I Live on the Land in Global Games

Chapter 116 - 116 115 Identity Exposed116: Chapter 115: Identity Exposed 116: Chapter 115: Identity Exposed As these newcomers watched with awe, the original players of the territory couldn’t help but straighten their backs and lift their chins, brimming with pride.

Some even wandered around the territory, pretending to be casual, ready to clear up any questions from the curious newcomers, basking in their admiring and envious gazes.

Old Mao specifically chose a spot where newcomers were passing by, carefully and skillfully digging up asparagus roots, albeit extremely slowly and in awkward positions.

Sure enough, a newcomer curiously asked what he was doing.

Old Mao glanced at them, “This is asparagus.

Do you know Mu Ying?

The one at the top of the leaderboard?”

“Of course I know, the lord of Qingshan Village, a level 4, 99% Druid,” the newcomer gave a thumbs up.

This left Old Mao dumbfounded.

They were new here, weren’t they?

Even I’m not sure who the lord is, how could they know?

However, as an old resident of the territory, he couldn’t lose his composure, quickly regaining control of his facial expression, “Right, it’s her.

This is a mutant plant she discovered.

The tuber of the asparagus dries and can be ground into powder for application on wounds to stop bleeding.

The flowers it blooms can emit light at night, and they’re very easy to grow; you can’t kill them by stepping on them.

It’s said that the berries it forms are edible too, but it’s not the season for them yet, and no one has tried them.

Mu Ying planted many of them around the territory after discovering this plant, but you cannot harvest too much at once as it could harm the plant’s growth.

I am just digging up the tuber.”

As he spoke, Old Mao began to believe himself.

If Mu Ying wasn’t the lord, why would she go through so much trouble planting these for the benefit of others?

He sneaked a glance towards the lake, impressive indeed!

At the lake, Mu Ying, who had particularly good hearing and wasn’t far from where Old Mao and the others were, was puzzled.

Where did they get their information?

Was her identity as the lord exposed just like that?

She glanced at the wolf pack still grooming themselves and the wolf pup biting at her pant leg, refusing to let her go.

With one movement, she also transformed into a wolf.

Once she was in her wolf form, she could no longer speak human language, nor would she have to worry about being questioned further.

Who’s the lord they are talking about if not Mu Ying, and what does it have to do with me as the White Wolf?

Mu Ying was relieved.

Thinking darkly about how her identity was exposed, she never imagined it to be the handy work of Jiu San’s loose lips; otherwise, she would never have brought him over.

Jiu San, who had just found a nice vacant tree house and was modifying its appearance and expanding the house, shuddered.

“Resident Identity Card?

Official residents free of entrance fees?”

“Quarry Camp hiring long-term?”

“Breeding Camp buying thorny ball grass?”

“Mushroom Man Theater’s nighttime movies?”

“Public vegetable garden for moderate use?”

The only thought on the newcomers’ minds on their first day: all territories are the same, so why are you showing off?

How can anyone bear to leave?

They still couldn’t bear to rent a tree house, each setting up a tent in the area around the lake where tree houses were scarce.

As the rumors about her being the lord escalated, Mu Ying completely relaxed, figuring, let them know, since she was about to level up to five anyway.

Having mastered the use of bows and both short and long swords, she was no longer afraid of being attacked by people.

Now, unlike before, her combat abilities owed more to the diverse tactics than to Druid Spells.

She used attack spells less often, while her new favorites were the support spells.

She had gotten used to enhancing herself with buffs every time she went out.

Tree Skin Skill, Divine Movement Technique, Spider Walk Skill, Enhanced Attributes – all in one go.

As the duration of these spells is measured in hours, a single application lasted half a day.

Thus, she wasn’t worried anymore about running out of Mana Value and being left helpless.

Her innate weapons in wolf form, her swordsmanship and archery in human form, along with the green witch’s magic, and even the flying broom, made her capabilities in sustained combat and escape among the best.

Considering the second place on the current level leaderboard was only at level 3, 85% progress, the threat players posed to her wasn’t that significant anymore.

Moreover, based on the information from the Resident Identity Card, there were only nine official residents.

Excluding Professor Su, Professor Du, and Liu Luoluo, who obtained official resident status through their jobs, only six people were awarded because of their spots on both the level and achievement leaderboards.

Among these, aside from herself, she knew Huo Shaobai, Nie Ying, and Li Wei, all of whose characters were guaranteed.

The other three people she wasn’t familiar with, but they had no real power in the territory either, their rankings were at the bottom, the kind that could drop out of the list if they weren’t careful.

So, the threat within the territory was still very minimal.

“Boss Mu, are you alright!”

Liu Luoluo ran over in a rush, lowering her voice as she spoke.

Mu Ying shook her wolf head and stealthily knocked down Xiao Shiyin sitting on her paw.

“Ah, I don’t know how the rumor got out, but don’t worry, if anyone dares to think about targeting you, I, Liu Luoluo, will be the first to disagree,” Liu Luoluo raised her voice.

“Just look at the other private territories.

Not everyone can be a good Lord.

The Lingtian Village in the capital may be cheap, but its sub-camps aren’t sustainable.

Players with poor combat skills even struggle to fill their stomachs there.

The Luoxia Camp is even worse, its Lord won’t let outsiders in, practically turning the camp into a private estate.

The worst is Feihong Village, the Lord there is like a tyrant, not even as free as the players in a No Master Camp.

Anyway, I just think our Qingshan Village is the best, with great development, a good atmosphere, plenty of opportunities, and so many cute family animals.

These aren’t things just anyone can achieve.

Not to mention whether the Lord role could be changed, even if it could, no one could do better than Mu Ying!”

“Well said!

I also support Mu Ying!” Huo Shaobai and his teammates also stood out.

“Mu Ying!”

“Mu Ying!”

...

Perhaps some people had bad thoughts when they first heard the news, but Liu Luoluo’s words struck a chord.

Some thought back to the zombie siege, where they made a fortune that helped them survive the week of rain and zombies, which Mu Ying led.

Some remembered surviving on the vegetables from the garden after a rainstorm, which Mu Ying had planted with others in the rain.

Some thought of the Hemostatic Powder they used when injured, which Mu Ying had shared for free, and the Asparagus she had planted that was visible throughout the territory.

Some recalled the goblins that used to roam and sneak-attack them, which Mu Ying had disciplined.

And the warnings from Mu Ying when the ghouls appeared.

And the recent job openings.

Although Mu Ying was ferocious in battle and never soft on enemies, she was definitely not a bad person, and no one dared to say they could do better than her.

Even if someone managed to steal the Lord’s title through great effort, it would likely end with them being scorned.

Not to mention they couldn’t beat Mu Ying; just thinking about how she stabbed the zombies in the head and the way she shot through a ghoul’s tongue with an arrow stopped any wild ideas.

Moreover, no one could clearly say how the Lord’s title was obtained, or how to seize it.

Having thought this through, the greedy notions born from selfish thoughts were suppressed by reason, and they too joined the shouting crowd.

Once they shouted out, it felt surprisingly exhilarating, and immediately everyone became even more fired up.
