Chapter 186: Chapter 111: The True Face of Mount Lu_2

Bowman Team: Cao Jingshan (51), Alike (15), Gianvito (10)

Shield Soldier Team: Li Xingteng (54), Ling Mingzhi (51), Muer (15)

Humans outnumbered the other race in terms of headcount, but in terms of strength, the NPC team was a bit stronger; sometimes a gap in levels could not be made up with numbers alone.

Upon hearing Zhou Bai say this, the captains of the several teams mentally prepared themselves, eager to try.

They had been in Hope Village long enough and naturally wanted to visit other territories, especially native territories.

They wondered how native territories differed from their current one.

At this moment, Bayer spoke up first, "This time, we won’t go, all the Undead will stay behind to guard the territory."

They were considered an outcast race on the Stan Continent; visiting those territories would surely cause unrest, better to keep a low profile for now.

Besides, many people from Hope Village might be leaving this time. With them in the territory, they could prevent some accidents, with their power, they could handle unexpected events even in the absence of Zhou Bai, the Lord.

After Bayer had spoken, O’Neill and Lucas were considering whether they should join the excursion.

They, too, wanted to contribute to the territory; after all, the more they worked, the better their chances of ongoing employment.

But they were Beastmen!

Humans did not dislike them, they were afraid of them.

Would it be appropriate if they were traveling as friends?

As if to address their concerns, Bayer looked at them and said directly, "You go with the village chief to Bengela Town, you can serve as a deterrent."

To be respected in Bengela Town, one must have strength, and business is easier.

Since the Lord decided to go, of course, they must protect her.

"Alright," O’Neill and Lucas nodded in agreement.

Zhou Zhengping originally wanted to follow Zhou Bai, but upon learning that Bayer sent O’Neill and Lucas instead, he changed his destination, "Then I’ll go to Abo Duowei Village."

After Zhou Zhengping spoke up, Li Xingteng and the others also reacted, each claiming a village.

The people around were somewhat baffled by this scene; they had thought such matters had been previously arranged, not realizing they were decided on the spot.

Zhou Bai found this quite convenient, it saved a lot of trouble!

Seeing them finish the allocation, he said to the other onlooking residents, "Familiarize yourselves with the captain of each soldier team in each territory. When the time comes, they will lead you to the territories; you are free to choose which one you want to go to!"

The crowd on site: "..."

Then, ignoring their reaction, Zhou Bai turned to Ding Qiurou, "How much of the resources in the warehouse are surplus?"

Ding Qiurou hurriedly recounted the sorted information, "We have a considerable surplus of White Clothes, like tops, bottoms, shoes and the like, as well as a lot of Beast Meat..."

On hearing ’Beast Meat’, Zhong Yongnian couldn’t help but interject, "Beast Meat sold on its own can’t compare to the price of jerky. If we’re selling Beast Meat to other territories, may I buy it in bulk for making jerky?"

In fact, the jerky that Zhong Yongnian sold in the territory was all hunted by his own team, and since there were only so many people, producing too much was pointless.

Upon learning of the news yesterday, he had his team work overtime to produce a variety of flavored Beast Meat Jerky; the stock in his store was long sold out by customers with keen noses.

But now it seemed that with five territories around, and one being a town, the market was much bigger; he could do much more.

He knew that Hope Village’s warehouse supply went to the restaurant and the grocery store. Compared with the limited shelf-life in backpacks, the warehouse could store goods for much longer, so he would sometimes sell excess Beast Meat in the territory and buy what he needed from the grocery store when necessary.

At this time, the only place that could handle large shipments was the territory’s warehouse.

Since the territory’s warehouse was also ready to sell surplus resources, it might as well sell to him.

"Okay," Zhou Bai nodded directly.

Hearing this, Zhong Yongnian smiled, looking at Ding Qiurou, "Then let’s talk more about this later."

Buying now, though he couldn’t immediately turn it into jerky, as long as a team went to the other territories once, they could go a second time.

In fact, people from other territories would see the market and might come to Hope Village to source goods... by then he could expand his shop, and maybe later establish a large factory...

Thinking far ahead, Zhong Yongnian’s mind was abuzz with plans.

Ding Qiurou nodded; if it could be turned into cash immediately, there were no issues, after all, it was profit either way.

And this exchange between Ding Qiurou and Zhong Yongnian was witnessed by several shop managers, who also started making their own calculations.

And so, one by one, the decisions about the journey were hammered out in full view of everyone.

A while later, after confirming the departure would be the day after next, Zhou Bai finally let out a long sigh, "With that, today’s meeting is adjourned; everyone go and prepare."

As Zhou Bai’s words fell, people in the meeting room gradually dispersed.

"Where do you plan to go?"

"Of course to Bengela Town, it should be bustling!"

"I want to go to Bengela Town too, the mecca of Silver Equipment crafting, to see what kind of equipment there is."

"I’ve just become a Professional, with only two Skills unlocked; I think I’ll visit a village instead!"

"Are you going just like that? Are you planning any trade? I heard those who went to Yuxi Village area made a fortune. This time going to the native territory, the profits must be greater!"

"Yes! Everyone knows trading goods are profitable, I plan to invest all my assets into it."

"Haha, me too."

"Damn, you guys are daring! Aren’t you afraid your goods won’t sell in the native territory? This is a Magic World, quite advanced."

"Who says Magic World has to be advanced? I’ve heard NPCs say that this world still has serfdom! The disparity between rich and poor, the gap in levels... they might be strong in power, but definitely backward in systems and thought. We’re not selling equipment but food and necessities, good quality and cheap. Surely someone will want it!"

"I’ve also asked the natives; forget ordinary people, low-level Professionals in some territories are living quite poorly! It will undoubtedly work out!"

"..."

Everyone gradually left, discussing amongst themselves, their faces filled with excitement.

The unknowns of native territory were plentiful, but that also spurred curiosity!

Zhou Bai, listening to their discussions, also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was truly grateful, glad for finding the right opportunity to become the village chief, and now everyone’s focus was on the native territory.

This way, after this affair was over, her identity in Hope Village would settle without drawing much attention.

And thinking of tomorrow’s visit to Bengela Town, Zhou Bai’s heart was also tinged with excitement.

Stan Continent, finally about to unveil its true colors!
