Chapter 867: Chapter 563, Confession Scene

The next day, after breakfast.
Fang Hao went to the tanners’ district early in the morning.
By the time he got there, the tanners had already started their work.
Some took over from the skeleton laborers who were previously processing the leather, while others set up huge iron pots.
Inside, a paste-like substance was stewing, thick and sticky.
When he approached, he could smell a somewhat pungent odor.
Fang Hao stood at the entrance, chatting with Bach for a while, and then didn’t continue to pay attention to the tanners’ situation. He led the replaced skeleton workers out towards the city’s outskirts.
As the territory developed, crafting and gathering were carried out exclusively by specialized troops.
More skeleton laborers were arranged by Fang Hao to work in production buildings like the ‘glass factory’ and the ‘brick kiln’.
To increase the factories’ production efficiency.
As the territory kept expanding, not only did they need these materials, but the satellite cities did too.
Therefore, a high output efficiency was very important.
After dealing with these matters,
Fang Hao, accompanied by Demitrija, headed straight to Trade Alliance station number 032.
Today was the day he had arranged to meet with the leader of Dreamy Forest, ‘Shinisara’.
Unless something unexpected happened, the other party shouldn’t stand him up.
When they arrived at the Trade Alliance’s territory, right in front of the shop he had purchased,
Across from the shop, next to the tavern, a group of people had gathered in an open space.
They were quietly talking among themselves, facing the shop.
And these people, judging by their looks and attire, were clearly transmigrators.
Fang Hao was slightly taken aback—so many transmigrators had managed to reach the Trade Alliance station.
Oh!
In an instant, he was reminded of the recent hot topics in the channels.
No wonder offline meetups had become popular in the regional channels these past few days; they were using the Trade Alliance’s station to meet up.
Damn, I might as well open a love hotel.
“Demitrija, you go into the store by yourself; I’m going to see what they’re talking about!” Fang Hao said.
Demitrija cast a glance at the gathering of transmigrators nearby, evaluated their threat level.
After assessing for a while and deeming there was no great danger, especially since this was the Trade Alliance, he nodded in agreement, “All right, my lord.”
After speaking, he went straight into the shop.
Meanwhile, Fang Hao approached the group of transmigrators.
There were more than ten people here, all men, some with militia at their sides, but none with special troop types.
Seeing Fang Hao approach, they didn’t take much notice.
“Ahem! What are you all looking at?” Fang Hao asked a man on the edge of the group.
The man was young and wore a gold chain around his neck.
Without turning his head, he replied directly, “Don’t you have eyes?”
Er…
“I do, but what’s so interesting to look at?” Fang Hao asked, puzzled.
The man started and turned around abruptly to look at Fang Hao, “Are you Nantong?”
“Nope, I’m Fu Lei!”
The man sized him up again before saying, “You don’t like bunny girls? You don’t like fox spirits?”
“Uh, I like…”
“Cut it! Then we’re friends now.”
While they were talking, another man encouraged by a group of men stepped out with a bouquet of flowers in hand and headed straight into the shop to offer them to Little White.
But Little White clearly wasn’t receiving flowers for the first time.
She smiled politely and directly rejected the man’s gesture.
Compared to the other maids, Little White had seen more of the world, having run a shop herself.
She reacted quickly to the situation.
The man professing his love returned dejectedly, tossing the flowers aside without care.
The man with the gold chain next to Fang Hao sighed softly.
“The seventh one, and not a single success.”
“So early and already the seventh?” Fang Hao exclaimed.
“No joke, the early bird gets the worm,” the man with the gold chain said directly.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Hao asked curiously, “Don’t you have women in your territories?”
At that comment, several other men around turned their heads to look at Fang Hao.
Another man asked, “You have women in your territory?”
“Yeah,” Fang Hao nodded.
The man with the gold chain went on, “So what if there are women? I’ve taken in quite a few refugees in my territory, of course there are women, but none of them compare to these bunny girls and fox spirits here.”
“You’re better off than me—around my territory, there are just orcs with huge mouths and sharp fangs. The female orcs’ legs are thicker than my waist.”
“Man, it’s all the same in the dark; you’re too picky,” Fang Hao said.
“I’m not picky; it’s her who says she’s not feeling it. Speaking of which, bunny girls are still orcs, right? Why haven’t I come across them?”
The three of them chatted in low voices when another person was pushed forward.
He carried something that looked like a jewelry box, likely filled with rings or necklaces, and walked into the shop.
This person was more formal.
He got down on one knee before a bunny maid, loudly declaring his love.
The bunny maid was so frightened her cheeks turned pale.
She ran upstairs immediately.
Leaving the man kneeling alone, holding the jewelry box, looking somewhat lost.
After hesitating for a while, he slowly got up, shouted a few words like ‘I’m serious’ and ‘I will win you over’ towards the second floor, and then returned to the group.
“The eighth one, and jewelry didn’t work,” the man with the gold chain remarked.
Wow, they were seriously strategizing!
In the time that followed, one after another approached to make small talk, present gifts, and one who looked like a rich second generation went to show off his wealth.
All were met with failure in the end.
