I Become a Landlady in the Game World
Chapter 182 - 109: It Really Is Her!

Chapter 182: Chapter 109: It Really Is Her!

Immediately, Zhou Bai headed straight for the bulletin board and began to edit the information on it.

The results hadn’t come out yet, but the information about organizing a team to go out could be released.

By then, those who were interested would naturally be prepared.

Just as Zhou Bai finished editing, many people gathered around instantly.

Many people in the territory recognized Zhou Bai, who, after all, had the highest level and contribution among the residents so far, and people always remember those who are first.

Most importantly, the information Zhou Bai provided was useful!

Especially the distribution of resource points nearby and the weaknesses of the Demon Beasts at each point. She summarized it exceptionally well and also updated it in real time, which resulted in very high views whenever someone accessed her information.

This time, seeing that she had posted new information, everyone wanted to check it out immediately.

After reading the content, they looked at Zhou Bai, who hadn’t left, and couldn’t help but hastily ask her questions.

"Is this the Acting Village Chief task that you triggered?"

"Going to the native territories nearby, do you know where those territories are?"

"Will there be any dangers?"

"..."

Everyone asked questions one after another.

Regarding the native territories, they were genuinely curious but also genuinely worried.

Previously, they had eagerly signed up to go to Yuxi Village because they knew it was part of the Blue Star Territory and its people were essentially their own kin, so they weren’t afraid.

But the native territories were different. They had learned from the native residents who had arrived in the past two days that the social hierarchy in those territories was very clear, and there was even a serfdom system in place. Most residents struggled to survive, and the smaller the territory, the greater the oppression by the Lord on the residents.

Under such circumstances, the thought of making contact with the native territories made them feel apprehensive.

However, deep down, there was still a flicker of eagerness.

They knew that contact with the native territories was inevitable in the future, and perhaps making contact sooner could help them adapt better to this society.

It was this mindset that made them want to learn more and then figure out how to decide.

Zhou Bai understood their feelings because she felt the same way.

If possible, she would of course want her territory to develop slowly, to grow strong through repeated trials until it could confront external challenges.

But reality wouldn’t allow them to remain isolated.

So, she had no choice but to actively engage and strive to take the initiative.

Facing the puzzled residents, Zhou Bai showed much patience.

"Our territory has received a group of mercenaries; they were subordinates of Commander Bayer. They are very familiar with several territories around us. When we depart, someone will be assigned depending on the situation of each territory, and they will also lead the way. The territory will definitely strive to ensure everyone’s safety,"

"When are we starting? How much time do we have to prepare?" someone continued to ask.

"That will be decided after discussions. If all goes as planned, the results should be out in a couple of days. Teams or individuals interested in participating can keep an eye on announcements from the territory," Zhou Bai straightforwardly said.

Another night over, and the results for the Acting Village Chief would be announced the next morning, which would surely come out as soon as possible.

Now was a time of favorable alignment of factors, and dragging it out might lead to unforeseeable changes.

Even the unpredictable weather in this world was enough to cause significant trouble.

Thus, back and forth, Zhou Bai patiently answered them.

Basically, everyone had a good understanding now.

Looking at Zhou Bai again, people remembered that she had triggered this task and couldn’t help but speak up, "Did you make any suggestions to the territory?"

"Uh-huh, I did."

"Well, good luck then. If you become the Acting Village Chief, you’ll surely do well," the person continued, his expression flattering.

Zhou Bai had good relationships with several NPCs like Bayer, her father was a captain in the official soldier team, she had strong personal abilities, and with the highest contribution, her chances were very high.

So, it made sense to build a good relationship now before she succeeded; who knows, they might get a backdoor opportunity in the future!

Hearing this, Zhou Bai paused, "The territory hasn’t informed me yet, it’s too early to tell. But if I do get appointed, I’ll do my best."

The territory must definitely be in one’s own hands to be secure.

In order to make this matter more deeply rooted in people’s minds, she had better stop being humble.

"I think you can definitely do it!"

"Your contribution is also the highest in the territory."

"This initiative was launched by you, the territory will surely lean towards you."

"..."

The more people talked, the more they felt there was reason behind the words.

Zhou Bai listened and felt a bit helpless, but there was also a slight sense of relief in his heart. It was beneficial to perform well on ordinary days as others had already helped find the reasons.

It was not in vain that he had been so diligent daily.

Having achieved his objective, Zhou Bai soon found a gap to escape.

However, after he left, the crowd near the bulletin board just kept growing.

It also included the native residents who had arrived a couple of days ago.

"What does this say?" Steven and others, having returned with the team, saw that quite a few people had gathered around the Lord Mansion. Naturally, they hurried over, as this place was also a hub of information, which was how they had quickly come to learn about Hope Village.

Still, they couldn’t understand the text and had to ask others.

"It’s just that the territory might go to scout the surrounding territories in the next few days..." Other people, seeing them inquire, relayed the information faithfully.

Once Steven knew what was happening, he quickly went back to find his team members.

They were the native residents who had just returned from Stanluo Village but were professionals. In their previous territory, they were used to lingering in danger and had long been accustomed to the rhythm of surviving in the wilderness.

Therefore, after entering Hope Village, they didn’t need to follow the Hope Village residents; they quickly formed their own team and got started right away.

Of course, there was still a bit of a difference; here in Hope Village, they were more adept.

The territory nearby was much safer.

They didn’t have to worry about being exhausted after fighting a Demon Beast and suddenly having another Demon Beast attack them, nor did they have to fear someone jumping out to rob their gains... There was no longer any need to be constantly on edge.

Thus, even though they still remembered the location of their previous territory and had the capability to return, they had never thought about leaving.

They had already decided to develop well in Hope Village.

So, after listening to Steven’s words, someone spoke up, "Should we participate?"

"Let’s participate! I feel that if we go, we might earn some contribution."

"Yes, since we plan to settle here, we definitely need to strive to earn contribution."

"Compared to others, we are far behind; this is an opportunity."

"Our professional level is higher than other residents, and we know more about other territories; if we participate, our chances are greater."

"..."

As everyone expressed their opinions, there was already a tendency in theirwords.

This place was good, they had the opportunity to live better, why not strive for it!

Seeing this, Steven sighed softly, "Then it’s decided, shall we all go together?"

"Yes!" The others responded unanimously, their expressions becoming even more resolute.

And as people returning to the territory increased, so did the number discussing; several capable individuals instinctively made the same choice.

The next day, the 37th day since the Doomsday Game began.

Zhou Bai summoned the NPCs of the day and took advantage of the fact that many were still asleep to directly issue the mission settlement notice.

When daylight came, many people woke up to see the notification from the system.

"Dear Host, Hope Village Resident - Zhou Bai has become the Acting Village Chief."

"Dear Host, your suggestion has been approved by the system, and you can receive contribution xx."

Looking at the notifications, the attention of the people was mainly on the first one.

It was indeed her!
