Chapter 207: Chapter 129: Leaving

Hope Village’s products swiftly took over the market in Bengala Town at lightning speed, and in just two days, all the goods the personnel brought were sold out, considerably fattening the pockets of Hope Village residents. Then they sharpened their knives, so to speak, and headed off to various shops in Bengala Town.

Magic Bookstore.

"Do you have any basic magic books?"

"Which aspect are you looking for?"

"What aspects do you have? Basically, anything suitable for a basic-level mage."

"Magic Theory, Thousand Magical Herb Guide, Magic Potion and Elixir, Basic Transformation Technique, Basic Spells... these are mainly for combat. Additionally, there are lifestyle skill books, such as Magic Life Guide, which includes Cleaning Spell, Fire Spell, Moving Spell..."

"I’ll take all of the ones you just mentioned!"

"Right away!"

Magic Scroll Shop.

"Do you have any scrolls suitable for a basic-level mage?"

"Lots. Those rows over there, help yourselves!"

"Do you have any basic recommendations? We don’t know much about this."

"Basic-level mages can be such a hassle. Alright, I’ve got some time, so let me give you an introduction. Space Scrolls can store a lot of items, even living demon beasts; Contract Scrolls can help mages contract demon beasts; Teleportation Scrolls allow for spatial transfer; there are also elemental scrolls that collect elements on regular days, which can be released all at once in emergencies to cause huge destruction... These scrolls come in basic, intermediate, and advanced levels, and each increase in level multiplies the effects."

"Give us three basic scrolls of each type you just mentioned, for all of us."

"Of course, sirs, please wait! Would you like to drink some juice first?"

Magic Wand Shop.

"I heard you can customize magic wands here. How long does it take?"

"If we have the right wood, it can be done on the spot."

"How do I choose the wood?"

"Come, place your hand on this Magic Testing Stone."

"..."

"Water 9, Wood 2, Earth 1. We have the right materials right here. A basic magic wand is one Gold Coin, do you want one?"

"Yes! If I want to upgrade to an intermediate magic wand later on, do I need to come back here?"

"No need, you just need to find a wand maker, and they can upgrade it for you. But the materials required are pricey, and often you need to provide them yourself. Here at my wand shop, we have ready-made generic intermediate wands for five Gold Coins. Upgrading without your own materials will cost you ten Gold Coins."

"Can a basic-level mage use an intermediate magic wand?"

"Of course, and the power is quite formidable. However, if your Magic Value can’t sustain it, using it may deplete all your magic power, which could be very dangerous in the wild."

"Custom-make me one basic magic wand, and then give me an intermediate magic wand as well."

"... Are you sure?"

"I’m sure."

"Me too."

"I want one as well."

"..."

This way, all of the Hope Village residents began their frenzied shopping spree in Bengala Town.

In a short time, the renowned name of Hope Village once again gained great acclaim in Bengala Town.

Those who were eyeing the Hope Village residents’ Gold Coins gave up on their plans to rob them after hearing about their impressive deeds.

The coins had been spent, converted into various magic items, most of which were for basic-level mages. They could steal them to sell for money, but if the residents banded together to fight back, those with ill intentions might get bombarded by the residents’ stockpile of items, which could spell disaster for them.

The reward wasn’t worth the risk, so they had no choice but to give up!

"Everyone has spent their Gold Coins, and no one is watching anymore," Yun Juncai followed Zhou Bai, reporting the latest situation; the suggestion was also his idea.

Although contracts had been signed with several Mercenary Teams, the forces in Bengala Town were not limited to just Mercenary Teams. To be safe, it was only by converting the large amount of Gold Coins earned in the eyes of others into goods that they could completely rid themselves of others’ prying eyes.

Especially when it came to some of the Intermediate Professionals within the territory.

With less attention from them, the journey back for the Hope Village Residents would only be safer.

"Then we will set off tomorrow back to Hope Village, you see about spreading the word!" Zhou Bai instructed directly.

"Just us?" Yun Juncai asked, what about those Mercenary Teams?

Hearing this, Zhou Bai directly counter-asked, "Would you feel at ease with them following us?"

Yun Juncai suddenly realized. Indeed, even with a contract signed, one couldn’t be completely reassured. If the others were to revive their previous thoughts halfway, wouldn’t they be caught in a trap?

"We’re on guard, and so are they, so they will probably set out two days later!" Zhou Bai said, during a phase of mutual exploration, it was better to maintain some distance.

"Mm," Yun Juncai responded lightly.

"I wonder how the teams heading to the other territories are doing?" On their end, having gone through a minor twist, they had managed to end perfectly.

"Don’t worry! The places they’re heading to are villages, with strengths not inferior to our territory. There won’t be any problems," Yun Juncai said directly, having learned from the mouths of the Bengala Town Residents that there was a clear distinction between villages and towns; not until a settlement reached the status of a town would many powerful Professionals and Mercenary Groups gather, especially armed groups that could only establish a Mercenary Center and form Mercenary Teams in towns and above.

Those like them in Bengala Town had it the toughest!

This time they were truly lucky. If anything had gone slightly amiss, they wouldn’t have been able to return to their territory all safe and sound.

Watching Yun Juncai speak so confidently, Zhou Bai felt quite reassured in her heart; she still trusted Yun Juncai’s deductions.

Afterward, Zhou Bai glanced at the assortment of Magic Items in her backpack, and her spirit relaxed slightly.

The harvest from this trip was indeed huge!

On the whole, it was too worthwhile!

Now, she was eager to return to the territory, to use the items they had bought to push Hope Village onto a new stage!

**

The next morning, the Hope Village Residents, who knew they would be setting out today, gathered early at the city gates.

Their large numbers turned them into the focal point among the crowd.

In fact, the gazes of many revealed a hint of reluctance.

The arrival of Hope Village had been a positive event for the Residents of Bengala Town.

Not only did they purchase valuable and inexpensive goods, but Hope Village’s subsequent spending spree also filled their pockets.

How could they not love such a team?

Anyway, the words "Hope Village" were etched into their hearts, and given the chance in the future, they would certainly make a point to visit.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai stood among the group, counting the population. Toward the end, however, she noticed a slight decrease in the number.

Her inquisitive gaze turned towards the head of their team.

Was there an incident, or...

"...They’ve decided to stay in Bengala Town, voluntarily," one of the team leaders said, struggling a bit before reluctantly explaining.

Zhou Bai listened, fell silent for a moment, then said, "As long as no one’s in trouble, that’s fine."

People always strive for higher places—it has always been so!

She was never one to force things!

It was just that, deep in her heart, she also harbored an ambition.

To build Hope Village even better! In the future, to make everyone long to be part of it.

"Let’s go! We set out!" Zhou Bai declared, and the entire group left mightily.
