Chapter 212: Piltover is not easy to live in
The currency of Piltover is quite strong. Generally, three Ionian gold coins are needed to surpass the gold content of Piltover's Gold Ocean. Only the ancient gold coins of Shurima can surpass Piltover in gold content.
Therefore, Piltover's gold coins have always been a very popular hard currency. After all, compared to the Shurima ancient gold coins that are almost out of print, Piltover's gold coins are not only issued in large quantities, but are also managed by a special agency.
But even so, one gold sea is still too cheap.
"Are you sure that a house like this only costs one gold sea to live in?"
Looking at the two-story building in front of him with a garden, a pond, and even a large open space, Li Ke turned his head to look at Mr. Lemire, who claimed to be a university professor.
"Yes, sir. This is just one of my houses. I have never lived in it. It has been idle for a long time and is a place for me and my friends to occasionally get together. But we rarely get together because they all went to Shurima for research."
Lemuel nodded. If this house was rented out, it would cost at least ten gold seas a month. But there was no other way. Who could have liked warriors like Li Ke?
He couldn't wait to know more from Li Ke, and...
He glanced at Ahri, Sett, and Lana with a hidden look.
But this is not because of Ahri's beauty, but because they are Vastaya.
He had seen the Vastaya people, but didn't know much about this rare ethnic group. He was a professor in the Department of Archaeology and Literature, so he was very interested in knowing the history of the Vastaya people.
It's not only for the history of the true warriors of Ionia as told by Li Ke, but also for the history of the Vastaya people, and what human history is like in the eyes of these legendary long-lived species.
That’s why rent is a sea of gold.
"I appreciate your kindness, but isn't this too much of a loss for you?"
Li Ke likes this house very much. Not only does it not smell like industrial waste, but it also has charming scenery. It is very close to the beach, but you will not be hit by the waves. There is a white sandy beach just two blocks away.
The flowers in the garden were all his favorite flowers, not to mention there was a pond for swimming.
What’s even more interesting is that there is a small artificial lake and a grove not far away, as well as an artificial river paved with pebbles and metal. Li Ke also saw many people fishing there.
Aside from some obvious technology and a fairly weak connection to the spiritual realm, the environment here is almost as good as Ionia, but without all the bugs.
A house like this should be called a villa.
However, Li Ke knew very well that there must be many houses in Piltover that were much better than this one .
"This is nothing. I have a lot of money besides real estate. After all, archaeology is very profitable, so I don't care about this... If you really feel bad, just tell me some unknown history and culture."
He finally stated his purpose, and Li Ke spoke with a smile.
"I didn't expect that we would still be in the same business together."
"Oh? You are also an Ionian scholar?"
Lemuel raised his eyebrows. In that case, he wouldn't even want to pay the rent. For someone like him, nothing was more valuable than foreign knowledge.
“No, I’m also a writer.”
Li Ke spread out his hands. To be honest, he worked so hard to learn Piltover language just to be a plagiarist in Piltover.
That’s right, Li Ke’s original plan for himself was to come to Piltover to be a plagiarist, and then use the money earned from plagiarizing to make his own mechanical exoskeleton to make up for his lack of combat power.
But now things have changed and times have passed, and these are no longer important.
But Li Ke's plan to live a happy life remains unchanged.
The threat from Noxus is no longer a problem. If Li Ke can defeat Demacia in the simulation, he can also defeat Noxus directly on the battlefield.
Even compared to Demacia, Noxus, which has more minions, is even easier to defeat.
The power of blood can be said to be born for the battlefield.
His current threat was those gods in the sky who were looking for trouble, so he hurriedly left Ionia, which was also beginning to experience turmoil.
Noxus needs time to stabilize the situation and digest the Shurima War, and Ionia will also have to experience a collision between new and old ideas, as well as an awakening from top to bottom and from bottom to top.
It will be a vigorous and extremely bloody awakening.
After all, every reform in history has involved bloodshed and sacrifice.
Li Ke also wants to contribute, but if he participates, will Ionia be destroyed ? This result has been confirmed in the simulation.
And most importantly, 'God' might also intervene.
In my daily life, the tasks sent by the gods can pile up like a mountain, but because it is because of my daily life, I just don’t do it.
But if it involves big changes to Ionia...
Would God remain indifferent to his passive response?
"Writing a book?"
Lemire looked at Li Ke, a little surprised. But in the book writing business, nine out of ten people kneel down, and one of them starves to death.
"You are a famous writer in Ionia?"
Lemire asked as he handed the key to Ahri, who looked like the hostess.
As for the rent, what rent?
Who doesn't know that Lemire loves foreign scholars the most?
"No, actually I was planning to come to Piltover to write a novel."
Are you kidding? With The Count of Monte Cristo and the complete works of Shakespeare, Li Ke just doesn't believe that he can't gain a foothold in Piltover.
After all, he has read all the novels of this era, which are nothing more than You Love Me, I Love You, Mixue Bingcheng...
It's pretty much the same routine as the princess and the knight, or the treasure hunter who discovered the treasure. To be honest, although the writing is good, the routine is a bit poor.
Besides.
If his writing is not good, then he can't use his simulation ability to go to another world to endorse...
"Well, Piltover is very expensive, sir, please think twice. In fact if you need it, I have a librarian position here. If you..."
Lemire looked at Li Ke, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke out what was in his heart.
After all, Li Ke looks like a warrior. Wouldn't it be too difficult for him ?
"Are you interested in hearing a story?"
Li Ke smiled and walked into the mansion. He found that the decoration inside was very worthy of the location. To be honest, except for the lack of TV and refrigerator, it was basically no different from his home on Earth.
He felt inexplicably moved, and the people around him, including Mei Mu, all had expressions of "great shock" on their faces.
"What's the story?"
"A story of a prince's revenge."
"Is it from Ionia?"
"To be exact, it's a story circulating in Ionia."
Li Ke thought about it and decided to localize Shakespeare's "The Revenge of Prince Charles".
