Yuan Hua's confidence immediately increased.

"Eh?"

Yuan Hua suddenly stopped in his tracks. What was this?

What came into view was a classic town with clean streets and a beautiful environment. Everyone was wearing thick fur coats, except for Yuan Hua, who was wearing a hoodie, which made him seem a bit out of place.

What the heck? A luxury retirement resort hidden in a secluded grove?

"???"

Yuan Hua, like a country bumpkin fresh out of school, walked into this small village—no, this town…

"To get rich, start by cutting down trees!"

"Don't miss out! The proprietress's sister-in-law ran off with her brother-in-law! Everything's on clearance sale!"

"Loss price! All items at rock-bottom prices, no bargaining, this is the lowest price already, we'll be selling off the building once it's gone!"

"???"

Yuan Hua had a strange feeling that he had traveled back in time.

"What's the name of this village again?"

Yuan Hua glanced down at the map number 1 in his hand.

Iron Bucket Town?

"How did you manage to obtain this kind of name for export?"

Yuan Hua reluctantly put the map away...

We've seen so many unreasonable things that we're used to them now.

What else can we do but accept it?

"Hey! Young man! You have to be strong!"

An uncle on the roadside shouted at Yuan Hua!

"I?"

Yuan Hua pointed to his face, puzzled.

"Yes, it's you!"

The older man gave Yuan Hua a thumbs up.

“Being poor is fine, at least you can get an extra burlap sack. You can’t dress so lightly in this cold weather just to look like a gentleman. Here, being poor is not shameful, freezing to death is what’s truly pitiful.”

"Uh……"

Yuan Hua scratched his head awkwardly...

He had originally thought that this outfit would be fashionable enough, and that many people would envy him if it were to be seen. He had intended to dress like a young master, but instead, he was mistaken for a beggar.

[“Why don’t you wear a fur coat? It seems like everyone here has one. If you don’t wear one, people will easily see you as an oddball.”]

I gave a brief reminder about the appropriateness of ascension.

"I'd look like a brown bear wrapped in a fur coat, no way! I'm already not tall enough, and the fur is so heavy, what if it crushes my slender 'delicate body'?"

Yuan Hua looked down and saw three little kids wrapped in fur coats, looking like balls, running right past him. His heart and body both rejected and resisted them...

"Oh, so you call yourself a delicate body? How dare you say that."

The voice that soared upwards carried a hint of mockery, but in the next second, a fur coat appeared out of thin air and was draped over Yuan Hua's back.

"Stop talking nonsense. Just put it on. Is it fun to be looked at like a monster?"

Logically speaking, girls with foul mouths are hard to like, but Feisheng's behavior of verbally attacking you while simultaneously doing something contradictory is genuinely adorable.

"I understand, I'll wear it then."

Yuan Hua wrapped his clothes tighter around himself and strode into the center of the village.

The uncle who had just encouraged Yuan Hua was speechless with shock when Yuan Hua conjured a coat out of thin air...

After a long while, the uncle turned his head to look at the house behind him.

"Honey! It seems a magician has come to the village!"

"what?"

An old hag came out and looked around...

"Where? Where? Hurry up, take our son to the magician and see if he has the potential to learn magic!"

After saying that, the old woman dragged out a silly boy who was picking his nose.

"left already."

The middle-aged man blinked and froze on the spot...

"Hurry up and find it!"

The old woman yelled angrily, then pushed her mentally challenged son into the old man's arms...

……

"This place seems even richer than the royal city of Doronro..."

Yuan Hua pushed open the door and walked into the tavern. The heating array inside the tavern was still very effective, and everyone took off their coats.

“Young man, what are you saying? How can Doron compare to this place?”

The older man drinking nearby chuckled and waved to Yuan Hua.

Seeing that he had two younger sisters sitting next to him, who were quite pleasing to the eye, Yuan Hua sat down next to him and casually tossed her coat aside.

"Are you from out of town?"

The older brother looked at Yuan Hua's face.

"You're definitely not a local."

"I am not."

Yuan Hua did not refute.

"So you're here to do business?"

Seeing that Yuan Hua had nothing in his hands, the older brother couldn't quite make a judgment for a moment.

"I am a traveler, or rather, an adventurer."

"Oh, okay! I understand..."

Chapter 265 The "Heaven-Defying" Village Chief

The older brother immediately understood.

"I have admired you for a long time."

"What do you mean by 'I've heard so much about you'? I'm not famous at all."

Yuan Hua shook his head, then realized something was wrong...

"Wait, the phrase 'I've long admired you' is only used in China, right?"

Westerners aren't so humble; the phrase "I've long admired you" coming here carries a somewhat suggestive connotation.

"Haha, our village chief is from China."

The older brother examined the younger sister's (body) and then waved to the waiter.

"Waiter, come on, a few more bottles of spirits. This young man's bill can be on my tab."

"Uh, no thanks. I don't drink much. I'll just get some hot milk."

Yuan Hua waved his hands repeatedly...

He has a very low alcohol tolerance and doesn't even dare to drink too much. He still remembers the time he went out drinking with his college roommates before he traveled back in time and got so drunk that he ended up bending over a trash can.

And those things like hugging a big tree and singing "Conquer" are definitely embarrassing moments in my past; I don't want to scare people.

"Tsk, that's true, you don't look that old."

The man turned to look at the waiter.

"The wine will still be served! And a cup of hot milk for this little brother!"

"..."

There's really no need for you to use words like "little brother"...

"Excuse me, why is such a cozy village called Iron Bucket Village?"

Yuan Hua had a strange feeling that he was like Li Shimin in some novels, who had gone on an incognito visit to a shop and then started... uh... ruling from behind the curtain?

"Idiot, that's not how you use the term 'ruling from behind the curtain'."

Ascension angrily rebuked...

"Who cares, as long as it's good enough."

Yuan Hua didn't care.

"That's way off! You only learned 'abba aba' in four years of university, right?"

Ascension was inexplicably exhausting. Yuan Hua's intelligence fluctuated wildly, and right now, Yuan Hua was like someone with a mental disability.

"Tietong Village? Oh, you mean the name of the village?"

The man then remembered that Iron Bucket Village was the name of the village.

"The village chief said this is more down-to-earth. We don't really care. The village chief has the final say. After all, he's the one who helped us make money. As for the name, let him decide. Anyway, we're making just as much money."

"Is it possible that if you choose a more prestigious name, more businessmen will notice this place, and then you can become extremely wealthy and reach the pinnacle of life?"

Yuan Hua tentatively inquired...

"What you said makes some sense..."

The older brother pondered for a moment...
