Chapter 240: Chapter 149: What to Do When Bewitched

At that moment, Zhou Bai was introducing the territory to the people following her.

"These shops are all opened by the residents of the territory, mostly food. You can visit these shops later if needed. The shops in the territory are concentrated near the Lord Mansion, including a restaurant, a Blacksmith Shop, a tailor shop, and a grocery store..."

Listening to Zhou Bai’s introduction, their gazes turned toward the row of shops nearby.

From these shops, a continuous stream of fragrance spread, enticing the cravings of these people.

Relishing the taste of the food they had eaten on the road, their stomachs growled even louder.

Most people glanced at Zhou Bai but suppressed their desires.

Once they settled down, they would have plenty of time. Now, with the Hope Village Chief guiding them to understand the territory, they still adhered to "rules."

Zhou Bai also noticed their longing eyes but did not allow them to leave the group.

After all, with a group of over a hundred people, waiting for them to finish eating would delay too much time. They would have plenty of time after the activities concluded!

Thinking this, Zhou Bai led them in another direction and began introducing the buildings on this side, starting with the first one.

"That is the barracks, a place for training Soldiers. The territory doesn’t restrict recruitment and is open to all residents," Zhou Bai stated directly.

This statement immediately caught the attention of many people.

Recruiting all residents? Did that mean they had a chance once they became residents?

You should know, in other territories, Soldiers must be Professionals, and even related Professionals at that. Once someone becomes a Soldier, life becomes much easier.

"Are there any requirements?" someone couldn’t help but ask.

"You need 500 Contribution."

"What is Contribution?"

Hearing many puzzled voices, Zhou Bai raised an eyebrow. It seemed that most territories didn’t have this feature implemented, or perhaps, other Lords didn’t care about the residents’ contribution to the territory, or they needed absolute control over the territory, not allowing such relatively fair data.

"It’s a person’s contribution to the territory, obtained through various tasks in the territory. Tasks are generally announced on the bulletin board of the Lord Mansion, and when newly released, the residents within the territory can also receive it, but the messaging is exhaustive, the most complete details are still at the Lord Mansion. Besides the territorial announcements, there are also some recruitment ads, which those needing work should pay more attention to," Zhou Bai explained.

"Only 500 Contribution to become a Soldier? Are there no other prerequisites?"

"Correct," Zhou Bai responded directly. The territory should not be recruiting Soldiers separately now; the new Soldiers in the territory are all those with more than 500 Contribution.

After this threshold was implemented, the quality of Soldiers improved a lot. Moreover, Contribution is hard-earned, and those willing to exchange it are determined to become Soldiers, thus generally increasing the corps’ loyalty.

Because of this, Zhou Bai plans to introduce more administrative positions in the future.

After all, some people have already exceeded 500 Contribution, but have not exchanged it to become Soldiers, which only means that the appeal of being a Soldier is not strong enough for them.

Soldiers ultimately rely more on force, and many people are not really capable in that area. Even if they meet the Contribution standard, they would not choose to be Soldiers, but administrative positions are different.

And among those listening, quite a few noted this down, at least intending to learn more about it, to avoid this territory deliberately laying out this bait to use people as cannon fodder on the front lines.

Such practices in territories are not unheard of, turning the position of Soldier into a potentially life-threatening rather than beneficial role.

Skepticism is also a survival rule in the Stan Continent.

At this time, Zhou Bai had already begun introducing the second building.

"This is the Hospital. If you’re sick or injured, you can come here for healing."

Hospital???

Doctor???

A whole building designated for this? Isn’t that a bit extravagant?

Most importantly, in their territories, they had never heard of such a building.

"Is it expensive?" This question echoed the concerns of the ordinary people behind Zhou Bai.

"Not expensive, basic healing ranges from 100 copper coins to 1 silver coin, depending on the severity of the injury," Zhou Bai said.

She had been to Bengala Town, which had no Hospital, confirming that the Hospital is a Special Building.

But while other territories had no hospitals, there were quite a few medical facilities. Having just one Doctor could establish a medical facility, and comparatively, the fees were quite high.
