[I'll be having a dinner party in the next two days, so this chapter is a 6K-word compilation of the three chapters from September 1st. I'll update with 2,000 words first, and then add another 4,000 words, which you can check back on the evening of September 2nd. I'll finish writing the total of 18,000 words from September 1st to 3rd on September 3rd.]
Deep in the ocean, under immense water pressure, Ald couldn't breathe. His face flushed red, and he gestured for Qin Yiyi to release the tentacles.
"Yes, yes, put it..."
He took deep breaths of fresh air, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the water pressure subsided.
"Buy it on the black market in the Chaotic Territory!"
The black market has everything; you can buy pigs, sheep, and cows. However, most things in the wasteland world are contaminated, including living animals, due to genetic invasion. Beef, mutton, and pork are all contaminated.
"It's from a contaminated black pig, but the meat is low-contamination quality and safe to eat, though it's a bit tough..."
Would she complain about the meat being tough when there's no meat available? Of course not. Besides, once she gets her hands on some meat, she can clean it up and eat it. The meat won't be tough for her; it'll be just right.
However, it will take a lot of effort to bring the live animals back to the territory.
Qin Yiyi set her sights on the tentacle monster!
"Put me down, can you put me down now?"
Qin Yiyi threw Olde to the ground.
Old patted his backside, stood up, and prepared to run away.
"Why are you running away! Did I give you permission to run away?"
She pulled Olde along.
"Send over all the people you have in your territory, or don't blame me for being heartless!"
Olde was crying his eyes out.
"If I give you everything, I really won't be able to live! My territory also needs laborers! Without laborers, I won't have money, and without money, I can't buy crystals. I can hide somewhere else, but laborers won't do!"
"Ultimately, I'm using this money to buy crystals to create a barrier for the laborers, so they can be spared from the sandstorms!"
"I'm doing this all for their own good!"
Qin Yiyi raised an eyebrow. A qualified lord might not necessarily use PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics, but an unqualified lord definitely will.
Qin Yiyi pulled out her handy black bread stick from somewhere. She had hit so many people with great accuracy and pain, but this black bread stick just wouldn't collapse. It was of surprisingly good quality!
She hit Olde with a stick.
"Don't bring up those things with me. I'm not someone you can brainwash!"
She is a noble, great, kind, and beautiful lord!
"Take me to your territory!"
Olde never imagined that he would come to dismantle someone else's tower, only to be captured and then led back to dismantle his own. What a twist of fate!
It was transferred to my home that same day.
Ald walked ahead, feeling dejected.
He glanced back at Qin Yiyi.
"It's so far to walk, can I take a car? I drove here myself!"
Qin Yiyi's eyes lit up!
"You drove here?"
"Very well, now that's my car, I'll allow you to ride home!"
"Tell me the truth about all the assets and resources in your territory, or I'll send you into the ocean for another diving challenge!"
Have you ever done deep-sea diving? But it's deep-sea diving without oxygen tanks! It's mainly for seeing the underwater starry sky!
"You haven't seen the underwater starry sky, have you? Would you like to take a look?"
No, let's talk this out. Why are you making threats?
Ald dared not speak.
I was just trembling.
"Stop talking, stop talking! I'll take you back to the territory to get the supplies!"
Viscount Alder's territory.
The viscount's territory had over a thousand people, all of whom were laborers. Viscount Ald brought Qin Yiyi into the territory. Apart from the lord's residence, the sewage system in the territory had not been improved, making the entire territory smelly. After the previous lord left, Ald took over this larger territory, but he only focused on exploiting the laborers and did not seriously work on the development of the territory.
Some excrement and urine even spilled out of the sewage pipes, making the area extremely filthy (comparable to the filth and disorder of medieval Europe). It was common to see people urinating behind walls because there weren't enough public toilets.
Qin Yiyi almost fainted as soon as she reached the entrance of the territory.
Accompanying Qin Yiyi were her first henchman, the deep-sea tentacle monster, her second henchman, her father Sid, and about two hundred young and middle-aged orcs.
Sid quickly handed over a mask and gave the deep-sea tentacle monster a provocative look, but Kraken had no idea what that look meant.
This greatly frustrated the elderly father, Sid.
Why does it smell so bad?
The streets of Qin Territory were previously in poor condition, but it had always been a large territory with everything it needed. However, with each successive lord's downfall, the territory shrank, even the railway tracks were overgrown with weeds. Qin Territory relied on its existing sewage system, which was remarkably well-maintained and miraculously never blocked. Furthermore, Alder's reign was short, and as a baronial territory, it didn't have a large population, so the streets were still reasonably acceptable.
However, in this viscountry, Alder tricked a thousand laborers into working for him, and after the last upheaval, only three or four hundred remain.
The losses were devastating.
The streets were filthy on both sides, with only a narrow passage in the middle for one's feet to pass through.
Qin Yiyi frowned, and the tentacle monster next to her also frowned.
Are our excessive tentacles and heightened sensory abilities a problem?
It smells so bad, my hands are about to faint!
