I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 78 - 054 The Soaring Professional_2

With this thought, a group became even more excited.

Watching them from aside, O’Neill and Lucas, the two Beastmen who had followed the team, saw their demeanor and felt their disdain for Humans diminish considerably.

“These Humans are not entirely useless; at least they know how to work hard,” O’Neill huffed.

Not only were they hardworking, but the important thing was their respectful attitude toward the Beastmen.

Unlike other Humans who either wanted to fight or were utterly terrified, life was a bit tougher than in Overlord Village, but at least it was comfortable!

Lucas, reflecting on O’Neill’s sentiments, became more somber, “If such a territory becomes powerful, facing our Beastman Territory in the future…”

Hearing this, O’Neill lazily replied, “So what?

We Beastmen have also taken plenty from Human Territories.

Survival of the fittest—isn’t that normal?

Why overthink it?

As long as life is comfortable, that’s enough.

Worrying too much won’t make those Nobles in the Beastman Territory give us more benefits.

These Humans give us more, anyway!”

Lucas: “…”

— Although he didn’t like hearing it, it made too much sense.

Just as Lucas was about to say something else, Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng called out in unison from a distance, “O’Neill, Lucas, come help, and there will be extra food for you tonight!”

“Okay.” The two Beastmen responded instinctively.

After responding, their expressions stiffened.

But thinking of the variety of delicious food made in the cafeteria, the two hurriedly followed.

Lake.

“Are we really going to find a pack of Demon Beasts here?

I heard there’s not much around here.”

“It’s precisely because there aren’t many Demon Beasts here that we have an opportunity.

There are so many teams in other places, fighting over bosses is just luck, and trying to get even a bit of Experience Points from the slightly stronger Demon Beasts is tough with so many competing.

It’s better to try our luck here—I refuse to believe that this resource point is just a scenic spot.” Cao Jingshan said straightforwardly.

Speaking of which, he was part of the second batch that arrived at Hope Village but still couldn’t make his mark based on strength.

Currently, the strongest force in the territory was the Undead Army led personally by Bayer, all Professionals of the ten-level, with unmatched strength.

To avoid competing with them, they would take on tasks in faraway places each day, which didn’t affect them much.

Next were the teams led by Li Xingteng and Zhou Zhengping.

Whether individually or as a group, they were impressive and familiar with the vicinity.

They had cleared many Demon Bosses, but they didn’t fight competitively, leaving some for the other teams.

Then came Ling Mingzhi, who, though new, had carved out his own territory with sheer determination.

There were also various other individual teams like Zhong Yongnian’s.

As for him, leading the Bowman Team, he was also quite strong, but with his high Damage and many competitors, he was easily overshadowed in group battles.

Thus, he had to find a unique approach.

He did not want to fall behind those others.

This lake was a resource point around their territory; while it didn’t have many other resources, it was rich in wood and Stone, attracting many when they needed supplies.

Occasionally, low-level Demon Beasts would appear, and over time, it became a place mostly visited by low-level Residents.

But Cao Jingshan still believed that a resource spot like this couldn’t be so simple.

It was worth taking a chance!

If successful, his small team would make a fortune.

Hearing Cao Jingshan’s words, the others found them sensible, but doubts were raised, “The resource spot is only so big, if there’s a Demon Beast, where could it hide?”

Cao Jingshan’s eyes fell upon the tranquil lake surface, “In the lake!”

“Many have gone down there before, even bathing in it!”

Aside from the river surrounding their territory, here was another water source for everyone.

If there were any issues, they’d have been found by now.

“Isn’t that during the day?

What about at night?” Cao Jingshan countered.

“So we’re waiting until night?”

“Exactly!

Let’s just try!

If there’s really a large number of Demon Beasts here, we’re one step closer to becoming Professionals.

It’s worth a day’s gamble.”

“Alright, we’ll go with your plan.” The others agreed, all following him because they trusted Brother Cao.

And so, they actually waited there until nightfall.

As dusk fell, they still saw a calm lake surface, and just when they thought their different approach was going to fail, suddenly, the lake began to stir.

Countless piranhas leaped out from the depths of the lake.

And in the eyes of Cao Jingshan and his group, these were countless Level 3 to Level 8 Demon Beasts.

“There really are Demon Beasts, piranhas!”

“We’ve struck it rich, we’re really going to strike it rich this time!”

“And this place is perfect for us with ranged attacks!”

“…”

Excited voices around Cao Jingshan filled his ears, and he let out a long sigh of relief—it was a bet won.

The next moment, he commanded, “Brothers, charge!”

As the command was issued, countless arrows rained down on the piranhas in the lake.

It’s known that if the Demon Beasts in the territory aren’t cleared, the existing remnants continue to persist, and new Demon Beasts materialize the next day.

At other resource points around Hope Village, there weren’t enough Demon Beasts for everyone, but this lake was different.

No one had noticed the pattern of the beasts, and over time, they accumulated in significant numbers!

Thus, with this batch of accumulated Demon Beasts, Cao Jingshan quickly awakened a Profession.

Following him, the second and the third person soon appeared…
