when they run out of things like taxes? In the end, you don’t have to pay out of pocket.
"You only asked about the benefits, not the responsibilities." The city lord was very innocent.
Wang Li's head is full of black lines.
This is the despicable part of Gou Yue's plan. Fortunately, he was smart and asked casually, otherwise he would have been tricked.
"Can I not be the city lord?" Wang Li asked again.
"no!"
The city lord said: "Since you have been certified by the system as the lord of the three realms, we, as your subjects, must obey you. You must be the lord of this city."
"But I don't know how to manage the main city." Wang Li was helpless.
Wang Li can't even manage himself well. Why do you always want to let him conquer the world in this game? Isn't this just trying to catch up?
"It doesn't matter, I can!" the city lord said with a smile.
"Oh? You mean you can be the acting city lord for me?" Wang Li was delighted when he heard this.
"That's right."
The city lord nodded and said: "But you have to pay your subordinates a salary every month..."
"I@#￥%!" Wang Li spat out a mess of words.
This is outrageous. He completed the task and received no substantial benefits, but only gained the false reputation of a city lord.
The most damning thing is that this city lord has not changed anything.
The original city lord is still the city lord, but there is an additional victim who pays him wages.
After all the calculations, only Wang Li was the one who suffered.
"What if I don't give you a salary?" Wang Li said.
"Then my subordinates can't help you manage the main city."
"What if the main city is in deficit?" Wang Li asked again.
"The front line collapsed, the people were displaced... this city will disappear..." the city owner said.
"Oh, that's how it is."
Wang Li thought for a moment and said, "That doesn't have any impact on me."
"Those are your people." The city lord was shocked when he heard this.
"There is no way, I can't even protect myself, and of course I can't protect them..." Having said this, Wang Li turned around and said: "From now on, you will be the acting city lord, and you will pay me a salary every month. , so that I can stay here to protect you."
"What do you mean?"
The city lord was confused again, and a chill rose behind his back.
"Literally."
Wang Li said very calmly: "I am just a humble citizen, and I have no desire to conquer the world. You have found the wrong person to make me the city lord. Although I also care about the life and death of Green City, I care more about whether I have suffered a loss. Yours clear?"
