Chapter 16



==================

By the time the three of them rushed to the next room, the heart-wrenching sound had stopped abruptly. They saw the tough guy Aibei leaning against the door frame in tears, and Xiaohong beside him stretched out her wings and patted his shoulder.

Lian Yun asked worriedly, "What happened?"

Aibei pointed at the ground, wanting to cry but unable to: "What kind of leather is this??"

…So that’s what it is.

Lian Yun couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and jokingly said, "What if I said it was bear skin?"

Aibei huddled in the little red feathers, crying: "Then... then I won't talk to you anymore."

They covered the entire ground. How many bears were killed? QAQ!

The beautiful and kind-hearted female lord suddenly turned into a bear-slaying demon.

"Just kidding, I don't even know what animal's skin it is," Lian Yun stopped joking when he saw that he really cared.

"Really?" Abe still didn't believe it.

"real."

Lian Yun repeatedly assured him that this was definitely not a bear skin, and swore that he would never kill a bear again. Only then did Aibei give up.

He breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his stiff face, and followed Xiaohong into the room.

After this incident, Lian Yun suddenly remembered

The two were about to go back to the house to sleep when they suddenly discovered that Lanna had not taken off his cloak and was still holding the sword.

"Aren't you ready to go to bed?" Lian Yun asked curiously.

Lanna pursed her lips slightly, her expression unclear: "I plan to practice sword again."

Lian Yun patted his shoulder and said, "Don't work so hard. You're doing very well now. Take your time. Don't rush."

After all, she is a good lord who cares about her subordinates.

She comforted him while clicking on Lanna's message.

The level is only a few experience points away from level 16, and the attack skill is about to break through level 4.

Lanna said nothing, only nodded respectfully, and then said, "My Lord, you go to the store every day, but you haven't gone today."

After this reminder, Lian Yun remembered that the purchase limit at the store where he waited every day had not been refreshed, so he hurried to the store.

Although she has a gold coin bug, the town is almost isolated from the outside world at present, and the daily store purchase limit is her only way to spend money.

Don't miss a single day.

It was late at night and there was no concept of time here. Lian Yun quickened his pace, hoping not to miss today's purchase restriction.

Fortunately, the store is very close to residential areas.

Lian Yun clicked refresh, and a black box with purple borders appeared in the item box on the panel, looking very mysterious.

[996 Summoning Box: Each time you open it, you have a chance to summon a puppet of a different profession to work for you. It will persist in working 996 hours until its death. It can only be opened once a day. (Additional note: Although the professions are different, you can use it for anything else!)]

[Price: 80,000 gold coins. Note: Each activation consumes 50 points of stamina.]

The last moment...

You can do anything...

This system is really getting more and more weird.

Lian Yun may complain a lot, but just looking at the price you can tell that it is absolutely fair.

purchase!

Ruthless buyer Lian Yun said: Gold coins are just a number to her.jpg

As soon as the summoning box fell into his hand, the heavy sense of life made Lian Yun sigh: "It's worthy of being called 996!"

She put the box away and planned to try to summon it again tomorrow.

When I looked up again, the store's purchase limit had been refreshed again.

Lian Yun couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had refreshed the previous day's purchase limit before dawn.

Thinking of his great luck just now, Lian Yun rubbed his hands and took advantage of today's purchase limit in one go.

[Note: Disposable item. Both parties can send 5-second voice messages to each other. The message disappears automatically after transmission.]

[Price: 500 gold coins]

Although it is not as powerful as the summoning box, it is still a useful thing.

I got two good things in a row. Shopping really does make people feel better.

Lian Yun hummed a little tune as she returned to the residence. Lina was still awake and was sitting on an animal skin against the wall waiting for her to come back.

Lian Yun saw that she was in a bad mood, so he walked over and touched her hair: "What's wrong?"

Lina raised her head, her eyelashes fluttering as she looked at Lian Yun: "Sister Lord, why can't I sign an agreement like them?"

It turned out that the little girl was still thinking about what happened tonight.

"It's still the same reason..." Lian Yun wanted to repeat it, but suddenly stopped.

She realized that she had made the same mistake as most people, and what she wanted to say was no different from "You are still young and don't understand anything."

"I can see that my sister really needs someone to stay in town, so why can't I?"

Lina saw things very clearly. Even if she said nothing or asked nothing, she could still sense what Lian Yun wanted to do and was doing.

She was more mature and sensible than Lian Yun had imagined.

"Indeed, I really need residents." Lian Yun sighed softly and decided to change the way he put it: "But I don't want to accept you just yet. You have your friends, you grew up in that village, and there are many people there that you can't let go of."

"Even if you suddenly want to leave sometimes," Lian Yun said with a serious glint in his eyes, "this is a very serious matter. You have to take root, live, and work in another place from now on. You may not even be able to return to your hometown again."

"And when you return to your hometown, things may have changed and you may no longer see the familiar people and things." Lian Yun's light and graceful voice slowly flowed into Lina's thoughts.

Lina bit her lower lip, trying to process what was said.

"Because I've missed some things. Even if you think you don't miss the past that much, I still hope you can reconsider." Lian Yun pinched Lina's little face and smiled faintly. "You are a very cute girl. I really hope you can become a member of the town. I can accompany you back to the village later."

"You can decide after that, okay?"

Lina thought for a long time, staring at Lian Yun with her green eyes without blinking, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

She rushed over and gave Lian Yun a big hug: "Okay!"

The night sky tonight is still full of stars. The two of them leaned against the window, chatting heart to heart, and fell asleep.

.

"It smells so good!" Lina rubbed her eyes sleepily and looked downstairs.

"It seems that after last night's baptism, your attitude towards garlic has changed drastically." Lian Yun joked.

Aibei rushed in excitedly, holding Lianyun's iron pot: "Sir! This pot! It's really useful!"

Lian Yun nodded repeatedly. After tasting Aibei's cooking skills last night, she expressed her willingness to hand over the iron pot and give the kitchen to Xiong, who really knew how to cook.

After breakfast, the few of them found that the stamina gauges on their heads were full.

"How is it, have you chosen the house?" Lian Yun asked, eager to complete the task.

"I've chosen it!" Aibei said happily, "There's a couple of houses away, and there happen to be two bedrooms. Xiaohong and I will live there."

Lian Yun followed him to the house. It was a bungalow with a large living room and kitchen, and two bedrooms, one large and one small.

"The big one will be for Xiaohong," Aibei said, scratching his head with a smile. "I specially chose one with a big kitchen. You can just come over for meals from now on."

Lian Yun was deeply moved. With a wave of his hand, he moved all the food and kitchen utensils over.

When it was moved to the snowman, it refused to walk on its own like last time and even refused to cool down.

Lina hugged the snowman and said pitifully, "Please keep it. I like it very much."

The snowman tilted his head slightly and leaned against Lina as well.

Lian Yun: ...Okay.

Aibei and Xiaohong both have wind attributes. With a few gusts of wind, they can clean up the dust in the house and then simply decorate it.

The man and the bird followed suit and also painted a bear paw and a feather under the eaves of their own house.

[Ding—Side Quest Progress (3/5)]

[Side Quest: Crowded Houses (I) (In Progress): Congratulations, Lord! Your abilities are truly evident, having gathered two residents so quickly. Please continue recruiting!]

[Mission Progress Reward: Facility Card x 2]

There are new items.

Lian Yun continued clicking on the [Facility Card], which read: [A facility will appear, including but not limited to large weapons, furniture, etc.]

It sounds tempting, so Lian Yun decides to try his luck.

【Using a facility card? 】

"use."

[Congratulations, Lord! You have obtained a wooden watchtower. It can be placed on an open space and is destructible, but not retractable.]

Lian Yun touched his chin. It seemed useless now, but he didn’t know when it would come in handy.

But something this big needs to be placed in a large open space.

There are vacant lots in both the west and south, but the south is already…

"My seeds!" Lian Yun finally remembered the windbreak and the seeds that had been forgotten for a whole day in a trance.

Needless to say, after being devastated by the high temperature yesterday afternoon.

Tears suddenly welled up in Lian Yun's eyes.

She had already made bad plans and came to the southern land with a heavy heart.

——I was pleasantly surprised to find that both plants were intact!

The windbreak seemed unaffected and continued to expand the high-quality soil. The cluster of small round leaves around it also grew lushly.

Lian Yun squatted down and looked carefully, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a circle of dew around the emerald green round leaves.

Lian Yun looked at Lan Na in surprise: "Did you water the plants?"

Lanna denied it.

...That would be amazing.

Lian Yun looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't remember what was so familiar about this cluster of tender buds.

But she was not the type to force herself, so she quickly gave up racking her brains.

She led her men to the eastern edge of the clearing and set down the lookout near the fence.

With a "boom", a lookout tower several people high appeared not far from the crowd, stirring up a cloud of sand.

Xiaohong released her special power at the right time and blew back the flying sand.

Lian Yun looked up at the new facilities and felt good.

She put another facility card in her pocket and prepared to draw the lucky bag.

He has been unlucky three times today. Thinking of the lessons learned from the daily lucky bag, Lian Yun decided not to do it himself.

"Lanna." Lian Yun poked the man beside him, "Tell me—open today's lucky bag."

Lana read out these words obediently, and Lianyun clicked on the lucky bag at the same time.

[Congratulations, Lord! You've received a zongzi gift pack: five pieces in total, both sweet and savory.]

Lian Yun: ...She should have expected that the lucky bag would always be inseparable from food.

However, the two purchase restrictions this morning put her in a very good mood, and Lian Yun decided to distribute these dumplings to everyone tonight.
