Chapter 245: Chapter 152: Another Day of Attempting to Poach

Morrison was entirely lost in thought.

The school’s regulations were indeed very surprising.

It was outright a challenge to the authority of those major territorial schools.

But on second thought, since they did not directly use the name of an academy, it could only be considered one of the structures in the territory and a benefit for the residents. Moreover, being in a small territory, legitimate academies would not care, it was not as if they were deliberately picking a fight.

"Captain?" Seeing the other party’s shocked and dazed expression, the reporter was confused. Why was the captain reacting more strongly than they were?

Hearing this, Morrison came to his senses and said directly, "So it’s true that they can enroll just by being of age? It’s not just a ploy to coax you, is it?"

"No, the village chief personally assured it." The speaker repeated Zhou Bai’s words.

Having the village chief’s guarantee meant that Zhou Bai could be held accountable for this matter. If they couldn’t follow through later, her reputation and the reputation of Hope Village would be ruined.

Therefore, the school in Hope Village would really admit students without any barriers.

This was what excited them.

"Many people must be tempted!" Morrison said.

Even someone like him, an intermediate professional, couldn’t resist such temptation.

Not for anything else, but for his child.

His child was already twelve years old and had been tested for the absence of a magic talent, unable to pursue the magic path; he was considering having him take up the mercenary path. Although it was a bit dangerous, it was a stable future prospect, and with his guidance, it would definitely go smoothly.

The only pain was the thought of his young son having to mix it up in the wilderness.

But now, it seemed there was another option, one that would allow his son to study properly in school and enjoy life a bit more.

"Yes, many families with children were very happy at the time! It solidified their decision to become residents. I saw quite a few professionals among them, and for those who weren’t, their scales of decision were likely tipped quite a bit."

"Where is this school located?" Morrison continued to ask. He had had no chance to explore the territory yesterday; maybe he would have a chance to take a look tomorrow.

The reporter replied awkwardly, "It’s not built yet! But it should be soon, the area has already been demarcated, and the location is pretty good. I heard it’s going to be built alongside the factory, which is where Hope Village produces goods."

Morrison listened and regained his rationality, "So, there are no teachers yet."

A territory without a single intermediate professional wouldn’t have any decent teachers, although having professionals teach the younger children would already be good enough.

"I’m not sure about that. Maybe they have some sort of plan!"

Morrison fell silent for a moment, then said, "We’ll wait and see."

The factory seemed like a reliable venture; Hope Village had connected with so many territories and merchant teams; there would be no shortage of goods when the time came.

Indeed, it was a business with a lot of potential and seemed quite dependable.

After the school matter was dealt with, Morrison began to think about the Beast God Temple and the Heroic Spirit Hall.

"Did you see any undead or beastmen?"

"No, they didn’t mention them."

Morrison pondered, perhaps they were afraid to scare those who had just arrived?

If they did not appear tonight, they should probably appear tomorrow.

"Alright, we’ll keep an eye on these things going forward. What we need to discuss now is the business in Hope Village. Let’s discuss the specifics."

Following that, Morrison discussed the details with his two confidants.

That night, there were many like Morrison who made the most of the time to discuss intensely.

After all, interest is the driving force behind human actions.

Meanwhile, many others were dreaming of the future in their sleep.

The next morning, Zhou Bai woke up to a plethora of system messages.

[Visitor Milne became a resident.]

[Visitor Roderick became a resident.]

[...]

Overnight, the population of Hope Village had increased by more than a hundred people, with most decisions being made in the middle of the night.

Zhou Bai glanced at the data on the Lord’s panel.

The population of the territory was now two thousand six hundred people, of which over eight hundred came just yesterday, and among these eight hundred, more than two hundred had become residents.

This ratio was worth rejoicing for Zhou Bai. After all, their knowledge of Hope Village was only a night’s worth, and such a decision within a single night indicated that Hope Village indeed had the conditions to retain people.

The efforts she had made before were not in vain.
