I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Hope Village.

Zhou Bai didn't know that Fasal Village had already sent people, but even if she had known, she wouldn't have cared.

After all, she was well aware that as the territory rose, entanglements with other territories would become increasingly common; in the end, it was merely a matter of whether a territory could protect its own "property."

At least for now, she was quite confident in Hope Village.

Because after Hope Village was upgraded, it visibly became stronger.

Yesterday, after everyone had dealt with the Beast Tide, it was late, and though they took the opportunity to understand the new layout of Hope Village, they weren't very familiar with the new buildings.

So, early in the morning, right after waking up, many people in the territory started touring it again.

While they were touring, Zhou Bai also began walking around the territory with Bayer.

She wanted to see the results of her own creation and get an overall grasp of the current situation in the territory.

The first place Zhou Bai and Bayer visited was the Task Center and the Mercenary Center.

Essentially, the function of the Task Center was the same as that of the Heroic Spirit Hall and the Beast God Temple, all belonging to the summoning category.

The difference was that the Task Center summoned any mercenary or mercenary team from the Stan Continent.

Therefore, upon entering the Task Center, one could see that it was equipped with its own Transmission Array.

"When do you think it's appropriate for our territory to hire mercenaries from other territories?" Zhou Bai asked Bayer.

Currently, the development of Hope Village had entered a rapid phase, and with some people from the Beastman side voluntarily joining, she had indeed reduced the summoning of Undead and Beastmen. Firstly, it was to control costs and secondly, she felt the input did not match the output.

But this new special building, the Task Center, was different—it interconnected with other territories of the Human Clan Kingdom, and summoning mostly revolved around single tasks.

And mercenaries were the most unstable profession in this world, choosing to serve territories that bring them benefits, thus, their mobility was also the strongest.

Like those from the mercenary teams in Bengala Town, now all contributing to the goods from Hope Village in different territories!

Their presence eased a difficult point in selling goods for Hope Village.

Now, if they could publish tasks through the Task Center, Hope Village's communication channels with the outside world would instantly increase, which was something Zhou Bai was looking forward to, but she wasn't sure when it would be appropriate.

"Whenever the village chief thinks it's appropriate, then it's appropriate," Bayer answered without hesitation, his eyes showing affirmation.

Zhou Bai: "..."

She realized that the territory had reached a point where whatever she did, basically no one would oppose but instead support her strongly.

One reason was that she was the covert lord, and the second was that she had proven her decision-making through the development of Hope Village.

Thinking this, Zhou Bai nodded her head, didn't say much, and then proceeded to the second location with Bayer.

Compared to the Task Center, which only had a few people gathered to look at the building, the Mercenary Center was genuinely packed.

Previously, since the territory didn't have such a building, teams were formed on an ad hoc basis, and personnel would flow in and out.

But now that they had a Mercenary Center, they could form official mercenary teams.

Who wouldn't like to openly establish their own power!

"Over here, those from Tiger Dominator Group, come here to register."

"Left side for individual registrations, right side for team registrations, everyone, don't mix them up!"

"Haha, once I'm registered, I'm officially a mercenary."

"Yes, I heard that official mercenaries can not only take tasks from their own territories but also from other territories!"

"I'd actually like to visit other territories if there's a chance."

"Me too!"

"Just not sure how mercenaries are rated? Is it by level?"

"I don't know, we'll just go to the rating room later. I see most people are just Junior Mercenaries."

"One step at a time!"

"I heard not only mercenaries can undergo mercenary promotions, Mages can too, and even those with Dual-class professions are more popular in the mercenary market."

"Then I might as well register too!"

"It's just 100 copper coins to register an identity."

"Just 200 copper coins, no big deal."

"Forming a team actually costs 100 silver coins, plus registration fees for the personnel, it's quite a bit of money."

"It's a must, if there were no standards, there'd be mercenary teams everywhere, and that wouldn't make them special."

"..."

Hearing this, Bayer glanced at Zhou Bai; he had thought...
