I Live on the Land in Global Games

Chapter 414 - 414 402 Expensive Foreign Aid414: Chapter 402: Expensive Foreign Aid 414: Chapter 402: Expensive Foreign Aid [You, as Mu Ying in the role of a trial character in the Emerald World, participated in a major historical event and obtained Source Power × 1000, Consciousness Fragment of the world × 1]

After hearing the cause and effect, Mu Ying received another fragment.

With this fragment, she now had six fragments in total.

When she assembled these six fragments together, it was easy to see that only the upper left and upper right corners still had gaps.

It meant that Mu Ying just needed to find two more fairy tales to successfully complete the entire blank consciousness of the world.

The exploration of the Emerald World was entering its latter stages, and Mu Ying felt both happy and somewhat reluctant; this world held significant meaning for her.

The gains were not only substantial in terms of ability and material but, more critically, the purification and relaxation it brought to her spirit were truly rare!

However, for the last two fairy tales, Mu Ying still had no clues, and she would have to search carefully thereafter.

This success in obtaining a fragment showed that Prince Toad hadn’t lied.

Considering he hadn’t been tricky, and had just experienced a heartbreak, Mu Ying let him go and stopped controlling him in such a dangerous manner.

But the matter wasn’t finished, why could all the toads here talk?

And there was an existence like Prince Toad who could transform into a human.

With no traces of magic, it was truly hard not to be curious.

“Does this well have any other entrances?” Mu Ying asked.

Having just been let down, Prince Toad breathed a sigh of relief, though only half relieved, thinking he had escaped one disaster, only to find this terrifying witch targeting his home next, stuttering, “The well... inside the well there’s just a small pool, nothing... there isn’t anything...”

Mu Ying’s Magic Wand rose again.

“There are no other entrances!” Prince Toad hurriedly said.

Mu Ying looked meaningfully at the well; she was determined to take a look inside.

Since these toads still had to live here, if she broke the well’s entrance, people in the Royal Palace would certainly notice and cause unnecessary trouble for them.

A talking toad could be explained as a curse from a witch, but a bunch of talking toads would make even a fool suspect something was amiss.

If this were in reality, she would be able to use Wild Transformation to turn into a small animal to sneak in or use the Stone Shaping Technique to widen the entrance a bit, then restore it later; the space below this well was still large enough to accommodate a person.

Unable to enter without damaging the well entrance, her only option was to ask for outside help.

The horrified Prince Toad watched as the terrifying witch pulled out a flower, fiddled with its bud, and then, astonishingly, the flower emitted a voice!

“Hello?” Yiyeta’s groggy, nasal voice came through.

“100 Gold Coin as a reward, help me out, will you come?” Mu Ying cut straight to the chase.

Among her acquaintances, apart from Tana who was still in school, there was only Yiyeta, the Orange Witch, who specialized in Earth Magic and was the right choice for matters related to stones.

Yiyeta had just returned from a tavern, half-drunk, sleeping soundly with her head on the counter, incidentally answering the Dingling Flower call, but her ears, now keenly alert, caught the crucial phrase “100 Gold Coin reward,” jolting her half awake, and she even used ant-drunk magic to sober herself completely.

“Did I hear that right?

One hundred Gold Coin?”

“Yes, Golden Ball Kingdom, the Royal Palace’s back garden, help me with a small favor, can you come overnight?”

Mu Ying’s asking price was very high.

The profits from Yiyeta’s half-year operation of her shop at the bottom of the sea might not even amount to this much, but considering she was asking someone to travel such a distance overnight, it wouldn’t be right not to offer a substantial reward.

“No problem, give me two hours!

Oh no, make that one and a half hours!” Yiyeta agreed without hesitation.

Turning down money would be foolish, and besides, the Golden Ball Kingdom was by the seacoast, even closer than Moon Port.

She was known as one of the fastest broom racers among the Orange Witches!

Prince Toad trembled in despair, sobbing silently.

It was all over.

One witch was scary enough, but with another on the way, his homeland was surely doomed!

Why had he foolishly lied about being cursed by a witch?

Now he had really stirred up a hornet’s nest.

He felt sorry for his subjects, sobbing miserably.

Mu Ying was intrigued to see Prince Toad cry for the first time.

She watched curiously for a while before finally finding some compassion to console him, “Don’t worry, I won’t harm you or your kingdom.”

“Really...

really?” Prince Toad asked hopefully.

“If I really wanted to harm you, why would I need to call someone else?

I could just seal the well entrance or excavate it, couldn’t I?

My concern is that humans might discover your country.

A whole community of talking toads, how peculiar!

It’d be strange if they didn’t capture you for soup!

I’m just curious about how you can speak and your ability to transform into a human.

I want to take a look inside without alarming humans,” said Mu Ying, not mincing her words.

Prince Toad sighed with relief.

As long as they weren’t trying to destroy his homeland, he was fine with them having a look.

Given how powerful the witch seemed, she probably had no reason to deceive him.

He even began to feel somewhat fond of this terrifying witch, “Are all witches like you?

You don’t seem all that bad.”

“Of course, that’s because the stories you’ve heard are written by humans.

In our witch stories, humans are the evil and greedy ones!” Mu Ying was no longer surprised by the long-standing misrepresentation of witches.

Before long, Yiyeta arrived precisely on time.

Upon arriving, she immediately spotted the Flying Carpet above the palace and rode directly up to it, jumping on.

Prince Toad, frightened, hid behind Mu Ying.

“So, what do you need me to do?” Yiyeta asked Mu Ying, not the least bit curious about why she was there at this time; witches don’t like to meddle in others’ affairs.

“I want to check out that well, but I don’t want to damage the entrance.

I need you to enlarge the opening so I can go down and take a look.

Then, when I come back, you can restore it,” said Mu Ying.

Yiyeta leaned over to inspect the well, “Just this?

For a hundred Gold Coins?”

Mu Ying nodded.

After being neighbors for so long, she trusted Yiyeta and paid her upfront.

It was as if she were declaring, yes, the big spender is right here, come and take advantage!

Yiyeta gained a deeper appreciation of Mu Ying’s wealth, “If you have any more work like this in the future, just call me.

Across the continent, mission accomplished!”

“...” Mu Ying was awkwardly embarrassed by her slogan, silly enough, “Don’t worry, after I find a place to settle down, I might indeed need your help building a house.

I guarantee the payment will be good!”

“Alrighty!” Yiyeta loved working for such big spenders.

Helplessly, the well entrance widened under Yiyeta’s magic.

One couldn’t help but remark that witches are seriously specialized, always profoundly skilled in one area but completely clueless in others.

The Orange Witch was excellent with earth and stones but hopeless with plants.

The green witch could perform wonders with plants but was useless with stones.
