Chapter 78: The tribution Frenzy

  Mantou's video and Singo's strategy guide stirred up a huge wave in the pyer unity. The Exge's temporarily limited 10 copies of the 【Mysterious Invitation】 had sold out.

  Majuilds decred they would no longer hold back, starting to monopolize the previously ed fa tributios, while gold-earning quests were left in the dust.

  Thus, pyers unched a frenzy of pursuing fa tributions, tirelessly w for Cassius day and night without pay. Quest boards were even being fought over.

  "Let me bee a Draic Bloodline Sorcerer!"

  "I want to be a Dragon Knight!"

  "Aaaah! Give me legendary gear!"

  "The sky is a man's romance!"

  Excited pyers shouting such slogans appeared in mines, beside city walls, on rooftops, and eveo manure piles.

  Even Medrosh was shocked by the pyers' overwhelmihusiasm for bor, hastily crafting many new quests.

  At this critical moment, Cassius pressed olessly, administering arong dose by ung his long-prepared, fully automatic "leek harvester"—the Fa Position System.

  Using pyers to manage pyers, redug ma costs to ive numbers.

  Currently, only three low-level positions were open: 【Tax Collector】, 【Clerk】, and 【stable】.

  They were responsible for assisting in tax colle, handling dotation, and maintaining city security, respectively. Baator City's officials would provide them with corresponding gear and aodations. Their only sary was the daily fa tribution, and the amount would be determined based on performance.

  Even for these low-level positions, the application requirement was 3,000 fa tributions, while most pyers hadn't even reached oh of that number.

  Faced with this, they could only sigh helplessly, tinuing to bury themselves in grinding, fantasizing about a better future.

  However, at this time, the famous "Bck Sve Quartet" were extremely excited about this. After eighteen days of brutal toil, their tributions had already reached the standard.

  [Fa Position System Activated!]

  [Your tribution value is 6,457; you choose positions: 【Tax Collector】, 【Clerk】, 【stable】]

  [Note: Low-level positions have a daily minimum sary of 100 fa tributions]

  [You earn additional fa tribution bohrough work.]

  Pointing at the prompt oerface, Mantou said, "This system is pretty sweet! With a daily minimum sary of 100 fa tributions, it seems we won't have to run around doing odd jobs anymore!"

  "Yes, it's finally over."

  Summer Night Autumn Rain nodded with lingering fear; if not for her high professional standards, she probably wouldn't have wao stay in the dirty, dark mines for another moment.

  Born Battle Maniac rubbed his bald head: "It's indeed pretty good."

  Singo quickly skimmed through the specific descriptions of the positions and summarized eloquently: "Let me share my thoughts. I mainly reend the positions of stable and Tax Collector."

  "stables get ara bonus of 150 tributions for each illegal or criminal act they catch. Heh, giveure of the pyer unity, you all know how high their crime rate is."

  "Then there's the Tax Collector, who earns tribution bonuses based on the amount of taxes collected. We might even be able to snag some gold s; there's a lot of room for maneuver here."

  "As for the Clerk? Processing 4,000 words of dots every day, with a monthly minimum of 1,500 tributions."

  "Not even a dog would take that."

  He once again uttered that cssic judgment.

  Born Battle Maniac, Mantou, and Summer Night Autumn Rain all suggested in unison: "The's choose stable."

  For no other reason than that being a Tax Collector draws too much aggro.

  Singo gave a sly smile: "Heh, then I'll choose Tax Collector. I'll let the pyers knoaying taxes is as iable as death."

  Mantou felt a chill down his spine and once again sighed that this guy was a total pervert.

  Who knows how this future Tax Collector will torment other pyers.

  [You have selected the fa position—【Sheriff】]

  [You reside in the 【Baator City stable Dormitory】]

  [You o go to the 【Baator City Administrative Hall】 to receive the corresponding gear and ons.]

  Mantou and his group first went to check out their quite det new dormitory, and theo the hall to collect their armor and ons.

  "Wow, this is so cool!"

  "These bes are too good."

  Looking at the brand-new 【Sheriff's Armor】 and 【Sword of Order】 in his hands, Mantou couldn't help but excim.

  This was far better than the equipment that Singo had previously taken and sold; it was a qualitative leap.

  "Although Singo is a bit of a jerk, his abilities are irong," Mantou sighed.

  The armor was finely crafted iron armor that pyers found hard to purchase; the on was a standard iron longsword. On the chest of the armor and the hilt of the sword were carved exquisite emblems—the design was a goldeical pupil surrounded by fmes, symbolizing the unique emblem of the Ember .

  They even obtaihe right to use mounts.

  Donning the brand-new gear, gripping the longsword, and riding on a tall horse.

  "In the spring breeze, the proud horse's hooves are swift; in one day, I see all the Baator flowers."

  He recited proudly.

  Mantou felt eted, his hardships finally over, and all previous depression vanished. Even his gaze at the hardw pyers became more arrogant.

  The pyers in the square also noticed Mantou. They initially thought he was some NPC, but only barely reized him after seeing the 【I Go Eat Mantou】 name above his head.

  "Is that really Mantou?"

  "Where did they get that gear? It looks so good!"

  "Did he rob a bank?"

  "Where did he get a mount? I want to ride a horse too."

  "Seeing Mantou doing so well makes me feel worse than seeing myself doing poorly."

  A pyer who had just returned from the mines, covered in dirt, excimed: "Damn, isn't that the 'Bck Sve Quartet'?"

  Hearing this, Mantou's eyes widened, and he pointed his longsword at that pyer, shouting acc to the Sheriff's manual:

  "Citizen, I am responsible for maintaining security here; please mind your words!"

  "Provoking a Sheriff is prohibited!"

  .........

  "Pfft!"

  Cassius, lying in the cave watg the se, couldn't help but burst into ughter, almost spitting out fmes, thinking to himself that Mantou was quite good at showing off.

  The red dragon exhaled a breath of sulfurous heat.

  But this was good; letting them bee positive examples of w for the Ember , so that all pyers uand the importance of striving for fa tributions. This way, Cassius could reap the bes effortlessly.

  "Hehehe..."

  Cassius let out a sinister ugh.

  When most pyers reach the fa tribution standard, he will implement a "ption upgrade."

  He will move the items inally corresponding to the 【Adamantine Shop】 level to a new 【Gemstone Shop】, and then raise the fa tribution standards several times over, tinuing to make them work for free.

  "Don't worry, everyone."

  "There are still many days ahead."

  In just over a month of the beta test, Cassius had already bee self-taught, deeply uanding the essence of reaping leeks as he did in his previous life.
