Chapter 1489 The Game Arena 39
Such dangerous things happened all the time. So when the Zhang family arrived at the new territory with the caravan, only Zhang's father, grandfather, and the underage child who was invincible remained. The original owner's stepmother and grandmother had been sacrificed by them.

Actually, the remaining people should be thankful that the caravan was heading to a territory not under Linlang's control. Otherwise, they still wouldn't be able to get in, and they would have to find a way to go to other territories. If they ran out of money and couldn't afford to go, they would be even more unlucky.

Upon arriving in their new territory and seeing so many of their family members dead, they didn't reflect on their own actions. They realized they shouldn't have threatened the lord of Yong'an Territory, which led to their expulsion and the deaths of so many people. They also didn't reflect on how they used others as scapegoats to save their own lives. They felt largely responsible for the deaths of these people, instead placing the blame solely on Yong'an Territory and planning to take revenge on them to avenge their families.

That's what mentally strong people are like: they never fight internally, and they always blame others.

However, they probably won't be in the mood to think about these things for a long time, because after arriving in the new territory, they found that the daily accommodation fee was twenty copper coins, and there weren't many tasks to do in the territory. Even if there were, they were only for the lord's relatives and friends, not ordinary people. If they wanted to make money, they could only go out and fight monsters.

Moreover, this territory is only a level three territory and has not yet been upgraded to a level four territory. In other words, it is not as safe as the Yong'an territory, since the Yong'an territory has been upgraded to a level four territory and should be safe for a considerable period of time.

If this territory doesn't reach level four, they might be attacked by monsters one day, and then they'll be in trouble.

Therefore, they still need to think about whether or not to become official residents of this territory.

Of course, the official resident fee for this territory is five hundred copper coins, which they cannot afford to raise in a short time.

This territory charges each person 20 copper coins per day for temporary lodging. However, food, drink, and lodging within the territory are so expensive, and there are no quests to do. They can only go out to fight monsters, but their levels are too low to fight monsters, so they don't know how to earn money to support themselves, let alone save up to become official residents.

When the original owner's father and grandfather entered the territory, they found that they were not qualified to accept territory missions. After finding it difficult to earn the temporary accommodation fee of twenty copper coins a day, they inquired everywhere to see if anyone wanted to hire people to do things. Their idea was to earn the temporary accommodation fee first, so that they wouldn't have money to stay tomorrow after paying today and being kicked out of the territory.

In the end, it turned out that doing any work within the territory was out of the question. Even if it wasn't an official task but a privately hired job, there was a huge competition for it, and the wages were low. It was almost impossible to pay the 20 copper coins for temporary accommodation, because there were a thousand official residents in a level three territory. They didn't need to pay the daily accommodation fee, but they still needed to eat, drink, and stay overnight. In order to avoid going out to fight monsters, they would take on these tasks within the territory, offering extremely low prices. Since the unofficial residents had to pay the daily accommodation fee, that amount of money was simply not enough, so they offered higher prices and couldn't compete with the official residents.

Since neither official nor local missions could be completed within the territory, Sun's father and grandfather had no choice but to fight monsters.

However, their level was too low to fight. In the end, it took Sun's father a lot of persuasion before a small team was willing to help them level up. They would pay back the money after they leveled up and were able to fight monsters and make money. Anyway, they had signed a contract with the system, so they weren't afraid that the system would default on the debt. Unless the two of them died, the money they earned in the future would definitely be deducted from the creditors first.

With the help of this team, Zhang's father and grandfather leveled up, and the two were able to barely stay in that territory. However, they lived in constant fear, afraid that one day when they went out to fight monsters and make money, they would be killed by powerful monsters.

Every time they thought about the danger to their lives if they went out, they would resent the Yong'an Territory. But for Linlang, she didn't care at all whether the original owner's father hated her or not. She was in a good mood after she drove the Zhang family out of the territory.

Thanks to the Zhang family threatening her, she was able to drive them away without any problem; otherwise, she would have had to come up with a reason to do so.

After driving away the original owner's father's family, Linlang did not drive away the original owner's mother's family, because the original owner's mother now had a job in the territory, and had left her husband's family. She was doing well and did not cause any trouble, so Linlang did not need to drive them away.

As long as she doesn't cause any trouble in the future, Linlang won't bother her.

The original owner's mother wouldn't cause trouble for Linlang, but it was the original owner's mother's ex-husband's family who, because they were not doing well, were stirring up trouble again.

The original owner's mother, Wang Jing's, ex-husband wasn't that thick-skinned and was too embarrassed to do anything, but his family was different.

Seeing that Wang Jing was doing well, and that their precious darling was spending all the money her ex-husband earned every day, leaving their family without enough money to buy a formal resident status and thus unable to take on territory missions to earn money, they wanted to borrow money from Wang Jing or Linlang to buy a formal resident status.

That's right. Not only did they want to borrow money from Wang Jing, but they also felt that Wang Jing might not be earning enough, so they wanted to borrow money from Lin Lang instead.

After all, Linlang lives in a big villa, so she must be rich. They had been envious for a long time, so they thought of borrowing money from Linlang to change their family of four into regular residents. That way, they could save on temporary housing fees every day and save more money. In reality, they wouldn't save any money, because no matter how much money they had, their precious grandson would spend it all.

Actually, the territory could lend them money, so why didn't Wang Jing's ex-husband's family of four lend it to them, but instead planned to borrow from Wang Jing and Linlang?
Needless to say, borrowing money from the territory means you definitely have to pay it back; there's no way you can just owing it and not pay it back. But borrowing from Wang Jing and Lin Lang—is that really borrowing? That's using the guise of borrowing to not intend to pay it back. After all, wouldn't it be better for them to use the money themselves? Why should they pay back money they borrowed through their own abilities?

This was the idea of ​​Wang Jing's ex-husband's family, or more precisely, the idea of ​​Wang Jing's former stepson and former parents-in-law.

There was no way around it; relying solely on Wang Jing's ex-husband to support the whole family wasn't enough. So, Wang Jing's former stepson and former in-laws had always coveted Wang Jing, especially Linlang's money.

Wang Jingqian's stepson, in particular, was extremely envious of Linlang's big villa. He really wanted to live in the villa and eat the delicious food that he couldn't afford with his meager money. He thought that as long as he could successfully recognize Zhang Linlang as his relative, and given how rich she was, it shouldn't be a problem for them to ask her for help.

So one day, unable to resist, she discussed with Wang Jingqian's parents-in-law about getting in touch with Linlang.
