Stop, I'm about to become a boss!

Chapter 117 I have never seen such a reasonable request
For players, the use of skill books is very simple.

With a ding, he gained an extra skill.

However, what turned into starlight drifted away, and the gold coins that he had saved for an unknown amount of time.

A skill book can only be used once, which is something even magic apprentices know.

But Linton never expected that [God's Hand] could do such an operation.

Should it be said that it is the ability possessed by the gods?
Even if there is only residual power, it can still perform operations that change people's cognition.

Originally, Linton bought the skill book in order to attract players by selling it at a loss.

When the number of players increases, he can use other means to earn back this part of the loss.

But now, it seems that there is no need?

Just like private transportation does not make money with public transportation, if [God's Hand] can make the skill book that was originally a consumable be used by others one more time, as long as the learning price is higher than 50.00% of the cost price, it will be profitable no matter what Bar?
Slowly breathing a sigh of relief, Linton was already somewhat looking forward to the appearance of [God's Hand] reaching a higher level.

But before that, he had to finish what he needed to do now.

Linton looked at Li Wen: "Sir, can I ask you something?"

Li Wen naturally had no reason to refuse the request of this big client who had just completed business, so he readily responded: "Just say it, as long as it is within the scope of my ability, I will do my best. You serve."

Linton nodded slightly: "I ask you to make an appointment with a gentleman for me. His name is Ralph Barron."

Li Wen was taken aback.

As a well-known neutral force on the mainland, people often ask the Odd Goods Chamber of Commerce to act as an intermediary to meet a certain gentleman. Linton's request is not special, and it is not even troublesome.

But what caught Li Wen's attention was the person's name he mentioned.

"Is this gentleman you speak of a blacksmith?"

"Yes."

After receiving an affirmative reply, Li Wen had a vague premonition in his heart.

Blacksmith Baron is the second most famous blacksmith in Toulon City. He currently plays for Toulon City, and Toulon City is a city-state that has won three consecutive [Glorious Gladiator] champions.Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Baron is the second-ranked blacksmith in forging technology in the entire Molten Kingdom.

But since there is a ranking, it means that there is a dispute.

For any ambitious person, it is impossible to submit to others all the year round and enjoy the label of the second child of ten thousand years, let alone in this introverted country that wants to break through and improve himself all the time?
According to information obtained by Li Wen, this Mr. Barron seems to be a little bit out of control recently.

He seemed to think that as long as he was in Toulon for a day, he would never be able to rise above the shadows, no matter how good the quality of the weapon and how powerful the characteristics of the weapon he made.

Because the entire city of Toulon has long been number one, just like people can never forget their first love, no matter how good you are, no matter how attractive you are, it is impossible to compare with the untouchable white moonlight.

After all, what is not available is the best.

Therefore, the blacksmith Barron is ready to leave his home team and enter the transfer market.

Li Wen secretly thought in his heart, is this gentleman also planning to pursue the second blacksmith to join?

To be honest, he didn't have much hope for Linton's move.

After hearing the news that the blacksmith Baron was leaving Toulon, the other four city-states offered him an unimaginably rich price at almost the same time. The city of Lapa is now entering the market.
What do you want in Lapa City? Why do people come to you?
Do you farm?
But even so, Li Wen still agreed with a smile on his face.

"No problem, but whether Mr. Barron agrees to meet you depends on his own intentions. I don't guarantee that he will meet you at all."

Linton nodded: "If he refuses, you can tell him."

"You are always welcome in Lapa City."

"—including your family."

After leaving the Odd Goods Chamber of Commerce, Sargerus almost lost the light in her eyes, and kept muttering a few repeated words in her mouth.

"Tens of millions, tens of millions of gold coins, just spent like this."

She had never succeeded in owning so many gold coins in her life, and she had to pay for a broom. As a result, Linton didn't even bat an eye when he threw out such an amount of money.

This extravagant behavior had an incomprehensible impact on her barren world.

Linton turned his head to look at her, and explained: "This is a necessary upfront investment, don't worry, it will be doubled in the future."

Sargerus shook her head: "I have no right to interfere with your choice, I'm just curious why you did this."

Linton considered for a moment and said, "In order to enhance the attractiveness of Lapa City."

"You should know that the competition of Glorious Gladiator is not just about personal strength. Behind every contestant, there needs to be an entire city-state as logistics."

"If the equipment is broken, it is impossible for people to go to other city-states to repair it? If you are strong enough to learn new spells, it is impossible to learn from others, right?"

"So the glorious gladiator has never been a 1v1 fair duel, but a moment for all city-states to show their skills."

"However, now Lapa City is not attractive to other valuable people at all, so we can only start in other areas."

"For example, use cheaper learning costs than those on the market to attract some less wealthy people to come to us."

Sargerus blinked: "But, what if these people run away after learning? Then aren't we a blood loss?"

If people don't step on the trap after eating cheese, they can't force him to stay. Even she can calculate that this is a bloody business.

Linton smiled: "Whether people stay or not depends on our follow-up operations, but we will definitely not lose money."

He handed the traited [Starfall Grace] to Sargerus.

"You can try to learn it once."

Sargerus waved her hands again and again: "This is very expensive. It will be gone when you use it up. It can't be wasted. You should keep it well."

"It's okay." Linton persuaded, "It won't disappear. At least it will only be used once."

Sargerus was slightly taken aback, but still did not answer: "I believe what you said, but why did you say that the magic scroll will not disappear after being used."

"Well," Linton said, "you can understand it as the power bestowed by the gods."

For the sake of explaining this, Sargerous also understood.

If it is the power of the gods, it is reasonable.

God is an existence that mortals can't understand, let alone let a small magic scroll not disappear after being used up, they might be able to bring back the dead.

just
Isn't the power bestowed by Allah generally a peep into the future?

What kind of ability is this?
Sargerus didn't know, and could only understand it as "people's constitutions are very different."

After all, the man in front of him is the incarnation of the power of the gods, so it's normal to be special.

Immediately, she asked: "Sir, do you want to go shopping?"

Linton glanced at his side for a long time without making a sound, and silently followed behind them as a little transparent lady knight without interrupting.

"Let's go to the arena."

In the Molten Kingdom, the landmark buildings of almost every city-state undoubtedly belonged to the arena.

Even the dilapidated city of Lapa is no exception.

The Lapa City Arena is an open-air circular building like a modern stadium. Its appearance is somewhat mottled, but the magic runes on it are still shining, indicating that it is often maintained by people.

Right above the entrance stood a statue similar to the statue of Lord of Flowers that Linton had seen.

He still couldn't see his face clearly, but his hands were behind his back, his head was slightly lowered, as if he was looking down at the people who were about to enter.

"Why is the statue here so indifferent?" Linton frowned slightly.

The statue of the Lord of Flowers once opened his hands, while the statue of Allah hugged himself.

The situation of the two is different, but relatively speaking, they are relatively peaceful, never giving Linton such a feeling.

He's starting to hate gods a little bit.

"It is said that this idol is a picture recorded during the first glorious gladiatorial fight." Sargerus said softly.

It can be seen that she also does not like this god.

But as soon as the words were out of her mouth, she suddenly looked at Linton suspiciously: "Aren't there all the information about the gods in the scriptures? You don't know these things?"

Linton's eyes suddenly wandered.

It wasn't him who joined the Truth Society, and the former necromancer didn't join the Truth Society because he was really interested in this thing. The devil studies the scriptures of Lao Shizi, right?

But before he could find a reason to perfunctory, Sargerus seemed to find an explanation for herself suddenly.

"That's right, you are the embodiment of the power of the gods, so naturally you don't need to know what we sang about you."

"...Actually, I really want to know." Linton said tactfully.

In the past, he always wanted to break away from the Truth Society, so he never really understood the various regulations of the Truth Society.

But now because of Miss Fairy, he is almost deeply bound to the Truth Society, and it is impossible to break away.

So in order not to show his flaws, he needs to understand at least some basic things.

Sargerus didn't doubt Linton, after all, the agent is a human agent after all.

And as long as you are human, there is no one who doesn't like to hear good things.

"No problem, I'll talk to you when I get back."

Linton nodded.

Afterwards, the group of them stopped talking too much and walked into the arena.

The arena in Lapa City is even deserted than the streets outside the city.

Among other things, it can be seen from the list that the top 100 in the lobby has not been filled.

Linton no longer even had the desire to sigh in his heart how bad it was. He walked to the counter and tapped on the table lightly to wake up the drowsy administrator.

The administrator rubbed his eyes, and was about to mutter a few words about who is here again, but when he saw the blood-red city lord behind him, the sleepy man was immediately scared to the next city.

"Big, my lord, what's the matter?"

"Help us with the certification procedures."

"Good good!"

The administrator hurriedly got up and started looking for tools for authentication.

Maybe it was useless for too long, so he couldn't find where to put it for a while, and made Linton wait for a long time before reappearing.

The administrator placed a piece of parchment with a form and a round stone in front of Linton.

"Please fill in your information here, and then inject magic power into the stone. After that, you can participate in the duel in this arena and compete with the people on the leaderboard. Once you defeat your opponent, you will occupy his seat."

"Before the start of the Glorious Gladiator, the top [-] people will be eligible to represent the city to participate in the Glorious Gladiator"

Linton glanced at the leaderboard, and then at the administrator.

it is more than words.

"One more form." Linton turned around and waved to Miss Knight, "Iris."

Iris, who finally recovered from the disconnected and reconnected state, hurried forward and took the parchment.

There is not much information that needs to be filled in, only the name and contact information, and even the name can be omitted, and a code name can be directly selected as a title.

Linton looked at the parchment, lost in thought.

Do you want to write your name?
Once he participates in the glorious gladiatorial battle, his name will appear on the same leaderboard as the players at the same time.

But how could players and NPCs appear together?

Shaking his head, for the sake of safety, Linton gave up the idea of ​​a real name.

How to choose a code name?
little black?

Master, Commander, and Deck Cleaner?

Wolves and undead and fading people?
After thinking for a long time, Linton decided to combine all the characteristics of the above three.

"."

The administrator looked at the "???" on the form that was pushed over, and was somewhat at a loss for what to say for a while.

Although there were not many people in Lapa City, it was the first time he had seen such a strange code name after working here for so long.

What do you let others call you?
Mr. Three Question Marks?

question mark question mark question mark?

After a pause, the administrator persuaded: "Sir, symbols cannot be used as code names."

Linton looked back at Sargerus: "Is there a rule that symbols cannot be used as code names?"

Sargerus lay on the counter, smiling kindly: "Are there any rules?"

The administrator said righteously: "Your request is very reasonable! I have never seen such an excellent and meaningful code name!"

"."

"Then is it enough to input the magic power into it?" Iris asked after filling out the form in the last step, pointing at the stone.

Received the administrator's nod, Miss Knight covered the stone with her hands, her body shimmering, and then...
Stone didn't respond.

The three of Linton looked at the administrator.

The manager was also dumbfounded.

He picked up the stone and studied it carefully, completely wondering why there was no response.

Could it be that it has not been used for too long and is rusted?
Suddenly, Linton seemed to realize something: "Give it to me."

The administrator handed him the stone as promised.

Linton stared at the stone and slowly injected magic power.

Immediately, black dots of light representing his power attributes lit up on the stone, and then, the parchment placed on the table quietly started to burn with white flames, and then intertwined with the black dots to form a Gene spiral beams of light rushed towards the leaderboard above the hall.

The next moment, three question marks appeared at the very end of the leaderboard.

At this time, Iris seemed to understand the reason.

She...is no longer an independent individual.
