Chapter 265: Chapter 167: Headhunting Efforts Continue

The Medal Award Team arrived the following day, on the 51st day after the apocalypse.

Because the various mercenary teams had eagerly placed a variety of product orders last night, many shops today were busy preparing these orders.

For example, Zhong Yongnian required a large quantity of Beast Meat.

For example, Meng Chengzhou required a large quantity of wood.

...

Other shops also needed various resources in no small amount.

For a time, the amount of resource purchase information across the entire territory increased substantially, and even the price was adjusted according to the quantity provided, offering different purchase prices at different tiers.

While others would offer lower prices for bulk purchases, they would offer higher prices for larger quantities.

The aim was to encourage the Professional teams within the territory to hunt and gather the resources they needed as much as possible.

Therefore, early in the morning, the Professionals of Hope Village, upon seeing the purchase news, rushed out almost in their entirety.

Of course, before heading out, they didn’t forget to have a good meal in the territory’s Commercial Street.

Compared to the Residents of Hope Village, the native Professional teams that had only recently chosen to settle in Hope Village seemed even more content.

"Life is really good now!"

"Yes, compared to the original territory, my sleep quality has improved here; I don’t have to worry about the future."

"What did you guys have for breakfast?"

"I just bought a steamed bun and had a cup of soy milk."

"I had noodles."

"I went straight for the burger combo, so I won’t come back for lunch, aiming to earn a bit more money to save up."

"It’s because the prices are lower here that you can afford to save."

...

The group chatted away, their eyes shining brightly.

This liveliness was unlike anything they had shown before.

This scene was witnessed by Wendell and his companions, causing a hint of surprise.

Because he remembered this team of people!

"Captain Watt, what are you doing here?" Wendell asked, somewhat surprised to see Watt at the head of the team.

He remembered that Watt seemed to be a Resident of Abo Duowei Village, right?

But now, how had he ended up here in Hope Village, becoming one of its Residents?

Although he had only been in Hope Village for a short night, he noticed that most of the Hope Village Residents looked different from them.

Those that looked the same were known to come from nearby territories, and after inquiring the previous night, some were even former slaves redeemed by Hope Village after the Territory War.

But he hadn’t expected Watt to be among them.

Watt, too, hadn’t expected to run into Wendell.

Thinking back to the discussions last night about the arrival of a Mercenary Team from Bengala Town, it all made sense.

"Abo Duowei Village was destroyed. I led my team here to escape, and we decided to stay," Watt explained impassively.

After giving up resistance and starting to consider the advantages of Hope Village, he realized that Hope Village was actually quite good; even if Abo Duowei Village had been more prosperous before, it ultimately wasn’t as good as Hope Village.

He had accepted that and naturally was no longer as discontent as before.

"I thought you might come to Bengala Town. With the strength of your team, you would have had a place in our town," said Wendell, surprised but maintaining a normal expression.

It’s always the same story: the rise and fall of a territory happens all the time.

Just like they were now Residents of Gla Town, if one day Gla Town were to fall, he could immediately move to another territory to live.

Therefore, he didn’t care whether Abo Duowei Village had vanished; what he was interested in was why Watt had chosen Hope Village instead of Bengala Town.

Because before Abo Duowei Village was destroyed, Watt had been interested in coming to Bengala Town.

Hearing Wendell mention this, Watt felt a twinge of embarrassment.

Could he say that it was a choice made out of desperation?

If he insisted on choosing Bengala Town, he would have to start all over there, as his people had chosen Hope Village.

"After discussing it, we felt this place was more suitable for us, so we stayed," Watt replied succinctly.

Yes, suitable!

Looking at Watt’s expression, Wendell paused. He could tell Watt wasn’t telling the whole truth, but from the tone of his voice, he knew Watt wouldn’t change his mind.

"Since that’s the case, it’s also quite good here. We’ll have the opportunity to collaborate in the future!" Wendell spoke.

The cuisine of Hope Village could indeed be said to be unique; given that, over time, its growth trend might not fall short of Bengala Town.

Still, he remained curious about what else, besides the cuisine and prices, could attract Watt and his team to Hope Village.
