TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

"Mr. Berny, it is possible to repair the mansion, but it will take some time. Because the damage is very big" A middle-aged man commented to Liu Yang.

"I see ... But what is the estimated time for the repair?" Liu Yang asked casually.

The middle-aged man looked at the other three before they waved. This gesture was barely noticeable, but Liu Yang understood that they were making some kind of tactical contact.

"Mr. Berny, to be honest, I think it could take about a week or two to fully fix it."

"I see ... How much will it cost to restore the mansion?" Liu Yang pretended not to notice anything wrong with the group.

"The price is about five thousand gold coins. The value is already with the materials included" The builder spoke honestly.

"I see ..." Liu Yang was thoughtful to hear the value. He understood that the group was trying to steal from him.

(If it were a common situation, you would not have the courage to steal from me. It seems that before you came here, you must have met some people) Liu Yang thought about it and understood that this would be the case.

"..." The group of middle-aged men did not hinder Liu Yang while he thought about their offer. They know they're already stealing it.

"Smoothly. I accept that price, but I hope your work will be perfect. " Liu Yang accepted the proposal. He was already thinking of a plan to deal with the other side.

"We thank Mr. Berny for your confidence. You can feel free, our work is the best in the city." The group was startled to hear this. They did not imagine that Liu Yang nor tried to negotiate with them about the value.

"I will be waiting to see the results. Take it. Inside that bag has a thousand gold coins. This is the value for you to buy the materials to start the repair. I hope you guys start today"

"Mr. Berny, we will start working after the materials are purchased. We thank you for the trust" 

"Ok. You can go"

"See you later" The group left the mansion after making the deal with Liu Yang.

Liu Yang went to the third floor of the mansion. There was the rest of his group.

"Young master, will this be okay? They were clearly stealing the young master." Nancy commented angrily.

"Yes, young master. Nancy is right, they were stealing the young master" Callie also found the price charged by the builders to be absurd.

"It won't be a problem. Besides, we also made a lot of money, right? Didn't the bodies of those four invaders have any good things?"

"Yes. They had some interesting items with them, but that items and coins don't add up to five thousand gold coins"

"The amount paid for five thousand gold coins can be a lot, but what we will receive in return will be much more than that" Liu Yang said mysteriously.

"Young master, will the next invaders be richer than the previous four?" Nancy understood the meaning of Liu Yang's words.

"Yes. They will try to send stronger people to deal with us. It is also possible that when it comes to repairing the mansion, someone will try to set traps for us or even spy on us. We need to go to a safer place to stay"

"Young masters, will they have the courage to do that?" Nancy was shocked to hear those words.

"Yes. Those responsible for the attempted kidnap of Alwine should try to do so. They must be influential nobles in this city, otherwise, they would not have scared those four builders"

"Young master, is this serious ???" Callie and Nancy were startled to hear those words. But they soon realized that what Liu Yang said made sense.

The only people who can try to send people to invade the mansion or try to poison Liu Yang at the governor's birthday party were the nobles.

"Yes. But this is the least important, the most important for us is to gain more experience at that moment. These invaders and assassination attempts should help us in this matter. You need to be prepared"

"Yes, young master" The three women agreed.

"Young master, but if we kill many invaders. Won't the other side stop sending them?" Alwine commented. She was meditating a few moments ago.

"Yes. They will stop sending people to try to make trouble for us, but that does not mean that they cannot have other ways of doing this. I believe that they should try to bribe the governor so that he does nothing, besides, they should also put people outside the city waiting for us to leave. "

"Young master, but doesn't that mean that leaving the city will be extremely dangerous? Because the other side can send people above level 50 and we don't have a chance against people above level 50." Nancy commented after hearing Liu Yang's words.

Currently, the group was at level 50, as it was the limit in the area where they are. But if the group goes beyond the city, the new levels will be released and they can level up again.

That is, their new enemies may be much higher than 50. The level limit for the next area was 80.

"The chances of this happening are very high, but not everything is as bad as it looks. I looked at the city maps and learned some interesting things, some things that you may not know"

"Young master, what did you discover?" The three women were curious.

If Liu Yang saw something they don't know. This must be something that only people who live around the city know or just people in middle-level places.

"It seems that the distance until the new levels are released is not across the city gates, but about five kilometers away. We have time to create some plans to deal with our enemies" Liu Yang explained.

After visiting some places in the city, Liu Yang learned some new things.

One such information was that the suppression of the system only occurs about five kilometers south of the north of the city and to the east, as both sides lead to the higher levels of places.

To prevent anyone from leaving the city at night, the system did not suppress people close to the city. Suppression only works after anyone is five kilometers away from the city.

After crossing the border of the region, the person will be able to level again or recover the suppressed powers. However, at the boundaries between the two sites, there was a wall.

Those who want to go to the other side must go through a challenge within the wall to have the right to go through the other side. This was done by the system and not by anyone.
