Simulated Player [Holo]

As the lord, Viscount White's mansion is the most conspicuous building in the southern area.

Except for the statue of the Pulse of the Earth standing tall on the top of the main building, its wide door that is always open during the day, the large left and right side buildings, and the crowds of people entering and leaving in twos and threes all show that this mansion is a combination of the lord's living and government affairs. Oneness of existence.

This is the normal situation in the territories of the rural nobles. Their strength cannot support the operation of an independent agency, and the things in their territories are not so complicated that they must be handled by an independent agency, so they simply put the two together.

Louis observed the situation of the Viscount's mansion for a while, and walked into the mansion through the two dedicated guards at the door.

It was early in the morning, and there were not many people in the Viscount's mansion, and everyone seemed lazy. The clerk who was in charge of inquiring about visitors was sitting behind the registration desk slowly brewing tea.

Noticing someone walking towards him, the clerk stopped and raised his head, his impatience dissipated instantly after seeing the image of the person coming, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hello adventurer, do you need any help?"

"Yes." Louis nodded towards the other party. "I would like to apply for a map of the surrounding area of ​​Cangshi Town. It would be better if there is a map of the Principality."

"Oh, let me see..." The clerk rummaged through the book in his hand, shaking his head regretfully, "Sorry, Louis the Adventurer, your prestige in this town is far from enough to check The point of the map."

"...Prestige?" Louis never thought that such a simple request would be rejected.He was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Yes." The clerk patiently explained to him, "Information such as maps is confidential information that needs to be restricted in the Principality's laws. Although it is the lowest level of confidentiality, it cannot be viewed by anyone, especially you adventurers. Sir Some adventurers are people whose whereabouts are unpredictable and difficult to manage. If you want to access classified information, you must have a certain reputation, or make a certain contribution to our Cangshi Town."

And this kind of law?

Following the clerk's explanation, a translucent panel popped out in front of Louis' eyes, on which there were only three lines of Crushed Stone Village, Cangshi Town and Brad Principality, except for the suffix of Crushed Stone Village which is "intimate", the other two are " cold".

After reading the details of the new panel at a glance, Louis nodded thoughtfully——

In the middle and lower classes, the unscrupulous players obviously have more initiative than the natives of the world, but the layers of invisible shackles placed on them by the system are dedicated to leveling this advantage, and this prestige panel is also the same , while guiding the players to contribute to the construction of local towns, it can also be considered as a safety net for the aborigines.

"So, what level of prestige do you need to have the right to consult the map? Do you have any tasks here that can increase prestige?"

"It's enough to reach a friendly relationship with our town. My tasks here are mainly to patrol inside and outside the town, guard the Viscount's mansion, transport ore, and eliminate thieves. Which one do you want to take?"

"……let me think again."

Louis checked all the tasks one by one, and helplessly overturned all the previous plans in his heart.

Without the help of power and strength, he thought it was too simple to travel to the mainland.

The task given by the clerk can only be accepted once a day. Among them, transporting ore and eliminating thieves are the two most efficient ways to exchange prestige points, but in exchange for 300 points of friendly prestige, you need to complete the task for a month...

On the way here, he saw the shrine of the omniscient nearby, maybe he could find some extra opportunities there?

After re-determining the next step, Louis took on two tasks and asked the clerk another matter: "If I want to buy a house in the town, what do I need to do?"

"houses?"

"Yes. I'm supposed to be staying here for a while, so I need a place of my own. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Oh, of course, of course!" Confirming that he heard correctly, the smile on the clerk's face suddenly deepened.He put down the teacup in his hand, and took out another document from the side graciously, "These are the unowned houses in our town, and each one has detailed information, you can take a look at it slowly. The latter part is the unowned houses in the town. The main plot, if you don’t find a suitable house, you can also buy a place and build it yourself.”

"Thank you." Louis glanced at the house price attached to the information, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The clerk took out the information, except for the two houses in the southern district worth more than [-] gold coins, the selling price of other houses rarely exceeded double digits, and the two houses in the remote corners of the civilian area were worth one or two gold coins. Gold coins can be traded.

Considering the needs of the rock ball and the money on his body, Louis chose a hut with a garden in a better location in the civilian area.

This cost him all the gold coins he had.

"I found it. Here are all the certificates of No. 57, Third Street, North District." After counting the jingling gold coins, the clerk rummaged through the cabinet behind him, and finally handed Louis a thin certificate.

"Please keep this certificate well, you are welcome to become a resident of our Cangshi Town."

[You acquire the ownership of the house at No. 57, Third Street, North District, Cangshi Town]

[You become an ordinary resident of Cangshi Town, your prestige in Cangshi Town has reached "flat"]

This raised the prestige value by one level?

Louis frowned when he heard the notification from the system. He found the previous panel and opened it to check. Sure enough, the relationship suffix in Cangshi town had changed.

If he bought another house, or just bought one of the houses in the noble district, would his prestige directly become "friendly"?

After a momentary heartbeat, Louis quickly sobered up in the cruel reality of lack of money.

He took the certificate and put it in the storage compartment, and casually asked the clerk one last question: "I heard someone mention the 'Sergersius family' on the road earlier. Is that a great noble from the upper class of the principality?"

"Sergesius? Oh, we don't have such a great nobleman in the Principality of Brad." The cheerful clerk didn't mind chatting with the adventurer.

"Do you know the San Morro Empire? One of the two great empires of the human race, the Sergesius family has always been known as the 'brains' of the Saint Morro Empire. I heard that the members of that family are all scheming and ruthless conspiratorial masters."

"……Is it."

"I don't know. It's all about the big shots. We just need to listen to it. At most, we should be careful when we encounter it."

Louis exhaled, looked at the clerk's indifferent look and smiled: "You're right."
