"Sigh~"

Past the courtyard’s tulip garden, they entered the mansion and a group of players encountered a scene flush with blooming flowers.

"Wow, it’s huge!" Nan Ke exclaimed.

The building layout of the Royal Capital in the Duchy of Lance was already majestic and grand, with a clearly planned noble district that one could tell at a glance had been designed by someone of high caliber. Unique and not seeming cluttered, the overall visual impact was very strong.

Upon seeing the noble mansion, which was two sizes larger than the surrounding grand houses, and exceptionally elegant and dignified at first glace, even surpassing most delicately designed classical mansions in modern society, the players couldn’t help but be astonished.

They weren’t fools who knew nothing. The real power lord, who controlled a vast territory, had now revealed that he also had such an asset in the Royal Capital. This flow magnet in the game obviously had other information worth digging deeper into.

Many players were curious about Kael the Lord on the forums; after all, those who appeared in the game’s promotional CGs were usually important NPCs, at least.

"Lord, shall I summon people to come over for questioning?" Old White turned his head to look back and suddenly said to Kael after getting out of the carriage.

Everyone’s gaze was drawn involuntarily in the direction Old White had just glanced, where someone was quickly walking away with their back to them.

A playful smile crept onto Kael’s lips as he spoke softly, "No need, someone has to go and report to my dear uncle... after all, I believe it’s about time for the two of us to meet."

When he said this, his smile was warm, but the temperature in his voice had imperceptibly dropped.

A breeze blew by, and Nan Ke involuntarily shivered, quickly sending a message to Sister Astate:

’The NPCs in this game have quite complex characters. Honestly, it’s hard for me to imagine how that young man who shared his dream of leisure under the rice stalks during the car ride could have such a tough approach to someone else... But this feeling isn’t off-putting; this NPC is handleable!’

Sister Astate glanced at Nan Ke.

Having known Nan Ke in the House of Dog Empire for nearly two years, she was well aware that Nan Ke was a person of peaceful disposition.

In reality, he was a high achiever, having worked at the Human Federation Agricultural College for some time. It might be due to his working environment and personality, but he gave off a refined and patient impression and was even jokingly referred to as the "virtuous wife" in group chats.

To those he liked, as well as those he didn’t, his attitude was basically consistent.

But not everyone in the world was like Nan Ke.

Human nature is indeed complex.

Thus, she replied: ’Don’t you think a Kael like this seems more real? Besides, if you must apply a setting, not only is he a young lord, but the rangers spoke highly of this Lord during our mission to the Dungeon.

If he had the same disposition as you, he wouldn’t be able to gain his subordinates’ recognition. If kindness alone could make one a leader... Nan Ke, believe me, kindness is both the most valuable and the least valuable thing in this world. Those who rise from the nobility, no matter how good their nature, will not hesitate when it’s time to take action.’

Nan Ke nodded silently, understanding.

He was not one to contend, but that didn’t mean he was brainless; he could still grasp such matters.

But it was Lan Xiao Yu, who was observing Kael and Old White with great interest, who had already started furiously recording information along the way in the System panel.

"Ah... Did Lord used to live in the Royal Capital all the time?" Lily hesitated for a moment in front of the mansion, scarcely daring to enter.

The level of prosperity between the border territories and the Royal Capital was simply not on the same level. Even for the Lord Mansion in the border territory, Lily, who lacked a clear concept, found it hard to sense the hidden power behind Kael.

```

But... owning another sizeable courtyard in the Royal Capital revealed to her what kind of concept that was.

A mansion in a poor town in a cold region, compared to an elite residence within the wealthy district of the Duchy’s capital.

The former lacked a sufficient point of comparison.

But for the latter, even among the sought-after noble offspring at the secret Mage Academy, not everyone could live in such a place.

The most expensive land at the foot of the Royal Capital couldn’t be attained by money alone, but required status as well.

And something Kael had said just now had caught her attention.

Did he have other enemies in the Royal Capital?

"There’s no need for such expressions, I still hope you can relax a bit. Feel free to come over anytime and staying for a few nights is no problem," he said.

Leading several people into the courtyard, and after preparing tea, Kael looked toward the three players and said,

"When your client issued the task before, they must have told you about the specific task you need to complete while coming to the Royal Capital, right?"

Everyone nodded in understanding.

When they had received the task the night before, the guard from the Lord Mansion had made it clear.

During their time in the Royal Capital, their living expenses would be covered by Kael, and they were to help Kael promote the refreshing literature he intended to publish.

That’s right, not to sell, but to promote.

To put it simply, it was meant to be given away for free.

"Lord, rest assured, we will definitely distribute these books to the groups that are most likely to become customers," one assured.

When first confronted with the task, Overfishing had realized the advantage it held for her.

As a worker in the modern communications industry, she was quite confident in her ability to identify target customer groups.

But to her surprise, Kael shook his head and said, "Regarding the promotion of the books for the first round of distribution, I’ve already made arrangements. When the time comes, just follow the areas I’ve designated."

"Oh~" Overfishing’s face showed a hint of disappointment.

She had hoped to use this opportunity to explore new maps in the Royal Capital and see if she could gather more intel on unknown territories.

After all, "The Gates to the Lower World" had already broken out of its niche, causing the forum for the entire game to become incredibly lively.

Having first-hand intel could quickly establish her advantage as an information broker in the game.

Whether it was making a bit of extra cash on the side, enhancing the value of the account known as Overfishing, or even contributing to her real-life job, these were all good options.

She swore with the little integrity she had left from her years in the industry that this game would explode in popularity upon open beta!

It was just that when Kael revealed the target customers for their promotion, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

Why would it be here?!
