Chapter 293: Chapter 178: What is so attractive about Hope Village?_2After finishing speaking to them, he turned to Hudson, "Here in Hope Village, we treat visitors as warmly as spring. You’ll know once you stay longer; don’t worry! In Hope Village, you definitely won’t face any life-threatening dangers. By the way, do you want something to eat? Our shop’s specialty right now is hot and sour noodles. How about trying that?" Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "...Mm." Hudson, although keenly aware of the different attitude the store owner showed them, had to bow his head under the eaves, and in the end, he accepted the offer. Then he found a secluded spot to sit down and started observing the surroundings. After the incident just now, everyone continued to dig into their food. At the table next to his, there were two people using two sticks to fish around in their bowls, and soon they lifted out some clear noodles, which were quickly stuffed into their mouths. Without even two bites, the rest of the noodles slipped back into the bowl. Could those wooden sticks actually pick up anything? Subconsciously, Hudson took two sticks out of a bamboo tube on the table and started to try using them, imitating others, but it seemed he couldn’t really get the hang of it. While Hudson was attempting to use the sticks, the hot and sour noodles arrived. There was also a fork provided. Looking at the chopsticks in Hudson’s hands, the server smiled, "You’re certainly not used to these chopsticks, it’s hard to eat with them, just use the fork!" "Mm." Hudson, without changing his expression, set the chopsticks aside and began eating with the fork. The moment he forked up a piece of noodle and put it into his mouth, Hudson’s expression changed. This was a flavor he had never tasted before, the sourness of fruit, spicy stimulation, a slight sweetness and saltiness—these four flavors were a perfect combination. He never imagined that so many different flavors mixed together could be so exhilarating, leaving a tingling numbness on his tongue. After pausing for a few seconds, Hudson started wolfing down his food. The noodles in the bowl were quickly devoured, and the oily soup was gulped down noisily. After he finished eating, although his mouth felt as if it were on fire, his whole body felt particularly comfortable. Delightful! Such food was stimulating, whether eaten in summer or in winter! "How much do I owe you?" Hudson then went to pay. "Six copper coins." "So cheap!" Hudson exclaimed in disbelief. The price was truly beyond his expectations. "Our territory’s goods are always inexpensive; you’ll understand after experiencing it for a while," the owner said calmly, as such reactions were too common in the shop. Lately, there had been an increase in outsiders, especially the residents from more prosperous territories than Hope Village, who were shocked after seeing the prices here. If they didn’t make a decent profit at these prices and attract enough people, they would have really liked to raise the prices and sell them for more. "...Mm." Hudson nodded, a hint of peculiarity crossing his mind. Were the people leaving Barnes Village attracted to Hope Village by its cuisine and prices? After all, these two points were indeed very enticing. This thought surfaced, but Hudson quickly shook it off. It couldn’t be that simple! For Professionals, these points didn’t matter much, especially considering the distance between Hope Village and Barnes Village, which they could easily overcome. Even if some came here for these reasons, it wouldn’t result in the arrival of over a thousand people overnight, and even though many of them were ordinary Humans, these ordinary Humans were mostly family of Professionals, which made them extraordinary. Because a territory that could sustain Professionals and their families was undoubtedly seen as having great development potential in their eyes. Hope Village must have other attractions for Professionals to settle. He would try to gather some information while eating later on! Having decided, Hudson continued to explore the shops. However, it wasn’t long before Hudson realized he had been overthinking it. It was not possible to eat and gather information at the same time! The food was too delicious; meat pies, sausages, crispy pork, chicken wings... unheard-of delicacies completely occupied his head. He was immersed in the flavors and had no interest in listening to news. "Burp~" After finishing an oily dough stick, Hudson let out a long, satisfied belch. As he looked at the remaining half of the market he had yet to explore, a hint of regret flashed in Hudson’s eyes. He felt like he could eat more, but his belly was truly full. He would continue his feast later! With that thought, Hudson rubbed his stomach and continued on his way. This time, he was truly interested in listening to the local news. To avoid encountering residents from Barnes Village, he began to ask the original residents of Hope Village. After all, it was quite evident from their appearance. "Are there any fun places in Hope Village?" He grabbed someone and asked immediately. "Are you a visitor who has just arrived in Hope Village?" "Yes." "What do you want to know?" Hearing that the person was an outsider, the local perked up and asked back with enthusiasm. "A lot of people from my territory have chosen to settle in Hope Village. I came here just to join in the fun, but I want to know, what is it here that attracts people to settle down?" Hudson went straight to the point. Hearing what Hudson said, the person smiled and began to explain. "Come on, let me tell you, our territory has low prices, making it very suitable for living; not to mention the food, I dare say, no other territory can match our variety and richness of flavors. Of course, these aren’t the main points. The key is that our territory is friendly to people! For ordinary Humans, as long as they’re not bedridden, they can make a living here by themselves. For Professionals, the territory is safe enough, has potential, you can enjoy the delicious food, your families can live and work in peace and contentment, and for the children, there are future education provisions by the territory. Isn’t all of this enough to attract people?... In short, anyone who comes to Hope Village will definitely have a happy life." "Darling, do you want to come?" Hudson: "..."
