Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 447: Chapter 234: The Inheritance Trial Begins

”Hey, the boss is always busy.”

Luoning rested her chin on one hand while casually flipping through the book beside her with the other, her gaze sweeping over the text with a somewhat bored expression.

”That’s great, isn’t it? This way, the capitalist won’t be picking on me every day.” Aileen took a bite of a fruit and replied somewhat unclearly.

Their master was saying something under the Tree of Life, and the backyard of the City Lord’s Mansion appeared very harmonious.

Luoning glanced at her, then continued flipping the pages, looking thoughtful: ”Sister Aileen, have you noticed, you seem to have changed a bit?”

”Hmm?” Aileen turned her head, somewhat surprised: ”Really? Where? Is it because the capitalist hasn’t been around and I’m in a good mood?”

”No.” Luoning shook her head, turned a page, and looking at the knowledge above, spoke lightly: ”You almost killed a sapling of the Tree of Life.”

”Ah... that...” Aileen’s eyes darted around.

Uncertainly, she said: ”Wasn’t that an accident? I just wanted those saplings to grow faster. The Tree of Life cultivation manual said the Tree of Life doesn’t have seasons, its leaves should always be a vibrant green, yet that sapling’s leaves were already wilting, so I...”

”You weren’t like this before.” Luoning looked at the text, her tone light: ”You know your attributes as a Curse Doctor, and you cannot guarantee that the next batch of life energy won’t become highly poisonous.”

Aileen was silent for a moment before reverting to her usual demeanor: ”Haha, I’ll be careful next time, definitely.”

”You...”

”Oh, don’t say anymore, let’s go, a huge entertainment center has opened up here, you haven’t been there yet, let’s go... have some fun.” Aileen interrupted Luoning, dragging her along.

”Eh... Don’t, I still have to...”

”Master, I’m going out with Luoning to have fun....”

Aisha and Mina glanced over, shook their heads helplessly. If these two could switch identities, everything would seem normal, but now... peculiar Moonlight Elves.

”Every time I see this street view, I marvel at how fast the world has developed, I barely recognize Dongwu City anymore.” Aileen led Luoning through the streets and alleys to a bustling avenue.

Although it was clearly daytime, the neon and projections made everything a bit dazzling.

Here and there a mechanical ”Welcome” or robotic voice would introduce a product, it had a futuristic city vibe.

This was all thanks to Alchemy, with over a hundred thousand Alchemists in this city, making it the place with the most Dawn Alchemists.

The top potential of Alchemy was here, they all came with longing.

These Alchemists were special, whether through official departments or private organizations, they were likely to be accepted.

Even if they didn’t register, opening an Alchemy Workshop or Potion Shop in Dongwu City would benefit from policy incentives.

After the video of a million army failing to set foot in Dongwu City spread out, safety wasn’t a concern for outsiders anymore.

That’s the main reason Dongwu City’s population is so large.

Aileen took a deep breath, nostrils filled with a faint metallic scent and the body odor of Beastmen.

The joy on her face suddenly vanished: ”They really don’t have any greenery, dammit, are they refusing elves from staying? I must file a complaint!”

Being pulled along, Luoning didn’t refuse anymore, actually wanting to go out for fun. After completing her daily cultivation tasks, she liked to daydream at the Lake Heart Pavilion, pondering... about her future.

Now that she was out and seeing such prosperity, her eyes gradually lit up.

Despite everything, she was just a thirteen-year-old child at heart, with a natural inclination for fun, just like the snowmen that filled the City Lord’s Mansion’s backyard half a year ago.

”Sister Aileen, where is this place you mentioned?” Luoning looked around, somewhat dazzled, her voice filled with enthusiasm.

”Don’t rush, let’s wait.” Aileen said, taking out her phone to operate it.

About thirty seconds later, a sleek unmanned car appeared before them, and using the Dawn Badge to pay, they got in.

[Dear passengers, destination: Dongwu Entertainment, we are ready to depart.]

As the mechanical voice sounded, the seatbelt automatically extended, securing them, and the vehicle silently moved away.

Luoning was stunned: ”Uh? There’s no driver? Didn’t it used to require a driver?”

Aileen tapped the front seatback a couple of times, used the Dawn Badge to pay, and two bottles of milk appeared, handing one to Luoning.

She drank and answered: ”No idea, since about a month ago it hasn’t needed a driver. It’s said an Alchemist unified the taxis and started some company using AI for overall management.”

Luoning half-understood: ”Won’t it bump into people? It’s going so fast.”

No sooner had Luoning spoken than the vehicle ahead suddenly braked, a fine shield appeared in an instant, stopping the car immediately, yet within this shield, the passengers felt no inertia, not even spilling the milk in their hands.

”Hey, see? It stopped just fine, didn’t it?” Aileen sighed: ”Technology is still useful. If the greenery is improved and more trees are planted, Dongwu City will definitely attract lots of elves.”

”There are already a lot of elves now.” Luoning observed the diverse people along the roadside, mostly Humans and Beastmen, but Elves, Catmen, and other races were also common sights.
