I Become a Landlady in the Game World

The next day, early in the morning, many residents had already packed their bags.

After hearing the news from Brooke yesterday, some residents who had long thought of leaving took the excuse of going out to gather resources and left.

After leaving, they never came back.

Some residents, after listening, were even more certain of one thing: Hope Village really had someone on the outside waiting to help them.

Otherwise, those who left would definitely have returned to Barnes Village.

But just as they were preparing to set off early, someone called out to them to stop.

"Hold up, I have something to announce. After you hear it, you can decide whether to leave immediately."

"What's the matter?" many people looked at the man, Vasily.

They knew Vasily; he was a respected old resident of the area. Since he only wanted to talk to them, they didn't mind pausing for a bit.

"Brooke saw me this morning and mentioned that now is not the best time to leave. He told me to inform you that if you're willing, you can stay one more day and wait for his notice to leave," Vasily said directly.

"Stay one more day? Won't that give rise to many unforeseen problems?"

"Yeah! Didn't he tell us to leave as soon as possible?"

"Is that really what Brooke said! Or are you deliberately trying to delay us?"

"So when is the best time to leave then?"

"..."

The high-pressure policies of Barnes Village in recent times had indeed put a lot of pressure on many people. Therefore, when they learned that there was an opportunity to leave Barnes Village, they naturally wanted to seize the time.

They could think of those who run quickly and leave quickly, while those who run slowly or even can't leave at all would naturally be racing against time.

Seeing their anxious expressions, Vasily said directly, "The reason I'm asking you to stay for one more day is so you can earn some extra money to settle in. The Mercenary Team in Hope Village will pay a high price for stone and wood in Barnes Village. If you go outside to gather wood and stone, you can not only earn money but also make the authorities in Barnes Village let their guard down. When the time comes to leave, you can use collecting resources as an excuse to leave smoothly without being afraid. What do you think?"

After listening to Vasily's words, the crowd looked at each other and discussions quickly ensued.

"What do you think?"

"I think it's doable! Come to think of it, we Professionals have been restricted from coming and going recently, and we've been living off our savings. The cash in hand has indeed reduced a lot."

"And now when we go out, we have to pay a certain deposit. We were originally planning to spend this money, but now it seems we can earn some back."

"I still feel like it's better to leave directly."

"Didn't they say it's up to us to decide?"

"..."

As they negotiated, many people had already made up their minds.

Seeing this, Vasily hurriedly said, "Those who are interested in staying can register with me. I will inform you when the best time to leave is."

As soon as his words fell, quite a number of people registered with Vasily, and more and more came to sign up.

In a short while, the number of people on Vasily's side was full.

"Alright, that's enough people for me. Those who haven't registered can go find someone else to register with."

"Can't we register with you? We don't know anyone else!" Some people who didn't get to register were anxious.

They were skeptical when there was still availability, but now that there was no more space, they started to feel nervous.

Vasily, feeling apologetic, said, "With too many people, it's easy for me to get things mixed up, and if the notification isn't proper, that wouldn't be good! However, Brooke appointed plenty of group leaders; you should go to another spot early so you can finalize things sooner."

Vasily didn't hesitate to direct people to the other group leaders.

He knew very well that at this moment, everyone was in this together.

To be honest, he too was nervous when Brooke approached him.

But in the end, he was convinced.

He was an old man with an unpredictable future for his sons and grandsons. He indeed needed to figure out a way for them to have an escape route.

He hoped that this path wasn't mistaken.

Upon hearing Vasily's words, indeed many people found a way to other group leaders.

Thus, countless small groups formed within the residential area.

Once a group formed, they hurried toward the city gates.

"Where are you going?" At the city gate, soldiers had set up barricades. Only those who had paid the deposit and explained their destination could pass through smoothly.

Over the past few days, there were very few people wanting to leave the city, and the soldiers had quite a relaxing time.
