Chapter 109: Chapter 071: It’s Living, Not Just Being Alive_2

Zhou Bai immediately understood that they were training soldiers.

For Li Xingteng, Zhou Bai had been impressed from the start; his sense of dedication was definitely number one in the territory.

While Zhou Bai was thinking, Li Xingteng and his group had already noticed him. They were initially startled, but relaxed when they saw it was Zhou Bai. However, they looked a few more times at Denglop and Victor.

After dealing with the surrounding Demon Snakes, Li Xingteng made his way over to Zhou Bai, "Is it possible that the ores are over here?"

Clearly, after the notice was issued, Li Xingteng had seen it too. It was a pity he wasn’t on the scene or he would definitely have gone to accept it. He didn’t expect Zhou Bai to be the one who received it; that luck was really something else.

"Yes, they said it’s over here."

"Congratulations! You’ve earned another 100 Contribution points." As he spoke, Li Xingteng felt some envy; he was also accumulating Contribution by leading soldiers to clear out Demon Beasts around the area. He could earn some every day, but still couldn’t compare to Zhou Bai.

He even felt that the position of Village Chief was almost certainly going to be Zhou Bai’s, given how vastly she was leading in Contribution now.

Fortunately, he also had other goals now. He quite liked the feeling of leading a group of soldiers to battle with Demon Beasts, possibly because he had gotten used to it.

So, he decided not to compete for the Village Chief position, but to strive for the Military Commander’s role instead. That would be awesome.

"The most important thing still is to find the mine! Although I don’t know why the territory needs to find a mine, it must be beneficial to the territory," Zhou Bai said.

"Yeah, the better the territory, the better our lives will be," Li Xingteng said, his expression showing some excitement. "With the new Residents joining yesterday, the territory should be ready for a promotion, right? I wonder what will happen after the promotion?"

"I think after the snow stops, it should be ready for a promotion. Then, dealing with the Beast Tide will be a bit easier."

"That’s what I was thinking as well, so these days I’ve been taking the Shield Soldier Team here to farm Demon Beasts every day, treating it as training. However, in these past few days, I’ve clearly felt the Demon Beasts getting stronger. Even though they’re still Level 9, their health has increased. Maybe it’s because, as the territory’s power continuously evolves, their numbers have increased, too. Yesterday there were only four waves, but today there were five, and each wave had even more than before. I wonder what the situation is like in other areas?"

Zhou Bai listened with a contemplative expression; this was indeed a piece of information. However, only the teams involved in the battles nearby would know this. But what if everyone pooled their information together?

Thinking this, Zhou Bai spoke up, "Maybe we can create our own information exchange platform. We can gather the situations we encounter, and everyone will have a better understanding of what’s going on."

"How do you plan to do that?" Li Xingteng asked with interest.

"Let’s set up an information center in the territory! Information can be submitted there, and individuals can access it. Those who inquire can use copper coins to pay for it. Then, the money can be split with the informant using the system’s transaction method to ensure transparency," Zhou Bai explained without hesitation.

After hearing Zhou Bai’s idea, Li Xingteng sized him up and down, "You’re aiming for Village Chief, and it seems you do have some skills, must have put in quite an effort behind the scenes! The first time I saw you, I knew you were also ambitious."

Zhou Bai listened in silence.

If she weren’t the true ruler behind this territory, she’d much rather be a lazy Salted Fish!

She had worked so hard on the first day to protect her property!

It was just a wonderful misunderstanding.

Li Xingteng disregarded Zhou Bai’s silence and continued, "After we get back, you take the lead on this. You can establish your personal prestige through this, and when you become Village Chief later, it will help you manage the territory better. I trust you."

Mainly because he was now good friends with Zhou Zhengping, and Zhou Bai was Zhou Zhengping’s daughter. Naturally, it was better to have an acquaintance as Village Chief than someone else.

"Okay, I’ll try," Zhou Bai said.

While the two were conversing, Victor on the side felt a little surprised.

After all, they knew that Zhou Bai was the Lord, and now she still had to act and work as Village Chief?

Perhaps she had some objective?

As for Denglop, he had no idea what they were talking about, but he wasn’t concerned. He just needed to follow Victor’s lead.

At that moment, having finished their discussion, Li Xingteng also noticed the two goblin NPCs and greeted them with a smile, "Please wait a moment. After we deal with the last wave, there won’t be any more Demon Beasts around here, and we can start Mining then."
