Poverty Alleviation Princess

Bandits and ninjas are certainly no match for Hive.

After all, honeycomb is a precious sweet raw material and the foundation of the 'sweet shop'.As for bandits and ninjas, they can't create any economic value for themselves, except handing them over to Konoha, to see if they can be exchanged for rewards and the like...

no, wait.

A Yuan looked up at the treetops that were beginning to turn yellow.

Maybe it can still create a little bit of value.

Maou Maoe naturally believed in Mr. Madara's fighting power.Coupled with the side of Ms. Yuan just now, he is still a little timid now, and he dare not go against her wishes, so he obediently drives his worms to find the hive.

Although it can be done by other ninjas, the oil girl clan has its own special advantages compared with other ninja clans in this respect.

They can drive bugs, so that whether it is exploring or picking, it will be safer and more efficient.

If the two hives are not far away, he can even drive two groups of bugs to pick them at the same time, and he can manipulate the bugs to expel the bees in a safe area.

One hive, another hive.

After walking for a long time, they harvested three hives of different sizes.

Seeing the oil girl Mao manipulate the insects to put the honeycomb into the jar, she not only sighed with emotion the advantage of the oil girl clan in this respect.

It's so convenient.

"so good."

She couldn't help sighing.

"what's good?"

Aurome Mao, who directed the bugs to put the honeycomb into the jar, heard it and asked curiously.

"The ninjutsu you use really has a unique advantage in collecting honey." A Yuan really thinks it is very convenient, "No, not only in collecting honey, but also in field picking. "

Many rare plants and the like will be on the cliffs.No matter how skilled a person is, it is inevitable that they will miss the danger, but the bug is different.It can solve security problems to the greatest extent.

Of course, this does not mean that it is perfect. People may choke to death if they drink water, and it is not impossible to be killed by falling objects outside, bitten by poisonous snakes, stepped into swamps and drowned. In fact, it is already the greatest degree of liberation of artificial intelligence to ensure the safety of life.

"Is that so?" Yume Mao blinked, it was the first time he discovered that the secret arts of his own family could be viewed from this angle.

Usually, when mentioning oil girls, most of them think that their secret arts are very special and comprehensive—such as espionage, poisoning and detoxification, or battlefield interference, and defense with insect shells.

At the same time, rumors of 'monsters' were born.

Because it is different from other families' blood inheritance limit and secret art, the oil girl family realizes all the above functions by making the body a nest of parasites and nourishing the insects with chakra.

Although there is no high or low level of ninjutsu, the oil girl clan is often alienated because of the secret technique.Of course, they would not try to curry favor with these ninjas who rejected them. Over time, the oil girl clan became famous as "lone rangers".

Anyway, using bugs, I can do everything myself, without any obvious shortcomings, so naturally I don't need my teammates to make up for the shortcomings.

Of course, one of the reasons is that I don't want to see the disgusting eyes of others when they see me using ninjutsu.Although they are not obvious, but everyone is a ninja, how could they not notice it?

"Don't you think it's scary?"

He couldn't help asking.

A Yuan was silent for a while: "To be honest, it's quite scary to see it suddenly."

Saying a little bit doesn't feel as deceiving as it was then, after all, it is full of bugs.

It is inevitable that people will recall all kinds of horror movies related to bugs.

Like Alien, like The Mummy Returns and stuff like that.

Of course, she can also directly say 'it's not scary' against her will, but Ah Yuan doesn't want to lie to this 'new friend'.

"But I think being capable is more important than being scary." She walked up to pat the jar containing the hive. "Look, because of their hard work, we have harvested so much honey safely, isn't it great? From this point of view, their cuteness is more than scary."

"Compared with appearance, I think ability is more important. Just because you can collect honey efficiently and safely, I think you are better than many ninjas."

Maou Maou was even more confused.

"I'm good?"

He really thinks that the oil girl clan he was born in is very powerful, but that is his judgment based on his understanding of other ninja clans and fighting against them. Why does Miss Yuan think so?

"Think about it, ninjas who can kill | people and set fire are everywhere, and there are not a few ninjas who can destroy a street or even a city. But there are very few ninjas who can create value?"

"Create value?"

"Yes, killing|killing people or destroying cities is all about destruction. Except for one party winning, other people and forces cannot benefit from it, nor can they create happiness."

"The loser loses their relatives and men, and loses the streets and fields that can be profitable. The ordinary people who are involved may have their homes destroyed. Even for ninjas, it is not a good thing. Whether they are victorious or defeated, As long as there is a battle, the ninja will inevitably suffer casualties. This result, except for the winning client, no one can laugh, right?"

"..."

Yume Mao didn't answer, but he knew that Miss Yuan was right.

"But the honey you picked can be made into all kinds of delicious sweets. It can make money for me who runs the store, and it can make the shop assistants hired by me get income that can support their families. It can also make people who love sweets She showed a satisfied smile when she ate delicious sweets." A Yuan turned around and opened her arms to Yume Mao, "In this way, it not only creates value, but also brings happiness, isn't it amazing something?"

"This……"

"Can you do such a thing, do you still think you are not good?"

The young man who always wrapped himself up tightly was stunned.

He never thought about such a thing, and it can even be said that he didn't know that there was such a view until today.

But at this moment, he was indeed moved.

In the past, he didn't feel that he was living in darkness, but looking at the girl standing under the light today, he felt the warmth of the light—it was a completely different existence from what he was used to in the past.

If it's really what she said.

If it can really become like this.Then I will be very happy.

he thinks.

That must be the level of wanting to collect all the honeycombs in the world.

"Is this really possible?"

"Of course...Although there may be problems such as high operating costs, difficult to promote the market, and difficult preservation of sweets, but in terms of results."

The girl smiled affirmatively.

"I think it's going to be much better than before."

"That's right, that's right." As if thinking of something, the girl suddenly waved to him. "Actually, the Uchihas are mostly sweet."

!! ?

There is such a thing?

Yume Mao opened her eyes wide.

"Although not all of them, most of them have this tendency." Yuan happily 'leaked the secret', "So I'm considering whether to use Uchiha for publicity."

Maou Mao swallowed her saliva: "Wh, what propaganda?"

"Look, most of the Uchihas are pretty good-looking, right? They have big eyes, pointed chins, and fair skin." A Yuan made a gesture, "So I'm thinking about promoting it to the outside world. Uchihas like to eat sweets, so they are strong. It’s also good-looking, so it may attract many people who want to become stronger and more beautiful to try.”

"???"

Can you do this?

No, why do you even dare to fight Uchiha's idea! ?

"That's Uchiha!"

"It's only because it's Uchiha. If it's a little-known ninja, no one will care about such rumors, right?"

Ninjas are very realistic. Between strength and beauty, they must choose to be strong, but if they are strong themselves, of course it is better to look good.

"..."

Yume Mao didn't know how to react.

"cough."

And compared to him, there was another person who was more helpless.

That is Uchiha Madara who packed up the bandits and ninjas, and led a string of captives who were brought alive according to Yuan's request.

In fact, he has been here since the very beginning, but he just didn't want to come out and interrupt seeing A Yuan talking so happily about the other future that ninjas can have.But when he heard Uchiha here, he felt that he couldn't do it unless he came out.

Let her go on like this, maybe the impression of the whole Uchiha clan will become strange.

"You're back, thanks for your hard work."

Noticing Madara's light cough, Yuan turned his head and waved his hand.

"These are all the captives."

He pointed to the group of people with bruised noses and swollen faces standing beside him.

The men who used to show off their might are now all well-behaved like frightened quails. Although some were seriously injured (the ones who were beaten at the beginning) and were carried on their backs, none of them survived.

Although they felt that they might not be able to put up any decent resistance...but Aurome Mao still tied up those who were seriously injured as usual just in case.

He didn't know why Miss Yuan wanted to live, but since she kept her life alive, they couldn't let them cause trouble again.

Maou Mao tied up the people, and A Yuan went to the other bandits who only had some flesh wounds, which did not affect their work, and patted their chins to size them up.

Those eyes, which seemed to be weighing something, made several tall and strong men shudder.

Obviously she is just a white and tender girl, and obviously her side is taller and stronger than her, usually it would be easy for one to beat her and three, but now she can only tremble slightly under the scrutiny of the other party.

It seems that they are the poor little ones who have no power to restrain the chicken and let others slaughter them.

A Yuan naturally also discovered their fear.But she didn't care. After all, she didn't want to call them brothers and sisters and save their lives. It just suddenly occurred to her that there was still a place where they could be used.

After confirming that a circle of Madara was really well-measured, and that all these people were in good condition and could continue to work, A Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and waved to the bandit headed by him—the one with the huge ax before, A man who looked extraordinarily strong.

The man who was greeted was about to cry, and he tried to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying: "You, what do you want?"

"When I came, I found that many fruits were ripening on the road."

This is something she didn't notice at first.When she came here, except for the honey she was thinking about, all she could think about was how to incite merchants after she arrived in the city, and how to sell Konoha without other channels and helpers.Didn't even notice the fruits hanging on the trees.

But now that she noticed it, she couldn't let it go.

You must know that when she first started rebuilding Huiye City, she relied on these gifts of nature to survive the most difficult first year.Although this place is not near Huiye City, since we can see one plant, we can fish out a lot more in the whole forest.

"That's why I want you to help me pick some baskets of chestnuts."

The leader who was called out took a quick look at his breath before he stumbled and said, "Chestnut, chestnut?"

"Yes, chestnuts. I saw a few chestnut trees along the way, and now it's time for chestnuts to mature. If you look hard, you should be able to find quite a few." She looked at the man in front of her with a smile.

Although a basket of chestnuts is not light, such a strong man can definitely carry it.

Because she didn't know the specific situation of this forest, she didn't plan to set a task quota for them.Just thinking about how much you can pick.

She looked at the baskets containing the jars, and then at these strong men who were extra nervous for some reason, worried that they would lose their breath because of being too nervous, and smiled specially, wanting to say a few words of comfort: "If there are not enough chestnuts... ..."

Before A Yuan could finish speaking, the prisoners started talking again.The burly man who was facing Ah Yuan fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed and promised: "There will never be enough! We will go all over the forest and we will definitely pick you all the chestnuts you want! We can do it! No problem! Please give us this chance!"

A Yuan: "..."

She actually wanted to say that it doesn't matter if there are not enough chestnuts.Originally, it was selling and buying without money, and the raw materials that came for free were earned for nothing. Besides, they were not planted by her in the first place, and the things that grew wild in the forest could not be forced to quantity.

But the other party's words have reached this point, and she seems to have no reason to refuse?

So she smiled and signaled Madara to untie them.

"Then you take them to pick chestnuts, these baskets are for you to store chestnuts."

She casually pointed to the baskets hanging on the donkey—those were originally used to hold jars to prevent the jars of honey from breaking, but now it seemed that they could just be used to hold chestnuts for them.

Kill two birds with one stone, great harvest.

The bandit headed obediently got up and led his men to carefully pick off the baskets and leave.They walked madly all the way, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they could no longer see the man and woman who looked like demons to them.

One of them looked around for a long time, and after confirming that there were really no other figures around, he suggested in a low voice: "Why don't we run away now."

"What about the few people who are still tied under the tree? We..."

Those few were the ones who were knocked out at the beginning, and they were the most seriously injured, and they were tied under the tree by Maou Maov when they couldn't be used.

Before he finished speaking, the person next to him immediately shouted excitedly: "Whatever they are doing, what we are thinking about now is how we can escape from that female demon - if you want to go back, you can go by yourself, anyway, I Don't go any further."

"Shut up! You idiots!"

The bandit in the lead couldn't listen anymore.

"Have you not seen it yet? She did it on purpose! What are you looking for chestnuts for? Can someone who can spend so much money in the city and hire ninjas of that level be short of chestnuts? She is deliberately testing us ! Test whether we will escape!"

The more the leading bandit talked, the more he felt that his guess was correct.

"Maybe that demonic ninja is following us and looking at us now. Such a powerful ninja, as long as he thinks, we won't even notice his existence."

"Once we showed signs of trying to escape, he would appear like a ghost and cut our necks." He said, gesturing on his own neck, "Like this!"

"so!"

He emphasized it forcefully.

As a bandit, he also dealt with ninjas.

Even the first bandit group he joined was wiped out by ninjas.

So he was very impressed with ninjas, especially powerful ninjas.When the bandit group was wiped out, several ninjas went up together, but today this ninja can knock down dozens of people including the ninjas alone, especially in this one-to-many situation, According to the request of the female demon, no one was killed.

How strong and confident does it have to be to do it?

And the murderous aura on him just now.

It was definitely formed after countless fights and killing hundreds of people.It's completely different from bandits who can only bully and bully villagers, and rob passing caravans and bully ninjas.

His expression was so ferocious that several people around him shivered involuntarily, as if they really felt a burst of cold air blowing over their necks, as if they really felt a pair of eyes behind them in the bushes, looking at him. Staring at himself in the dark.

He could rush out at any moment and tear himself apart.

"See these baskets? Do you think she really wants us to use these baskets to carry chestnuts back? No, these are for our starving corpses! Once we escape, the ninja can use these after he kills us Put our corpses back in the basket and return to life, otherwise how could we just have one for each of us? It's all her tricks!"

At the end, he deliberately lowered his voice.

"Don't forget the aura she showed before! How can it be that ordinary girls can have?"

"Then, what should we do then?" The bandit who was frightened by his words asked hastily.

"Do as she says, as long as you are obedient, as long as she has orders for us, it proves that we are still useful, even if it is for fun, at least we can still live—so no matter how incredible orders she makes, We all have to come down and do well.”

He swallowed his saliva, his expression extremely dignified:

"There must be no excuses for her to kill us."

The more the bandit leader thought about it, the more frightened he became.Even the gentle appearance of the girl in memory was cast a shadow.Maybe this harmless and gentle appearance is just a disguise from her.The purpose is to deceive the world and make people relax.

Terrible, really terrible.

When did such a female devil come to this land?

It's a shame they didn't know about it before, otherwise they wouldn't have fallen to where they are today.

Alas, they should have known earlier, if it was just a weak woman, how dare she come out to do business alone, and still act so flamboyantly?

Of course it's because she has enough cards to rely on.

They are so stupid.

"..."

Aurome Mao, who found that they had missed a basket and chased after her, was almost persuaded by the analysis of these people for a moment.After all, if you put aside all kinds of premises and just look at what happened today, it's really hard not to make people think too much.

Especially the aura that erupted from Miss Yuan at that moment, even as a ninja, he almost wanted to kneel down. That is definitely not something that ordinary girls or even ordinary nobles can have. I am afraid that even the name of a small country may not be guaranteed. There will be.

Analyzing it from this angle, I feel that Ms. Yuan's 'great background' and 'deliberately pretending' seem to be correct...

But thinking of the contacts they had made during this period of time, and Miss Yuan's happy look just counting the windfall with her fingers, I felt that they were thinking too much.

She is really thinking about the dessert shop, and she puts the business of running the sweet shop as the top priority.As for the chestnut matter, it was because I happened to see it when I walked over that I had an idea.

As for the people in front of them, they were probably just the labor force that happened to bump into their hands.

After all, when a person dies, there is nothing left.

Although it's not bad for her, it's not good either - on the contrary, if they are alive, they can pick more chestnuts to create... create a little value?

But there is nothing wrong with these people thinking so.

Yume Mao hides her figure, manipulates the insects to silently put the forgotten basket beside them, and then looks at them shrinking together in fright from the silent extra basket, muttering and reaffirming herself He nodded in satisfaction from his previous guess.

So fine.

Fear can indeed make people lose control, but most of the time it only makes people more obedient.In this way, Miss Yuan no longer has to think about how to control these people.

Just let them keep scaring themselves like this.

Yume Mao suddenly laughed as she walked.

As if realizing that his smile was a bit exaggerated, he hid it in the collar that stood up.

He rarely smiles like this.In other words, the entire oily girl clan is not someone who can clearly express emotions with expressions.Hiding in the shadows, hiding their faces behind their collars, accepting tasks quietly, and completing tasks quietly are their consistent characteristics.

But he just wanted to laugh today.

And not just today.

He also wants to be able to do things with a smile, to do many things, and to do things that make others happy, as he is now.

If so, he would spend his entire life looking for beehives in forests all over the world.
