Chapter 46: Spirit Coins Earned by Skill

Yun He’s mouth dropped open. “Then what about Molan City?”

Mo Xie was taken aback. He actually frowned and thought about it for a full minute before finally replying, his expression serious, “We can let A Zheng inherit it.”

Yun He, Yuan An: (#Д)!!!

Just what is so attractive about this Earth Village that it could make Uncle Mo give up such a huge city just to come here and be an ordinary resident? Is this really okay?

Only Pei Yu grinned from ear to ear, feeling that his cousin was truly wise and insightful, a true hero who thought just like him.

Molan City might be big and bustling, but Earth Village has sweet and sticky pumpkins, crisp and refreshing cucumbers, danmu fruits sweeter than honey, and pure, uncontaminated meat to eat. Most importantly, there’s the Light Potion here that could save his life.

If it were him, he’d choose Earth Village too.

As for the people in Molan City—hmph! If they ever found out about Earth Village, they’d definitely want to move here too, especially that medicine maniac Ming Mu. He’d been researching potions to cleanse dark matter for years. If he learned there was Light Potion here, he’d probably brave a magnetic storm just to rush over.

Poor A Zheng, though, chosen by his cousin to guard Molan City. What a tough break!

Feigning sympathy, Pei Yu wiped away an imaginary tear for his dear friend, but inside he was giddy with delight. Next time he saw A Zheng, he’d be sure to personally congratulate him on becoming the new lord of Molan City. Hahaha...

“Village Chief! Village Chief! I want to sell corpses!”

Not far away, little Zhu Zhu waved her hand energetically, jumping up and down as she called out to Yun Qimu.

Yun Qimu had to swallow back what she’d been about to say and replied, “Coming!” Then she turned to the unlucky, soot-covered fellow in front of her. “I’m busy earning spirit coins right now. If you need anything, wait until I’m done. For now, I think you all might want to take a bath first.”

She then looked at Mo Xie. “Mr. Mo, since you know them, I’ll leave these three to you. Once they enter Earth Village’s boundaries, the system will automatically send them an invitation. They’ll need to confirm their residency before they can enter. Otherwise, they’ll be stopped outside. So don’t get mad and smash our village gate if that happens—the consequences would be serious.”

Mo Xie immediately thought of the star pirates who’d attacked Earth Village before and were now reduced to slaves.

Thinking of how they’d been bossed around these past few days, he kept a straight face and stayed silent. The consequences really were serious.

Yun Qimu just smiled and didn’t bother with his thoughts, walking briskly over to little Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Zhu’s childish voice was bright and cheerful. “Village Chief, I found three D-class, three B-class, and one A-class corpses. That’s 135 spirit coins, right?”

“That’s right.”

So, one handed over the coins, the other handed over the goods, and both sides happily completed the transaction.

Zhu Zhu’s little purse bulged with coins, and she bounced with joy. “Wow, now I can buy a little wooden house...”

With Zhu Zhu taking the lead, others started trading one after another, making Pei Yu and Mo Xie itch to join in.

Mo Xie immediately turned to his eldest nephew, his deep voice reassuring. “Don’t worry about the people who came with you. Once the magnetic storm passes and the communicators work again, I’ll send a message to Molan City and have them keep an eye out. As for whether you want to stay in Earth Village or go to Molan City, that’s up to you.”

Wu Xingyu pursed his lips in silence, silver eyes glimmering. He answered softly, “I’d like to take a look around Earth Village before deciding.”

Mo Xie nodded. “Alright, I’ll have Pei Yu show you around.”

But Pei Yu immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum. “No way, I’m not going. I still need to collect corpses and save up spirit coins.”

Mo Xie frowned, his face darkening with displeasure.

Clearly, he wasn’t eager to waste time either—he was also waiting to save up spirit coins to buy plant nutrient solution.

Wu Xingyu, however, wasn’t in a hurry to wash up. Instead, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he asked thoughtfully, “You can really earn spirit coins for Earth Village by collecting these berserk beast corpses?”

The two cousins nodded together. “Yes, you can.”

Wu Xingyu nodded in understanding. “Alright, then let’s not rush to Earth Village. Let’s collect some corpses and save up spirit coins too.”

He then turned and called to Yuan An and Yun He, “Come on, let’s go collect corpses.”

“Oh, oh!” Hearing this, the two immediately caught on to his meaning.

Only a fool would pass up a chance to make money. Their third brother was a master at making the most of every opportunity—he’d never waste a single chance to profit.

So, the three of them dashed off even faster than Mo Xie and Pei Yu, beating a local to a berserk beast’s corpse and staking their claim with a sign, just like everyone else.

Their hurried steps and eager corpse-collecting enthusiasm were no different from the others around them. You’d never guess that just a short while ago, they hadn’t even known what Earth Village or spirit coins were.

Well, maybe they still didn’t know exactly what spirit coins were.

But this kind of strong, adaptable money-making instinct left Mo Xie and Pei Yu dumbfounded. What happened to these kids over the years?

Did the little brats turn into money-grubbing fiends?

They didn’t have time to ponder—the competition for corpses was getting fiercer while the supply was dwindling. They had to hustle.

In the midst of all this busy trading, Yun Qimu was the most relaxed of all. With every deal, hearing the spirit coins clink and her balance rise, her smile grew wider.

“I want to sell corpses,” Wu Xingyu said, raising his hand.

Yun Qimu walked over and saw the huge pile of berserk beast corpses beside him—quite a lot, and most of them high-level.

She looked him over carefully. This soot-covered guy didn’t seem so unlucky after all!

Though the pile was gathered by three people, it was still more than what most Earth Village residents had managed to collect individually.

“Ahem... That’s a total of 1,300 spirit coins. Do you want them in cash, or should I transfer them to your storage space after you join Earth Village?”

Although the bank hadn’t been built yet, the main system was considerate. After she suggested it, the system immediately improved the spirit coin transaction process.

Now, Earth Village residents could apply to have spirit coins in their storage spaces transferred directly to others, making transactions easier and more convenient for everyone.
