I Become a Landlady in the Game World

While Bayer and his party were still discussing official business, Zhou Bai and his party had already returned to the territory of Hope Village.

It could be said that the moment Zhou Bai stepped in, his control panel was instantly flooded with messages.

"Congratulations, Host, you have received 5 Gold Coins in business tax."

"Congratulations, Host, you have received 3 Gold Coins in business tax."

"[...]"

"Congratulations, Host, your resident population has reached 10,000 people."

"[...]"

"Dear Host, your hotel occupancy rate has reached 100%, please consider adding more hotels."

"Dear Host, the vacation task you posted at the Task Center has reached 50,000 participants, costing 5,000 Gold Coins."

"Dear Host, all the shops on your Commercial Street have been leased, please consider adding more."

"Dear Host, your residential houses have been sold out, please consider adding more."

"Dear Host, your Market has been fully leased, please consider adding more."

"[...]"

Having read through these messages, Zhou Bai already had a clear idea in mind.

Before leaving, to prevent the hotels in the territory from being overwhelmed, she had specifically upgraded some of the hotels to increase the number of rooms. Yet even upgrading all at once was still not enough.

There were also the residences and shops, which she had significantly increased.

Still, they hadn't withstood the enthusiasm of the "visitors."

Seeing the data of 50,000 participants and 5,000 Gold Coins, Zhou Bai felt a bit heartbroken.

However, looking at the current income of the territory's account, she was momentarily stunned.

"Wealth: 53,943 Gold, 24 Silver, 88 Copper"

She still remembered that when the territory had just been promoted to a level 3 village, its wealth had just exceeded 10,000 Gold Coins. Now, after adding so many buildings and spending so many Gold Coins, the total had actually quintupled.

She didn't feel heartbroken anymore, not at all!

Is this the benefit of having a large population?

Well then, bring on more.

Thinking this, Zhou Bai continued moving forward. They hadn't walked much farther when he already felt surrounded by people.

He glanced subconsciously at the territory map, and indeed, the green dots had become densely packed.

Of course, the denser areas belonged to the territory.

Before the promotion, she occasionally saw red dots on the territory map, representing Demon Beasts, but now, there wasn't a single red dot amid the sea of green.

Obviously, the Demon Beasts either dared not come or, if they did, couldn't escape.

"There are a lot more people," said Li Xingteng, standing beside Zhou Bai, unable to resist commenting, with a bit of excitement in his tone.

"Let's hurry," Zhou Bai responded, feeling a sense of urgency rising within her.

The development of the territory over the past few days had far exceeded her expectations.

She needed to enter the territory earlier to understand the specifics.

And keep the current advantage going.

After speeding up, Zhou Bai and her party soon reached the city gate.

The queues at the gate were still very long.

However, unlike before when it was filled with merchant teams and mercenary groups, the gate now had many families, young and old, traversing the dust and dirt.

"This village of Hope Village is indeed very lively; no wonder you kept asking us to come,"

"So many people are coming!"

"A village that attracts so many people must be quite good."

"But with it being so lively here, are you sure the residency fee is still only 10 Silver Coins?"

"I think it should be, people ahead managed to get in fine. If it wasn't for this price, they definitely wouldn't agree."

"Rather than the 10 Silver Coins, I'm more concerned about whether you can really live well in Hope Village?"

"Don't worry! You definitely can! Hope Village's shops and factories are particularly short staffed. When I came here before, I had already arranged with the factory that I could start working immediately upon arrival and earn a salary to support you all well. Later, you all should also look for suitable jobs. As for the kids, send them to the school! The tuition isn't expensive, and I can afford it."

"I'm not a Professional, can I still find a job?"

"Yes!"

"Brother, I see you're quite knowledgeable. Besides shops and factories, where else is hiring?"

"Hope Village is developing well, and all around there are places short of people. If you want to know where, just go straight to the Lord Mansion or the bulletin board in front of the Lord Mansion; both places have hiring notices. You can find them there."

"Does the Lord Mansion also hire people? What kind of people? Can ordinary people get hired?"

"Yes, hiring at the Lord Mansion is quite transparent. For clerical jobs, it depends on your personal skills. If you have special Skills, the chances of being selected are high, and the benefits are very good. Plus, you have some power within the territory. Besides clerical roles, there are also positions for building workers responsible for construction and roads within the territory. That job is tougher, but the rewards are genuinely high, with various kinds of bonuses."
