Chapter 115: Chapter 073: Level 2 Village_2

"[Warehouse currently has too many items, please assign a manager.]"

Manager?

When Zhou Bai saw this message, the first person she thought of was her mother.

Management was her forte, perfect for her to handle.

After settling the warehouse matter, Zhou Bai started dealing with the farmland.

One Gold Coin could only reclaim one acre of farmland, but one acre was far from enough, so she reclaimed another 19 acres, making it 20 acres in total.

After dealing with the new buildings, Zhou Bai began focusing on other buildings.

After the territory upgrade, they could be upgraded again.

[Lord Mansion (Level 2) — Lord Mansion (Level 3)]

[Restaurant — Add Item]

[Second-level Residence — Level 3 Residence]

Level 3 Lord Mansion, its area expanded again with an additional floor.

The restaurant added a new item, bread.

Level 3 Residence was a sturdier stone house, also two floors, but of a much higher class, and she directly built 20 of them without hesitation.

After all this had been done and was running, the entire territory underwent changes.

And there was still much more to come.

Zhou Bai hadn’t forgotten, apart from the changes in buildings, the biggest change in the territory was still its area.

After the area doubled, the perimeter walls shifted outward, and the additional area was open plot after open plot, making the entire territory appear more spacious. The originally paved road just cut off in the middle, needing to be repaved, and even the garrison had to be placed near the city walls for convenience.

At the same time, a new plan for the entire territory needed to be made to avoid confusion when it upgraded next time.

Thinking this, Zhou Bai already had an idea.

The best way was still to opt for circular zones.

The first circular zone would be the existing cluster of buildings, and the second circle would use the new territory as a dividing line, with each additional area expansion forming a new circle.

First, fix the roads, creating main and secondary thoroughfares, then the open plot could be directly filled with buildings.

As for the buildings, there was so much open land, waiting for territory buildings to fill it might take a long time. She also needed to try if she could construct them herself, otherwise, building couldn’t keep up with the pace of territory development.

After she had thought this through, Zhou Bai already had preliminary plans in her mind.

Then she opened the Lord Mansion’s notice board to start posting announcements.

**

[Recruiting road construction workers, 200 copper coins/day, Contribution*10/day]

[Recruiting warehouse manager, 30 silver coins/month]

[Reclaiming farmland, 200 copper coins/day, Contribution*10/day]

[Recruiting building experience personnel, 100 copper coins/day.]

[...]

Many people had just woken up when they were hit by the system’s continuous calls.

They were stunned for a moment seeing so much recruitment information.

Once they read the panel information clearly, they instantly realized their territory... had upgraded?

The next moment, many people hurriedly got up from their beds and went out.

Sure enough, they saw the weather had normalized.

And their territory had expanded, the previously clear city walls had been pushed far out, making the entire territory appear more spacious.

Although the territory had suddenly become somewhat unsightly, everyone knew an upgrade, whether for the territory or for those who lived there, was a great thing.

Especially the batch of new residents from Yuxi Village, who had heard that Hope Village was about to be promoted, but when nothing had happened for days, they thought they had been deceived; unexpectedly, the promotion came so suddenly.

"From the looks of it, you guys aren’t surprised?" someone straightforwardly asked.

"Of course not, after you came, we knew the promotion was approaching."

"Then why wasn’t it promoted before?"

"It’s related to the weather. It was heavily snowing before, if we promoted then and a Beast Tide came at night, how could people without cold-weather equipment withstand it?"

"That makes sense! Ultimately, it was promoted, it seems like the territory has doubled in size!"

"But it looks a bit ugly now."

"Also, the distance to the city gate has increased a lot, hasn’t it?"

"Consider it as exercise."

"Hehe, stone houses have appeared too, I wonder how many Gold Coins?"

"As much as I care about the territory’s promotion, what I care more about are the recruitment announcements. The territory actually has Contribution rewards, 10 Contribution per day, that’s quite a lot."

"Because, apart from Contribution, just looking at the copper coins, the return isn’t high, especially since going outside to hunt Demon Beasts and gather can earn much more than 200 copper coins a day."

"But for those who don’t want to leave the territory, it’s a good option."

"There are also those who want to earn Contribution and are willing to contribute to the territory."

"So, are you going to sign up?"

"Sure!"

"The territory is our home, building it relies on everyone!"

"Hehe, I want to be the warehouse manager; I am just a craftsman, this job is perfect for me."

"Building experience, can my previous work on construction sites count?"

"You can try. It seems the territory plans to build its own houses? It should be a long-term task! If the period isn’t long, we can consider it."

"And the farmland, it seems the territory plans to get into planting."

"Planting is good, the produce is quite stable, otherwise relying on gatherers, we’d be eating the same few things every day."

"There was already a task to buy seeds in the territory before, probably preparing for this day, right?"

"..."

As they discussed, many people chose to sign up to work in the territory, considering it a rest, but many others still prepared to continue with their original plans to go out hunting and gathering. Among these people, many were Level 9, as they wanted to use every opportunity to promote to Professionals.

The difference between Professionals and non-Professionals was still huge.

And watching them casually chat about the changes in the territory, seemingly unconcerned about the upcoming Beast Tide, the new group of residents couldn’t help but speak up.

"What about the Beast Tide? There will be one tonight, right? Aren’t you guys worried?" they asked, the horrifying scenes they had faced during the Beast Tide in Yuxi Village involuntarily flashing through their minds.

"Take a look at our territory’s walls, look at the number of our Territory Professionals, do you think the Beast Tide is a big problem for us?" one person pointed at the wall and said.

It was different now from the first Beast Tide! They had all grown!

No one felt they couldn’t survive the Beast Tide; if anything, they probably just wondered how long it would take to resolve it.

The new residents, reassured by their calm demeanor, suddenly felt settled, "I forgot, Hope Village is different."

The very name Hope Village indeed provided a unique sense of security!

"Come on! Since it’s still early, let’s walk around and get used to the changes in Hope Village."

"Okay."

And so, a group of people started strolling around in the territory.
