As more guests started to arrive inside the tavern, it was time for the Innkeeper to start collecting entrance fees. He could have opted for an automated system and have the system collect the resources, but then they would be converted into MT or something of that sort, and these resources were much too difficult to come by to waste in converting to MP.
Fortunately, Lex had already planned things out. After all, he wasn't the only one who needed to get paid. For a brief time, he considered letting Wu Kong collect the payments on his behalf, but Lex stopped himself.
No matter what, he mustn't forget that he was a Dao Lord, and couldn't be treated like a lackey. Also, due to his inclination for theft, Lex didn't want to risk putting him in close proximity to all his treasure. If could even fake attempting to join the Inn just to get out of trouble with Ventura, who knows what he would fake with the Innkeeper?
