I Live on the Land in Global Games

Chapter 164 - 164 163 Qingshan—Luoxia164: Chapter 163 Qingshan—Luoxia 164: Chapter 163 Qingshan—Luoxia “Let’s set up the Transmission Array right here!”

It was already the next morning, and Mu Ying, along with the Luoxia Team, came to the central square in their territory, where Li Luoxia circled a spot and said.

Mu Ying nodded and buried the other half of the Transmission Array Plate that had been prepared in advance.

A round stone platform with ancient engravings rose, and the Transmission Array was activated.

Li Luoxia built a stone stele next to the transmission platform.

[Transmission Array: Luoxia Village — Qingshan Town]

[Single Use Capacity: 10 people]

[Cost: 10 silver coins/usage, 1 silver coin/person when fully loaded, if less, the difference should be shared]

A wooden sign with the same text also appeared in front of the Long-distance Transmission Array in Qingshan Town.

This had all been agreed upon the night before between Mu Ying and Li Luoxia.

There were several territories that had recently been upgraded to town level, but none had a Transmission Array set up.

The cost of transmission was something Mu Ying had considered before setting it up.

The energy consumption of each use of the Long-distance Transmission Array was hundreds of times that of the Short-range Teleportation Array.

A single person’s transmission required at least 100 energy points, and the energy consumption increased with each additional person.

If 10 people transmitted when fully loaded, it would take about 500 energy points in total.

The price couldn’t be lower; the strategy of small profits and high volume wasn’t an option.

1 silver coin per usage was a bit expensive for players, but not unaffordable.

Normally, players could save up enough for the transmission fee in a month, and those with more disposable income could do it even more easily.

At the same time, Mu Ying stood to earn a lot from this.

The frequency of use for the Long-distance Transmission Array might not be very high, but each time it was used, Mu Ying would net around 5 silver coins in profit.

“Let’s go, I’ll cover the travel expenses this time,” Mu Ying said to Li Luoxia and the others, as they had agreed last night to accompany her back to Qingshan Town today to observe and learn.

“Of course, you rich tycoon, you’ve got money to burn,” Li Luoxia teased.

“I’m only covering the ticket there, you’re on your own for the return!

This Transmission Array has drained our territory’s savings, now I’m counting on you guys to help us recover,” Mu Ying exaggerated.

“Don’t worry, we’ve brought enough money, and we’ll definitely contribute to Qingshan Town’s income,” Li Luoxia said, somewhat annoyed.

Mu Ying laughed heartily, “That’s the spirit!”

While other players were still watching and waiting, Mu Ying and her team took the lead and stepped onto the Transmission Array.

“Welcome everyone to come and visit Qingshan Town!”

Just before transmission, Mu Ying called out loudly to the people outside the Array, giving her territory one last advertisement.

The onlookers saw the people on the stone platform enveloped in light, and when the light went out, they had disappeared.

“Whoa!

They’ve teleported away just like that?”

“Our Luoxia Village actually has a Transmission Array now!”

“It’s just that the fee’s a bit steep, I’ll have to save up.”

“1 silver coin, I can afford that.

Is there anyone else who wants to try?

Let’s group up!”

“Over here, this way!”

“Ah!

I remember now, she’s Mu Ying, the Lord of Qingshan Town, not an NPC!”

...

The players from Luoxia Village began discussing amongst themselves.

Some formed teams immediately, intending to teleport as soon as they gathered enough people, while others were determined to save up enough money to try.

There were also those who had mistaken Mu Ying for an NPC the night before and had now come to a realization.

At this moment, Mu Ying only felt a bit dizzy.

The sensation was similar to when she was first admitted to the Witch Academy and had been teleported to the school by that letter, except it lasted a little longer this time.

It took her almost a minute before she felt solid ground beneath her feet again.

“Ugh~” Xiong Gang was the first to cover his mouth; he had eaten too much that morning.

The others were not faring much better; Xiao Xi almost fell over, Li Luoxia and Lin Zhixiu were pale, Wu Qingshan was pursing his lips tightly, a sign he was feeling uncomfortable, and the best off was Li Luori, who only staggered a bit before steadying himself.

Having experienced it once before, Mu Ying quickly acclimated.

In Qingshan Town, players who noticed a new teleportation array in the Sky Square had gathered around the stone platform, but a barrier of light prevented them from approaching, indicating the transmission array was in operation and off-limits.

Since no one from Qingshan Town had teleported, it must have been someone from Luoxia Village.

They were curious to see who it would be, and as the light barrier dissipated, they saw several figures emerge, one of whom looked very familiar.

“The Lord?”

All the players in Qingshan Town were filled with question marks.

Just two or three days ago, their lord was basking with a small turtle in Moon Lake; how did she end up in Luoxia Town in the blink of an eye?

It was utterly baffling.

That Zhou Hongfei from Feihong Town, who was said to have been out for nearly a week, hadn’t even shown his face yet, but their lord had already visited Luoxia Village and set up the transmission array.

Now, no one worried about their lord being at a disadvantage; instead, they were concerned that Zhou Hongfei might spit blood if he found out about this.

“Hey, what are you all crowding here for?

Zhou Hongfei and his group are about to arrive!

Has anyone seen the lord today?

Hurry and send her a message!”

Old Mao, out of breath, shouted from outside the crowd.

He and his lads had set out today to catch some Fire-breathing Chickens but ran into a team at the fork in the stone path to Chunan Camp.

Those people even asked them for directions!

Old Mao, being clever, recognized that their carriage wasn’t something you’d find in Chunan.

Sure enough, he overheard them quietly referring to the person inside the carriage as the Lord.

Aside from Zhou Hongfei, who could be so flamboyant as the Lord coming to Qingshan Town?

He was grateful to Mu Ying for not discriminating against them after they corrected their mistakes, and when they were caught by a Ghoul last time and asked her for help, she had avenged them promptly.

As a man who used to be not quite right in his ways and had dabbled in the underworld, Old Mao knew all too well how evil some people could be.

Unlike those who were openly bad, he worried not for Mu Ying being deceived — the memory of her decisive lashing was still fresh in his mind, and he didn’t consider her someone soft-hearted.

But he was concerned that Mu Ying, a young woman, couldn’t see through those who seemed upright on the surface but were rotten to the core underneath, so he rushed back to warn her.

When he entered the territory and saw the throngs of people at Sky Square, he had no idea what they were up to and no clue where to find Mu Ying, so he had no choice but to shout out his questions.

Mu Ying and her group had just come out of the teleportation, and the surrounding players were still intently watching, too distracted to respond.

Old Mao’s shout was quite timely; it was loud enough to make everyone turn around, giving him surprised looks.

“Eh?

I just ran too fast, got a bit winded, and spoke loudly, is that a reason to stare?” Old Mao was confused.

But everyone tacitly made way for him and pushed him to the front of the transmission array.

Old Mao glanced at the wooden sign, then at the Lord on the stone platform, and murmured, “Shura Field.”

Mu Ying, just having teleported, hadn’t heard Old Mao’s shout clearly and asked curiously, “What Shura Field?”

Old Mao shook his head and only managed to say, “Zhou Hongfei and his group are nearly here.”
