Chapter 232: The People's Meeting

Mu Hua likes sweets very much, and the pie made by Selma is also very delicious, a hot apple pie with a cup of hot milk.

Enjoying the crispy and soft texture of the dessert, Mu Hua and Selma were each flipping through a book, enjoying the quiet and peace in the small shop with few customers.

There was no heated discussion, nor too much enthusiastic chit-chat. Mu Hua occupied Selma's rocking chair and spent nearly two hours eating a piece of apple pie before wiping his mouth and saying goodbye to Selma.

Life in a small town is slower, at least it has always been slower.

The life of the townspeople is not too luxurious, but simple, plain, and occasionally a little vulgar. This kind of living atmosphere makes it difficult to retain young people in the town.

However, with the development of the courtyard, more and more adventurers will come here, and the calm lake will always be rippled. I think some young people outside will also consider returning.

After saying goodbye to Selma, Mu Hua met Dorn, who ran a clinic, in front of Old Barron's tavern.

Although Dorn's clinic is labeled as an ophthalmology clinic, he can handle everything from tooth extraction to constipation treatment. He is a good doctor with a full beard.

This middle-aged man looked quite rough, but Mu Hua followed him into Old Barron's tavern again.

A group of middle-aged and elderly people who were not doing their jobs gathered in the hotel. They got together to drink in the early morning and were discussing how to organize people to participate in a possible star patrol meeting.

That's right, a group of old guys from Anju are going to negotiate with the 'Devil King'. Mu Hua is quite speechless about this group of middle-aged and elderly people.

In their words: 'My territory, my rules.'

When something big happens in the courtyard on our own land, people from all walks of life have to be sent, so how can we locals be left out?
Well, attitude is very important. It is hard to say whether the people on Loren's side will clamor for protection, but the one right these people have been fighting for for a long time and have never given up is the right to protect themselves.

If you accept someone else's protection, you will naturally have to pay protection fees. The degree to which you are protected will also determine the degree to which others possess you. This is human nature. When you don't even have the power to protect yourself, haha...

Stop talking nonsense!

After all, the gate to the courtyard is right in front of their own home. As for their hometown, the old guys said that as long as we can still carry guns and want to have a say here, we must first ask the opinions of the townspeople.

Well, to put it simply, it's just a group of unruly people holding a meeting.

In order to prevent the indigenous people of the town from being oppressed and ignored in the future, a group of old guys plan to organize some people to participate in a negotiation with the Lord of the Courtyard together with the starship cluster that is likely to arrive.

Pies may fall from the sky, but pies are also smashed out with a mallet.

They are looking for trouble, but they are also fighting for their own future rights. Mu Hua can't think of any good adjectives to describe them, but the word "troublesome people" always flashes in his mind from time to time.

He happened to attend a party where a group of old guys wanted to form a team. They had no objection, and Mu Hua very consciously expressed his willingness to join the team.

Even though they were reminiscing about the past and thinking about the present, they even brought up their fights with bears and pigs when they were young, and the discussion was so heated.

But there is no need to think too much. This rural group will probably just be a bystander by then. It will definitely be the kind of annoying team that will withdraw first when there is a problem.

It's annoying, but who made Mu Hua work with them...

A group of middle-aged and elderly people didn't even eat anything, they just kept drinking.

Mu Hua was sneaky and kept up the pace of "raising fish" until the party was over. When he left the pub again, it was around two o'clock in the afternoon.

The apple pie he had eaten in the morning had long been digested. Mu Hua returned to the hotel and asked Tietou to prepare five Minotaur steaks for him as soon as he entered the room.

"Are Tabitha and the others back?" Mu Hua asked Deman while sitting at the bar.

"No, they didn't go to the academy. They seemed to have gone to Fiona's maze, and your Ikaros was with them." As Deman said this, he approached Mu Hua with a slightly flattering look.

"BOSS, is Ikaros really a magical life form? Did you create him?" Deman asked in a low voice.

"Well...what?" Mu Hua answered with a disgusted tone. He already knew what Deman wanted to say.

"Hey, Boss, can you help me..." Deman tried to test him guiltily.

"No, don't even think about it. Go get some magical brain areas so I can add some waiters to the hotel."

"If you have the ability, go and pursue it yourself. Do you want me to make you a doll to satisfy your desires? Impossible." Mu Hua said with a curled lip. As long as they were not in a "deep communication" relationship, Mu Hua could help the girls make a handsome guy to play with them happily, but he could not accept making a girl to play with a handsome guy happily.

There's no specific reason, I just simply can't accept it.

What's more, this guy Deman doesn't look handsome at all. He should be more simple and order takeout if necessary.

"Can I pursue her?" Deman questioned.

"Yes, I have no objection as long as the other party is willing to marry you." Mu Hua confirmed.

"You don't hit people?" Deman asked carefully.

"Do not hit."

"Then let's build it!" Deman looked expectant.

"Bring me the magic brain." Mu Hua stretched out his hand.

"It's not made for me, why are you asking me for it?" Deman protested dissatisfiedly.

"Then let's not build it for now." Mu Hua waved his hand and said as a matter of course.

"It's difficult to buy a separate magic brain area. How about... helping Tietou to upgrade his level?" Deman discovered the problem. While he was struggling, he looked at Tietou who was delivering food to Mu Hua with malicious eyes.

"Tietou, do you want to die once? He wants magical life." Patting Tietou's square body, Mu Hua said to the puppet that delivered the meal.

"Sir, fire him. I can help you hire a better manager." Tietou carefully helped Mu Hua arrange the knife and fork. He glanced at Deman with his electronic eyes and said with disdain.

Ever since Ikaros appeared, the living puppets in the hotel have significantly increased their respect for Mu Hua. Now they don’t even mind when Mu Hua calls them Iron Head.

Mu Hua had Ikaros communicate with them about upgrading their magical life forms. But if their souls had been changed, could it still be considered an upgrade?
Obviously, these living puppets don't want to "sacrifice themselves for others" in this matter. They would rather wait until Mu Hua's skills become more sophisticated and help them "upgrade" in a real sense.

"Go away, can't you see I'm joking with the boss? Go to work, clean the swimming pool." Faced with Tietou's disgust, Deman assigned work to him as if driving him away.

"The sir's steaks haven't been delivered yet. I'll go clean them up after they're delivered."

"What I said just now was a joke. If you want the magic brain, you should contact our dealers. They may be able to find the supply." Tietou retorted, turned and left, no longer paying attention to Deman.

"Haha, it seems that you won't be very popular with magical life forms. By the way, can you get the magical brain area?" Mu Hua laughed as he looked at the interaction between the man and the puppet.

"A bunch of mercenary bastards." Deman raised his middle finger at Tietou's back and cursed, then looked at Mu Hua.

"Those puppet sellers may be able to get low-level magic brains, but they may not be able to get higher-level ones."

"After all, an intermediate magic brain can be used to make combat puppets. The price of a combat puppet is very different from that of a magic brain." Deman said to Mu Hua.

"Low-level? Forget about low-level ones. I don't like the lives I created to die of old age in front of me." Mu Hua thought and shook his head.

The quality of the magic brain also determines the level of life factors it can be compatible with.

Creating puppets is fine, but as for magical life, the magical life created by the low-level magical brain is basically the same as ordinary people, with birth, aging, sickness and death, and a life span of a hundred years.

"You sound like you'll live a long life, go ahead."

"Magical lifeforms are much better than these iron heads. They are pleasing to the eye and have good personalities." Seeing that he could not get any benefits from Mu Hua, Deman started to argue with Mu Hua again.

While Deman was describing the loveliness of magical life with a longing look on his face and asking Mu Hua if he could pursue Ikaros, Tabitha and Vivian came to a monster maze in Fiona's courtyard.

Under the surprised gazes of the two women, the originally cute and soft Ikaros suddenly changed his temperament, and a cold and stern voice rang in the ears of the two women.

"Personality switch, Sky Queen mode activated, friendly members, two low-level creatures, mission, annihilate!"
