Chapter 97: New Parish

Luoye Tingqiu got his wish and received his own Helmet before the start of the new round of testing.

The Helmet looked unremarkable, with the library's emblem painted on the exterior; it was said to be the logo of the Tana City library, and this Helmet also belonged to a limited edition for the event.

With this paint job, the otherwise bulky-looking Helmet instantly became much cooler, and Luoye Tingqiu couldn't help but take a photo and post it to his social media.

The Helmet was a good Helmet—sturdy and durable, the workmanship was decent, the inside was soft, and it even had specialized ventilation holes.

One must know that Chen Zhi's peripheral team had done nothing else during this time besides conducting quantum reading on the game; they had been obsessing over the appearance of the Helmet.

However, he hadn't even had a chance to warm it up before it was taken away by his grandfather.

"I will translate for you again; I just want to see what this game is actually like. The library there should have more materials to consult," the old man muttered. "You register another account, and I'll translate two more books for you later."

Luoye Tingqiu just watched as his Helmet was taken away by his grandfather...

On the forum, those who had received their Helmets one after another were incredibly excited.

Those players who got their Helmets through translation were certainly happy, but the happiest ones were those chosen ones.

【Heard that the number of people drawing for Helmets this time has already reached ten thousand. Let me show you what a chosen one is.】 ——by: Bailu

This Helmet couldn't even fit in the parcel locker, so I had to go to the delivery station to pick it up myself. It was incredibly heavy. Unpacking it gave me a sense of security. Thinking that I would have to rely on this thing to sleep in the future, I checked it carefully. It seems to be made of latex inside; the quality is really good.

And there are stickers on the exterior, which seem to be for commemoration, and there is a serial number on it. I am number 236; maybe I was the 236th person to win it in the draw.

I don't know if there are any beginner guides or something. I see everyone discussing, but how do I level up after I go online? It seems no one has mentioned it.

You'eryuan: There is no such thing as leveling up in this game. At most, there is an awakening, but there is no leveling progress.

Feng Buxi: I can testify. After awakening, there are no buttons or anything to use skills; it's all based on instinct. You feel like you've used the skill when you've used it.

Yaohuanghuang to Feng Buxi: That's probably just you. People from the War Church will shout out their skills and then use them. So the method of using skills is different.

Feng Buxi to Yaohuanghuang: Why didn't you say so earlier? But maybe the Wealth Church is a magic-type, so there were no instructions?

Yunxiao: You don't need to worry about quests. In the game, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't break the laws of Tana City. Of course, I don't know what the laws of Tana City are right now either, but as long as you don't break them, it's fine.

Zhuguli: You can choose to apply to be a Warrior in the War Church, or you can go find Yunxiao to become a bar bouncer. But I see the officials are encouraging players to do business; it's possible they will provide some low-interest loans or certain startup projects for players.

Luoye Tingqiu: Am I the only one whose Helmet was taken away by my grandfather?

Shuruima Continent to Luoye Tingqiu: Hahahahahaha

Blue Entertainment to Luoye Tingqiu: Hahahahahaha

Huiwan Entertainment to Luoye Tingqiu: Our company's Helmet also arrived. More than 20 people in the whole company translated together, and now there is only one Helmet. The Helmet was taken away by the boss...

Luolita to Huiwan Entertainment: @Luoye Tingqiu Hahahahaha, told you to show off every day.

Xinruo Xiangyi to Luoye Tingqiu: No way, the mentor is here too?

Miaoshou: Ah this... are we really going to play games with the teacher...

The players were quite well-considered. Chen Zhi did indeed let Andrew make a lot of preparations, such as clearing out a large portion of the wasteland at the Nongzhuang, preparing to hand it over to the players to handle in the future.

Another example is buying up half a street of shops in the Factory District at a low price, preparing to leave them for players to start their own businesses.

However, these all counted as hidden quest options; he didn't know if the players would really like being life-skill players.

So he also prepared the Hunter activity.

Tana City was attacked by barbarians, and the biggest loss was the Hunters.

Qualified Hunters were either dead or injured. Only one of the several major Hunter markets remained, and it wasn't near the foot of the mountain, but inside a restaurant near the Factory District.

This was news that Andrew's subordinates had spent some time finding out. It was said that there were very few supplies inside; what could be used had long been bought up by the Wealth Church. Now, even if a Hunter caught suitable prey, there was no one to purchase it.

The Wealth Church could no longer control the Factory District.

This place already belonged to the management scope of the Wisdom Church. Just three days ago, the Wisdom Church announced it was officially taking over the entire Factory District.

"Feng Buer has completely left Tana City. He is no longer responsible for managing Tana City's affairs, but has gone to the Royal Capital to do basic work. I couldn't find out too much more. Although I am a Believer of the Wealth Church, in the Royal Capital, Believers of the Wealth Church have to look at the taxes they contribute..." Saina said with some helplessness. "Because of the special nature of Tana City, our taxes are not counted as individual contributions. But it won't be like that in the future. The headquarters of the Wealth Church in the Royal Capital has already promised Tana City that they recognize our autonomous status and allow us to circulate Xide, but it needs a transition period to avoid chaos."

"How to transition?" Chen Zhi asked calmly.

"Tana City will gradually cancel Tana Coin, and subsequent settlements will be carried out using Xide. But if someone uses Tana currency to trade within the city, there won't be any impact," Saina said.

What kind of impulsive decision was this!

Even if Chen Zhi didn't have any business sense, he knew that doing this would definitely cause problems.

At that time, there would definitely be people using Tana currency to settle wages; anyway, those ordinary people wouldn't know that the Tana currency had already been abandoned.

And those nobles, as well as their industries, would definitely not accept Tana Coin anymore.

By then, the poor would have worked for half a day and wouldn't even be able to buy a piece of bread, and the problem would arise from that.

No, with the Wisdom Church there, how could they not know about this problem?

They had already successfully taken over the entire Factory District; if things became chaotic, the one who would suffer in the end would be the Wisdom Church.

No wonder the Wealth Church would hand the Factory District over to the Wisdom Church; it really did have an ulterior motive.

"If I use Tana now, can I still buy Grain?" Chen Zhi continued to ask.

"If you need it, the Grain from my Nongzhuang can be provided to you for free. Currently, the Grain hoarded by the major nobles is already enough, and the consumption power in the city is not enough. Those poor people won't spend money to buy Grain. The nobles would rather let the Grain rot in the warehouse than distribute it to the poor, so..."
