I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Locke was surprised but still expressed his understanding, "That's great, whatever profession you choose, the one that suits you is the best."

"I think so too." Brooke nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen you around the territory for several days, and it seems like you've moved from being a primary professional to an intermediate professional?" Locke only noticed this now.

After all, he had been an intermediate professional for quite some time and hadn't paid much attention to this aspect.

Hearing this, Brooke smiled, "Yep, I went out with my team to 'grind mobs,' oh, that's what they call it—hunting magic beasts. Most of us who went out have already become intermediate professionals, and moreover, you can only come back for a rest once you've reached that level."

"That many? Did you go near Bengala Town?" Locke asked instinctively.

Since their own village chief had gone near Bengala Town and didn't return until he reached intermediate professional level.

Could it be that this had become a trend?

"Yes! There are lots of intermediate demon beasts over there, and sometimes we even encounter high-level magical beasts. It's much more profitable than hunting around Hope Village," Brooke said, inadvertently adopting the Blue Star residents' way of speaking, "But recently, with more people and teams going, it feels like there's not enough intermediate demon beasts to go around. Our team leader suggested we could try going even further to some smaller towns."

Locke fell silent for a moment.

What would the lord of Bengala Town think if he knew?

Forget it! As long as the territory and the village chief were handling it, if they thought it was okay, then it was okay.

Thinking this, he simply said three words, "Then, good luck."

"Thanks."

While the two men were chatting, they realized that their wives and children were already chatting together. The two men shared a tacit smile.

After walking together for a while and approaching the Lord Mansion, Locke took the initiative to say, "I'm heading to work now. You all stick together!"

"You have a good day at work, don't worry about us. We won't be in any danger in Hope Village," Beth said, leaving a kiss on Locke's cheek.

Locke returned the kiss to Beth and planted kisses on his three children before he left.

Watching his retreating figure, Beth turned to Brooke and his wife, "The kids seem to be having a great time, do you want to join us?"

"Yes! I've always felt our Rijef is too shy. It would be much better if he were as outgoing as Allen," Lola said with a smile.

"Your Rijef is so well-behaved! Our three...together they're like...little monkeys?"

The two women laughed at each other.

They also felt that 'little monkeys' was a very appropriate description for kids who were always jumping around.

And so, the four kids, hand in hand, hopped and skipped ahead, their joy indescribable.

Gradually, as the group neared the school, they encountered more and more children. Obviously, they knew about the new building near the school and had brought their kids to play.

Today was fortuitously a school holiday, which only occurred once a week. Many parents, for their children's sake, would make time no matter what.

Hence, the area was bustling with adults accompanied by their children.

Because of this, once they reached the school's vicinity, it greatly increased the chances of the kids meeting familiar classmates, greeting each other along the way.

Look, Beth's group had encountered another one.

"Tony, Annie." Allen greeted cheerfully.

Beth glanced at the other party and naturally recognized the father as Paul, currently working at the special product window of the territory restaurant.

The territory had seen a surge of various cuisines, leaving many residents yearning for more.

But the territory restaurant still held a special place in many people's hearts, becoming known as 'the best ever.'

Especially with the recent new rule banning tourists from dining at the restaurant.

The restaurant's affordability was tailored for Hope Village residents, and this special treatment gave them a sense of inexplicable comfort.

Therefore, many residents still dined at the restaurant.

As for the special products window where Paul worked, it had become a top choice for professionals.

Especially the restorative cuisine, which could not only fill the stomach but also replenish physical strength and magic power when taken out.

In addition to that, there were foods with special effects that could stack buffs on the consumer, which were also excellent.

Under these circumstances, they naturally knew Paul.

They also knew that Paul had been hired with a high salary.

Even with more and more local chefs in the territory, Paul and his colleagues' status remained unchanged. Their special effect foods would not easily be replaced after just one or two days, and further, due to the perfect food culture incubator that was Hope Village, they continuously developed new cuisines, cementing their status.

Seeing them, Paul also nodded in greeting, cradling his daughter Lucia in his arms.

When Lucia noticed so many eyes on her, she instinctively buried her head back in her father's embrace.

The group saw Lucia's slightly pale face and seamlessly shifted their gaze away.

"You taking a day off too?" Brooke inquired.

"Yeah, just out for a stroll with the kids," Paul nodded.

"How about joining us?" Brooke suggested.

Paul looked at his children, who had already taken the other kids' hands, and nodded in agreement.

The entire group grew larger.

As they talked, they felt a sense of kinship.

After all, their three families had come to Hope Village around the same time.

"It's quite the coincidence! But back then, I think it was just Paul who came first, and we followed him back later on. I never thought he'd leave Djibouti Village so decisively. It was such a comfortable village; I thought I'd spend my whole life there," Paul's wife Lilith reminisced with emotion.

"So, which place do you think is better now?" Beth asked.

"Definitely Hope Village." Lilith didn't hesitate to respond.

"I feel the same way. After staying in Hope Village, it's hard not to be conquered by it," Beth said with a smile.

Lola chimed in, "It really is very nice here."

After this exchange, they couldn't help but laugh.

They all unanimously agreed that coming to Hope Village was the best decision of their lives.

This casual chat instantly brought the parents closer together.

Then they began to discuss household matters, particularly about their own children.

In the midst of their conversation, they unknowingly passed the school and library.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

"This is the park!"

"The teacher mentioned a park."

"..."

The voices of the little ones overlapped, drawing their attention.

Looking over, they saw a world brimming with lush greenery suddenly unfold before their eyes, captivating their gaze.
