I Become a Landlady in the Game World

In such a situation, it would be better for him to become a permanent resident, and then stay outside with these people for the time being, and look for suitable work during the day, gradually saving money.

As Finn spoke, none of the people in the cart offered any objections.

They were indeed stretched thin.

And hearing Finn's words, Tang Xiuwen said directly, "Most of you have a special status, and it's not safe to stay outside. There are merchant teams out there that deal in slave trading, and if you stay outside, you can easily be targeted."

Hearing Tang Xiuwen's words, many people's faces turned pale.

They had almost forgotten that the marks of slavery hadn't been removed from their bodies yet! If they were truly captured by slave traders, it would be difficult to regain their freedom.

"You don't need to worry too much, we do not have slaves in our territory, and within our territory, we absolutely do not allow slave traders to act wantonly. However, sometimes, when you can avoid trouble, it's best to do so," Tang Xiuwen quickly reassured them, and after calming them down, he added, "Of course, if you become tourists and then stay outside, no slave trader will dare to do anything to you."

Tang Xiuwen thought that they did not want to enter the city tonight, and reminded them specially.

But seeing how scared these people were, and realizing that he had misspoken, he quickly made amends.

Understanding the subtext in Tang Xiuwen's words, many people trembled slightly, looking at Tang Xiuwen with disbelief.

"Becoming tourists, can that remove the slave mark?" Finn took the initiative to ask on their behalf.

Hearing Finn's question, Tang Xiuwen paused for a moment, a glint of understanding flashing in his eyes, then he said with certainty, "Of course it can."

They had always known that there was a system of slavery in this world, but since they had never come into contact with it before, they hadn't taken it very seriously. However, as they had more interactions with other territories in this world and witnessed the plight of slaves, they became more aware of this world's "feudal" system.

With their territory's capacity, they could not contend with such a reality, so the only thing they could do was to not join in, not participate.

And in their territory, even goblins were not taken as slaves, let alone humans.

Finn, having received a positive answer, quickly said, "Is there a place outside the city gates where we can sell stone and wood? People may need to exchange for money first."

Hearing this, Tang Xiuwen was genuinely stunned.

They didn't even have 10 copper coins?

It was at that moment that he truly understood what Finn had meant before, and then he said directly, "That's fine, sell them directly to me! I'll buy them, I'll take them at the price of Barnes Village, and if that's not enough, I can lend you money. Once you find work, you can pay me back."

For more than three hundred people, it was just three silver coins, which to him was a drop in the bucket.

But for these more than three hundred people, it was the hope to rid themselves of the shackles of their identity.

Since it was he who had brought them from Barnes Village to Hope Village, this was their destiny together.

Tang Xiuwen's words instantly made Finn's eyes widen.

Once he realized what had been said, Finn's eyes reddened, "Thank you."

The others were too moved to speak.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of being in a Beast Cart, they would have knelt down to him.

"Don't mention it, if you can live well in Hope Village and contribute to Hope Village, that would be the greatest thanks to me," Tang Xiuwen said unconsciously.

"Hope Village is my home, its building is up to us all," this phrase, posted in the school and repeated in the children's words, had already spread throughout the territory and become a catchphrase for many.

And to him, it was even more familiar.

"Yes," Finn nodded heavily, already etching in his heart the great kindness of Tang Xiuwen and Hope Village.

Those around Finn, too, were filled with gratitude for Tang Xiuwen.

Perhaps sensing Tang Xiuwen's kindness, as the Beast Cart continued to move forward, Finn summoned the courage to continue asking, "Are there jobs in Hope Village that are suitable for us?"

"That depends on your own abilities. Hope Village's economy is thriving, and all kinds of jobs need people. They will also be recruiting regularly, so when the time comes, you can go check out the job postings yourselves. Before you find the right job, you can follow the Mercenary Team to gather resources like wood and stone in the wild! The territory will buy them, and with the money you earn, you'll have no problem getting enough to eat and drink, and you might even be able to save some. Once you have money and become permanent residents, you'll have access to even more benefits," Tang Xiuyuan replied, giving a simple introduction to the situation in Hope Village.
