I Become a Landlady in the Game World

She wanted to go too.

However, for now, it was a critical time for the territory and it wouldn't be good for her to leave.

Wait until later then!

"Going out more often is also good," Zhou Bai said as he looked toward Zhou Zhengping, "Dad, the soldiers of the territory are taking turns hunting intermediate Demon Beasts near Bengala Town. You should also prepare to level up after you get back, right?"

"I've actually been planning on that!" Zhou Zhengping answered directly, "But won't there be any objections from Bengala Town with you guys doing this?"

"No, Earl Orkot from Bengala Town is still in Hope Village!" Zhou Bai responded directly.

"He's in Hope Village?"

"Maybe he initially came to cause trouble, but for some reason he put that aside for now and stayed because he's hooked on the delicious food. You can see him every day in various gourmet shops— he really knows how to enjoy himself," Zhou Bai explained.

Zhou Zhengping listened, frowning slightly, still not entirely at ease with these nobles.

"Is he up to no good?"

"He might be, but at least for now, he hasn't done anything," Zhou Bai said nonchalantly.

"That's true, we'll just have to host him," Zhou Zhengping said, when suddenly he remembered the Barnes Village Lord who had been eyeing them covetously, "Is there any movement over there?"

Zhou Bai didn't answer, but Bayer stepped forward, "The Glasgow Village Lord has sent people over. If all goes well, the two territories will reach an agreement soon, and then they'll look for an opportunity to jointly carve up Barnes Village."

Zhou Zhengping listened, paused for a moment, and said nothing more.

If others wanted to make a move, their counterattack was also quite reasonable.

Afterwards, Zhou Zhengping got a better idea of the recent situation in Hope Village and felt reassured.

In just a few days, the changes in Hope Village were indeed significant.

Fortunately, it was all developing in a good direction.

Then, Zhou Zhengping left the Lord Mansion.

As soon as he left the Lord Mansion, he encountered Li Xingteng, who had been waiting for him.

Seeing Li Xingteng approaching with a smile, Zhou Zhengping felt an ominous premonition.

This guy, he couldn't have come looking for him on purpose, could he?

The next moment, Li Xingteng put his arm around Zhou Zhengping's shoulders in a brotherly manner, "I heard that you completed your mission very successfully. Congratulations!"

"Thank you," Zhou Zhengping responded cautiously.

"You've earned a good amount of Contribution Value. You must be approaching 5,000 for your promotion, right?"

"Pretty close," Zhou Zhengping nodded.

"Ah! I'm envious of you! Unlike me, my Contribution has decreased recently because I've been trying to level up..." Li Xingteng continued.

Zhou Zhengping: "..."

Zhou Zhengping: "...Alright, I know you've been promoted to an Intermediate Professional. Congratulations."

Finally hearing these words from Zhou Zhengping, Li Xingteng was satisfied and then said, "Haha, it's rare that I advance before you, naturally I came to show off a bit. But still, I can't compare to you. When your Limestone was brought back, those in the know went crazy. The Construction team, led by Bi Jiamu, went directly to the cement factory. The resort now requires a large quantity of cement to complete the final construction! I really look forward to the resort being completed, and when the time comes, I also have to enjoy it. We should go together!"

Zhou Zhengping listened, agreed with a "Sure," but thought about taking his dear wife along.

And within the territory, because of the arrival of this batch of Limestone, construction began in full swing. The cement factory in Hope Village started to work overtime. More and more Limestone was turned into cement, then transported back to the warehouse, and from the warehouse to various construction sites, like the resort and the roads.

Especially the resort, after getting through the initial rough phase, the pace of construction grew faster with an abundance of materials. One building after another rose from the grounds of the resort.

In just a couple of days, the main structure of the resort was completed, embarking on the decoration phase.

The original barricades began to be removed, revealing the exquisite resort to everyone's view.

The architecture was antique, ancient yet beautiful, with unique carvings, evoking a sense of age... In any case, this previously unseen architectural style instantly made the resort a focal point for tourists.

"This architecture is really beautiful!"

"I've never seen it in any other territory."

"And can you believe these houses can be built so tall? It's really rare in other village-level territories."

"It's not just about being built tall, but that these towering buildings do not have any trace of magic on them, which means that the architecture has not been reinforced with magic but stands on the strength of its building materials alone."
