I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Hope Village treats the residents better! And they offer tangible things.

Thinking of this, Marvin added another sentence, "So the Mayor even doubted whether you were also planning to move."

Wendell listened and didn't hesitate to reply, "Of course not!"

But in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a twinge.

To be honest, the longer he stayed in Hope Village, the more he watched Hope Village's buildings rise from the ground and its rapid development, he admitted, he was a bit regretful, especially after seeing Maria and the former mercenaries of Bengela Town living a whole new life in Hope Village.

But by this point, he knew he could not look back, naturally he could only stand firm on his initial decision.

Moreover, his backing by Bengela Town as a permanent presence in Hope Village essentially meant no difference from participating in the development of Hope Village.

It was just a difference in name, that's all.

With this in mind, Wendell settled down and then said, "Does the Mayor have any other instructions?"

"There's nothing more, the Mayor has already sent a message to the Lord, and without surprises, the Lord will return soon," Marvin quickly said, "Besides that, it's a personal matter to ask us to help sell some goods in Hope Village."

Listening to this, Wendell responded directly, "That's no problem, I'll strive to reserve a Market spot for the Mayor and Bengela Town each under someone else's name, and how to handle it will depend on the Mayor's wishes."

"Sure," Marvin nodded, as one of Wendell's confidants, with a share in the previous shop, the money he earned could tell how powerful Hope Village's consumer capacity really was.

As long as their goods are competitive, plus the Market's foot traffic, it's definitely another lucrative weapon.

That's also returning the benefits to the Mayor.

Following this, the two headed in the direction of the number distribution area.

Of course, Wendell was preparing to secure a Market stall for himself, being able to use his own name openly and legitimately, he certainly wouldn't use someone else's.

And at the scene, many other Mercenary Team leaders of other territories made the same choice.

Even those who had reservations at first, seeing so many Lords' decisions, dispelled their concerns.

It's really not something an ordinary territory could achieve, especially since Hope Village is still just a village.

**

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Commercial Management Office.

Several Lords and Nobles were standing in front of a board observing the stall locations.

Even though the stalls were the same size, their locations differed significantly.

Especially the ones near the entrance, which were definitely "hot spots."

Jin Jingshan and others, confident in their own territory's situation, chose a spot that suited them quickly.

On the other hand, Guo Yunxiu, in order to quickly penetrate the market, unhesitatingly chose a core location, which was also the most expensive according to the marked Prices.

Absolutely Golden shops!

But just after Guo Yunxiu's choice, Viscount Keynes interjected from the side, "I would like that one, too."

Hearing this, Guo Yunxiu frowned slightly and subconsciously said, "I chose it first."

"I can offer a higher Price," Viscount Keynes smiled and replied in a reasoning tone, "I heard the previous stalls adopted a bidding format, the village chief made it convenient for you, but you can't let them not make money."

The location was at an intersection of one of the main thoroughfares, which he was determined to secure, since choosing, he should choose the best.

Guo Yunxiu looked at the smiling Viscount Keynes and pursed her lips.

If she could secure the spot through bidding, she would be willing; however, she knew all too well that in terms of financial power, she was very likely unable to match the opponent.

But to let it go, she felt somewhat unwilling.

Also, the Price was clearly marked above, obviously not by way of bidding.

Watching Guo Yunxiu's response, Viscount Keynes's mouth curled slightly, as if he had already secured victory.

Zhou Bai, who had observed the scene, directly stepped forward, "Viscount Keynes, for the Market stalls targeting visitors this time, I've opted for a numbering system and had no plans to engage in bidding for these stalls."

On one's own territory, one couldn't let one's compatriots be "bullied," right?

Furthermore, it was something she should have clarified earlier, but the sudden appearance of these Lords caught her off guard with the possibility that so many would choose the same stall.

Indeed, sometimes when rules are broken, it's easy for "accidents" to happen.

She might as well avoid such issues in the future!

Zhou Bai silently warned herself.

Listening to Zhou Bai's words, Viscount Keynes's face instantly darkened, disbelievingly looking at Zhou Bai.

Clearly, he did not expect Zhou Bai to be the one to unsettle his plans.

Guo Yunxiu watched Zhou Bai blankly.

From the previous warm tone of Viscount Keynes, it was obvious there was business between them, and he must have felt a closer connection to Hope Village to be so unrestrained.

Or perhaps he simply didn't take her territory, ranking so far behind, seriously, convinced she would yield.

In terms of value, he was more worthwhile.

But Zhou Bai could not possibly say that.

Therefore, in such a situation, the best choice for Zhou Bai would have been not to intervene in the dispute.

But she did.

Guo Yunxiu knew very well why Zhou Bai did so.

With a slight change of heart, looking at the gloomy Viscount Keynes, she actively spoke, "Never mind, I'll choose a different location."

She was also willing to step back for Zhou Bai's sake.

Other places could sell too! Though it was particularly uncomfortable to have her preferred spot snatched away.

Upon hearing this, Viscount Keynes looked at Zhou Bai and asked, "And now?"

"We all come from the same place and have started from scratch after arriving on the Stan Continent. It's not easy for any of us, and we are Companions. If I don't stand up for them, who else can?" Zhou Bai continued, expressing her thoughts with a sincere tone, "I hope you can understand."

Listening, Viscount Keynes looked at Zhou Bai and then at Guo Yunxiu and her party, huffed lightly, "Fine, I'll give you some face!"

He had never thought that territories of the Human Clan Kingdom would have the so-called "companions."

However, this incident let him see some hints.

This time, he would grant them their wish.

He would wait and see what their future held.
