Chapter 126: Chapter 076: Too Damn Coveted by Humans_2

Near the city gate, if there were injured outside, they could get help as fast as possible.

After everything was set up, the next step was to choose the buildings to construct.

This time there were four!

Zhou Bai’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Looking at the buildings available to unlock, some new additions had appeared, and there were obvious changes in their functions.

[Well: Can draw groundwater; requires 10 Gold Coins and some materials to construct; can be built multiple times]

[Tavern: The favorite place for mercenaries; only territories with a Tavern can attract them; requires 10 Gold Coins and some materials to construct]

[Breeding Ground: Tame a certain number of Demon Beasts and concentrate on breeding them; requires 10 Gold Coins and some materials to construct]

[Wood Workshop: Mainly processes wood; requires 10 Gold Coins and some materials to construct]

[Commercial Street: A place for commercial activities; constructing a block requires 200 Gold Coins and some materials.]

[...]

Zhou Bai began to review the few that interested her.

In fact, from the new buildings now available to unlock, a certain idea Zhou Bai had became even deeper.

She made up her mind quickly.

She went ahead and unlocked the Well, Tavern, Breeding Ground, and Commercial Street.

The Wood Workshop was abandoned by her at the time of the Blacksmith Shop, and now that it was available again, it was abandoned once more for practical uses, since there was a Meng Chengzhou in the territory.

Meng Chengzhou had developed a variety of wood-based products, and it was taken for granted that whenever woodwork was needed, the territory would turn to Meng Chengzhou.

Moreover, he had turned his craft into a business, hiring many idle people in the territory. Under these circumstances, the Wood Workshop became superfluous.

With that money, she would rather spend it on other buildings.

[Would you like to spend 10 Gold Coins and 500 stone materials to unlock the Well?]

[Would you like to...]

After Zhou Bai had made her choices, four miniature building models appeared in front of the Lord’s panel.

Among them, the Commercial Street was a two-story shop, which could be built repeatedly with only the cost of some materials.

Zhou Bai quickly began choosing suitable locations for them.

For the Well, one was placed directly beside the canteen, and then one each in the Human residential areas and NPC areas.

For the Breeding Ground, its initial size was also in acres, and Zhou Bai directly unlocked 10 acres, placing it next to the previously unlocked farmland.

For the Tavern, a three-story building with complete facilities, the first floor was a public area while the upper two floors housed single, double, and quadruple rooms, each floor containing 10 rooms, clearly indicating the later potential for upgrading and expansion. Zhou Bai placed it on the opposite side of the city gate, across from the barracks, convenient for accommodating visitors.

As for the Commercial Street, she used it once again as a facade, starting from the right side of the Tavern and laying the first row along the main road, taking a turn just before the trading area, becoming another row.

Once everything was in place, Zhou Bai confirmed the setup.

Upon confirmation, rows of buildings promptly emerged in the territory.

At present, as long as one did not use an aerial view, one would never feel the territory was empty anymore; it even had different functional areas starting to form.

And such a configuration of the territory would suffice for the time being.

After the buildings were set up, the next issue was about pricing for each building’s function.

The Well, although meant to facilitate the residents’ access to water and provide a safeguard against potential droughts, couldn’t be provided for free. It was priced by the bucket—1 copper coin per bucket.

As for the Tavern rooms, they were priced according to the initial setting. For the time being, there wouldn’t be many guests anyway! The counter in the large hall on the first floor automatically offered a type of beer.

For the shops, they were the best locations, and she chose to rent them out rather than sell them, considering selling after the second row and beyond.

After setting the prices, Zhou Bai felt quite satisfied looking at these buildings.

In her relaxed mood, she couldn’t help but recall her previous dream.

At this moment, she truly felt like she was born to be a landlady, both before the Doomsday and now, in the Doomsday Game, depending on the territory to continue her role.

Chuckling and shaking her head, Zhou Bai began planning the next stage of the territory’s development. Now, with a population of more than a thousand, the more people there were, the more issues would arise, and there had to be managers. It was time to build organizational departments so that future population growth wouldn’t be chaotic.

She handed over the organizational structure plan to Bayer and his team.

The department layout for the second and third floors of the Lord Mansion was assigned to the construction team.

Daniel was tasked with matters concerning the Hospital.

The Beastman NPCs were in charge of road paving outside the territory.

Military camp, right, iron mine, let them try mining at the iron mine to see if they can unlock the Soldier Gift Pack.

...

After laying out all the plans, Zhou Bai published them and then yawned and went to sleep.

She was somewhat looking forward to seeing the residents’ emotions when they saw the transformation of the territory tomorrow!

**

The next day marked the 30th day since the Doomsday Game had descended.

Last night, many people had fallen asleep with smiles on their faces.

The grand victory over the Beast Tide not only allowed many of them to accumulate a significant amount of Contribution for the territory, but more importantly, killing Demon Beasts for double Experience Points had enabled many of the residents stuck at level 9 to break through to level 10, successfully becoming Professionals.

In addition, the rewards also made their pockets fuller.

Under such circumstances, no one could be unhappy.

And when they woke up in the morning, their good mood continued.

Some who had accumulated 500 Contribution points were ready to go to the military camp to exchange for a Soldier Identity.

Some who had jobs were happily preparing to go "to work."

Some with excess resources were ready to go to the Lord Mansion to exchange their resources for copper coins.

Some who had endured a tough month were planning to have a good rest today and wander around the territory at leisure.

...

And these people, the moment they stepped out of their homes, were astounded by the transformed territory.

Was this still their territory?

Many of them rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

"Holy shit! The territory has been completely transformed!"

"How did so many buildings suddenly pop up?"

"They look identical, what are they??"

"They seem to be shops."

"Come on, let’s go take a stroll through the territory."

"..."

"Oh my God! There’s another row over here, going straight from here to the city gate."

"The entire territory looks so much more substantial now."

"It’s become high-end."

"Pfft pfft pfft, look guys, the shops are just facades, there’s nothing behind them!"

"But even so, the territory looks better! At least from a distance, I thought our territory was a thriving small town!"

"It looks like the territory may have heard our desires, we were just saying how ugly it was yesterday!"

"It was quite bare yesterday, it’s pretty ugly, but today it’s ’dressed up’!"

"Let’s keep looking ahead! I think the changes can’t just be this; there was an upgrade yesterday, and now there’s this change today, the territory is really getting better and better."

"Yeah! I can hardly remember how it originally looked."

"..."

"There’s a Hospital next to the military camp now!"

"There’s also a Tavern near the city gate! And they’re even selling beer inside."

"Ah ah ah! Can we finally drink now? I want to buy some!"

"I want a drink too! I’ve been craving it."

"..."

The territory was abuzz with discussions, all passionately talking about Hope Village’s transformation.

Amidst these different voices, similar was the joy implied in their tone.

A territory that keeps improving, damn, people adore it!
