I Live on the Land in Global Games-Chapter 366 - 360: Winning the Bamboo Shoots
Chapter 366: Chapter 360: Winning the Bamboo Shoots
At this time, very few people had the ability to fly.
Sharon and her group were already attention-catching enough.
Players on the ground were already nervous enough picking up the corpses of the Blood Crows under Sharon’s dangerous gaze.
If not for the fact that Crow Feathers from the Blood Crows were equivalent to copper coins, and the temptation of money was too strong, plus within the territory, Sharon and her followers couldn’t inflict any harm on the players, they might even get expelled and fined if they had any intent to harm, the players might not have dared to be so brazen today.
But now, someone even more brazen had appeared—right under Sharon’s nose, Lord Mu Ying stepped into the Territory Shield.
Carrying two baskets filled with large eggs, she just suddenly came in; nobody saw where she had come from before, but there was no doubt that she had crossed the protective shield to get inside.
Sharon had been lying in wait for her for quite some time now.
Although it seemed she hadn’t come over during the day, only moving around at night, the chances of encountering Mu Ying were few, to say nothing of catching her outside the territory.
But at this moment, Mu Ying had brazenly walked in.
Feeling Sharon’s increasingly oppressive aura, the players on the ground slowed down in their feather-picking, stealthily glancing up at the sky to watch the drama unfold.
"Hey, you guys are also taking a walk here?" Mu Ying greeted Sharon cheerfully.
Sharon: "..."
Walking your ass!
Only then did she realize that her powerful flock of Blood Crows brought not terror and fear to these humans, but the joy of striking it rich.
This was the first time she had come out when it wasn’t completely dark yet, with the Blood Crow flock as cover, and the evening sunlight couldn’t harm her.
She had transformed into a Crow, blending perfectly with the Blood Crow flock, waiting for the Blood Crows to attack, expecting to catch Mu Ying off guard when she appeared.
But to her surprise, not only had she not seen Mu Ying, she found her Blood Crow flock being treated like vegetables being delivered, without eliciting the slightest fear from humans; instead, they were joyfully gathering here with their friends.
And Mu Ying had yet to appear.
Sharon was nearly infuriated to death.
It was her lack of attention to the Blood Crows; she hadn’t expected that their past outings here ended in such abject defeat.
Anyway, the Blood Food harvested from each hunt hadn’t decreased, and the pile of bones in the nest was still enough to support the birth of many Blood Crows.
The Mana expenditure of empathizing with the Blood Crows was too great, so she seldom used it.
Thinking back to when she was pleased with the oppression and fear that the Blood Crow flock brought to humans, only to discover the humans actually looking forward to the Blood Crows coming to deliver food, Sharon felt as if her dignity had been severely trampled upon.
She had just made a vow to herself that very soon, she would kill Lord Mu Ying, convert her into a follower who could never betray her, and completely destroy the protection of Qingshan Town. Then, she would definitely make these insolent humans pay a bloody price.
But in the blink of an eye, Mu Ying had stepped into her camp right under her nose.
It almost made her curse out loud and ruin her elegant and noble image.
"How did you get in here?!" With a flash, Sharon teleported close to Mu Ying, extremely close, almost touching her nose.
Since she controlled her intent to attack, the camp’s protective shield didn’t activate its defense function.
Mu Ying took a step back, "Please maintain a proper social distance from me!"
"How did you get in here?!" Sharon asked through gritted teeth.
As Mu Ying walked past her and headed downwards, she retorted, "We are sworn enemies, aren’t we? How could I possibly tell you? Unless you don’t resist and let me probe your information? If you agree, I’ll tell you."
Sharon: "..."
Not even in her dreams!
"See, you wouldn’t want that either. Empathy goes both ways," Mu Ying continued walking down.
Hearing Sharon’s fists creaking, she appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly thrilled.
No wonder griffin mothers risk injury to provoke the Blood Crow flock. It’s exhilarating to dance on the enemy’s bottom line!
"Dare to have a fight outside right now?" Sharon wanted to infuriate her too.
Mu Ying was unmoved, "I’m not in good shape, my Mana Value is running low; can’t fight. You can’t be that cunning, wanting to ambush me when I’m weak, knowing you’re a higher level than me, right?"
If it weren’t for her insufficient Mana Value, she might have ridden her Flying Carpet just outside the protective shield, tempting Sharon, and then tested her newly mastered Transformation Skill by turning her into a little turtle to swim in Moon Lake, or a little sheep to graze in the fields.
But now, that was impossible. The time was also drawing near.
Sharon: "..."
The veins on her forehead bulged with fury, at the limit of her patience, her fangs bared, yearning to bite Mu Ying. Even if she couldn’t succeed, unleashing her frustration was better than bottling it up.
Unsurprisingly, she was teleported outside the camp again.
And received a ticket with an even higher fine.
Even Sharon, who had lived a long time and had plenty of savings, winced at the zeros on the fine.
Mu Ying thoughtfully converted the copper coin amount into Gold Coins.
Presumably, this would make Sharon feel much better.
She cheerfully entered the Griffin District, where a separation shield not only kept the Little Griffins from jailbreaking—or, rather, climbing over the fence to escape school—it also prevented outsiders from seeing what was happening inside, including Sharon.
"What a steal, but way too exhilarating!"
Zheng Jing was among the onlookers. She had seen how Mu Ying hid her presence to leave, so she knew Mu Ying could return undetected.
And she even called Dingling Flower to tell her that Sharon was around, suggesting it would be safer to take a detour.
But Mu Ying didn’t bother to conceal herself, strutting down openly.
It was definitely deliberate.
Mu Ying even had this mischievous side to her.
But because she was dealing with an enemy, it felt all the more satisfying.
"It was the griffin mothers who inspired me," Mu Ying said innocently.
"My goodness, why have you piled them like this? What if they get crushed!" Zheng Jing ignored Mu Ying’s justification and hurriedly took out the eggs one by one.
"1, 2, 3...12, 13! Thirteen eggs! We’re rich!" Zheng Jing was thrilled, "Plus the hatchlings, that makes 21 in total!"
"It’s all yours, work hard. Do a good job, and there’ll be a big bonus at the end of the year!"
As a qualified boss, one should regularly motivate employees and promise them the moon.
Mu Ying considered herself a conscientious boss, offering good treatment, and the metaphorical ’pie’ she promised was always there for her employees to enjoy in the end.
"Don’t worry, I’m a professional when it comes to Beast Taming!" Zheng Jing assured with a thump of her chest, "And I’ve got Da Ming to help me too!"
"Go for it!" Mu Ying patted her shoulder, waiting until Da Ming had established its dominance by subduing the newcomer Little Griffins before heading home together.
