Chapter 275: Chapter 171: The New Phase of Hope Village_2

He felt a tinge of fear in his heart, after all, he had just extorted these merchant teams yesterday, and today they were making a run for it.

If he didn’t divert the Lord’s attention, he couldn’t guarantee that it wouldn’t end up tracing back to him.

Robin listened, glanced at the ranking of the territories of Hope Village, and saw that their position was indeed behind his own!

But Locke’s departure was already a foregone conclusion, and looking at the residents nearby who were watching, he directly said, "Effective immediately, strictly guard the territory gates, merchant teams leaving the territory are not allowed to take their families! Violators will be detained directly!"

After issuing this order, Robin looked at Hudson with a cold gaze and said, "You lead a team to Hope Village and probe the strength of Hope Village for me."

He wouldn’t be polite to those who dared to poach his people!

"Yes," Hudson quickly replied.

Compared to the bloodshed in Barnes Village, Glasgow Village was much more peaceful.

The departing teams were numerous, but most were just going to see the excitement, especially since their own Lord was among them.

With the Lord’s travel, their safety was guaranteed, and it was a perfect opportunity for them to visit Hope Village.

Thus, a procession of several hundred people also set off grandly.

As for Djibouti Village, aside from a few Life Professionals like Paul who had visited Hope Village and their families, and some tourists and merchant teams that came from other territories, the numbers were not as large as the other two villages, but it was not a small group by any means.

Zhou Bai, currently in Hope Village, was unaware that a collective of over two thousand people from the three territories was heading towards Hope Village; her attention was entirely on Hope Village, where the pace of expansion had rapidly increased over the past few days.

First were the shops, the newly added ones had been rented out within a day.

And the residences, the newly constructed ones were snapped up instantly, and this was under the stipulation that each resident could only own one house, and after purchasing a house they could not rent any further, otherwise no matter how many residences were built, there would not be enough to sell.

Zhou Bai was pleased with this situation.

Especially notable was that many of the new tenants and those who bought new residences were local residents.

All the work she had done in the territory was to attract residents to stay in Hope Village, whether they were Blue Star residents or locals, she welcomed them all.

Now, this feedback from the territory was enough proof that she had done the right thing.

What surprised her most was the population.

Unbeknownst to her, it had just passed the three thousand mark.

You see, a number of merchant teams had become residents and left Hope Village to return to their original territories, and the purpose of their return was to bring their families over.

Once these people came back, the population of Hope Village was poised for another explosive increase.

This surge would certainly have the potential to exceed five thousand people.

Once it surpassed five thousand, with the current state of the territory, it would be completely feasible to prepare for an upgrade to a Level 3 Village.

Therefore, barring any accidents, Hope Village was definitely going to enter a phase of rapid development in the near future.

[Dear Host, do you wish to construct residences?]

[Dear Host, do you wish to construct shops?]

At this time, system notifications had already appeared on Zhou Bai’s control panel, clearly, the territory had already determined the critical shortage of homes and shops.

Immediately, Zhou Bai started to check her account.

[Wealth: 3281 Gold 23 Silver 98 Copper]

Recently, with the increase in the flow of goods in the territory, she, as the lord, received more taxes, in addition to the share from the territory’s factory; the sum of these sources had grown her wealth substantially.

With so much money, constructing more buildings to make her territory look more prosperous was not a problem at all.

Following that, Zhou Bai, without any hesitation, constructed 50 shops, as well as 100 second-level and Level 3 Residences.

After the construction was completed, hundreds of Gold Coins disappeared from Zhou Bai’s account.

Considering the number of buildings that would be needed as the population grew, Zhou Bai, who had just felt wealthy, suddenly felt that the money she had earned was still not enough.

According to her estimations, the next influx of population could reach a thousand or even more, and the territory would need enough buildings to accommodate all these people.

This meant that she needed money, a lot of money, to construct buildings.

Developing a territory was like a pit! No matter how much money you had, it wasn’t enough for construction!

"What’s the matter?" Seeing the pained expression on Zhou Bai’s face, Ding Qiurou, who was resting at home today, couldn’t help but ask.

"It’s nothing, it’s just that I’ve constructed quite a few buildings just now and it cost a lot of money," Zhou Bai quickly replied, seeing the look of concern on Ding Qiurou’s face.
