I Become a Landlady in the Game World

"You seem to know a lot."

"Of course, I'm moving here with my family—how could I not understand everything clearly! I've been back and forth to Hope Village for two days before I finally decided to settle here, considering everything thoroughly."

"Was your original territory not good?"

"It was okay, but it was just enough to get by. There, you could never have a good life, and I've always wanted to change that; I just didn't know how to start until I came across Hope Village. I knew my opportunity had come."

"My life in my previous territory wasn't good, and I heard good things about this place, so I came. After all, everyone hopes to live a little better. Now that I hear everyone saying this, I feel like I made the right decision."

"I feel the same, quite excited!"

"..."

In the long queue at the scene, many people chatted animatedly, their eyes full of hope for a new life in the future.

Zhou Bai, within the crowd, heard their conversation.

Indeed, hearing these words really gave her, the lord of the village, a great sense of accomplishment.

Perhaps, this was also the significance of properly building a territory.

A territory's existence can change the lives of one person or even tens of thousands.

Instantly, Zhou Bai felt the weight of her responsibilities had increased significantly.

However, as long as she worked hard and remained true to her conscience, that was enough!

While Zhou Bai was thinking this, many people around her noticed her group.

After all, the presence of undead and beastmen was quite conspicuous.

With the fame of Hope Village, the presence of undead, beastmen, and goblins had become widely known.

When they first heard of it, many had their doubts, but once they learned that the undead and beastmen were managed officially and that interactions with them were incredibly friendly, their reputation improved.

Now, seeing the undead and beastmen, people realized that this was an official group from Hope Village.

Of course, what mattered the most was that all members of this group were Intermediate Professionals.

Such a composition might not be a big deal at the town level, but in a village, it definitely counted as top-notch.

"She is the Hope Village Chief, and these people are Territory Soldiers," someone recognized Zhou Bai and exclaimed as many others looked on.

At once, the scene burst into activity, everyone turning to look in Zhou Bai's direction.

Then they started murmuring among themselves.

"That's the Hope Village Chief, she looks quite young!"

"But she's not weak at all, quite a renowned figure in Hope Village, very diligent, and of course, very talented."

"These undead and beastmen are really quite friendly, queuing up behind us."

"Yes! They are official personnel from the territory and so amicable, quite unexpected."

"This proves that Hope Village is a very suitable place to live, even the chief is so disciplined."

"Speaking of which, the Village Chief's promotion speed is also very fast! I remember the last time I came here, she was still a primary professional, and it hasn't been many days."

"I heard they went out for an upgrade because Hope Village's population is increasing, and many Intermediate Professionals are coming to join, so the official territory has to be strong to maintain order."

"Do they not recruit these Intermediate Professionals then?"

"They do! The Territory Soldiers are always recruiting, but it requires contribution."

"What contribution?"

"Well, after becoming a resident, the territory decides this based on your performance in Hope Village, it's quite useful. If you want to become a soldier or work for the official territory, you need at least 500 contribution points."

"That requirement seems reasonable, in other territories, if you want to become a soldier, you have to pay!"

"Yes, that's another attraction point of Hope Village."

"What about these undead and beastmen? How did they become Territory Soldiers?"

"They were summoned through Special Buildings by the territory. When they were first summoned, the territory was quite weak; many people were not professionals, but they were already primary professionals, naturally becoming the main fighting force of the territory. Plus, they have contracts with the territory, ensuring their loyalty. As for those summoned now, even if they are Intermediate Professionals, without enough contribution, they can't immediately become soldiers or work at the Lord Mansion. However, with their strength, joining is quite easy. These days, Hope Village's recruitment mainly targets Intermediate Professionals, each very powerful and skilled. Once they arrive, they get assigned to various critical positions for internships. So, if you have the ability, you can rise quickly in Hope Village."
