I Live on the Land in Global Games-Chapter 378 - 370: Spoils of War

"Who are you... ah... let me out... I can give you anything you want..."

The vampire inside felt the danger of death, the omnipresent flowing water drove him to the brink of collapse, and his previously maintained pride and dignity were completely gone, he begged in a low voice for mercy.

On his handsome face appeared the blue veins and Death Aura of a corpse.

Mu Ying didn’t say a word.

Did he feel pity for him? Not in the slightest.

The vampire’s immortality relied on the blood of countless lives, especially humans.

This relationship made the conflict between humans and vampires irreconcilable.

What’s more, these vampires had wiped out an entire camp, and the blood they had spilled was no trivial amount.

Mu Ying was just waiting for him to reveal the half of his chest where his heart was.

When the moment arrived, the sharpened stake in his hand pierced mercilessly and without hesitation.

The moment the stake pierced the heart, the vampire’s pleas for mercy came to an abrupt end.

Starting from the center of the stake, cracks spread rapidly across his body, like a shattered vase, and then he exploded with a bang, leaving behind only a small pile of ashes, which muddied the water.

The clothes and ornaments on his body fell to the ground.

The life he had stolen from others thus came to an end, never to be resurrected again.

Mu Ying collected the vampire’s legacy into his Space Ring, then took out the second turtle pendant from the Space Suitcase and threw it into the isolation zone’s prison.

At this time, Sharon, who had finally returned to Bone Castle, sat on her throne in a rage, the seats belonging to her servants were empty.

Because the connection through the bloodline had been intact, she still harbored a possibility that they could escape back.

How could a native who knew nothing understand the power of a vampire? fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Yet, at this moment, the connection with one of her servants started to become unstable, and before long, it was completely severed.

Severed completely!

Sharon couldn’t believe it, that he was actually dead.

And that was just the beginning, one by one, at intervals, one would be lost until all the last seven connections were gone.

She did not truly disregard the life and death of her servants as she had told Mu Ying before.

If she truly didn’t care, she wouldn’t have been so selective.

Each one was a collectible she had carefully chosen over hundreds of years, using many resources to cultivate them, only for them to die so ludicrously at the hands of someone she hadn’t taken very seriously.

Simply trash!

With nowhere to vent her anger and humiliation, Sharon swept the exquisite antique porcelain from the table onto the floor with a wave of her hand, shattering it, "Mu Ying! I want you to pay the price!"

As if in doing so, she could shatter Mu Ying just like these porcelain pieces.

On the other hand, Mu Ying had already resolved all the turtle pendants without incident, much more smoothly than she had imagined.

The Spell of Biological Recognition produced such accurate information that in water, the vampires were completely unable to make a splash.

So-called eternal life was merely a deception for those who knew little of vampires.

With such a major weakness, it was no wonder that vampires had never occupied a favorable position in the outside world, but instead were the prey of others.

Mu Ying chose the safest method of piercing the vampire’s heart with a stake, which resulted in the vampire’s body disintegrating completely and not leaving behind a vampire heart that could fetch a high price, as the legends said.

But Mu Ying had no regrets. To extract an intact heart, it was not possible to kill the vampire in water. The risk was too great. If one got away, it would be hard to tell how much effort would be needed to catch it again.

It was better to play it safe and get it over with once and for all.

Mu Ying was well versed in the steady rules of survival. Safety was more important than money.

And now, her gains were not meager.

After restoring the Undersea Planting Camp to its normal state, she teleported back to the Magic Hut, where she was now inventorying her loot.

She was absolutely delighted.

She had only one thought at the moment: Vampires were really, really rich, and now all that money belonged to her.

Striking it rich overnight!

Every vampire had a Space Ring, each about a hundred cubic centimeters in size. Just these seven Space Rings made Mu Ying incredibly wealthy, not to mention the contents of the rings.

Mu Ying did a quick tally.

There were over a thousand Gold Coins alone, plus various silver and copper coins. It’s worth noting that the total savings of the entire Qingshan Town weren’t much more than this amount.

Additionally, there were some books and notes related to the cultivation of the warrior, Wanderer, and Magician professions.

Mu Ying skimmed through the low-level parts and saw several skills and spells that were not provided in the Player Manual.

One could see the significance of these materials.

Lastly, there were their personal weapons, all of blue quality. Other ornamental items were merely craft pieces; they looked nice but weren’t equipment.

Although Mu Ying herself couldn’t use these things, that didn’t diminish their value. And she had already thought of a way to use them.

She planned to save them for later and eventually set up a Contribution Store in her territory. Then, players could exchange items there using Contribution Points—a strategy sure to enhance the cohesiveness of the territory.

This would give those players who had become official residents but were still far from becoming star-level residents a new goal to strive for.

Even if Mu Ying continued to use the current relaxed and free management style, she could keep players firmly anchored to her ship, as long as there were benefits they couldn’t part with.

The Territory Contribution Point system was at the core of this strategy.

Just imagine, the skill manuals necessary for cultivation, high-quality weapons, and Space Rings that require connections to purchase elsewhere could potentially be exchanged in Qingshan Town simply by accumulating Contribution Points. Wouldn’t that make them stay and grind Contribution Points till they dropped?

Even without cultivating trusted subordinates, as long as she had these items, when she needed help, she could issue tasks that awarded Contribution Points and receive a large number of helpers.

Interest is the most effective way to bind others.

The only downside was that vampires, though naturally abhorred as undead creatures, didn’t cause much environmental damage, so killing them did not reward any Experience Value.

Besides that, the most abundant item in the vampire spaces was bloodstock. These had no use for Mu Ying, who planned to use them all for cultivating Blood Replenishing Mushrooms.

The unexpected windfall heightened Mu Ying’s interest in Sharon. Now she was not only looking to eliminate a threat and prevent future troubles, but she was also eyeing Sharon’s property.

If the servants were this wealthy, surely Sharon, as their master, had to be no less affluent? Centuries of accumulated wealth—how much would that be?

A boss this wealthy could not be passed up for a fight.

After categorizing and storing the loot, Mu Ying went to bed in high spirits; she still had three hours of Trial Time left for the day, which she could use to take a leisurely trip to the Emerald World.
