I Become a Landlady in the Game World

On the other hand, other teams had also started their own actions.

Tavern.

"Zhong Yongnian really did get close to the Barne Village Lord, and now he's preparing for the grand opening," Xu Xiuwei said as he came in and sat directly opposite Yun Juncai.

In just that little while, he had walked around the main street of Barnes Village and learned quite a bit from the mouths of the residents, realizing that their boss had indeed predicted correctly.

"His mind is flexible, sometimes where others think one step, he's already thought three steps ahead. This time, we have to thank him for stabilizing the Barnes Village Lord for us," Yun Juncai acknowledged.

He had considered this point when he arrived and had thought of many ways, only to be far surpassed by his companion.

It was a fairly good start.

"So what do we do next?" Xu Xiuwei asked.

He knew they were here on a mission, but seeing the residents of Barnes Village unable to act freely, he really didn't know where to begin.

He just didn't know what the boss would do.

"We're just here to eat, drink, and have fun; Barnes Village is just our first stop," Yun Juncai said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuwei immediately displayed a bright smile, "I understand now!"

Not treating a mission like a mission is the way to be natural.

Subsequently, the two walked around in Barnes Village, purchased many items, and enjoyed a lot of food. During this process, they inevitably interacted with the merchants and personnel of Barnes Village, and their relationship kept getting more familiar.

Mercenary Center.

"Watt? What are you doing here? I thought..." A mercenary looked at Watt in surprise, and after the surprise, his face showed a hint of joy, "You're still alive. That's great."

While saying this, the mercenary Maimaiti joyfully hugged Watt.

Seeing someone whom he thought was dead suddenly appear before him was indeed an exciting shock!

For them, it was a rare moment of emotional expression.

"Where are you now? In Bengala Town?" Maimaiti asked after releasing Watt.

Because he always remembered that Watt's dream was to go to a better territory.

In this region, the strongest was Bengala Town, and Watt had planned to go there once his level was high enough.

After hearing about the destruction of Abo Duowei Village, he was quite worried about Watt and thought Watt might have escaped. And if he had, he would most likely go straight to Bengala Town.

Seeing him now, he naturally made such an assumption.

Hearing this, Watt's expression paused for a moment, then he replied, "I didn't go to Bengala Town, I just stayed in Hope Village."

Hearing the words "Hope Village," Maimaiti's expression changed slightly. He looked around and then whispered, "How did you end up in Hope Village?"

"After escaping from Abo Duowei Village, we planned to go to Bengala Town. We passed through Hope Village on the way, stayed here for a while, and then... felt it was nice, so we stayed in Hope Village," Watt said, pausing his tone.

This definitely wasn't dissatisfaction with Hope Village, but rather he was thinking about the "bitter" process that had initially forced them to stay in Hope Village; his men had almost run out!

But by now, everything had come full circle.

Hope Village was better than they had imagined.

Thinking this, Watt couldn't help but laugh.

Maimaiti, observing the changes in Watt's expression, continued to ask, "Is Hope Village really that good?"

As Watt was about to mention the advantages of Hope Village, Maimaiti glanced at the mercenaries passing by and said, "Let's talk about it later."

With that, Maimaiti led Watt and his companions to their Mercenary Team's workplace.

Once on his own turf, Maimaiti seemed more at ease.

He then smiled awkwardly at Watt, "It's not that I have objections to Hope Village, but because Hope Village is considered taboo in our territory. The Lord has not banned us from discussing Hope Village, but if we show curiosity about it, it's detrimental for our life in Barnes Village."

Hearing Maimaiti's words, Watt frowned, "Has Barnes Village really come to this? This kind of prohibition is not good for the development of the territory."

"The territory is probably aware of it, I've heard that it might be lifted after the Territory War," Maimaiti said, his words still holding a hint of hope for Barnes Village.

Of course, it was the place he had always lived; if there wasn't utter despair, why would he easily give up?

Especially Maimaiti, who managed a Mercenary Team and didn't have a bad life in Barnes Village. Even during the migration wave in the territory, he was never tempted.

It was only because of the territory's harsh policies that their Mercenary Team had indeed suffered a significant impact when operating outside, forcing them to take more jobs from the Mercenary Center. Although the profits weren't low, constantly being outdoors made them feel extremely on edge.

Listening to Maimaiti's words, Watt showed a hint of hesitation.

That hesitation was immediately noticed by Maimaiti.

"What's wrong? Do you have a problem?" Maimaiti asked sharply.

"It's nothing, I just don't know if I should say it; if I do, it seems intentional," Watt sighed helplessly.

Seeing Watt like this, Maimaiti felt even more uneasy and said earnestly, "If you consider me a friend, just say it."

Hearing this, Watt hesitated for a moment, then said bluntly, "The Territory War this time might not go well for Barnes Village..."

"How might it not go well?" Maimaiti couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

"This is some insider news I know; Barnes Village has allied with other territories planning to target our Hope Village, so Hope Village is preparing to strike first," Watt said directly, watching Maimaiti's changing expression and silently apologizing in his heart.

Though he wasn't lying, and he spoke the truth, his purpose in telling this was to sway them.

Hearing this, Maimaiti's expression indeed worsened for a moment.

But eventually recovering, he looked at Watt with a cold expression, "Is this why you suddenly came to our territory? To shake our morale? What does Hope Village want to do?"

Watt wasn't surprised that the other party had figured this out, as everyone living on the edge grows in experience and can't easily be led by the nose.

"What I just said is true, whether it's Barnes Village trying to target us or Hope Village trying to target Barnes Village; these things are genuinely happening. And my coming here early is just to slightly weaken Barnes Village's strength and recruit you to our territory," Watt said with more composure after being exposed.

Maimaiti looked at Watt earnestly and moved his lips, but didn't say anything.

His thoughts were indeed a bit chaotic.

"To be honest, I don't think Barnes Village could handle Hope Village, and if you stay in Barnes Village, the end result will only be pointless sacrifice. I hope you seriously consider the risks involved. We mercenaries really don't have to hang by a single tree," Watt continued sincerely, "If you trust me, I can tell you, Hope Village is truly a great option."
