I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 76 - 053 The Smoke of Human World

“Awesome!

It really is you!”

“What profession did you unlock?

Can you tell us?”

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

“After the promotion, does it feel any different?”

“Can you perform magic now?”

“…”

Most of their eyes were filled with intense curiosity.

Zhou Bai could see it, and then directly explained, “After advancing to Level 10, based on your qualifications, you will be able to choose available professions.

Below Level 20, you can select 1 to 2 professions, which include the Physical Skill System and the Magic Series…”

Zhou Bai detailed the professions she currently knew of and added, “I chose both Swordsman and Mage as my dual professions.”

“That sounds so cool!”

“The boss is truly amazing.”

“Having so many professions to choose from is such a blessing!”

“How do you feel now?”

Zhou Bai watched and started meditating right on the spot.

As she meditated, countless water molecules began to gather around her.

The people present felt as if raindrops were slowly dripping in the air.

“Is it raining?

It’s actually raining!”

Zhou Bai stopped her meditation and directly said, “It’s not rain, just the condensation of water elements in the air.

We previously had a rain here in our territory, so the water elements in the air are richer, making it easier to condense.

If there are other elements in the air, like fire elements, you could condense fire directly.”

Saying this, Zhou Bai’s fingertip quickly flicked out a small flame.

The scene was again filled with amazement.

This was pure showing off skill!

Envy, it was utterly enviable!

“I must choose Mage when the time comes.”

“Ahhh, I can’t wait to become a professional.”

“Mage is so dazzling!”

“…”

Everyone present was genuinely amazed by Zhou Bai’s display, truly wishing they could unlock their professions and begin their journey as Mages immediately.

“Do you all want to start your professions soon?”

“Yes!”

“Then let’s continue hunting demon beasts outside now!

There are more demon beasts at night; we can’t waste time!”

“Right, bring two sets of anti-black suits, alternate them, and we can stay outside the whole time!”

“Can do!”

“Team up!

Go!”

“…”

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became lively.

Zhou Bai: “…”

The next moment, the teams really started forming up, and then quickly and spiritedly left the territory.

The number of people on the scene dwindled.

These past few days, as everyone worked hard, it became a habit.

Now they were doing it for themselves, so working a bit harder wasn’t a big deal.

Zhou Bai, watching the scene, was both amused and helpless but didn’t say much.

Starting a profession early was indeed quite good; it really improved both skills and efficiency a lot.

Having more professionals would surely enhance the strength of a territory significantly.

At this point, Zhou Bai also saw her parents in the crowd, smiling warmly as she walked towards them with a spring in her step.

Seeing Zhou Bai approaching, Zhou Zhengping and Ding Qiurou displayed gentle smiles on their faces.

“Dad, Mom, were you waiting for me?” Zhou Bai asked.

“Yes, we were waiting to have dinner with you,” said Ding Qiurou, looking Zhou Bai up and down, “You’re not hurt, are you?”

“No!” Zhou Bai shook her head, though she had indeed been hurt but had already recovered, so she treated it as if it didn’t happen.

After becoming a professional, the various attributes of the body doubled, and the recovery speed was naturally doubled too.

Maybe she believed it, so Ding Qiurou didn’t ask further and directly said, “Shall we go home?”

“Okay,” replied Zhou Bai, linking arms with Ding Qiurou, and as they walked, she looked at Zhou Zhengping beside her, “Dad, why didn’t you join Li Xingteng to go out?”

She had just seen Li Xingteng invite her dad along, but it seemed that her dad refused, so Li Xingteng went out leading the team by himself.

“Having dinner with you guys is important too.

I’ll go after dinner,” Zhou Zhengping replied with a smile, looking at Zhou Bai with eyes filled with appreciation, “Congratulations on becoming a professional.”

“You’re almost there too, Dad.”

Chit-chatting, the group slowly reached the residential area.

At this time, the residential area was brightly lit.

During the past few days of everyone working diligently within the territory, Yu Ziming and others who were held in the prison didn’t stop either.

After repairing the roads within the territory, they began repairing the roads outside.

Once finished outside, they started working on the “street lights” within the territory.

These supposed street lights were actually assembled from wood, iron, and torches.

Once night fell, torches were lit and placed on top, functioning just like street lights.

With these street lights, more people could move around the territory at night, gradually forming a small trading area in the residential area.

Within the trading area, each person had a small stall made of a wooden table, covered with a cloth, and various goods placed on top.

“Sunflower seeds, a handful for 1 copper coin, leisurely snacks with a unique recipe.”

“Boss, give me 2 handfuls.”

“Hey, hold on to them.”

*

“Boss, why do you have a whole roasted chicken?

When I encountered the Demonic Chicken, only chicken meat dropped.”

“Hehe, I’ll tell you the method, but you’ve got to buy it!”

“Of course.”

“Just capture the Demonic Chicken alive, then kill it to get a whole chicken.”

“Does it work with other demon beasts too?”

“I’m not sure about that.”

“How much for the roasted chicken?”

“50 copper coins!”

“So expensive?”

“I spent a long time on it!

And the honey too, I bought it at a high price from the combatants; it’s definitely worth it.”

“Alright!

I’ll take one.”

“Boss, can we split one?”

“Sure, sure.”

“…”

*

“Fresh vegetables and fruits here.”

“Were they all picked today?”

“Yes, I just got back with the combat team from outside, absolutely fresh.

You can just stir-fry the veggies with a pinch of salt and they’re unbelievably tasty.

Also, my prices are a tad cheaper than the grocery store’s.”

“Alright, give me some wild strawberries!”

“…”

*

“Wooden beds, wooden cabinets, wooden bowls, wooden spoons…

Durable and handy, don’t miss out as you pass by.

New residents, look quickly!”

“Where are the wooden beds?

Can they be customized?”

“Yes!

What kind do you want?”

“I want bunk beds.”

“Sure, I have them ready.”

“How much?”

“200 copper coins.”

“Can it be a little cheaper?”

“There’s a lot of labor involved; can’t make it cheaper.

Fixed price; no one in the territory does it better or more reliably than me.”

“…”

*

In the small trading area, everything was for sale, and there were plenty of residents browsing.

If they found something interesting, they would go forward to buy, haggle, and there was a strong sense of life.

Watching this scene, it seemed like their hearts became much more peaceful.

It was really quite nice.

Besides the stores in the territory, there were indeed more small “shops,” which stimulated the commodity economy.

Unlocking civil shops wasn’t necessary for now, but a small trading area like this was feasible.

After a circle around to survey the layout, Zhou Bai thought it would be nice to set up a more formal trading area.

Yeah, looking at the street lights nearby, Zhou Bai had already decided to let Yu Ziming’s team handle this task too.

Free labor, another day of saving money!

“Wanna take a stroll?

You’ve been so busy these past few days, you’re nowhere to be found when you return, the market is already closed,” Ding Qiurou noticed the eagerness in Zhou Bai’s eyes and led her inside directly.

Zhou Bai didn’t refuse, and it was only upon closer approach did she realize just how varied the goods were, with a wide array of items.

She even saw sweet potato flour among them.

This stall, too, was surrounded by people.

Zhou Bai noticed that the stall owner was an elderly man with somewhat white hair.

In fact, with several batches of survivors arriving, many people realized that there were more young people among the survivors, while the appearances of the elderly and children were particularly rare.

Plus, after the initial test, the whole surrounding environment changed, leading her to suspect that not everyone ‘logged in’ during the initial doomsday game.

But these were just guesses.

Facing the mysterious doomsday game, they couldn’t even overthink it; they could only strive to live well in the present.

“One by one, take it slow!

I’ll have plenty after this batch is sold out!” The old man said with a smile, “If any of you have sweet potatoes, you can also directly exchange them for sweet potato flour.”

“Old man, you’re amazing, even turning out sweet potato flour.”

“It’s an old skill!

I’m old now, and I rely on this skill to earn a bit of money,” the old man smiled.

“Haven’t seen you before, did you just arrive?”

“Yes, I came two days ago.

At the previous territory, I nearly starved to death.

Thankfully, I met a kind person who was willing to bring me along.

After arriving at Hope Village, I have settled down.

It truly is wonderful here; a craftsman like me can have a path to survival.

These old bones of mine, hoping to live another day is living.”

“Of course!

How could our territory be any lesser?”

“Indeed!

It truly is great here.

Now I just hope there are more territories like this, giving our loved ones a chance at life.”

“It will be.”

“…”

Hearing this, Zhou Bai couldn’t help but smile; it was truly a joyful thing to have her established territory recognized by others.

“Dad, Mom, let’s go home now!” Zhou Bai suggested.

“Okay,” both of them saw Zhou Bai in good spirits, and their own smiles followed suit.

They all knew very well that seeing such scenes would give an inward sense of happiness.

Now everyone worked so hard, nothing more than to retain this hint of “human smoke” forever.
