154. Prestige
[Naruto, real name: Qin Xuan, a time traveler with a strange soul.]
"Hmm? What's going on? Why is it so simple?"
Naruto was confused. In theory, the information on exploration will definitely be clearer when it reaches level 5, but why is it still so simple?
"Maybe it is because of the system, it should have a certain shielding effect."
Naruto murmured, turned to look out the window, a slight waving in his eyes.
"First improve Lin Xue's strength. With her qualifications, it should be fine to upgrade to level 9. Then I will find a way to upgrade her to sky level, by the way...
This world has its own way of practicing. I don’t know if the methods of practicing in this world will help me. If there are soul-related practices, that would be great.
in addition.
There are many talented people in this world. Anyone can provide me with two soul skills. Maybe I can get more, and by the way, there are also awakening potions."
Naruto thought of something in an instant. This world is a treasure house for him. If you study it carefully, you may get a lot of rewards.
At this point, Naruto picked up the desk, dribbled the phone he cherished in the base and directly dialed it.
....
On the other side.
City Lord’s Mansion Conference Room.
Lin Xue and the beautiful woman were having a meeting with a group of awakened people in the base.
These awakened people are more powerful in the base, such as the original base leaders, such as hunting teams, mercenary groups, logistics departments, and many factions.
Anyway.
The strongest existence in the entire base is here, but these people are a little dissatisfied with Lin Xue. After all, Lin Xue relies on her father to take office, which makes others somewhat rejected.
In addition, Lin Xue is only a level 6, and her strength is among the weakest in the conference room.
It can be said that besides the beautiful woman, Lin Xue is the weakest.
The other people are at level seven, and the leader of some mercenary groups has even reached level eight.
The original base leader was even a level nine existence.
So.
Lin Xue doesn't have much majesty here. Although everyone dares not provoke Naruto, it is very likely that they can secretly stumbling on Lin Xue.
Especially now, the allocation of base resources has made these awakened people blush and their necks thick.
"Captain Lin Xue, I don't agree with your distribution plan. We have made a lot of efforts to maintain public order in slums. Why do we need to reduce taxes by half?"
The Black Tiger Commander spoke in a stiff tone. If he hadn't been afraid of Naruto, he would have been angry long ago.
"You have made great contributions to maintaining public order in slums, but life in slums is very poor. If you can reduce taxes by half, they can make them live better, right?"
Lin Xue had never experienced such a situation. Even with Naruto behind her back, her tone was a little small.
"Sorry, we can't agree. If you insist on doing so, then we have nothing to say."
The Black Tiger Commander smiled and stopped talking. Obviously, if Lin Xue was tough, he would rather take people out of the base and survive in other bases.
"Then we will postpone this before we discuss it."
Lin Xue had no choice but to look at the logistics minister on the other side.
This is an old man and a natural ability person who provides a large amount of food to the base. He is an awakened person whom countless bases want to recruit and one of the absolute central figures of the Dawn Base.
But in the past two years, he has provided less and less food, and even the price of selling it to the base has increased, which has made the people of the base miserable.
Lin Xue investigated the Logistics Minister and learned that he actually sold food to other bases in exchange for potions to improve his abilities, which led to less and less food in the base.
In order to stabilize the base and develop the long-term, Lin Xue could only give his own opinions to the logistics minister and ask him to provide 20% of the food.
"Twenty percent? You said you would provide 20 percent more every year? You're crazy." The logistics minister said angrily.
He is not as cowardly as the leader of the Black Tiger. As a natural-type abilities, he is always a guest of honor at any base he goes to. Who makes the few natural-type abilities in this world pitifully?
This also developed his tough and stubborn attitude. In addition, he was old and his lifespan was almost at its limit. He was already a little afraid of it.
After all, his only hope is to make a breakthrough, and these 20% of the food is an important capital for him to exchange for potions and must not be reduced.
So he refused without hesitation. Even if Lin Xue had Naruto's support, the Logistics Minister was not afraid. At worst, he could die.
"Listen to me..."
Lin Xue was not angry, but patiently began to persuade the Logistics Minister.
but.
Lin Xue's persuasion not only did not convince him, but instead made him angry.
However, due to Naruto's support for Lin Xue, the Logistics Minister was so angry that he wanted to get angry, but he just couldn't do it, and his face turned red with a flushing look on his face.
Squeak!
The office door was pushed open, Mengmeng ran in with her cell phone.
"Get out, how many times have you said that no one is allowed to disturb you during the meeting." The logistics minister shouted, just taking Mengmeng as a punching bag.
"But...but..."
Mengmeng held the phone and stuttered.
"No, but, get out quickly." The logistics minister continued to yell.
"Yes...but this is a call from Lord Lin Yi." Mengmeng said weakly.
"I care who he is...what? Lord Lin Yi?!"
The logistics minister was so scared that he was trembling because Lin Xue's father was named Lin Yi. He almost offended the adult just now, so he hurriedly remedy it.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and send it to Chief Lin Xue, but don't delay Lord Lin Yi's affairs."
The Logistics Minister said flatteringly, no longer having the momentum he had just now, and suddenly he seemed to have changed his own person.
He was actually feeling depressed. He originally thought he was not afraid of death, but after hearing Lin Yi's name, he thought of the scene where the fire dragon soared that day, and the logistics minister instantly withered.
Everyone looked at the logistics minister whose attitude changed drastically. Although they looked down on him, they did not dare to say anything, but waited quietly.
"Sister Lin Xue, give it."
Mengmeng quickly handed the phone to Lin Xue and listened with her little ears on her side.
"Father." Lin Xue took the phone and hurriedly said.
"You come here and bring the best practice techniques on the base, as well as some ability potions."
The indifferent voice came from the phone, which made everyone present dare not breathe for a moment, and they were so honest that they could not do it.
"Okay father." Lin Xue nodded.
"Um."
When the phone hung up, Lin Xue looked at the humane words in the conference room a little apologetically.
"Sorry, my father asked me for something. Please wait a moment, I'll come."
"It's okay, leader Lin Xue just goes, we'll just wait."
"Yes, yes, don't delay your affairs."
"Yes, we have a lot of time, we can wait, we can wait."
The awakened people in the conference room smiled and spoke, no longer had the previous repulsion, and they all seemed very kind.
Lin Xue looked at the people who had changed their attitudes sharply, and she smiled slightly, then walked outside.
But at this time.
The Black Tiger Commander suddenly stepped forward with a change in his face and said.
"Captain Lin Xue, please wait a moment. We are willing to comply with the previous tax proposal."
"Willing to obey?" Lin Xue was stunned, followed by surprise.
"Yes, leader, we have all our support." The Black Tiger Commander sighed and said helplessly.
He was also very tough at the beginning, but when he saw Lin Xue going to see her father, the Black Tiger Commander was afraid that Lin Xue would say something bad. For safety reasons, the Black Tiger Commander still chose to comply.
There was no way, the fire dragon scene that day was vivid in his mind. After thinking about it, he decided to be timid. Anyway, someone was timid in advance.
