Chapter 13: Land System (2/2)
He shared the view with Venomous as she had been a great help here. Though Michu had been told before to not talk, he could tell that he wouldn't be able to keep his back straight and eyes on the noble without blinking at all.
He leaned down to Venomous and whispered into her ear, ”How can you not even blink? Is it because you are a snake?”
”I tend to forget about it when I am focused,” Venomous replied, not batting an eye to Michu's close contact.
On the other side, ”You are pretty close. Haha, good luck.” He stood up and directed his last words to Venomous with ambiguous meaning. With the attention on him, he also said, ”I will give you a few soldiers to protect your new land. You need to have eyes on it 24/7, don't you?”
”That's generous of you,” Venomous thanked, but Fabian wasn't done just yet.
”In the past, I got a lot of new people here from all over the continent. I think you can guess why. All of them had lost their close ones to the players and didn't want to have anything to do with them. Here, I just throw quests at players and keep them busy without meddling in my city's affairs.”
”What you want to say is that those soldiers might just leave us?” Venomous asked.
Her worry was on the spot, ”While I have to change for the sake of my family, those soldiers can leave just as easy as they had come here.”
”It's okay. If we speak with them, we will be able to save them from hatred!” Michu chimed in and laughed in his usual, innocent way.
Both noble-like presences around him just smiled with anticipation for the next development.

[Do you want to change your land's name to 'Monkey God's Land!'?]
”Hehe! I want it, but I can't!” Michu stupidly giggled, then erased what he'd typed. He turned his eyes to Venomous and asked, ”What will the name of your guild be?”
”I haven't thought about it yet. A name… is not important,” Venomous indifferently replied.
She had already seen the land system and her mind was full of it. While the monkey focused on more fun things such as name and location, Venomous focused on the soldier list, the land's properties, and surroundings.
”I believe we should be able to level up to 25 here,” Venomous finally began the most important talk, ”But we won't be able to level up if we leave your land defenseless. Do you just want to talk with those soldiers?”
”Yeah! I feel like we just should talk without any underhanded methods!” Michu replied, then the duo arrived in their new land.
This land was close to the mountain which was one of two things this whole city had been named after.
In this mountain, Lord Fabian had his mines, but as per his words, those were also about to be taken away.
She wanted to scrutinize this matter, but her matters were the most important.
The land had nothing as it was just a small part of the forest given to Michu. Through their player system, Michu and Venomous could see how far they could do their stuff here.
This setting was just called a border and it could be turned off after proper walls would be built here.
While the world allowed players to have a lot of freedom and so they could build houses whenever they wanted, the ownership allowed players and NPCs to see on their minimap everything that happened on their land 24/7…
Additionally, the peasant could protect their land with various techniques that could be added through the land system.
”I will build a house in the middle, then create a banana paradise around me!” Michu said with a big smile on his face.
His pure desire elicited a sigh from Venomous. But a smile quickly followed after as she already expected that from him.
She then crossed her arms, ”Looks like our soldiers are already here.” A lady faded into the background after saying it as it was Michu's time to talk.
But it was hard for Venomous to blend with her white hair, snake eyes, and knitted eyebrows as those soldiers had been already cursing and complaining out loud.
