Early in the morning, Zhou Bai received numerous system notifications.

She had already gotten used to it.

These days she received similar notifications every day, signifying that Hope Village’s merchandise was continuously being sold.

As for where it was going, naturally, it was the merchant teams remaining in Hope Village.

From this point of view, her initial goals had been achieved.

After all, these departing merchant teams were just the beginning.

Once their products sold well in their respective original territories, it was highly probable that others would come to hear of it. Furthermore, with the ordinary people who had these merchant teams carry messages back home, as long as more people came to Hope Village, she was confident that she could persuade some to stay.

Now having surpassed half the required population for the next upgrade, she believed it was only a matter of time to reach five thousand as the territory developed.

Zhou Bai, with everything progressing smoothly, focused most of her efforts on her own upgrade.

She didn’t want her Level to hold her back when all other conditions were met.

Leaving her home, she saw her territory becoming more lively.

Compared to before, when most of the population spent their days outside, making the territory seem deserted, now with enough people, there were always some who chose to rest. In such circumstances, there were always quite a few people around.

This sight filled Zhou Bai with a profound sense of achievement.

It wasn’t easy for the territory to grow from nothing to a population of over two thousand!

Before long, Zhou Bai had already reached the city gate.

The liveliness here was even greater, driven not just by the nearby Commercial Street, but even more by the hustle and bustle of the army and Training Camp.

These days, aside from routine patrols, the soldiers spent most of their day training hard in the Training Camp.

This scene seemed somewhat eerie to many.

A moment of thought, and it was clear that this was a command from the territory’s leadership.

The sudden order, coupled with the unrestricted Stone procurement notice, made many Professionals sense the storm ahead.

Even though many Professionals recently profited from the population surge in Hope Village, they did not dare to ignore the most important factor in establishing oneself on the Stan Continent.

Strength!

The stronger one’s personal strength, the better one could protect oneself in the face of any potential crisis.

Therefore, aside from the routine dispatch to kill Demon Beasts and earn Experience Points outside the territory, many Professionals also spent a fair amount of Coins to attend the Training Camp for intensive training.

Zhou Bai glanced around and then headed straight for the gate.

Her Magic Talent was formidable enough, and the wilderness outside was more beneficial to her compared to the Training Camp.

Just as Zhou Bai had not gone far, a voice called out from behind her.

"Village Chief!"

Zhou Bai turned around and, after a quick search in her mind, recognized the person in front of her.

A survivor from Abo Duowei Village, the unfortunate soul whose team nearly ran off.

It wasn’t that Zhou Bai had an exceptional memory; it was Bayer who had been keeping an eye on these merchant teams from other territories.

After all, keeping these Professional adventurers in Hope Village was beneficial.

Well-trained and experienced from traveling far and wide—a raw talent that had to be grasped properly.

It wasn’t just Watt; Bayer also paid attention to Locke from Barnes Village and Morrison from Glasgow Village, among others.

Their teams were among the best.

If they remained in Hope Village, that would be a good thing.

Because of the attention, she was aware of their movements.

Locke planned to develop in Hope Village but did not give up on the Barnes Village market, having returned there with goods two days ago.

Although Morrison came from Glasgow Village, he was from Lovisa City, a city, and he seemed to be a man with resources. Zhou Bai knew Morrison wouldn’t choose to become a resident of Hope Village, but she was content as long as he was willing to sell Hope Village’s goods. Morrison had already left Hope Village today after buying his last batch of goods, most likely heading back to Lovisa City. Zhou Bai was waiting for Morrison to bring back more Magic goods from there. She trusted that with his eye for business, he would know what items could fetch a good Price and were popular in Hope Village.

Lastly, there was Watt, who was intent on going to Bengala Town but ultimately decided to stay in Hope Village to retain his subordinates.
