Earth’s Best Gamer

Chapter 194: The Player from Guan City Is a Competitor?

“Right, her name is Han Meimei. She was a panda caretaker before she entered the Land of Inheritance!”

After recalling the girl’s information, Mister Bug said.

Being a panda caretaker seemed like a profession that did not have too many competitors.

After all, due to their picky nature, there weren’t many pandas in total.

However, panda caretakers didn’t have as many advantages as one might think.

It was because the fewer people there were in a trade, the smaller their headcount to enter the Land of Inheritance would be.

On the other hand, although they took care of pandas, which were special animals, they must’ve competed with the caretakers of other animals according to the statistics of the confederate government.

Despite all the unfavorable circumstances, the panda girl was in the first batch to enter the Land of Inheritance. She must’ve been a real professional.

Of course, it was not really a surprise that she was more professional than the caretakers of other animals.

That’s because of all the animal caretakers, those who looked after pandas were the only people who must be graduates of renowned universities to get the job.

“Speaking of which, in the first batch of streamers, this ‘Miss Panda’ is the only one who’s plain-looking yet highly popular.”

Mister Bug revealed something else.

Ji Ye didn’t start streaming until the phase of settlement quests, so he was technically in the second batch and not as famous as Miss Panda.

The popularity of the first batch of streamers was highly dependent on their look. For example, Laser Man, the first streamer of Chidragon, was not even among the ten most popular people in the country despite his extraordinary strength just because he was bad-looking.

Miss Panda was the only exception.

It was because people were following her mostly because of the panda that was with her.

Under such circumstances, a plain look actually gave her an edge, because other women wouldn’t be jealous of her at all!

However, Ji Ye actually focused most of his attention on the girl in green.

She didn’t seem to be a player; she was more like a hero that belonged to this world or came with Miss Panda. She was almost as stunningly beautiful as Little Dragon Maiden!

More importantly, Ji Ye had a weird feeling that he knew her even though he had never met her before.

“Where is their settlement?” asked Ji Ye.

“It’s in a village on Mount Emei. Their settlement core is a Daoist Temple on the surface. It’s rather similar to our settlement core!”

Mister Bug knew it quite well.

It wasn’t very surprising. Since the first batch of players got offline, the information about the settlements had been spread on the forum.

As the first player to be streamed in the southern western province, Han Meimei had attracted even more attention to her settlement than what the Twin Dragon Mount fort had received.

After all, the Twin Dragon Mount fort was only famous because of the Water Margin heroes, and Yang City was only a fourth-tier city anyway.

Miss Panda was the first person to be streamed in the southwestern province, and her settlement was undoubtedly the best settlement of Guan City!

As the provincial capital which took up forty percent of the province’s GDP, Guan City was home to half of the elites, specialists, and senior researchers of the entire province.

Miss Panda’s settlement had been avidly supported by the Confederation Office of Guan City, which was an advantage that the Twin Dragon Mount fort, which had largely developed on its own, never had.

“Isn’t Emei one of the Four Famous Buddhist Mountains? Why is there a Daoist Temple on it?” asked An Quan in confusion.

“While Samantabhadra is enshrined on Emei nowadays, it had honored both Buddhism and Daoist in the past.

“Actually, ever since the real Daoist was created on Mount Heming in the East Han Dynasty, Mount Emei has always been an important place to the Daoists. It’s even listed as the seventh paradise out of the Daoists’ 36 Paradises!”

Chu Yin said.

All the players were from the southwestern province.

They might not know the famous scenic spots in other provinces and countries, but they all knew this one, which was in their own province, rather well.

Speaking of which, although they were both mountains, Mount Emei was clearly much more famous than Twin Dragon Mount.

At least, eight out of ten natives of Chidragon had heard it before.

Also, Mount Emei had appeared in many famous books, movies, and games.

It meant that a lot of heroes would be connected to it. Although it was just a village, it definitely had huge potential. No wonder the Confederation Office of Guan City supported it so vehemently.

But everything had two sides. Having enjoyed the support of resources from the Confederation Office, the settlement might not be able to control its own development.

Also, according to Mister Bug, Miss Panda’s settlement was in the settlement of a religious sect, so it couldn’t welcome the heroes in history like the Twin Dragon Mount fort could. They would probably have to practice martial arts and persist in the path of cultivation.

In addition, because the level of the settlement was still low, certain famous heroes, such as “Guo Xiang”, who had a projection in this world, couldn’t be summoned yet.

The natives of her settlement were probably the Extraordinary elders and the talented disciples of the Emei Sect, which wasn’t very notable in the famous books.

“Master Ji, this is my wife, Long’er, that I told you about before!”

At this moment, Yang Guo had already come to Ji Ye with the other two girls as well as the panda that was still having the bun while holding Little Dragon Maiden’s head.

“Thank you for treating Guo’er’s arm!”

Little Dragon Maiden bowed at Ji Ye gracefully.

Having grown up in a tomb all by herself, she didn’t know much social protocol, but she had picked up a lot of things after everything she went through.

“This is Miss Han, and this is Miss Zhou. Both of them are from Mount Emei. They’re also on their way to Xiangyang to resist Yuan. They rescued Long’er by chance when they passed the Heartless Valley.

“Then, they took her all the way here to find me. They ran into the Divine Condor outside of the valley and followed it here!”

Yang Guo introduced the other girls to Ji Ye gratefully.

“Miss Zhou?”

Looking at the girl in green who was likely to be a hero, Ji Ye suddenly changed his expression.

“Ladies, this is Master Ji from the Twin Dragon Mount fort, and they are Miss Wu, Miss Chu, Miss Nie…”

Then, Yang Guo introduced the people of the Twin Dragon Mount fort to the visitors from Emei.

“I didn’t know that you went to the Twin Dragon Mount fort!”

Miss Panda’s eyes wandered between Ji Ye and Nie Xiaoqian, before she looked at Wu Qiao with surprise on her chubby face.

“Miss Wu, do you know each other?” Yang Guo asked in surprise.

“Yes!”

The two girls replied at the same time.

They did know each other.

After all, while Guan City had more players than Yang City, not many of them had acquired a talent skill in the beta test, and even fewer of them were females.

Also, judging from Wu Qiao’s reaction, the two of them must’ve been quite close.

“Ah! Miss Long, you have come to visit the Hundred Flowers Valley too?”

“Ms. Long!”

At this moment, the Old Kid and Reverend Yideng walked out of the valley.

Both of them knew Little Dragon Maiden. They greeted each other warmly.

“This isn’t a place to receive guests. Let’s talk inside!”

Seeing that, Ji Ye said to Miss Panda.

“That’s right, Miss Long. My ‘wife’ is in the valley too. I will ask her to make steamed mushrooms with honey for you!”

Waving a mushroom that was covered in honey, Zhou Botong declared with obvious pride.

Crack!

The panda, which had been standing on two legs, upon hearing “honey”, immediately widened its glittering eyes that were hidden in the dark circles.
