Before going to upgrade, Ye Cheng went to the inn in the novice village quite nostalgically.

Here, there are memories of him after he first met Yaoqi.

I still remember that day, Yaoqi showed a child's sincere smile for a cup of hot water to warm his body, and smiled kindly at him for a little food that could only satisfy his hunger.

It's just that now, things have long been different.

In an instant, Ye Chengfang saw that in front of the familiar wine table, Yaoqi was happy and immature, but also kind and innocent.

……

"Your presence, your presence has made the shop flourish, may I ask if there is anything I can do for you?" The innkeeper's sycophancy sounded, and in that voice, flattery occupied all feelings.

Slightly unpleasantly stunned by the middle-aged man in front of him, Ye Cheng was slightly angry, but after thinking about it, since he already knew that Yaoqi was only in a state of deep awakening, he would still meet in the future, and now it seems that it is a little inappropriate to see things and think about people.

Smiling casually, Ye Cheng sat at the wine table and said lightly: "Boss, you have also seen it, I am just a level 0 rookie now, you don't have to be so arrogant." Besides, we've met a few times before......"

"Your Excellency Baron, how dare the villain look down on you in front of you. You don't know, if you offend the Baron's might, it's hard to protect the small head......" The innkeeper bowed down and said, looking at Ye Cheng with a slightly nervous expression, as if he was afraid that if he was not careful, the head would move.

Secretly said a strange sound, Ye Cheng was curious: "Why is it difficult to protect the head?" ”

"Lord Baron doesn't know, although I knew you before, but now you have been blessed by the Sun Goddess Sias and become a noble baron, and your status is very different from that of villains and other villains in the market, under the strict hierarchical system of the Sun Alliance, the common people will be beheaded if they offend the superiors." Regarding Ye Cheng's question, the innkeeper still grovelled and patiently explained.

Frowning, Ye Cheng said unhappily: "Although I am a baron, I am only a player, you don't have to grovel so much, just speak straight." Also, tell me, what are the hierarchies you're talking about? What's in it for me as a baron? Ye Cheng asked, obviously already interested in this topic.

Hearing the slight unhappiness in Ye Cheng's words, the innkeeper obviously realized that his actions were not in line with the man in front of him, so he straightened up: "Your Excellency has just been crowned a baron, and it is reasonable that you are not very clear about the hierarchy, in our Sun Alliance, the supreme ruler is the Sun Goddess Siasi, that is, our queen." And below them are dukes, marquises, counts, viscounts, and barons. ”

After a pause: "Each title is divided into three ranks, and the duke is the highest-ranking ruler under the queen, and is often a world-famous general or member of the royal family who follows the queen to fight in all directions. And the marquis is the city lord of the seven main cities of the Sun Alliance, as for the earl and viscount, they are all generals who follow the city lord to resist foreign invasion, or civil officials who maintain the construction of the main city. As far as I know, there are no more than 200 barons in the Alliance, and among the adventurers, there is only one one, so far. I don't know much about the benefits of the baron, but I know that there seem to be some unexpected benefits in the main city, of course, there should be a fief above the viscount, and the adults will know it when the time comes. ”

After speaking, the innkeeper took out a small bag from his waist and put it in front of Ye Cheng: "Lord Baron, a few days ago, the villain was obsessed with money and gave you ten copper coins, which can be regarded as the villain making up for you." ”

……

After listening to the innkeeper's introduction, Ye Cheng secretly had a plan in his heart, but when he saw him say this, he remembered that it seemed that there was indeed such a thing when he first entered the novice village, and he remembered that he should have been teleported to other novice villages to do tasks at that time.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Cheng didn't care about the innkeeper's money, although he was only level 0 now, but death did not drop coins, yes, he was now not big or small, and he was also a rich man, and there were still more than 3,100 gold coins in his hand.

Seeing Ye Cheng's insistence, the innkeeper had no choice but to take it back, and after thinking about it, he said to Ye Cheng, who seemed to be in his mind: "My lord, do you want to know how to improve the title?" ”

Not to mention, the innkeeper will judge the situation, Ye Cheng does have such an idea, of course, he did not go for the so-called title, but for the fiefdom. Although he didn't know what this fiefdom was yet, it should be beneficial.

Seeing Ye Cheng's acquiescence, the innkeeper said slowly: "The reason why adults can be crowned barons is largely because of helping the weak, for example, there are many weak people like Aunt Laundry in the alliance, and if you help them, you can improve your reputation, and when your reputation reaches a certain level, your title will change." Of course, if the adults can help us do something in the novice village, I think it will be beneficial to the adults. ”

This is a novel discovery, Ye Cheng thought, because he had never noticed this kind of thing on the official website or the forum. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "What do you need me to do?" ”

Actually, it's no wonder that Ye Cheng didn't find these things, because originally this version of the update was to be placed after the competitive battle in China, and the fame system would be opened, but Ye Cheng did not choose to release the system announcement when he was crowned, and others didn't know, this happened to not disrupt the plan of the light god online, yes, he took the lead and provided him with a lot of convenience in the future, of course, this is a later story.

"That's right, my lord, recently, the village chiefs of No. 00136 and No. 00137 Novice Village have had a disagreement over the expansion, and there is nothing the squire can do about it. As you know, in our small villages and small towns, it is rare for the upper class to come, so it has been delayed. I think that if you come forward at this time, it will definitely turn things around. Look at ......" the innkeeper said, and the system prompt flashed in front of Ye Cheng.

[Mediation]: The village chief of No. 00136 and No. 00137 Novice Village had a disagreement over the expansion, and as a baron, this is your duty. What you have to do is to reconcile this contradiction.

Difficulty: Grade F, Category: Story Mission. (Completion is automatically rewarded)

Are you willing to accept it?

Accept it without hesitation, Ye Cheng is not pretentious, it just so happens that he also wants to take the opportunity to get acquainted, after all, in his mind, he is going to settle in the novice village for a long time. As for why, he has his own ideas.

System Prompt: You have accepted the quest 'Mediation', and the system has opened up the Fame attribute for you.

Well, what are the benefits? Waving his hand to open his character attribute slide, Ye Cheng noticed that there was indeed one more item of fame in his attributes. And there is also a detailed introduction.

Character: I'm not a rookie (Baron of the 3rd Rank)

Class: Shadow Rider

Level: 0

Qi and blood: 103

Magic: 51

Attack: 1~2

Physical defense: 1~2

Magic Defense: 0

Potential: 136000

Fame: 0 (Fame: The initial value is 0, the baron crowned by the system accepts the fame task and is automatically added, and the current title will be increased by one level for every 1000 points of fame.) After the viscount, the reputation required to increase the title will be changed, and the player will be able to accept the fief from the lord of each main city and the reputation required to increase the title later. ）

Luck: 19

Sure enough, knighthoods are not easy to promote, as can be seen from the required fame. But obviously, the system is also very good at being a person, and directly released the temptation of Chiguoguo, a fiefdom. Hehe, does it know that humans have a desire to rule?

In the respectful farewell of the innkeeper, Ye Cheng carried the broken spear in his hand and rushed to the location of the village chief in the south of the village.

……

In the distance, he heard quarrels, 'This river is ours,' 'This tree is ours,' and so on.

Standing calmly beside the two NPC village chiefs, he didn't bother the two of them arguing, but listened carefully to the content of their quarrel.

It turned out that the quarrel between the two was over the division of the territory, and both sides believed that the dividing line between the two novice villages, the Twilight River, was theirs, and they could develop the fishery or something by themselves, but they couldn't come up with evidence, so they had to rely on the quarrel to solve it.

"Ahem! I said two. Ye Cheng spoke: "What's the matter, as for it?" ”

At this time, the two of them noticed that there was still a person standing around them, and after looking at it, they both bowed slightly: "Hello, Lord Baron, this Twilight River ......"

"I'll say a few words." Interrupting their words, Ye Cheng said, "Don't you just want to make a fortune by relying on this river?" Now, I will give you a suggestion, I will pay for it, and you will pay for it, and you will explain your so-called development of fisheries, after all, this is a good thing for the benefit of the village and the people. Say, how much does it cost? "Rich and rich! This is the best portrayal of Ye Cheng at this moment.

His words made the two look at each other, and after some discussion, the head of the novice village after 00136 said: "Your Excellency's proposal is very good, I discussed it with my old fellow, if it is to develop fisheries, each village will need about 900 gold coins, including %......&*¥&*...... （*（）*）”

Gritting his teeth secretly, Ye Cheng couldn't hold it anymore, these two people who were arguing just now were in full swing, as soon as they heard that they were paying for it, they were out of people, and they became old buddies in an instant, and they actually opened their mouths and said that a village would cost 900 gold coins, and they would be wronged? 900 gold coins, even if the current exchange rate is 1:97, that is nearly 90,000 yuan. It costs a huge sum of 180,000 to do a task?

But apparently, there was nothing he could do about it. 'Mediation' is a plot task, which cannot be abandoned, and there is only one solution for now.

"Okay, I'll pay for it!" Damn, this TM is like digging into the flesh of the heart.

Opening the first-level space bag, and was about to give the money to these two people who were now like good friends, Ye Cheng discovered a strange phenomenon.

The gold coins in his space bag were missing by more than 300 at some point, and they continued to disappear at a rate of 1 gold coin per second.

Hurriedly looked through the system prompt, and Ye Cheng was defeated by a paragraph.

System prompt: The green snake spirit automatically turns on the function of absorbing aura, but the aura of the novice village is weak, so it is replaced with gold coins. During the absorption of aura, the player will not be able to extract items or coins from the Space Bag, and if the gold is insufficient, they will be replaced with equipment. Once the aura is absorbed, the player regains access to the Space Bag. This is the first time of the day and lasts 10 minutes. The next absorption will take place 24 hours later.

"Oh my God, there is a mistake in the wood!! When can a green snake spirit deprive me of my rights as a player?! 10 minutes, 1 second 1, 600 gold coins, my day, 60,000 yuan, there is wood and !!... If you don't have enough gold coins, you have to replace them with equipment, what's the reason!! I'm going to continue in 24 hours?!..."

At this moment, although Ye Cheng had no expression change on his face, he had already rushed into a turbulent wave in his heart.

It wasn't until the two good friends called him that he said, "I studied this problem, and you have to come up with a plan." I'm so determined......"

In fact, the meaning of this sentence is already obvious, Ye Cheng wants to repay the debt, after all, he only has more than 3,000 gold coins, which is only enough for the green snake spirit to absorb for 5 days, and the green snake spirit is not tradable, cannot be dropped, and cannot be transferred, and he can't throw it if he wants to.

Besides, let him give up this game because of the spirit of the green snake, not to mention that he is sorry for the green snake who blew himself up in his conscience, the goddess of love Yueqing and the poor little girl Yaoqi are also a level that he can't pass.

You can't have both fish and bear's paws, so of course you should give up one and take the other. The famous title of god horse, the thing outside the body, is the object of abandonment at that time.

Ye Cheng had no choice but to make such a decision.

The sentence "The plan is ...... here" directly interrupted all Ye Cheng's thoughts.

What else can be done?! Digging out the money, looking at the remaining more than 700 gold coins in the space bag, Ye Cheng had the urge to run away.

However, the next system prompt instantly gave him hope again.

System Prompt: If you complete the task 'Mediation', the system will reward you with 1,000 experience points, 50 gold coins, 100 fame points, and 100 potential points.

System Tips: As the first player to trigger and complete the Fame Story Quest, the system will reward you with 80,000 experience points, 100 gold coins, 1,000 fame points, 3,000 potential points, and 1 luck value.

System Prompt: If your Fame exceeds 1000 points, you will automatically become a 'Second Baron'.

System Tip: You have reached level 1 and gained 7 fixed stat points. 'Knight Medal' increases the level of experience by 10% at the current level.

……

System Tip: You have reached level 10 and gained 7 fixed stat points. The 'Knight's Medal' has been upgraded.

Ouch, not bad, not only are there rich gold rewards, but there are also a lot of fame rewards, and what's cooler is that there are experience rewards, and upgrades can also upgrade the 'Knight Medal'.

Not only do you get gold coin experience, but you also have practical attributes, and you have a status, this 'second-class baron' has to put it on the back burner, and it is estimated that they can't buy it for more than 100,000 dollars.

I'm so happy, I'm so happy. Ye Cheng put a happy expression on his face and set his eyes on the knight's medal.

[Knight Medal] (Level 2): An exclusive medal for the 'Shadow Rider', which increases the owner's all attributes by 7%. Affiliation: I'm not a rookie. (Exclusive item.) Not tradable, not dropped, not transferable. Upgradable, upgrade XP 0/500. Players will automatically increase their level by 9% with each level increase, and death will not reduce the value, up to level 10 of the Knight Medal. ）

"Sure enough!" Ye Cheng said darkly.

Every time this knight's medal is increased by 1 level, the bonus of all attributes is increased by a certain percentage, but it is not 3% at a time as he thought before, and when it is upgraded to level 2, it is increased by 4%.

However, the percentage of upgrade experience that is automatically increased every time the level is increased is lower than before, and according to the 1% decrease of level 1, Ye Cheng is a little painful.
