I Become a Landlady in the Game World

While Zhou Bai felt content, Viscount Lancelot showed a trace of surprise.

In normal circumstances, the development of a territory to this extent wouldn't be anything special, but these territories, like Hope Village, had only emerged in the world for just over two months.

The speed of their development was truly astounding.

Each territory had its unique direction, but one thing they had in common was their impressive prowess!

Viscount Lancelot's expression changed instantly.

It wasn't just the vast potential of these territories that struck him, but also, like Hope Village, they possessed something he coveted.

Mercenaries from Ningshan Village and Wenxia Village;

Fish and shrimp specialty goods from Xidong Village;

Crafts and weapons from Tabert Village;

Grains and fruits among other resources from Pingmo Village.

In that moment, these territories significantly rose in status in the heart of Viscount Lancelot.

"Do you have these goods in stock now?" Viscount Lancelot directly asked.

"Of course, Viscount Lancelot, whatever you need, we can mostly provide, especially since Hope Village has opened the holiday passage, making it very convenient for us to supply goods," Guo Yunxiu responded without hesitation.

She really needed a channel!

While she was speaking, she looked at Zhou Bai, "Can we conduct the transaction here in Hope Village?"

Although Xidong Village had opened a Task Center, the tasks issued were carefully selected, and even now, they only targeted Blue Star Territory.

Because at the moment, the risk resistance ability of her own territory was still relatively low. She was already finding it hard to deal with the surrounding native territories and did not plan to increase the difficulty for her own territory.

Before she had absolute confidence, she planned to lay low.

As for Hope Village.

Although she hadn't explored it all, from the tip of the iceberg she had seen, she knew how attractive Hope Village was.

Even knowing its attractiveness, its willingness to open up fully proved one thing—Hope Village was confident in its strength.

Under such circumstances, she still wanted to sneakily utilize the flag of Hope Village to develop.

Listening to her, Zhou Bai understood Guo Yunxiu's thoughts, and began to calculate in his heart.

Currently, the shops in Hope Village basically required a resident identity, and she did not want to break this rule, as it also served as a way to attract mercenary teams and merchant teams.

But one place could make a concession.

The Market.

Large transactions had mostly shifted to the market area, and although the stalls had been snapped up, she could double the available spots by upgrading. If these spots allowed visitors, not only would it bring in more rent, it could also enrich the products of Hope Village.

Guo Yunxiu was using Hope Village's "flag" to lower her own presence.

But Hope Village could use the specialty products of others to attract more people.

It was a win-win situation.

If Hope Village could withstand this pressure, its ability to attract gold would absolutely rise a notch.

This matter was settled!

Thinking this, Zhou Bai directly said, "Of course, and not just a one-time trade, you can continuously ship out goods in Hope Village. The stalls at the market were intended to be open to visitors, you just need to pay taxes according to the rules of Hope Village."

"Can I reserve a spot?" Guo Yunxiu, aware of the market's foot traffic, knew she wouldn't lose out by leveraging this market.

"I want one too," Fu Wenlin eagerly said.

The remaining few didn't speak, but they were staring intently at Zhou Bai, making their intentions very clear.

"Alright, I'll make an exception for you," Zhou Bai was not someone who always stuck rigidly to the rules.

Sometimes, favors were necessary!

"Count me in as well!" Viscount Lancelot chimed in.

Although his breeding business had already established a stable market, it was only famous in a certain area. Given the current pace of Hope Village, more territories would inevitably be attracted, so capitalizing on this booth to heighten his own territory's fame was a very good choice.

"Okay," Zhou Bai agreed readily.

After this matter was concluded, Guo Yunxiu and Fu Wenlin immediately made a huge deal with Viscount Lancelot.

As for the goods of the Jin Jingshan siblings and Zhong Yuanzhou, they weren't urgently needed by Viscount Lancelot and weren't irreplaceable; he naturally wasn't in a hurry to discuss them.

But what Viscount Lancelot didn't need, Hope Village did.

Hope Village was currently producing goods through its factory, and there was a constant output of products, naturally requiring a constant supply of raw materials.

Zhou Bai directly represented the territory in discussions with the three people, purchasing these resources in the name of the territory and then reselling them; he would make a small profit!

Thus, while touring the school, they finished discussing the business.

Xu Xiuwei, who had originally acted as their guide, followed them quietly the whole time.

He had already suspected that these people were not of ordinary status, and indeed it proved true.

When they had revealed their identities, he inevitably felt shocked.

He couldn't participate in the trade, so he could only silently accompany them.

Just standing behind them, he was somewhat excited; the trade involved hundreds of gold coins, more money than he had ever seen in his life!

And by the time the group had finished negotiating, they had virtually finished touring the scope of the school.

At this time, the sky had gradually darkened.

Torches throughout the entire territory had already lit up, marking the transition from day to night.

At this moment, everyone realized that they had been talking for such a long time.

"Let's call it a day! Everyone take some rest in the territory, and we can continue exploring tomorrow. If anyone needs to collaborate with Hope Village, feel free to head to the Lord Mansion and speak with our staff." Zhou Bai said, touching her stomach which was starting to growl.

She had been busy from morning until night today!

After today, she was afraid she wouldn't be as diligent because upcoming visitors might likely be more of the native territory lords.

"All right, thank you," Guo Yunxiu thanked Zhou Bai.

Their visit to Hope Village today had been quite fruitful!

Hope Village was indeed a wonderful place!

The others also expressed their thanks in turn.

After the thanks were given, they didn't linger long; the pairs began to leave.

Incidentally, Xu Xiuwei also received an "overtime fee" before departing.

Watching their prompt actions, Viscount Lancelot was astonished.

He had originally thought it was just Zhou Bai who was particularly different, straightforward with them, but apparently, they were all cut from the same cloth.

Seeming to know what Viscount Lancelot was thinking, Zhou Bai directly said, "You'll get used to dealing with our people."

Viscount Lancelot: "…"

"Should I head off as well?" Zhou Bai then asked.

Viscount Lancelot: "Go ahead, go ahead!"

Zhou Bai waved her hand and quickly disappeared into the twilight.

After he left, some soldiers who had been following Viscount Lancelot closely now came up, gathering behind him.

Looking at those solitary lords and then at his own soldiers beside him, Viscount Lancelot once again felt the difference between the two sides.

However, after getting used to their methods, he felt it was quite good.

This was what effective, win-win cooperation looked like, wasn't it?

Thinking of Wolf, who had faced a debacle today in Hope Village, Viscount Lancelot thought he might stay a few more days in Hope Village to properly experience the clash of two distinct cultures.

It must be quite interesting!
