Chapter 22 Bought Loneliness
The man with the crew cut was afraid that the morale of those who continued to stay in the team would disperse, so he decided to return to Phantom City to settle their commission.
In the past week in Xuantian City, they tricked more than 30 people away.
Later they found out that these people were all part of a team, and they were attracted to Phantom City when they heard that there were vitality agents that could increase qi and blood.
Lu Jiu is now staying in the City Lord's Mansion. Looking at the background data, he sees that there are more than a dozen fewer temporary residents in the city. He knows that those are people from outside the city.
Besides, the products sold in her shop are so good, how could the residents leave?
As soon as Shen Jufeng came in, he saw Lu Jiu with a gentle smile on her face, even a little proud, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.
"You seem to be in a good mood. I guess your products are selling well."
Lu Jiu smiled and nodded. "The tailor shop and the blacksmith shop have sold nearly half of their products. The drugstore's stock is almost gone. The restaurant and department store are doing relatively well, but it's clear that the amusement park is very popular."
"That's good. I've heard that a large group of people left Xuantian City for Phantom City a week ago. I think they should be back soon."
Lu Jiu never worried that any residents would actually leave Xuantian City. Even if they did, she believed that they would come back.
"Of course we have to come back, but I don't think those people ever really thought about moving to Phantom City. They mainly want to buy equipment and vitality supplements."
If you want to survive in the game world, you must rely on these.
After hearing her words, Shen Jufeng smiled, the meaning of which was understood by both of them.
Lu Jiu really wanted to know what was going on in the mind of the mayor of Phantom City. He was so surprised that he even thought of sending people to other city-states to poach talents.
How could anyone with real brains not have a backup plan?
If there is a change in the situation, others can know the situation through an email. What can be retained?
Even if someone really settled there, it would not be Xuantian City’s loss.
"I think Xuantian City will definitely be the number one city-state in Yangshan City in the future. We don't have to worry about losing residents. As long as we develop well, many people will want to move here."
Instead of racking your brains to recruit people, it is better to focus on development. Gold will always shine, and there is no need to worry about others not seeing it.
Shen Jufeng knew that she was not bragging, and that it was a wise decision to team up with her in the first place.
"Now we have to go out and clear the land. We've been busy with city-state affairs these days, so it's time to farm for resources."
Speaking of Qingye Lujiu, I think of the black pig. "You are right, but I hope to encounter a wild monster like the black pig."
It's true, Shen Jufeng also likes to eat pork. They have been eating different kinds of sausages made by old man Zeng these days. Grilled sausages are the most common and they are usually eaten as snacks.
"It all depends on luck, but I hope to encounter another boss so that the resources come quickly."
He sent his two pig tusks to the forging shop to be made into a bronze-grade dagger. Although it would be eye-catching, it was better than being empty-handed. He couldn't possibly use the black and white chess game to kill people in front of others.
In addition to pig tusks, the wolf teeth and wolf skins obtained before can all be sent over to be made into equipment. Just pay the NPC the production fee. Whether it will be successful depends entirely on luck.
For example, the pig tusk in Lu Jiu's hand failed to be made.
"It would be great if I could meet a giant hen boss. I want to eat chicken."
Shen Jufeng: “…”

Not far from Xuantian City, a group of people were heading towards the city. They had been walking for nearly two days and were finally about to reach home.
Pang Liang is the shield guard of the Qingyan team. Seven or eight days ago, he followed the captain and other teammates to go shopping in Phantom City. The city has been upgraded to a second-level city-state with three shops in operation.
Among them was the vitality agent they needed most. As for the equipment, there were only one or two pieces of brown iron-level clothes and weapons each time, but they sold too quickly and they couldn't get them.
This time they stayed in Phantom City for three days, and the captain sent a message back to Xuantian City two days ago.
"Captain, if we come back like this, will Phantom City really not cause trouble?" Pang Liang asked his captain.
The captain of the Qingyan team is a young man in his twenties named Dai Xing. He was originally a college graduate, but when the doomsday came, the world and the game became one.
Dai Xing was lucky enough to get a professional card on the first day the new power arrived, and a large group of them traveled all the way to Xuantian City.
Then these professional players gathered together, and he naturally became the captain because he was the strongest.
Dai Xing replied calmly to Pang Liang's question, "Why bother causing trouble? The patrolling NPCs in the city aren't just decorations. Since the city lord over there is so stupid, we can teach him a lesson."
Seeing his captain speak so arrogantly, Pang Liang stopped asking questions and continued on his way to return to the city as soon as possible.
The other teammates also looked relaxed.
In Dai Xing's opinion, the mayor of Phantom City is a lucky man, but he is extremely vain and not very smart.
It was obvious that the city lord was an early adopter. He had been publicly announcing his identity since the establishment of the city-state, and was soon upgraded to a second-level city-state.
Then, following the advice of his family, he sent people to surrounding cities to poach players, focusing on professional players.
It was effortless to find out this information. As the most prestigious person in Phantom City, gossip about him was everywhere in the city.
Dai Xing originally wanted to find out the specific situation over there, and did not let all the team members follow him.
The city lord who went there specifically found him and was very satisfied with their team of more than 30 people. He promised to give them many benefits and let them settle down in Phantom City.
Dai Xing smiled and replied that he would definitely clear the land and settle down as soon as possible, but in fact he was frantically stockpiling goods and then returning to Xuantian City.
The group quickly returned to Xuantian City. Since they had registered in Phantom City, the Xuantian City hostel did not have their information and they needed to register again.
After registering, Pang Liang stretched and muttered, "Oh my god, I'm finally back. Our city-state is really level two. I want to go check out those shops."
"Let's go together. I want to go to the third floor of the department store. They say that adults over 10 years old can also get a card for the amusement park there."
"Fuck! When I saw the email, I wanted to go to the amusement park."
…
The team members excitedly discussed where to go next.
On the way, Dai Xing received an email from other teammates, explaining the changes in Xuantian City in recent days.
Especially when he saw the high-quality and low-priced products in the city's shops, he wished he had not decided to go to Phantom City.
Only now did he understand that prices were not the same among city-states, and the level of prices in a city-state depended entirely on the city lord.
In Phantom City, a vitality agent that adds 5 points of Qi and blood costs 20 copper coins per bottle, while in Xuantian City, you can buy a vitality agent that adds 30 points of Qi and blood plus 10 points of physical strength for 15 copper coins!
The other teammates knew that the captain had been in a bad mood since he received the email, so they didn't bother him at this time and went to the shops they wanted to visit.
Dai Xing returned to his room and said, "Why the hell did he go to that shabby place? He only bought loneliness and a lesson!"
Dai Xing regretted his decision and decided from then on that no matter what temptations he faced, he would stay in Xuantian City!
