The next day, the hungover Liu Luoluo got up early despite her headache and went about her routine “devotion” of flattering, oh no, praying to the gods. She tried hard for over an hour without any response and was utterly confused.

It was only when she opened the Territory Internal Network feeling gloomy and looking for some relaxation that she saw the private message Mu Ying had “kindly” sent her.

It included every blasphemous word she had uttered while drunk the night before, without missing a single one.

It’s over! Liu Luoluo’s eyes glazed over, and her scalp tingled.

But this wasn’t the first time, as she always spoke the truth when drunk.

Now that she knew the reason, she might as well repent honestly! Ten days to half a month should be enough for the gods to cool down.

At that moment, Mu Ying was browsing the World Forum, where her post from the previous day finally received a response that seemed to come from Lords, and not just one.

“I am Aleksey, Lord of Canter Town, and we are willing to collaborate with Qingshan City on the Cross-Regional Transfer Array.

Initially, Qingshan City will fund the construction entirely, even after Canter Town covers half the cost of the Transmission Array, Qingshan City can still enjoy all the revenues from the Array for an additional year.

I only have one request, help me find my brother who’s lost in the wilderness. I fear if he gets lost any further, he might turn into a Wild Man!

By the way, I forgot to mention, my brother is the well-known Draco, who has been lost in the Beastman Wilderness for half a year now. —Aleksey, Lord of Canter Town”

“Maz Town is willing to collaborate with any city by funding half of the project, especially with Qingshan City, I really want to try out your test house, and I’m also very interested in the Trial Takers Trading Fair. If you come and I’m researching Spells, please contact my political officer and wait. —Maz”

These two replies, one long and the other short, one urgent and the other calm.

Replies signed by Lords in muddy waters weren’t uncommon, but these two were the hottest.

The former seemed like the Lord himself had asked people from his own territory to support the post, and it was quite sincere, mentioning the relationship between the Lord of Canter Town and Draco for the first time.

The latter had also activated the Territory Internal Network and posted messages under real name, making it quite credible.

Canter Town is one of the two territories in Bear Country with a Lord, although its development level is a bit behind the other City-level Territory, Kajiatan City.

Canter Town and Maple Town were originally Mu Ying’s top choices for collaboration territories.

Since the Lord of Canter Town had already extended an invitation with such generous terms, all she had to do was help bring Draco out of the wilderness.

She was planning on checking it out herself anyway.

It was said that Bear Country was previously all Beastman Replicas, and due to its large Beastman population, which thrived in the barren wilderness with a not insignificant aggressiveness, it posed a substantial threat to humans in terms of numbers.

Below this response, there was also a reply that seemed to be from Draco himself.

“Bro, you’re being a bit stingy, aren’t you? I don’t even know where I am, and others haven’t met me, finding me is a wild goose chase, isn’t it? Even if it works, it won’t be simple, isn’t a year of profits too short? —Draco”

“Bro, I’m the world’s second-ranked, don’t I deserve some face? —Draco”

“Bro, I love the wilderness, the wilderness is my home, and there are cute Beastman girls, I don’t want to come out! —Draco”

“The person above, that’s too much, Beastman girls aren’t what you think, they are more beast than human! —Draco”

...

Mu Ying couldn’t really tell which one was him.

However, this didn’t matter; once she went to Canter Town to get some news or spell casting materials from Aleksey, she would surely find him using the Detecting Skill.

He was a Barbarian, not a profession specialized in Perception; his Level was even lower than hers by one, making him easier to probe than Sharon.

If all else failed, there was still the Blessing Magic.

Mu Ying had never doubted her ability to find someone.

The invitation from Mazi City, however, was unexpected.

Maz truly was a spell research fanatic. If Mu Ying felt there was another lord in any territory who could travel across mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas to build Transmission Arrays as quickly as she could, it would be Maz.

The mage’s magic was the richest, with many means; it was normal for a trialist to have long-distance travel methods.

But his post seemed to convey no desire to spend time traveling far to build Transmission Arrays.

Being willing to collaborate with all territories was open to all comers.

And choosing to only share costs by half also indicated they still had some savings; speaking openly without rejection, they must have at least 4500 Gold Coins in savings.

It was a wealthy territory as well.

So here they were, wealthy and capable, yet completely lacking any proactive strategy to compete with other territories.

Mu Ying now understood even more profoundly Maz’s fanatic dedication to research and disregard for external affairs.

Perhaps for him, the rewards from the city-level territory competition were less appealing than a fresh spell!

Under this reply post, many people from Maz Town expressed their frustration openly.

But this was a great thing for Mu Ying, meaning one more collaborator and one less competitor.

Perhaps such pure-hearted individuals could go further in their professional paths. After all, he deserved to devote all his energy to studying and researching magic, needing his concubines only when he wanted to relax and decompress — who were, in fact, the real managers of the territory.

Mu Ying admired his dedication and obsession with magic, but she couldn’t agree with his private life. However, it was a consensual affair, and since he gave those women enough and there was no coercion, she wouldn’t comment further.

All in all, working together was still very beneficial.

With these two replies, Mu Ying immediately had her next plan; she intended to first go to Canter Town, then to Mazi City.

In terms of distance, Mazi City was farther; it required a sea crossing. For Canter Town, she could teleport directly to the Su Mu Camp near the border of the Xia Country region and continue north, reaching into the Bear Country territory in no time.

She packed some supplies and was ready to set off that day.

Now, Sky Square no longer had the Territory Notice Board, but instead, various Transmission Arrays.

Wanting to keep the Cross-Regional Transfer Array separate from the internal long-distance Transmission Arrays, she had rebuilt a dual-level transmission plaza, placing the smaller cross-regional arrays on the upper level and the larger, later-to-be-expanded regional long-distance arrays on the lower level.

After setting this up, she stepped onto the transmission array to Su Mu Camp.

During this period, the traffic from various camps to Qingshan City was still quite high, with several groups arriving daily, but very few went from Qingshan City to the lower camps.

Unable to gather a group, Mu Ying chose to teleport alone.

In a moment of dizziness, she moved from the autumn of Qingshan City to the already-winter in Su Mu Camp.
