Chapter 183: Chapter 182 Various Reactions

Qingshan Town.

"Have you heard? Our Lord single-handedly took down Rich Man Zhou and his lackeys!"

"Damn, I knew our Lord was decisively brutal! She might appear gentle on the surface, but provoke her and you’re definitely not getting off easy!"

"I’m finally relieved. She can stride through the wilderness all by herself; I don’t have to worry about our territory disappearing overnight."

"Some people are bad-mouthing her on the forum. We can’t let these jerks ruin our Lord’s reputation. Quick, let’s go help out!"

"What? I’m on my way!"

...

Luoxia Village.

Li Luoxia browsed the messages on the forum and exclaimed, "Sister Mu Ying is so domineering, she just killed Zhou Hongfei? It’s a pity she’s probably not in her territory, otherwise I’d definitely go and ask about the specifics."

"It’s good that we’re on good terms with her; her strength could really be the best in the Xia Country Region," concluded Wu Qingshan. "Most importantly, her spirit is strong."

"Looking at Mu Ying, I feel like the few years I’m older than her have been a waste. I couldn’t be as decisive as her," Lin Zhixiu also said.

"Mom, Druid is so powerful! I’m going to be just as strong in the future!" Li Xihe clapped her hands excitedly.

...

In the central meeting room of Lingtian Town’s territory.

A group of people convened an emergency meeting about the incident.

"Was Mu Ying’s action a bit too drastic?"

"The apocalypse has just started, and she, a mere eighteen-year-old girl, kills without batting an eye. She must be quite mature."

"The information we gathered shows she’s an orphan found by a ranger in Qingshan Forest, and she has returned to the forest numerous times for unknown reasons. Her background is still questionable."

"Being an orphan, she might have a lack of empathy, and her guard is up. I suggest we should use a softer approach with her."

"We must ascertain her strength this time, to be prepared for any eventuality."

"Zhou Hongfei may have acted rashly and his methods were low-level, but his idea is worth considering. Arranging a marriage could be an option. We have many excellent young men, and it wouldn’t be a bad match for her."

"Zhan Qing, what do you think? You’re the strongest in Lingtian and about the same age. Maybe you could get in touch with Mu Ying. But don’t be too eager; even if it doesn’t work out, we shouldn’t become enemies. At the very least, we should be friends."

Zhan Qing, listening to a group of men in their thirties and forties discuss how to deal with a woman, felt disgusted.

"I disagree," said Zhan Qing, cutting them off sharply.

"You’re at the marrying age too. I hear Mu Ying is a beauty. If you two meet and develop feelings, it would be quite the romance. It would also strengthen the bond between our two territories. You would be a good match for her; it wouldn’t be beneath you."

"Heh, aren’t you afraid that I might fall for her at first sight and just follow her to develop Qingshan Town?" Zhan Qing sneered.

"Ahem, don’t make me listen to any more of this nonsense. Mu Ying is a reasonable girl with clear likes and dislikes. Even Luoxia Village gets along well with her. We just need to be sincere and not underestimate or try to manipulate her!"

An elderly man with graying hair was helped into the room.

"Chief, why have you come?"

"Heh, if I hadn’t come, who knows what you all would have done?" The chief slammed his hand on the table.

The others fell silent, not daring to speak further.

"Alright, disperse. Zhan Qing, stay," the chief said, obviously annoyed.

Once everyone had left, the chief had Zhan Qing sit down in front of him. "Zhan Qing, sorry to put you through this."

"It’s fine, I can handle it. Don’t worry about me," Zhan Qing said, looking down.

The chief waved his hand. "With my health like this, we must face the fact that it’s your generation’s world now. We old folks shouldn’t hinder your progress. Always keep the people in your heart. With the visitor from Qingshan Town here, you absolutely must make good relations. The purpose of the Doomsday Game is uncertain, so let’s avoid in-fighting and unite all viable forces to deal with any potential crises. Zhan Qing, take your orders!"

"Yes!"

Zhan Qing held the token tightly. "You can count on me!"

"Good, good, good," said the chief, looking at him with a relieved expression. "Help me back to rest!"

...

Mu Ying, having just neutralized a threat, took care of the corpses, and still had the leisure to cook in the traveler’s lodge.

It was only during her meal that she saw the discussions about her on the forum.

There were not a few comments about her being ruthless and heartless.

Mu Ying nodded in approval, "Better they think I’m ruthless than weak and easily bullied, so I don’t have to deal with more idiots like Li Hongfei and Wang Hongfei later on. It would be fine if there was some benefit, but like Zhou Hongfei, he was so broke that all I could take was a few pieces of equipment; I practically lost out, even the Slaughter Experience dissipated."

After reading a bit more, she discovered that many players from her own territory were helping her restore her image, confronting those who insulted her.

Comments praised her as a beautiful and kind fairy, the best Lord who cared for the Local People, a low-profile grandmaster who was strong yet rarely took action, and even the adorable scatterbrain who got so caught up showing her pet turtle that she forgot about the Iron Mining Camp. The praise made her feel a bit guilty.

Not really caring about such things before, Mu Ying decided to say a few words.

She composed a forum post.

"On my way north, I found some time to counter-ambush Lord Zhou and his dozen or so lackeys hiding in the bushes. Has Lord Zhou gone bankrupt? Even ghouls have nails and tongues that can be sold for money. A Lord with empty pockets, what a loss for me. Here’s a sincere reminder for the next person who wants to ambush me: remember to bring enough money, or don’t blame me for desecrating your corpse! (￣︶￣) Smile."

"That’s her, right? It is, isn’t it?"

"Sister, kill me!"

"Miss, I’m poor, please desecrate my corpse."

"Doesn’t the Doomsday Game have a moderator? I want to report the person above for inappropriate content!"

"So Zhou Hongfei really tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice? Counter-ambushed? Haha, that’s hilarious!"

"How is Lord Zhou so broke? Our Sister Mu Ying went through all that trouble for nothing, what a pity!"

"I’m heading to Feihong Town now to see if I can find Zhou Hongfei’s hidden stash."

"So this confirms that Mu Ying killed all of Zhou Hongfei’s men? They’re really pitiful, their families controlled by Zhou Hongfei in the Lord’s Mansion, and they themselves slaughtered."

"The kind person above, I’m so poor I’m about to starve. How about you rob for me instead? It’s a must for me. You wouldn’t mind, would you?"
