I Become a Landlady in the Game World

[Condition 1: Population reaches 20,000 (met)]

[Condition 2: Territory buildings reach 16 (met)]

[Condition 3: Lord reaches lv.20 (met)]

[All upgrade conditions 1,2,3 met, territory can be promoted.]

[Dear Host, would you like to upgrade the level 3 village to a level 1 town?]

When Pavel and the majority of his team had completed their registration, Zhou Bai received a reminder from the system.

Looking at finally being able to promote to a town, Zhou Bai couldn't help but rejoice.

Hope Village could finally be upgraded to a town at any time.

After much reluctance, Zhou Bai still temporarily paused the thought of upgrading.

With only about 13 days left until the next Territory War, upgrading now would mean participating in two battles within just 13 days, including facing well-established towns in the Territory War.

She decided to take it slow.

She also wanted to see whether Fasal Village would still choose Hope Village without upgrading to a town.

Regardless of whether they chose Hope Village or not, Zhou Bai had decided to upgrade Hope Village after the next Territory War.

Originally, she thought of delaying the upgrade due to the fear of aggressive territories.

However, as Hope Village developed, the entire territory became increasingly stronger, and she felt that waiting was merely consuming Hope Village's own development.

If she delayed now out of fear, would she have to delay in fear in the future too?

Rather than fearing, she decided to face it.

She had to trust her own territory, including all the residents who would try their best to protect their home.

This power was infinite.

Of course, the most important thing was, she and Hope Village now had money!

There would be one more month after upgrading to a town.

This month's time was enough to make adequate preparations for defending the city.

That settled it! Upgrade after the Territory War.

Having made her decision, Zhou Bai chose to decline.

As Zhou Bai declined, there was a knock on the door of the office.

Bayer entered from outside.

"What's up?" Zhou Bai asked.

"The contribution leaderboard has been updated, and I've seen a few promising new entries," Bayer said straightforwardly.

"Are you referring to Pavel and others from Barnes Village?" Zhou Bai asked.

"Yes, they were soldiers back in Barnes Village; they could also join the soldier team here in Hope Village," Bayer said directly, "You previously seemed to have given Zhong Yongnian the authority to let them join the soldier team of Hope Village after a trial period. Now, after looking at their data, I think you could personally invite them, which could enhance their sense of belonging to Hope Village."

With more than three thousand people joining Hope Village, how could he not notice? After noticing, he now hoped that Zhou Bai would integrate these people under her command as soon as possible.

Listening, Zhou Bai nodded, "Hmm, I was planning to check on them myself."

The arrival of these people has raised Hope Village's territory ranking, enough to prove their capabilities.

For Zhou Bai, the Lord, having more professionals in the territory was naturally good.

"What about the other residents? How are they adjusting?" Zhou Bai asked.

"They registered first, found places to live after registering, and would know how to live well in Hope Village just by moving around a bit," Bayer didn't pay much attention.

In the beginning, when people arrived at Hope Village, there were staff to arrange everything, but as the territory developed and the population increased, for these new residents, they were simply allowed to integrate on their own.

Hope Village already had a complete system of treatment for residents; as long as they followed the rules of Hope Village, they could easily integrate. Where did they need to exert much effort? Bayer rarely paid attention to how new residents were doing.

After all, such a good living environment in Hope Village was truly generous for the residents.

"Okay." Zhou Bai just asked casually and then left the office with Bayer.

At the same time, she also pulled up the information on Pavel and others.

At this moment, Pavel and his group were indeed considering their next steps.

Some ordinary residents found guides, some explored on their own, most decided to find jobs within the territory, and those who wanted to strive to become professionals were preparing to follow the Mercenary Team.

Lucian and Maimaiti's Mercenary Team went to the Mercenary Center to register, led by Zhong Yongnian and others, and also connected emotionally, preparing for future large-scale activities in the territory.
