Chapter 384 - 220: The Allure of Hope Village is Too Great!

Chapter 384: Chapter 220: The Allure of Hope Village is Too Great!

Yes!

It was simply too incredible!

The originally soggy mud walls had turned so solid, like a massive boulder, making the already imposing walls even more daunting and oppressive.

"God! The thickness of this wall must be three times wider than before, right? It looks spectacular."

"I’ve only ever seen such walls in cities, oh no, the city walls might not even be as ... sturdy as this."

"With walls like these, the sense of security is truly sufficient."

"I feel like my face hurts a bit, I thought they were just playing before, now I feel... I was too ignorant."

"What exactly is concrete? It clearly looks so soft, yet in just a day’s time, it turned into such a hard entity."

"No matter what, the result is good! With such walls, how safe our territory must be!"

"I was also afraid that our territory wouldn’t last long, now I’m not scared anymore!"

"This territory has just been built up in such a short time, the future is promising indeed!"

"..."

At the scene, many people were discussing and couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the exposed wall.

Using a bit of force, they felt a slight pain, proving that the wall was hard enough.

After experiencing it, these residents all wore excited smiles on their faces.

They were happy about the strength of their territory.

Then they found familiar Blue Star residents who already knew the inside story.

"Did you all know about this already?"

"Now I finally understand what your expressions meant yesterday, they meant pride."

"Exactly, exactly."

"I knew it from the first sight yesterday."

"We’ve seen it before!"

"We didn’t say because we thought if we told you, you wouldn’t believe us."

"Concrete really is a great invention."

"How is it made? We’ve truly never seen it before."

"It surely requires a special formula."

"Do you know it?"

"..."

"Don’t tell us, even if you know; this is definitely another ace product for our territory, it’ll earn revenue for us, don’t share it with us."

"..."

The Blue Star residents looked at the natives’ unwillingness to hear more and couldn’t help but smile.

Indeed, they said no more about the formula.

In reality, they knew some of the raw materials, but the specific proportions were probably very important to form the final product. They had only known for a few days that Hope Village had brought back a lot of shells, and to have it take shape in such a short time was truly commendable for their territory.

Among them, Blue Star residents truly had a wealth of talents!

They were also happy; they didn’t know the situation of other territories, but what they knew was that, under their observation, Hope Village was getting better and better, and a sense of achievement silently grew in their hearts.

Talking together, both Blue Star residents and the natives, as long as they were residents of Hope Village, were excitedly happy about the "change" in the territory.

Whereas for outsiders like Wendell, Wilson, and others from merchant teams and mercenary squads, watching the stout walls brought a hint of complexity to their expressions.

Yesterday, they were indeed somewhat speculative about the actions of Hope Village, but deep down, they didn’t truly believe Hope Village could succeed.

Yet, it had succeeded, and in a way, they had never seen before.

They once again witnessed the uniqueness of Hope Village.

"What else does Hope Village have up its sleeve?"

"Each thing that appears is challenging my understanding."

"Yes! The novel food is, and so are all sorts of unique ideas."

"I really want to know what their previous world was like."

"If their former world was so good, why did they come here?"

"Suddenly, I feel this place is really nice, very suitable for our families..."

"..."

The murmurings of the mercenaries continuously reached the ears of Wendell and Wilson, both of whom felt somewhat different.

Hope Village always surprised people when they least expected it.

Of course, they were surprised too, but they wouldn’t express it like their teammates did.

The two met at the city gate, and being so close, they instantly noticed each other.

Wilson had spent several days in Hope Village and had shopped at Wendell’s store, naturally recognizing him and knowing that Wendell was not a resident of Hope Village, but chose to do business there only.

After thinking for a bit, he approached him directly.

"Mr. Wendell, how are you feeling now?" Wilson asked, "Are you considering developing your future in Hope Village?"

Wilson knew that with the batch of mercenaries that had come with him to Hope Village, almost all had moved their entire family business there, even though many had gone to do business in other territories, their families were still here! They either joined hunting and gathering teams of Hope Village, found jobs, or started their own businesses, clearly living better than before.

Especially a mercenary team called ’Maria’, which was doing a unique business in potions in Hope Village due to its comprehensive range of products.

He couldn’t believe that Wendell would be oblivious to all this.

Listening to Wilson’s words, Wendell knitted his brows, "What does that have to do with you? Also, don’t say you’re willing to settle down in Hope Village."

Not settling down meant there was definitely something he couldn’t give up.

What he couldn’t give up was his many years of investment in Bengala Town.

Seeing Wendell looking somewhat angry, Wilson spoke up, "I didn’t mean anything by it, it’s just that someone in my team seems to be getting ideas..."

He had, in fact, promised to bring their families for vacations and settled their hearts.

But today’s event in Hope Village also had a significant impact on them.

According to his understanding, as long as the security of Hope Village was ensured and his preferential treatment of the residents was evident, it was really enough to sway most people.

Would they like to return to the days of being "oppressed" after staying in such a territory?

Certainly not! Even if that oppression was only "identity" related.

Of course, for Wilson, a part of the ruling class, this environment was not very friendly.

That’s why he wanted to ask Wendell’s opinion.

Listening to Wilson’s explanation, Wendell paused, "As long as you come to Hope Village, you have to get used to such situations happening. Previously, a Mercenary Team Captain was planning to join Bengala Town, but just by staying in Hope Village for a while, almost all his men nearly ran off, and he had no choice but to stay in Hope Village to keep his team together."

Wendell was indeed being frank.

Hope Village was too charming.

"What you can do," Wendell continued, "is make your men feel that living under you is better than living in Hope Village, and they won’t leave." Wendell offered advice, adding, "That’s what I do, and mainly because the two territories are close, my men can also enjoy the benefits from Hope Village. Relatively speaking, they can accept it. There are several territories near Hope Village that treat their residents well and not much has changed, and those that don’t treat their residents nicely see residents coming over daily. Over time, if they don’t make changes, perhaps they’ll be... drained?"

Perhaps out of empathy, Wendell thoroughly educated him.

Wilson fell silent instantly.

At that moment, a team emerged from Hope Village.

"Captain, now you won’t have to worry anymore."

"Hope Village’s walls are so strong now, its defensive power must be high too, it can’t be broken through like Abo Duowei Village was."

"Hehe, lucky we moved to Hope Village in advance, our lives have already stabilized."

"Feels like there’s more energy in working now."

"..."

The excitement in the troops contrasted with the embarrassed expression of Watt.

Watching Wilson staring at this team, Wendell whispered softly, "That’s the team I was telling you about."

Listening, Wilson looked them up and down.

He understood.

He still had to make an effort to avoid becoming the next unfortunate soul!

These days, cultivating a right-hand man who matched his expectations was extremely difficult!

Watt, feeling Wilson’s gaze, felt his looks were somewhat strange, casually withdrew his gaze, and led his men to work.

In fact, he had indeed adapted to life in Hope Village.

One undeniable point was that life was really good in Hope Village.

And Wilson, after talking with Wendell, immediately took his team and left, also considering how to treat his team members well.

At the scene, the crowds gathered inside and outside the city walls grew larger!

Its appearance also signaled that Hope Village had entered a new developmental stage!
