My Wife Is The Big Boss

Chapter 36: Even NPCs Can Be House Slaves

Fang Leng enthusiastically patted Dynasty Overlord on the shoulder, hitting him hard a few times, causing Dynasty Overlord's health to plummet.

Damn!

Dynasty Overlord looked at Fang Leng, then at his own health, with a confused expression.

Wait, do we have such a good relationship?

Fang Leng smiled and said, "Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is like seeing a white sail on the horizon. Come, let me treat you to a drink."

In a daze, Dynasty Overlord nodded. After all, it was the first time he had been treated so warmly by Fang Leng!

However, as he thought about it, he suddenly realized that he had always been treated specially by Fang Leng, ever since he obtained the title of "Elementary School Student"...

Forget it, let's not dwell on the past. Since Fang Leng is so enthusiastic, it's a good thing to establish a good relationship with an NPC.

Then Fang Leng turned to Fang Nan and said, "How about you, miss?"

Fang Nan shook her head and said, "I want to improve my strength and leave for Xu State City as soon as possible."

"Xu State City? I happen to be going there too. We can go together since we're heading in the same direction. Let's skip the drinks, the main thing is to get going."

Fang Leng immediately changed his mind, leaving Dynasty Overlord bewildered.

Is this NPC more interested in the girl next to him than in the alcohol?

Dynasty Overlord accidentally revealed the truth.

What followed was interesting. Scholar Fang Leng led the team to grind monsters.

Fang Leng didn't cast any spells or use sword techniques. He simply recited a few battle poems, which allowed him to comprehend offensive skills. When he recited them, the damage was explosive, and the monsters fell in droves. Fang Nan easily leveled up. In just one morning, Fang Nan reached level ten.

Fang Leng's efficiency in grinding monsters was too high. He taunted the monsters, dealt AOE damage, and killed them instantly. Fang Nan stood by and cheered.

Dynasty Overlord followed along, but he was already level ten and wouldn't gain any more experience. The reason he didn't immediately set off for Xu State City was because Fang Nan's level was about to catch up. He continued to stay behind, considering it a favor.

Unexpectedly, a leveling NPC appeared. Where can you reason with that?

After helping Fang Nan level up, they decided to go to the city. They boarded a horse-drawn carriage that traveled a thousand miles a day, and soon arrived at Xu State City.

At the city gate, Fang Nan was the first to bid farewell. She didn't know what she was looking for, but she thought that searching around might lead to some answers.

Seeing Fang Nan about to leave, Fang Leng suddenly said, "Miss, please wait. I have just arrived in Xu State City and haven't found a place to settle down yet. Could you please take care of Da Hong for me?"

He said it as if others had already settled in for a long time.

Dynasty Overlord silently complained in his heart, but he couldn't help but want to take over this task. He had seen how strong Da Hong was, and most people didn't have pets. Having an NPC give them a pet to take care of, and then taking it out to grind monsters, would be great.

But then he thought, it's just a task, not worth lowering Fang Nan's impression.

Fang Nan also found it strange. She had no particular goal at the moment.

Before coming to Xu State City, her goal was to level up quickly and reach Xu State City. However, she had spent a day and night grinding, with some members of the Dynasty Guild helping her, before finally leveling up. But upon arriving in Xu State City, she suddenly lost her sense of purpose.

At this moment, Fang Leng sent her a task, and she happened to accept it.

In fact, Fang Leng intended for Da Hong to accompany Fang Nan. On one hand, it could provide assistance, and on the other hand, Da Hong could help take care of Fang Nan.

"Da Hong, I'll leave it to you!"

When Fang Leng said this, he was speaking to Da Hong, seemingly asking Fang Nan to take care of Da Hong. In reality, he was asking Da Hong to be more clever.

Da Hong clucked in response, indicating his understanding. This rooster's intelligence is truly impressive.

Fang Nan took Da Hong and left, while Fang Leng also prepared to leave. Dynasty Overlord said, "Sir, since you've arrived in the city, why not have a drink?"

"I don't drink, goodbye." Fang Leng bowed and slipped away.

Dynasty Overlord: "......"

Ah, a practical man!

Fang Leng arrived at Xu State City with things to do. He needed to find a place to settle down.

This wasn't difficult, after all, he was a scholar with a reputation. It wouldn't be hard for him to establish himself in the city, especially since he had a lot of information and had no worries about fitting in.

Xu State City was the first stop for cultivating immortality. There wouldn't be any sects teaching the Immortal Dao in the village, but in Xu State City, various sects appeared.

Different sects represented different professions. For example, the Daoist sects were mage DPS, the Buddhist Gate sects were healers and tank-type warriors and mages, there were summoners who learned beast taming, nanny professions for medical studies, as well as secondary professions in formation cultivation, pill refining, artifact refining, and talisman cultivation.

These were all various sects, and the imperial court had two factions: the archers of the Divine Machine Corps and the scholars of the Academy.

Each person could only join one sect and couldn't join multiple sects. However, those who joined the imperial court could still go to the sects to learn.

But being greedy won't lead to success. Not everyone has the energy to learn multiple things.

If one wants to be versatile, they can only become a scholar. After a scholar passes the imperial examination, they can awaken a passive skill.

The required experience points for learning skills are reduced. Otherwise, a person's experience points are limited, and they won't be able to learn too many other things.

Apart from joining sects and joining the imperial court, one can also choose to become a wanderer. Wanderers have special passives because they haven't joined any faction.

They can master eighteen types of weapons, learn Spiritual Force and True Qi, and can learn various skills without restrictions.

Unlike the Buddhist Gate, which can't learn Daoist techniques, and the Daoist sects can't learn Buddhist Gate techniques, wanderers can embrace all schools if they wish.

But wanderers can be the strongest profession or the weakest profession, depending on how they play.

When Fang Leng designed this game, he considered diversity and openness to the greatest extent possible. Players can play however they want, but everything has its pros and cons. No profession is invincible, nor is any profession useless.

However, joining a sect is a test. Among the Daoist sects, some sects have better techniques. Therefore, there are hidden sects as well as openly known sects.

Hidden sects are meant for players to explore. This setting was released early on, but the specific hidden sects are not mentioned in the information and need to be discovered by players themselves.

When most players flocked to Xu State City, the various factions within the city began their revelry.

It's like the start of a new school year, with major universities all wanting to recruit students, the same idea.

At this time, Fang Leng was carrying a bookcase, thinking about how to do business.

First, he needed to buy a house in the city.

NPCs also need to buy houses. I wonder if developing the real estate industry in the game will work...
