Chapter 116: Chapter 074: Awesome Territory, Awesome Residents

At this moment, Zhou Bai held a stack of application forms in his hands.

The most popular tasks were building roads and cultivating farmland. After all, these were daily-paid jobs with contribution rewards and allowed for greater flexibility.

Next in demand was the warehouse administrator position. It was obvious that this was a long-term job, but the upside was that it was relatively easy. Those applying for this role were mostly gatherers or craftsmen.

As for those with building experience, there were only a handful of them.

Zhou Bai directly selected candidates based on the system’s ranking for each individual.

At the same time, he assigned a leader for each task.

Road construction was led by Lucas, who teamed up with the Kobolds and Bull-men.

Farmland reclamation was assigned to Beck, the Sheep-headed Man, along with Anna.

Building-related tasks were put under Danis’s charge.

After finalizing the assignments, Zhou Bai didn’t immediately make any announcements. Instead, he sought out his mom.

As soon as Ding Qiurou saw Zhou Bai, she spoke up, "Did you save the warehouse administrator job for me?"

Truly, the bond of a mother and child—no words needed.

Zhou Bai nodded, "Are you interested?"

Even though his mom was the most suitable candidate, Zhou Bai cared more about whether she was interested in the role.

"Yes!" Ding Qiurou said, though her expression was slightly conflicted. "But wouldn’t this kind of direct assignment seem unfair?"

"Nothing unfair about it," Zhou Bai said bluntly. "I’m working tirelessly as the Lord, and the most important thing to me is that our family lives well. A position this critical—I wouldn’t trust anyone else with it! This manages the lifeline of our territory’s resources."

"Alright, I’ll take it," Ding Qiurou agreed without hesitation and immediately signed up for the job.

The moment she signed up, Zhou Bai naturally selected her for the position.

With everything finalized, Zhou Bai sent out all the notifications.

Ding Qiurou, of course, also received hers.

[Congratulations, Host. You are now the warehouse administrator of Hope Village. Would you like to load the warehouse interface?]

"Yes."

In the next instant, the Basic Warehouse building on Ding Qiurou’s interface map lit up, indicating that she could now access and manage the warehouse.

When she clicked it open, she saw the warehouse’s details.

[Building: Warehouse]

[Resources: Stone, Rabbit Meat, Rabbit Skin, Rice, Pork, Wood, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Beef, Wolf Skin, Iron Ore...]

[Connected Buildings: Lord Mansion, Blacksmith Shop, tailor shop, grocery store.]

[Authorized Personnel: Lord (Zhou Bai), Ding Qiurou (Warehouse Administrator), Diana, Harrison (+)]

Though each slot contained just one type of resource, the slots themselves were completely disorganized.

She remembered clearly sorting resources into different bags earlier, keeping everything organized.

Ding Qiurou glanced at Zhou Bai, "What happened to the items in the warehouse..."

"It’s the system’s auto-import feature, that’s why it’s a mess!" Zhou Bai quickly said with an innocent expression.

"Fine, I’ll head to the warehouse and organize it myself." With that, Ding Qiurou was already fidgeting in her seat, unable to sit still.

She needed to group foods together, prioritize based on expiration, and make sure items with shorter shelf lives were used first. Meanwhile, those with longer shelf lives could be saved for later. Beyond that, she needed to sort them by category—fruits, vegetables, meats, staple foods, and so on.

Materials had to be stored together as well. Things like wood, stone, and iron ore needed their own sections, while special materials had to be separated—for example, those suited for rainy days versus snowy days.

On top of that, there were various dropped blueprints and items to deal with.

Blueprints needed to be sorted by level and usefulness.

There was just too much work to be done.

As these thoughts swirled in her mind, Ding Qiurou dashed off like the wind.

Watching her retreating figure, Zhou Bai awkwardly scratched his nose and then headed out as well.

However, he wasn’t planning to oversee anything just yet. Instead, he made a beeline toward the outskirts of the territory.

With the territory’s promotion, the density of Demon Beasts outside the territory had significantly decreased.

He wanted to use this opportunity to level up.

After all, if he needed to take on the role of Village Chief in the future, he’d have to hold his ground when it came to levels.

**

Meanwhile, within the territory, as Zhou Bai’s notifications went out, those who received tasks quickly headed to their respective "work sites."

Lucas was the first to arrive, showing up at the square with a pack of Kobolds in tow.

Before long, a group of residents who had received missions also arrived.

"We’re here under the territory’s orders to report to you," one of them said, looking up at the towering figure of Lucas.

They hadn’t expected to be working alongside Beastman NPCs.

Lucas listened and nodded, then pulled out a sheepskin scroll. On it was a diagram for road construction plans. "Follow this diagram to carry out the work. I’ve already assigned stone-cutting tasks to the Bull-men. The rest of you can split into pairs and distribute the remaining tasks among yourselves."
