I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Chapter 37 - 030: It seems they can do quite a bit to the territory

"Boss, shall we take down this Demon Bear together?" Zhong Yongnian hurriedly asked for Zhou Bai's opinion.

He was well aware that the highest Magic Beast Levels outside were only up to 9, and with Zhou Bai being Level 9, plus their assistance, they could certainly take down the Demon Bear.

"Okay." Zhou Bai nodded, then seeing that the Demon Bear had already prepared to attack the person he had knocked down, he hurriedly went up to meet it.

By this time, the Demon Bear had sensed the threat from Zhou Bai, or perhaps Zhou Bai's flesh was more enticing. Upon seeing Zhou Bai, it focused its attention on her.

They quickly confronted each other.

The massive Bear Paw was raised, revealing sharp claws, aiming straight for Zhou Bai's most vulnerable head and neck.

Zhou Bai directly took the Iron Axe, defensively striking against the Bear Paw. The Iron Axe's Defense reduced much of the force from the strike, but Zhou Bai's Life Value still dropped by 150.

And to think she even had an Equipment attribute boost!

The Damage Value was so high!

Zhou Bai muttered to herself inwardly, the next moment, another Bear Paw had already swiped down.

Zhou Bai could only rapidly pivot to respond.

Following that, the pushing, grabbing, scratching, and peeling intensified as the Demon Bear pressed step by step to try to topple her, its movements quickening.

At this moment, Zhou Bai finally understood why this group couldn't handle the Demon Bear.

A single strength defeats ten techniques.

The Demon Bear's strength was truly overwhelming.

Every time Zhou Bai confronted it, she felt her hands going numb.

She could only begin her unsophisticated fighting method, continuously hacking towards the Demon Bear's nose and eyesockets, remembering these were a bear's weak points, assuming it was the same for a Magic Beast.

Indeed, faced with this threat, the Demon Bear's attacking force slightly lessened. Taking advantage of the opponent's retreat, Zhou Bai struck down a significant portion of the Demon Bear's Blood Bar.

Far more efficient than the entire team's previous efforts.

"Good, impressive!" @@novelbin@@

"Keep hitting its eyes."

"Blood Bar dropping dropping dropping!"

"..."

Previously bullied by the Demon Bear, the bystanders couldn't help but applaud and cheer on.

Zhou Bai, hearing this, felt her feet stagger slightly, she turned back to glance at Zhong Yongnian, "Together?" What happened to taking it down together?

Zhong Yongnian then realized, cleared his throat, and quickly called out loud, "Those with Life Value below 300, step aside and recover for now, those with 300, continuously monitor your Life Value."

As soon as the words dropped, the group that had been cheering a moment ago hurriedly pulled out their weapons and went to engage, their boss was too formidable, they had almost overlooked that.

Zhou Bai attacking head-on, they assisted from all directions; as long as they hit, they could make the Demon Bear lose a bit of blood.

The Demon Bear, annoyed by their harassment and sensing danger, let out a soft roar, preparing to launch a group Attack Skill.

Zhou Bai, having seen the opponent's sonic Attack Skill, wouldn't give it the chance to launch, switching her Iron Axe for a Long Spear and heavily jabbed it into the Demon Bear's eye.

A piercing scream resounded at the scene.

Although everyone felt their eardrums were harmed and their Life Values dropped somewhat, they saw an opportunity.

While the Demon Bear howled in pain, they slashed and stabbed where they could.

The Demon Bear's Blood Bar rapidly declined due to everyone's efforts.

Zhou Bai watched the Blood Bar, estimated, and delivered a final heavy blow.

Before the Demon Bear could counterattack, its Blood Bar hit bottom, and its massive body collapsed.

[Congratulations Host, for killing lv.9 Demon Bear, you've obtained Honey*9, Bear Paws*4, Bear Meat*9, Bear Skin*9, Experience Points*90, copper coins*90, and randomly received a permanent Physical Strength attribute point +2.]

Physical Strength +2? Zhou Bai felt a bit surprised, this was the first time she got an attribute point drop, and it was for Physical Strength; her eyes involuntarily brightened.

So, attribute points could also be acquired by killing Magic Beasts?

Was this probability... only for high-level Magic Beasts?

Keeping this in mind, Zhou Bai planned to verify it when she had time.

And by now, as the system notification ended, the Demon Bear's body had already disappeared on the spot.

Seeing that, everyone took a long breath.

We won!

"Boss, thank you. If it weren't for you, we would have had to give up this resource point for now," Zhong Yongnian sincerely said.

Who would have thought that near this bamboo forest, there was still such a high-level mini-boss hidden.

From now on, we really need to be more careful, check out the situation first before acting, otherwise if we get surrounded by Demon Beasts, our whole team will be in trouble.

This game is changing every day, and the levels of the Demon Beasts are getting higher and higher. Yesterday, we mostly encountered Level 6-7 beasts, but today they suddenly became Level 8-9.

"If you hadn't run into them, I might have encountered them myself," Zhou Bai shook his head, then added, "You don't have to call me boss, just call me Zhou Bai."

"How long have you been here?" Zhong Yongnian curiously asked, as he seemed to have seen Zhou Bai coming out from the bamboo forest.

"I've been here for a while, just gathered quite a few bamboo strips and Wind and Rain Orchids," Zhou Bai responded, also revealing some news.

Sure enough, when he heard the words "Wind and Rain Orchid," Zhong Yongnian was amazed, "There are Wind and Rain Orchids in the bamboo forest too."

"Yes, and there's quite a lot. Be careful when you collect them later; Magic Bamboo Rats guard them. Be cautious of their sudden attacks as some may suddenly burrow out from the ground," Zhou Bai warned.

"Thanks," Zhong Yongnian quickly responded, they hadn't even known about the Wind and Rain Orchids! The value of Wind and Rain Orchids was much higher than that of the bamboo strips, and even if Zhou Bai kept it hidden, no one would think it strange, but she still told them.

"No need to thank me, I can't gather them all alone anyway, and the resources are there. Each person gathering more means more equipment for the territory," Zhou Bai said indifferently, then glanced at their recent gains and continued, "The Demon Bear just dropped quite a few items, including 2 Physical Strength attribute points. I'll keep one portion, and you guys can split the rest!"

Listening to Zhou Bai's first half of the sentence, Zhong Yongnian silently praised her in his heart; her vision was high!

Hearing the next part, he was somewhat surprised that the Demon Bear dropped attribute points, but still refused Zhou Bai's suggestion, "No need, you did most of the fighting." It wasn't their place to accept!

If it weren't for Zhou Bai, they might have had to give up this resource point. Now, they were still able to gather bamboo strips and Wind and Rain Orchids.

"You helped too, just keep it! The attribute points are a big enough advantage for me already," Zhou Bai insisted.

"Let's do this! We'll take twenty percent of the gains," Zhong Yongnian looked at Zhou Bai's attitude and could only accept, though he only agreed to take twenty percent.

"Fifty percent!"

"...Okay!" When did taking stuff become a problem of having too much.

The two of them reached an agreement like this.

"What are you planning to do now?" Zhong Yongnian asked Zhou Bai.

"I'm planning to go to Cloud Mist Forest to check out the situation and look for Rain Tree Resin," Zhou Bai replied.

"We just came back from there, it's the most crowded place. In the rainy weather, all trees in the Cloud Mist Forest turn into Rain Trees, the logging yields wood, and it randomly drops Rain Tree Resin. The drop rate isn't low, but there are various small Demon Beasts there, so be careful," Zhong Yongnian also shared the situation at the Cloud Mist Forest, exchanging information.

"Okay," Zhou Bai nodded to show he understood, then, recalling they had come from there and must have Rain Tree Resin, he continued, "How much Rain Tree Resin do you have on hand? Sell it to me at the territory's purchase price! I won't go there yet, I'll send the materials back first."

By sending them back, Diana could make more equipment, allowing other residents to also come out.

Outside in the rain, it was a bit more dangerous, but the rewards were substantial, a good opportunity for advancement, so they couldn't just stay at home.

"...Alright," Zhong Yongnian agreed once again, as it wasn't a loss for them.

But looking at Zhou Bai, their perspective of her had changed somewhat.

Perhaps, they should also learn from her.

For the people in the territory, the higher their levels, the better it was for the territory; they needed to look further ahead.

After the transaction, they went their separate ways.

Watching Zhou Bai's departing figure, others quickly gathered around Zhong Yongnian.

"Boss is really nice! Such a big vision."

"But when can I be as awesome as her?"

"No, isn't the boss really rich? So much Rain Tree Resin, and she could afford it all!"

"Normal! Her level is high, she kills high-level Demon Beasts, gets more copper coins, and thus has money! Plus, she mostly kills the Demon Beasts alone."

"Envious! Getting a head start on upgrades in the game immediately creates a gap."

"Let's all try harder to kill more Demon Beasts, raise our levels, there's still room to catch up!"

"..."

Seeing everyone chatting so cheerfully, Zhong Yongnian retracted his gaze and spoke up, "Stop chatting, let's hurry into the bamboo forest to gather bamboo strips and Wind and Rain Orchids. The effectiveness of the equipment lasts for less than an hour, we need to return to the territory before the time ends, and also gather more materials."

Listening to Zhong Yongnian's words, the others also remembered what Zhou Bai had just said and quickly agreed.

Thinking about it, they could indeed do quite a lot for the territory if they were willing.

Immediately, a group of people quickly entered the bamboo forest, racing against time.

At that moment, they did not realize that sometimes, the formation of a territory's culture is imperceptible.
