Chapter 246: Chapter 152: Another Day of Attempting to Poach_2

In the following days, she believed, more people would remain in the territory.

To keep these people around, and also for them to bring in more people in the future, she had to work hard to make the grand promises she had drawn come true.

The next moment, she continued to operate on the Lord Panel.

First of all, the residences.

Although she had built a new batch yesterday, she found that the newly constructed ones were mostly all sold out or rented out.

It was a good time to continue building new ones.

Now, she had basically phased out the Level 1 Houses, which were intended as welfare for the earliest residents, so the initial selling price was only a bit higher than the cost price.

As the population increased in the future and land became more limited, she naturally had to save land in the territory and use it in the appropriate places.

Speaking of which, the houses in this world were still not very space-efficient; she planned to replicate modern high-rise buildings in the future to truly save space!

At this time, Zhou Bai planned the new residential construction.

When she first established the residential area, Zhou Bai was prepared. The Level 1 and Level 2 residences were built together, forming a community model. When the Level 3 Residences appeared later, there was actually a sizable lane separating them, and subsequent houses were also built in the second batch.

During this period, the housing in the second community also seemed saturated.

Therefore, today, Zhou Bai did not hesitate to clear more lanes and began constructing the third community.

In the third community, Zhou Bai still focused on Second-level and Level 3 Residences.

After planning the roads and locations, Zhou Bai directly constructed the houses.

After the houses, it was time for Commercial Street.

With the success of the first batch of shops, the remaining ones were gradually rented out, leaving few behind, and it was time to supplement them.

If things went according to her plan, the shops in Hope Village would become increasingly popular.

The earlier they were built, the longer they could be rented out, the more she would earn.

The next moment, she built thirty new shops in one breath, directly in the second row.

After the shops, it was time for the territory’s Tavern.

As business interactions between Hope Village and the surrounding territories increased, the number of merchant teams and Mercenary Teams coming to Hope Village was likely to increase. They would be the main force of the territory and also a source of income; she naturally needed to be well-prepared.

By yesterday, before their arrival, she had already built a batch, but it was still not enough.

Moreover, compared to the rent from residential houses, taverns had a much higher return on investment, and this was money earned from outsiders—it was foolish not to earn take it.

Without hesitation, Zhou Bai built several more, but she did not choose to concentrate them near the city gate; she also built some around the inner parts of Commercial Street.

The location at the doorway was already good enough; it was still necessary to distribute some people deeper to boost spending at nearby shops.

After making adjustments and ensuring there were no issues, Zhou Bai chose to generate.

The moment she generated, the amount in her account started to rapidly decrease.

Watching her balance drop by half, Zhou Bai felt a slight pain in her heart, but upon seeing the swathes of new buildings, she felt she could handle it.

Her mouth couldn’t help but curl into a smile—this swath of real estate was a territory she had conquered.

Although many of the houses were sold, the shops, hotels, and buildings were definitely hers.

As the population increased in the future, so too would her income.

Compared to real estate before the advent of the Doomsday Game, this was nothing less.

Her life as a landlady also continued in this world.

It was another beautiful day!

Right after that, Zhou Bai got up.

At home, her parents were no longer there.

Both of them knew that sometimes Zhou Bai had to get up early and then catch up on sleep; they would never disturb her before going to work.

After washing up, Zhou Bai headed out directly.

Although it was still early, the territory was already very lively.

Especially in the trading area, there were many unfamiliar faces increasing on the originally idle stalls.

Unlike the residencies and shops in the territory, which could only be rented or purchased by residents, Zhou Bai had relaxed the restrictions for the trading area stalls, as the territory needed to interact with others—there had to be some space for other merchant teams.

Wasn’t that the case with the square outside Bengela Town?

She did not yet have the confidence to open a market outside the territory like Bengela Town, but within the territory, it was feasible.

Sure enough, due to this relaxation, the originally empty trading area was now packed, and goods unavailable in Hope Village were being sold.

In front of one Demon Beast stall, there was indeed a crowd gathered.

The Demon Beasts sold were well trained.

These trained ones were different from the Demon Beasts they had subjugated before; these could be contracted as combat partners.

Who wouldn’t dream of having their own Demon Beast!

"Fierce Demon Lion, knows Fire Magic, can assist Mages in combat."

"Wind Demon Dog, extremely fast, a good helper for scouting."

"Earth Demon Bear, has very high defensive power, known as a moving Shield."

"..."

As the stall owner introduced them, a wave of awe resounded at the scene.

"How much are these?"

"From 5 to 10 Gold Coins, such a cheap price to take a tamed Demon Beast home!"

"That’s too expensive! Far more than weapons!"

"Well, they are obviously more useful than weapons! How about this? Seeing as I’ve just arrived in this territory, to open up the market, I’ll give you guys a 20% discount."

"Make it cheaper."

"I can’t make it any cheaper, transporting these Demon Beasts regularly uses scrolls, plus there’s all sorts of wear and tear during transport..."

"All right! Then I’ll take this Earth Demon Bear."

"Okay then."

"..."

Besides, the other stalls also clearly had their gains.

Watching these transactions being completed before her, and even collecting taxes from them, Zhou Bai smiled.

This was the advantage of population movement!

The commerce in the territory would flourish as the population increased.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai headed straight toward the Lord Mansion.

She hurried to a meeting to understand the situation in the nearby territories and see if there was an opportunity to poach some walls in the future.

Moments later, the summoned individuals had already gathered in the conference room.

Everyone’s expression showed a bit of excitement, today’s meeting was a good time to discuss achievements!

Their efforts in other territories could now be properly discussed in front of the Village Chief and others.
