However, upon further investigation, it was found that places like blacksmith shops, carpenter shops, and insect breeding houses also had poor working environments.

Therefore, they were added to the second batch of subsidized occupations.

This adjustment helped balance the villager sentiments and made them more motivated in their work.

Just after coming out of the insect breeding house, I noticed that Zhu Ting and Ruan Shu had already returned.

From their expressions, it was clear that they had a great time in Wonguan Town.

"Why are you back so soon?" I asked.

Zhu Ting smiled and said, "It was just a quick experience.

I missed the old days a bit, but it's still better here.

What did you two do?" I inquired.

Ruare replied with a smile.

We had hot pot and ice cream and spent some time shopping at the mall.

I thought women would shop for a long time.

Zhuing said we would have shopped longer, but we kept getting pursued for friend requests, so we couldn't really enjoy it.

Plus, Wanim mentioned want to go to Chongat with you.

I asked, "Are you going to Chonga Town for something?" Wua laughed and said, "I'm quite interested in trading.

As soon as I heard you were going to Chongat, I want to go with you and it's a good time for trading now.

" I explained.

I'm going to buy some supplies, but I don't know if I can get them now.

I just want to try my luck.

Juan Schwin nodded.

The fog is just lifted.

So, resources in everyone's territories are definitely uneven.

Some territories have a lot of leftover food, but are seriously short on equipment.

While others have plenty of equipment, but lack medicine, so everyone is gathering in town to trade resources.

I smiled.

I hadn't thought of that.

You're truly a merchant at heart.

So, let's set off now.

This time we traveled light to Chonga town consisting of me, Zhuing, Ruan Shu, and 32nd tier female soldiers.

Each person rode a horse without a cart.

Our overall speed was fast, and we arrived at Chonga Town in about 2 hours.

The area around Chonga Town is protected by stone walls, but many parts have already collapsed.

Even the standing walls show numerous signs of attacks.

Several large gates are guarded by soldiers, but the checks are quite lenient now.

They only glanced at my identity and let them in.

Inside Chinatown, many buildings have collapsed or been damaged.

The ground is littered with broken stones and fallen wood.

The environment is chaotic, but there are still many people working.

Some are clearing trash, others are repairing buildings, and there are many players and merchant caravans coming and going.

I settled the accompanying female soldiers in the barracks and then headed to the military supply office.

I currently have a large number of frenzied corpse souls, but they're of no use to me, so I wanted to see how much they are worth.

The auditor was a new player.

When he saw my title as the town mayor, he became much more polite.

I inquired about the value of the corpse souls.

The auditor said, "Low-level frenzied corpse souls are worth two merit points, and a mid-level ones are worth five points.

" I asked, "Do people really use corpse souls? They come with significant negative side effects and can be addictive.

" The auditor responded, "Even if you become addicted, can't you just take another one? These corpse souls are relatively easy to obtain, and the benefits they provide are considerable, so quite a few people use them.

What about the mid-level ones?" I asked again, "The mid-level ones have a higher risk and greater side effects, so fewer people use them.

" Because fewer people use them, the consumption of mid-level corpse souls is also low.

So even if someone becomes addicted, they can still find them relatively easily.

Sometimes when you need to boost your combat power immediately.

You really have no choice but to use corpse souls as a backup plan.

I nodded.

Understood.

Thank you.

Is Captain Lynn here? The auditor said, "I'm not sure, but it seems he just went out.

I don't know where he went.

" I thanked him, left, and didn't te ask about the value of the king level frenzy corpse souls.

The three of us went straight to the market.

As Ruan Schw said, the market in Chongat was very lively today.

Not only was the market filled with vendors, but there are also many players setting up stalls along the roads.

As long as they didn't completely block the roads, the managing soldiers wouldn't interfere with them.

It seemed that Lin Noanu had given orders to encourage everyone to exchange resources and balance things out.

With Ruan around, I let her handle the trading, especially when dealing with male sellers.

Ruan Schwe's gentle smile could disarm most men.

Moreover, since Ru often dealt with various items, she was also very knowledgeable about the market.

I handed her 150 gold coins for the purchases, primarily targeting rare materials with top priority on the materials for sleeps.

Other items like crossbows, stockings, high heels, short skirts, and kerosene materials would also be purchased if the prices were reasonable.

I didn't t follow Juan, but let her and Zhuing go shopping in the market.

After all, if I were there, male sellers might feel jealous seeing me with two stunning women, making negotiations more difficult.

If the male sellers faced Zhu Ting and Juan Schwelong, bargaining with them would be a lot more effective.

I wandered around the market and noticed that although there were many sellers, the quality of the goods was not very good.

Some equipment had low durability and clearly showed signs of use.

Many players selling goods had a sign next to them indicating the items they needed, allowing players with those items to sell to them.

It was evident that these players were not in a good situation, especially after recently passing through the fog, as everyone had suffered considerable losses.

Only the goods from wandering merchants and caravans were of higher quality and quantity.

After more than an hour of browsing, I found a very crowded area where many people were surrounding a seller stall, making it nearly impossible to get through.

This piqued my interest strongly.

I tried to push my way through, but found it difficult.

After all, I only had three points of strength.

Gradually, other players began to push in from behind, inadvertently shoving me to the front.

To my surprise, I found myself staring at the seller.

The goods on the ground were not unusual.

They were common items and equipment, but the seller left me astonished.

It was Juan.

She was squatting on a large white cloth, occupying a space with her items for sale.

She was selling them at regular market prices, but her stall was extremely popular, surrounded by male players.

Many were buying her goods, and even more were just watching.

Ruana was simply dressed in ordinary leather clothes and pants, not wearing any fancy outfits.

Even so, numerous players gathered around to watch her.

Soon, she sold out all her items.

All sold out.

Everyone come again next time.

Juan packed up the white cloth, and only then did the crowd slowly disperse.

Chapter 192.

Power distribution.

Wan was counting money when she suddenly saw Sugene.

She shily said, "He he, I fell into my old habit again.

Always thinking about buying and selling.

" Sujene praised her.
