Chapter 660: The Bottom of Society

"Everyone, follow me!"

I mobilized the Fire Qilin and held the Big Dipper Sword. I opened the big map and saw that a dense line in the distance was the reinforcement route for God's Promise players. So I pulled the reins and activated the Fire Qilin to charge with more than a hundred elite players from Beichen. Entering the maple leaf forest, he threw the Flame Rat and others far away, and then rushed out from the other end of the maple leaf forest. His sword pointed directly at the middle section of the opponent's reinforcement team and said: "Kill them as quickly as possible!"

The sound of horse hooves shook the earth, and it felt like the whole maple forest was shaking.

A group of cavalry combat players, with the increased skills of the famous cavalry combat generals, felt like they were in an uninhabited land. They swept directly over and killed dozens of spiritualists, archers, wandering fairy doctors, etc., while the other party reinforced them. Before arriving, we had already moved quickly and rushed into a bush. Two minutes later, we emerged from the west side of the bush and killed all the incompetent team of about fifty people.

Under the swords of Beichen's elite cavalry, almost no one can stop him!

In this way, killing all the way and picking up the equipment is not much different from killing monsters. However, everyone's tacit understanding has increased little by little. Every time I call the flying geese formation to attack, multiple cavalry assault formations are immediately formed. , with my position as the leader, the goose attacks forward, and the people appointed by God cannot stop it at all.

…

Half an hour later, we could no longer find anyone to kill. Under Shen Qiubai's order, the people who had been appointed by God returned to the city one after another, feeling very helpless. And not long after, a bell echoed over Bailu City——

"Ding!"

System Announcement (player Young Master in White shouts): Beichen, we have recorded this account today. Isn’t it because we have awakened a powerful general in cavalry warfare? Just wait, God will awaken at least three two-star general skills within a week, and then you will have something interesting to watch!

Shen Qiubai said harsh words again...

…

Back to Bailu City, I told everyone to form teams and go leveling up.

I walked around the stalls for a while, and as I was walking, a familiar figure came over, it was the beautiful leader of the Scarlet Moon Knights.

"Master Xi, what a coincidence!"

"It's a coincidence indeed. Are you going back to the city to replenish supplies?"

"Um."

While she was buying the potion, she looked at me with beautiful eyes and said, "Hmph, Master Xi, you have done a good job!"

I was confused: "What's wrong with me..."

"Beichen defeated Shen Yue badly today, do you think about the consequences?"

"have no idea……"

She snorted softly and said quietly: "You Beichen, with only two hundred cavalry combat systems, defeated more than a thousand of the most elite cavalry combat systems in Shenyue. What did you rely on? The biggest factor is Tian Wuhui's strength in cavalry combat." The skills of famous generals, the skills of one-star generals are so strong. Needless to say, the skills of two-star and three-star generals are really killing you today, but the most direct manifestation is to prove how invincible the skills of famous generals are. In this way, the most direct result is The consequence is that... the general soul will become more expensive in the future, and may even double. "

I thought for a while: "Feiyue, what you said makes sense, but what does it matter? Anyway, we might have to sell our general souls ourselves. It's a good thing to make it more expensive!"

She glanced at me with a resentful look: "You said it nicely, do you think everyone has such abnormal PVE strength? Just like me, I am just a weak little mage. Do you think I can single-handedly defeat a ghost-level boss or even a saint?" A boss? How can we, the people at the bottom of the virtual society, live in the future..."

I glanced at her and said, "Put me down, you are at the bottom, you are like a wealthy family..."

Feiyue smiled, looked at me with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "I want to ask you a private matter, can you come back to me?"

"ask."

"Tang Yun killed a holy boss in Famous General Mountain, and must have obtained a three-star general soul. Is this three-star general soul a female general soul or a male general soul? Did you use it, or did Tang Yun use it?"

"I've embedded the soul of a male general," I said.

"Oh~~~"

She raised her eyebrows leisurely and said with a smile: "Huh, once Master Xi awakens his soul, the famous general skills he has mastered will probably explode, right? Think about it, it's really scary..."

"Sooner or later you will awaken the three-star general soul." I said.

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Because you are Feiyue." I smiled.

"You are really popular with girls~~~" She looked at me faintly: "No wonder goddess-level girls with superior conditions like Su Xiran and Tang Yun like you. Not only is Master Xi's PVE power unrivaled in White Deer City, but his ability to tease girls is also It is also unique in the world.”

"Don't say that, did I flirt with you..." I was speechless.

"I feel bad when you say that. I have to kill ten thousand monsters to vent my frustration. Bye, Master Xi. I have three-star and two-star female general souls and have dispatched them all. Please remember to keep them for me later. ”

"Okay, let's go."

…

After watching Fei Yue go away, it’s time for me to take on quests and kill monsters. The two famous general skills of Tian Wuhui and Youyouyou are broken through and awakened by taking on quests and killing monsters. My general soul should also be awakened. It’s nothing more than these factors. Since you have no clue, just level up and kill monsters as usual.

Well, I haven't been to Xingqi City for a long time. Let's go and have a look.

"Brush~~~"

After teleporting to Xingqi City, the Fire Qilin let out a long hiss and rushed up to Qingluan Peak within five minutes. The dragon cavalry formation and Dragon Domain warriors stationed here were all normal. After greeting each other like leaders, they returned to Xingqi City. , entered the palace, and went to find the beautiful senior sister to take over the task!

In the main hall, there was an endless quarrel.

Mingyuechi was dressed in military armor, stunningly beautiful, standing on the glazed ground like a fairy. She looked at Queen Lu Ning with a pair of beautiful eyes and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Dragon Territory suffered serious damage after resisting the attack of the Northern Territory Purgatory Legion last time. , hundreds of heavy artillery were destroyed, and the inventory of artillery shells was less than 10%. In addition, bows, arrows, swords, etc. were broken, and they all needed to be resupplied. Obviously, the speed of the craftsmen in Dragon City was far from enough to support these hundreds of thousands. scale of war."

"I understand, please forgive me, Master Yuechi."

Lu Ning looked at one of His Highness's ministers and said: "The Ministry of Industry, casting bows and arrows and manufacturing cannonballs is your business. The 10,000 cannonballs, 500,000 arrows, and 10,000 steel rods needed by Dragon Domain are When can you cast the spears and fifty thousand steel swords?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly knelt down and said: "Such a huge consumption, I am afraid it will take at least three months to make it. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Moreover, even if the craftsmen are sufficient, our Ministry of Industry will receive the allocation of gold coins from the treasury in the second half of the year." It’s not enough to support the consumption of these raw materials and craftsmen!”

Lu Ning frowned: "What's going on? Every year the state treasury allocates so much money to you, where do you use it?!"

"Your Majesty is clear!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Works kowtowed repeatedly: "In the first half of this year, the Ministry of Works cast many chariots, and almost half of the materials of the Ministry of Works were consumed in order to fight against the wood elves. Moreover, the gold coins allocated from households this year are only actual. The payment is less than 50%, no matter how capable the old minister is, it is hard for him to make a meal without straw!"

"Tobe!"

Lu Ning was furious, stood up and said, "Why are you withholding money from the Ministry of Industry?"

The Secretary of the Household Department knelt down in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the Household Department is also out of money this year. In order to support an invasion of the wood elves, the Household Department has been almost emptied of money. In addition, it has repaired the hero's cemetery, the imperial mausoleum, and dredged the roads. The water transportation of Luhe River also requires a lot of money. In order to squeeze out more money, the old minister ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to reduce all salaries by 30% from top to bottom, but there is still no extra gold coins to give to the Ministry of Works! "

Lu Ning was trembling with anger: "My majestic Xia Dynasty actually doesn't have such a small amount of money?"

The Ministry of Revenue handed over his hand: "Your Majesty is aware that unless taxes are increased, the national treasury will be basically empty this year."

…

Lu Ning slowly sat back on the throne, looked at Mingyuechi, and said: "Master Yuechi, you have also seen that the national treasury has been emptied due to the battle with the wood elves. Can this supply of supplies to Dragon Territory be delayed? some time?"

Mingyuechi raised his head to look at Lu Ning, his peaks undulating slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, do you think Dragon Territory can withstand the ten kings of the Purgatory Legion in the north with insufficient supplies? Once Dragon Territory is destroyed, how can the Xia people Resist?"

"But the treasury is empty..." Lu Ning gritted her silver teeth and remained silent.

The Secretary of the Household Department said: "Master Yuechi, although Longyu has made many military exploits, there is no need to continue to press hard against Your Majesty, right?"

"joke!"

At this time, Lin Xingchu, who was standing on the side, laughed out loud and said: "The south of our Xia clan has always been a land of plenty, and with the good weather these years, I just don't believe there will be no more gold coins to use. With the Infernal Legion's army pressing down on the border, you important ministers of the country But they only know how to push each other. As far as I know, Mr. Hubu, when your son married a second concubine, he bought a manor south of Xingqi City. This manor alone cost 50 million gold coins. ?”

As she said that, she looked at Mingyue Pond and said: "The materials needed by Master Yuechi are only two to three hundred million gold coins in total. If each of you donates one or two houses, wouldn't you have everything?" Yes, sirs from the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Lei Lie Division. Which of your families doesn’t have many mansions and villas?”

All the ministers knelt down one after another, and the Minister of Household Affairs turned green: "Mr.

Lin Xingchu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, since the treasury is in short supply, we have to find a place to get money. I suggest you raid your home."

"Robbing...ranching the house?"

Lu Ning looked confused: "Whose house was raided?"

"Starting from Master Hu Bu's house and counting all the way down, by the time we reach Master Rites, the treasury should be quite full. Let alone one dragon domain, we can afford to support a hundred dragon domains!"

Lin Xingchu has a graceful figure, stands tall and upright.

Lu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mr.

"That's okay."

Lin Xingchu turned around, looked at a group of civil servants, and said, "Shang Shu, now I ask you, can the treasury get the money?"

"Can...can!"

The face of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance was covered with sweat: "I must try my best to find a way to replenish the funds of the national treasury!"

"That's right~~~~"

Lin Xingchu smiled brightly.
