When some ordinary residents saw the professional players turn around and leave to go to the shops, they felt anxious. They didn’t want to talk to Yao Bingan, buying life-saving things was the most important thing.
Seeing someone leave and run to the shop, others also made a move. Since they will go out of the city and spend some time in the wild, they must buy equipment and props.
When Yao Bingan and his party finally got rid of the siege, they walked forward without looking back.
Although they can get a lot of fighting power with patrolling NPCs if they take them away, there will be riots in the city, and it can be estimated that some people will die.
Cheng Yunshi admired Yao Bingan very much in her heart. Allowing the NPCs to stay in the city-state, at least can guarantee the absolute safety of the city within those seven days.
In Wuyu City, both professional residents and ordinary residents were frantically sweeping up goods. Right now, they were not reluctant to spend money, they can only continue to spend money if they were alive.
The pharmacy was the first to be patronized, but the professional players who came first swept most of the goods. They had sufficient funds, and their purchasing power was not comparable to that of ordinary residents.
All the goods in the shops were quickly swept away, and the next thing was the food outside the city. Ordinary residents were afraid to collect it, they gathered together and set off to the nearby city-states.
In the next few days, professional players were collecting food outside the city. Even if there were ordinary residents among them, they were professional players and family members.
A week passed by so soon, and the residents who haven’t left saw Wuyu City disappear in front of their eyes, like a mirage dissipating in the clouds.
The surroundings were still the same, but the original position of Wuyu City was occupied by giant trees, and it turns back into a forest.

Lu Jiu received a message from Yao Bingan a few days before Wuyu City disappeared, saying that she disbanded the city-state and prepared to live in Xuantian City.
This shocked her. The last time she saw that the city-state was disbanded, it was because the situation of the Phantom City was over.
Afterward, when she talked about the situation, Shen Jufeng was not surprised when he learned the reason: “She is not bad, she knows how to disband the city-state before winter comes.”
Yao Bingan’s refusal was understandable. After all, many residents do not have the strength to go from one city-state to another by themselves.
“After listening to what happened to her, I realized what a good thing I did before.”
She bought all kinds of materials at the beginning, just to make the residents money to trade in the city. Ordinary residents would not be able to kill wild monsters, it would be difficult for them to make up the rent in the early stage.
Although 95% of the materials collected were useless and were still being stored, it gave her a kind of confidence. She understands why the country used to store so much grain. Food was the foundation of the people.
“As a city lord, the supplies must be rich and able to solve the crisis faced by the vast majority of residents at critical moments, so that the city-state can be stabilized for a longer period.”
In the past, Lu Jiu always said that she was rich, but Shen Jufeng felt that Lu Jiu was not bad luck.
Now Xuantian City was still the same as before, the transaction of purchasing materials was still there, anyway, it will never be withdrawn.
Lu Jiu sat on her chair and said bored: “Although the residents are self-sufficient, I still have to improve the living place.”
Although it was autumn now, Lu Jiu spent gold coins to invite three professional collection teams to go to other areas to collect materials.
One of the teams was dedicated to collecting food, and the other two were looking for firewood that was particularly resistant to fire.
As long as they found a collection point, they will report it to Lu Jiu. Then she will directly use the teleportation crystal to establish a channel, making it easier for the collection team to go back and forth and save time.
The game world does not have advanced decoration such as floor heating. The building was still the same as before, and the fireplace was used for heating. At this time, firewood and haystacks were needed.
Usually, the firewood used by the residents for cooking food was available near the city-state. Many trees were easy to break in autumn. Currently, there was no shortage of these in the city-state, and there was still sometime before winter.
“Doesn’t the lodge house have its firewall, or is the wall connected to the floor?” Shen Jufeng looked at the room, there was a fire channel dedicated to burning firewood, and the charcoal fire was fired at the channel. The heat flow along the channels warming the whole room.
Lu Jiu clicked her tongue: “The improvement I’m talking about is to make more small hand heaters. You should have seen it in ancient TV dramas. It is filled with hot water and wrapped with cloth to prevent burns. There is also a handle, which is very convenient.”
The heating props they can make now were all ancient ones, but they were really useful, and Lu Jiu likes them quite a bit.
“Do you want to open more branches in the future? You have too many kinds of things to make.” Shen Jufeng said.
Lu Jiu patted the handle of the chair: “Yes, it’s just I don’t know if we can open a branch. Life is inseparable from the help of various props. I’m going to ask the store manager to get a scythe. Not only it can be used to fight wild monsters, it can also be used to collect food, which is hitting two birds with one stone.”
Shen Jufeng silently lit a candle for the manager of the blacksmith shop. They will probably work day and night. The city lord will ask them to develop new equipment again.
He nodded: “As long as you are happy.”

Yao Bingan explained her whereabouts to several city lords she was familiar with. It took a long time for several city lords to send emails, expressing that if their city-state disbanded in the future, they will also consider settling in Xuantian City.
In addition to Yao Bingan’s team, many former professional players from Wuyu City came to Xuantian City with them. They all knew that the equipment potions sold in Wuyu City were produced in Xuantian City.
Now that even Yao Bingan wants to go there, they naturally follow for future consideration, not to mention they can protect themselves.
Their group of people spent nearly a week on the road before reaching Xuantian City.
When they came to Xuantian City, the first thing they noticed was the weapons on the city wall. The deterrent power of rows of cannons and crossbows was not in vain.
Yao Bingan, who was originally the city lord, knew how powerful these weapons were.
Cheng Yunshi had already heard about the weapons for protecting the city from her brother, and when she saw the weapons on the walls of Xuantian City, she couldn’t help admiring: “It turns out that the cannons and crossbows that protect the city are like this. The city lord of Xuantian City is really rich. There are 80 weapon slots, but they are all armed.”
1 gold coin for a weapon, 80 of them were filled, which means it costs 80 gold coins. Even adding up all their assets, it was not enough.
The rest of the professional players who followed, although they didn’t know about the defense weapons, heard what Cheng Yunshi said. They knew then that these weapons were not low in combat power.
Yao Bingan secretly thought about it and agreed: “It seems that we made the right choice to come here.” She also looked at the expressions of the surrounding residents.
Everything doesn’t look much different from the last time they came, and what people do was still the same.
“Let’s go to the loan hall and put down the things first, and then discuss other things.” Team Leader Xiang suggested.
Yao Bingan nodded, turned around, and said to the professional players who came together: “Then we will part here, I wish you all a new world here in the future.”
“You too.” The other party was also blessed.
Yao Bingan and the others have been to Xuantian City before, so they didn’t rush to take a stroll. They go to settle down first, while the professional players who came with them all went to see the overall situation of Xuantian City first.
After they came, they inquired and found out that there were ordinary residents and professional residents collecting grain in the field outside the city.
