I Become a Landlady in the Game World

On the 65th day since the arrival of the Doomsday Game, it was also the second official day of Hope Village being open.

From early in the morning, many people had gathered at the Lord Mansion.

At this moment, the crowd inside could generally be divided into three parts.

The first group of people were mostly from the surrounding territories, with a significant portion being free mercemaries who had come following merchant teams and mercenary teams doing business in their own territories. Originally, they came to examine Hope Village to see if they could conduct some small-scale business, but after arriving and witnessing the prosperity of Hope Village, they decided not to leave.

The second group consisted of residents who had settled for some time, attracted by the official professions available on the territory. Some were attempting the examination for the first time, while others were there for multiple tries. After all, working for the territory meant stable jobs, wages, and benefits, ideal for auxiliary professionals or those who disliked conflict and combat.

The third group comprised visitors who had come to Hope Village over these two days. These visitors wanted to understand some regulations of Hope Village, looking to see if they could seize something from this vast market, including several territory lords and leaders of mercenary groups.

In summary, the diverse gathering of people caused a surge of crowds at the Lord Mansion with a mixture of various pieces of information.

"Have you really decided to become a resident of Hope Village? Don't you want to think it over?"

"Where is there to consider? This is the territory of my dreams. You might as well not think it over either and join me."

"If you decide now, it will be hard to go back to Bengala Town, since it is a Level 2 town after all."

"But living in Hope Village is more suitable! Anyway, I've already sold my house in Bengala Town, and the money left is enough for me to live a charming life here. My talent isn't strong anyway, and previously in Bengala Town, I had to follow the team to hunt and gather daily, often getting injured, and life was exhausting. Coming to Hope Village has been incredibly comfortable, and in terms of safety, it is no less than Bengla Town."

"You're right, the competitive pressure in Bengala Town is too high."

"More and more people are moving from Bengala Town to Hope Village; it has become a trend. Now that Hope Village has also opened a Task Center, more and more residents will know about Hope Village, and once the quota for Hope Village residents becomes sought-after, who knows if the conditions might get restricted."

"Alright! I'll join with you."

"…"

Similar conversations were taking place in every corner of the Lord Mansion, leading many who only intended to look around to eventually embrace Hope Village wholeheartedly.

At the population registry window, the numbers kept rolling upwards as the population increased.

At this moment, Jin Jingshan and his group were in the Lord Mansion, watching Hope Village's population skyrocket.

Yesterday, there had been just over 7,000 people, but by yesterday morning it had already reached 8,000.

It should be noted that Hope Village had just opened yesterday, aimed at village-level territories; moreover, mercenaries coming through the Task Center couldn't change their identities in Hope Village. So, the population increase in Hope Village was mostly from people from nearby territories.

The fact that so many people had arrived just a few days after being promoted was enough to prove that Hope Village had made a name for itself in the region, even surpassing a Level 2 town.

From this, it could be seen that Hope Village, having upgraded again last night, might experience a population explosion in the future.

"Originally our territory had a population over ten thousand, more than Hope Village, but in a day or two, even that advantage might be gone!" Jin Jingxia said first, looking at the figures with a hint of emotion.

Before coming to Hope Village, he and his elder brother had built their two territories quite well. Coupled with their adjacent geographical locations, even though they were ranked below Hope Village, together they should have been able to surpass any territory of the same level.

But after seeing Hope Village, they realized the gap of over a thousand ranks wasn't so easily closed.

The system ranked Hope Village based on its strength.

He was increasingly impressed with Hope Village.

"The step that Hope Village took first has already cemented its position. As long as nothing unexpected happens, Hope Village might just become the core of the Blue Star Territory," Guo Yunxiu followed up, looking at Jin Jingshan and his brother.

She originally thought it would be a union between Ningshan Village and Wenxia Village. However, she really felt good about the emerging Hope Village.

Hope Village had taken a great lead for their Blue Star Territory!

"Yes! The scale of Hope Village's development must have involved an investment of over ten thousand Gold Coins!" Fu Wenlin said enviously.

He was quite wealthy, but the progress of constructing his territory was still far behind Hope Village.

Of course, another reason was that the residents under his territory did not have the purchasing power of Hope Village residents, nor did they attract as many tourists.

"Its ability to attract Gold Coins is strong too; its economy has been activated," Zhong Yuanzhou said succinctly.

Speaking of which, after their collaboration with Viscount Lancelot yesterday, they took the Gold Coins they had and went to negotiate business at the Market while also gauging the situation there.

Afterwards, their frenzied shopping spree saw them spending a significant amount of Gold Coins.

At the time, there were clearly many teams even crazier than them.

A rough estimate could tell that the income of Hope Village was definitely in the four-digit range of Gold Coins.

It was genuinely enviable.

"Since we cannot surpass it, let's strive to catch up!" Jin Jingshan, looking at the envy on their faces, was even more filled with fighting spirit.

Coming to this world, having been somewhat unstable and always struggling to survive, the existence of Hope Village told them that a territory's development involved not only survival but also integration and growth.

As long as they had enough capabilities and strength, those powerful native territories counted for nothing.

They were somewhat impatiently looking forward to their territories colliding with more native territories.

It was both a challenge and an opportunity.

"Alright!" The others responded in unison, all being lords who had emerged from various crises; they only knew to advance, never to retreat!

Immediately thereafter, pathMatch the five of them directly went to the ticket counter.

This was also the purpose of their trip.

Early in the morning, as tourists, they had received a notification from the territory of Hope Village that the market had upgraded and added 100 new stalls, which were to be rented out to tourists.

Although they had already discussed it with Zhou Bai the previous day, it wasn't finalized, so naturally, they still needed to make the trip themselves.

The ticketing area was a newly allocated space by the Lord Mansion, located in the center of the Lord Mansion, featuring a circular counter where each department had assigned a staff member to register clients and issue numbers.

Once they had their number, they only needed to follow the announcements on the notice board to head to the department offices on the second floor to conduct their business, which to some extent limited the flow of people and enhanced the efficiency of the office.

Clearly, the busiest place at the moment was the Commercial Management Office.

After all, the most prosperous business in Hope Village was trade.

The group queued up behind others.

Fortunately, the ticketing process was very fast, and in no time, it was their turn.

"What business do you need to handle?" Today, it happened to be Locke at the counter, who looked at Jin Jingshan and his group and said, for it was evident that they were together.

"Market stall rental."

"Names."

"Jin Jingshan, Jin Jingxia…"

When Locke heard Jin Jingshan mentioning the names, he looked up immediately, his face full of smiles, "Oh, it's you folks! The village chief has already briefed us; here are your numbers. You can go upstairs and choose your spots right away."

As he spoke, Locke took out several wooden number tags, which were numbered from 1 to 5.

Jin Jingshan raised his eyebrows when he heard this; Zhou Bai was indeed considerate.

"Thank you," they said, taking their numbers and preparing to head to the second floor.

Just then, there was a sudden uproar from behind them.

"Tell your village chief to come out here!"

Turning back, they saw a group of people with bruised faces rushing in from the outside.

The leader's face bore particularly severe wounds.

In this world of magic, it was their first time seeing someone with such "serious" injuries.

Of course, what was most important was that they clearly saw a few large characters above the leader's head.

Fasal Village·Lord·***.

Clearly, this was one of the lords from the native territories.

It was obvious from his appearance that he had been injured and deliberately hadn't sought treatment in order to cause trouble.

From the time they entered Hope Village yesterday until now, they had seen only a prosperous Hope Village; now, seeing such an out-of-place group suddenly gave them a realization.

This is the normal pace of this world!

They were eager to see how Hope Village would handle the trouble that had come knocking.

Just as they were about to stop and watch, suddenly many figures emerged among the crowd.

Guarded by those around them, they unconsciously squeezed to the very front.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai, who was in the office, came down immediately upon receiving the news.

After glancing at the control panel, he paused in a moment.

Because on the nearby map, several names were specifically marked.

Dempsey Village·Lord·***.

Chester Village·Lord·***.

Zakli Village·Lord·***.

August Town·Baron·**.

Yuxi Village·Lord·***.

New House Village·Lord·****.

Bergas Village·Lord·***.

…

It turned out that the Lord Mansion had unknowingly gathered dozens of lords and nobles from various territories.

Zhou Bai then glanced at Wolf who was right at the center, his lips twitching slightly.

This one, he hasn't left yet!

And also, who had ambushed them???
