Chapter 154: The whereabouts of the Crimson Messenger's

is only 10 seconds, while Earthquake's is 15 seconds, Soul Strike's damage output is obviously greater than Earthquake's.This is understandable, after all, a large earthquake strike is an AoE skill.Ap..."May I see the Lord Mayor"

Even before, meeting someone like Locke required a mark from the Pale Congregation. To meet the Lord Mayor, the requirements must be even higher, right

Luoko thought for a moment, then said: "I'll write you an introduction letter. You go to the Governing Hall and give it to the guard. They will take you to see the lord."

If it were an ordinary person, Locke wouldn't do that.

But even at the first tier of Lu Kong, he was already an epic-class occupation with immense potential. Coupled with his high prestige in Dahu City, Luo Ke treated him differently.

Lu Kong smiled with some surprise: "Then many thanks to Lord Locke."

Locke waved his hand and quickly scribbled a brief introduction letter, handing it to Lu Kong.

"Go, the Lord Mayor is in the Council Hall."

Lu Kong nodded, turned around and was about to leave, just then, Lu Kong thought of something else.

He asked, "By the way, where should I buy property"

He was also thinking about buying a property.

"You can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, it's right next to the Hall of Political Affairs." Locke patiently said.

Lu Kong was finally satisfied and bade farewell to Locke, leaving his office.

Just like the Hall of Governance, the Hall of Guardians is also located in the central area, only a few hundred meters apart.

Adjacent to the Hall of Mandate is the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Lu Kong thought about it and decided to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to see the house first.

The Civil Affairs Hall, as an ordinary institution in Dahu City, has no guards.

Everyone is welcome to enter and exit.

Lukong saw many indigenous people coming in and out of the gate.

He followed and walked inside.

Behind the main gate is a huge hall. On one side of the corridor, there is a sign listing various business service areas.

These businesses include renting, buying houses, handling documents, finding jobs, and recruiting.

All kinds of businesses, including air and land transportation, even saw the strange business of recruiting male and female servants.

But on second thought, Dawu City is not Yu Xing after all. Yu Xing basically has no maidservants now.

But even in Da Wu City, having a male or female servant is normal, even among nobles.

Lu Kong was actually a little curious about the maids in Dahu City.

If you could find a maid to clean the house, it wouldn't be bad either.

But that's something we can talk about after we find a house.

Besides these, finding a job and renting a storefront made Lu Kong think of something else.

Maybe I could consider opening a shop myself

Before, Lu Kong's transactions were all with Liu Qiang and three others.

That's because YinYue Village was very small, and only they three had the ability.

Now that he's no longer in the Novice Village, this means that at least within Daxia, many powerful individuals can trade with him. The entire Yuanxing could be even more extensive!

Maybe it would be more convenient to trade if you opened your own store

However, Lu Kong only has this one idea, and the specifics will have to wait until later.

Now, he's the only player left in the entire Dazhi City. What use is there to think about that

Land and air went directly towards the area of renting and buying houses.

The area for renting and buying houses is on the second floor of Dazhucheng.

There are several counters for handling business.

The waiting area has many indigenous people sitting and waiting.

It looks like there's a queue.

However, the staff in the game were very efficient and soon it was Lu Kong's turn.

"Lu Kong came to the counter. The staff member behind the counter saw Lu Kong and was a little surprised: "Hello, you are the first player, Mr. Lu Kong, aren't you"

Li Kong smiled and nodded. "Yes, I'd like to find a place to live."

The staff immediately opened the panel: “Here is a list of all available houses in Dashi City. Are you planning to buy or rent The prices are listed above, please take a look.”

Lukong carefully examined the panel.

It has to be said, this game is really high-end. When you click on a house in the list, it's like you can see the whole room.

The price is also directly indicated below.

Prices vary depending on the region.

In the commercial district and central district, house prices are the highest. A 100-square-meter apartment can cost at least 100 gold coins per year to rent.

This house is rented on an annual basis.

If you were to buy it, the price would be tens of thousands.

As you can imagine, the housing prices in this area are astronomical.

"Staff also introduced during the house viewing, "These are the best houses in the civilian stage. If you like any, please tell me directly."

Land and Sky raised an eyebrow at this, sounding somewhat doubtful. "The best house for commoners Aren't there different houses for nobles"

The staff member nodded. “Yes, sir. Nobles can purchase villas. The higher-ranking the noble, the larger the area of the house they can purchase. High-ranking nobles can purchase estates in Wudang City.”

Lu Kong gasped in shock.

So class division exists everywhere, right

Even buying a house is stratified by class

However, Lu Kong thought about it and realized that ordinary people probably wouldn't be able to afford mansions or the like.

With prices this high, how can ordinary people afford to buy anything

Lu Kong also doesn't feel like he needs to buy a particularly good house.

He just wants a place to call home.

He said, "Just this one set."

The suite that Lu Kong is referring to is a 150-square-meter apartment located in the residential area near the Hall of Supreme Authority. This way, no matter if Lu Kong needs to see Luo Ke or the military supply officer, it will be more convenient for him.

Of course, the price of this house is also very expensive.

One year's rent costs two hundred gold coins.

In reality, a year's rent would cost two million!

This is outrageous.

"Let's rent for a year first." Lu Kong didn't intend to buy.

After all, he certainly couldn't stay in Dawu City forever.

Dazhugcheng is just a regional city, there are even bigger cities above it.

One year's lease should be enough.

"No problem!"

Lu Kong paid the money, and the staff member gave him the key directly.

She said, "After you own your own house, you can set the destination coordinates of the Return Scroll directly to your room. That way it will be even more convenient."

Lu Kong was taken aback, then smiled.

What other benefits are there

That's not bad, after I finish slaying monsters, I can come back here to rest directly.

After renting the house, Lu Kong went to look at the notice recruiting a maid again.

He found that the price of hiring a maid varied depending on factors like race, attributes, and appearance.

A typical maid is sturdy, built more like a woman of the working class than him. She's just an ordinary person and costs 3 gold coins per month.

The more attractive the maid, the higher the price, and there are even indigenous extraordinary beings, which is similar to a player's profession.

At that price, the monthly hiring fee would be several hundred gold coins.

Lu Kong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to hire.

After all, he spends most of his time leveling up and fighting monsters outside. To be honest, he probably doesn't spend much time in the room at all.

It doesn't seem too necessary to hire a maid.

If it's cheap, I could hire one, but cheap ones look a bit off-putting. The good-looking ones are too expensive; there's no need to spend that much money.

Let's talk about it later.

After finishing the house matters, Lu Kong entered the Hall of Governance.

After Lu Kok's letter of introduction was given to the guard, the guard immediately took Lu Kong and entered the inner hall.

The Hall of Governing has five floors.

The city lord is in his office on the top floor.

When Lu Kong entered the office and saw the City Lord, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The mayor is actually a woman!

And she was still a very beautiful woman.

This female ruler is unlike both the Yuanxing humans and the YinYue humans. She has a silver horn growing on her forehead, silver hair, and golden vertical eyes.

She was wearing a white robe, sitting there quietly, looking cold and mature.

The female city lord glanced at Lu Kong, her expression calm: "You are Lu Kong There have been quite a few system announcements about you recently. I didn't expect that such a small place as the Hunter constellation would actually have a genius like you. It's really rare... I am Yin Yuehan, the city lord of Dawu City."

Lu Kong smiled faintly: "Lord City Master, you flatter me."

Yinyuehan glanced at the letter of introduction in her hand and asked, "Your profession is a Crimson Envoy"

Lu Kong nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I wonder if the City Lord knows where to find a profession mentor for Crimson Messengers"

Silver Moon hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "I do know someone, but... his temper is not good, he may not be willing to teach you."

Lu Kong's eyes lit up.

It doesn't matter if you have a bad temper, as long as it works!

Lu Kong hurriedly said, "I can give it a try!"

Yin Yuehan saw Lu Kong's resolute expression and said, "Since you insist, very well. He is in seclusion in Yuexi Town to the east of Dawu City. You can look for a man called Blood Hand there."

"Alright, thank you, Lord Mayor!"

Yin Yuehan glanced at Lu Kong and said, "By the way, your strength is not bad. I have a mission here for you. Would you like to take it"several players had been killed by him.But the good thing is that it's in the game.Even if the player dies, they can be resurrected.Liu Yuexin and the others came to their senses and walked towards Lu...
