Though it wasn’t a major loss in the grand sche of things, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
After all, those attribute points were from the Bloodthirsty Stacks he had built up by hacking away one slash at a ti. To earn them, he had spent a great deal of his personal free ti—ti that should have been for rest and recreation—controlling the Necromancer Champion in the territory of the Evil God Players.
If it were any other Lord Player, things would be different.
Their sources for attribute points were already extrely scarce.
They could only scrape together a few points from leveling up, Achievent Rewards, Event Rewards, or Secret Realm rewards.
At the current stage,
even the strongest group of Reincarnated Players
had only just reached the Zero-star (Gold) level with All Attributes over 150 points.
If a Lust Player were to drain them, taking even 20% of their maximum power and causing them to lose over 30 points in All Attributes,
they would probably have a complete ltdown on the spot.
’Just as I thought!’
’I can’t let these Evil God Players just develop freely!’
’The mont I find them, I have to hunt them down and wipe them all out!’
’And it’s not just their Lord’s Halls, which are the core buildings of their territories. Their actual hero bodies have to be completely eliminated too!’
’Otherwise!’
’Even without the unit recruitnt function of their Lord’s Halls!’
’These Evil God Players can still roam between the Lord World and the Real World as Evil God Heroes!’
’Causing trouble everywhere...’
With this in mind, Qin Feng summoned Mumu—who had already sworn fealty to him and beco a subject of his Holy Empire of Shurima—and asked her to accompany him to the Evil God’s hideout to deal with the last remaining Lust Player.
Originally, Qin Feng had planned to have the Valkyrie, who had beco an Extraordinary-Level boss, accompany him.
But on second thought,
he abandoned that plan.
First, the Valkyrie had led the main army to the Death Zone in the Northern Elf Kingdom two days ago. The distance between them was now vast, and it would be too ti-consuming to have her turn back.
Second, as a Lord Player who had reached the Extraordinary Level ahead of schedule, Qin Feng had always been quite curious about Mumu’s true strength. He wanted to take this opportunity to witness her combat abilities firsthand.
"So?"
"My dear Emperor?"
"Did you sneak off behind my back—and my cousin’s—to attack a bunch of Evil God Players’ Lord’s Halls, only to end up not winning?"
Qin Feng coughed twice to hide his embarrassnt.
"*Cough, cough.*"
"That’s not what happened."
"It was a Native Power that swore allegiance to ."
"While they were grinding mobs to level up in the Death Zone, they happened to find the hidden territory of those Evil God Players."
"They were worried the enemy would take the chance to flee and relocate,"
"so they attacked imdiately."
By this ti, Mumu had been staying in Qin Feng’s main city for two days and nights. Having heard about Arthas from the Northern Elf Kingdom from so of the Native Creatures, she blurted out,
"Are you talking about that group of Undead Creatures commanded by Arthas?"
Qin Feng nodded.
"Yes."
"There’s a Lust School player in their main camp who has reached the Extraordinary Level."
"She specializes in Control Magic that can hard-control enemies."
"And she captured Arthas."
"I don’t have any Special Skills that can dispel or purify debuffs, nor do I have any special units with those types of skills."
"That’s why we need two Extraordinary Level combatants to go together to rescue Arthas."
"You get it, right...?"
Su Mumu gave him a half-smile.
"Fine."
"I’ll go."
"But it’ll cost you extra."
Qin Feng had long since figured out Su Mumu’s personality.
He knew that this girl treated business as her second life, basing everything on "transactions" and "profit."
But occasionally, she would also set aside her principles as a rchant to help those around her without asking for anything in return.
So, he didn’t bother wasting words with Mumu and asked directly,
"What kind of paynt do you want this ti?"
Su Mumu spoke rapidly,
"I want to establish an independent comrce association within your territory."
"I’ll be its president."
"Once we’ve suppressed all three ’Death Zones’ in the Northern Forest,"
"we’ll open up trade routes with the Minotaur Kingdom, the Gulad Empire, the Kingdom of Ventecenia, and various other smaller national powers."
"Most importantly, we’ll establish a trade relationship with the great Violet Comrce Association."
"At that point, all comrcial dealings between any mber of your territory and outside powers will be handled and monopolized by my independent comrce association."
"Of course,"
"the terms of compensation and shipping prices I set will be absolutely fair and just."
"It won’t negatively affect your territory’s finances."
"Moreover,"
"I’m not asking for this monopoly for free."
"I will take a portion of the trade revenue from all comrcial activities as tax to be paid to the Holy Empire."
"It will fill your national and personal treasuries."
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"Huh?"
"You want Gold Coins?"
"If that’s the case, I can just give them to you. I’m not short on those anymore!"
Su Mumu shook her head.
"No."
"re gold is useless to ."
"What I want are the various tangible benefits gained from ’fair trade’ in normal comrcial activities."
"It’s linked to a certain King of Territory Talent that I retained from before my Rebirth."
"I don’t need to spell out the rest, do I...?"
’Oh, so that’s how it is. No wonder Mumu always acts so money-grubbing. It’s because her Awakened Talent forces her to constantly maintain the state of a ’rchant,’ isn’t it?’
"Alright."
"No problem."
Hearing this, a faint, playful smile spread across Su Mumu’s face as she said,
"Deal!"
