Ryu scratched his head. He was not used to being praised like this, and it made him feel a bit embarrassed. "Don't worry about it. Now that everything is settled I will head out and try to find workers."

"Wait! Here go to this address with this note. The people there will help you at a discounted rate." The Village Lord quickly wrote out a note and sealed it with a wax insignia, and handed it to Ryu. "I wish you luck with your new properties. "

"Thanks." Ryu took the letter and left the Village Lord's house. As he opened the gate and exited it, he was suddenly run into by someone.

"Ouch!" A cat girl cried out as she fell to the ground.

Ryu, who was still standing, looked at the cat girl, who seemed to be a new player, and leaned down to help her up. "You alright?"

The cat girl looked at the smile on Ryu's face, and her entire head turned red. She looked at the hand that was out stretched towards her and hesitantly reached out to take it. "Tha-Thank you... I am fine.."

"That's good. You should be careful running around. Not everyone here is kind. One thing to remember about this game is that it has its own set of laws. For a cute girl like you, if you're not careful, someone might snatch you up and lock you away. Although the devs press charges on the people in real life for such actions, it still happens just like if this was the real world." Ryu could tell the girl was new to the game, and if she ran into the wrong person, they might have unkind thoughts towards a cute girl like her.

"I-I will keep that in mind." The cat girl replied. She was still holding on to Ryu's hand as she got up, not wanting to let go.

Ryu was starting to feel uncomfortable. He tried to pull his hand away a few times now, only for the girl's grip to tighten. Getting a little bit annoyed, Ryu finally couldn't take it anymore: "Ummm... You can let go now."

"Ah! Sorry… I just..." The cat girl lowered her head in embarrassment.

"It's fine. You should be careful from now on. I have to get going. Take care." Ryu said his goodbyes, and before the cat girl could say anything, he was already walking away.

"Miss!" Yuyu came running up to her miss, who seemed to be standing there in a daze. "Miss, are you okay? Your face is very red right now."

"Huh?" Beauty turned and looked at Yuyu, still in a daze, and then to Yuyu's surprise, Beauty lifted her own hand, the same hand that held the handsome man's hand, to her nose and sniffed it. "Yuyu, I must have that man!"

"Umm, okay? But Miss, what if he is a fat person in real life?" Yuyu asked.

"What does real life have to do with anything? Did you not tell me that sex was possible in game? If I do not know what he looks like in real life, everything will be fine. Right now, that man is the only one for me, even if it is only in game!" Beauty was being very serious as she said this. She only wanted that man.

Yuyu stared at her miss and began to wonder if her miss suffered some kind of brain trauma recently. Her miss has never acted like this before. And as Yuyu had no real knowledge when it came to love, she did not really understand her miss at all. But this now made her wonder if her nightly tasks would no longer be needed… She wasn't sure if she was happy or not about this matter…

Yuyu only knew her miss was nicer to her than most because she was the one who attended to her at night. Otherwise, her miss would not feel as close to her as she did with the other maids who cared for her. She knew if she lost her miss's favor for being her favorite maid, then she would definitely not live a good life as a maid under her miss. "Miss, what should we do next?"

"For now, we follow him!" Beauty could still see Ryu's back not too far off. He seemed to be walking in a leisurely manner. To her, it was as if Ryu was deliberately walking at a slow pace in order for Beauty to catch up to him. Although this was definitely not the case, in Beauty's mind, this was something that was already locked in stone and was nothing going to tell Beauty otherwise.

But the truth was far from the reality that Beauty had in her own mind. Ryu was walking slowly because he was chatting with Chi. "So the Village Lord gave me a letter of recommendation to send over to these guys."

"Hopefully, you can get some unique designs that will stand out amongst the rest. The workers here have already gotten started. The dungeon is almost complete already." Chi was surprised at how fast these people worked. But some were actually using earth magic to help speed up the process.

"That's good to hear. I will go talk to these guys and get the properties going. As for the shops, we can work out what to do with them when we have remodeled them. I am not too concerned about them just yet. But I think I might talk to the village lord in Roland and see if I can buy a shop there as well. Can make Heavenly Crafts shops in every place we visit." Ryu's idea was to build up a chain of stores and hire NPCs to run them. That way, the guild members could sell their lower quality goods that might not sell well on the marketplace for a lower price without needing to pay any marketplace fees.

"That sounds good as well. You said early you plan to start recruitment, right? We should recruit as many crafters as possible now that we have so many free crafting stations they can use." Chi felt that Ryu's plans were very good and would attract a lot of players. This meant that they could quickly build up the crafting portion of their guild so Ryu and her would not need to work so hard. Once crafters were secured the rest would follow.

"Yeah these were my thoughts as well. I will go get things settled. We will meet up once I finish up here." Ryu finished his conversation with Chi when he heard a soft voice call out from behind him.

"Umm… Sir..."
