Chapter 260: Chapter 163: Empty Their Pockets!

Bayer listened to the words "Capital of Gourmet" and, for some reason, felt a spark of warmth in his heart.

Indeed, the words "gourmet food" are irreplaceable in the Human Clan Kingdom, and even across the Stan Continent.

The very word "eat" is etched into their human genes.

Even though he was now an Undead, having once been human, in Hope Village, he couldn’t escape the temptation of gourmet food.

However...

"Didn’t we say that there are thousands of territories like Hope Village in this Human Clan Kingdom, with people similar to ours, and even some who are more formidable? What if our paths overlap?" Bayer asked, considering himself one of Hope Village even though there were other similar territories.

Zhou Bai paused, then said, "There may be, but so what? We just have to work hard on building our own territory, and besides, our territory has more than just gourmet food."

She didn’t care about the other territories; she just wanted to see Hope Village strive to develop.

In modern day Blue Star, there are many cities, many of which attract people through food. The market is vast, and instead of thinking about competitors, it’s better to think about improving our competitiveness.

Gourmet food is a mass-produced product, and strength is as well.

Bayer looked at the calm Zhou Bai and chuckled softly.

Compared to the Lord’s confidence, he was still a step behind!

"I will steadfastly follow you, village chief," Bayer whispered earnestly.

Zhou Bai could feel the sincerity in Bayer’s tone and smiled, "Good! I’m truly fortunate to have met you."

The reason she could still remain behind the scenes was none other than relying on these NPCs like Bayer.

She had a natural trust in them.

Upon hearing this, Bayer seriously said, "It’s our fortune, actually."

He couldn’t forget the moment Charlot had targeted him and Zhou Bai had argued defiantly.

No territory’s Undead could stand proudly in sunlight, but they could!

"Meeting each other, that’s our fortune," Zhou Bai concluded.

Upon hearing this, Bayer smiled.

And with that, the topic was dropped.

It was then that they encountered Zhong Yongnian and others.

They had received news from the Mercenary Team from Bengala Town and specifically came looking for someone.

Seeing Zhou Bai, their eyes seemed to brighten significantly.

After all, they had just sent off a merchant team and made a decent sum of money, and then immediately reinvested it in production, and now that a new team had arrived, they certainly wanted to exchange products for money and negotiate long-term contracts.

"Village Chief, have people from Bengala Town arrived?" Zhong Yongnian asked.

They had thought they would have arrived earlier but were delayed by so many days.

"Yes, they should be having their meal right now; you should be able to meet them if you go there," Zhou Bai said, not involved in the business herself and thus indifferent to greeting them.

After all, her territory had many capable people.

Zhou Bai looked at Zhong Yongnian and the others, her eyes filled with deep satisfaction.

All of these were her "carefully cultivated" "tool people"!

"I heard that a team from the Royal Capital of this world has also come?" Zhong Yongnian continued, as someone under him had mentioned it.

Although the Royal Capital of this world was nominally powerful, it certainly had its strengths, and most lords of territories would give it face.

Speaking of which, its inherent strength and heritage were the strongest.

After witnessing the prosperity of Bengala Town, they were very curious about the Royal Capital.

What would the world’s strongest territory look like?

"Yes, they came for a knighting ceremony, to knight our Lord," Zhou Bai said.

"Lord? Does our territory have a Lord?" Meng Chengzhou, who had come along, asked in surprise.

"According to them, our territory definitely has a Lord, but they do not know who it is."

"So, the one being knighted is..."

"Lord of Hope Village. No one else can replace him anyway, so they don’t bother," Zhou Bai said, which was somewhat unexpected.

"Didn’t they say the territory has to accept the knighting?" Zhong Yongnian said, glancing at Zhou Bai with a hint of probing.

Indeed, he still suspected that Zhou Bai was this mysterious Lord.

Because Zhou Bai had risen to power very quickly, apart from her own abilities, there must have been some tricks involved.

He had observed that Zhou Bai was the village chief, her father was among the first to become a Captain of the Soldier Team, and her mother was the Warehouse manager, controlling all the resources of the territory.
