Chapter 113: Chapter 072: The Next Upgrade of the Territory_2

"You found Iron Ore?" Harrison looked at Zhou Bai in surprise, his speed was really quite quick.

"In the morning, I summoned two Undead Goblins, they’re very efficient, and now the cost of equipment can be lower." Zhou Bai said happily.

Saving money is the most delightful thing.

As time passed, more and more resources became self-sufficient.

Hearing this, Harrison immediately hung up Iron Pickaxes in the adjacent display shelf, "Last time you asked me about Iron Ore, when I was training apprentices, I instructed them to make some, barely enough though!"

Zhou Bai took a look, they were all Bronze Level, indeed enough.

"Thank you." She had casually asked, and the other party had taken it to heart, this consideration was worthy of gratitude.

"I just did what I should do." Harrison said in his rough and gruff voice.

Zhou Bai smiled, Mr. Dwarf’s character was still so quirky!

After the issue with tools was resolved, Zhou Bai left the Blacksmith Shop and went to the tailor shop.

Diana saw her coming in and said directly, "Here to buy an Orange Backpack again?"

"Yes, but this time it’s not for me personally, when people come later, just give the backpack to the Goblin. Also, prepare 30 sets of cold-resistant equipment."

During this time, what she bought the most was indeed the Orange Backpack, simply because there were too many things both from the territory’s supplies and her personal inventory.

Now, the Iron Ore too needed to be carried in backpacks.

"No problem." Diana said directly, for the cold-resistant equipment, apart from those sold externally, she also specifically reserved a portion for Zhou Bai as quest rewards. Thankfully, she had recruited a few apprentices to do basic work for her recently, or she really wouldn’t be able to keep up.

The number of residents in the territory was growing, and the tasks were becoming heavier.

However, for her, the benefits were also substantial, believing that if this went on for a while, she might be able to level up to 20 and her crafting ability would rise by a notch.

After becoming Undead, the equipment needed in the Undead World was limited, and she hadn’t crafted in such volume for a long time, her level had been stagnant for quite a while.

So, making equipment, no matter how much, was a pleasure for her.

"Do you have enough materials?" Zhou Bai asked.

"The residents have brought quite a lot, we’re okay for cold-resistant equipment, it’s just other special weather gear that I think we could make more of. Otherwise, we might have another run on our stock, even though the price is a bit high, but I see a lot of people buying, making more won’t be an issue." Diana said directly, before, when there were three to four hundred people, a hundred sets were enough, but now with over a thousand people, it wasn’t.

Thinking of this, Diana truly felt that Hope Village was developing at a good speed with high potential for the future.

Listening, Zhou Bai no longer hid it, and directly bought materials on the spot from the System Store, then passed the materials needed by Diana to her.

Diana had already guessed about Zhou Bai’s source of materials and felt a bit odd seeing her directly pulling them out, and added, "On other territories of Stan Continent, materials need to be gathered from the wild, or traded between territories. I don’t know why you can buy them so directly, but I think sooner or later there will be restrictions, don’t rely too much on this."

Previously, they were not close, so she didn’t want to discuss such secretive matters.

But now, she had accepted this place, naturally willing to give direct advice.

Listening, Zhou Bai’s eyes flickered.

This was indeed in line with the guess she and her father had made before, the system was more likely to want them to acquire everything from reality which was why it sold at double the price.

And now, Diana also gave such a reminder, thinking that what was most special about the territory now was probably that it was still within the Newbie Protection Period.

Could it be that after the Newbie Protection Period ends, such convenient methods would be canceled?

"I understand, thank you." Zhou Bai nodded.

Seeing that Zhou Bai took it to heart, Diana smiled.

After leaving the tailor shop, Zhou Bai immediately issued a Mining task, two of the tasks were assigned to goblin NPC and Beastman NPC.

Another was given to Yu Ziming and his group.

[Task: Accompany the goblin NPC to the solvent cave mine for Mining.]

[Nature: Daily Task]

[Reward: None]

[Assignees: Yu Ziming, Shi Jiayun...]

[Gathering place: In front of the Lord Mansion.]

At this moment, Yu Ziming and others, who had been imprisoned in the Prison for lack of cold-resistant equipment during the heavy snow, suddenly received the message.

At the sight of the message, everyone’s eyes showed some excitement.

Because there was finally a task.

Having a task meant they wouldn’t be confined to the Prison losing Experience Points anymore.

Losing Experience Points was actually bearable, but what was really tough was the time spent inside, especially now in snowy weather, they were shivering from the cold, even with a fire burning, it wasn’t enough without cold-resistant equipment.

"Finally, we can do tasks."

"This time it’s Mining, a mine? Does our territory have a mine now?"

"Being locked up, we’re really out of the loop."

"Alas, every time I’m locked up, I regret the past deeds."

"I wonder if there’s still a chance to regain freedom, when will the territory let us go."

"..."

Everyone chattered among themselves, but Yu Ziming had a feeling.

That was if this task was done well, they might be able to regain their freedom.

Quickly, O’Neill brought a group of Tiger-men over, directly opened the Prison doors, and gave each of them a set of cold-resistant equipment, "Follow us!"

Yu Ziming and the rest obediently donned the cold-resistant gear, then followed behind them.

Upon reaching in front of the Lord Mansion, Victor and Denglop were already waiting.

After some mental preparation, they felt less scared when facing the Beastmen.

"Come with us." Victor said, leading the way with Denglop, and the group headed towards the solvent cave.

Seeing their departing figures, many people around started discussing, of course, what they considered the most was whether a mine had been found near the territory?

Just so it happened Zhou Bai was passing by, so they directly inquired for information, everyone knew Zhou Bai had taken on a task in the morning.

"Yes, we found a mine!"

"Can we go Mining? The procurement price for Iron Ore isn’t low."

Zhou Bai glanced at the person, and said directly, "The Iron Ore now belongs to the territory, private mining is not allowed."

"What a pity!"

"If I had known there was a mine near the territory, I would have definitely explored around. Finding it would have been a fortune."

"Stop dreaming, if it were that easy, would the purchasing price still be that high? It’s more reliable to hunt Demon Beasts."

"Actually, if you just want to make money, it’s not bad to be a craftsman now."

"I don’t have that skill, plus I think it’s safer to focus on increasing my strength."

"..."

Listening to these discussions, Zhou Bai’s lips curled into a faint smile, walking towards the outside of the territory.

She believed that as time went on, the functions of the territory would become more and more comprehensive, and its inclusiveness would grow stronger.

Watching a territory gradually take shape in her own hands, Zhou Bai was increasingly enjoying the fun of infrastructure construction.

Next, she was waiting for the end of the heavy snow to welcome the next upgrade of the territory!
