A construction-crazed girl who had just maxed out her infrastructure game suddenly found herself pulled into another world with her max-level skills. She landed in a desolate, sparsely populated to...
==================
Lian Yun and the village chief were the last group to leave. When Aibei came back, he was exhausted. Lian Yun asked him to transform back into human form and handed him a large bottle of blood to restore his strength.
Seeing Aibei so tired, the village chief felt very guilty.
"If the camel we raised was still there, we wouldn't have to trouble you like this."
Aibei drank the blood bottle and waved his hand, "It's not a problem, it's work."
"Work?" asked the village chief.
"This is the first time I've made a contribution to the town since I moved in." Aibei chuckled, feeling quite proud. "Besides, we'll be a family from now on, so why be polite?"
The village chief was impressed by the simple and warm-hearted character of the townspeople. "Although your town is small, everyone is a very good person. Sir, you have good vision."
Lian Yun smiled knowingly: "Aren't you the same?"
On the way back, Lian Yun asked the village chief and Lana if they knew about the "succubus" race.
The village chief smiled and said, "Didn't you notice?"
Seeing Lian Yun's confused expression, the village chief smiled and shook his head.
Although the girl did not say it explicitly, they could all see that this lord was somewhat ignorant of the ways of the world. They wondered which unfavored noble lady had been driven out to inherit the territory?
"Sir, the Buck beside me is a hybrid of a succubus and a human."
Lian Yun:?!
She said the child looked very confusing. She had no idea that such a small village could contain so many different races.
The village chief naturally saw her confusion and took the initiative to explain, "Gailin brings children to the village regardless of race. In fact, it is precisely because of their race that they are more likely to be abandoned."
"But..." Lian Yun glanced at Aibei, who lowered his head and remained silent, and said softly, "It seems that there are no orcs among those children."
If there were, Abe would have cheered for meeting his own kind.
The village chief was silent for a moment.
"This involves Garen's privacy. Perhaps if you have a chance, you can ask him in person." He apologized, "I can't make the decision for him and tell him what's on his mind."
Lian Yun nodded to show that he understood.
The village chief continued to share his knowledge of succubi: "For unknown reasons, the succubi have always been a very small species. Some of them join adventuring teams on quests to collect bounties, while others can take on quests on their own. They tend to be solitary and are rarely seen."
"As far as I know," Lanner said solemnly, "due to fertility difficulties, succubi place great value on the younger generations within their race. Even though they are half-succubi, if they meet one, they will do their best to take care of it."
But the succubus who attacked the village together with the orcs and cast the illusion obviously had no intention of showing mercy.
"Perhaps the other party didn't realize that Buck was half-succubus?"
"No," Lanner shook his head. "Succubi are born with a keen sense of their own kind."
…
"So, all races are not what everyone thinks, right?" Lian Yun raised his eyebrows and came to the conclusion.
Like the "violent and brutal" Abe from the Orc tribe, the "kind to the point of being stupid" village chief from the Dwarf tribe, and the "always kind to the younger generation" succubus from the Succubus tribe.
Lian Yun remembered that when he first arrived in the other world, the mission description of "saving the world" mentioned calming down conflicts and disputes between races.
Could their solidified stereotypes of each other be one of the breakthrough points?
"Actually, that's what I thought a succubus looked like."
When Lian Yun heard about this race, a completely different picture came to his mind. In short... it was definitely not the appearance of the little boy Buck.
Buck is pretty good looking though.
"Yes." Lanner dutifully answered the lord's questions, "The succubi I've met are also very low-key."
Even though they are extremely beautiful, no succubus is foolish enough to parade around in public knowing that their race is on the verge of extinction.
Lian Yun realized that he had never seen a pretty girl so far, and he hung out with a group of men all day long, which made him feel that his life had lost a lot of fun.
"There's always a gap between ideals and reality." As they approached the town, Lian Yun solemnly said to the village chief, "I hope you won't be too disdainful of our town later. You know, a strong and beautiful city isn't built in a day."
The village chief smiled and waved his hands: "What are you talking about, sir?"
"Since you are so devoted to us, I would like to speak to you from the bottom of my heart."
Lian Yun became interested when he heard this and pricked up his ears, waiting for him to continue.
"To be honest, I've long planned to relocate the entire village."
They were troubled by the repeated attacks of the orcs, and the already poor village was even worse off.
The first few times were fine, as they only came to plunder food, but later on they became more and more brutal. It was not until half a year ago when someone almost lost their life that everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.
From then on, the village chief began to secretly prepare for the relocation. One of Gai Lin's major tasks in this business trip was to find a suitable relocation destination.
When the village chief heard Lian Yun say that another windweed was left in the town by Garin, he almost completely trusted Lian Yun.
This was the most suitable new place that Garin had chosen for the village, so he dared to place the windbreak, which was related to the fate of the entire village, in the town.
Lina's staying was so natural that she didn't even need any further instructions. As long as one day Lina missed home and wanted to return to the village, the village chief would naturally understand what Garen meant.
That's why Garen easily agreed to the little girl's stubborn request.
After the village chief secretly understood Garin's intention, he was even able to negotiate with the young female lord who was not very worldly-wise to gain control of the transaction.
Every moment was perfect.
Unfortunately, Garin didn't expect, and no one expected, that the orcs' attack would come so soon.
They were caught off guard and had to use their last line of defense to save their lives, and even lost most of the villagers.
Lian Yun really didn't think of this.
In fact, in her original world, she was just a young girl who had just graduated from college. She was depressed and down because of the setbacks in life, and immersed herself in games to try to escape.
Although she has developed great courage and confidence after these days of experience, she is many times more mature than before.
But when facing the "human spirits" who have struggled in other worlds, Lian Yun still feels the gap between people.
But she was not discouraged.
Don’t I still have Lanna?
She is not a fool. Although she may not be able to think of so many things at the moment, she can still feel whether she has been cheated or not.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t win the argument, you can at least win in a fight, right?
Lian Yun also understood that Gai Lin was a villager, and it would be abnormal for him not to work for the welfare of his own village.
It just so happens that she also needs smart people.
Now that everyone in the village has moved here, Garin is naturally one of us.
"Your Excellency has a very good temper," the village chief said with a smile, "but let me say, taking advantage of my seniority, that it would be better if you had some dignity."
"Even if I only have a small village under my jurisdiction, I still encounter troubles all the time. Although everyone has no bad intentions, there are always people who do unimaginable things." The village chief said earnestly.
"If I don't have authority at this time, even if I'm the village chief, they may not listen to me."
Lian Yun listened carefully.
However, she did not expect the village chief to adapt so quickly and now began to teach her the necessity of establishing authority.
She was full of admiration: "Then how did you establish your prestige?"
The village chief narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Gailin will help me deal with it when he is in the village."
"...Huh?" Lian Yun didn't react for a moment.
Looking at the village chief's expression of "I understand", Lian Yun suddenly understood.
It turns out we are fellow travelers!
Lian Yun enthusiastically embraced Lanna behind him: "Now I understand! Lanna can help me deal with it in the future."
The village chief nodded with satisfaction.
As the sun was setting, the few of them finally returned to the town.
Under Xiaohong's organization, everyone found a few houses and cleaned up the rooms in the afternoon. Everyone had a place to stay tonight.
The supplies they brought were placed in a large warehouse in the middle of the residential area, and the wind grass was planted in the soil.
Lian Yun noticed the village chief's expression. Seeing the ruins of the town, he did not show any surprise, but seemed a little happy instead.
"I thought there was only an empty field. This is much better than I imagined. Your Excellency, you are very generous."
The village chief sighed sincerely.
"And it's such a big place, there are so many possibilities."
Who says it’s not!
The village chief and Lian Yun walked through the open space in the southwest and took a walk around the commercial area.
While walking, Lian Yun saw the molten crystals on the side of the road, and he took the opportunity to mention the original purpose of his visit today - the manufacture of street lamps.
After hearing Lian Yun's idea, the village chief nodded repeatedly: "I have seen street lamps like that in the city, but usually the street lamps are the flames released by the fixed magic circle of the fire magician."
"These 'melting crystals' are indeed good things."
The village chief also enthusiastically shared with Lian Yun some of the street lamp styles he had seen.
"We can make a few more styles," the village chief said with a smile. "Now that I'm here, I can put aside my duties as village chief and focus on my hobbies."
Lian Yun gave a thumbs up and felt more and more that his acquaintance with the village chief was like meeting a soulmate in a foreign land.
"One more thing."
When he arrived in front of several houses that had just been cleaned up, Lian Yun suddenly remembered the task of recruiting residents. He turned to the village chief and told him that to become a member of the town, he needed to complete a contract at the altar.
The village chief immediately called Buck and asked him to gather everyone around the altar.
The village chief stood before the crowd and spoke formally, "This will be where we live from now on—Bubu Town. After several days and nights of darkness, I believe everyone understands how hard-won our current stability is. A town like this, an opportunity like this, and a lord like this are our greatest fortune. Now we need to express our sincerity in coming here."
Lian Yun briefly explained to everyone the purpose of the altar.
The village chief said no more, waved his hand, and signaled a villager to go up.
[Beep Beep—Resident intention detected!]
[Intentions of the human "Kerme" residents: None. Level: Two stars.]
Lian Yun was stunned.
"Failed?"
