Soon, as Rielly had instructed, the knights brought over a dozen large chests filled with pumpkins.

Li Aili directed, "You carry these boxes and stand around this pumpkin."

"Once I give you the command, throw the box into the pumpkin's attack range."

The knights took their positions, and Li Aili prepared to use the 'Swiftness Potion' to save the 'cat'.

"Throw it!" she commanded.

The knights lifted the boxes and hurled them at the large pumpkin in the center.

Instantly, all the pumpkin vines on the ground stood upright.

They are like the flexible tentacles of a giant deep-sea octopus, catching the boxes in mid-air.

One of the thick pumpkin vines squeezed so hard that it burst a box, crushing the pumpkins inside in the process.

The Pumpkin King seemed to freeze for a moment.

In that brief moment, Li Aili suddenly exerted her strength, amplifying the power of the 'Swiftness Potion' tenfold.

Her figure almost blurred into a blur as she darted through the pumpkin patch and successfully rescued the trapped 'kitten' from the leaves of the king pumpkin.

Pumpkin only realized what was happening when she stopped, holding the kitten by the scruff of its neck, but by then it was too late to care about the cat.

The giant pumpkin gently placed the remaining wooden crate on the ground and carefully opened the lid.

Upon seeing the small pumpkin in the box, the Pumpkin King was so excited that its vines almost twisted into a pretzel.

So, the Golden Knights, who had settled in Campbell, saw something new that overturned their worldviews again today.

The giant, animated pumpkin king, like an old woman, hugs 15 smaller pumpkins with its vines and sways back and forth like a human.

Ben Karsa ran up to Li Aili and asked worriedly:

"If these pumpkins rot in a few days, will it go crazy?"

Li Aili, who had never thought about this question before: "..."

Li Aili paused for a moment, then said, "Ben."

He immediately stood at attention, awaiting the lord's orders.

Li Aili said, "Then I'll trouble you to throw in a new batch of pumpkins before these rot."

Ben: "..." His expression went blank for a moment.

Valen, standing beside him, cautiously suggested, "Isn't this a bit wasteful?"

"How about we plant some new, revitalized pumpkins here?"

Li Aili pointed to the mutated pumpkins in the distance that had grown human expressions and said, "As long as you can guarantee that there will only be one mutated pumpkin here forever."

"The rest is up to you."

The Cavaliers vowed that they would never repeat Thomason's mistake.

Li Aili, carrying Ha Jin by the scruff of his neck, returned to her little cabin.

She gently tossed Hajin to the ground.

While in mid-air, the kitten slowly stretched out into a little girl with pointed ears.

Ha Jin stood on the floor, turned around and pounced on Li Aili.

Due to her height, she had to stand on her tiptoes to reach out and hug Li Aili's waist.

"Waaaaah, Ellie, you're so kind, you saved my life again!"

"How about this, I'll work for you to repay your life-saving grace!"

[Ugh! I'm so angry! It's so hard to find a high-paying job in Tankar!]

A good job either requires over 100 years of work experience or the ability to work 24/7!

[This is the best deal! Less work, more money, and they pay promptly!]

Li Aili: "..."

Ha Jin blinked his big, watery eyes and tilted his head slightly at Li Aili, giving her a cute look.

Li Aili smiled slightly and forcefully thwarted the cunning little girl's slyness.

“Sure, we’re building up our territory right now, and that’s the time when we need people.”

Li Aili paused, "But how old are you? I don't want child labor."

Ha Jin patted his calm chest and said, "I'm 321 years old!"

Li Aili smiled slightly, "That's wonderful."

"Wait a minute, I'll go get the person in charge of the territory's development to come over and sign a contract with you, oh, I mean a magic contract."

Of course, we can't leave the guests waiting here.

Li Aili took out some snacks from her spatial ring.

A large plate of crispy fried potato chips, and sweet little cakes shaped like pumpkins.

Hakin asked cautiously, "Do these cost money?"

Li Aili: "..." Look at what Tankar has done to the child.

She affectionately patted Hakin's 'dog head', "It's free, eat as much as you want."

You need to eat a lot to have the energy to work.

Hajin was so moved he almost cried, "Waaah~ You're such a good person~ Ellie!"

As she spoke, she grabbed a pumpkin cupcake in one hand and fried potato chips in the other, showing off her skills with a "crunch, crunch" sound.

Li Aili went to Joanna's house next door.

Joanna was calculating the territory's expenses for the month on parchment.

Upon seeing Li Aili, she immediately put down her charcoal pencil. "Your Highness, is there anything you need?"

Ever since Joanna learned that Ellie had been made a duchess, she liked to call her that.

Li Aili said, "Ha Jin is coming to work here, which just so happens that Jiancheng is short-handed."

Joanna had heard her husband mention this 'Hakin' before. "Your Highness, if I may be so bold, is she not an elf with dwarven blood?"

Joanna carefully chose her words, "The work on the construction site requires physical strength, she..."

Li Aili said meaningfully, "She is a druid."

Joanna hadn't reacted yet: "Huh?"

Li Aili gestured, "It can transform into a bear that's several meters tall."

"I've always been troubled by the fact that it's really inconvenient not having an old crane."

"Now, we don't have to worry about how to invent the old crane anymore."
