Chapter 33: Chapter 026: This Territory is DifferentAt this time, Hope Village. As night fell, torches were lit throughout the territory, and watchtowers as well as city walls were all brightened by torches, illuminating the region. Zhou Bai had just returned from outside and was a bit surprised to see the torches on the city walls. As the Territory Lord, she really had no idea where the torches had come from. In contrast to other teams who moved in groups, the solitary figure of Zhou Bai was particularly striking. As soon as she appeared, Feng Lezhi, who was on duty, recognized her, "Back already?" They had all witnessed Zhou Bai's bravery, plus she was the daughter of their captain, Zhou Zhengping; it would be hard not to recognize her. "What are those torches?" Zhou Bai asked immediately. "A survivor named Meng Chengzhou made them last night. One torch can last for four hours. I saw him selling them and bought some. It's perfect for using as lights on the territory," Feng Lezhi said with a smile. "Thank you, seeing the territory so well-lit makes me feel better," Zhou Bai sincerely said. "The territory is our home; it's up to all of us to take care of it! It's nothing special doing something for one's own home," Feng Lezhi said directly, thinking of the salary the territory provided him every day—this bit of money really wasn't much. Another point was that he felt the territory had great potential. If he did something, the territory would surely remember his contribution, which would make future promotions easier. Zhou Bai smiled. No matter what the other's motives were, the main thing was that he had done it. After some small talk, Zhou Bai entered the territory. The clearing inside the territory had already become a small trading market. Meng Chengzhou, who made the torches, had become the deserved center of attention. Others had tried making torches, but they ended up as ordinary sticks burning too quickly; only his torches were different, capable of lasting for four hours. "How did you make these?" "Heh, my exclusive secret recipe." "Can you make it cheaper?" "Making these torches is time and labor-consuming, so I can't lower the price. I made 120 today in the territory, and now there are only over 60 left. Once others come back, they will sell even faster." "Fine, I'll take one." "I'll buy one too. Can I use this torch to go out and hunt Demon Beasts later?" "You've been out all day and you haven't had enough?" "Not yet! Today's resources outside are plenty. It's common sense to stock up early on. Everyone knows it will get more and more dangerous out there." "That's true." "..." Zhou Bai was about to squeeze in to purchase one when her mother, Ding Qiurou, pulled her aside. "Don't go, I've already bought some," Ding Qiurou said with amusement as she watched her daughter. She had come to the territory as the sky darkened, waiting for their return. Listening to her, Zhou Bai didn't squeeze in anymore. She looked around at the others and saw that there were quite a few things being sold in the territory now. "Bamboo tubes, bamboo tubes, fresh bamboo tubes, lighter and more convenient than stone bowls!" "Honey, top-quality honey, only 5 copper coins for a serving to enjoy the sweet taste." "Rattan mattresses, tired of sleeping on a hard bed? With this, you get a good night's sleep." "Various herbs, come and have a look, some can heal wounds quickly." "..." Seeing Zhou Bai's gaze fall on the sellers, Ding Qiurou continued, "Whatever they were selling and could be bought, I have already purchased. They came back earlier than you and not long after, crafted these items to sell. It's quite useful. Were the resources outside particularly abundant today?" "Yes, a lot of resource points appeared, and gathering in larger quantities could even trigger the Identification Skill..." Zhou Bai briefly mentioned the situation outside. "I also triggered a skill," Ding Qiurou said excitedly after Zhou Bai finished, "Mine is Basic Cooking. It just came to me suddenly while cooking for you, and later when I came out, I found out that some people crafting bamboo tubes triggered Basic Manufacturing. Meng Chengzhou triggered Basic Carpentry..." Ding Qiurou was well-informed about the various skills people acquired, clearly having put in a lot of effort. "Mom, thank you." With the information her mother had collected, it saved Zhou Bai a lot of trouble. Otherwise, she would have had to control everything herself, and that would make it difficult to seize opportunities. "We are a team that divides the work and cooperates. You and dad are responsible for making money and supporting the family, and I am responsible for being beautiful, and incidentally, for handling logistics." Ding Qiurou realized that living in a territory did not necessarily rely on military power, so she no longer felt that she must strengthen herself through combat, just as she was, collecting information about the territory and finding that time also flew by. She understood that the strength of a territory, like urban construction in the past, required every link in order to get the whole territory running in a cycle. For example, combatants who went out to hunt Demon Beasts definitely did not have time to make tools for daily life. Now that there were specialized people manufacturing such tools, all they needed to do was to buy them with money, which was a win-win for both parties. "Okay," Zhou Bai responded. At that moment, someone came back from outside. As soon as they entered the territory, they could barely wait to shout, "Haha, I've found some spices today! Our food will finally have some flavor!" As soon as the spices were mentioned, who could compete? Everyone instantly crowded around the person. "What kind of spices?" "Hehe, salt rocks." "Holy shit, sell me some. Where did you get it?" "Chaotic Stone Forest. There are fewer Demon Beasts there, so I took the chance to stay, killed some Demon Wolves after half a day's work, got some meat, and then I thought about all those rocks... I figured why not collect them? And while I was collecting, I suddenly came across salt rocks among the stones, though the drop rate is very low." "Who cares if it's low, as long as you have it!" "How much for your salt rocks? Sell us some first." "Only a little bit." "That's fine." "..." Zhou Bai and Ding Qiurou exchanged glances and also squeezed into the crowd. As more and more people returned, the territory became even more lively and the number of people exchanging goods grew. Similarly, the news about skills spread far and wide. So even knowing that reaching level 10 was not so easy, they were not too discouraged because they had skills, the very foundation for establishing themselves in this world. And when Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng returned, the atmosphere in the territory reached a new climax because most of their skills were from the Combat System. Listening to some of them bragged, many people's eyes shone brightly. "Tomorrow I'm not guarding the gate anymore. I want to go out and hunt Demon Beasts too," Feng Lezhi said, his eyes practically "glowing red" as he listened to his teammate's skill gains. "Remember, after 100 accumulations, you'll get a Basic Skill, though the effect is just a temporary boost. You must strive to master the intermediate level, who knows how many trials it will take." "Okay." The atmosphere on-site was fiery as everyone boasted about their skills. ** A short distance away, drawn out by the bustle of the territory, Diana and Harrison listened to the talk of Basic Skills, their expressions varied. Harrison had a look of disdain, "I thought something major had happened, but it turns out it's just the triggering of Basic Skills. In my previous territory, even a 6-year-old child has managed that. Have the Humans really degenerated this much?" Hearing Harrison's words, Diana shook her head, "This territory is different." "How so?" "They don't know where they migrated from. This territory has only been established for three days. They didn't even know that after the first upgrade of the territory they would have to face the challenge of a Beast Tide. They rashly upgraded while only having a little over a hundred people, the territory was even invaded by level 5 Demon Beasts, but in the end, they still won and passed the test. Today marks the first official day of their territory's establishment," Diana explained, "To have come this far on the first day is already quite impressive." Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "How can that be? They don't look old enough..." So ignorant, especially the Lord. Aren't they all of noble descent from the Human Clan Kingdom? "That's why I say their origins are a mystery, and they don't seem like natives of Stan Continent," Diana said sharply, "But now that they are on Stan Continent, they are part of Stan Continent, and their territory will also be a territory of Stan Continent. And us, we rely on this territory." Harrison: "..." "I know your Dwarf Clan territories are very strong, but you are not on the Dwarf Clan's land anymore, and you are no longer a resident of the Dwarf Clan. You are part of the Undead Clan," Diana emphasized. Harrison heard the warning in Diana's words and replied irritably, "I know!" Seeing Harrison's attitude soften, and looking at Zhou Bai and his family in the distance, Diana smiled gently, "I just feel that such unique Humans may well blaze a new trail for this territory." To change the Human's awkward status on Stan Continent. Now, who knows how many Human territories are still holding on? If even they can't hold on, in the end, Humans will only become vassals to other Races. As a once Human, she didn't want to see that happen. Harrison saw the hope in Diana's eyes and snorted coldly; he would watch and see what made these Humans deserve Diana's full hope.
