Chapter 441: 425 Kajiatan CityChapter 441: Chapter 425 Kajiatan City

As the sky began to lighten, Mu Ying, carrying a large backpack, made her way through the dense forest and onto the small path outside.

This path was trodden by players coming in and out of Wulan Camp, and there was still a bit of snow on the road, making it slightly muddy.

It was still early, and there were hardly any people in the square of Wulan Camp, let alone at the Transmission Array that led to Kajiatan City.

However, the bakery next to the square was bustling, with quite a few players going in to buy breakfast.

Mu Ying hadn’t had breakfast either, so she went in and bought a ham and fried meat sandwich. When she came out, a girl in a fur coat with messy short hair called out to her, “Hey, I see you carrying luggage, are you planning to take the Transmission Array to Kajiatan?”

Mu Ying remained calm on the surface as she shook her head, but inside she was thrilled. Finally, she could mention the identity background she had prepared.

Seeing her shake her head, Palmino looked somewhat disappointed, but then she heard Mu Ying speak in Universal Language, “Sorry, I’m from Xia Country, and my Bear Country language isn’t very good. I didn’t understand what you just said.”

Palmino had initially approached her simply because she was carrying a lot of luggage and assumed she wanted to take the Transmission Array but hadn’t taken a good look at her appearance. Now she noticed Mu Ying’s black hair and black eyes.

Palmino guessed that Mu Ying could be from either Xia Country or Neon, perhaps a tourist from before the apocalypse. Quickly coming to terms with this, Palmino repeated her question in the Universal Language.

This time Mu Ying nodded, “I’m heading to Kajiatan City, and then I’ll detour to Canter Town.”

“That’s great!” Palmino was especially happy upon hearing this. “We’ve been gathering people for two days, and we’ve only managed to get nine. With you joining us, we can share the cost for the cheapest rate of transmission!”

“Really? Am I that lucky to come at just the right time?” Mu Ying was also pleased. It would be best to go directly to Kajiatan, as Wulan Camp wasn’t too important for her.

Palmino took Mu Ying to a small establishment on the side street that functioned as both a tavern and an inn, “We’ve all been staying here these past few days. I’ll go upstairs and call them!”

Mu Ying nodded and ordered a hot milk as she sat by the tavern’s stove, eating her breakfast and waiting for them.

They were all staying at the inn, so it would probably take a while to pack up their luggage.

True enough, they only came down after she had nearly finished her breakfast.

“Ying Mu! Everyone’s here, let’s go!”

Mu Ying had no objections; Ying Mu was her alias when she was abroad.

Coming down from the inn, there were five men and four women. Four men and three women seemed to be a group, probably a team, while Palmino was on her own, and there was also a black-haired, black-eyed man who was not very tall and appeared to be around thirty years old.

“This is Mucun, he’s from Neon. Like you, he needs to take a detour to Canter Town, so you can team up with him later on your journey,” Palmino introduced them to each other.

“Oh? Mr. Mucun, why not choose to settle in Kajiatan City, which has better development prospects?” Mu Ying asked curiously, as most people aimed for higher-tier territories, didn’t they?

“I heard that Qingshan City and Canter Town are going to open a Transmission Array, and I plan to wait there. Then I’ll take the array to Qingshan City, and finally, when Qingshan City opens a Transmission Array with Neon, I’ll return to my hometown,” Mucun explained. “What about you, Miss Ying? Why are you going to Canter Town?”

Mu Ying: “...”

It was frustrating; his reason was exactly the same as the excuse she had prepared!

To agree with him would make her reason seem insincere, so in an effort to appear more genuine she asked, “Mr. Mucun, you wouldn’t also be a tourist who came to Bear Country before the apocalypse, would you?”

This “also” was quite clever, implying she was a tourist from before the apocalypse, using a similar reason to choose Canter Town.

“I was dispatched here for work,” Mucun replied, “So we can look out for each other then.”

These were all just pleasantries.

Mu Ying exchanged niceties briefly, fitting into this small group for a moment, as they all made their way to the Transmission Array.

There were actually two other people waiting at the Transmission Array, also aiming to share the cost of the trip.

Luckily, Palmino had found her beforehand; otherwise, Mu Ying would have either had to wait two days to gather enough people for a group transmission or spend more money to take the array alone.

Of course, taking the array by herself wouldn’t match her current disguised identity; the difference between 2 silver coins and 10 was not something everyone was willing to part with.

Yes, the transmission fees were slightly different between Bear Country and Qingshan City.
