Ye Miao thought deeply about it for an entire afternoon, and finally decided that Chu Cheng's method was worth a try.

She really didn't want to alert the enemy, lest they prepare in advance. But then she thought, "preparation" wasn't something she could just do. Upgrading facilities and increasing combat power required resources, and resources weren't readily available. So even if the enemy learned of her plans and became more vigilant, their response would likely be limited.

Besides, in the apocalypse, everyone puts survival first, and the Red Maple Village is the kind of territory that has been accumulating combat power. As long as it can be done, all the improvements related to combat power have probably been done. It may not be easy to improve it further now.

Having made up his mind, Ye Miao sent a message to Chu Cheng, telling him that he could give it a try, but he still needed to think about how to do it specifically.

Chu Cheng replied: I can spread Xiaohao’s story first to see the response. If it works, I will continue. If it doesn’t, I will stop in time and not waste my efforts.

Ye Miao: That's fine, and maybe it'll spark some discussion. Not many people talked about this before, and the new members all went about their own business. If you spread the word about Xiaohao's story and get everyone talking, they might bring up their past experiences. Then, even if we don't do anything, everyone will learn about Red Maple Village.

Chu Cheng: That makes sense.

Ye Miao: "Thanks for your hard work!" followed by a cute smiling expression.

Chu Cheng: You're welcome. However, your current catering contract is about to expire. Would you like to renew it?

Ye Miao: "Continue!" After saying that, she thought for a while, took out 3050 gold coins, and then called Feng Xiaohao, asking him to give 3000 gold coins to Chu Cheng, and the remaining 50 was for running errands.

Liu Ying said that humans are social animals after all, and she could encourage Feng Xiaohao to go out more often and assign him some simple tasks. Feng Xiaohao used to get beaten for the slightest misstep in Red Maple Village, but now she wanted to let him know that the people here are normal and won't pick on him if he's told to do something. Ye Miao thought that made sense.

However, Chu Cheng actually lived in the villa next to Ye Miao, and the distance between the two gates was only about 20 to 30 meters. Feng Xiaohao was stunned after hearing what Ye Miao said. He looked at the gold coins in his hand and then at her, hesitantly said, "It's so close, the errand fee is 50...?"

It seems a bit outrageous.

Ye Miao realized it belatedly, and not wanting to give Feng Xiaohao the misconception that making money here was easy, he changed his tone and said, "Take it as a reward for a certain period of time, okay? Liu Ying said you've been working hard to adjust, so use it to buy yourself some snacks."

"...Thank you." Feng Xiaohao looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, but there was also a hint of a smile on his face. This was completely absent on the day he first arrived in the get-rich-quick town, but now it has improved a lot.

Feng Xiaohao ran out. Three minutes later, Chu Cheng sent another message: You have successfully renewed our VIP catering service, valid for 7 days. Thank you for your support.

Ye Miao raised his eyebrows and replied: TD.

Chu Cheng:?

"Haha." Ye Miao laughed twice at the chat box, closed the dialog box, then returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed, and opened the system panel of the territory.

Just as heat accumulated within the territory during previous periods of extreme heat, now that the snow and ice outside had persisted for three days, the territory had noticeably cooled down. Until yesterday, the massive bonfire in the square had still warmed the area within a dozen meters. Today, it had gotten so cold that unless you sat right next to it, you couldn't feel the heat within three or five meters.

As a result, the weather will definitely get even colder in the next few days. Although most players can prepare various food and clothes to keep warm, players with limited financial resources can only endure it.

Ye Miao flipped through the system's store panel and found a few cold-weather items, such as a hot water bottle, which cost 100 gold coins, and a heater, which cost 300 gold coins.

Ye Miao spent a huge amount of money to buy 100 of each, and then did not sell them directly in the grocery store. Instead, he went to the reception hall early the next morning to make an announcement.

[Ye Miao] To ensure everyone's safety during the winter, low-level players can apply to the territory to borrow cold-resistant supplies.

To apply for a loan, you must meet the following conditions:

1. Has joined Get Rich Overnight Town for less than 10 days (Friendly reminder: the system has a detailed query function, please do not falsely report);

2. Your total income after joining Get Rich Overnight is less than 800 gold coins (Friendly reminder: the system has a detailed query function, please do not falsely report);

3. A deposit of 100 gold coins is required to borrow a [hot water bottle], and a deposit of 300 gold coins is required to borrow a [stove]. A full refund will be given if the item is returned within 20 days.

If necessary, please find NPC [Da Zhuang] [Cui Hua] to apply.

After the announcement was issued, Ye Miao handed the two items to Dazhuang and Cuihua respectively.

Generally speaking, a mode lasts 15 days, and Ye Miao's 20-day limit is definitely sufficient. This way, poor players can get winter gear without spending money. If they can't even come up with 100 or 300 gold coins, they can go to the reception hall and apply for a loan. And for the territory, since there's a deposit equal to the cost, there's no need to worry about players selling their items for cash, which is a win-win for both parties.

As soon as the message was released, many players immediately went to find Dazhuang Cuihua.

Most of them are combat players who just joined the territory a while ago. Before they earned enough money to support their families, the new mode came. They can't find a few monsters after going out for a whole day, and they are too short of money to buy cold-resistant items.

Dazhuang and Cuihua put their items up for consignment at a grocery store in a residential area. A long line quickly formed in front of the store. A new member sighed as they waited in line, "I thought I'd just freeze to death and have to blame myself for my bad luck. I didn't expect there would be such a benefit."

"Yes, yes. In my previous territory, no one would care about our lives."

Even the veteran players who hadn't come to join in the fun were impressed: "Boss, you're getting more and more adept at managing your territory. All your new ideas are thoughtful and reliable. We feel at ease here."

"Yeah, unless there's an accident while killing monsters, which is force majeure, the boss won't watch his members die in vain."

"What do you call this? This is called a matter of life and death—oh my god, in the apocalypse, human life is actually the least valuable, right? To think there's still a place where people feel that 'human life is of paramount importance', our boss is like a god descended from heaven."

"Boss, when are you going to develop some volunteer projects? I also want to contribute to the territory. This territory deserves it!!!"

At the same time, many gathering players also found that combat players had a hard time these days. Thinking about the crazy beast tide a while ago, everyone's safe gathering depended entirely on the protection of combat players. Many gathering teams felt that it was time to give back.

So, actually, since the first day of the new mode, there have been a series of recruitment notices for gathering teams. Today is the third day, and because the territory has become noticeably colder and the environment has become more severe, the number of notices has suddenly increased.

The announcement released by Sun Chen is: Recruiting combat teams to protect the collection team. Commissions will be paid regardless of whether they encounter monster attacks or not. Wages are paid daily and prices are negotiable.

Qin Zhen, who had suffered from heat stroke before, was just an individual gathering player. He originally had no team, but he had been protected by the combat team. Now he issued an announcement within his ability, saying: Recruiting combat players who have not yet activated all five skill attributes to gather together. It is also okay if they have no gathering skills at all. The crops harvested every day will be divided equally.

Other teams also issued announcements one after another. Some, like Sun Chen and Qin Zhen, found work for the combat players. Some of them made up even cruder reasons, making it clear that they were willing to lend a helping hand to the combat players and even wanted to share the money directly.

For a while, recruitment messages like those from Sun Chen and Qin Zhen were easy to get responses. Later, those who simply wanted to share the money did not get many responses because the combat players were embarrassed. But in short, the atmosphere in the territory became more friendly.

Even the two business teams of Wang Yong and Ren Guoqing have started recruiting. Each team is recruiting a group of 10 people as bodyguards to do business together, with a daily salary of 50 gold coins and daily payment.

Ye Miao, who had been busy for two days helping everyone connect during the hot weather, was relieved to see these announcements and was able to devote more time and energy to planning the attack on Hongfeng Village.

In the evening, after delivering the takeaway, Chu Cheng took his lunch box and went out. He went to the square and sat by the campfire to eat.

Bonfires can speed up physical recovery and provide warmth. Advanced players have all kinds of resources and don't need to gather here, but small players are willing to come here. They save as much as they can and spend every gold coin wisely.

It was peak dining time, and even though the massive bonfire was over ten meters in diameter, it was still packed with people. Chu Cheng looked around silently, then found an empty spot to sit down. The player next to him was chatting with someone, "Hey, that's roast duck, right? Can you give me some? I'll trade it for Maoxuewang. It's all cold-resistant, I won't cheat you!"

The person who spoke was obviously very cautious, but the player next to him was an old member. He chuckled when he heard it and handed over the lunch box: "Okay, help yourself. No need to be so polite! I've eaten the Maoxuewang before, I don't want yours."

Chu Cheng ate his food and waited for them to talk. After they finished talking, he asked the one who spoke first: "If I remember correctly, you are from Hongfeng Village, right?"

The man turned around and saw that it was him. He was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, thanks to you for bringing people to pick us up, otherwise we probably wouldn't be able to get out."

Chu Cheng smiled and said, "Do you know Feng Xiaohao?"

"Feng Xiaohao?" The man hesitated. "...He sounds familiar, but I don't know him personally. What's the matter?"

"Oh." Chu Cheng nodded.

It didn't matter that he didn't know him. He had already thought of two sets of words and continued calmly, "He's also from Red Maple Village, a slave to Lord Wei Hua. I rescued him, and he's been living with the boss lately. But the kid has severe PTSD and doesn't dare to speak to people. It's a headache for the boss, so he asked me to find out if there are any of his former friends. If there are, it would be helpful to go over and chat with him."

"Ah! I remember what you said!" The old member of Red Maple suddenly realized, "It's the boy you turned back to save on the day you picked him up, right?"

"Yes." Chu Cheng nodded. "I heard that Wei Hua beat him to death every day. He was only fourteen or fifteen years old. You can imagine that he would have psychological trauma."

"It's quite tragic." An old member of the Red Maple Club sighed, "Wei Hua is really not a human being."

Chu Cheng's supporting actor, Yi Hang, had arrived a moment earlier and was now sitting diagonally in front of Chu Cheng, with a row of people between them. He listened intently to Chu Cheng's conversation and, sensing the time was right, turned around and raised his voice, "What's going on? What did you just say? Slaves? Why are there still slaves?!"

Everyone was originally chatting about their own things, but Yi Hang's raised voice immediately caught their attention. They glanced at Yi Hang, then turned to look at Chu Cheng, their eyes full of gossip.

Chu Cheng took another bite of his food slowly. "Have you forgotten the little boy I rescued that day? It's said that his parents lost two pieces of purple equipment and couldn't pay their debts, so Wei Hua forced them to sell their bodies. Later, his parents were beaten to death by Wei Hua, leaving him alone. He was beaten every day and had no food to eat. When we went to pick him up that day, Wei Hua was obviously furious, but he didn't dare to confront us, so he picked him up and beat him up. I couldn't stand it, so I bought him."

Chu Cheng touched his nose and said, "One hundred thousand gold coins!"

"One hundred thousand gold coins!!!" The surrounding players were shocked, and more people came over to look.

"One hundred thousand gold coins?!" Yi Hang jumped up. "No, you're stupid! Just give him the money for two purple items. Ten thousand gold coins isn't even worth it. Why should I give him one hundred thousand just because he wants one?! Are you a leek spirit?"

"I have to save him." Chu Cheng shook his head and sighed, "If I don't do anything, Wei Hua will definitely beat him to death. That's a human life."

"That's true..." Yi Hang curled his lips and sat back down calmly.

After holding their breath for a while, the members around them began to get angry as expected: "Is there such a thing? Why haven't we heard of it before..."

"Slaves? What's going on? Is that Red Maple Village practicing slavery?"

"No, I don't understand why losing purple equipment would make you owe territory money. Isn't the player's equipment their own?"

"That's right."

Chu Cheng took two more bites of food and then answered the question at the right time. "It is said that Red Maple Village doesn't leave any resources for players. Not to mention equipment, even the better skill cards have to be poured out and handed in after use. When the territory was recruiting new members a while ago, Red Maple Village tried to impose martial law and prevent members from leaving. That's why the boss sent me to pick them up. At that time, the lord was trying to stop us."

"As for slaves," Chu Cheng paused, "Red Maple Village does practice slavery. I heard from other members that Feng Xiaohao's family wasn't the only one forced to sign the indenture."

"Indeed." The veteran Red Maple member next to him nodded in confirmation. "Although I've been doing OK there and don't know anyone directly who's signed an indenture, I've heard of quite a few. There must be at least dozens of them. Wei Hua treats them like delinquents, beating and scolding them at every turn. It's even worse with minors; he shows no restraint."

"'If it's a minor, it's even worse'? Isn't this just bullying the weak and fearing the strong?!" Dou Yuehui, who was sitting in the front row, glared angrily. "Fuck! I've never seen such a perverted thing in Fearless Village before!"

After that, he asked Chu Cheng: "What's the current situation of Feng Xiaohao? Is there anything we can do to help?"

As soon as this was said, the surrounding players responded: "Yes, yes, can we help?"

"Fourteen or fifteen years old, she's really young. It's too tragic for her to suffer this kind of torture."

"Everyone calm down." Chu Cheng smiled. "The boss actually found a psychiatrist for him, but it will take time for his condition to improve. However, we are all heartbroken, so we came out to ask, hoping to get more people to care about him. But don't worry too much, the psychiatrist is very reliable, and he will definitely get better."

"That's good, that's good..." The indignant crowd calmed down a bit. Chu Cheng felt that the food was almost cooked, so he stood up and said, "Everyone, take your time eating. I still have something to discuss with the boss."

Having said that, he retired.

Yi Hang remained in the crowd, acting as a spectator, and continued to fan the flames. "Damn! I didn't know Red Maple Village was so outrageous! Who among you is from Red Maple? Tell me more about the situation."

"Yeah, yeah, what the hell is Hongfeng doing..." Many players nodded in response.

Just like that, rumors about Red Maple began to spread throughout the territory. Within the better part of a day, every player in the territory had heard: 1. There was a new member named Feng Xiaohao, rescued at great expense by the territory's bigwigs. He had been enslaved and abused in Red Maple, and now had psychological problems. 2. Feng Xiaohao's parents had been beaten to death. While anyone could die in an apocalypse, this was a purely man-made disaster, not a natural one, and the culprit was that bastard Wei Hua. 3. It was said that a younger girl, even younger than Feng Xiaohao, had also been beaten to death. By comparison, Feng Xiaohao, despite his miserable circumstances, was even the luckier one...

Players who had spent any time in the "Pure Land" had never seen anything like this before. They were all instantly captivated. Even the new members who had recently escaped from Red Maple Village were eager to share their misfortunes from their past lives there.

Hongfeng Village thus became the hottest topic in the town that became rich overnight. Everyone would talk about what they had heard and then send their heartfelt greetings to Wei Hua's ancestors.

In the small market, most of the old members who have grown their businesses into big and strong ones are also very empathetic. Ye Miao went there for a stroll at noon and was stuffed with all kinds of gifts by many people. They all said they were for Feng Xiaohao, hoping that he would be happier in the future.

This wave of concern was beyond Ye Miao's expectations, but after thinking about it, she accepted everyone's kindness. She returned to her residence and knocked on Feng Xiaohao's door. She went into the room and took out the things in her backpack one by one and placed them on the bed. She told him truthfully that these were gifts from other members of the territory who felt sad after hearing about his experience.

Feng Xiaohao looked at the things piled up on half of the bed, his eyes reddened, he bit his lip for a long time but finally burst into tears, choking and saying to Ye Miao: "Boss, I will be fine."

"Well, you will definitely get better!" Ye Miao gave a simple encouragement, and did not bother him any more. He walked out of the room and was not in a hurry to announce the attack on Hongfeng Village.

Things like public opinion wars still require careful timing! Now that the news has only been circulating for a day, if she directly announces that she wants to start a war, people may not support her. Instead, they may think that Chu Cheng's words yesterday were deliberately arranged by her.

Then let public opinion ferment a little more and advance slowly. When everyone is so angry that they stop cursing Wei Hua's ancestors and even want to resurrect all of them and kill them all again, the annexation plan will surely gain a lot of support.

In the small market, after Liu Xiaoya sold all the baby rabbits and Chinese native dogs she had sold before, she sold a few baby foxes, and then she disappeared for two or three days.

Since there were no pet merchants in the territory before, Liu Xiaoya has attracted a lot of attention recently, and many players are anxious when they see that she is not coming.

So when she reappeared that day, her stall was immediately surrounded by people: "There are! Horses!"

"Where did you get it? Where did you get it? How much is it?"

Everyone asked questions.

Liu Xiaoya saw the situation and knew that the new pets would be easy to sell. A smile spread across her face. "I heard from a friend that there were horses on the grasslands west of T City, so I rushed over immediately. The foals were okay, but the adult horses were really hard to tame. It took me three days and two nights to bring them all back. I was exhausted."

"As for the price, the foal is 3,000 gold coins, and the adult horse is 15,000 gold coins each. No bargaining."

"15,000 gold coins?!" A male assassin who was drooling frantically stopped drooling upon hearing the price. "Isn't that too expensive?!"

"If you think it's too expensive, just buy a pony and raise it yourself." Liu Xiaoya showed no intention of backing down, instead taking the opportunity to complain. "You have no idea how tiring horse training is. When we train animals, our stamina is reduced by a percentage. Whether we succeed or fail, it consumes stamina points. To train these horses, I've almost been poisoned by drinking so many stamina potions. The cost is really high, and it's just hard-earned money. Besides, horses are different from the small animals I used to ride. They're real mounts. They can greatly increase your speed when you go out, saving you time. I didn't cheat you with this price!"

"Tsk...that's expensive too." The male assassin sighed. On the surface, he was just complaining about the expensive horse, but in his heart he was cursing himself for being poor.

"Hmm? You have horses?" Chu Cheng strolled by and stopped in front of Liu Xiaoya's stall. "I want a black one and a white one."

This time it was Liu Xiaoya's turn to be stunned: "Two horses?!"

"Yes." Chu Cheng opened his backpack and collected the money calmly, as if he was not spending 30,000 gold to buy two horses, but spending 30 gold to buy two loaves of bread.

"Well, well, well...then you pick which one you want." Liu Xiaoya was so excited that she changed her address.

She had originally realized that Chu Cheng was the archery champion who had once been number one on the hot search list. Now she was sighing in her heart that the champion's move was truly extraordinary!

Chu Cheng looked carefully and found that there was only one black horse, but it was very handsome and muscular, with no trace of other colors in its fur. There was no need to choose; there were three white horses to choose from, and he chose the tallest one, which looked majestic.

After making his selection, he led the two horses out of the market. Wherever he passed, players would avoid him and look at him. Some of the less wealthy ones couldn't help but envy him: "Big guys are big guys, ahhhhhh, that horse is so beautiful!"

Back at the residential area, Chu Cheng knocked on Ye Miao's gate. It was Feng Xiaohao who ran to open the door, but just as he looked up, he was startled by the hot breath of Ma who was so close.

After a moment, Feng Xiaohao came back to his senses, his eyes filled with amazement. "Horse?!" He laughed, "Can you ride it?!"

"Of course I can ride it." Chu Cheng smiled and glanced at the villa not far away. "Is the boss here?"

"In!" Feng Xiaohao came to his senses and ran inside to call for help. Ye Miao was playing with Pixiu in the master bedroom on the third floor and hadn't heard anyone knock on the door. After hearing Feng Xiaohao's words, he hurried downstairs to greet him. When he walked into the yard, he had the same reaction as Feng Xiaohao: "Horse?!"

"It's just a horse. Why are you all reacting like you saw a unicorn?" Chu Cheng said amusedly, pointing at the two horses. "I bought the horses for delivery purposes. I bought two just as backups. I won't use them all at once. Do you want one? I'll lend you one."

Ye Miao was stunned, and couldn't help but be moved. She asked him hesitantly: "How much is the rent?"

"Hmm..." Chu Cheng said calmly, "Okay, I admit, I'm worried about the high cost of raising a horse, so I want to find someone to help me raise one. If you want to use it, you can feed it yourself, and I won't charge rent."

"Really?" Ye Miao rubbed his hands in surprise and became even more excited.

As a warrior, her weakness is her low agility and slow speed. If a mount is icing on the cake for Chu Cheng, it is like a timely help for her!

Chu Cheng struck while the iron was hot: "Which one do you like? I don't care about the color."

"Hmm..." Ye Miao hesitated for a moment, "Black!"

"You like black?" Chu Cheng was a little surprised. He had originally thought girls would prefer white horses, but he quickly nodded. "That's fine. It's the only black horse. It shouldn't clash with other members' colors in the short term, and it will better highlight your status as a lord."

After saying this, he handed the reins of the black horse to Ye Miao. To make it seem more realistic, he added, "Free rental means that if the disease doesn't heal, you'll be responsible for treating it."

Ye Miao: "Of course!"

"If it dies, you have to pay for it."

"Of course!" Ye Miao said solemnly, "How much?"

Chu Cheng: "15,000 gold."

"..." Ye Miao was silent for a moment, "Don't worry, I won't let it die even if I die!"

Chu Cheng chuckled: "Not really?!"

The 7th day of winter.

Public opinion about the Red Maple Village had been circulating in the territory for four days without anyone noticing. The members were already chatting animatedly, and Ye Miao occasionally added fuel to the fire without making a sound. The situation where everyone was greeting Wei Hua's ancestors for eighteen generations finally slowly turned into wanting to dig up the graves of Wei Hua's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Many players who cherished Hong Feng stamped their feet in anger when they mentioned him. "Feng Xiaohao was lucky enough to be rescued by Chu Cheng, and now he has the boss's care. What about the others who were forced to sign the indenture? Damn it! I really hate myself for not being a good fighter, otherwise I would have formed a team right away to rescue them!"

The time is ripe.

Ye Miao seized the opportunity and walked into the reception hall to make a new announcement:

[Ye Miao] Recruiting team members for the territory battle.

Target: Red Maple Village.

Require:

1. Combat skills ≥ level 60 (no limit on the number of players)

2. Healing Skill ≥ Level 50 (40 players)

Mission Rewards:

Since the amount of loot cannot be estimated, the reward cannot be confirmed at this time.

The current reward that can be promised is: 500 gold coins/person.

Additional rewards will be distributed as appropriate after the loot is counted.

"What??? The boss wants to attack the Red Maple Village!!!" The players who had been filled with indignation for several days and had nowhere to vent were suddenly boiling with anger.

Then, the first wave of signups were those who had escaped from Red Maple Village. Those with combat and healing skills who met the requirements joined the team, and life-related players began to spontaneously donate supplies, hoping to lend a hand to Ye Miao.

Besides this, the other new members who had joined the territory had also put aside their previous concerns and submitted their applications one after another. The reason was simple: they were really upset by the troubles in Red Maple Village these past few days!

In the master bedroom on the third floor of the villa, Ye Miao was busy sorting out the various application messages that kept popping up. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he didn't even bother to look up, but just said in a loud voice, "Come in!"

Feng Xiaohao pushed the door open carefully, and the idle Pixiu suddenly jumped over and rubbed against his feet.

Feng Xiaohao leaned over and touched the Pixiu, then walked cautiously to Ye Miao's desk: "Boss..."

"Hmm?" Ye Miao raised his face this time, consciously showing a relaxed smile, "What's the matter?"

Feng Xiaohao sighed: "Can I come with you to attack Hongfeng Village? I... I just want to vent my anger!"

Ye Miao sneered: "Let me see the panel."

Feng Xiaohao opened the panel and saw that his combat skills were level 37 and his healing skills were level 12.

Ye Miao couldn't help but frown. He knew he wasn't qualified, so he said anxiously, "Just take me with you! I won't be a drag, and if I die, I'll just take the blame! I..."

"Xiao Hao." Ye Miao shook his head. "What you said is wrong. What do you mean by just accepting your bad luck when you die? If we send you to be cannon fodder, then what's the difference between us and Red Maple Village?"

Feng Xiaohao became even more anxious: "But my parents..."

"I know you hate it." Ye Miao said calmly, "But I can't let you join the battle. I can take you with me. You just stay outside the territory. When the battle is over, I will call you in. If you want to beat Wei Hua then..."

Ye Miao narrowed his eyes, revealing a bit of evil. "Although the territory now has laws, your case is excusable. I can pretend I didn't see it. Deal?"

Feng Xiaohao's eyes lit up and he took a breath: "Deal!"

The 9th day of winter.

After hearing the rumors, Wei Hua, who had been acting so arrogantly recently, had a rare sleepless night. At six in the morning, he simply rose from his bed with dark circles under his eyes. Exhausted, he made his way to the villa's first-floor living room and sat on the sofa, fuming helplessly. "This fucking get-rich-quick town... They say it's a 'pure land,' and it really thinks it's a piece of cake? And it wants to come and attack me? I wonder if it dares!"

In the corner, the three members who had become slaves huddled together, not daring to breathe or look up at Wei Hua as they listened to his curses.

But even so, they couldn't escape their fate. Wei Hua no longer needed a reason to hit someone. After a long silence, he suddenly stood up and strode over.

"Ah!!!!" The girl, only seven or eight years old, screamed as she was dragged out. Wei Hua ignored her and punched her hard, as if the girl in his hand was not a living person, but a sandbag.

This punch caused the younger and lower-level girl to lose half of her blood.

Wei Hua threw her to the ground, anger and indignation in his eyes. He slowly rolled up his sleeves, ready to vent his anger.

The girl stared at him in horror. Of course she wanted to hide, but the punch just now had completely drained her of her strength. She was overwhelmed by fear and could not move at all.

Soon, Wei Hua picked her up again.

“Let me go!” The girl cried and struggled. Just as Wei Hua’s fist was about to fall again, someone suddenly stumbled in and said, “Boss, something bad has happened!”

The core member who rushed in was full of panic. He tripped and fell down in a mess when he entered the door.

Without even bothering to get up, he looked up and shouted at Wei Hua, "Pure Land! The Pure Land people are attacking us!"

Wei Hua's pupils suddenly shrank. He calmed himself down, let go of the girl, and walked out.

A few dozen meters outside Hongfeng Village, nearly a thousand combat players were lined up in an orderly manner.

Ye Miao looked up from his tall, black horse and saw that Wei Hua had indeed made some preparations.

Chu Cheng had previously told her that the defenses of Red Maple Village were mortar turrets, a level lower than the shotgun turrets in Get Rich Overnight Town. But what she saw now was a laser turret, a level higher than the shotgun turret.

It would cost a lot of money to upgrade two levels in a row.

Ye Miao smiled and calmly gave orders: "The laser turrets can't be blocked by shields, the shield soldiers retreat. Melee mages in Team A, those with defensive skills, move to the front row."

The order spread quickly, and the members on both sides quickly changed their formations. Ye Miao waited calmly, and after a minute, he felt that it was about time and finally said, "Attack!"

In a flash, the ranged members unleashed their skills first, unleashing spells, arrows, and darts at the protective shield. The laser turrets were instantly triggered, hurling blinding white beams straight at the crowd.

"Light and shadow shroud!"

"Vine wall!"

"Blocking the sky and the sun!"

The melee mages who had just been moved to the front row cast their defensive skills one after another, and magical defense walls of different colors suddenly appeared in front of the team.

When the laser turret's beam hits various light and shadow walls, most of the damage is absorbed; when it hits grass-type spells such as vine wall, although a large hole is made in the wall, the damage is also offset.

"Quick! Fight!" Wei Hua led the team out, shouting at the top of his lungs, asking everyone to charge forward.

Within three minutes, the difference in numbers became apparent. Ye Miao's team numbered over a thousand, while Wei Hua's territory only had a maximum of a thousand. Only three or four hundred of them participated in the battle, and at least a hundred were just idling.

"Call everyone out!" Wei Hua yelled. "Potions! Food! Equipment! Pile them all up! Once the enemy melee mage's mana is depleted, use the laser turrets to finish them off!"

Drain the melee mage's mana?

A complicated smile appeared on Ye Miao's lips.

Why did he start talking in his sleep?

Her "Pure Land" has always been known for its affordable prices, and behind these prices lies an abundance of supplies. Who on earth would want to use up all her medicine?!

Ye Miao clicked his tongue: "Melee mages Team A, retreat to recharge mana, Team B, those with defensive skills, follow up."

"Ripples!"

"Firelight blockade!"

"An ice wall falls from the sky!"

A new wave of defense walls immediately appeared, one after another, in different colors, as if countless huge shields were protecting the team members firmly.

【0/10000】

The protective shield quickly lost all its magic power under the fierce bombardment of the ranged team members, and shattered with a loud bang, and countless light spots fell from high above.

Everyone in the territory was obviously shocked. Wei Hua's face turned pale, and many members showed signs of retreat, with their hands holding equipment trembling slightly.

Without the light blue protective shield, Ye Miao, sitting on horseback, glanced at the wall and turret in front of him and issued a new order: "For long-range attacks, destroy the turret as soon as possible, and for close combat, follow me to attack the wall!"

The author has something to say:

You guys are outrageous!

My eyes glazed over, and I exclaimed, "That's outrageous!" I thought to myself, "Why would I be so rude to you? How dare I? I should be more low-key!"

Yesterday, I thought I wouldn't update any more chapters and even said I'd give out extra red envelopes for the previous chapter, but now they're adding more chapters and giving out red envelopes again. I'm acting like I've lost both the wife and the army!!!

I will never forget your great shortcomings and great virtues...!!!
