Chapter 107: Chapter 070: The New Goblin npc_3

And this third group would indeed be the most suitable team for new residents to join.

As expected, Zhou Bai saw quite a few new residents among them.

The reason he could tell was that the difference between the old residents and the new residents was particularly stark.

The old residents were all dressed in anti-cold suits, armed with fine weapons, standing in the snowstorm with faces unafraid.

The new residents, on the other hand, didn’t have any anti-cold gear. Their bodies were draped in clothes made of beast skins, and their heads were covered by wide straw hats. They hopped on the spot non-stop, obviously using exercise to generate more body heat.

As Zhou Bai approached, he heard their conversation.

"Why don’t you wait a bit longer? That straw hat is just a simple white garment made by the residents, right? It can only last an hour before it needs changing. And with the beast skin, you must still feel cold, right? Don’t end up frostbitten."

"No need, no need, we can hold on. The purchase price for special materials unique to snow is so high, we can’t miss this opportunity! We’ll just tough it out and it will be over soon!"

"Does your territory not buy these special materials?"

"No, our territory hasn’t unlocked a tailor shop, and we don’t have any tailor NPCs. All we can buy is armor and ordinary clothes. We don’t have high-level equipment like this, and what’s more, the prices are three to four times as much as here. The prices in Hope Village are really quite fair."

"I also think that our Hope Village is pretty good, it’s just that you guys came late. The anti-cold suits produced by the tailor shop are usually snapped up as soon as they are put up for sale. In a day or two, once we gather more materials, there will be more suits available. But by that time, the prices will be much cheaper too. If you buy now, you won’t be afraid the next time we have this kind of weather. When the territory released 100 suits in advance last time, many people didn’t buy, and those who bought first in the subsequent batch have made a fortune over the past few days. Now, any kinds of weather suits are snapped up as soon as they are put on the shelves."

"Did you guys get early warning of the special weather?"

"It was mentioned by some NPCs, we were all mentally prepared."

"I really envy you for stumbling upon such a reliable territory so early."

"Well, I come from another territory too, only a little earlier than you all. The longer I stay, the more grateful I am that I came early."

"Luckily, we came too."

"..."

Similar conversations were not uncommon at the site. As the Lord of Hope Village working behind the scenes, Zhou Bai felt a special sense of pride.

Initially, establishing the territory was just to have a place of peace and safety for her family.

But now, it seemed her thinking was slowly changing.

She hoped that Hope Village would continue to develop well and could always provide shelter for every resident living in it.

Maybe this dream was grand, but she would try hard to make it come true.

Thinking this, Zhou Bai directly entered the Lord Mansion.

Inside, quite a few people were examining various material information on the display panels, memorizing them, and after leaving the Lord Mansion, joining one of the teams.

Zhou Bai stood in front of the notice board, pretending to sell some excess materials, and then subtly posted a recruitment notice.

[Recruitment: 1 person to go Mining with a goblin NPC. Reward 100 Contribution points, daily wage of 200 copper coins, no Profession requirements, Level 9 and above, first come first served.]

As soon as the notice was published, it appeared on the notice board.

Immediately, Zhou Bai chose "Sign Up", and at the same time, used the tasking method to summon Denglop and Victor, whom she had called that morning.

At the site, a lot of people saw the notice, but before they could sign up, they saw the notice stating that the recruitment had ended.

"Who’s that quick!"

"Isn’t it said that notices from the Lord Mansion come out a little earlier than the system announcements? We’re right here, how could we be beaten to it?"

"It’s just 200 copper coins!"

"You don’t understand, what’s precious isn’t the 200 copper coins, it’s the 100 Contribution points! Accumulating them gives you a chance to become a Soldier, Soldier Captain, or even Village Chief. Such tasks related to Contribution in the territory are too scarce."

"I noticed the Contribution points too, but I didn’t pay attention to the details."

"So who was so quick?"

"I think it’s someone present here."

"..."

As they were speaking, some people began scanning around in the Lord Mansion, and then they saw Zhou Bai.

"Big shot, was it you?"

Zhou Bai: "...Yes, it was me. I just came to sell some materials and saw the notice."

When the others realized it was Zhou Bai, they understood.

Who doesn’t know that Zhou Bai is one of the well-known "Gan Emperors" in the territory, and likewise, her strength is top-notch.

"She is..."

"Just look at who’s at the top of Hope Village’s Contribution leaderboard," replied the old residents, offering an explanation.

Then, Zhou Bai accepted everyone’s gazes inside the Lord Mansion until the goblins Denglop and Victor arrived, drawing all the attention to them.

"Wow! Goblin NPCs, new NPCs!"

"Those pointed ears are kinda cute!"

"Shorter than Dwarves too!"

"And green, like a little Q-version pet!"

"Were they summoned today from the Heroic Spirit Hall?"

"No wonder the territory suddenly posted this task."

"Do we have mines around our territory?"

"If we find a mine, could we get more weapons for the territory?"

"Hey, you cute little goblins, do your best for our territory!"

"..."

Under the intense gaze of the crowd, Denglop subconsciously hid behind Victor.

Victor, however, noticed the curiosity in these Humans’ eyes, with not a hint of disgust. Listening to their tone mentioning ’cute,’ he was a bit incredulous.

Cute? Them, goblins?

At that moment, Zhou Bai had already approached them and said directly, "I’m a Resident who will do the task with you. Shall we set off?"

Victor came back to his senses, eyed the undercover Zhou Bai, blinked his eyes, and then nodded, "Okay."

Then, one Human and two goblins left amidst the heated gazes of the crowd, their steps somewhat awkwardly synchronized.

Having walked a distance, they could still hear laughter coming from behind them.

In that moment, the two goblins surely felt that this Human territory was different from any Human territory they knew.
