On the other side, after the new residents gradually settled in, the growth rate of Zhou Bai's account slowly slowed down, and finally returned to calm.
Zhou Bai took a look at the data. Although most people chose to rent, many people also chose to buy directly, which restored a lot of gold coins spent on new buildings.
It can be seen from the number of purchases and sales that these residents from Yuxi Village have accepted Hope Village well.
For Zhou Bai, what's more important is that the number of people has reached the standard that can be upgraded in advance.
[Upgrade conditions 1, 2, and 3 are all completed, and the territory can be promoted. 】
[Dear host, do you want to upgrade the level 1 village to level 2 village? 】
On the control panel, these two notifications continued to flash, as if tempting her.
But Zhou Bai still held back.
After all, the special weather has not ended yet. If it escalates at this time, it will really make things worse.
However, although there is no need to upgrade for the time being, it can be prepared.
This time after the upgraded beast tide experience, she hoped that no more people would die.
Immediately, Zhou Bai started buying again, especially iron ore. Whether it was bows, arrows or other weapons, it was a necessity. Residents could have better weapons, and their chances of survival would be higher no matter what time they were. .
And with such a purchase, the amount at the end of the account has shrunk a lot. After all, the price of iron ore itself is high, and if it is purchased from the system, the price has doubled.
I couldn't help but think of iron ore.
These days, she tried to search nearby based on Harrison's words, but there was still no trace. She could only say that she needed professionals.
Looking at the building Hall of Heroes on the panel, Zhou Bai prayed again. She prayed for two days in a row, and the ones she summoned every day were mercenaries, swordsmen or archers. Although she was a little hopeless, she still Please beg for it!
After all, as long as she summoned Goblin N, it would be easier for them to find iron ore, thus saving her a lot of money.
There are more and more people, and more things are needed to support the territory!
**
The next day, the 27th day of the doomsday game, was still a snowy day.
Zhou Bai, who went to bed late, still woke up before dawn and walked through the snow to the Hall of Heroes.
When summoned for the first time, a black shadow slowly appeared on the altar.
[Name: Dunlop]
[Race: Undead (Goblin)]
[Level: lv.16]
[Identity: Resident of the Kingdom of the Dead]
[Occupation: Craftsman]
[HP: 1600/1600]
[Stamina value: 1600/1600]
[Attributes: Physique (20/20), Intelligence (9/20), Agility (16/20), Defense (10/20)]
[Talent: Mine Prospecting]
[Price: 1 gold coin/month]
Goblin! Prospecting!
It’s really here!
Zhou Bai felt that if she could kiss the Hall of Heroes, she would definitely kiss him hard.
After three days, she finally made her wait!
Soon, an undead goblin with green body, short stature, and long pointed ears appeared in front of Zhou Bai. The first time he saw it, he knelt down and bowed down, "I have met your lord."
When he was kneeling, he didn't dare to raise his head, and his whole body was trembling with fear.
Zhou Bai's expression paused slightly, this goblin seemed to be a little timid!
….
"Get up first!"
"...Yes." Dunlop stood up carefully, then lowered his head, as if waiting for Zhou Bai's instructions.
Zhou Bai didn't say much and continued to summon the next one.
[Name: Victor]
[Race: Undead (Goblin)]
[Level: lv.18]
[Identity: Resident of the Kingdom of the Dead]
[Occupation: Craftsman]
[HP: 1800/1800]
[Stamina value: 1800/1800]
[Attributes: Physique (20/20), Intelligence (15/20), Agility (16/20), Defense (15/20)]
[Talent: Prospecting, Mining]
[Price: 1 gold coin/month]
Still a goblin!
But the data is significantly better than the previous one.
I don’t know what your personality is like?
While he was thinking about it, another Goblin N appeared in front of Zhou Bai with a similar appearance, but compared to the former's fear, the latter's eyes were obviously more active.
After seeing the situation in front of him clearly, his eyes rolled up, and then he saluted Zhou Bai and said, "Dear Lord, Victor says hello to you, you are so beautiful, I have never seen you so beautiful. Man, I will swear allegiance to you to the death.”
Zhou Bai listened, his eyes flickering back and forth between the two people. Is the gap between goblins and goblins so big? Is it because of...the gap in intelligence?
Victor also noticed Zhou Bai's gaze. Looking at the cautious appearance of his fellow tribesmen, he hated iron and said directly: "Some goblins in our tribe don't have very good minds, but their hearts are also loyal."
Zhou Bai looked at Victor and chuckled, "I know your hearts, so I would like to ask loyal Dunlop and Victor, are you willing to look for minerals for my territory?"
"We do!" Victor shouted.
Dunlop, who was on the side, whispered under Victor's pull, "We are willing."
"Then wait for my news tomorrow. As for now, there are vacant houses behind the Hall of Heroes. You can rent them. The houses after house number 39 are all vacant. You can choose as you like." Zhou Bai finally explained, " Also, you don’t need to call me lord when you see me in the territory.”
"yes."
After getting their responses, Zhou Bai left.
Victor looked at Zhou Bai's figure, his eyes flickered for a moment, but then he looked at the extra gold coins in his account and looked at Dunlop beside him, "Come on, let's go take a look at the territory."
"I'm afraid." Dunlop said in a timid voice as he looked at his tribe.
"What's there to be afraid of? If this place is worse than the Kingdom of the Undead, just terminate your employment and go back! But that's probably not the case. I think the lord really needs us." Victor said boldly, and then he lifted the ground. Dunlop took it out.
Looking at the sky outside, I thought for a while and entered the residential area at the back first.
After looking at the immaculate house, Victor's eyes were a little excited. He had never lived in such a nice house before!
Dunlop on the side also looked straight at it, could they really live here?
"Is it going to be expensive?" Dunlop pulled Victor, "otherwise we should just find a place to dig a cave and sleep!"
Victor: No, he never lived a good day before he died.
….
After death and now an undead, he wanted his life to be easier.
After finding No. 39, as soon as I touched the door, I received a message that I could buy the house for 6 gold coins and rent it for 100 copper coins per day.
100 copper coins? Very cheap!
Victor's eyes flickered, and he paid 100 copper coins to rent it, while also getting back 50 copper coins from Dunlop.
Looking at the empty house, they took out a small hammer and wood, and started to renovate their new home.
After the construction was completed, Dunlop looked at the neat and clean house and was a little in disbelief. "Are we going to live here in the future?"
"You can live here after paying the money." Victor was quite satisfied.
Dunlop then carefully lay down on the bed they had made.
At this moment, he felt that it seemed pretty good here.
Victor thought more. He also needed to take a closer look to see if the humans in this territory were friendly to the goblins.
But even if it's unfriendly, as long as the environment remains like this, it doesn't matter if you tolerate it.
**
After Zhou Bai left, he went next door to summon Orc N. Today, the ones summoned were still Tiger-headed Man and Kobold Man. Knowing the stinginess of Orcs, Zhou Bai also told them to go to the military camp after dawn to find O'Neill and Lucas before leaving. Anyway, the orc n who comes first will teach them how to be a qualified employee.
At this time, the sky was already getting bright, and Zhou Bai hurriedly walked home to sleep in his cage. He didn't know when he would be able to summon n without having to come in person.
When she woke up again, her parents were gone.
She was her parents' treasure before, but now they are busy with their own things.
"Complaining", Zhou Bai put on a smile.
In this strange doomsday game, it’s really nice to be able to find a life that suits you.
After putting on the cold-resistant suit, Zhou Bai went out.
The moment the door opened, the noise outside reached his ears instantly.
There were several more merchants in the stalls in the trading area, and Zhou Bai saw several familiar figures among them.
After looking at the panel, I quickly discovered that they were new residents from Yuxi Village. After just one night, they had quickly integrated into it and started a new life.
In front of one of the stalls, Zhou Bai also saw Yun Juncai, who was also setting up a stall. There were two children helping out next to the stall. She learned from her father last night that it was Yun Juncai who brought them from Yuxi Village. Those who came back are now being raised by him.
So far, there are only three children in the territory. Maybe she can help in some aspects. If someone encounters a child who is alone in the future, he can bring him back without any worries.
Going further, Zhou Bai saw many teams gathering in the square in front of the Lord's Mansion. Calculating the time, this should be the third batch. The first batch of soldiers, including her father, Li Xingteng and other captains Mainly, they must be the first group to travel, the second group is a fixed group, such as Zhong Yongnian, most of these people's teams are professionals, resources are allocated uniformly, the more work they do, the more they get, the third group is them. Scattered professionals and individuals form teams every day. They rarely venture into dangerous places, and they mostly focus on collecting.
And this third batch will also be the most suitable team for new residents to join.
….
Sure enough, Zhou Bai saw many new residents among them.
The reason why it can be seen is that the feeling between the old residents and the new residents is particularly obvious.
The old residents were covered in cold-resistant suits and well-equipped weapons, and they stood in the wind and snow with no fear on their faces.
The new residents did not have any cold-resistant suits on their bodies. They were covered in clothes made of animal skins and had a bamboo hat on their heads. They stood in place and kept beating, apparently to increase body heat through exercise.
When Zhou Bai approached, he heard their conversation.
"How about you wait a little longer? Is this a white hat made by the residents? It can only last for an hour and needs to be changed. It also has animal skins. It should still be cold while wearing it, right? Don't get frostbite."
"No, no, hold on, the purchase price for snow-specific materials is so high, we can't let this opportunity pass! It'll be over after a while!"
"Didn't your territory acquire these special materials?"
"No, there is no unlocked tailor shop in our territory, and there are no tailors. The only things we can buy are armor and ordinary clothes. There is no such high-level equipment. Not only that, the price must be three or four times that here. I hope The prices in the village are really good."
"I also think our Hope Village is quite good. It's also because you came late. The cold-resistant suits made by the tailor shop were basically snatched up as soon as they were hung up. After a day or two, we will have more materials collected. , these sets have gradually been enriched, but the price will be much cheaper by then. I bought it first this time, so I won’t be afraid of weather like this next time. When the territory released 100 sets in advance, many people didn’t. If you buy it, the first batch of people who will buy it will make a lot of money in the past two days. Now the suits for various weather conditions will be sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves."
"Did you know about the special weather in advance?"
"Those who mentioned it are mentally prepared."
"I'm really envious that you met such a reliable territory early on."
"I also came from other territories, just earlier than you. The longer I live here, the more glad I am that I came earlier."
"Fortunately, we are here too."
"..."
Similar conversations were not uncommon at the scene. As the hidden lord of Hope Village, Zhou Bai felt a special sense of pride in his heart.
The territory was initially established just to provide a place for the family to live.
By now, her thoughts seemed to be slowly changing.
She hopes that the village can continue to develop well and can continue to protect every resident living in it.
Maybe this dream is grand, but she will work hard.
Thinking about it, Zhou Bai entered the lord's mansion directly.
There were also many people inside who were looking at the information on various materials on the upper panel. After memorizing it, they left the lord's mansion and joined one of the teams.
Zhou Bai stood in front of the bulletin board, pretending to sell excess materials, and then posted a recruitment notice without leaving any trace.
[Recruiting 1 person to go out with Goblin N to prospect for mines. The reward is 100 contribution points and a daily salary of 200 copper coins. There is no occupation requirement. Level 9 or above is first come first served. 】
As soon as it was released, the notification was refreshed directly on the bulletin board.
….
Zhou Bai immediately chose to "register", and at the same time, he also used tasks to ask Dunlop and Victor, who were summoned this morning, to come.
Many people at the scene also saw this notice, but before they could sign up, they saw the notice that the recruitment notice had ended.
"Whose hands are so fast!"
"Didn't I say that the announcements from the Lord's Mansion will be made a little earlier than the system notifications? We are on site, why can't we grab people?"
"Isn't this just 200 copper coins?"
"You don't understand. What's precious is not 200 copper coins, but 100 contribution points! By accumulating contribution points, you can have the opportunity to directly become a soldier, a soldier captain or even a village chief. However, there are too few contribution tasks in the territory."
"I also noticed the contribution, but I didn't pay attention to the details."
"Then who is so fast?"
"I suspect it's someone at the scene."
"..."
As he said that, some people started shooting in the lord's mansion, and then they saw Zhou Bai.
"Boss, is that you?"
Zhou Bai: "...Yes, it's me. I just came to sell the materials and happened to see them."
When the others saw it was Zhou Bai, they understood.
Who doesn't know that Zhou Bai is one of the famous "Liver Emperors" in the territory, and his strength is also first-rate.
"she is……"
"You will know it if you look at the number one contribution of Hope Village." Old residents are popularizing science.
Then Zhou Bai was baptized by everyone's gaze in the lord's mansion. Until Goblin Dunlop and Goblin Victor arrived at the scene, everyone's attention shifted instantly.
"Fuck! Goblin n, new n!"
"The pointed ears are so cute!"
"Shorter than a dwarf!"
"It's still green, Q-version cute!"
"Did the Hall of Valor summon you today?"
"No wonder the territory suddenly issued this mission."
"Are there any mines around our territory?"
"If a mine is found, will there be more territorial weapons?"
"Come on, little goblin, and work hard for our territory!"
"..."
Dunlop subconsciously hid behind Victor under the scorching gaze of the people on site.
However, Victor noticed the curiosity in the eyes of these humans, and there was no trace of disgust in them. Then he listened to the words mentioned in their voices.
So cute, everyone is in disbelief.
Are they goblins? cute?
At this time, Zhou Bai had already arrived at their side and said directly: "I am a resident who is doing the mission with you, shall we set off?"
Victor came back to his senses, looked at Zhou Bai who was hiding his identity, blinked, and then nodded: "Okay."
Then, one person and two goblins walked away under the hot gaze of everyone, their steps almost like the same hand and foot.
After walking far away, they could still hear laughter coming from behind.
At this moment, the two goblins clearly felt that this human territory was different from the human territory they knew.
Third update, big fat chapter!
(End of chapter)
Have a happy summer
