Chapter 118: Elga’s Timely Assist (2)

[Time Check: 4:30 p.m.]

Her wood inventory was replenished when she was in the ’poisonous’ imp forest.

The 420 stakes weren’t enough to fill the trenches. She made another 600 of them before she rested her butt on the doorstep of her thatched cottage.

The two freeloaders, Chibis, were nowhere in sight and had asked her permission to play.

Brother Siri was at the farm. She could hear him singing from where she was. The corner of her lips tickled.

On the other hand, she reckoned her lackey chef was preparing for his nightly duties in cooking another Manchu-banquet feast.

Li Chunhua promised to reward herself by eating three times more. As for reducing 1% of her food consumption, she had forgotten about that, and she will probably forget it later too.

Now that one of the field fortifications is done, she should expand her defense wall and build an outer wall just like the Metropolitan Base for extra protection.

Although she hadn’t felt any fatigue, her mind was exhausted. In the last few hours, she had worked more than she had in her entire existence in the previous world.

Regarding the wall, Li Chunhua checked her territory upgrade conditions.

[System Notification: Failed!]

[The upgrade of the special territory had failed due to some upgrade conditions and costs not being met.]

[Level 2 Special Territory

- Upgrade Conditions: 4 or more Territory Buildings constructed, 10 residents (player members in team mode and summons not counted), Landlord’s Level ≥ 5

- Upgrade Costs: 80 units of lime stones, 80 units of stones, 100 units of wood, 500 copper coins]

80 lime stones? Li Chunhua’s head is aching.

If she recalling it right, the normal upgrade condition for a level 2 territory should be...

[Level 2: Normal Territory

- Upgrade Benefits: +2 Territory Buildings, Dry Stone Walling, Level 1 Log Cabin

- Upgrade Conditions: 2 or more Territory Buildings constructed, 5 residents (player members in team mode and summons are not counted), and Landlord’s Level ≥ 5

- Upgrade Costs: 45 units of wood, 25 units of stones, 75 copper coins]

The edge of Li Chunhua’s mouth tilted down. It seems she won’t be able to upgrade the territory within this week unless she looks for eight more refugees. Little Ginseng was unqualified.

Come to think of it, she hadn’t asked her lackey chef about his territory, and the latter hadn’t mentioned it to her. It was negligence on her part.

Li Chunhua opened the trading market, and she noticed that, compared to yesterday, the volume and variety of items being sold were higher, except for food and water.

Player Hua said that she wouldn’t have time to personally gather lime stones for her at the moment.

Her finger tapped on the wrench icon labeled ’Other Items’ and searched for lime stone. Less than a dozen results appeared on the page. Other than her and some infrastructure gurus, no one would probably be interested in this.

She spent 750 grams of food and 2 bottles of water on 5 units of lime stone. With 14 in her inventory, she still lacked 69 of them.

Apart from the lime stone, Li Chunhua also checked for seeds and some odd items, and a few caught her attention.

[Item: Mysterious Seed

Seller’s price: 1 kg of food.]

[Item: Equipment Fragment

Seller’s Price: I don’t know what the heck this is. If someone gives me food, this is yours.]

[Item: Enchanted White Shard

Seller’s price: 500 g of food.]

Li Chunhua quickly exchanged them, and the players who suddenly received notifications of her purchase were astounded. Someone actually bought them. They checked the name of the purchaser, and it was Little Baozi.

Their shocks rose a notch, and each of them sent her a message asking for the use of the items, thinking they had missed a treasure, but the other side never replied, making them very frustrated.

[You’ve got an enchanted white shard.]

[You’ve got an equipment fragment.]

[You’ve got a mysterious seed.]

She scrolled for a few more minutes before closing the trade market. The items appeared on her hand. One was a tiny green seed resembling a green pea. The fragment was a deformed blackish-blue metal a quarter the size of her fist. Then, the Enchanted White Shard was a tiny crystal, only as big as her thumb.

This enchanted white shard was for enhancing weapons and granting them additional stats. She had read about it through Xun Mingsheng’s POV. As for the two, she didn’t know what they were, but since Brother Siri seemed to have to have a special skill in knowing items’ properties, she will inquire about them later.

Knowing she couldn’t stare at the trade market for too long, she sent Player Hua a message and some supplies. If someone sells lime stone, granite, ores, or other strange items for a reasonable price, she will buy them.

[Player Hua]: I will. Rest assured, you can leave it to me. I’m skilled at bargaining.

After the break, Li Chunhua jumped onto the top to start trimming the excess branches. She didn’t need garden shears or an axe, but only her hands.

While doing her gardening duties, she noticed a group of people coming towards her territory, and one of them was Martial Aunt Elga. She climbed to the tallest tree and narrowed her eyes.

Huh? Martial Aunt Elga has friends.

Wait, what’s that hanging on her bamboo pole?

Li Chunhua instilled qi in her eyes, and she could finally have a clear view of the thing—or rather, of a person dangling.

Suddenly, she could sense her tracking spell. She traced it, and the light in her eyes flickered.

Perfect Timing!

----

On the way towards the top, Loli Elga’s temporary party encountered monsters, but with Loli’s bloody methods and the trees missing, they were able to climb the mountain smoothly, rendering them in awe and terrified at the same time.

The journey to overthrow a fatuous ruler extended to hours because they had to rest along the way because of fatigue. No one complained because of the big axe.

When it was an hour before the sun set, they were a few steps from reaching the mountain top. Loli Elga decided to deliver her speech to ’boost’ her army’s morale while trudging on the rocky path.

"Listen up, weak chickens. Despite being weak, every one of us has hidden potential, and it always bursts out when we encounter near-death situations. That witch on the mountaintop had been implementing her dictatorial rule, and we, the agents of justice, will end it. Don’t worry about dying, because it will be for a great cause!"

Fern and the others: "..." That doesn’t sound so persuasive, and they don’t plan to die.

"Martial Aunt, great speech!"

Out of the blue, Loli Elga heard a familiar voice and the hateful title. Her heart leapt to her throat, and she quickly turned around, only to see the fake old witch was actually behind her.

(＃°Д°)

How did she (LC) appear behind without her (Elga) sensing?

"Are they your friends?" Li Chunhua’s eyes sparkled, especially when she saw Huo Yan tied to the bamboo pole up close.

(✿◠‿◠)

Before Loli Elga replied, Fern spoke up and asked, "Fellow, do you know the owner of the territory on the mountain top?"

Loli Elga stiffened.

"I do. Why are you asking?" Li Chunhua raised her brow. Elga didn’t tell them? Then, what’s their purpose for coming?

Just as Fern was about to speak, a certain loli tossed the axe on the ground and covered the lion-beast man’s mouth before he could say a word.

But she couldn’t cover the nine other natives’ mouths.

"This lady threatened us that she’d kill our master if we didn’t agree to conquer the territory on the mountaintop."

Li Chunhua’s eyes brushed over the speaker’s form before it went to the daring Loli.

1 second of Li Chunhua’s face... ಠಿ_ಠ

2 seconds... ಠ_ಠ

3 seconds...ಠ╭╮ಠ

Loli Elga felt a cold gaze on her back.

It’s over.

Li Chunhua cracked her knuckles.

"Ahh! Fake Old Witch!" The sky-diver Loli yelled on top of her lungs in the middle of her flight.

Sky-gliding punishment is commencing.

Fern and the others instantly knelt down with the tied-up Huo Yan: (⊙﹏⊙)! So this is the fatuous ruler? How would they able to defeat her? Just one punch and she sent someone flying.

They gulped. Potential their ass*s. That loli must be drunk.

(For those confuse at the title, it will be explained in the next Chapter. Happy New Year Dearies.(´▽`ʃ♡ƪ))
