Chapter 7: The Appearance of a Magician

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

About ten minutes later, everyone had essentially mastered the technique.

Lin Tian took out some potatoes and asked them to start planting. Then, he asked Diana to pay attention to everyone’s activity.

He stayed and observed them for a long time. Only when he saw that everyone had mastered the technique did he proceed to leave.

At this moment, a little boy suddenly ran over while panting. “Lord! Someone is causing trouble in the small town!”

Lin Tian asked, “Who’s causing trouble?”

“It’s the scoundrels from the neighboring town. They said that Master Barr owed them a lot of money in the past. Now that Master Barr has left, they can only ask for money from you. However, Lord, although Master Barr was down and out in the past, the possibility of him borrowing money from them is very low. These people are probably trying to blackmail you.”

Lin Tian glanced at the little boy. He was rather clever.

After a moment of silence, he said to the few men who had rushed forward to deal with the python previously, “From now on, you don’t have to work in the fields anymore. Instead, you will join the tribe’s army. Your pay will be 300 copper coins per month.”

The few men’s faces immediately revealed expressions of joy.

300 copper coins, that was 3 silver coins! That was a very high salary!

The other men looked envious, but they also knew the reason why those men were chosen. They were people who dared to fight against the python.

One choice led them to a different fate.

“Let’s go and see who the troublemakers are.”

Lin Tian brought a few men and Jenny to the small town.

[Aiya, finally some troublemakers!]

[My watermelons are ready.]

[Streamer, don’t embarrass the transmigrators.]

[Streamer, give the cat-eared lady a scene and I’ll give you a cloud-piercing arrow!]

As Lin Tian walked toward the town, comments kept popping up in the livestream.

As the number of people increased, the chat area could no longer be read. Every second, new comments were pushing the old ones away.

The screen was also densely packed.

Lin Tian, on the other hand, was probably the most aloof streamer. He was so focused on dealing with things that he had forgotten about the existence of his livestream. Fortunately, the system automatically recorded everything.

When Lin Tian walked into the town, he saw a few tall and strong ruffian-looking men talking to the security officer. Sure enough, there were gangsters everywhere.

“The Lord is here!”

When Lin Tian arrived, the onlookers immediately made way for him.

“You are the new lord?” asked a gangster who was holding a knife.

Lin Tian said indifferently, “That’s right. What do you want?”

That gangster said, “Nothing much. It’s just that Barr has borrowed money from us before and left before he returned it to us. We couldn’t find him, so we could only look for you.”

Lin Tian asked, “How much?”

The gangster clapped his hands with a small knife and grinned. “Not much, 50 gold coins.”

[F*ck, 50 gold coins! He’s asking for too much!]

[How shameless!]

[Calm down, it’s just a script, don’t take it seriously.]

Lin Tian laughed as well. “Do you think I’m someone that can be blackmailed?”

“Blackmailed? This is legitimate!” The thug’s face instantly darkened.

Lin Tian sneered, “Look at whose territory this is.”

As soon as he said that, the few men he called previously proceeded to block the gangster with hoes.

“Idiot, do you think a few hoes can scare us?”

The gangsters laughed without restraint.

“Return the money immediately, or I will make your town disappear!” The gangster with the knife suddenly displayed a cold expression.

“Ah, are you guys crazy?” A scream sounded.

Lin Tian looked toward the direction of the sound. In front of a wooden house not far away, a few gangsters were holding torches, as if they were threatening to throw it in.

Lin Tian’s expression turned cold.

[Looks like he has a ruthless character.]

[He’s ruthless!]

[Streamer, don’t be afraid, just do it!]

Lin Tian’s voice was cold. “Take them down and hang them up.”

Hearing his words, the few men with hoes rushed toward the gangsters.

These people were ready to show off in front of Lin Tian, each more reckless than the other. Although the leader of the gangsters had a knife in his hand, it was nothing compared to the hoes.

In the blink of an eye, the leader of the gangsters suffered a few hits.

“Burn them!”

The head of the gangsters was also equally ruthless and immediately ordered his men.

Thus, the gangsters threw the torches into the wooden house.

The flames instantly surged up.

The houses in the town were connected. Once one of the houses burned up, the situation would be dire. None of the houses would be able to survive.

Someone shouted, “Extinguish the fire! Quickly extinguish the fire! We must not let it burn up!”

Within a short moment, the fire was almost reaching the roof.

Seeing that the situation was about to go out of control, Lin Tian walked quickly to the wooden house and stretched out his hands.

As if they were being suppressed, the flames that were burning fiercely just a moment ago extinguished.

[Awesome, a human-shaped fire extinguisher!]

[What’s going on? Where is the fire extinguisher hidden? Why didn’t I see the dust from the fire extinguisher?]

[Which big shot can answer my question? Can the livestream add special effects?]

[This, you don’t know. The streamer has magic.]

This teasing audience member definitely would not have thought that what he said was the correct answer.

[It’s possible to do all of this by setting it up in advance. However, I have a feeling that things aren’t that simple.]

[I’m utterly impressed!]

The livestream was flooded.

Lin Tian’s actions shocked many people.

To some people, it was not easy to achieve this kind of special effect in a livestream. Moreover, it was not through some common means of extinguishing a fire. Even if it was arranged in advance, it was not an easy task.

However, none of them thought in the “streamer has indeed transmigrated” direction. After all, no matter how difficult it was, technology was so advanced. There must be some means and methods.

The other netizens were not so troubled. They just watched the development with great interest.

Their thoughts were very simple. It did not matter whether it was real or not, as long as it was interesting.

The viewers in the livestream were not the only ones who were shocked. The residents of the small town were also shocked.

“Mage! Our Lord is actually a respected mage!” shouted some of the residents of the small town.

When those gangsters heard the word mage, they were shocked.

“Catch them,” Lin Tian said.

In an instant, many people rushed toward those gangsters and captured all of them.

“Hang them up.”

Lin Tian used the basic fire control spell that he had just mastered to extinguish the fire and said coldly.

His town had almost been destroyed. He could not let the culprit off easily.

In the end, these gangsters were tied up and hung outside the town.

After this incident, Lin Tian’s prestige had increased exponentially.

Using the aftermath of this incident, Lin Tian personally began to recruit troops.

The security officer acted conservatively and did not understand Lin Tian’s intentions. He only recruited three people after one day.

Therefore, Lin Tian personally took action.

He stood in the square and shouted, “Those aged 18-40 years old whose families have lived in the tribe for generations can come and register as the first batch of core troops! Each person will receive 300 copper coins a month!”
