Chapter 155: Food and shelter lessons

Lu Jiu flapped his wings and landed on the ground. He walked towards the group of people and looked them over carefully. Although they were indignant, they did not dare to take action. At this critical juncture, they did not want to be expelled from the city-state, and they did not want to leave Xuantian City in the first place.

There are not many cities in Jinjiang District with such low prices and a stable environment.

Lu Jiu walked around before stopping and said, "You can leave if you want, but my two teammates and I need compensation for the loss of our spiritual equipment."

As she spoke, she took out the shield and waved it in front of them. The hole where it had been shot through was still there.

The captain also took out a silver coin and said, "Here you go."

Lu Jiu didn't go to take it, but glanced at the captain and said, "You guys, discuss it and give a total of 100 Refining Fruits, then I will let you go."

The captain's expression changed. "You're going too far. Even if I just stole your wild monsters, they wouldn't be worth that much money."

Moreover, the Tempering Fruit is so precious that they are still reluctant to use it.

Lu Jiu snorted and laughed, "This is the price today. If you don't hesitate, I won't provoke you. If you don't pay these, we will fight you to the death."

The male archer took a step forward and shouted, "What? Are you planning to kill us? Don't you see how many of us there are?"

Lu Jiu put his hands behind his back and chuckled, "I'm not interested in killing people, but we will always follow you and rob your monsters. The city rules prohibit attacking residents, but they don't say you can't attack monsters."

"But if you keep doing this, we will report you to the city lord and expel you from the city."

Lu Jiu raised an eyebrow. Go ahead and report it, but she didn't show it on her face. "You started it. Either you pay us compensation, or we'll keep pestering you. As for whether we evict you or not, that's not your turn to say."

She doesn't intend to let go of anyone who provokes her. Anyone who dares to provoke her should pay the corresponding price.

Even if the reputation of the Lord of Xuantian City has not spread yet, she, Lu Jiu, should not be someone that other teams can mess with within the city.

The male archer was still unconvinced and was about to continue cursing at Lu Jiu, but their captain stopped him, "That's enough. Whoever proposed this must pay for the 100 Tempering Fruits."

The male archer finally calmed down because the one who suggested coming over to "take a look" was not him, but another person.

As long as he doesn’t produce the Tempering Fruit, it’s fine.

The teammate mentioned turned pale instantly. Although it was he who proposed it, the captain also agreed. "Captain, although I said so, without your consent, how could the others come along?"

Moreover, the habit of watching other teams fighting wild monsters was initiated by the team leader. After tasting the sweetness, the other team members continued to promote this habit.

Lu Jiu was not in a hurry. She just watched them fight each other. In the end, the Tempering Fruit must be given to her.

While arguing with the team members, the captain observed Lu Jiu's expression out of the corner of her eyes, just to see that the other party was impatient. Anyway, if they didn't produce the goods for a while, she would not take action.

Over there, Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun had already dealt with twelve monsters and confiscated their weapons, and just walked over.

Shen Jufeng looked a little impatient, his tone a little cold and hard, "Haven't you given it yet? Why are you nagging?"

"Still wasting time here, but I'm not in a hurry. They all have to go back to the city-state anyway. When they get back, I have to ask if anyone else has had their monsters stolen by them."

The strength of the teams in the city varies, and not every team has the confidence to ask for an explanation if their wild monsters are robbed.

For example, if they are stronger than the other party, you can keep an eye on them and snatch monsters from them.

Zhuang Yun looked at the group coldly, his expressionless face as he swung his greatsword a few times vigorously. "Grab the monsters! From now on, we'll take all their wild monsters."

The captain, who was arguing with his teammates, was almost furious. Finally, he couldn't help himself and said, "If you want to grab it, it depends on your ability and luck."

Lu Jiu, on the other hand, wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "Sure. We'll get up early every day and go back to publicize your shameless behavior. We'll pay people to help us watch you. Whenever you leave the city, we'll follow you. I believe many people would be happy to make this money."

The captain was so angry that his teeth were itching. They had previously robbed wild monsters from several teams, including some temporary teams, and the people they offended still remembered them.

They could evade the surveillance of these three people, but they could not evade the surveillance of dozens or even hundreds of people.

Shen Jufeng said calmly, "Giving you 100 Tempering Fruits as a lesson is already very merciful. How about we go back and unite with the other victims and help you farm the jungle together? Regardless of how long it will take, at least this winter, you won't be able to get a single reward from a wild monster."

Anyway, the three of them can afford it.

The captain gritted his teeth and said, "We'll give it to you!"

They are not worried about three people, but if dozens of them join together, they will not be able to cope.

Finally, the captain had to give Lu Jiu 100 Tempering Fruits. Lu Jiu did not regret it and took the amount and left, saying, "You are lucky today, so the three of us will let you go."

The team was left standing there, jumping up and down.

Lu Jiu gave thirty-three fruits to each of his two teammates and took one extra for himself. "Ah, I didn't expect to get 100 more Refining Fruits today."

This is enough for the pharmacy manager to make a lot of pills.

Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun were both in a good mood. The most important thing was seeing the changes in Lu Jiu. In the past, they would probably just ask for some money, but today, they could directly ask for the Tempering Fruit.

Shen Jufeng gently stroked the round tempering fruit a few times, then put it away.

Zhuang Yun was curious, "But are these people really letting it go? I heard them arguing just now, and it seems like they've done this more than once or twice. It wasn't a big deal before, but in the past two or three months, everyone has been very conscious and stays away when they see others fighting wild monsters."

These days, whether others see them farming the jungle or they see others fighting, they leave on their own accord.

Lu Jiu threw the purple fruit up and caught it steadily. "I just said that just because the three of us let them go, it doesn't mean that the others will be let go as well."

The two teammates understood what she meant. As long as there was no brawl nearby, seeking appropriate compensation was not a bad thing.

After returning to the city-state, Lu Jiu told Yao Bing'an about this. This girl may not be good at other things, but she has a good relationship with people and knows many people in the team.

What she meant was that those whose wild monsters had been stolen could unite and seek compensation. We must not encourage this kind of behavior and must make these people fall.

Yao Bingan understood what he meant and immediately spread the news among professional residents.

The team later returned to the city slowly, but they were surrounded as soon as they came back. These people had only one idea in mind: pay money!

The captain felt a black screen in front of his eyes. Those three people didn’t keep their word!

They said they would let them go, but ended up encouraging others to ask them for compensation.

What a waste of their 100 tempering fruits!

However, Lu Jiu and his team achieved their goal. At least these people no longer dared to rob wild animals in Xuantian City.
