Chapter 281: Chapter 173: Calabash Brothers Save Grandpa, String by String_2While Charlot, who had walked a distance away, looked at the slightly loose pancake in her hand due to having bitten into it several times, she groaned and stuffed the whole thing into her mouth. After all, there was hardly anyone here who would care about her noble identity. Just as she was pondering this, she bumped into Zhou Bai and Ding Qiurou, who had just returned from the outside. Witnessing Charlot with her cheeks stuffed full, Zhou Bai couldn’t help but reveal a look of astonishment on her face. The reason for her astonishment was that she still remembered the first day she arrived, when the other party, clad in armor and riding a horse beast, had such an imposing and awe-inspiring appearance, towering over all with an obvious display of dominance, which was a stark contrast to the present. "Baron, you really do have quite the appetite!" Zhou Bai thought, teasing her directly. Charlot struggled to swallow the pancake in her mouth, took out a handkerchief in an elegant manner, and wiped the corners of her lips before saying, "Village Chief, have you just returned from outside?" It was her first time seeing a leader of a territory so proactive about leaving their domain, especially alone. It seemed that this time, the rewards had been significant! She could vaguely sense that Zhou Bai’s level had broken through again, reaching... Level 13? That was really quick! Zhou Bai had to be commended for this point, she had to admit her appreciation. Hard workers, no matter where they are placed, always command respect. "Yes, I was just about to grab something to eat!" Zhou Bai responded, glancing at the variety of foods in Charlot’s hand, and asked an additional question, "Baron, are you planning to leave?" Some things just aren’t as tasty when they’re packed up, and she packed so much; it could only be for eating on the road. "Yes, I’m leaving tomorrow morning," Charlot nodded. "Then, fair winds to you on your journey." After saying this, Zhou Bai was ready to go and have a meal with Ding Qiurou. The next moment, she was stopped by Charlot. "Wait!" "Hmm?" "This time we came not only to bestow honors but also to observe these sudden territories that have popped up because it’s a mission, I will report everything I encountered here." Charlot said this hoping that Zhou Bai would be prepared. Zhou Bai paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Right, I understand." Zhou Bai’s calm response left Charlot somewhat puzzled, "Aren’t you afraid? Your territory holds quite a few valuable things." "What’s the use of fear? Even if someone covets what we have, they’ll have to do it through a fair and square Territory War, and we won’t shrink back from a Territory War," Zhou Bai said firmly, "Also, I believe we won’t be the only case!" Not a unique case? Charlot’s gaze flickered, thinking of the thousands of territories that appeared alongside Hope Village. Did Zhou Bai mean that there wouldn’t be just one territory like Hope Village? "Exactly where are you all from..." Charlot trailed off, finding their appearance and thoughts to be all too different. "There’s no need to worry about where we come from; just know that we are now part of your Human Clan Kingdom," Zhou Bai replied directly. Their world, it seemed, might never be accessible again! Listening, Charlot looked at Zhou Bai and said, "Perhaps your Hope Village won’t be an exception, but I think it will definitely be the most unique one. I look forward to seeing the future of your territory." After finishing her statement, Charlot walked past them. Ding Qiurou turned back to look and said to Zhou Bai, "What does that mean? I feel like there was some ambiguity in her last sentence." If she had a good opinion of their territory, she should have been hopeful, not just "waiting to see." After contemplating for a moment, Zhou Bai replied, "She probably feels our territory has potential, but whether potential turns into strength depends on the future development of our territory." With so many valuable resources in the territory, promoting them would surely lead to good sales, but correspondingly, other territories would eye these goods. The goods belonged to the territory; they couldn’t be seized. The only legitimate way was through a Territory War. A Territory War could plunder the resources of a territory. If Hope Village couldn’t defend itself, everything they had would just be preparing a dowry for someone else. Such a situation, she would never allow! "Could that mean a lot of trouble?" Ding Qiurou also felt the danger upon further thought. Zhou Bai looked at the concerned Ding Qiurou and reassured her, "Yes! But compared to lagging behind and taking a beating, we prefer high risk with high rewards, and we’re all working hard!" The territory was now effectively split into two parts. One part, led by businessmen like Zhong Yongnian, was striving to make money. The other part, consisting of soldiers like her father and some who valued strength, was working hard to enhance their abilities. seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
