I Live on the Land in Global Games

Chapter 346 - 346 242 Big Fish346: Chapter 242: Big Fish 346: Chapter 242: Big Fish Before long, the evening tide arrived.

Compared to the bright and beautiful tide under the morning sun, the tide at this time was bathed in moonlight, mysterious and solitary.

The sea water splashed against the body, bringing a faint chill.

“Hey, Lord Sister, you’re here.

You’ve made your sister search hard for you!” Sharon had appeared on the beach at some point.

Without turning her head, Mu Ying said, “I’m watching the tide, do you want to join?

There’s still room for one more person here.”

Lily also looked at Sharon curiously.

“...” Sharon shivered at the thought of the wet place, “You must be joking, Lord Sister.

I don’t like wet places.”

Mu Ying, of course, knew she didn’t like it, and it wasn’t just a dislike, it was probably outright fear, considering that water was like sulfuric acid to them.

“Besides, it’s no fun hiding inside a turtle shell all day.

Won’t you give your sister a chance?” Sharon added.

“Huh?

What did you say?

The sound of the waves is too loud; I can’t hear clearly!” Mu Ying dug at her ear with her little finger.

Sharon: “...”

You were listening clearly just now!

She was livid, not believing that she would never leave the territory!

Unable to swallow her pride, Sharon transformed into a Black Crow and flew towards Mu Ying.

She was promptly thrown outside of the camp.

Trying to get back in, the words emerged on the Territory Shield indicating she would have to pay a fine for breaking the rules of the territory before she could enter normally.

Was she, Sharon, someone who lacked that bit of money?

After paying the fine, she came back in, “I refuse to believe you will never leave the territory!”

Mu Ying’s mouth curved up slightly; that was easy money, wasn’t it?

“Actually, I did leave the territory,” Mu Ying kindly reminded her, speaking the absolute truth.

She had left the territory just yesterday, and so many people had seen it.

Sharon certainly was aware; she had also visited that Undersea Corridor camp today, but it was surrounded by sea water.

Sometimes she really despised her own body, unable to bathe in sunlight, or touch clean water, for darkness was their only refuge.

Being engulfed in darkness herself, it was like pulling others into the abyss, especially those who lived as she once did.

“What’s with the Druid soaking in the sea every day?

Are you pledging allegiance to the Sea God?” Sharon wanted to provoke her further.

Mu Ying shook her head, “Don’t be so superficial; the ocean is part of nature too!”

“Sister Yingying, is there something over there?” Lily pointed to the sea.

Mu Ying squinted and looked; indeed, there was something, a person!

He stood on something unknown, rapidly approaching the land.

Mu Ying saw what seemed to be a large blue fish.

As it reached the shallow water, the big blue fish slowly revealed its form.

That pattern looked very familiar to Mu Ying.

It resembled Kou, Zhuang Zhou’s mount, from a certain game.

The person on it had short flaxen hair and light brown eyes.

Although by appearance he wasn’t from Xia Country, nor was he dressed as Zhuang Zhou from the game, the casual manner in which he sat cross-legged, propping his head with his right hand, made it clear he was a trialist.

Mu Ying even guessed which Trial World he came from.

I’m really curious what a Trial World designed like this game would look like?

Can one really choose from various heroes and characters?

If each hero has their own Skill, then the value of this Trial World would be huge!

This person has already reached the shallows, very close to the shore; surely, he must have seen them, yet he still keeps his posture, could it be he has some serious illness?

Mu Ying muttered to herself.

Unexpectedly, not three minutes had passed when the blue fish suddenly dissipated, and the man plopped into the sea.

Only then did Mu Ying and the others notice that there was a small wooden boat behind the tail of the big fish.

The man’s landing spot was not deeper than waist-high water, but it was high tide now, and the waves pushed him for quite some time before he could stand firm, relying solely on the rope attached to his belt, which was tying the little wooden boat.

As the tide carried the boat closer to the shore, he was also dragged nearer to the coast.

It took a while before he managed to stand up and struggle toward Mu Ying and the others, pulling the boat with him.

“Hey, friends, can you tell me where I am?

Is this within Xia Country?”

Before Mu Ying and the others could answer, he seemed to notice something and suddenly realized, “Is this...

mermaids?

And a panda?

This is Qingshan Town?

You’re Mu Ying!”

Mu Ying: “...”

Sorry, it was her recent thoughts that were a bit too loud; this man might have seen people just now, but he definitely didn’t see clearly!

Maybe his Perception isn’t great, or his vision under dark conditions isn’t good.

Mu Ying nodded, “Are you a Trialist?”

“How did you know?” the man asked in surprise.

“The fish you were ‘riding,’ was it a Skill or a Spell?

It doesn’t seem like something from existing Professions, right?

Guessing doesn’t cost me anything.”

With that counter-question, he sort of admitted it indirectly.

“Let’s introduce ourselves properly.

I am Edwin, one of the Trialists from Deep Blue Star.

I don’t know if you’ve seen the posts I made but I’m the first one who noticed that you’re also a Trialist, ah, we’re all smart people indeed!” Edwin leaned forward, attempting to give a gentleman’s bow.

“Thud!” His head bumped against the invisible Territory Shield, and the newest edition of the territory rules appeared on it, the words “Entry Fee: 5 copper coins/day” particularly eye-catching and prominent.

“Pfft!” Lily couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Sister Yingying is smart, but you don’t seem to be for sure!

Hahaha!”

Mu Ying thought he was rather unfortunate.

Edwin gave an embarrassed smile and conjured five copper coins in his hand, tossing them at the protective shield.

When he walked forward again, there was no longer any obstruction.

The copper ring on his hand must be a Space Ring too.

“I’ve seen your post, and I’m honored that you chose Qingshan Town.

I believe this place will not betray your trust,” Mu Ying said.

Although he seemed a bit unreliable, there were now only eight Trialists on Deep Blue Star including herself, and each was a rare talent.

She was a Trialist herself and knew too well the advantages that Trialists had.

She wasn’t after anything else but the novel experiences they brought from the Trial World.

They could earn wealth better than ordinary players, at least they weren’t short of money.

Those who aren’t short of money have greater spending power, and as long as they spend money, she could earn taxes from it.

A territory with more wealthy people would develop better, and even a market for more precious items would emerge.

“So, any benefits for me?” Edwin, hearing Mu Ying’s courteous words, rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

“No,” Mu Ying shook her head, “Positions are competed for based on ability.

If you have a special talent, when there’s a corresponding job recruitment, you can apply.

By the way, you’ve given up on your warrior Profession to pursue Cultivation, right?

If you’re not on the list, but you’re a Trialist, you can also get official resident status directly, avoiding the entry fee in the future.

You’ll have the right to buy and sell a Tree House.

For details, you can check at the Territory Notice Board yourself.”
