Chapter 109 Black Witch

Before Zhou Yu even know what to do with the stalker, Tian Niang, Uncle Guan Er, and Browning, those three farmers rushed to him with anxious faces, nervously reporting that the farm had encountered a disaster.

Problems were coming one after another.

Running to the vegetable farm, it was a really messy scene. A large group of little soldiers wearing black clothes, with the word “death” written on their chests, were wreaking havoc everywhere on the farm. Those little soldiers looked like the microorganisms from Moyasimon: Tales of Agriculture.(Note) However, no matter how cute they were, they must be eliminated quickly. Because all the vegetables that were attacked by the black soldiers gradually darkened and withered. If he could not come up with a plan soon, the small farm would fall into ruin.

Jack Mouse just glanced at it and said, “Black Death Soldier, this is the black witch’s specialty. Bubu, check the area in the sky, that damn witch must be hiding nearby.”

Black Death Soldier belonged to the undead. No matter how they defeated them, they would respawn again. So the direct attack would be ineffective. The only way to deal with it was to find out the black witch, who was controlling them, cutting off the mana supply, then the Black Death Soldiers would naturally disappear.

The black witch was much more difficult to deal with than the stalker. Bubu had been wheeling in the sky for a few circles already, but it still had not found the black witch. It seemed that it was very difficult for these adventurers to solve this disaster in a short time. It was a shame that although the three masters were strong, they were not good at tracking. So when they encountered the enemy who was good at hiding, they would not be able to do anything.

At this time, it seemed necessary to build a prison.

Perhaps it was because they caught a stalker, a new building appeared in the vending machine – prison. There are two functions of prison: one is to reform criminals through labor, and the other is to arrest criminals. Reform through labor is a function that can be activated without any conditions, but arresting criminals requires bounty hunters. Every bounty hunter has a tracking skill called – Hound, and the higher the level is, the stronger the ability is. It’s very suitable for this situation.

There are two ways to acquire bounty hunters. One is to use Moe Coins to summon them, but they don’t need any salary. They only live on the rewards of arresting criminals. The other is to raise one himself. Any adventurers can be transferred to bounty Hunters, and after the transfer, they would automatically acquire the tracking skill.

The lifestyle of bounty hunters is really suitable for Firefly, but Zhou Yu still needs to ask if she is willing to transfer or not.

“Arresting criminals? Hurry up and transfer me, old man. I’ll be the best bounty hunter in the world! That farm destroyer will be my first prey!”

Firefly’s attitude was very resolute. She said that she wanted to help the family. But Zhou Yu didn’t think so. This wild girl was definitely thinking that pursuing criminals was very interesting. And just after Zhou Yu agreed to let the beaver start building the prison, he heard Firefly secretly whispered on the side.

“YES! I can finally get rid of this stingy old man! I can earn my own money, buy anything I like, and drink a lot without being nagged at!”

Turning back suddenly, Firefly was looking at the sky, humming a song as if she had never spoken at all.

It takes time to build a prison. So basically there was no way to save the farm now. They could only watch all the vegetables being destroyed by the Black Death soldiers. It was really a shame that those vegetables were about to mature, and the employees of the park were very fond of eating those vegetables. Now it seemed that they would need to endure for some time.

Grandpa Husan often came to the small farm. The vegetables here always looked lively and vibrant. He really didn’t know how the little boss took care of them. They all looked good and tasted good. It was truly incredible. However, when he came here today, he found that all the vegetables were withered, and the little boss was using a hoe to remove them one by one.

“What... what happened?”

Of course, it would be hard for grandpa Husan to understand what happened. With his years of farming experience, he still could not tell what kind of diseases or pests would be so fierce that it killed all the vegetables of a small farm overnight. But since it had already happened, they should clean it up thoroughly, otherwise, not only would the farm not be able to grow any vegetables, but the other small farms might also be affected by it.

However, this proposal was rejected by the little boss. He only said that it was the problem with the new batch of vegetables, there wouldn’t be any problem with the next batch. Grandpa Husan, who had no more confidence in his own experience, could only sigh and help Zhou Yu remove the vegetables that had been destroyed.

The next day, the prison was finally completed, and the little kingdom had its first building that was used to maintain order. Firefly’s wish also came true, and she became the first female bounty hunter. Her task was to catch the black witch who wantonly mutilated vegetables in the amusement park.

In order to lure the black witch out, Zhou Yu specially planted a new batch of seasonal vegetables.

At about 3 p.m., the Black death soldiers appeared once again out of thin air, screaming and rushing to the seeds that had been planted. Firefly, who had already run out of the patience, immediately activated the “hound” skill and began to search for the witch. The three masters tried their best to stop the black death soldiers from advancing. They wanted to protect as many seeds as possible before the Black Witch was found.

The Black Death Soldiers were not powerful. For the three powerful masters, defeating them was as easy as playing fruit ninja. However, the “undead” feature allowed them to respawn indefinitely. Therefore, when the three masters became exhausted, the victory would eventually be those black death soldiers.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of fireworks in the air. It was one of the standard task equipment of bounty hunters – signal flare. It meant that the black witch was found.

The black witch, whose close combat ability was extremely weak, was already defeated before the three masters arrived. The first task was completed perfectly, and Firefly was overjoyed. She dragged the black witch all the way to the prison and handed over the task to the warden for a reward.

Zhou Yu’s heart was aching. It was he who set the task, so naturally, the reward also came from him. After receiving the money for the first time, Firefly was so happy that she ran excitedly to the pub with a small bag of coins. In the past, she could only follow the old drunkard to steal from the brewery, but now she could buy drinks and drink them like other people.

Fortunately, the money didn’t flow outside. After a circle, those coins came back into his pocket again.

The stalker and the black witch were sent to the prison. Unexpectedly, the black witch was a little cute after she wore a prison uniform. Zhou Yu also wondered how she would be treated in prison.

He then looked at the information:

Black witch, specializing in the black witchcraft – summoning the Black Death Soldiers.

Has harmful effects to the vegetable of the ACG world.

Class D criminal.

She was only one level higher than the stalker, but surprisingly she was much more difficult to deal with. It made Zhou Yu wonder how bad the S-class criminals would be. It seemed that he had to level up Firefly as soon as possible. Otherwise, the amusement park would be in a mess if some high-level criminals came to visit.

Zhou Yu then watched the so-called reform through labor for several days, and found that the stalker and the black witch studied and worked on a regular basis every day. They also wrote reports and made speeches. It seemed that the ideological transformation would be very successful.

Level-one Prison can accommodate 15 criminals at the same time, but the highest level criminal can not exceed class C. Base on the class of the criminals, the time required for the reform also varies. It took a week for the stalker to complete the reform, while the Black Witch took two weeks.

Then he got two new villagers of the ACG world. The young man who liked taking pictures and videos, can be transferred to the cameraman profession; the kind-hearted white witch, can build hospitals to treat injured villagers.

Well, it’s not bad at all.
