Chapter 22: Bought lonesome

The inch-cut man was afraid that those who stayed in the team would lose their hearts, so he decided to go back to Phantom City to settle their commission.

In Xuantian City for more than a week, more than 30 people were fooled away by them.

It was only later that they realized that these people belonged to a small team, and they were attracted to them when they heard that Phantom City had HP potions that increase hp.

Lu Jiu was now staying in the city lord’s mansion. Looking at the background data, there were more than a dozen temporary residents in the city, and she knows that they were all from outside the city.

Besides, the products sold in her shop were so good, how could the residents leave?

As soon as Shen Jufeng came in, he saw Lu Jiu with a soft smile on her face, even a little proud, and seemed to be in a good mood.

“It looks like you’re in a good mood, are things selling well?”

Lu Jiu nodded with a smile, “The Tailor shop and Blacksmith shop have sold nearly half of their products. The pharmacy shop is almost sold out. The restaurant and department store has a relatively stable income, but it is obvious that amusement parks are very popular.”

“That’s good. I’ve inquired here. A large team in the city left Xuantian City to go to Phantom City together a week ago. I think this group of people should be back soon.”

Lu Jiu was never worried that some residents would leave Xuantian City. Even if they did leave, she believed that those people would come back.

“They will come back, I can see that those people have never thought about moving to Phantom City. They mainly want to buy equipment and HP potions.”

They must rely on these if they want to survive in the game world.

After hearing her words, Shen Jufeng showed a smile that both understood the meaning.

Lu Jiu wanted to know what was going on in the mind of the lord of the Phantom City. Fortunately, she could send people to dig walls in other city-states.

How can a person with a real brain not hold back?

If there was a change in the situation, others can know the situation with a mail, so what can be retained?

Even if there were people who live there, it was not the loss of Xuantian City.

“I think that our Xuantian City will be the number one city-state in Yangshan City in the future. There is no need to worry about the loss of residents. As long as it develops well, many people will want to move here.”

Rather than racking your brains to pull people’s heads, it was better to develop dully. Gold always shines, and you were not afraid that others will not see it.

Shen Jufeng knew that she was not bragging and that it was wise to form a team with her.

“Now we have to go out to clear the wilderness. We have been busy with city-state affairs these days, the resources nearby should be cleaned up.”

Speaking of resources, Lu Jiu thought of the black pig: “You are right, but I hope to meet wild monsters like the black pig.”

Not to mention, Shen Jufeng also loves to eat that pork. There were several kinds of sausages made by Old Man Zeng.

“It depends on luck, but I hope to meet a BOSS again, and the resources will come quickly.”

His two pig tusks were sent to the forging shop to make a dagger of bronze grade. Although it was eye-catching, it was better than bare hands.

Except for the pig fangs, all the wolf fang skins obtained before can be made into equipment as long as you paid the NPC. However, success still depends entirely on luck.

Like Lu Jiu with a pig fang in her hand, the production failed.

“It would be great if I could meet a giant hen BOSS, I want to eat chicken.”

Shen Jufeng: “… …”

Not far from Xuantian City, there was a group of people rushing towards the city. They had traveled for nearly two days, and finally, they can go back home.

Pang Liang was the shield guard of the Qingyan team. Seven or eight days ago, he followed the captain and other teammates to go shopping in Phantom City. It has been upgraded to a second-level city-state, and three shops were open.

Among them were the HP potions they need most. As for the equipment, one or two brown iron-level clothes and weapons were sold too fast, and they can’t grab them.

They stayed in Phantom City for three days this time, and the captain sent a message back to Xuantian City two days ago.

“Captain, we come back just like this. Won’t the Phantom City come to us for trouble?” Pang Liang asked his captain.

The captain of the Qingyan team was a young man in his twenties named Dai Xing. He was originally a college student who just graduated, but when doomsday came, the world and the game merged into one.

Dai Xing was lucky enough to get a professional card on the first day of the arrival of the new force, and many of them came to Xuantian City together.

Then these professional players gathered together. He became the captain because he was the strongest.

Responding to Pang Liang’s question, Dai Xing replied flatly: “How can they make trouble? The patrolling NPCs in the city are not decorations. Since the city lord over there is so stupid, we will teach him a lesson.”

Seeing his captain’s arrogant speech, Pang Liang stopped asking questions immediately and continued on his way to try to return to the city as soon as possible.

The other teammates also looked relaxed.

From Dai Xing’s point of view, the owner of Phantom City was just lucky, but has a high vanity and was not very smart.

It was obvious that the city lord was a pioneer player. He announced his identity in a high-profile manner since the establishment of the city-state and soon upgraded to a second-level city-state.

Then he followed the advice of his family and sent people to dig around the city, focusing on professional players.

The news sounds effortless. As the person with the highest status in Phantom City, gossip about him was everywhere in the city.

Dai Xing originally wanted to inquire about the news to see how the situation was going and didn’t let all the team members follow.

The city lord who went over there especially found him. He was very satisfied with their team of more than 30 people and promised to give them some benefits so that they could settle down in Phantom City.

Dai Xing replied with a smile that he would definitely clear the wilderness and settle down early, but he stocked up crazily and returned to Xuantian City.

The group of people returned to Xuantian City soon, because they had registered at Phantom City, the Loan Hall in Xuantian City did not have their information and asked them to re-register.

Pang Liang stretched his waist after registration and muttered: “Oh my god, I’m finally back. Our city-state is second-tier. I’m going to see those shops.”

“Let’s go together, I want to go to the third floor of the department store, and they say that children over 10 years old in the playground over there can also apply for a card.”

“Holy Molly! When I saw the mail, I wanted to go to the playground.”

“… …”

The team members were excitedly discussing where to go next.

Dai Xing received mails from other teammates on the road, explaining the changes in Xuantian City these days.

Especially when he saw the high-quality and cheap products in the shops in the city, he wished he hadn’t decided to go to Phantom City.

He now understands that the price of goods in a city-state was not fixated. The price of a city-state depends entirely on the owner of the city.

In Phantom City, a bottle of HP potion that adds 5 points of HP costs 20 copper coins a bottle. In Xuantian City, you can buy a bottle of HP potion that adds 30 points of HP and 10 points of stamina for 15 copper coins!

The other teammates knew that the captain had been in a bad mood since he received the mail, so they didn’t bother him, and they scattered to the shops they wanted to visit.

Dai Xing went back to his room: “Why the hell did I go to that crappy place, I bought lonesome, I bought a lonesome lesson!”

Dai Xing regretted his mistake at the beginning, and since then decided that no matter what temptations come, he will stick to Xuantian City!
