Chapter 141: Chapter 083: Where Did They Come From?Overlord Village. Since the last battle with Hope Village, Overlord Village could very well be described as severely weakened. Fortunately, the constant arrival of new residents allowed Ke Gaojie to take a breather, as the territory gradually regained its vitality. Because of this, however, he now dared not upgrade the territory to Level 2, for he was well aware that with their current strength, they couldn’t pass the upgrade test for a Level 2 village. Every time he thought of this, he couldn’t help but think of Hope Village, of the special building, the Beast God Temple, and half of the goods from the warehouse that he had lost. And with every thought, nothing but hatred filled his heart. But no matter how much he hated, at this moment, he could only return to reality. "Lord, it’s bad news, the residents can’t sell their materials to the system anymore." Everyone had been mentally prepared for some changes with the end of the Newbie Protection Period, watching the countdown every day. What they had not expected was that the function to sell items back to the system would be gone. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Most of their residents relied on hunting and gathering resources and then selling them to the system to earn copper coins, which allowed them to reside in the territory for the long term. If they could no longer sell to the system, they’d lose a vital source of income, which would be a disaster for them. And upon hearing this news, Ke Gaojie also thought of the notice he had just received. With a glance, he noticed that the System Store was also gone. This didn’t bother him much, as the materials in the System Store were too expensive, and he only purchased from there in times of urgent need. But if the residents could no longer sell to the system, then they could only sell to him. He could buy low and sell high later, earning a decent margin and turning the entire territory into a market controlled purely by himself. Thinking this way, a smile crept onto Ke Gaojie’s face as he said to his subordinate who had come to him, "If the system doesn’t buy, I will." A while later, the Lord Mansion of the territory had already opened the announcement for the purchase of materials and equipment. The residents of Overlord Village felt relieved at first; although the system purchasing was gone, the territory was still buying. But when they saw the purchase price, they were stunned. "That’s half the price the system used to offer!" "The prices are too low!" "At this rate, it will take twice as long to earn enough money as before." "That’s a rip-off!" "..." Yet, something even more outrageous was yet to come. "Damn, the Lord is too inhumane! The price of equipment has gone up by 50%." "The purchase price drops by half, and equipment prices go up by half, why doesn’t he just rob us!" "What can we do? Now we can only sell to the territory, and the copper coins we get from killing demon beasts aren’t enough to survive here!" "..." Inside the territory, there were complaints everywhere. "Brother Tang, this Ke Gaojie is going too far!" "It was already harsh, and now it’s even harsher! We used to maintain a balance, but at this rate, we’ll eventually run into financial problems." "Our equipment needs to be replaced regularly. If we don’t replace it, the worn-out gear will prevent us from earning any money." "..." Others in Tang Junliang’s team voiced their deep disdain. The team leader, Tang Junliang, listened but his gaze was fixed on the map. After this event, his map had updated with a new location—Hope Village. Remembering the scene when Overlord Village had attempted to take over but had instead been taken advantage of, Tang Junliang spoke, "I’m planning to leave!" It wasn’t a thought; it was a decision! The place went silent at once. After a long pause, someone asked, "Where to?" "Hope Village. Ling Mingzhi and the others are there," Tang Junliang said directly. Memories surged back for the others. They, too, had wanted to stay there but had returned because their families were in Overlord Village. Now that Overlord Village was impossible to live in, what was wrong with leaving! "Brother Tang, we will follow you!" ** Yuxi Village. Bei Wenkang was looking at his refreshed control panel, his face somewhat pale. The disappearance of the System Store was a huge blow to him. Because he had just spent a great deal of money on increasing buildings in his territory, striving to catch up to Hope Village. It must be said that because of these actions, the hearts of the residents of the territory had become much steadier, although some people still mentioned Hope Village from time to time, fewer and fewer talked about leaving Yuxi Village. If this development continued, his Yuxi Village would only become stronger. But now, just after he had poured all his savings into buildings and upgrades, especially the walls, which he had upgraded to city walls, the consecutive upgrades had emptied his personal account. At this moment, the cessation of the System Store and the system’s buyback meant a financial crisis for him. With the residents having less money, his revenue would decrease, and the entire operation of the territory would be affected. Bei Wenkang felt a bit of regret. He regretted acting rashly out of spite without considering the realities. However, frustration and regret were brief; Bei Wenkang could only work hard to find a solution to this hidden danger. Calculating, there were nearly a thousand people in the territory, and the Gold Coins in everyone’s hands should add up to a considerable amount. If he could collect them all, it would definitely get the territory’s economy flowing again. But the problem was that the System was no longer buying materials, so the residents of the territory would only cling to their money more tightly, preferring to barter goods instead. Although this was also a solution, in the long run, it was too detrimental to the territory! Stabilizing the hearts of the territory’s residents and making them willing to spend money in the territory was still necessary. What he could do now was to seek external assistance. External assistance... That meant that pesky Hope Village. He had to personally lead a team there, sell the excess goods of the territory, and then bring back some Silver Equipment. As for why he wouldn’t send someone else, he was worried about one thing... that was people running away and not coming back, for people from Hope Village were too good at tempting and swaying others. Therefore, he had to go himself and also choose those whose families were in Yuxi Village. Thinking of this, Bei Wenkang immediately started to prepare for the trip. ** Qinghe Village. Upon receiving the notification that the Newbie Protection Period had ended and the System buyback was canceled, the Blacksmith Shops in the territory stopped selling weapons, and as a result, there was no longer any Iron Ore in stock. The Lord of Qinghe Village had never considered that the System Store would disappear, since they rarely hoarded goods, making things as needed, after all, Iron Ore was indeed not cheap. But with the sudden disappearance of Iron Ore, weapons and Equipment could no longer be made. The small amount of hoarded goods had to be reserved for himself and his soldier team; he couldn’t manage others. And this very action directly led to chaos throughout the territory. Brazenly, there were people who had started to rob within the territory. "Daddy, save me." The girl cried out loud, her expression full of fear. "Let go of my daughter, what exactly do you want? I don’t think I’ve provoked you." The man clenched his fists tightly, anxiously saying. "Hand over your Silver Equipment." Hearing this, the man was taken aback; how could they know? "Don’t worry about how I know. I’m sure you have it, hand it over, and I’ll let your daughter go, otherwise..." While speaking, the man’s fingertips rubbed the girl’s face a few times, smirking lewdly. The man’s complexion changed slightly, recalling the women in the other party’s team, he clenched his fists, "Give my daughter back to me, and I’ll give it to you." The man looked at him and still pushed the girl over. They had enough women; Silver Equipment was more important. Now that there were no more Silver Weapons in the territory, he needed to stockpile more, otherwise without weapons, how could he ensure his team’s advantage? Seeing this, the man still took out the Silver Equipment. Since people knew about it, his Silver Equipment was not safe anyway, better to abandon it for peace of mind! But from that moment on, he would no longer trust anyone, not even comrades with whom he shared life and death! Having taken the Silver Equipment, the man led his team to target others immediately. And as many people saw this, they began to copy the behavior. A territory that was somewhat orderly until now collapsed into disorder from that moment on. ... Some territories were safe and sound, some leveraged the situation to amass wealth, some worked hard to solve problems, while others lost order... Similar situations repeated across numerous Blue Star Territories. Without a doubt, they proved one thing. Territories that had prepared in advance for the end of the Newbie Protection Period could easily rise with the tide and move forward. Territories that couldn’t withstand change would be eliminated amidst all the various transformations! And while these new territories were continuously adapting to change, the controllers of various Races on the Stan Continent were struck dumb by the sudden emergence of a massive number of territories today! On Stan Continent, several thousand territories had appeared in one breath? Where had they all come from?
