Those who come in are all selected and are considered to be very knowledgeable about the rules. Even those who don't understand can quickly adapt to this life with the help of others.
that is....
They lacked basic necessities, their own food supplies were insufficient, and they didn't have enough money. Those who had some money couldn't find any trading places in the entire territory.
“We have a market transaction within our territory every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 9 PM. I need to ask the administrators if we can add you to it!”
Bright became anxious: "Do we also need to pay a market transaction tax? We know about that, but how much is it approximately?" He wasn't opposed to paying this fee because other territories had this fee, and he considered himself quite savvy.
Having grown accustomed to being exploited, he actually volunteered to pay the fees. Moreover, because his initial impression of this territory was quite good, and no one had exploited him so far, he trusted everything about this territory and was willing to be exploited by others.
Come to think of it, the market transaction tax in this territory shouldn't be too high.
He came out with his wife and children, and he still had some gold coins on him. If it was less than three silver coins, he decided to pay the fee.
The unicorn lizard, who had been stopped to inquire about market transactions, scratched its green scalp, which was smooth and hairless.
He was a little confused; how should he introduce himself to this stranger?
However, their captain said that outsiders are guests and they all have to pay taxes to the territory and generate revenue for it. All this money goes to the lord, so they should greet people with a smile and answer their questions enthusiastically.
Um...
"We don't have a market tax because... well, our territory is full of slaves, and the market we run is a slave market. I don't know if White Rabbit and the others will allow temporary residents to come in... But... it seems that the market is managed by Calico Cat. I'll go ask them who's in charge and whether you can come in!"
"Oh, by the way, the management and maintenance notices for our territory are all on the tavern's bulletin board. You can check it out!"
The unicorn lizard scratched its head and took advantage of the last moments of its lunch break to go find its squad leader.
Sigh, his memory isn't very good, which he especially envies mammals, whose brains are much more developed. He has lizard genes, and lizards are one of the few ovoviviparous animals, so they don't have good memories. He often memorizes the territorial rules until late at night!
Sigh, the territory is great in every way, except for the part about constantly learning, improving skills, and memorizing texts, as the lord said...
*Slap!* He was walking in the middle of the road when someone slapped him.
He angrily looked up, ready to argue with them. Bullying was not allowed in their territory, and he was going to complain to the lord!
I looked up.
Oh, it's my own mother!
That's alright then.
"What are you dawdling about here for? You'll be late in five minutes! Get to your workplace, work hard, improve your performance, and build up your territory!"
His mother shouted slogans and kicked him again.
He stared at the huge clock in the center of the territory. It was 12:30 noon in the royal city. His mother always did this: she would wake him up at six o'clock and say the sun was already high in the sky. He arrived home at 12:05 and finished eating at 12:15. His mother said he had been eating for an hour.
Even the lord said that chewing food slowly is good for the human body!
Ah, they were orcs, he forgot.
Of course, it wasn't just his mother; other mothers were like that too.
Your mother hits you without any reason.
Okay, he'll go ask the new guy about market trading.
The unicorn lizard huffed and puffed as it walked forward, leaving Bright standing there dumbfounded.
Are all these people living in this entire territory slaves?
These people were neatly dressed and clean, eating white rice. He could vaguely hear the sounds of school children playing in the distance. Was this... a slave territory?
He looked around, as if he had entered an incredible place. Everything in this territory came back to him. The public water room was cleaned every hour during the day, and the people around him were all busy, but their complexions were rosy and unusually energetic. Everyone's face was beaming with smiles, and their eyes shone with anticipation for the future. Very few people littered on the streets, and even those who did would pick up trash and put it in the nearby bins.
He vaguely heard the people next to him talking about how He had been penalized and had his performance bonus increased or decreased again. He also heard a child passing by pleading with his mother if he could have pancakes on the weekend. Pancakes! Those are made from flour! It's good enough if we can eat white rice, let alone pancakes made from flour. They use oil and fat. If this happened in the outside world, any child who made such a request would definitely get a beating.
But... the mother hesitated for a moment before agreeing, and even asked the child to work hard to earn food as well.
It's a bit unbelievable. This little kid can earn a living? Aren't there all the stories of half-grown boys eating their fathers out of house and home? So many people don't even dare to have children because of that!
He slapped himself; it hurt!
This isn't a dream!
Why do I keep hearing people talking in their sleep?
He decided to go back and tell his wife what he had seen and heard that day!
He slapped himself again!
It hurts so much!
This really isn't a dream!
Bright ran back to his tent and said sternly to his wife, "Honey, you slapped me? Remember! Slap me hard!"

Qin Yiyi's trip to purchase supplies in Chaotic City was unsuccessful. The damage to the surrounding territories meant that several lords were busy repairing their lands, causing supplies to sell quickly. By the time she arrived, there were hardly any left, and the prices had gone up.
In addition, the medicines she wanted to buy, as well as the weapons traded on the special black market (a fictional world setting, not related to reality, please be lenient with the review), were extremely expensive in the Chaotic Territory and were no longer within her consideration.
On his way back with the goods, Kade ran into Qin Yiyi at the city gate. Kade now respected Qin Yiyi a lot because he wanted to stay in Qin Territory. More importantly, he wanted to buy Qin Territory's zero-pollution amplification food. He quietly inquired around and found that this food was not sold to the public. Other territories, including Chaos City, were unaware of it and did not sell it. This proved that it was something that Qin Yiyi alone possessed.
In order to leave a good impression on Qin Yiyi, he took the initiative to share his information as a merchant: "My lord, Chaos City is a mixed bag. Only exiles live here and barely make a living by taking tavern quests. Why don't you go to Storm City, which is further away? There are more kinds of things there, and you can find what you want. The prices are also more reasonable than in Chaos City!"
