"This…" Mark saw seventeen notifications appear one after another. When he realized that the total is added up to 500 gold coins, he concluded that Lin Xue come to the store and bought from Allen.
"Allen opened the store on his own and is operating it without taking my permission? What's going on?" He didn't understand the situation properly. It was only after consulting with the system, Mark finally realized that Allen no longer needed supervision.
"And that would mean I can expand the store in different cities." Mark thought of his earlier plan again. He decided to think about the store's future after the return.
Nearly five hours later, dozens of tents appeared in Mark's view after reaching an elevated spot. The entire land appeared to be barren without a single blade of grass. Behind them also lie a couple of barren hills, covering the sight of the portal.
The horses walking in front of him stopped. The leader and the only four-realm expert of the group, Gu Zemin turned his head and spoke in a bit of harsh tone as if he is in a bad mood, "Hey, you… Lu Wen…"
"Lu Zhen," Mark corrected him.
"Lu Wen or Lu Zhen, whatever. We are here and our job is done." Gu Zemin told Mark that he's on his own and further gave a friendly warning that he can't expect anyone here to save him if the situation worsens.
Mark naturally didn't like his tone but since he had done a favor of showing the way and even escorted him all the way to this place, Mark forgave him and get down from the donkey, and started walking towards the camping ground in a different direction from them.
Where he was going in the kitchens where cooks are busy preparing lunch for the people who came to save the region from the beasts. There are a few soldiers on standby to ensure no disturbance to the chefs.
"Stop, right there," As expected, one of them stopped Mark and his donkey. The remaining two soldiers also took a glimpse at him. Surprisingly, they cannot sense any ether inside him.
Mark stepped aside from the donkey, "I'm here to contribute on my part. There are hundreds of people around and it must be very difficult to procure the meat. You can take this. I hope it will be edible."
In the past week, Mark wasn't the first one to provide the animals but still, it is rare to see a voluntary contribution during such situations.

"Who do you work for?" A soldier questioned in curiosity. In the camping grounds, only cooks, cleaners, or servants to the nobles are seen not having ether. So, he wondered which minor or major noble clan member sent it. Considering Mark is wearing good quality clothes, they have no doubt that Mark gets good pay.
"My name is Lu Zhen and I'm from Imperial city." Mark introduced himself with a smile. "Due to personal situation, I came to Dongchuan and heard about the dungeon break. So, I made a visit here. It's not every day that I get to see so many Spirit Warriors in action, right?"
The soldiers were taken aback by his explanation and looked at him as if he was crazy or something.
