[Host, she's coming this way.]
"Um?"
Fang Yuan, who was sitting inside the house urging the rice to grow faster, stopped what he was doing.
She checked the time; more than half an hour had passed. They were still alive?
"How far is it from here?" Fang Yuan asked.
1800 meters
"Has the person not suffered heatstroke yet?"
They've been there for over half an hour, and the outside temperature is over fifty degrees Celsius.
This guy is still alive?
Soon
Based on the weather, distance, and time, she wouldn't be able to reach this side of the hill.
Fang Yuan didn't speak, nor did he go out.
The dazzling sunlight outside made Fang Jia feel like she was hallucinating.
She pointed ahead, muttering to herself, "Water...I want water...lots of water..."
Finally, he collapsed to the ground.
[Host, the person has collapsed.]
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went to the kitchen to cook porridge.
Not long after Fang Jia collapsed, a dozen or so travelers carrying bows and arrows arrived and discovered Fang Jia.
The system reported again:
[Host, a group of people is heading this way. They've spotted the original female lead.]
"She's not dead yet?"
Fang Yuan stopped what he was doing and asked immediately.
The system replied: [She's probably dead. After checking her breathing, those people ignored her and just stripped her clothes off.]
"What? What are they planning to do to her?" Fang Yuan was startled.
Are the people here so thirsty that they don't even spare the dead?
[Host, you're overthinking it. They just want the clothes she's wearing.]
After all, Fang Jia's clothes were of very good quality, so these animal-skinned savages naturally couldn't bear to throw them away.
"That's good, that's good. By the way, you said these people are coming this way?"
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he asked with delight.
Isn't this to deliver crystal cores to her? That's great news.
Sure enough, as soon as the original female lead was gone, her good luck came.
Yes, they must have come to avoid the sun too.
"Then I should go and welcome the new guest."
Fang Yuan telepathically instructed Kaja to watch the porridge in the pot while he went to the reception hall to wait for the guests to arrive.
Soon, a group of ten strong men dressed in animal skins arrived behind the huge stone lion mountain.
Turning around, I found a wooden house behind the mountain.
"Strange, why is there an extra wooden hut here?" the leader said warily.
They had traveled this road many times; they had stopped here to rest just a month ago.
How come there's an extra wooden house after only a month?
This place doesn't produce timber.
"Captain, shall we go take a look?" another man asked.
"Let's go, let's go take a look!" the man called captain said through gritted teeth.
With so many evolved beings, are they really afraid of this little wooden house that suddenly appeared?
If there's real danger, we can just dismantle it.
“Yes, we came out to hunt, what are we afraid of?” the other man nodded in agreement.
As the group walked to the front, they discovered the open door and Fang Yuan sitting inside.
They were startled at first, then quickly walked over.
"Hello, miss. We are the hunting team from the Qingyan tribe. My name is Qinghe, and I am a level four evolved being. May I ask about this wooden house?"
Captain Qinghe stepped forward, gave Fang Yuan a local greeting, and asked.
The woman was dressed so elegantly that she was clearly of extraordinary status, at least a psychic.
"This is my inn, a place for people to rest and stay, but you need crystal cores or something of equal value in exchange," Fang Yuan replied with a smile.
"We need crystal cores to rest? Then we won't rest." The other man quickly shook his head.
Hunting isn't easy for them either. They haven't even caught any prey yet, and they need crystal cores to rest, which he can't bear to do.
Fang Yuan looked at the man leading the group, named Qinghe, and said with a smile:
"How about this, you provide a level one wood-type crystal core, and I'll let you come inside to rest for a while. I'll provide you with free clean water."
As Fang Yuan spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, and ten large glasses appeared on the table next to him, each filled with water.
"This...you are...the King?"
Fang Yuan's actions caused Qing He's expression to change, and he stammered, "What do you mean?"
He had been to the royal city for trade before, and as a level four evolver himself, he naturally knew the king's ability—the domain!
Is this wooden hut the domain of this king?
"King? Queen?"
"·····"
The group exchanged glances, then quickly lowered their heads.
I initially thought I had encountered a nobleman, but it turns out he was a king.
"Yeah, otherwise what idiot would build a wooden house here?"
Fang Yuan, still smiling, looked at Qing He: "Want to come in and give it a try? I'm just here to earn crystal cores, I won't eat you!"
"Yes...yes!"
Qinghe nodded, then handed over a level-two crystal core with both hands:
"Please keep this safe!"
He never expected that he would see the king in this desert, a king he couldn't even see in the capital. He felt like he was dreaming.
"A level two crystal core? You can choose two rooms upstairs to stay for one night, but each room can only accommodate a maximum of two people."
As Fang Yuan spoke, he directly absorbed the crystal core.
Once she had the crystal core in her hands, she had no intention of returning it.
"Huh? A room is this expensive?"
It was the same silly boy who couldn't bear to part with it, muttering to himself.
"Qingshi, shut up. This is an adult's domain. How can it be compared to other places?"
Qinghe scolded Qingshi, afraid that the guy might offend someone by being too blunt.
"Don't worry, my inn is a long-term business. We're honest and fair to all, young and old, and we won't ruin our reputation."
Fang Yuan waved to the others as he spoke:
"Come in first. If you're in a hurry, rest for a while, and I'll provide you with some food."
If you want to stay here, I'll sell three more rooms, but I won't provide food.
"Thank you, sir. We'll just rest for a bit!"
Although this queen seemed easy to talk to, given her status, they didn't dare to move in easily.
"It's so cool here!"
As soon as he entered the room, Qing Shi exclaimed in surprise.
It's so hot outside, but it's so cool and refreshing inside. Is this the King's Domain?
I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to cultivate to the level of a king?
"Have some water first. Whether you want food or a hotel room, the water is provided free of charge. You can have a sip of water before you consider it."
Fang Yuan then dropped another bombshell.
"Really? Free water?"
Another young man asked a question as he moved closer to the table.
The water is so clear, he turned to look at the Qinghe River.
