Chapter 171: Chapter 103: Where Did It Come From?The 36th day of the apocalypse. Hope Village. At the break of dawn, the entire territory started moving like a well-oiled machine, with people gradually becoming active within it. "Good morning." "Are you off to open your store?" "Yes, if it weren’t for the need to get ready early at the shop, I wouldn’t have to get up so early." "Right, if it was for work, I could sleep in a little longer." "That’s the nature of business." "I envy you business people, you must earn quite a bit in a day! Sadly, I’m not skilled, otherwise, I would also invest in opening a store." "I envy you Combat System Professionals who have enough ability to protect yourselves." "Each has its advantages!" "But now it’s good, the territory has a training ground, and I think I can practice my skills there. Once I gain more courage within the territory, I can try hunting Demon Beasts." "..." Everyone walked and chatted, splitting up at the crossroads. A small portion of people headed towards the trading area and the shops, while another portion continued towards the Lord Mansion. It had become a habit for them to check daily at the Lord Mansion for the resources the territory needed. Time and again, they understood that in this world, besides personal strength, the power of the territory was extremely important. Take, for instance, the recent combat against the Beastman Territory—if the territory hadn’t had strong enough defensive power to withstand the Beastmen head-on, even as Professionals, they might have become souls under the enemy’s blade. Inside the Lord Mansion, the bulletin board’s section for resource purchasing was constantly updating. [Purchasing wood, 1 copper coin/unit] [Purchasing stone, 2 copper coins/unit] [Purchasing various blueprints, 1 Gold Coin] [Purchasing various mineral resources, 100 copper coins/unit] [Purchasing seeds] [Purchasing Demon Beast cubs] [...] After confirming everything, many people directly moved to the public notice boards outside to check private purchasing information and information on Demon Beasts nearby the territory. All information exchange of the entire territory was concentrated in this area. Those who remained on site were mostly new Residents. They knew very well that if they wanted to survive in a new territory, they had to thoroughly understand the information within the territory. Lindsay was among those new Residents. Searᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After memorizing all the purchasing information, he then turned and left. After leaving the Lord Mansion, he immediately found a team urgently in need of gatherers, finalized the team and departure time, and then headed to the restaurant. After packing up some plain porridge and steamed buns, Lindsay went straight home. "You’re back? How was it? Did you find any work today?" Karen asked her returning husband. "I’ve decided to go out gathering with a team today. The copper coins offered for the job postings were too low to support our family," Lindsay replied directly. "But that’s too dangerous! You are just a Life Professional with hardly any combat power!" Karen said, holding their child, her voice filled with subconscious concern. It was true that she and the child had weighed him down. After arriving at Hope Village, her body hadn’t held up well, and she fell ill. She had visited the Hospital, and a Doctor had restored her Life Value, but she couldn’t regain her full strength as her body was too weak; she could only recuperate. "Don’t worry, just wait for me at home," Lindsay said resolutely. "This place is different from our previous territory. I will be going out with other combat teams, they will handle the Demon Beasts, and we just need to focus on gathering. Luckily, as a Life Professional, I have an Intermediate Collection Skill, which allows me to gather more resources and receive higher compensation." Lindsay spoke, his eyes filled with hope. In his previous territory, life as a Life Professional wasn’t this easy for him. He would follow the team out, and his reward was only one-fifth of what he gets now, while the cost of living was still several times higher than it is here. Therefore, he was quite willing to go out with the team to collect resources. Upon hearing this, Karen’s countenance noticeably softened. Indeed, although Hope Village was just a village, the overall environment was truly too friendly to them. Initially, they had worried that they would not be able to survive in Hope Village without anything, but unexpectedly, just in one day, they had a house to live in and normal food to eat. Thinking of this, Karen could only support Lindsay, "Then you must be careful, remember, your daughter and I are waiting for you at home!" "Mhm, I know." Lindsay nodded, then his gaze fell on Roland, Karen’s daughter in her arms. Little Roland was very frail, her originally fair skin had long become sallow due to malnutrition, and she was languid, lacking in vigor. The next moment, Lindsay placed the packed food on the small table, and said directly, "I’ve packed the things already, eat something first." "Alright," Karen responded, then took the plain congee and began to feed her daughter. Little Roland’s eyes lit up at the sight of the food and she started eating in small bites. Watching this scene, Lindsay became even more determined. He had to work hard, strive to earn money, and provide a good life for his wife and daughter. Similar scenes were happening in every corner of the residential area, having faced many hardships before, now that they had come across Hope Village, they naturally knew to cherish it, and would work even harder. ** Compared to the hustle and bustle of the new and old residents of the territory, Zhou Bai found herself in a rare state of relaxation. Of course, this relaxation was in terms of dealing with the affairs of the territory. Previously, she as the Lord had to personally handle everything, spending a lot of time each day on the operation panel, but this was no longer necessary as the development of the territory had gotten on the right track. For instance, regarding recruitment information, the Human Resources Management staff would ask the heads of each building in the territory if they were short of people, and then edit and complete the recruitment notice in the evening, to be announced the next day. Regarding purchase information, the Commercial Management Office’s staff would contact Ding Qiurou, the warehouse manager, to see which resource was in short supply and they would increase procurement. If there was an excess, they would also join forces with the shops in the territory and sell directly to others, acting as a middleman. Regarding the salaries of the territory staff and soldier team members, the Finance Management Office’s staff would calculate them, and she as the Lord would only need to confirm the disbursement on the Lord panel. As for the daily tasks of the soldier team, the Military Management’s staff would review the situation in the territory and submit a report to Bayer, the Commander, for distribution. ... In short, Zhou Bai as the Lord, had become someone who only needed to manage the overarching direction. Now, having reviewed the content she needed to handle, she began to plan the next steps for the territory—understanding the surrounding territories and dispatching merchant teams to trade with other territories. This plan had already been considered before the Territory War. Now that the war had concluded and Hope Village had nearly a month of a truce, the entire environment was stable, making it the perfect time for this endeavor. This time, she was planning to go along with them. Especially to Bengala Town. Through this native town, she hoped to quickly understand the dynamics of the territories on the Stan Continent. She hadn’t forgotten what Bayer mentioned: even if one couldn’t conquer, there were always some people who could control other territories through special means. If she didn’t want her own territory to be dominated by others in the future, she needed to learn more about the national conditions of the Stan Continent, as firsthand information was always more reliable than what she heard from others. Besides Bengala Town, teams also needed to be dispatched to visit other native territories. While planning, Zhou Bai decided to release this activity directly as a mission, officially forming one team, while other participants would be on a voluntary basis. Many teams in the territory likely wouldn’t miss this opportunity. Eventually, information about the surrounding territories centering around Hope Village would be completely within her grasp, and through these territories, she could also learn about those around them, step by step expanding her reach. The more she knew, the better the prospects for Hope Village to establish itself on the Stan Continent. Just as Zhou Bai was carefully considering how to release the mission, her control panel suddenly received several notifications in rapid succession. [Lord of Hope Village, refugees have entered the territory of Hope Village. Please prepare to accommodate them quickly.] [Resident Ellis from Sorrel Town has entered Hope Village as a tourist.] [Resident Bernard from Sorrel Town has entered Hope Village as a tourist.] [...] As she looked at the notifications, Zhou Bai couldn’t help but start thinking. Refugees were a routine matter, there would always be some taken in, but where did this Sorrel Town come from?
