Chapter 139: Chapter 081: Welcome to Stan Continent

On the thirty-first day of the apocalypse.

Zhou Bai went early in the morning to summon from the Heroic Spirit Hall and Beast God Temple. The Heroic Spirit Hall summoned two Doctors, and the Beast God Temple summoned two Sheep-headed Men adept at breeding and planting.

This made Zhou Bai even more certain of one thing: the summoned NPCs would change according to the needs of the territory.

Afterwards, as long as the economy allowed, Zhou Bai felt that he should continue to summon regularly.

After all, up to this point, the NPCs had played an increasingly significant role in the territory. The most important aspect was the contract between them; if the other party entertained thoughts of betrayal, he could quickly dissolve the contract, with the initiative resting firmly in his own hands.

After the summons and instructions were complete, Zhou Bai waited quietly for the system notification.

On the panel, the countdown to the end of the Newbie Protection Period had already entered the final hour and minute.

A month ago, the Doomsday Game descended in the morning, and the protection period would also end in the morning.

At 8 o’clock, the residents of the territory gradually got up.

However, most of them did not rush to organize hunting parties or start work as usual.

They knew very well that today marked the end of the Newbie Protection Period.

Even though they had prepared in advance, when the time came, they all felt nervous and anxious.

Especially these last two days, they just began to feel their lives getting back on track and hoped that the storms of the Doomsday Game would lessen a bit.

"This minute-by-minute wait is really unbearable!"

"Yes, we don’t know what will come after the protection period ends."

"The main thing is that the word ’protection’ is too ambiguous, as if to tell us that without it, we’ll face even more difficult situations."

"In any case, let’s get to work. Compared to when we first came, our environment has improved a lot already."

"That’s the only comforting thing."

"We can’t lose heart."

"..."

The residents discussed the matter until they began to comfort each other.

Their thoughts also grew firmer amidst the chatter.

Compared to the residents’ quiet waiting, the NPCs of the territory were somewhat surprised.

Surprised that the residents, who were usually busy working to the point of exhaustion, were almost all staying in the territory today, as if waiting for something.

What exactly happened?

"Do you know?" Heidi whispered to Bayer.

It was precisely because the Hope Village Residents weren’t moving that they stayed in the territory to find out what was happening.

But she seldom involved herself in the affairs of the residents, being unaware of the details, so she could only ask Bayer to prepare herself.

She really enjoyed her time in Hope Village.

The environment was comfortable, the work was easy, and the food was particularly delicious... Even the territory she belonged to in life was not as comfortable as here, let alone the Undead Kingdom.

So, she truly didn’t want any accidents to occur here.

Upon hearing Heidi’s words, Bayer furrowed his brow, then said, "I’m not very clear either, but I do have a guess."

"What is it?"

"Haven’t you noticed that since we arrived at Hope Village, the maps we used to traverse can no longer be seen?" Bayer said directly.

"Isn’t it because we became Undead, we lost them?" Heidi asked subconsciously.

"No, maybe it’s just because this is a special space." Bayer explained, "I originally thought that the maps disappeared because of our identity when we returned to the Stan Continent, but last time I went out, I saw that the places I visited had maps again, and not just me, the residents have it too."

"How is that possible? Based on the unintentional information they’ve revealed, there are already several hundred territories that they know of. To create such a vast area, even a Legendary Space Magician couldn’t do it alone. The number of Legendary Space Magicians on the Stan Continent can be counted on one hand. Why would they create such an area?" Heidi unconsciously rejected the idea.

Bayer’s gaze become more profound, "Maybe it’s for territories like Hope Village to come through multiple times! You’ve lived here so long, you should know their uniqueness, right? It’s been a long time since we went to the Undead Kingdom, and before we died, the situation in Human Territory was already not so good. Now they will only be worse off, so humans must find a way out, and they are it!"

Heidi fell silent.

The uniqueness of Hope Village and the Hope Village Residents, she had already noticed it. They carried a resilience and knowledge that people from the Stan Continent did not have.

After a moment of silence, Heidi said, "It seems they were forcibly pulled into this world, and they still long for their original world."

If this is the case, if the ones who pulled them in were doing so to save the humans of the Stan Continent, wouldn’t that make them their "enemies"?

"I don’t see it that way. If they were easily pulled into this world, there definitely were problems in their original world. I can tell that in their original world, they were just ordinary people; it was only here that they became strong. Maybe, this is a mutual benefit," Bayer said directly, "This is just my speculation and can’t be taken as truth. Anyway, as it stands, they are striving to live, and they have never directed their anger towards us native residents."

What others deduce is their business, but they could not speak of it.

"Hmm." Heidi nodded, then said, "So, do you mean that our territory—and theirs—is very likely to directly integrate into the Stan Continent and connect to it? And that they’ve received advance notice and are waiting?"

"Maybe they don’t know, but what they do know is that the area’s protection of them has ended."

Yes, protection.

In that period of time, every day they went out on missions, they could see that the level of Magic Beasts near resource points was limited to a certain range.

You have to understand that the surrounding of a normal territory wouldn’t restrict Magic Beast Levels. There have been cases before where villages or small towns were attacked by High-level Magic Beasts.

And if at this time they were to integrate into the Stan Continent, it would mean that they also had to start facing the "dangers" of the Stan Continent, the shock of Human Territory facing other Race Territories.

No matter what, as long as he was in this territory, he would face it together with them.

Other NPCs didn’t think as deeply as these two, but they also understood that the territory was about to change!

Finally, at 9 o’clock sharp, the same notification appeared on everyone’s panel.

[Dear Host, the one-month Newbie Protection Period has ended, and the regional section is officially integrating into the Stan Continent.]

[Integrating...]

[Note: After integration, the environment near the territory might undergo unforeseeable changes, please take note!]

[Note: After integration, Residents will no longer be able to sell materials to the system.]

[Integration countdown: 10, 9, 8,... 3, 2, 1]

[Integration complete!]

[Dear Host, welcome to the Stan Continent!]
