Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 92 City on the Lake

Jiang Ke, who left the gathering place easily, was a little disappointed.

She originally thought Qin Yun would ambush a group of troops to catch her.

In this way, she could try the [Star God's Mind Entrainment Technique] she learned from Ying Xingchu.

This is an artifact for large-scale team battles.

This is also the skill that Jiang Ke feels is most useful when paired with Liu Yuehong's [True Knowledge].

Each of the mental skills is more outrageous than the last, let alone a first-generation android like Ying Xingchu.

"Oh~ I'm disappointed."

She stood in the open space, frowned and thought for a moment, and murmured to herself:

"The second stop... let's go there. If you're lucky, you might be able to meet old friends from before."

Jiang Ke thought like this, exerted force with his feet, and rushed out.

This time her goal was not far from here, which was the place where she had lived for the second longest time in her previous life.

"Whoosh——!"

Her figure swept across the earth as quickly as a gust of wind.

It only took ten minutes for her to feel some moist and cool wind blowing in the air.

This wind is so precious and comfortable on a hot summer day. Although Jiang Ke is not afraid of the heat or anything else, he still slows down.

She walked past a high wall that was obviously man-made - indeed, she walked directly on the wall.

After crossing the high wall, she was already standing on a high slope. Looking from a distance, she saw a vast lake not far away.

The wind stirred the water surface, creating ripples.

Boats of all sizes are connected on the lake with iron cables and iron plates, and simple houses are built on the iron plates. It looks like a "city on the lake".

The monster spawning mechanism in global games does not spawn monsters on the water. At most, it spawns monsters in the water. So when you live on a boat, you don’t have to worry about seeing a ghost suddenly spawning monsters at home in the middle of the night.

"Lucheng, long time no see."

Jiang Ke did not wear a stone hat this time, but walked slowly towards the lake.

As expected, I was stopped when I was about to enter Lake City.

"Hello, are you an outsider?"

The guard in uniform asked.

Their expressions were serious. Although there were only three of them, they were all professionals.

You know, Qin Yun's side is just an ordinary person serving as a guard.

"I am a businessman from afar."

Jiang Ke took out a small bag of strawberries and a bag of rice from his pocket.

"Well, this is just a small part. I still have a lot of goods, and I plan to sell them in Lake City."

The guards exchanged glances with each other. Among them, the leader seemed to have relaxed his expression, and his tone was even a little respectful:

"Then you need to register first. We will also send people to follow you to ensure that no one will disturb your business."

He said this as if he was being kind to Jiang Ke, but in fact it was not to guard against an outsider like Jiang Ke?

If Jiang Ke hadn't been a merchant and had taken rare materials such as large trees and fruits, I'm afraid they would have been more cautious and strict.

However, Jiang Ke also knew that after living there for so long in his previous life, he had already adapted to the strict management of Lake City.

Besides, if it weren't so strict, there wouldn't be so many people who would want to join Lake City and live there permanently.

Strictness is not a bad thing in this world. As long as it is not harsh, people always expect rules to restrain them.

"Okay, I'll bother you then."

Jiang Ke looked at him, smiled slightly, hooked his fingers, and a handful of about a dozen strawberries floated into the air.

"This is for you, try it and see how it tastes."

"We can't want it! We can't just accept people's things." The three of them shook their heads and refused:

"Please put it away and register with us."

"Really don't want it?"

There was a look of surprise on Jiang Ke's face, which was naturally fake. Because she knew the man in front of her who could only be described as ordinary-looking.

In his previous life, the other party had managed to get into the position of a guard captain, and he was quite popular for being very disciplined and not pedantic.

"Really, please come with us."

He had turned around, and the corners of Jiang Ke's mouth slightly raised, revealing a mischievous smile.

Her eyesight was quite good, and she saw that the Adam's apples of the three people moved. They were obviously attracted to the strawberries.

If you live on the lake for a long time, what fruits can you eat?

Not to mention that this is high-quality fruit produced in the apartment.

Just like that, she put away the strawberries, was sandwiched between the three people, and stepped onto the bridge connecting Lake City.

After walking for a few minutes, she truly set foot on the "iron metropolis" of Lake City.

The ground made of these large steel plates is connected and you won't feel any bumps when you step on it, just like walking on the ground.

It is said that the city owner of Lake City is a fan of the Three Kingdoms... The inspiration for Lake City came from the "Iron Chain" presented by Mr. Pang Tong.

Of course, there is no need to worry about fire burning Chibi in this world.

There are a lot of water professionals in Lake City. If they use their skills together, they can even eliminate the "Lake Roar".

"Please register. How long do you plan to stay in the city?"

The man took out a form and ballpoint pen and handed them to Jiang Ke.

"How many days... I don't know. If I plan to live here, can I rent a house?"

"Houses cannot be rented. They are basically taken care of. You can rent a cabin to live in."

He pointed to the huge yachts not far away and explained:

"One of them is specially used to receive foreign guests."

"How much is the rent?"

"Equipment, gold coins, and food are all fine. The best thing is food."

"That's it..."

Jiang Ke looked at the yacht in the distance and pretended to be thoughtful.

"Then I don't know how many days I will stay. I will leave when the items are almost sold."

"Then just fill in the length of residence column on your form. Just fill it out and give it to me."

Jiang Ke nodded, lowered his head three times, divided five by two, filled out the form, and handed it to him.

After the man confirmed that it was correct, he formally introduced himself to Jiang Ke:

"Welcome to Lake City, Jiang Ke. I am Zhang An from the Third Guards of Lake City."

"Hello."

"If you want to sell something, you can go to the market in the west. Our Lake City is rich in aquatic products. If you are a businessman, you can consider buying some to take away."

"I will buy it if necessary, so please take me there."

"follow me."

Zhang An and Jiang Ke walked along the road to the west, meeting quite a few people along the way.

They held today's harvest in their hands, chatting and laughing, or jumped on the boat where they lived, or returned to the simple house.

This place really relies on the lake to eat from the lake, with all kinds of fish as its main food - you can see this just by looking at this wet market.

Almost all the stalls were filled with various types of fish, large and small, and the air was filled with a fishy smell. It was like visiting a fish market.

At this time, Jiang Ke was really glad that Xiaolan's blessing also had the effect of purifying the air.

I was used to smelling it in my previous life, but after staying in the apartment for a long time in this life, I really am not used to this smell.
