I Become a Landlady in the Game World

After hearing his words, the scene fell silent.

Clearly, no one had expected it to turn out this way.

Such a precious food production method had just been shared.

Aren't they afraid of others learning the recipe and then mastering it?

Once mastered, it would no longer be an exclusive product of Hope Village's territory, and the future prospects for Hope Village to profit would be greatly diminished.

Of course, seeing how it is at Hope Village, the recipe is probably extremely difficult to replicate.

As long as they maintain this uniqueness, Hope Village could remain undefeated in the future.

Because those who benefited from Hope Village would continuously source their goods from there.

This might be more profitable than keeping control entirely in their own hands.

A group of officials easily understood the strategy involved.

But while they understood it, it's usually not something they could achieve.

They didn't have the courage for it!

They were both envious and jealous of Hope Village.

This newly emerged territory turned out to be so impressive.

"Since that's the case, never mind, but do you still have supplies of Hope Village's recipe? We'd like to purchase some," Damien stated directly.

Since that's the case, they should study Hope Village's recipe!

They also realized that this was Hope Village's "trump card."

Marion paused for a moment before quickly taking out the remaining recipe on him, "This is what I have left, and it's all here. If you need more, you can collect it from our territory, as there should still be plenty available from others."

Marion was actually somewhat nervous.

He worried that these territories would learn to produce the recipe.

He was well aware that if a territory like Sorrel Town mastered it, they would not likely share it with the common people; they would prefer to hold onto it themselves and sell it at exorbitant prices.

However, he was also aware that he could not compete with these individuals.

They were lucky to have gotten out unscathed this time.

But since he had already committed, he felt he could be a bit bolder.

With this in mind, Marion cautiously asked, "Can we continue to sell these goods here in the future?"

Hearing Marion's words, Damien snapped back to reality, "Of course you can."

"Thank you," Marion and his companions quickly thanked him.

Their own territory's markets were dominated by powerful figures; they had come here because if they couldn't operate here, they would have to look elsewhere, which would be such a hassle!

They had a premonition that the goods from Hope Village would sell even more wildly in the future; if they started early, maybe they could build their own reputation sooner, gather more customers, and make more money.

Then, Damien asked them to leave.

Once they had left, Damien turned to the other officials and asked, "What do you think?"

"They probably aren't deceiving us."

"They wouldn't dare."

"So what do we do now?"

"Send some people to check their territory first, then send some to Hope Village."

"…"

The group quickly made up their minds.

Regardless of whether they could gain any benefits, now that they knew about it, they couldn't pretend nothing had happened; they needed to investigate further.

Moreover, they didn't believe that if they could discover it, that other territories couldn't.

It seemed that many villages had already been "captured," now expanding their scale towards towns and cities from these villages!

Other territories would likely take note as well.

The best they could do was to understand the situation as early as possible; if they couldn't uncover the secret, they still needed to see if they could get a share.

After all, if ordinary people could profit from it, why couldn't their much larger territories?

In fact, as Damien and the others expected, as more people from more villages traveled to Hope Village and profited from reselling Hope Village's goods, they began targeting nearby towns and cities.

Under such circumstances, more and more towns and cities were being overtaken by Hope Village's goods.

Hope Village, a small territory, had suddenly burst into the view of countless other territories.
