Chapter 382: Chapter 218: The Goblins’ Work is Done

At this moment, Song Wenli spoke up after the two parties had finished their discussions.

"When the cement factory starts producing cement, we’re going to need quite a few workers. Chief Miers, you could select some of your people to come over; they could start work immediately." Song Wenli was no fool; she could tell that the territory was currently planning on how to settle these newcomer goblin residents. In the past, her abilities were limited, and such matters were beyond her participation, but now there was a need for some "hard labor," and she had been worried she wouldn’t be able to recruit enough people within the territory! Now, these goblins were just the right candidates.

Chief Miers hadn’t expected such an immediate job opportunity to come knocking and, after his heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly asked, "What kind of work is it?"

"It’s quite simple physical labor; a bit of strength will do, but most importantly, patience is required," Song Wenli replied.

"Okay, we can do that. How many people do you need?" Chief Miers inquired.

"Based on the current materials, we can start by hiring thirty people," Song Wenli said.

"Sure, that’s just fine," Miers responded, the corners of his mouth curling up in a slight smile.

Though the goblins numbered over two hundred, there were only just over a hundred capable of working. Suddenly resolving the employment issue for a quarter of the population...

Not to mention, there was also the task of building the wall.

This had sufficiently settled many of the clan members.

Victor, standing by, felt a surge of joy seeing a part of his race’s livelihood resolved so easily.

Indeed, seeking out the Lord was definitely the right choice!

Zhou Bai saw the gleam in Miers’ eyes and understood that the Clan Leader’s wariness towards their territory was probably quite low now, or rather, he had already accepted Hope Village.

The "demands" of the Goblin Clan were truly too easy to satisfy.

He only hoped they could live peacefully in Hope Village.

With that thought, Zhou Bai spoke, "Then the rest of your goblins who can be counted as laborers can go to the wall. Soon there will be construction workers who will take you to set up the scaffolding."

"All of us? Isn’t that too many?" Miers instinctively said, "You don’t need to accommodate us..."

"No, a Territory War is happening in a few days, and the reinforcement of the wall needs to be completed before the Territory War," Zhou Bai said directly. "This matter is very important for our territory, so we need many hands; your people are not even enough!"

"Don’t worry! We will definitely work hard!" Miers quickly said.

"Let’s go! Go back and inform your people," Zhou Bai urged.

"Alright," Miers replied cheerfully, then led Victor and Denglop in the direction of the district.

While the goblin community was closer, they needed to first call back the clan members meandering around the territory, then announce the good news to all their people together.

Originally, the three of them were walking slowly, but as they moved further away, their steps became lighter, skipping and jumping, as joyful as could be.

Seeing this, everyone around couldn’t help but allow a small smile to play at their lips.

The Goblin Clan was quite adorable!

"It’s only in Hope Village that they can live such a simple life, isn’t it?" Bayer couldn’t help but say to Zhou Bai.

The status of the Goblin Clan on the Stan Continent was well known; at least within his knowledge, no territory treated goblins as well as this, not only taking them in but also "arranging" jobs for them.

While he felt surprised, there was an inexplicable sense of admiration toward Hope Village in his heart.

"They are intelligent beings too and deserve such treatment. In the future, it won’t only be Hope Village," Zhou Bai said in a matter-of-fact manner.

The Blue Star had many territories in this world, and he believed there would be more that would accept the Goblin Clan.

Having been here for nearly two months and experiencing so much, he vaguely felt that there might be a reason for their arrival in this world, which involved all the races of this world.

Of course, this was just his personal speculation. The specific reason would be something to figure out one step at a time.

One day it would come to light!

As Bayer listened to Zhou Bai, he thought of what Zhou Bai had mentioned before: there were quite a few of his kin establishing territories just like him.

Many of them had been educated the same way, with the same ideas. The territories they established would be just like Hope Village.

Thinking of this, Bayer felt a sense of anticipation.

He looked forward to these people changing the Human Clan Kingdom, the Stan Continent, and the world.

"Once Hope Village’s reputation spreads out, these territories will come looking. Then the village chief will encounter many like-minded partners," Bayer said, seeing the expectation Zhou Bai had for his kin and wishing alongside him.

Listening to this, Zhou Bai smiled, "Maybe after this Territory War, there will already be many."

One reason was the many merchant teams traveling back and forth between Hope Village and other territories; word spreads, and chances are they would eventually encounter territories from Blue Star.

Secondly, because of the territory rankings, Hope Village currently ranks second within the Blue Star Territory and is nipping at the heels of the first-ranked village across all territories on the Stan Continent. Although the recent expansion of Hope Village is impressive, it has always fallen short of overtaking the top spot. She had a premonition that as long as she emerged victorious from this Territory War, she would surely take the first place.

She understood well the human yearning for strength.

If the Blue Star people were dissatisfied with their current territory, and they had the capability to change it, their first choice would undoubtedly be the top-ranked one.

Even though, in this world, the number of Blue Star people would absolutely be dwarfed by the native population as time went on, she still hoped for an increase in the number of Blue Star people within her territory.

Taking the above points into account, it was likely that Hope Village would welcome quite a few people from other territories in the future.

Bayer listened and understood the meaning behind Zhou Bai’s words, his eyes firm, "We will definitely win this Territory War."

"Mm."

While the two of them were chatting, Mills and Victor on the other side had already returned to Commercial Street.

At that moment, they saw many goblins wandering between the various shops, their hands holding all kinds of food, and their faces wore satisfied smiles.

Apart from the goblins eating, there were also quite a few goblins mingling in the crowd, chatting with humans and breaking into laughter at times.

Witnessing this scene, Mills felt as if his entire soul was being cleansed.

Hope Village was truly wonderful!

The next moment, Mills approached a group of goblins nearby and announced, "We’re going back for a meeting, there’s an announcement to be made in our community."

Although many goblins were still keen on shopping, they obediently headed towards the direction of the goblin community.

Along the way, they also called out to many lone Clan members.

In no time, a group of goblins successfully made it back to the goblin community.

Seeing them return, the ones who stayed behind in the goblin community eagerly came out to meet them.

"Was it lively outside? Why have you come back so soon?"

"What are you holding in your hands?"

"It smells so good!"

"How do the humans treat you?"

"..."

Question after question emerged, many goblins’ eyes filled with intense curiosity.

"It’s lively, very lively, and there are so many delicious foods that we barely managed to try them all. The humans are very friendly to us, they chatted with us and told us some things about Hope Village. As for why we came back so soon, the Clan Leader called for us, said there was news to share," one agile goblin quickly spoke up, then passed the conversation to Mills.

Everyone’s gaze swiftly turned to Mills.

At that moment, Mills was also ready and spoke up, "There is good news to share with everyone. We just went out and found work for everyone! Now, anyone who wants to work and earn money can come and register with me. You can start working immediately and get paid!"

Upon hearing Mills’ words, all the goblins’ eyes went wide with astonishment.

Work? So soon?

"What kind of work?"

"One option is to go work at the territory’s cement factory, which needs 30 people. It seems to be long-term work and stable, while the other is temporary work for a few days, helping build the territory’s walls, with no limit on the number," Mills explained, while also sharing the work conditions previously discussed with Zhou Bai and the others.

Listening, the goblins were even more incredulous.

However, seeing the Clan Leader looking so happy, they all raised their hands one after another.

It was still the same old saying; no matter how outrageous reality seemed, they all believed in their Clan Leader!

If the Clan Leader said it could be done, then it surely could!

"Me, me, me!"

"I want to go."

"I’m signing up!"

"..."

The scene immediately heated up, with everyone rushing to sign up.

In a short while, except for the young goblin children and a small number of goblins who were temporarily unable to work, all the others had signed up.

After assigning everyone according to their abilities, the whole group of goblins set out majestically in two different directions.
