Chapter 294 Orange Cat: Business Player
"Stop talking nonsense! Do you want my wife to beat me to death?" screamed the orange cat boss.
"You have a beautiful wife but you still have gay relationships, what a scumbag!" Jialuo quickly added.
"That's right, if you have the guts, just come out publicly. What's the point of faking a marriage?" Tang Jia also handed over the knife.
Yang Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Alright, alright, that's enough, Boss Ou Yan is about to draw his sword."
The beluga didn't want to pay any attention to them and walked out of the yard alone.
This mountain village is very small.
Also very poor.
The villagers' houses scattered on a small piece of hillside are all wooden sheds with thick mud on the outer walls and a layer of reed stalks as the roof; most of the houses have small courtyards with fences filled with branches and wood picked up from the mountains. Obviously, this is the only fuel available to the villagers.
There were no sounds of chickens and dogs as sung in pastoral idylls, only a few ducks and geese roaming around on the river bank at the foot of the mountain southwest of the village.
There were no cattle or horses to be seen. Looking up, there were only a few skinny donkeys helping the villagers with their work on the relatively flat land to the east and south of the village.
However, many families raise pigs - they raise them in their own homes. When the weather is cold, these pigs serve as heaters for the elderly and children.
The road in and out of the village can't even be called a road... It's just a loess road that has been trampled by so many people, with potholes all over it. When it rains, it becomes a quagmire, and when it's sunny, the ground is covered with dust.
When the undead appeared in the lord's house, there were several families not too far away. There were some half-grown children who were covered in black, had wild and unruly messy hair, and were naked. They hid under the fence of their own yard and looked over here secretly in what they thought was a covert move.
Ouyang looked around the impoverished village silently, and took a deep breath.
He did have the urge to draw his weapon.
But he didn't want to kill the girls who made fun of him, but wanted to kill the orange cat.
——Even if it’s a dirt-poor rural territory, he still wants it!
Which player who is keen on casual gameplay does not yearn for this kind of territory management gameplay with a high degree of freedom!
If there hadn't been players who had verified that killing the orange cat wouldn't allow him to take away the territory he earned from the NPC, Beluga would have done it a long time ago...
The orange cat didn't realize that the good brother he called for help was secretly planning a hundred ways for him to die. He lay flat on his back and let the girls mock him. He said helplessly, "Are you here to help me or to bully me? Can you please have some conscience? For the sake of me sending you snacks, please stop saying such insults."
Thinking about receiving the duck tongue seafood sent by the orange cat, Jialuo and Tangjia felt a little embarrassed: "Okay, okay, let's stop talking nonsense. How much authority do you have as a lord? How does it compare to Ji Tang's authority as the mayor?"
The orange cat immediately became proud, dancing with joy and boasting: "I asked Ji Tang, my lord panel is more comprehensive and has greater authority than his mayor panel! Not only can I appoint village chiefs, I can also hire up to a hundred NPCs or players to assist in the development of the territory. The territory in the territory is also at my disposal. This village, the surrounding 23 square kilometers of land, these mountains, and this section of the river are all my territory! I can plan it freely, and I don't have to apply to the NPC lord like Ji Tang did!"
The beluga sturgeon standing outside the fenced yard stared at the neck of its orange cat owner.
Yang Ying, Jia Luo and Tang Jia in the station yard also had the urge to draw weapons...
How could such a good thing as becoming the first player lord in the whole game be picked up by this guy!
"Oh, right, Miss Linda and the NPCs assigned by the Odysseus family are also my people! They obey my orders!" The orange cat, who had no warning of the crisis at all, pointed happily towards the lord's house, "The supplies they brought are also mine. If there is any problem with the territory's economy, we can apply for financial assistance from the Queen!"
In the Lord's Mansion, which consists of three bungalows (two wooden houses and one brick house), Miss Linda, wearing an azalea badge, gave the players a stiff smile at the right time...
Miss Linda brought a guard and a young deacon to provide services for the Undead Lord. Theoretically, the three of them were indeed subordinates of the Undead Lord, unless Miss Phoenix transferred them back.
She received a mission to win over the undead and brought two people to such a remote mountain village (Phoenix was afraid that the undead would cause trouble if it was too close to the town), and it was estimated that they would have to stay there for a long time. Miss Linda's heart was definitely not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
Ouyang drew out his staff uncontrollably, and Yang Ying also drew his weapon unconsciously.
The orange cat boss finally realized how much hatred his boastful behavior had attracted, and stepped back nervously: "Wait, calm down, I am your relative, a very close relative!"
"Look how poor this place is. There's not even a pigpen and the children are all naked. You're here to help me manage my territory, not to kill me!"
"Sorry, I really can't help it." Yang Ying nodded apologetically, bent his knees slightly, and rushed out.
The beluga used the sturdy staff as a baseball bat and smashed it on the orange cat's head with an expressionless face.
In broad daylight and in full view of everyone, the four of them worked together to send the orange cat offline. Only then did they calmly stroll around this first territory open to players and discuss business strategies.
"It is said that if you live by the mountain, you can eat by the mountain; if you live by the water, you can eat by the water. There are both mountains and water here. I think we can consider these two aspects. What do you think?" Yang Ying suggested after walking a few steps down the mountain.
"I think it's difficult." Tang Jia shook her head and said, "This place is too far from the city, and the road is not good, so it's not that easy to develop. Do you remember the logging mission we did? The nobles who opened logging camps in the mountains had to invest money to build roads first."
"Can't we use water transport?" Yang Ying pointed to the shimmering Barcelo River at the foot of the mountain.
"Sister Ying, look carefully at how far the ships sailing in the river are from the riverbank. Although this place is close to the river, since there is no pier, it means that this section of the river is not suitable for ships to dock. Not all riverbanks are suitable for opening ports. There must be a suitable water depth." Jialuo, who lives on the bank of the Yangtze River, seems to have some common sense in this area and answered Yang Ying's question.
Yang Ying scratched his head for a long time, and then said, "Then it's OK to develop fisheries. There shouldn't be so many restrictions on where fishing boats can dock. I saw the UP host's boat in the video of fishing at the sea, and they can dock whenever they want."
"Not to mention whether the villagers here can become fishermen. Even if they can, where will the fishing boats come from? Who will teach the fishermen the skills? How will they deliver the fish that are caught?" Tang Jia spread his hands.
Yang Ying: "…This is a dead end. We can't even transport anything out. What's the point?"
Ouyang, who had been following the third sister silently, suddenly said, "Yes."
The three sisters turned around at the same time.
"As long as the weight does not exceed 100 kilograms, players can use the teleportation array to send it." Ou Yan said concisely.
"That's right!" Yang Ying clenched his fist and clapped his hands. "It's hard for the villagers to get out, but we can do it!"
"That's right. As long as there are things here that can be used as commodities, we can help deliver the goods!" Tang Jia touched his chin, his eyes shining.
The four of them acted as soon as they thought of it, and immediately turned back to the Lord's House to discuss with Miss Linda who could communicate with the players...
Miss Linda, who was still silently brainwashing herself to accept reality, was quite amused by the undead's proposal and said tactfully: "Undead warriors, do you think there is anything in this village that has commercial value?"
This damn place with nothing is so poor!
Does Miss Phoenix dare to leave the wealthier places to be destroyed by the undead?
The four of them looked at each other, then ran out of the house and ran around the mountains and rivers outside the village...
At the foot of the mountain, the villagers working in the fields could look up and see the four ghosts running around.
The fact that the lord was a dead spirit was naturally quite difficult for the villagers to accept - even though this ghost place was so poor, no lord had been here for more than ten years before being remembered by the people of Odysseus's family.
But no matter how hard it is to accept, life still has to go on, especially now it is spring. If we don’t turn the soil and sow seeds quickly, the whole year will be very difficult.
Even though the undead appeared in the lord's house in the village that had been vacant for many years, the undead ran around the village and hung around in front of every household. The villagers continued to work while worrying about their children.
As long as the undead do not attack them or interfere with their farm work, the villagers really do not have much energy to care about these undead.
The players running around found a lot of mountain products, such as shepherd's purse, jujube, wild alfalfa, wild mugwort, toon and other common mountain products in the south.
But... it's no use!
These wild mountain products all show signs of being picked, and it is obvious that the villagers also collect them for consumption.
Players can guess why the villagers have never thought of making money from these mountain products - whether in Inadli or in Moses Port, players have seen NPCs selling this kind of mountain products.
The situation where carrying a few baskets of mountain products into the city will cause the ignorant city people to scramble for them will never happen in this game with so much realistic details!
"It's obviously impossible to get rich by selling some mountain products—"
Until the orange cat boss came back online with a wronged look on his face, the four of them still hadn't found a way to make a fortune. Jialuo, a fan of farming novels, groaned in pain and weakness.
"What are you thinking? You can't become rich overnight with the business model." A ginger cat didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Since you want to play the business model, you have to start from the first pot of gold and do it step by step."
"With these conditions, where can I get the first pot of gold?" Tang Jia said weakly.
"Yes." The orange cat boss pointed to the southwest of the mountain. "Do you see that river beach? It's full of river sand and pebbles. We can sell it by the ton if we transport it upstream to Innadri or downstream to Moses Port."
Four people: “?!”
"It's just that the logistics are a bit troublesome. We have to use a small boat to transport it to a large ship that can't dock. I feel that we can't solve this problem alone. We still have to find Sister Zhao." A ginger cat said, "I've thought about it. Why don't we cooperate with Sister Zhao to develop it and use half of the profits in exchange for the Innadeli City Hall to provide logistics. After earning the start-up capital, we can find a way to develop some sustainable specialty industries... Hmm? What's wrong with what I said? Why do you look at me like this?"
Yang Ying, Ouyang and the others all stared at the orange cat boss.
