I Become a Landlady in the Game World

As more and more money came in, he could build a fortress-like territory. With stronger territory strength, business could become more stable. The two complemented each other!

Thinking this, Zhou Bai, as a Lord, became even more confident in his territory.

At the next moment, he began to operate the control panel.

The shops had been fully leased, so he continued building. Currently, there were 275 shops in the territory, and without hesitation, Zhou Bai added 125 shops, reaching a total of 400 shops. That essentially formed an initial commercial district.

All the newly added residences were sold out, so the construction continued at Hope Village District five. In the first batch, 100 residences were built. Initially, Zhou Bai considered rental housing to address some people's livelihoods, but now, the newly built houses in Hope Village were mostly sold, not rented. Along with the market changes, the selling price of residences has also increased. Level 1 and Level 2 residences were no longer constructed. Their market prices were 10 Gold Coins and 20 Gold Coins, respectively, mainly sold by people seeking to exchange properties. Prices varied based on location. As for the new Level 3 Residences, the price had risen from 30 Gold Coins to 40 Gold Coins, and still, they were selling well.

The hotel was full, so he continued building and incidentally hired corresponding staff once the construction was done.

With such a group of buildings, Zhou Bai had spent over a thousand Gold Coins.

However, Zhou Bai knew very well that the 500 Gold Coins spent would soon pay off, especially for the residences. 100 Level 3 Residences, costing only 1000 Gold Coins to build, could yield a return of 4000 Gold Coins.

Not to mention the shops and hotels. Although they wouldn't break even in the short term, they represented a long-term income.

Either way, it was profitable.

Real estate is a lucrative business in any world.

However, in the Human Clan Kingdom, there was one difference. Only if your territory had enough strength could you sell properties at a profitable price.

After adding several system-notified buildings, Zhou Bai took a moment to check the current buildings in the territory and upgraded those that could be upgraded.

What he most wanted to upgrade were the Heroic Spirit Hall and the Beast God Temple.

Previously, with enough Undead and Beastmen for territory development, he ceased summoning more.

But with the continued progress over time, the numbers of Territory Soldiers had steadily increased. Considering there were still vacancies, he was ready to continue summoning.

The last promotion changed from 1 person to 2. This time, could the promotion increase from 2 to 4 people? If it did, the range of options expanded quite a bit.

Thinking this, Zhou Bai took action.

[Heroic Spirit Hall (Level 2) — Heroic Spirit Hall (Level 3)]

[Beast God Temple (Level 2) — Beast God Temple (Level 3)]

[Restaurant — Add Products]

[Hospital (Level 1) — Hospital (Level 2) — Hospital (Level 3)]

[Level 1 Farmland — Level 2 Farmland — Level 3 Farmland]

[Task Center (Level 1) — Task Center (Level 2) — Task Center (Level 3)]

There are two types of building levels in the territory.

One type includes buildings like the Lord Mansion and Heroic Spirit Hall, which develop slowly, ranging from Level 1 to 9. At the village level, the highest is Level 3; town level, Level 6; and city level, Level 9. These buildings are staged in development.

Another type includes buildings like the Blacksmith Shop, which develop quickly, categorized as Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. Typically, village level equates to Basic, town level to Intermediate, and city level to Advanced. Each promotion consumes a substantial amount of resources, but their development isn't limited. As long as enough resources are invested, a leapfrog promotion of the buildings is possible, though few territories make such premature investments.

At Level 2 initially, Hope Village's development wasn't rapid, and for Zhou Bai, the territory's buildings were sufficient as they were.

However, by Level 3 and given the current rapid development of Hope Village, Zhou Bai naturally wanted the territory's buildings to match its development pace.

After all the upgrades, Zhou Bai's account had several hundred fewer Gold Coins again.

At the same time, the functionality of various buildings, particularly a few special buildings, had changed.

[Special Building: Heroic Spirit Hall]

[Level: 3]

[Function: Able to summon Heroic Spirits. The Lord can decide whether to employ them. Once employed, Heroic Spirits will serve the territory.]

[Frequency: 4/Day]

[Note: Level 3 and above buildings can summon without physically visiting the building.]

*

[Special Building: Beast God Temple]

[Level: 3]

[Function: Able to summon Beastmen. The Lord can decide whether to employ them. Once employed, Beastmen will serve the territory.]

[Times: 4/Daily]

[Note: Buildings of Level 3 and above can summon without needing to go to the building.]

*

[Special Building: Hospital]

[Level: Level 3]

[Function: Provides medical services]

[Note: As a special building, the Heroic Spirit Hall summons doctors with a 100% probability, meaning a doctor is summoned every time.]

*

[Special Building: Task Center]

[Level: Level 3]

[Function: Capable of posting tasks to hire mercenaries and mercenary teams from other territories.]

[Note: There is one opportunity per month to initiate hiring tasks for Intermediate Mercenary Teams.]

*

After reading about these special building changes, Zhou Bai's eyes immediately lit up.

As for the territory, doctors were the most lacking. It could be said that the number of doctors couldn't keep up with the development speed of the territory.

She had already started recruiting through the Task Center.

Now, with the summoning probability of doctors at one hundred percent, she wouldn't have to worry for a while, especially since the summoned doctors were also reliable.

In addition to that, there was the summoning from the Heroic Spirit Hall and the Beast God Temple.

The number was just as she expected, changed from 2 to 4, but what was surprising was that she no longer needed to go there in person.

She no longer had to get up in the dark.

As for other buildings, after the farmland was upgraded, the quality of the crops, vegetables, and fruits that were planted would improve, and the yield would also increase.

In a nutshell,

You get what you pay for!

After finishing all this, Zhou Bai directly executed everything she had just managed on the Lord Panel.

After running it, the territory emitted a faint magical fluctuation.

Following this magical fluctuation, the entire territory seemed refreshed, as if minute changes had occurred.

Previously, many people needed to see the changes with their own eyes to notice them.

But as everyone's level increased, they felt that slight sense of the magic fluctuation just now.

Then, when their eyes swept past a certain building in the territory, they had a realization.

This building in the territory had been upgraded.

The ones who felt this more acutely than the residents of Hope Village were the local residents, especially those who had just entered Hope Village for a visit.

They could distinctly feel that the magic power in Hope Village had climbed a notch.

Hope Village actually upgraded all the buildings in the territory to the highest possible level?

They knew that in many of their territories, even though they might have been third-level villages for a long time, not all buildings were upgraded to Level 3 because it wasn't necessary, and more importantly, it required a considerable amount of gold coins.

Of course, there were some villages that had been at the third-level for a long time, but that was to prepare for advancing to a Level 1 town, as the promotion to town level would have requirements regarding the building levels, naturally necessitating prior upgrades.

But Hope Village had just been upgraded, hadn't it? And it was a long way from advancing to a Level 1 town!

Under such circumstances, what could be the reason for upgrading all buildings? They could only think of one thing.

Money!

Thinking about this, they already had a deep first impression of Hope Village in their minds.
