Chapter 184: Chapter 110: Should Have Been Used to It_2

If you were to comment on how well she managed her territory, it wasn’t actually that great, it was only because it was done under the name of the Doomsday game system that people were more willing to comply.

Most other territories had their Lord’s identities exposed, and once people knew who the Lord was, they naturally had higher expectations, and even felt that all benefits were monopolized by the Lord. In such situations, it became difficult for the Lord to administer policies, and how could the territory develop positively?

With exposed identities, if a territory was to be managed according to one’s own thoughts, one would either need to resort to iron-fisted methods or be capable of overcoming others through virtue.

Compared to these, it was still easier to hide behind the system.

But if one were accidentally discovered, given the special nature of being a Lord, it wouldn’t pose any danger, so it didn’t really matter.

She didn’t want her parents to be under too much pressure because of this.

"Even so, it’s better not to be exposed. Once you are, things won’t be so easy," Ding Qiurou said bluntly.

Human nature is complex. Her daughter had moved from being idle to taking responsibility for a territory, which was hard enough. If she had to face various demonic challenges as well, wouldn’t it be even more exhausting?

Even if she couldn’t keep it hidden forever, the later the better. The later it was, the smaller the stir caused when the exposure happened.

Zhou Bai listened, feeling deeply moved. Probably only parents would wholeheartedly think for her like this!

Afterwards, the family of three discussed the details further and, making sure there were no issues, Zhou Bai, as the Village Chief, issued a notice.

Once the announcement was made, the residents of Hope Village quickly received it.

Residents who had no plans stayed on their original course, some left their homes, others continued their chores. Only those interested in joining the territorial team hurried to the plaza in front of the Lord Mansion.

Bayer, Heidi, O’Neill, Lucas, Li Xingteng, Cao Jingshan, Ling Mingzhi, and others quickly gathered.

And at the scene, there was a sea of people.

At the blacksmith shop and tailor shop beside the Lord Mansion, Diana and Harrison also came out to join the excitement.

Thinking back to Hope Village as it was when they first arrived compared to now, they were filled with emotion.

"I wonder how their expedition will go this time, I do hope for the best!" Diana couldn’t help but say.

She also knew the temperament of the native territories, which couldn’t be compared with the relaxed environment of Hope Village.

She didn’t know if Hope Village, blank as a sheet on the Stan Continent, could continue to develop at its own pace under the pressure of other territories.

"This time it’s their own initiative, not passive," Harrison said sensibly, "and the people of this territory are very united."

Unity is more important than anything.

Hearing this statement, Diana paused, then looked at Harrison, "I didn’t expect you to have such a high opinion of Hope Village."

According to Harrison, he felt that Hope Village could maintain its unique style among many territories. This recognition, under the identity of Harrison the dwarf, was rare since it’s well-known that dwarfs particularly disliked the human race.

"Hmph, I do have some discernment," Harrison snorted. He couldn’t just tell lies for the sake of his own prejudices, could he?

Most residents of Hope Village were very committed, which could be seen from the weapons repaired and sold daily at his blacksmith shop.

Silver weapons had relatively high durability, but in the hands of these residents, they wore out very quickly, indicating that they used their weapons frequently.

In addition to these combat professionals, the lifestyle professionals also didn’t lag behind, ordering various kinds of goods from his shop. Although these weren’t weapons, they were novel and greatly honed his skills.

Thus, even for ordinary items, he handcrafted them.

Unexpectedly, this drove his skills, stagnant for years, forward, and breaking through to level 20 was within reach.

Only after reaching level 20, could he truly take the first step into becoming a master.

Then, he would also be able to forge even higher-grade platinum weapons.

However, platinum ore was very rare, and he might need to visit some major territories to purchase it in the future...

Thinking too far ahead!

Regathering his thoughts, Harrison silently reaffirmed that a territory that knew how to strive would never fare poorly.

Listening to Harrison say this, Diana felt much less worried.

She, anyway, hoped that Hope Village could continue to be well.

It was at this moment that Zhou Bai and her family appeared.

The moment they appeared, everyone’s attention focused on Zhou Bai.

Seeing her, people felt somewhat emotional.

Bayer Heidi and others felt that Zhou Bai could finally appear openly in front of them to discuss territorial affairs without having to hide, which they found much more convenient.

Li Xingteng, Cao Jingshan, and others looked at Zhou Bai walking to this position today and felt a bit emotional; taking that first step had indeed put her steps ahead, but they would also strive, as the positions above them only grew higher as the population within the territory increased.

Many others felt envy, but they also saw hope in Zhou Bai.

In Hope Village, as long as one worked hard, nothing was impossible!

As soon as Zhou Bai arrived, she noticed all the intense gazes landing on her, much hotter than before.

Being the village chief, from now on she also had to share some of the Lord’s burdens.

But at least it was less than directly assuming a Lord’s role.

Zhou Bai comforted herself internally and then looked at the people already present and said, "Let’s go! Anyone who wants to join the discussion, feel free to attend the meeting!"

She wasn’t good at making lengthy speeches; best to get straight to business!

The number of people attending the meeting wasn’t a problem; their own people hearing directly would only feel more at ease.

Saying this, Zhou Bai already led the way into the Lord Mansion.

Bayer and others watched Zhou Bai’s style, hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t help but smile and followed her in!

Hadn’t they gotten used to it by now?
