I Become a Landlady in the Game World

"On one side, Barnes Village fell into chaos due to Viscount Robin's coma; on the other, the team returning to Hope Village had just merged."

Li Xingteng and Pavel's group accelerated their march and caught up with the main force up front.

When the entire team merged, many who were not in the know were shocked. None of them had expected that so many people would leave Barnes Village—it was like a pot exploding.

"I thought Hope Village only poached our villagers, but there are so many professionals and even soldiers."

"Right! It's really unbelievable. How did they manage that? I've been in Barnes Village for two days and didn't even notice."

"Probably the same as us, they couldn't stand the oppression in Barnes Village, could they?"

"That's true. It's hard for us villagers to leave Barnes Village, but it's even harder for professionals. The recent restrictions resulted in many mercenary teams earning less, failing to get good tasks at the Task Center. Their leaving is only natural."

"And the soldiers, everyone knows the Territory War is in couple of days, and with the weakened strength of Barnes Village, their personal safety can't be guaranteed. To avoid becoming cannon fodder, of course they want to leave."

"Although that's true, the fact that Hope Village could sway them is pretty impressive. Altogether, there must be about two thousand people, right?"

"When they left, they didn't have to turn over their assets, did they?"

"Personal assets don't get turned over, but their property in Barnes Village, like houses or shops, those are probably gone. Don't they find that regrettable?"

"Given the abilities of professionals, buying and selling houses in the villages is relatively easy for them."

"Anyway, it's the strong appeal of Hope Village."

"With so many people going to Hope Village, I feel even more reassured now."

"Why is that?"

"Hope Village has to settle us well! Only if we're well settled can we be loyal to Hope Village."

"Hope Village was going to take care of us anyway! My younger brother's family is in Hope Village. He had someone send me a letter, and the Hope Village he describes is really good. My brother has no need to lie to me."

"What does it say?"

"As long as you're hardworking, regardless of whether you're old or young, or whether you're physically able, you can have a good life in Hope Village. And once you become a resident, you also get to enjoy multiple benefits, the most important being children attending school. This is also what attracts me to settle down."

"I've heard about this, and a lot of people have recognized it."

"Hearing you say this, I'm getting a bit hopeful myself."

"Who isn't hopeful?"

"..."

As ordinary humans, wanting to migrate a territory is extremely difficult.

However, this time, people from another territory actively took care of their migration, freeing them from worries. Just thinking about it gave them peace of mind.

While the residents were still discussing fervently, people from the subsequent groups quickly joined up with those they were familiar with.

At this moment, Zhong Yongnian, Yun Juncai, Watt, Ellis, Brooke, Li Xingteng, Heidi, and Alike all met up.

"You guys really outdid yourselves this time," Li Xingteng immediately gave Zhong Yongnian's group a thumbs up upon meeting.

He hadn't calculated in detail, but after a rough estimate, he had a general idea of the population size—it had reached at least three thousand.

Even though the population migration in Hope Village was also very fast, it was impossible to add more than three thousand people in two days, especially when most of them were professionals. What a terrifying figure that was!

He felt this time when he returned, some people's contributions might just go through the roof!

Of course, the benefits to Hope Village were obvious. Hope Village was now even closer to reaching Hope Town's required population.

"It's all thanks to everyone's cooperation," Zhong Yongnian said directly, "We only realized after entering that the situation inside Barnes Village was more severe than we had imagined. Who would have thought that a Lord would be so harsh on the residents of his own territory?"

Yes, the word Zhong Yongnian used was harsh, because he felt that in Viscount Robin's eyes, the residents of the territory were just his tools, meant to follow the path he had plotted out.

Little did he know, as long as someone is human, they will have their own thoughts.

"Those who commit too many injustices will bring about their own demise," Yun Juncai also made a fitting remark on the side.
