Chapter 128: Chapter 077: The Next Stage of the Territory_2

"Just that nowadays, crafts are really in high demand! When Level 3 Residences came out, Meng Chengzhou immediately bought one. He now owns three houses, living even more comfortably than many Professionals."

"Okay! I’ll give it a try."

"That’s right, I should give it a try too. I can make soybean paste."

"Anyone with a skill should get moving! Improving our lives depends on you."

"..."

A few people working in the cafeteria couldn’t help but laugh, the relief on their faces unmistakable.

Although most of them were either too old, lacked the courage to venture out, or didn’t possess the Talent for Combat, they could still make a good living in Hope Village with their own hands.

Tailor shop.

"Give me an Orange Backpack, dammit, I’ve always hesitated to buy one, but now that I’ve finally got the money, I’ve got to get my hands on it."

"I want equipment for extreme weather, it might be expensive, but I’m sure I can make the money back."

"I want to buy new clothes."

"I want leather armor."

"..."

A crowd of people came in and started speaking one after the other.

Diana watched this group, gnashing their teeth in frustration yet filled with joy, just like the previous visitors, and said calmly, "If it’s not in stock upstairs, there’s none left. You’ll have to wait until tomorrow!"

"Dammit! A bunch of beasts, snatching everything up so quickly."

"Crap, Blacksmith Shop."

They all scrambled out immediately.

Watching their departing figures, Diana shook her head, but the corners of her mouth still lifted slightly.

This Hope Village really has energy!

And moreover, it has taken a big step forward!

After this group hurried to the Blacksmith Shop, they encountered a similar situation—almost everything was sold out, and they could only wait.

For many, it was the first time they experienced the feeling of having money but nowhere to spend it.

However, soon they would be okay again. The territory had just opened up Commercial Street, and there were sure to be shops other than the official ones in the future, giving them plenty of places to spend money during their days off.

Lord Mansion.

The first-floor lobby continued to be primarily for registrations and announcements, but, unlike before, the stairway to the second floor was now officially open, and there was a continuous sound of pounding from the second floor.

"What are they doing upstairs?"

"They’re renovating! Remember the few construction workers hired yesterday? They started work today, renovating the second and third floors of the Lord Mansion to plan out different offices."

"What for?"

"Of course, to deal with territory affairs."

"What affairs does the territory have?"

"Well, such as the barracks, the shops, the farmland, the prison, even the future maintenance of order in the territory require departmental management, right?"

"You sure know a lot."

"Hey, I studied sociology in college. With the development of the territory up to now, the structure is slowly being built up. It’s only normal to form different departments. I thought of this when Contribution could be exchanged for positions last time."

"So you’re here waiting for the bulletin board?"

"Hehe."

"..."

The others immediately understood that those staying in the first-floor lobby, aside from those selling things that didn’t require resources, there were also those preparing for job applications.

The territory now had over a thousand people, with more than six hundred being Professionals, this part being mostly Combatants aiming to Upgrade and improve their strength, hence they mostly mingled outside.

Among the remaining personnel, many were inclined towards life and Supporting professions; they could Upgrade to Professionals too, just a bit more slowly, so they preferred to work within the territory.

Yesterday, after the territory’s Upgrade, a lot of new farmland and a Warehouse opened, hiring numerous people.

Today with so many new buildings, the number of people hired will only increase, and for many who had their sights set on the territory, it was an opportunity they wouldn’t miss.

At that moment, at the scene, Meng Chengzhou also overheard the recent conversation.

He was also someone who preferred to stay within the territory.

Although he was now Level 9, he had already acquired several craftsman Skills like Disassemble, Scavenging, and Forging, not to mention being just one step away from Level 10, so he didn’t feel there was anything wrong with staying in the territory.

Come to think of it, when talking about who had money in the territory, he believed he was certainly among the top.

However, he wasn’t interested in the territory’s Professions but in those shops along the street.

Having been selling various wooden products for some time, he knew the profits well. If he could secure a shop in a good location, he might be able to capture an even bigger market in the future.
