Chapter 67 Spring Preparations for Walking the Streets

Although Yun Junqi did not understand her mother's anxious feelings, she was an obedient child. After finding out the exact location where Sister Lin lived, she immediately chose the villa closest to her.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the villa sales office. Seeing that there were not many people queuing in the villa area, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The visitor was none other than Yuan Chengping, the rather irresponsible former mayor of Dongyang Town.

In order to get there as quickly as possible, he did not hesitate to use his top-tier assassin skills within his territory.

"Everyone is here."

Seeing a few people chatting idly at the trading area, he joined in with a smile: "You guys are really shameless. You didn't even tell me about such a good thing. Such a good location shouldn't be taken by you."

With a wave of his hand, he immediately reserved the villa next to Wen Zhiming's. He patted Wen Zhiming on the shoulder and said, "Brother Wen, we'll be neighbors from now on. Please take good care of us, sister-in-law."

These successive transactions sparked much discussion among the other people queuing in the exhibition hall.

A young player stared in disbelief, nudging his companion's arm: "Who are these people? A five-million-dollar villa like it's nothing..."

His companion, clearly knowing more, lowered his voice and pointed out, "That's the former mayor of Wenjia Town. He led the entire town's residents to relocate here. We can't match his boldness."

"You should know that girl, Yun Junqi, the daughter of the mayor of Yunpei Town. This time, she probably received instructions from her mother."

"The one behind him came with the mayor of Wenjia Town. He is not only the mayor of Dongyang Town, but also the number one expert in Dongyang Town. He has the blood of countless demons on his hands. I heard that he also has a guard team under his command, and all the members are at least level 55."

He concluded with a sigh, "Anyone who can amass such wealth in the apocalypse is no ordinary person. These people buy villas not just for comfort, but also to show their support for the Star Territory."

These customers who can afford to buy villas are prominent figures wherever they go. They value the good relationship with Star Territory more than a regular villa.

No one knows how this territory, isolated on the surface of the desert, was created. Lin Nanxing, as the actual person in charge of the Star Territory, possesses unfathomable strength.

Even if you don't deliberately befriend her, just getting to know her might bring you some hidden benefits.

Those who can reach the management level are all shrewd and astute.

Amidst the undercurrents at the villa district's transaction center, sales figures for adjacent residential properties began to fluctuate rapidly.

In just half an hour, the number of units sold went from 0 to 8.

The villa area is imbued with a political atmosphere, but ordinary people don't have that kind of interest. Compared to villas that cost five million, commercial housing priced at one million with installment payments is obviously more popular among ordinary residents.

A young couple stood in front of the self-service terminal, carefully checking the two-bedroom apartment they had just selected.

"I made a down payment of 300,000 yuan, and the rest will be paid in installments over ten years. The monthly repayment pressure is not too great."

The husband calculated carefully, "Besides, it's right next to the shopping street, so it'll be convenient for you to go shopping in the future. And after the baby is born, he'll have a separate room, so it won't be too unfair to him."

The wife touched her pregnant belly and nodded with a smile: "Most importantly, this house belongs entirely to us now."

Not far away, a group of players who had come together were discussing: "If our team pools our money, we can totally buy a set out in full."

“I think it’s a good idea. I went to see the house yesterday, and it’s very spacious. It’s big enough for ten people to live in if they squeeze in.”

"I agree to pool our money. Our team is quite strong. If we work hard during the spring beast tide, it won't be difficult to pay back the money."

Many people share the same thought: a million points may seem like an astronomical figure at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it's not an unattainable goal if you go out hunting diligently.

Previously, many ordinary players had a negative attitude towards going out to hunt demons, living underground and just earning enough money each day to pay for rent and buy nutrient mud.

Living day by day, no matter how much money you earn, it won't actually improve your quality of life. Most people are numb to this kind of life, let alone earn or save money.

Now, the houses in Star Territory seem to have given them something to look forward to. Here, working hard to earn money can really lead to a good life!

The residents who successfully purchased the items beamed with joy, gathering in small groups to discuss their renovation plans.

The excitement at the sales office hadn't reached the villa area, but the commotion caused by the big spenders who had bought properties was so loud that it woke Lin Nanxing from his sleep.

She was too excited last night and didn't sleep well until late. In addition, it was difficult to judge the time in the dark, so she was still in a daze when she was woken up.

There's no need to worry about formaldehyde in the villas produced by the game, so Lin Nanxing moved in yesterday. Right now, with messy hair and a strong sense of morning grumpiness, she rushed downstairs and flung open the door.

They bumped right into the busy crowd outside the door.

Wen Zhiming was directing workers to move an exquisite mahogany wardrobe, with his frail wife standing beside him. Yun Junqi was carefully practicing her priest skills with a dying monster in the neighboring yard, while Yuan Chengping went even further, bringing over a whole set of professional fitness equipment.

Most of the commotion outside was caused by Yuan Chengping's loud voice.

Hearing the door open, the group turned around in unison, their eyes immediately darting around when they saw Lin Nanxing's messy, bird's-nest-like hairstyle.

Wen Zhiming cleared his throat and broke the silence first: "Good morning, Lord Lin. Did we make too much noise and disturb you?"

Lin Nanxing's morning grumpiness was fleeting. She rubbed her eyes, finally seeing the scene before her, and instantly became wide awake, asking curiously, "What are you all doing?"

"Sister Lin, I've moved in to be your neighbor!" Yun Junqi waved her magic staff.

"You've all moved in?" Lin Nanxing brought up the system interface and saw that three more villas in the villa area had been sold.

Facing these important clients, she, who was in the spotlight but had no political experience, forced a smile and said politely, "Then you may continue, I'll go in first."

Perhaps sensing that she was in a bad mood after just waking up, the new neighbors wisely kept quiet.

Back inside, Lin Nanxing quickly washed up and sent her new boyfriend a message: "Want to have dinner together?"

Lin Nanxing wasn't one to drag things out. After recalling what she had done to Shu Yi while she was drunk, she immediately realized her feelings for him. Even if she hadn't realized it at first, her body was more honest than her mind.

From his appearance and physique to his personality, there was nothing about this man that she was dissatisfied with.

Yesterday's kiss confirmed Shu Yi's feelings for her, and it was only natural for the two of them to become a couple.

On the first day of confirming their relationship, Lin Nanxing had already planned their itinerary last night: have breakfast together, then leisurely stroll around the streets, and finally return to the villa to enjoy some time alone together.

For this reason, she even spent a lot of money to buy a projector and all the movie resources in the system's memory, and placed them in the living room.

Shu Yi quickly replied: 【Okay, I'll come pick you up.】

No need, my current accommodation is not far from the hotel.

Lin Dazhi refused to waste time.

The two enjoyed a hearty breakfast at the hotel.

During the meal, Lin Nanxing recounted the amusing incident of being woken up by the noise of moving that morning, saying with a touch of helplessness, "I don't know why, but I have a feeling that things won't be peaceful around me from now on."

Shu Yi raised his hand and wiped the oil stains from the corner of her mouth with a tissue, saying naturally, "These people all know who you are, so it's understandable that they want to get closer to you. They're all hoping you can give them some benefits."

Lin Nanxing blushed deeply when a handsome man made intimate gestures in public, even though he was already her boyfriend.

Her eyes darted around as she followed Shu Yi's words, saying, "If that's the case, why haven't I seen you ask me for any benefits?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Nanxing wanted to slap himself. What kind of talk was that? Anyone who didn't know better would think it was some kind of shady sex deal.

She immediately tried to smooth things over, saying, "What I mean is, why don't you move to the villa area too? I can give you a discount."

Although the villa is listed for five million, the actual price is naturally up to her, the lord.

She felt no qualms about preparing a special meal for her boyfriend.

“No need, the house is fine as it is.” Shu Yi squeezed her hand that was placed beside him, his tone neither humble nor arrogant: “Besides, I’ve already got the biggest treasure.”

Lin Nanxing glanced at his actions and was somewhat amazed. This guy looked aloof, but she didn't expect him to be so clingy when it came to dating.

Since she already had a huge villa and had reserved a room for Shu Yi, she wouldn't force him if he didn't want to.

After the meal, as the two were taking a walk around the perimeter of the territory as Lin Nanxing had suggested, Shu Yi frowned as he looked at the monsters that had been killed by the barrier's backlash: "The monsters have been quite active lately. Winter is probably coming to an end soon, and we need to prepare for the spring beast tide in advance."

Lin Nanxing seemed quite pleased with the use of the word "we" in his speech, and shook the hand that was intertwined with his, asking, "Do you have something on your mind?"

"I don't know if your system has any watchtower-related buildings. If it does, you can try building them around the area."

Shu Yi pointed to several high points, "and it would be best if they were equipped with remote observation equipment so that we could issue an early warning if any signs of a beast tide were detected."

Lin Nanxing was not surprised that he knew about the special system. Instead, he seriously considered the feasibility of the proposal: "Most other towns are built underground, relying on the natural terrain as a barrier. However, the disadvantage of this is that the field of vision is limited, making it difficult to detect distant threats in advance."

“But here we are the opposite,” Shu Yi continued. “The field of vision is wide, but it’s easier to be exposed to the monsters’ attack range. That’s why the early warning system is so important.”

"More importantly, I've investigated the player class distribution within the territory, and half of them are archers. Having a watchtower has actually become an advantage."

Shu Yi's combat ability was proven on the first day of the eternal night. Having an archer in the team who oversees everything from a distance does indeed double the combat power.

“There are indeed watchtowers in the shop, but for this beast tide, I want to try something different,” Lin Nanxing said with a playful smile.

Seeing that she understood, Shu Yi didn't continue with these serious topics.

The two had been walking in the night for nearly an hour. Shu Yi was thinking about whether he should take his girlfriend home to rest when he noticed that the girl beside him suddenly stopped and was attracted by something else.

"Shu Yi, look!" Lin Nanxing tugged at his sleeve and pointed outside the barrier. "What are those people picking by the swamp?"

Shu Yi looked in the direction she pointed and was taken aback.

Several players were seen crouching at the edge of the swamp, carefully picking something.
