Chapter 156: Arrival

After the Dragon City was disbanded, the deputy captain and the others slowly moved forward on the road. They were also lucky. The weather was good on the second day of departure.

They also encountered wild monsters on the road, but the group of them were able to deal with them, and they didn’t encounter them many times. Sometimes they didn’t encounter them once a day, only twice at most.

After traveling like this, they finally arrived at their destination, the Xuantian City.

Seeing the crowds of people outside the city, the ordinary residents who followed the deputy captain and his companions were almost in tears. They had not experienced such peaceful days for a long time.

The group of people supported each other and slowly walked into Xuantian City. As soon as they entered, they saw the system prompting them to fill in basic information.

There were also two city rules set by the city mayor.

The deputy captain had no objection and said to the others: “Fill it in, they are just asking about your previous occupation.”

Everyone else listened to him and went to the dormitory after filling in the information.

After walking outside the dorm, they saw people sweeping the road. There hasn’t been much snow these days, but the people shoveling the snow were still working hard and checking back and forth in the area they were responsible for.

“There are people shoveling snow here.” A middle-aged woman sighed.

In the dragon city before, no one cared about the snow covering the roads. Later, when they escaped, they felt like they had no solid ground when walking on the roads.

“It means we made the right choice to come here.”

Hearing this, other ordinary residents nodded. Professional residents can have a place wherever they go, while ordinary residents have to rely on the city-state’s living customs.

A group of strangers came to the city-state. The residents of the city did not pay much attention to them. A week ago, people from other city-states also moved here one after another.

More than a dozen city-states in Jinjiang District have been disbanded in the past two weeks, all for various reasons. The main reason was that conflicts within the city could not be resolved.

There were originally four or five city-states close to Xuantian City, but now there were only two left. The others were gone, so more people poured into the city a week ago.

When they arrived, Yao Bingan had already received the email from the deputy captain. She happened to be leaving the city, so she went to check him out while they were registering.

Watching a group of people registering and starting to go upstairs, the deputy captain’s family members had also gone to their rooms. When he saw Yao Bingan coming, he immediately stepped forward.

The two met and shook hands in a friendly manner: “Thank you very much for your help, otherwise, our journey here might not go so smoothly.”

While on the way, the deputy captain also traded with Yao Bingan to buy some potions.

Yao Bingan just shook her head: “It’s okay. We used to hunt wild monsters together before in the wild. Now that you’re here, we can hunt together once again.”

The deputy captain lowered his head. A grown man with a wife and children was about to cry: “You know, my child was cold and had a fever on the way here. Everyone doesn’t know what to do. I also didn’t know what to do, so I was really scared, but fortunately, the potion you sold us worked, and he recovered after a few hours.”

Seeing that he was about to cry, Yao Bingan just sighed secretly: “It’s good that the child is alright. Xuantian City has a lot of medicines for treatment, and almost everyone has a bottle of them. The temperature in the city is quite good, but there is no food to collect outside. The ordinary residents don’t go out, so no one has gotten sick so far.”

“It’s good that no one is sick. My child got sick, probably because he hadn’t traveled that too long, so he suddenly developed a fever. My wife was so anxious that she almost forgot that we bought medicine to treat typhoid fever.” The deputy captain began to tell her that his child was sick.

At this time, he was thankful that the world turned into a game. A bottle of medicine can immediately cure any disease. Otherwise, in a place where there was no hospital, people would die easily.

The children were the darlings of their parents. Yao Bingan understood his mood: “Okay, you are finally here. The city-state near Xuantian City disbanded, and many people came here. The city has been quite lively recently. Once you settle in, you’ll learn more about this place. You can decide whether to form your team or join someone else’s team.”

Yao Bingan has no intention of letting the deputy captain follow her. The most important thing for a person to stay in a place is to establish his roots.

The deputy captain wiped his face, nodded, and said: “Okay, I’ll go out and take a look when the time comes. I’ve also been here before.”

Yao Bingan reminded: “This is already a third-level city-state. You should also check out the newly opened stores. They are all good, especially in the training room. You can go there to train yourself without leaving the city.”

The deputy captain did not expect that Xuantian City would be upgraded so quickly. The last time he came, it was a second-level city-state, but this time it was already a third-level city-state. In Jinghe District, he heard that there were not many third-level city-states, just a few here and there.

“Thank you very much. I’ll treat you to a good meal when I get settled.”

Yao Bingan didn’t refuse. After all, it doesn’t hurt to have many friends in the city: “Okay, I want to go out of the city with other teammates, you can do yours first.”

The deputy captain went to his room, where his wife and parents were already decorating the room. Because the room in the hostel was small, they chose two adjacent rooms.

“How is it? Did you thank City Lord Yao properly?” The deputy captain’s mother still couldn’t change her name to City Lord Yao Bingan.

“Well, she has work to do now, but we agreed that I will treat her to dinner.”

The deputy captain’s child was playing in the room. After two weeks of traveling, the child was very happy to be able to settle down.

“I’m going to take the kids outside to take a look. Let’s go to a restaurant in the city for dinner today.”

In the past, when they were on the road, they ate nothing but the ready-to-eat meal. Although it was not cold, it was still not as good as freshly cooked hot food.

After Yao Bingan separated from the deputy captain, she gathered with her teammates and left the city.

Li Aoting saw her and asked: “Are they okay?”

In this season, it was not as easy to get from Jinghe District to Jinjiang District, unlike other seasons.

Yao Bing’an nodded: “It’s okay. It’s just that the deputy captain’s child contracted typhoid fever on the road. He took the medicine and recovered in a few hours.”

Li Aoting heard that no one had an accident on the road, so she asked others: “I didn’t expect that people could get sick. We have been out in the wild for many days, but we have never gotten sick.”

Yao Bingan quickly fanned the air in front of her: “Don’t say that. I don’t know if you will jinx us, but I think we should be fine. Our health is better than that of ordinary residents.”

For example, the deputy captain and the others were on their way, but his child fell ill, while the others were just a little wilted.

Li Aoting smiled and said: “Okay, I understand. There have been many professional players in the city recently, and we have to expand the scope of our wild monster clearing.”

Nearly half of the new residents who have recently flocked to Xuantian City were professional players. They did not expect that this place would have such a high status in the minds of other professional players.

“That’s for sure. The equipment and props available in the city are so cheap. Instead of coming here to buy them, they might as well take the opportunity to settle here. After all, anyone who knows a little bit should know that the number of people who can settle in a city-state is limited. Otherwise, why would we come here?”

Professional players not only pay attention to the rewards for killing wild monsters but also pay attention to their equipment and props. Naturally, they want high quality but not too high prices.

Li Aoting said: “So recently, I bought some more things to store up. Just in case the number of people increases too much that the shops in the city fail to catch up in sales.”
