Have You Witches Already Started a Tourism Industry?

Right, the Witch race.

In other words, it was that Witch of the Tower causing trouble again.

Since that was the case, there was no need to pay attention. Everyone went back to what they were doing.

So, even before the world consciousness's announcement had finished, many people had already silently lowered their heads and returned to their respective tasks.

After all, they had become accustomed to, numbed by, and even immune to the sight of the witches appearing in world consciousness announcements.

There was no need to pay much attention.

If there was anything worth noting for these ordinary people “struggling to survive,” it was probably that “defense value” thing.

However, they didn't care much for something they had never even heard of.

They would rather hope to wake up one day and find a random Witch potion giveaway from the Witch of the Tower on the world channel.

That, at least, would actually have something to do with them.

But just because these ordinary people didn't care didn't mean others didn't.

Especially those in similar positions to Lan Qingyou.

Chariot: “@Tower, are you there? I have something to talk to you about.”

The Sun: “@Tower, I have a little something here too.”

Justice: “What a coincidence, me too.”

High Priestess: “Hurry up and spill the beans.”

Blah blah blah...

After the world consciousness's announcement, Tarot Villa became lively once again.

No joke, this concerned the construction of an entire city, and it was something recognized by the world consciousness.

Having been in this world for over six months, everyone had more or less grasped the rules of the game.

The world consciousness was supreme, and its rewards were the best.

But the prerequisite was gaining its recognition.

With its recognition, it was like getting a gold-certified stamp of approval. In one word: effective!

Therefore...

Although they didn't know what that defense value was, there was no doubt it was something good.

The Tower: “I was just a bit busy.”

Having finally waited for Lan Qingyou's reply, everyone grew excited.

The Star: “No worries, no worries. You're done now, right? Since you're done, let's talk about that city.”

The Emperor: “Yeah, Boss Lan, tell everyone what's going on with that city called Typhon.”

The Lovers: “With advanced experience available, it's so nice to just copy the answers.”

...

The Lovers, also known as Frenna, spoke with a certain level of finesse.

Because Lan Qingyou had copied her answer like that once before.

But it didn't matter; Lan Qingyou had intended to tell them anyway, otherwise they would surely nag her in the group all day long.

The Tower: “Actually, it's nothing. I just appointed some people and set up the administrative structure for the Witch's Forest.”

The Tower: “If the magic desk hadn't prompted me, I wouldn't have even bothered with a city name. Witch's Forest sounded just fine.”

The Tower: “You have no idea how hard I had to think to come up with that city name.”

The Chariot: “Nothing... just... only... Your humblebragging has reached a new height.”

Olf wasn't the only one who couldn't stand Lan Qingyou's remarks; everyone else felt the same way.

Humblebragging?

This was clearly gloating after getting a good deal, but they couldn't even complain; they just had to take it.

Then, someone asked a more serious question.

The Magician: “@Tower, what is that defense value?”

The Tower: “Not sure. My people are currently observing it.”

In the past, Lan Qingyou would have been happy to share such information.

But now, since it involved a potential competition for population, Lan Qingyou very “skillfully” avoided the question.

The others didn't doubt her answer when they saw it.

After all, there were still many unknowns on the Kalim continent waiting to be explored; no one could guarantee that others would definitely know.

Besides, it was already good enough that Lan Qingyou explained how the announcement was triggered.

And so...

The group immediately got busy after learning they needed to build an administrative structure.

To be safe, they even asked for a copy of Lan Qingyou's appointment documents, planning to follow her lead.

Seeing the situation, Lan Qingyou had no choice but to have Diana prepare some blank documents, removing the witches' names and titles, and sent them over.

In reality, it wasn't that their cities didn't have people appointed to handle various matters.

But none were as comprehensive as the one Diana had produced.

So, after receiving the blank documents from Lan Qingyou, they immediately began to study them closely.

The results were shocking.

Good grief!

On it, you could even see a position called “Tourism Minister”!

Wait.

While many people are still struggling on the edge of survival, have you witches already started a tourism industry?

Or is it that our own city development is just too slow?

Indeed, there was a Tourism Minister in Diana's nominations, but it was likely different from what they imagined.

This “tourism” wasn't the kind of sightseeing or traveling seen on Blue Star.

Instead, it meant “searching for suitable habitats for witches while traveling.”

Lan Qingyou didn't understand it at first either, but after hearing Diana's explanation, it felt perfectly reasonable.

For some reason, with few exceptions, witches didn't really like living in crowds.

For them, unless research required it, even groups of three to five or ten would be unlikely.

Ideally, they would each find a place to hunker down, conduct experiments, and do research, living simple and happy lives.

Additionally, some research couldn't be completed within the Abandoned Land.

Thus, this department was born.

Coincidentally, there were some witches who didn't like staying in one place and enjoyed traveling around, seeing the mountains, waters, and scenery.

So Diana gave them the task of finding suitable habitats.

And so, the department came to be.

Of course, there was another important reason besides these.

Diana wanted the witches to have a plausible excuse to go to other places.

After all, with autonomous territories established, they needed a reason to live in someone else's territory.

The excuse of “conducting research” was perfect.

Everyone knew the Witch race loved research; it was completely believable.

And the reason for doing so was entirely to gather intelligence.

Indeed, among the witches living abroad were members of the Patrol Team under Nangong Lengyue's jurisdiction.

After all, the Abandoned Land was large enough and its terrain complex and varied enough to meet most of the witches' research needs.

Of course, it wasn't all Patrol Team members; some really were going to do research.

With a mix of truth and fiction, even Lan Qingyou's Analytic Magic Eye couldn't tell them apart.

While the group was studying Diana's list, a grand celebration was underway in the Witch's Forest.
