I Live on the Land in Global Games-Chapter 105 - 104 Copper Coin Hotel

"Something is approaching!"

"It seems like a person?"

Some people sighed in relief, but others remained cautious, "Who are you? Where did you come from? What are you doing here?"

Mu Ying looked up at the man who had just posed those soul-searching questions. He was big and burly, with arms thicker than her thighs, a full beard obscuring his expressions, and an imposing presence, though one had to ignore the slight tremble in his booming voice.

Feeling amused by him, she smiled and said, "I am Mu Ying, from Qingshan Territory. I heard there’s a territory here at Spirit Dragon Gorge, so I came to check it out."

Her emerald green eyes shimmered under the moonlight, their goodwill making it hard for others to keep their guard up.

Looking into those eyes, Niu Shun’s voice softened, and he scratched his head sheepishly, "Oh oh."

Everyone else had passed him and gone far ahead before he realized what the girl had just answered. Now, the embarrassment he felt before the pretty young lady vanished.

"Niu Shun, why didn’t you ask more? Mu Ying, isn’t she the one at the top of the level rankings? And Qingshan Territory, that’s the one south of Coastal City, right? Tens of kilometers away, how did she come here? Also, what’s so good about Spirit Dragon Gorge that she’d make the trip?" Guan Hai said frustratingly.

"If you wanted to know, why didn’t you ask? Am I the type to bully young girls?" Niu Shun said irritably, but only he knew the regret in his heart. "But is she a foreigner? Why are her eyes green? It just makes one unable to speak harshly." freewebnσvel.cѳm

"If you say her eyes are green, then it’s probably that Mu Ying. I heard on the forums that it happened overnight, not just her eyes, but her hair turned green too. Some people guess she gained some lineage, like those in Bear Country who turned into minotaurs."

Niu Shun shook his head, "Definitely not, she still looks human, just that the eye color is a bit off. I didn’t get a good look at her hair just now..."

Mu Ying had no idea there was so much discussion about her. After paying ten copper coins as an entry fee, she entered Spirit Dragon Gorge Camp.

She had revealed her identity just now to avoid trouble.

After all, being top of the rankings was quite effective, at least under the uncertainty of whether they could defeat her or not, it prevented any bad intentions.

Indeed, the conversation at the camp entrance was heard by quite a few people, and although she felt the gaze of both hidden and visible watchers as she walked in, no one came up to question her further.

The row of houses next to the square were all shops, apparently a few more than her own camp.

But now it was very late, and the shops were closed, all except for one still doing business, showing dim candlelight inside — a hotel.

The large, prominent copper coin logo on the hotel’s sign was familiar to Mu Ying; sure enough, its name was "Copper Coin Hotel," under the same Copper Coin Trading Company as the copper coin pawnshop.

Mu Ying crossed the threshold, the bell hanging on the door jingling as she entered.

A skinny, short man emerged from behind the counter, rubbing his eyes and murmuring, "Strange, someone’s coming this late?"

If it weren’t for the company’s policy requiring hotels to operate all night, he would have closed as soon as it got dark, just like the other shops, due to the poor business.

Mu Ying stared at the man’s nest-like hair for a few seconds, musing at how even a shrewd man like Tongbi 559 could have such an unkempt colleague, "Do you have any rooms left?"

"Yes, yes, yes," as the man picked up a candlestick, he finally saw the guest’s face, and many thoughts crossed his mind — this was a big customer. His attitude became even more eager, "Over here we have a small single room for five copper coins a night, a regular single room for eight copper coins, a small suite for ten copper coins, and a large suite for twenty copper coins a night. What do you think..."

"I’ll take the small suite," Mu Ying fished out ten copper coins from her pocket and handed them to him.

"Alright, come this way with me, oh, right, you can call me Jiu San, that’s my work number," Jiu San said.

"Isn’t it Copper Coin 559?" Mu Ying asked, puzzled.

"Since the guest is aware of the rules of Copper Coin Trading Company, I presume you’re from outside," Jiu San grinned and pointed to his head. "So you must know that a small fry like me, sent to a just-starting Original World, couldn’t possibly have such an advanced number. Jiu San is just for convenience. The full number is actually Copper Coin 15993. It’s too long and hard to remember, so I just use Jiu San."

Mu Ying: ???

What? What did he misunderstand?

Mu Ying coughed lightly, finally meeting such a good conversation partner, "Where are you originally from?"

"Sand wolf..." Jiu San began, then suddenly stiffened. His Player Manual suddenly alerted, and he opened it to check.

[You have violated the Multiverse World Evolution Center Original World Protection Regulations. Since it is your first offense and the circumstances are minor, you are hereby warned once...]

Mu Ying didn’t know why Jiu San suddenly stopped talking and turned to see him holding something with a distressed expression.

That pose, it looked like he was holding a book. "Are you looking at the Player Manual?"

Jiu San looked at her in terror and quickly covered his mouth, shaking his head vigorously.

"What’s with that scared look?" Mu Ying asked, curious.

Jiu San held up two fingers. "You’re a native, I can’t say! Besides, the Evolution Center will fine me."

"Oh, I get it, you guys really do have a Player Manual, one for each person, right?" Mu Ying stroked her chin, "I figured that out myself, so that shouldn’t count as breaking the rule, right?"

Jiu San looked at his booklet, and sure enough, there was no new fine notification. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Here’s your room, take the key, and I’ll leave the candlestick for you as well. I won’t disturb your rest then, good night."

After he finished speaking, Jiu San ran off.

"Thump, thump, thump, ow!"

Mu Ying walked towards the stairs and sure enough saw Jiu San, holding his buttocks and crying in pain. It seemed he had fallen down the stairs.

"I’m a Druid. Let me heal you," she said, and cast a Healing Truth on Jiu San. His injuries were not severe, they didn’t need direct healing.

"Sorry about that, I was just trying to see if I could dig up any information," Mu Ying said, embarrassed, touching her nose. "Now to introduce myself, my name is Mu Ying, from Qingshan Territory. I knew about your Copper Coin Trading Company employee numbers because there’s a copper coin pawnshop in Qingshan Territory. The owner is Tongbi 559."

"No, no problem, it was my loose lips," Jiu San stood up. "Wait, 559? That senior! Why did he come here? I get it, he must have come through the shop recruitment. A place noticed by a senior must have good developmental potential, even paying taxes seems hopeful... oh no, my money!"

[You have violated the Multiverse World Evolution Center Original World Protection Ordinance, your shop’s entire business revenue will be deducted as a warning!]

Mu Ying: ...

Suddenly, she wasn’t feeling guilty anymore; Jiu San’s loose lips were real.
