I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Hope Village was truly quite renowned in their part of the land, with many from the territory secretly bringing their teams there.

However, they only brought their teams there and could not act recklessly in that environment, which they were not accustomed to. But the goods from there were genuinely top-notch, so they still very much liked going there to feast.

When people first went to Hope Village, they even dared to rob, but in the end, they were beaten up badly and crammed into an apartment in Hope Village, where they were pressed into menial labor.

Once they knew that Hope Village was not a place where they could misbehave, the people from Qinghe Village would always behave themselves when they went there.

From this, it was evident that Hope Village was definitely a good place.

It just wasn't necessarily the right place for them.

Because he had to live in Qinghe Village, he agreed with Mou Anjiang's comments.

After ranting a bit himself, Mou Anjiang looked at the ever-rising Hope Village and then listlessly waved his hand.

He was no match for Hope Village and decided it was better to steer clear!

When initially influenced by Barnes Village, he was tempted, but after seeing Barnes Village looking down on him and going it alone and then witnessing it vanish from the map, he had learned his lesson.

Yet he still felt a slight sense of regret in his heart.

How wonderful it would have been if Hope Village was his!

San Sebastian.

"Hope Village's ranking has gone up by hundreds again, they must have made some gains somewhere," Harrington said to Charlot.

Since Charlot's return from knighting in Hope Village and learning about it, Harrington instinctively started paying attention to Hope Village.

Such attention brought quite the revelation, as he discovered the rapid pace of Hope Village's territorial ranking improvement, which was very noticeable among all other territories, including both the new territories and those originally of the Stan Continent.

Thus, after the previous major movements and expecting no significant changes within a short period, the sudden flurry of activity made Harrington somewhat concerned.

"It's not surprising that Hope Village has reached this level," Charlot said with a composed expression, having experienced so much in Hope Village that whatever happened there now seemed within the realm of normalcy to him.

"Aren't you curious about what happened in Hope Village?"

"It must be a joint operation with other territories to swallow up another territory," Charlot responded directly. He had also reviewed the list of territories, keeping an eye on some that had been friendly with Hope Village. This time he noticed that, aside from Hope Village, Ningshan Village and Glasgow Village had made substantial progress. Their recent advancements even surpassed Hope Village's, and by comparing the two, it wasn't hard to deduce the reason.

"Hope Village is also prepared to take the aggressive territorial route?" Harrington said instinctively.

"Impossible," Charlot flatly rejected Harrington's comment, "Given the development speed and model of Hope Village, this path doesn't suit them. It's very likely just a counterattack from Hope Village."

Listening to Charlot, Harrington raised an eyebrow, "You have a favorable impression of Hope Village?"

Charlot paused before replying directly, "Yes, I felt very comfortable there." Comfort that many territories couldn't provide.

"It seems I might also visit there if I get the chance," Harrington said outright.

"There will be an opportunity," Charlot said, although Hope Village was only a village now, it was only a matter of time before it became a town.

Harrington remained noncommittal, then as if something had occurred to him, he asked, "I heard you recently transferred two Holy-level Mages from your family?"

"Yes," Charlot nodded.

"That's a significant move. What did you do to make your family agree to support you?" Harrington inquired.

Charlot hesitated, then replied, "I'll tell you when it succeeds."

If it wasn't successful, speaking too soon would be embarrassing.

"Is it related to Hope Village?" Harrington said confidently.

"In a way, yes!" Charlot nodded, only by successfully obtaining certain items could he acquire Hope Village's cement.

After all, discarding the Magic Array to increase the defensive power of the walls was definitely a valuable thing.

Harrington listened and didn't ask further. Sometimes it was better to leave things unsaid.

But Hope Village was indeed a special place, and who knew what kind of changes it would bring to the world.

Lovisa City.

"Hope Village has climbed in the rankings again, its strength is growing stronger," Carl reported to Marquis Boyer, his voice almost lowered.
