In the meeting hall of the City Lord's Estate, more than twenty people were sitting, and a group of guards with sabers were beside them. He Jia sat next to Elder Lu. The City Lord flipped through the accounts for the past three days and smiled.
"Great plan, Master Jin. Master Jin is now given the position of advisor and the right to enter and leave the City Lord's Mansion freely.”The City Lord praised. Although the City Lord and Jin Mingcha hadn't completed the construction project, Jin Mingcha's proposal had already earned him 360 billion in gold, which was equivalent to 30 million Star Credits. The officials saw that He Jia had brought so much profit to the city. Although they felt that it was inappropriate to enter and leave the city lord's mansion at will, they did not raise it in the end. Jin Mingcha was only a step away from being recognized by the system, and he had earned 360,000 contribution points.
"Thank you for your appreciation." Jin Mingcha smiled faintly.
"Then what should we do with the remaining ownerless land?”The City Lord pointed at the city map on the table and said.
None of the officials said anything, in case they said something wrong and the city lord blamed them.
"I think we should let Advisor Jin do the talking.”Elder Lu said after some thought.
"Sir, can we build some special buildings in our city, or do we need special requirements to build them?”He Jia asked.
"En, I understand what you mean. Although this city is a top-tier city, it's a shame to say that we only have the development scale of a Level 0 city.”The City Lord nodded and said.
"Sir, I think we should first enact some laws to stabilize public order. Please give me some time to think about it and make an on-the-spot investigation so that I can give my lord a proper suggestion.”Jin Mingcha said.
"Yes, Advisor Jin is right. It is indeed difficult to come up with a good suggestion in such a short time. When Advisor Jin comes up with a development strategy, please inform me immediately. We will wait and see. Alright, let's discuss how we should formulate the law.”The City Lord laughed.
The laws of Grace City were as follows: 1. No fighting is allowed between Homo Evolutis. Attacking the party will result in imprisonment for three days and a fine of three gold coins. No atonement. If the fine is not paid, the time will be doubled. The passive party would be imprisoned for a day or pay a gold coin to atone for their sins. If the passive party dies, the active party will be imprisoned for ten days and fined ten gold coins. If the passive party cannot pay the fine, the time will be doubled. He could use merit points to atone for his sins, one point per day.
2. Homo Evolutis who repeatedly engage in brawls for more than three times will have their property and land confiscated according to the severity of the case. They can atone for their sins with meritorious deeds.
3. Anyone who kills a legal resident of this city or another city shall be sentenced to death and be expelled from the country.
4. In order to prevent the residents or Homo Evolutis of this city from possessing special items that threaten the safety of the residents of this city, the City Lord and the special law personnel of this city have the right to forcefully purchase any unbounded items. We will purchase them at ten times the public price of the system.
5. In order to promote the cultural development of the city, any unbounded items that have caught the eye of Master Appraiser Zhang Mingcha will be forcibly purchased by the city at ten times the price.
6. Do not hinder the construction and order of the city for any reason. Violators will be killed!
The first, second, third and sixth laws were not objected to by any player because all games had these laws. As for the fourth and fifth messages, they were in a heated discussion. Most people opposed it, thinking that it was a violation of the right to private property. Many players protested on the official forum. Some players even protested in Grace City, saying that they would never come back again if the decree was not revoked.
However, those wealthy people who had bought a large amount of land in Grace City ignored these laws.
The players who protested in Grace City were all dragged into the dungeon by the city guards. In the end, it was overcrowded. The city lord, Li Ken, ordered that any protesting player should be shot to death to avoid being annoyed.
After the meeting, Jin Mingcha followed the rules and went to the secret room in the backyard of the mansion to appraise the card. Jin Mingcha appraised the first card and gained some experience.
[Wild Chicken: HP10/10, Attack Damage 1-2, Defense 0, Level 1]
Jin Mingcha looked at the 20 boxes piled up. Each box contained exactly 2,000 cards. He was having a headache. Even if it required 100 times the experience, as long as he worked hard, he could really break through to the beginner level. Each card could give him 1 point of appraiser experience. With 500 boxes of cards, he could break through to the beginner level. He could appraise a card every ten seconds, and Jin Mingcha could appraise three cards at a time at most. He had to sit down and drink clear spring water to slowly recover his magic power. It would take fifteen seconds to fully recover his magic power, which meant that he could appraise three cards in forty-five seconds. Jin Mingcha smiled and pressed the three cards per minute button. If he appraised for ten hours a day, he would be able to earn 1,800 experience points per day. It would take him 500 days to reach the Beginner Appraiser level. In other words, he would only need a month and a half to reach the Beginner Appraiser level.
After appraising two hundred cards, Jin Mingcha discovered that some of the first-class cards gave only one experience, while others gave ten. He didn't understand why that was the case, but he guessed that the experience was obtained randomly. At the same time, Jin Mingcha took out thirteen cards and sent them into his appraisal picture collection space. What made Jin Mingcha curious was why these cards were all small monster cards. Could it be that these twenty boxes of cards were all animal cards? The normal appraisal fee for such an animal card was only one copper coin. It was impossible to appraise a card worth ten gold coins in ten days. However, the City Lord probably did not care about the 10 gold coins.
Jin Mingcha yawned and opened his card in boredom. He looked out the window at the endless night and sighed." Tomorrow morning, where should I go?”
"Come to my place." A girl's voice sounded in Jin Mingcha's ears.
"Who is it?" Jin Mingcha was startled. He turned around and saw a young girl in a milan-colored gown standing behind him. "And you are?"
"I am Xing Lan. Are you free? Let's discuss something.”Xing Lan asked curiously as she circled around Jin Mingcha.
"Xing Lan? Alright!" Jin Mingcha couldn't help but tremble when he heard the name. He dropped a card from his hand and nodded.
"Let's go!" Xing Lan grabbed Jin Mingcha's arm and disappeared, leaving a card on the stone floor.
