Chapter 255: Chapter 159: The Medal Award Team Has Arrived_2

She was even more impressed!

"You’re the one!" Zhou Bai said directly.

"Does the village chief know me?" Watt was a bit surprised, he had hardly had any contact with Zhou Bai!

"Uh-huh, I’ve heard Bayer talk about you," Zhou Bai said, raising an eyebrow at Watt.

Bayer!

That undead!

Watt was also deeply impressed by him.

He never expected that the undead, ostracized in other territories, would live so comfortably in Hope Village, especially Bayer, who even managed all the internal affairs of the entire territory.

Or rather, it wasn’t just the undead, but also beastmen, goblins, and dwarves.

Each of them was living rather well in Hope Village.

And most of the Hope Village Residents saw their presence as nothing unusual, making newcomers like themselves careful not to appear too astonished.

However, listening to Zhou Bai’s response, Watt always felt that there was a particular implication in the other’s eyes, one that he did not wish to know.

Not dwelling on this issue, Watt straightforwardly asked, "Village chief, are you planning to go hunting? Alone?"

"Uh-huh."

"Do you want to join us?" Watt offered.

Since he had decided to build his life in Hope Village, naturally, he wanted to foster a good relationship with Zhou Bai for better days ahead in Hope Village.

"No need, I am used to being alone," Zhou Bai refused, but considering the underlying meaning of Watt’s invitation, he continued, "Now that you’ve stayed in Hope Village, you are a member of our territory. Whether you arrived early or late, as long as you have the ability, you’ll eventually secure a position for yourself. I think highly of you all, so keep up the good work."

Motivational talk? She could dish it out too!

Watt caught the hint in Zhou Bai’s words, was taken aback for a moment; his intentions might have been quite obvious, but he didn’t expect such a frank response from the other party.

But speaking so openly, it somehow left him at a loss for what to say next.

After a pause, Watt then asked, "If I reach 5000 Contribution, can I directly become the Soldier Team Captain?"

Indeed, Watt had set his sights on the Territory Soldiers.

After all, being part of the soldier team had good benefits, and since Hope Village was a new settlement, the current captains didn’t have a higher Level than him; wasn’t climbing the ranks the natural course of action for him?

To his knowledge, the current captains didn’t have 5000 Contribution yet! But they were still captains.

The captain who went to Abo Duowei Village, Zhou Zhengping, was actually the father of Zhou Bai, the village chief!

That’s why he wanted to get in touch with Zhou Bai, to make her aware of his capabilities.

Zhou Bai was not foolish; everyone knew that the current captains’ titles were somewhat unmerited.

After a moment, Zhou Bai directly said, "When they became captains, our territory didn’t have the Contribution System. Our territory has only been established for over a month, and we have come this far thanks to everyone’s hard work. Later, the Contribution System was implemented, but that doesn’t negate their contributions. They deserve their positions as captains, and reaching 5000 Contribution is only a matter of time for them. Additionally, ever since we added the Contribution requirement, the minimum standard to recruit soldiers has been 500, without exception. For captains it’s 5000, and there will be no exceptions. If you can earn 5000 Contribution sooner than they do, you too will be a Soldier Team Captain, perhaps even the first official one."

Zhou Bai spoke calmly.

She had long been mentally prepared for Watt’s kind of ambitions.

As the territory’s population increased, so would disputes.

Watt was surely not the first person to think this way, nor would he be the last.

However, no matter what their thoughts were, Zhou Bai was not going to change the established rules.

Of course, those who disagreed would have to hold it in.

Newcomers would have to rely on their own abilities to slowly persevere.

After all, it was their own fault for arriving late!

Listening to Zhou Bai’s words, Watt felt reassured.

This was taking care of the original residents of Hope Village!

He couldn’t deny there was logic to what she said; those who had suffered with the territory deserved more recognition than those who joined later.

However, having learned this, he felt relieved.

If Zhou Bai took care of those "old-timers," once they became the "old-timers" of the territory, the territory would protect them too.

Living in a territory, what more could one hope for besides safety and prosperity? It was, of course, the attitude of the territory towards its Residents.

Compared with Abo Duowei Village, Hope Village had something that had always been overlooked by all other territories.

Fairness!

This was something other territories did not possess.

Due to the shadow of the destruction of Abo Duowei Village, Watt had been set on moving to Gla Town, naturally leading him to subconsciously overlook the advantages of Hope Village.
