Chapter 211: Chapter 133: Continue the Construction

Inside the Lord Mansion.

Bayer was in his office, reviewing the situation of the territory professionals.

Taking advantage of the Beast Tide, the number of professionals had once again increased over the last few days.

He had also confirmed something.

That was including the Lord himself, every single person who had become a professional had triggered their Magic Talent, which was quite frightening with its hundred percent probability.

He had realized this before, but had not been able to confirm it one hundred percent.

Now, as more and more territory professionals emerged, it became increasingly obvious.

In the long term, this would definitely be beneficial for Hope Village. Once this batch of Mages grew up, it would be an immense force.

However, in the short term, it was too conspicuous, especially since Hope Village was continuously connecting with nearby territories. Sooner or later, this would be discovered, and who knew what kind of consequences that would bring?

Therefore, measures must be taken on this front in Hope Village to downplay its presence.

As Bayer was pondering this, Zhou Bai had already entered the Lord Mansion.

In the grand hall of the Lord Mansion, many people were queuing up to sell their harvest for the day, and staff were maintaining order and answering questions.

Witnessing this scene, Zhou Bai felt somewhat moved.

The more staff the territory had, the more regularized the territory really became.

Though there was still a long way to go before reaching the standards of Bengala Town, the development that had been achieved in such a short time was impressive.

After consoling himself, Zhou Bai headed straight towards the stairs and smoothly made his way up to the second floor, arriving at Bayer’s office.

"Knock-knock-knock—" The sound of knocking interrupted Bayer’s thoughts.

Upon seeing Zhou Bai, Bayer immediately asked in surprise, "When did you get back?"

"Just now," Zhou Bai responded.

"How did it go, did you gain anything from your trip?" Bayer promptly inquired.

Seeing Zhou Bai’s relaxed demeanor, Bayer knew there probably hadn’t been any major problems, and that’s why he inquired about the gains.

"A lot," Zhou Bai replied without hesitation.

It at least determined one development direction for Hope Village in the future.

"What do you mean?" Bayer asked, curious.

Zhou Bai directly shared his ideas at the time and the contracts that were subsequently signed. "I think this is a very good opportunity for Hope Village. I came to find you for this reason."

Listening, Bayer’s eyes brightened. "This is a wonderful idea; indeed, it is a very good development direction for Hope Village.

It’s not about getting people from the territory to go out and do business but to have others rushing to do business in Hope Village. This will surely enable Hope Village to develop rapidly in a very short time.

This is the best-case scenario, but there’s one issue—are the current production capabilities of the territory enough to support this much business?

He could tell that amongst the residents of Hope Village, most were inclined to improve their strength, while few tended towards lifestyles professions.

While combat strength had developed rapidly, the internal management of the territory was suffering from a manpower shortage.

Without manpower, it would be much harder to develop in this aspect in the future.

Thinking of this, Bayer’s previously overjoyed expression became tempered as he addressed the problem directly.

Listening, Zhou Bai pondered, "In the short term, we can supply. Currently, only a few Mercenary Teams have signed contracts, and many others are still waiting and watching!"

"What about manpower for subsequent needs?"

"Recruit! As long as our territory offers good benefits, I refuse to believe we won’t attract people," Zhou Bai stated assertively. "Besides, I plan to invite investment to build factories on several vacant plots to the east. Once the investment is successful, the territory must hold shares, but we won’t handle the subsequent construction. So, if we can turn small workshops into factories, then production outputs in the future won’t be a problem."

"Factory?" Bayer was briefly stunned, clearly another unique term from the Lord and his associates.

Zhou Bai, seeing Bayer’s puzzled look, promptly explained.

As Bayer listened, he fully understood.

"If there are factories, they could manufacture in an assembly line format. We might not be able to cope with the production demand, but I support you on the issue of recruitment," Bayer affirmed straightforwardly.

If they could really recruit people from other territories, it would relieve not just the workforce and economic issues but also the problem of the overly conspicuous structure of Hope Village’s professionals.

At this point, Bayer brought up this issue, wanting Zhou Bai to be mentally prepared.

Zhou Bai listened, and did indeed feel a jolt in his heart, then started to ponder.

After a moment, he confirmed something.

Ellis and their group might have changed their attitude after realizing they were all Mages.

Zhou Bai brought this up.

"Ellis and the rest are now part of Hope Village. Even if they know, they won’t talk," Bayer reassured.

A territory’s ability to garner followers depended on its potential.

With what he knew of Ellis and their group, they wouldn’t divulge this secret; in fact, they would likely have in-depth discussions about the future upon their return.

Hope Village would certainly be part of their future plans.

However, just in case, he would still find an opportunity to probe the situation the next day.

"Okay." Zhou Bai nodded, feeling somewhat more at ease.

Then, the two further discussed specific plans, finalizing details.

After a while, Zhou Bai left the Lord Mansion and began drafting the notices for the next day once he got home.

Looks like the territory was set for continued construction!
