Chapter 824: Positive Influence, Money Comes First! Part 3
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After many years of development, there were other human territories other than Green Fruit Territory.
Down the west, for about 300 kilometers, there was a territory called “Kanegajia Castle.”
Unlike the Green Fruit Territory, this place was full of soldiers who specialized in foreign wars.
It was impossible they would sit by idly if the foreigners wanted to occupy this territory. It would not be long before a second war broke out between the foreigners and the Kanegajia Castle.
This was the reason Su Mo could leave without worry.
“Hey, why is Yuan Bao so friendly today? Does she also understand that you’re sick?”
Halfway through the meal, Oreo walked through the gate while panting and lying down beside Su Mo. Then, she began licking the bowl of noodles with satisfaction.
Huang Xiaojuan looked surprised.
“Haha, she’s probably hungry too!”
Su Mo leaned forward and laughed happily as he patted Oreo’s head.
Oreo’s return meant that the mission on her side was also successfully completed.
They only had to wait until the evening to deal with Sha Yikang.
Su Mo did not hope for too much and was satisfied as long as they collected enough for two people and a dog to travel to Heaven’s Origin.
“By the way, Youzong, which territory are we going next?”
“Are you planning to go to the Kanegajia Castle nearby? Although the residential status in their territory is cheap and costs about 20 exchange points, every resident is requested to participate in the battlefield if a large-scale war breaks out. It could be extremely dangerous!”
After finishing her noodles, Huang Xiaojuan glanced at Su Mo’s face curiously while drinking the remaining soup.
In just one day, Su Youzong seemed to have changed.
His previous habits suddenly vanished, and his mannerism and behavior changed drastically.
The strange thing was that such a difference did not make Huang Xiaojuan feel any discomfort or awkwardness toward him.
Instead, a unique sense of intimacy and an unfamiliar affection gradually birthed from the bottom of her heart.
A few moments later, Su Mo smiled faintly and shook his head.
Her eyes widened. “Are we not? Apart from Kanegajia Castle, there are only two large territories we can go—the Dragon Banner and Transformation City.
“The Dragon Banner’s residential identities are incredibly costly. We need at least eighty exchange points per person for the most basic employee identity.
“Although Transformation City is cheaper, they require everyone to obtain a place to live in 30 days. Otherwise, you’ll get kicked out. With this extra condition, a basic residential identity will also cost about the same as Dragon Banner.”
The convi tricycle was sold for20 points, and the building was to be sold off for 45 points.
Knowing that Su Youzong would never leave her and Yuan Bao behind since he had told her about it, she had calculated the expenses for the two people.
That would be eighty times two to migrate to Dragon Banner or Transformation City. They were still short of 95 points, which was a huge sum of money!
“Hmm? Are we not headed to these two either?
“True, it’s too expensive for us. It’s also fine if we travel further to a smaller territory!
“Let me think…”
Seeing that Su Youzong was still shaking his head, Huang Xiaojuan simply opened the game panel to search for identities in nearby territories.
According to the maximum cost they could afford, she selected many territories they could go which cost only ten exchange points.
At the same time, she deliberately used gentle words to comfort Su Youzong, trying to reduce the disappointment it would cause him because of the drop in quality of life after moving to a different territory.
Her thoughtfulness made Su Mo’s heart ache.
“Ah? Youzong, are we not going to any of these?”
Seeing Su Youzong shake his head after each territory she named, Huang Xiaojuan darkened, and she turned off the game panel.
She had already quoted the price of countless territories within 1,000 kilometers of the Green Fruit Territory. Yet, Su Youzong was still unsatisfied.
‘Could it be that he plans for them to survive as refugees in the wasteland for now and then come back to the Green Fruit Territory after the situation stabilizes?
‘That would be too risky…’
“Xiaojuan, you don’t have to worry about it. Just do as I say, and when the time comes, I’ll surely take you to live in a stable territory.
“You don’t have to stress about it!”
A peaceful and comfortable environment would surely relieve anxiety in one’s heart.
Even Su Mo did not realize it himself, but ever since he arrived in this future world, the anxiety that he had in the past had almost completely vanished.
In place of the anxiety, he had the same calmness he had when he came to the wasteland and discovered the system’s assistance.
“Youzong, you’re the best. Please just tell me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep tonight!
Huang Xiaojuan got up abruptly and quickly approached Su Mo. She grabbed his hand and shook it aggrievedly.
Unintentionally, her body also lightly rubbed against Su Mo’s arms.
Woah…
Su Mo felt as if he had been electrocuted as the softness stroked against him. Suddenly, his eyes met with Huang Xiaojuan’s bright eyes.
He immediately admitted defeat.
“Alright. We’re going to…”
He pressed lightly onto Xiaojuan’s slightly rough palms and parted his lips to tell her the territory name.
In an instant, Huang Xiaojuan’s initially shy face vanished and took a 180-degree change.
“What? Heaven’s Origin?!!”
