I Become a Landlady in the Game World

As everyone was preparing to leave Barnes Village, time was slipping by, minute by minute.

At the approach of nightfall, Zhong Yongnian took the lead.

After his store's goods sold out in a flash, Zhong Yongnian didn't restock any new merchandise.

Once his team was ready to leave, Zhong Yongnian went directly to Viscount Robin's manor.

"What do you need?" Viscount Robin asked somewhat surprised upon seeing Zhong Yongnian.

Zhong Yongnian smiled and said directly, "I have a parting gift for you, Lord Viscount."

"A parting gift?" Viscount Robin couldn't help but sit up straight.

Was it money again?

Indeed, the next moment, a familiar small sack appeared in front of Viscount Robin along with several Orange Backpacks.

"Please accept these, Lord Viscount," Zhong Yongnian said.

Seeing this, Viscount Robin promptly stood up to receive them.

Weighing the sack of Gold Coins, Viscount Robin then seriously inspected the contents of the Orange Backpacks.

They were all various kinds of well-packed Beast Meat Jerky, dried fruits, and even some popular spices.

"This is..." Viscount Robin's eyes flickered, wondering if the gift was overly generous.

"This time, I prepared a three-day supply, but since we are leaving tonight, I am left with these goods. Instead of taking them back as they are, it's better to let you sell them, Lord Viscount," Zhong Yongnian explained, giving Viscount Robin a knowing look.

Viscount Robin indeed understood.

The two had discussed on the first day how to "lever" cooperation from the corners of Hope Village.

He thought he was the anxious one, but it turned out Zhong Yongnian was just as eager!

This was perfect; it was enough to prove Zhong Yongnian's sincerity.

"You can handle the shop. When you come, I will give you your deserved share," Viscount Robin quickly offered his "sincerity."

"Alright," Zhong Yongnian agreed and then made his farewells.

As he turned to leave, a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Such sincerity indeed! He cleverly avoided bringing up the matter of casually kicking him, his partner, out of the territory.

From this incident, it was evident that he had never been regarded as an equal partner, and if they truly cooperated later, he who "betrayed" Hope Village would likely be completely at their mercy.

Such is the magnanimity of a Lord of a territory... No wonder so many within it did not hesitate to rebel.

Thinking of the expression that the Lord might show later, Zhong Yongnian mentally gave him two words in his heart: "Serve you right."

Following his departure from Viscount Robin's manor, Zhong Yongnian joined the team assembled by Min Zhuolin and headed toward the city gates.

When Justin saw Min Zhuolin again, he took a second look, but realizing the Hope Village team was about to leave, he somehow felt a great relief.

They were finally leaving!

Without any attempt to stop them, Justin simply let them pass.

And just as Zhong Yongnian and his companions stepped out of the city gate of Barnes Village, Watt, Ellis, Brooke, and others immediately received the news.

"Ellis, it's time for us to go," Watt said to Ellis.

Finally, they could leave.

"It's not over yet!" Ellis reminded.

Listening, Watt coughed lightly, "True, we still need to collect the Stone and Wood! Let's go outside the city to collect."

"Notify Brooke along the way," Ellis responded.

Now was the time to run; how well they could do at this crucial moment would be telling.

"Right."

After discussing, the two groups promptly packed up and left.

However, upon leaving, both groups didn't forget to loudly shout on the road.

"We need to leave Barnes Village before dark, the buying points for Stone and Wood will be set outside the city, we will depart as soon as it gets dark."

After repeating this several times on the road, the two groups then left Barnes Village.

Once outside the city, the two sides directly set up a small stall.

While they were busy buying at the stall, Brooke's side was also making final arrangements.

"Selling Stone and Wood is your last chance, do not panic, inform your respective team members to orderly proceed to sell outside the city, no need for further talk, just control the situation. If you can successfully lead the personnel out, you group leaders will receive respective rewards. Are you ready?"

"We are ready!" a few of the group leaders responded excitedly.
