I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Chapter 36: Chapter 029: Her? A Big Shot?

Inside the Heroic Spirit Hall.

Zhou Bai expertly operated the system, and the first Undead was quickly summoned.

[Name: Bayer]

[Race: Undead (Human)]

[Level: lv.17]

[Identity: Resident of the Undead Kingdom]

[Profession: Swordsman, Mercenary]

[Life Value: 1700/1700]

[Attributes: Constitution (20/20), Intelligence (20/20), Agility (20/20), Defense (20/20)]

[Talent: Command]

[Price: 1 Gold Coin per month]

At the sight of the information, Zhou Bai was somewhat surprised; the strength required to be a mercenary in this world must be formidable!

[Would you like to spend a Gold Coin every month to employ Swordsman Mercenary Bayer?]

"Yes."

As a shadow appeared and became corporeal, a tall and robust figure emerged, still clad in armor and holding a great sword, even as an Undead, a penetrating aura of solemnity rushing forward.

"Lord, Bayer greets you!" Kneeling on one knee, Bayer respectfully responded, a gesture befitting his former status as a knight.

Seeing his attitude, Zhou Bai felt a sense of relief, thankful that there wasn't another like Harrison, and quickly said, "No need for such formalities in the future."

"Yes." Bayer looked at Zhou Bai with surprise but said nothing more, standing directly beside her as if waiting for her commands.

For the moment, Zhou Bai hadn't thought of his assignment and continued to summon the next one.

Soon, the new individual was summoned.

[Name: Dennis]

[Race: Undead (Human)]

[Level: lv.11]

[Identity: Resident of the Undead Kingdom]

[Profession: Doctor]

[Talent: Healing] @@novelbin@@

[Price: 1 Gold Coin per month]

Doctor!

At that moment, Zhou Bai was certain; the joke she had made with her father the day before had truly become reality. This Special Building, Heroic Spirit Hall, seemed tailor-made for supplying talent to boost the strength of her territory as needed!

She must make good use of it.

Soon, Doctor Dennis appeared, his expression momentarily puzzled when he realized he had been summoned, but then a trace of joy emerged.

A doctor, completely unnecessary in the boundaries of the Undead Kingdom, other kingdoms would be more suited to his survival, coming to the Human Territory was more than suitable.

"Are you the lord of this territory? Do you have a hospital here?" Dennis asked eagerly.

Zhou Bai blinked and responded directly, "There isn't a hospital now, but there will be in the future."

Dennis was a bit disappointed but then realized this was just a Level 1 village; such a low-level territory indeed wouldn't have a hospital.

But for a Level 1 village to have such a Special Building capable of summoning them might indicate something special.

"I'll follow your arrangements," Dennis earnestly said.

"My territory has just established a military camp, Bayer, you will serve there! I'm entrusting all personnel to your management. As for Dennis, how about you also join the camp for now? You can gather the herbs you need while accompanying the soldiers, and be on hand to provide treatment when necessary," Zhou Bai quickly decided.

"Yes," Bayer and Dennis responded in unison, their situation being that they were under someone else's roof, to avoid going back to the Undead Kingdom, they had to follow the instructions of others; fortunately, the Lord's arrangements were reasonable enough.

"It's stormy outside today, so it's not convenient for the two of you to go out. Wait until later when someone has collected the materials and you can go to the tailor shop to retrieve them. Also, when you see me, treat me as a common resident, I'll be taking my leave first!" With that, Zhou Bai briskly left the Heroic Spirit Hall.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the territory today, and they were all on the residential side otherwise, she wouldn't dare to come directly to the Heroic Spirit Hall.

When they appeared later in the territory, no one would think of her.

Perfect!

Thinking thus, Zhou Bai's steps lightened considerably.

Watching her departing figure, Bayer and Dennis exchanged glances.

This territory's Lord seems a bit odd?

Exchanging a look, they said nothing more, then stood at the entrance of the Heroic Spirit Hall, watching the outside light, their eyes revealing a hint of joy; anyhow, being able to leave the Undead Kingdom was their fortune.

**

Zhou Bai had already reached the territory's main gate.

Only two men were guarding the gate, nodding slightly at the sight of Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai recognized them immediately as Sha Mingjie and Xu Chengyi.

These were the two mentioned by her father in choosing a doctor and an adviser.

Seeing them, Zhou Bai couldn't help but think of the summoned Bayer and Dennis.

With their help, the territory would only get better.

Zhou Bai smiled at them cheerfully and then headed straight out of the city gate.

The two looked at the heavy rain outside and couldn't help but say, "Captain Zhou's daughter seems very happy, huh? Is it because she's going out to hunt monsters?"

"Probably!"

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with admiration.

She truly was the renowned gaming emperor of the territory!

Zhou Bai might not have known, but ever since that night she took on a level five Dark Demon Wolf alone, and after freely moving in and out of the territory, who wouldn't consider her a big shot, and an incredibly hardworking one at that.

That's to say, those who become big shots are of a mindset not to be compared with ordinary people.

Unaware of the misunderstanding her happiness caused, Zhou Bai headed straight for the bamboo forest upon leaving the territory.

She had got the information from Diana that Wind and Rain Orchids grew randomly in rainy weather, but they were definitely found in the bamboo forest.

On her way there, various Demon Beasts continuously attacked her.

Clearly, the rainy weather made the Demon Beasts within the territory much more active than usual.

Zhou Bai wasn't shy about the experience points walking right up to her, managing to handle each with a single axe blow.

As her level increased, so did her damage value, and with various equipment boosts, dealing with lower-level Demon Beasts naturally became no problem.

Many people felt the benefits of a high level and thus actively hunted Demon Beasts; after all, the higher the level, the easier the kills.

This way, Zhou Bai smoothly made her way to the bamboo forest.

As its name suggested, the area was filled with towering bamboos, their leaves stacked layer upon layer, like little flat boats tied continuously together, blocking out the sun, leaving only winding paths below.

Zhou Bai stepped into it without hesitation.

Upon entering the bamboo forest, the sound of the rain instantly changed, as the bamboo leaves blocked the raindrops.

Seeing this, Zhou Bai walked further in and started collecting without hesitation.

The axe fell on the bamboo, and she quickly received a notification of successful collection.

[Congratulations, Host. You've obtained bamboo strips*5, bamboo shoots*1, experience points*1.]

The yield of bamboo after raining was indeed different from that on a sunny day; others had also come to the forest yesterday, obtaining complete bamboo and bamboo rice, many of which were then made into bamboo tubes.

As such with the bamboo forest, Zhou Bai wondered how other locations would change with the weather.

Thinking this, she kept chopping.

After who knows how long, Zhou Bai finally saw a cluster of purple flowers; as the raindrops fell through the gaps, the purple flowers began to sway.

Wind and Rain Orchids!

Confirmed it was the material she needed, Zhou Bai prepared to go forward and pick it.

However, before she could get close, a group of Magic Bamboo Rats suddenly sprang out from the side, squeaking at Zhou Bai and showing their sharp front teeth.

Zhou Bai dealt with them unceremoniously and then plucked all the Wind and Rain Orchids.

The next period passed without any disturbance from Demon Beasts, and Zhou Bai's backpack steadily filled up.

Unconsciously, she had collected several hundred units of both materials before preparing to change locations and collect Rain Tree Resin, though she knew the teams that had previously emerged would definitely have collected special materials; still, Zhou Bai felt only reassured gathering everything herself.

Just as Zhou Bai was about to leave the bamboo forest, a sudden roar burst from not far away, followed by various human voices.

"Quick, surround him!"

"Don't rush, don't run!"

"We have so many people, we shouldn't be scared, we'll grind him to death, right?"

"..."

Listening to the voices, Zhou Bai checked the map, only to find that the once deserted bamboo forest now hosted a team of about a dozen people, surrounding a small red dot.

A Demon Beast?

It must be high-level, right?

Go check it out.

Zhou Bai still prepared to go help.

When she arrived, she saw a gigantic Demon Bear wreaking havoc within the team; its roaring mouth sending a blast of air that knocked several people away.

With a thud, everyone's life value significantly dropped, many already halved.

"Brother Zhong, this bear's level is probably much higher than we estimated, let's run!" someone said to the leader, Zhong Yongnian.

Their team had a smooth journey earlier today, following the soldier team and killing newly refreshed Demon Beasts in the Cloud Mist Forest.

After the kills, they had also successfully collected a lot of Rain Tree Resin. Thinking there was still time, they decided to come to this bamboo forest to pick some bamboo strips.

But unexpectedly, they had barely collected for a moment when a Demon Bear spawned here. Initially thinking their numbers would prevail, they hadn't expected the Demon Bear to be so formidable that so many of them couldn't bring it down.

There was only one possibility; the Demon Bear's level far exceeded theirs.

Zhong Yongnian looked at the Demon Bear, which had only lost a fraction of its life value, gritted his teeth, and said, "Retreat!"

Just as they were preparing to leave, Zhou Bai stepped forward.

The moment they saw Zhou Bai, a gleam of joy flashed in everyone's eyes.

"The boss has arrived!"

Zhou Bai: "..."

—Her? The boss?

How come she didn't know?
