Douluo Continent: Kunxu Descends, Second-Player Players Are Stunned

After learning about the basic situation of Douluo Kunxu, Qian Xunji suddenly discovered a key point.

"Father, where am I supposed to pay off the loan?"

You can't exactly carry several sacks of gold soul coins to the statue of the God of Wealth and shout—

I've come to pay off my debt!

That would be so embarrassing.

Qian Daoliu explained with a smile, "Every year, the God of Wealth Temple sends people to the Spirit Hall to collect the outstanding payments. These payments come from the Spirit Master tax and 50% of the Spirit Hall's annual net income. Once we've paid off the debts, the God of Wealth Temple will only collect 20% of the Spirit Hall's annual net income!"

Do I still have to pay taxes after paying off my debts?

This description is so unfamiliar; I don't understand it.

Qian Xunji pondered that the Spirit Hall should have specialists to manage its revenue, so he didn't need to worry about such things. He abandoned his thoughts and went straight to asking the question that concerned him most: "Dad, if I acquire a rare and precious treasure, can I sell it to pay off my debts—uh, can I use it to offset taxes?"

"No." Qian Daoliu shook his head and offered two solutions: "You can sell it to the Spirit Hall, or entrust the Spirit Hall to sell it. No matter how you profit, you will have to pay the Spirit Master Tax."

Why is the "Soul Master Tax" being mentioned again?

What on earth is this thing?!

Qian Xunji was shocked, puzzled, and confused, but never doubted the authenticity of the tax payment.

After all, this is very Kunxu!

Even spreading illegal martial arts techniques requires paying taxes.

Seeing that Qian Xunji didn't understand the importance of paying taxes, Qian Daoliu coughed twice and emphasized, "In Douluo Continent, if you don't pay your fines or taxes on time, and other forces seize on this, they will arrest you and take you to the God of Wealth Temple for trial. At best, your cultivation will drop; at worst, your martial soul will be shattered!"

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu pulled out a form.

"This is the threshold for personal income tax. For someone like you, the Pope's basic annual salary is 500 million gold soul coins, and you must pay taxes at the maximum rate of 35%."

It turns out the Temple of the God of Wealth is actually a tax office!

Is this the authority of the Sigma Man, who stands at the top of the food chain?

Qian Xunji asked curiously, "Do other sects need to pay taxes to the Temple of the God of Wealth?"

"Of course." Qian Daoliu proudly raised his head, puffed out his chest, and adopted the attitude of someone who owes money and is treated like royalty. "All forces that have borrowed money from the God of Wealth must obediently pay their taxes! Although most sects didn't borrow much and paid off their loans early, they also lost the God of Wealth's protection. As for us, with our billions in debt, we successfully secured a seat in the Sect Alliance and are distributing Soul Master subsidies to the God of Wealth's Palace!"

Why are you so happy to be working for the God of Wealth Temple for free?

Those born in the 2000s expressed their confusion and great shock.

"Father, what are the sect alliance seats?"

Qian Xunji felt that the word sounded familiar, but he was certain that he had never heard such a strange word before. However, he seemed to be able to guess the meaning of the word.

"The Sect Alliance was established by the Temple of the God of Wealth, and there are ten positions in total. To obtain a seat, one must have a connection with the Temple of the God of Wealth. The highest position belongs to the Spirit Hall, which has the power to have one vote count as three votes at the Sect Alliance Conference; the Upper Three Sects have one vote count as two votes, and the Lower Four Sects and the two Great Empires have one vote count as one vote. Only forces within the Sect Alliance have the power to collect taxes, legislate, enforce the law, and exercise autonomy."

After explaining, Qian Daoliu took out a golden invitation from his pocket: "Last month, the Clear Sky Sect applied to hold a sect meeting, scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Now that you have succeeded as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, you should naturally attend the meeting and make contact with those old foxes."

"Hiss!" Chihiro's computer froze for two seconds.

Is this an NPC issuing a quest?

Could it be that the system installed the Kunxu plugin in Douluo Continent to enrich the transmigrators' gaming experience and allow them to enjoy an immersive open world?

Are tax regulations considered "rules of the game" that cannot be violated in a horror game?

That's interesting!

When his gaming addiction kicked in, all those debts, plot points, and main characters instantly turned to ashes and vanished from Qian Xunji's mind. All that remained in his eyes was the desire to beat the game.

Who said Kunxu is dangerous?

Kunxu is absolutely amazing!

"Father, do you have a grudge against them?" Qian Xunji blinked and asked from the bottom of his heart.

Play around, have fun, but don't risk your life.

Qian Daoliu laughed: "Don't worry, no one will dare to hurt you. If you die, according to the rules of the God of Wealth Temple, they will have to share your debts."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji instantly felt his back straighten up!

This is a massive debt of 30 billion gold soul coins!

Who dares to touch it?

I ask you, who would dare touch a billionaire with such a huge debt!

Lao Qian was very pleased that his son was so energetic.

He patted Qian Xunji on the shoulder: "Keep up the good work, get busy!"

"Yes!" Before Biology Father could react, Qian Xunji quickly slipped away.

Hurry up and restore the cemetery!

If the conman finds out that he abandoned his ancestor's coffin, he'll definitely kill him!

……

After restoring the tomb, Chihiro leisurely arrived at the Papal Palace, where the ghost had been waiting for a long time.

At this moment, the Ghost was merely a Contra Douluo, a bishop of the Spirit Hall. Upon seeing the Pope's return, he immediately produced a secret letter.

"Your Holiness, during this year's Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, we discovered a young girl with innate full soul power possessing twin martial souls. Would you like someone to bring her to Martial Soul City?"

Another new quest has been triggered?

This time, it's Bibi Dong?

Wow, the modeling is absolutely gorgeous...

The thought that Qian Xunji would become Bibi Dong's great tonic in the future caused Qingche College Student's affection for the eccentric woman to plummet to negative numbers.

He really didn't want to die!

"Can I sell her?"

In Douluo Kunxu, buying and selling genius Soul Masters should be a legal thing, right?

Neither Yue Guan nor Gui Mei were fools, given their ability to become confidants of two generations of popes.

Upon hearing His Holiness the Pope's bizarre remarks, Ghost immediately activated his brain and began to analyze—

Bibi Dong's martial soul attribute leans towards evil, and she possesses innate full soul power. Her future achievements will certainly be no less than those of a Title Douluo. However, an evil martial soul could potentially affect one's character, which is why the Pope is unwilling to cultivate her—perhaps out of fear that she might do something to harm the Spirit Hall.

That being the case...

After finishing his calculations, the ghost began to flatter: "Your Holiness the Pope is wise!"

Qian Xunji: What did I do that you actually think I'm brilliant?

"With the Sect Alliance Conference imminent, His Holiness the Pope surely wants Bibi Dong and other forces to sign training agreements first. Once Bibi Dong grows up and discovers the pitfalls in the contracts, she'll proactively seek help from the Spirit Hall! At that time, with the God of Wealth as a witness, His Holiness the Pope will buy Bibi Dong back. The Spirit Hall will become Bibi Dong's biggest creditor, and burdened with debt, she'll definitely obey!"

Holy crap, there's a dog!

Qian Xunji was worried for Bibi Dong, but his expression remained calm.

He patted the ghostly figure on the shoulder: "Only you understand me! Do a good job!"

"Your Majesty's wisdom is unparalleled; the demon merely received Your Majesty's guidance."

Flattery will get you everywhere.

The ghostly words made Qian Xunji overjoyed, and he even wondered if he had been given the script of the Thought Transformation Stream.

"Keep up the good work! You'll definitely become a respected elder of the Spirit Hall in the future!"

Making empty promises is something anyone can do!

Ghost nodded and extended his hand: "Since Your Majesty plans to bring Bibi Dong to Wuhun City before the sect meeting, I am willing to go personally. I wonder who should pay for the travel expenses?"
