Chapter 242: Chapter 150: They Found Home!Inside the Lord Mansion. Newcomers poured in one after another, forming a long line at the resident registration desk on the left side, while a number of people were checking the bulletin board on the right side. The bulletin board was clearly divided into several sections; they looked left and right and finally focused their attention on the recruitment and purchasing notices. These two were fundamental for them to settle and establish a life in the territory. "Recruiting construction workers, this seems feasible." "I can also farm." "I’m familiar with breeding!" "..." On the scene, bursts of excited voices rose one after another. They had considered that the personnel recruited by the Lord’s territory would have prerequisites, and it might be beyond their capabilities, but they didn’t expect these jobs to be simpler than they had imagined. Finding a job in the territory to support themselves and their families was truly the safest option. At that moment, as they envisioned a hopeful future, their wandering hearts seemed to instantly settle down. However, after making up their minds, many people suddenly realized one thing. "How many people does the territory employ?" "There are so many of us!" "We don’t know the selection criteria, what if..." "..." Discussing this, the faces of those who had felt hopeful darkened once again. Yes, no one knew whether the competition would be intense or if they would be left disappointed if not selected.

Hanging it up means they still need people. Instead of worrying about whether we can make it, we should hurry and register." Amid the crowd, Brooke, having heard their discussions, sarcastically retorted. When you’re extremely hungry and someone brings a bowl of food to your face, making sure it’s not poisoned by tasting it first, would you still consider their ulterior motives? That’s foolish. Brooke’s voice carried a slight chill. Seeing this, his wife Lola quickly tugged on his shirt, "Brooke, don’t be like this." They had left Barnes Village because Brooke’s straightforwardness had offended people. Now that they were in a new territory, it was better to stay low-key! Listening, Brooke patted his wife’s hand soothingly, his tone becoming calmer, "I’m just offering a friendly reminder." He was just a little impatient with these people for being overly cautious. It could be said that Hope Village and the village chief had laid out all possibilities for them. Compared to other territories, this place was exceptionally welcoming. Because he recognized the value of Hope Village, he felt indignant when he saw others looking at the territory with their old perspectives. The others didn’t get too upset though, as Brooke’s points were indeed valid. "Thanks for the reminder." The next moment, everyone began to register in droves. And the number of people who had completed their information and joined the registration line was increasing. The entire Lord Mansion grew a bit noisier in that instant. "Are you going to register?" Lola saw that the others had shifted their attention away from Brooke and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t want history to repeat itself and she quite liked Hope Village. She felt that the territory was as its name suggested—full of hope. "These jobs, though safe, just ensure sustenance. I hope you all can live better days. I will join the Professionals’ team to hunt Demon Beasts and gather resources outside. The purchasing price listed here is very reasonable and unlimited," Brooke whispered. Moreover, he was a man, and he also hoped to make his own career. He had a feeling that here, it would be a significant turning point in his life. He had to seize it! Lola looked at Brooke and saw the determination in his eyes, her lips curled slightly, "I support you!" "I saw there are also some jobs that might suit you. You can give them a try," Brooke said, not the type to confine his wife to the home. Recently in Hope Village, he noticed that there were many female Professionals in the territory. They were all vibrant, exuding a different kind of energy. If they were young women, he wouldn’t be surprised, since being a Professional, regardless of gender, was a matter of pride. However, he saw quite a few older women among them—some were not Professionals, yet still they appeared relaxed. This was something he could not see among ordinary residents in other territories. So he had just paid special attention and saw that there were many suitable jobs for women, as those specifically requiring men would state "only men," and those not stated would thus mean both men and women could apply, right? He hoped that his wife could also become one of them. Even if he were to accidentally encounter an accident in the future, she would be able to survive with their children. Most importantly, he hoped she could live more comfortably. What was not possible in Barnes Village might be possible in Hope Village. "Can I do it?" Lola asked somewhat unconfidently. "Yes," Brooke affirmed, yet Zhou Bai’s image surfaced in his mind. That was an exceptional woman! "Then I’ll give it a try!" Lola’s expression was eager. "Father, mother, I’m hungry." Just as the couple was envisioning their future, the soft voice of their child Rijef sounded by their ears. The couple returned to reality and then said, "Let’s go eat." Moments later, the family of three arrived at the restaurant. They had come to the restaurant because they heard the prices here were cheap. But when they actually arrived and saw the rich variety of dishes, they were somewhat bewildered. Not for any other reason but because they simply did not recognize what these vibrant foods were. Seeing their confused looks, one of the aunties at the window said with a smile, "Since it’s busy today, for convenience, vegetarian dishes are 2 copper coins, and meat dishes are 3 copper coins, this side has vegetarian, the other side has meat, rice is 1 copper coin per person, and soup is free." Brooke had known the food here would be cheap, but he hadn’t expected it to be this cheap, which left him somewhat dazed. "How many meat and how many vegetarian dishes?" the auntie reminded. "Two of each please! You pick." Hearing this, Brooke quickly snapped back to attention. "Alright, then I’ll give you soy pork, pork chops, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and dried tofu, that’s 12 copper coins in total." The auntie said as she plated the food, and by the time she finished talking, she had already served it all on the plates. "Isn’t it 13 copper coins?" Brooke asked. "The child is so young, there’s no charge for him," the auntie said, and casually added, "The territory also has a rule that children without parents eat free at restaurants." After listening, Brooke walked away with his wife and child. They sat at a public dining table nearby and looked at the delicious meals in front of them; Brooke’s heart grew even more conflicted. "Let’s eat!" after a while, Brooke finally said. "Okay." Lola nodded, understanding Brooke’s feelings because she felt the same. Subsequently, the family of three began to eat. With the first bite, their tastebuds were instantly conquered. And inside the restaurant, the gathering crowd grew, and like Brooke’s family, they were instantly charmed. After a satisfying meal, Brooke’s family headed toward the residential area. They were not the only ones. They were somewhat nervous as they entered the residential area. Could they find a suitable place here tonight? Would the residents of Hope Village jack up the prices? Or perhaps there were no houses left to accommodate them. Step by step, thought by thought, everyone’s minds started to wander. Thinking about the vast changes from the morning until now. As they got closer to where the homes were located, and they had just approached, many people came up to them, warmly greeting them. "Renting a house? We have single rooms, double rooms, and family rooms." "Rent right away, you can move in immediately." "Single room only 100 copper coins, double room 120 copper coins, family room 150 copper coins." "..." Upon hearing the prices, everyone was once again stupefied. And within the crowd, Brooke’s tightly furrowed brow unconsciously relaxed. A little while later, after settling into a detached house, Brooke and Lola exchanged a knowing smile. They had found a home!
