I Live on the Land in Global Games

Chapter 165 - 165 164 Checking into the Hotel165: Chapter 164: Checking into the Hotel 165: Chapter 164: Checking into the Hotel Old Mao felt very calm now.

All the worries that had made him rush back had disappeared, and there was even a bit of anticipation.

What a brilliant move by Mu Ying!

She was definitely guarding against Zhou Hongfei, silently blocking his path.

The people of her territory had underestimated her.

“Oh?

What a coincidence?” Mu Ying was also surprised, glancing at Li Luoxia, “So, will we be meeting three territories today?”

Li Luoxia put an arm around Mu Ying’s shoulder, “Shall we go meet him?”

“No rush, let me introduce everyone first.”

Mu Ying addressed the residents of her territory saying, “This is Li Luoxia, the Lord of Luoxia Village.

You must have all heard about her.

The second-ranked Priest on the leaderboard, and these are her teammates from the Luoxia Team, all Level 3.

They are here to observe and learn from our territory.

Feel free to interact with them when you’re free.”

The people of Qingshan Town were no strangers to this name.

Li Luoxia and Mu Ying could be considered the most legendary women in the Xia Country Region.

A widow in her thirties with a child and a teenager who hadn’t even graduated high school were surpassing many able-bodied young adults on the leaderboard—it simply defied science.

Seeing this, it seemed these two unimaginably extraordinary women had a very good relationship.

If the two of them teamed up, then...

I wonder if Zhou Hongfei, a Level 3, 89% Mage, would be able to withstand it?

Although his record on the leaderboard was remarkable, often comparable to Huo Shaobai, and far surpassing Mu Ying and Li Luoxia, they all knew very well the weight of Mu Ying, a Level 5 Druid of Qingshan Town.

She was no pushover.

Suddenly, many people were eager to see how things would unfold.

Although the players of Qingshan Town were amazed at these two women’s lead in their professions, admiration prevailed.

The apocalypse had somehow made gender relations more equitable.

In the face of survival, actual strength mattered most.

Underestimating someone just because she was a woman could lead to a swift demise.

This was common knowledge among the players of Qingshan Town.

They had already seen from Mu Ying that strong women could be truly formidable, and men had nothing to do with it.

Therefore, the players of Qingshan Town weren’t like some people on the forums who underestimated top-ranked women on the leaderboard, or thought their high rankings were unmerited because their performance on the leaderboard wasn’t great.

Instead, they were even more cautious.

Now that Li Luoxia had a good relationship with their Lord, it meant a powerful alliance for their territory, and thus, they enthusiastically welcomed the members of the Luoxia Team.

Some were more forward and had already started making small talk with the members of the Luoxia Team who had just arrived through the Transmission Array.

Mu Ying had jokingly mentioned a meeting of three territories, but she made no move to greet Zhou Hongfei and his group.

It was said they had a carriage, and the mountainous steps were tough to navigate, so it would take some time for them to arrive, besides, there was no need to be overly enthusiastic.

She then led Li Luoxia and the others along the aerial path, planning to take them to the hotel first to settle their accommodations.

The members of the Luoxia Team looked around curiously.

Whenever they lingered a bit longer at a spot, players from Qingshan Town were eager to boast, or rather, provide an introduction.

Those quick with their words seized the chance to present, talking animatedly, while the ones who were slow prepared silently for the next chance to show off.

“Wow!

There’s a puppy!” Li Xihe pointed at a small wolf biting its tail under a tree not far away.

Someone immediately responded, “That’s not a puppy, it’s a Sky Wolf cub, just born not long ago, and just turned one month old.

There’s a whole Wolf Pack in the territory, all brought back by the Lord.

They’re quite smart and also part of the territory; they even have Identity Cards!”

“Sky Wolves are Magic Beasts, each with a Storage Space.

When you encounter them hunting outside, you can even pay them a bit to help transport stuff.

I did just that last time,” someone took the chance to add.

“In the territory, there are also two Jumping Rabbits listed as mounts for work.

Have you ever seen Jumping Rabbits?

No?

Let me tell you, their fur is so nice to touch.

Where did they come from?

Brought back by the Lord, of course!

Our Lord has an exceptional affinity with animals.

Not only are there a brood of Jumping Rabbits at the Breeding Camp, but there are also Petrified Lizards and Fire-breathing Chickens, all Magic Beasts.

If you haven’t seen them, no worries.

For one copper coin, you can be transported to the Breeding Camp immediately.

Bro, want me to take you there?”

Cheng Wei also found out that the Luoxia Team had a level 3 Mage and quietly came over, patting Lin Zhixiu on the shoulder, “Mage?

Want to exchange spells?”

This was a new money-saving method popular among Mages who couldn’t afford Gold Coins.

It originated from a Mage-centric post in a forum.

As prices for buying spells were tough to meet, some tried exchanging spells with other Mages.

However, written communications on the forum were unclear and hard to verify if real or fake.

Most people looked for nearby Mages to exchange with, or intentionally learned different ones, then shared.

Cheng Wei had exchanged spells with Jie Gong, a Mage from Huo Shaobai’s team.

Li Luoxia, looking at the bustling scene by her teammates, sighed, “The people of Qingshan Town are really enthusiastic!”

“Do you like it?” Mu Ying asked.

“I do like it,” Li Luoxia genuinely liked not just these people but more so the pride they showed when talking about various things in Qingshan Town.

Sister Mu really managed Qingshan Town well, making her feel somewhat inadequate.

“If you like it, stay for a few more days, come often, and contribute a little more money to me,” Mu Ying said with a smile.

Li Luoxia gave her a speechless look, “I think you’re all about the money.”

Mu Ying spread her hands, “If you were to spend a hundred Gold Coins all at once, you’d feel the same as me.”

Li Luoxia: “...I really don’t know what to say to you.”

She seriously doubted that this penny-pincher in front of her wanted to drain her purse dry so she could never afford half a share of the Transmission Array.

Mu Ying truly felt a pressing sense of being out of money.

Before constructing the Transmission Array, she had spent months’ worth of savings, and even the house storing the territory’s income was emptied.

She still had an entire mineral distribution map and so many mining camps to build, direly in need of cash.

“Here we are, the Copper Coin Hotel, here it is,” Mu Ying led the way inside, “Boss Jiu San, you have business!”

“Ah!” Boss Jiu San, who was counting money behind the counter, came out with a smiling face.

“These are my good friends; you’d better take good care of them.

Don’t worry, they have money,” Mu Ying winked.

Understanding the hint, Boss Jiu San realized these were major clients, and his enthusiasm increased, “Come in!

We have single rooms, double rooms, small suites, large suites, luxury suites—many choices and the more you stay, the more discounts you get.

Suites even come with a Sela Restaurant Coupon and a Bruce Tavern Card Table Ticket, just see ...”

“Is this the host you specifically poached from another camp?

Quite interesting,” Li Luoxia whispered to Mu Ying.

Indeed quite interesting, she didn’t even know the hotel had started a joint ticket offer with the restaurant and tavern until now, which also surprised her.
