"It's actually easy to solve, it only takes a few months! After the spring opens, the kingdom will have a big war to fight! The viscount has an obligation to send troops, and by that time, he won't be able to control you! And you can also try to get the support of several knights and small nobles, in this way, you can completely undermine the viscount. If possible, it's best to get a title, then you can take over the entire Maple Leaf Territory in a legitimate way."

  "Unexpectedly, Arlington, who had always seemed like a roughneck, turned out to be so cunning in his plan - this is a move to seize power! However, Li You Ran didn't have such intentions, he just treated this place as a treasure trove, wanting to do business. But if the viscount doesn't know what's good for him, he wouldn't mind supporting someone else to replace him."

  "Whatever! I'm not interested in fighting for power and profit. You go tell him that investing is out of the question, at least for now. Of course, we can cooperate in the future if he agrees. If he doesn't, I'll have my ways to deal with him." Li You Ran didn't want to bother with trivial matters like quality control; she hadn't even enjoyed her life on earth yet!

  However, he was very satisfied with Ellington's statement. The main reason is that Li You Ran can see that Ellington's faith line has become brighter and brighter, and the faith line from Morton has also become brighter together with him. The original line that was about to break off not only became more condensed but also had a light that surpassed the previous few people.

  "I've taken the money, now it's up to you to solve the problem. This time I left you flour instead of finished bread. How to make it, I'll tell you. From now on, you need to make your own bread to sell. Do you have confidence?"

  Just thinking about facing the viscount's anger made Erlington somewhat timid, but he couldn't bear to part with the bread shop that was making a fortune, so he could only swallow his words and remain silent.

  "If you're really having a hard time, I won't force you! I'll make the bread for you and only charge you for the materials, without any profit. But in the future, if there's any other business, it won't involve you anymore. The road has two paths! Think carefully about which one to choose."

  Li You Ran gave the power of choice to Airington.

  It's really helpless, since only one can be chosen! Ellington can only choose what is beneficial to himself. After all, he is just an unhappy little knight under the viscount, who cares about his life or death? This time, with the grain shortage, no one has come to rescue him, nor has the viscount offered any relief. On the contrary, there was a prior agreement that those who failed to pay taxes would have to go to the front lines as vanguard, and if they didn't make achievements, they would either die or be completely ruined. If it's really like this, then even if he returns, won't the viscount still be in control, with no chance for resistance?

  A multitude of thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally, Ailington thought of the viscount's various actions towards herself. A surge of resentment rose to her head - why did they all have to intervene in good things? When she was almost starving to death, not one of them came to help! Today, she just wasn't going to take it anymore!

  "Fine! I'll stick with you then! I don't want any other business, as long as this bakery can still be run by me and carry on my family's tradition, I'm satisfied."

  "Don't worry! You won't regret it. In the future, when the bread shop opens and becomes a full-fledged empire, spanning the entire continent, you will be the richest knight. I guarantee it. Now go talk to the viscount, just say I said so. Don't worry, if he's not foolish enough, he won't dare do anything to you. After all, the ingredients and recipes are all with you, even if they're jealous, they can't do anything about it. The materials aren't provided by me, who can snatch them? Who dares to stretch out their claws will have them chopped off!"

  With Li You Ran's guarantee, Ellington confidently brought a large batch of flour and seasonings back to the city. He needed to produce bread as soon as possible so that there would be no shortage.

  After swindling Erlington, Li You Ran put down his heart and then flashed into the temple space. Looking at the pile of gold coins that had become a small mountain and some jewelry, Li You Ran's eyes had completely turned into copper coins, with nothing but money in his eyes.

  A tiger pounced onto the mountain of gold coins, and Li You Ran threw the gold coins into the sky, creating a rain of money. Li You Ran was overjoyed on the mountain of gold, rolling around in laughter. If the white tiger skin was a lucky coincidence, then the gemstone was an unexpected surprise, although this surprise was somewhat bitter. But when it came to the gold coins, that was the result of Li You Ran's business dealings!

  The return on investment is too high! It's even faster than robbing, bread with sausage! However, it's just a few hundred thousand yuan worth of goods, how many hundreds of thousands of yuan is this pile of gold coins? Li You Ran doesn't know, but he knows he has become rich and will get richer.

  After being amused for a while, Li You Ran finally calmed down his emotions. It was only then that he discovered the temple had undergone another change! The third room's door had opened, seemingly without anyone noticing! Had the temple leveled up again? How strange! What exactly were the rules governing this temple's leveling up? What conditions did it require? Each time it leveled up seemed like a stroke of good luck.

  Li You Ran walked into the third room, a flashing light ball instantly merged into Li You Ran's body. Li You Ran didn't even have time to react, fortunately there was no adverse reaction, only some memories were added in his mind.

  It turned out that this upgrade was because Erlinton and Morton's faith had reached a sufficient level of purity, plus the previous three people Zieg, John and Oak, a total of five believers, all reached the standard believer stage, so the temple upgraded, not only opened the third room! But also added two kinds of divine arts, one is spatial binding, and the other is secondary cutting.

  Spatial Bind is literally what it means, solidifying the space around an enemy so they can't move. It's a very practical control skill. On the other hand, Dimensional Slash is a skill that utilizes spatial rifts, like tearing through space to create massive suction and explosive force. Imagine a spatial rift opening up and someone getting sucked in - if they get pulled in completely, it's Spatial Flow Release. But if only half of them gets pulled in... The immense regenerative power of space will instantly repair the rift, leaving the person stuck in two halves. Is there even any chance of survival?

  One is a control skill! The other is a destructive skill! Absolutely two powerful skills! Li You Ran's blood was boiling with excitement, having been a mage for so long, he finally had some skills. To be honest, without some real power, it's hard to intimidate people. Now that's settled, that Viscount was sensible enough to back off, if not, then he would have had to show him his own strength.

  As for why the projection couldn't be used on Earth, Li You Ran finally understood that it was because his own strength wasn't enough to break through the space-time barrier. After all, the rules of two different planes were not the same! However, this problem has been solved now. Although he can only use a little more power for now, at least it's already enough for self-defense, and the Space-Time Temple can adapt to Earth's rules.

  Very satisfied with the current situation, Li You Ran took out a few gold coins and went out. After coming out, it was already evening, and she didn't go home but instead made a phone call to He Mei Li.

  "How beautiful! I need help now, can you help me?" Li You Ran said with a variety of helpless tones, of course, it was very obvious that he was pretending, and he was secretly laughing.

  "What's wrong! What happened to you? Did that Zhou Pi guy find you?" He Meili naturally felt a wave of worry, but immediately afterwards she spat out a single word from her mouth.

  "Ah! It's all because I'm worried about that Zhou Pi guy! I don't dare go home anymore! And hotels are too expensive to stay in! Do you think you could put me up? I promise I won't cause any trouble!"

  Got it! This guy is clearly messing with her, He Meili immediately got angry, what do you mean by guaranteeing not to mess around? If he came in, would he still not mess around? Clearly, he wanted to mess around! She didn't fall for it and sent him a single word: "Get out!"

  "Is anything wrong? If not, I'm hanging up!" He Meili's tone at this moment sounds like a spoiled child's tantrum, although she herself is unaware of it. It's obvious that Li You Ran, an emotional idiot, won't be able to pick up on it, or else he might have made his move and gone to her place tonight.

  "Alright, alright! Don't tease me! Are you free tomorrow? Li You Ran thought about what Pan Huazi said to him this afternoon, he felt it was right, he should package himself up. But as a pseudo-otaku with no taste, it's impossible for him to buy clothes, his work attire was still bought by his old mom! The whole set cost 1500 yuan! At that time, Li You Ran was shocked! He only thought it was really expensive and didn't think about the fact that this was already the cheapest price in the mall.

  It's all because his mother gritted her teeth and bought it for him so he wouldn't lose face! For this set of clothes, the whole family had to eat vegetarian meals for a week. Li You Ran was so fed up with green vegetables that she felt like vomiting every time she saw them. It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but his mother was heartbroken about spending money. However, for her son's sake, she had no choice but to buy it, and as a result, she cut back on their food expenses. In reality, cutting back on those expenses only saved a few dollars! Let alone a week, even if you save for three months, you might not be able to save 1,500 yuan.

  "You're at it again, I don't have anything else now, just a lot of time, all because of you, I want you to compensate me!" He Mei Li leaned against the window and scolded Li You Ran! But in her mind, she was thinking about that day when Li You Ran rushed into the abandoned factory alone to save her. At that time, she thought to herself, if only she had agreed earlier, at least her first time wouldn't have been taken away by those scum. Thinking about what happened after she woke up made her want to laugh, especially when she heard Li You Ran say he spent the whole night in the bathroom.

  He Meili couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Li You Ran on the other end of the phone was taken aback for a moment before saying: "What's so funny? If you have time tomorrow, let's go to the mall together! I have a surprise for you!"
