After a while, the meeting room on the second floor of the lord's mansion was packed with people. There were not enough seats, and many people even stood at the back.

There was a bit of excitement on everyone's face, and no one expected that they could go directly to the meeting room.

Before the meeting started, many people started talking in low voices.

“I didn’t expect everyone to come in.”

"This way you will definitely understand better after listening to it yourself."

"Some people were originally worried that the territory was deliberately using us as cannon fodder, but now it seems that is not the case."

"Cannon fodder? How is that possible! You've been in this territory for so long and you still think like that?"

"But this is not what the territory proposed."

"You sound a bit sour."

"I am a little envious. We were the same people at the beginning."

...

...

"No, they have been working hard since the beginning. Just look at what they have done here. Which of them got promoted after doing nothing? None! If you want to be qualified to do anything, you either need to be diligent or talented. If you don't have that, what are you thinking!"

"No, I just feel that people are really different from each other. Before, everyone was busy with their own things and I didn't feel anything. Now, looking at them, I feel that the gap between them and others seems to be big."

“…”

Similar discussions were heard at the scene, making the entire conference room seem a bit noisy.

Bayer and the others had sensitive hearing, so they naturally listened to these conversations. While listening, they couldn't help but frown.

Although the humans in this territory have very individual ideas, he also discovered some problems, namely, they lack respect for their superiors.

Even though Zhou Bai didn't reveal his identity as a lord, the position of village chief also meant he was the leader of the territory. Their attitude...

All we can say is that these people have both “good” and “bad” personalities!

You can't enjoy the benefits of these people while not accepting their disadvantages.

Thinking of this, Bayer's frown gradually relaxed.

Anyway, it’s only a small number of people, and they’re just talking about it.

The other ghost NPCs were people who had died once, so they had thought of what Bayer was thinking. Although they felt a little uncomfortable with what they had just said, they didn't say much.

O'Neal couldn't figure it out and subconsciously wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lucas beside him.

Anyone with a little common sense should know that Hope Village is different from other places.

If they like the atmosphere here, they have to accept his freedom.

When O'Neal saw Lucas blocking him, he was very smart and suppressed it.

Zhou Bai sat in the first seat. After becoming a professional, her hearing became more sensitive, so she could not only see clearly, but also hear clearly.

But she didn't take it to heart, as she had been prepared for such a thing.

After all, human hearts are complicated, and it's not just talk.

Then he said directly: "Since most people have arrived, let's start the meeting!"

After listening to this, the scene became quiet and everyone looked at Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai continued calmly, "Everyone knows that the main purpose of this trip is to explore the surrounding territories."

As he spoke, Zhou Bai looked at Bayer.

Upon seeing this, Bayer immediately took out a scroll and spread it out on the desk.

Everyone immediately stretched their heads to look and found that the scroll contained a map, marking the territory around Hope Village and the complete route.

"These are the territories I have sorted out. All the territories within two days' journey are here. There are a total of ten territories, of which five are within one day's journey, namely Benguela Town, Aberdovi Village, Barnes Village, Glasgow Village and Djibouti Village. Benguela Town is a level 2 town, and the others are level 3 villages." Bayer introduced them directly. "Benguela Town is the strongest. It is a famous city for the production of silver equipment. As for the remaining four villages, they are mainly engaged in planting, fruits, melons, grains..."

After Bayer finished his introduction, Zhou Bai continued, "So this time, the territory will send five teams to the five territories, and each team will send a team of soldiers."

After the last round of adjustments, the territory's soldier teams have been integrated into a whole, and daily tasks are carried out in coordination with each other. Each type of soldier has several teams, each with different personnel in charge. More teams will be added based on the situation in the future, but currently they are still mainly infantry, archers, and shield soldiers.

Infantry: Heidi (18), Zhou Zhengping (52), O'Neal (27), Lucas (27)

Archers: Cao Jingshan (51), Alick (15), Simmons (10)

Shield Team: Li Xingteng (54), Ling Mingzhi (51), Frey (15)

Humans have the advantage in numbers, but in terms of strength, the NPC team is stronger. Sometimes the difference in level cannot be made up by the number of people.

After hearing what Zhou Bai said, the captains of several teams were mentally prepared and looked eager to try.

They had stayed in Hope Village long enough, so naturally they wanted to visit other territories, especially the native territory.

I don’t know what the difference is between the native territory and their current territory.

At this time, Bayer spoke first, "This time, we will not go. All the undead will stay in the territory."

They are an excluded race on the continent of Stan. If they go to these territories, it will definitely cause unrest. It is better for them not to attract too much attention for the time being.

In addition, many people from Hope Village may have to leave this time. Their presence in the territory can also prevent some accidents. With their strength, they can control some unexpected events even if Lord Zhou Bai is not there.

After Bayer finished speaking, O'Neal and Lucas were also wondering whether they should go along.

They also want to contribute to the territory. After all, the more work they do, the more likely they will be employed.

But they are orcs!

It's not that humans dislike them, but they are afraid of them.

If they are traveling on a friendly basis, is that appropriate?

As if he had seen through their concerns, Bayer looked at the two and said directly, "You can accompany the village chief to Benguela Town to have a deterrent effect."

If you go to the small town of Benguela, you need to be strong to be respected and it will be easier to do business.

Since the lord is going, we must protect her.

"Okay." O'Neal and Lucas nodded in agreement.

Zhou Zhengping originally wanted to go with Zhou Bai, but when he knew that Bayer asked O'Neill and Lucas to go, he changed his mind and said, "Then I'll go to Aberdovey Village."

After Zhou Zhengping took the initiative to speak, Li Xingteng and others also reacted and claimed a village one after another.

The people around were a little confused when watching this scene. They all wondered if this had been decided long ago, but they didn't expect it to be decided on the spot.

Zhou Bai thought this was a good idea, it would save him a lot of trouble!

After watching them finish their distribution, he said to the other residents who were watching: "Everyone, please identify the captains of the soldier teams in each territory. They will lead the teams to various territories. You are free to choose the territory you want to go to!"

Everyone at the scene: “…”

Then, regardless of their reactions, Zhou Bai looked at Ding Qiurou and asked, "How much surplus resources are there in the warehouse?"

Ding Qiurou listened and quickly repeated the information she had sorted out, "The ones with more surplus are white clothes, such as tops and bottoms, shoes, etc., and there is also a lot of animal meat..."

Hearing about the beast meat, Zhong Yongnian couldn't help but speak up, "If the beast meat is sold alone, the price is not as high as the jerky. If you want to sell the beast meat in other territories, can I buy it directly and use it to make jerky?"

In fact, the dried meat that Zhong Yongnian sold in the territory was all caught by his own team. Since there were only so many people, it would be useless for him to make too much.

After learning the news yesterday, he asked people to work overtime to make dried meat of various flavors. The dried meat in the shop had already been swept away by people with a keen sense of smell.

But now it seems that there are five territories around, including a small town. The market is so vast that he can do more.

He knew that the resources in the Hope Village warehouse supplied restaurants and grocery stores. Compared with the limited shelf life of the resources in the backpack, the resources in the warehouse could be stored longer, so he sometimes sold excess meat in the territory and then went to the grocery store to buy it when needed.

At this time, the only warehouse that can ship in large quantities is the territory warehouse.

Since the territory warehouse is also preparing to sell excess resources, it is better to sell them to him.

"Okay." Zhou Bai nodded directly.

Zhong Yongnian listened, smiled, looked at Ding Qiurou and said, "Then we'll talk about it later."

Now that I bought it, although I can't make it into jerky right away, as long as the team goes to other territories once,

Even people from other territories will see the market and come to Hope Village to buy goods... Then the scale of his shop can be expanded, and maybe a large factory can be established...

Zhong Yongnian was thinking deeply and making calculations in his mind.

Ding Qiurou nodded. If it could be cashed out immediately, there would be nothing wrong with that. It would be a profit anyway.

The conversation between Ding Qiurou and Zhong Yongnian was also seen by several shop managers, who also started to think about it.

In this way, each item concerning the trip was slowly finalized in full view of everyone.

After a while, the departure time is confirmed at

As Zhou Bai finished speaking, the people in the conference room gradually dispersed.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course it's the small town of Benguela, it should be very prosperous!"

"I also want to go to the town of Benguela, the capital of silver equipment production, to learn about what equipment is available."

"I just became a professional and I just unlocked two skills. I better go to the village and take a look!"

"Are you going there directly? Are you planning to do any business? I heard that people who went to Yuxi Village before became rich. This time, you will gain more by going to the native territory!"

"Yes! Everyone knows that being a trader can make money. I am prepared to invest all my wealth in it."

“Haha, me too.”

"Fuck, you guys are so bold! Aren't you afraid that your products won't sell in your home territory? This is a magical world, it's quite developed."

"Who says the magic world must be developed? I heard from those NPCs that there are still serfs in this world! There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and the level gap. They may be powerful, but their system and ideas are definitely backward. What we sell is not equipment, but food and daily necessities. It is good quality and cheap, so there will definitely be people who want it!"

"I've also asked the local residents. Not to mention ordinary people, even low-level professionals have a hard time living in some territories! There will be no problem!"

“…”

Everyone left one after another, discussing with each other, with excitement on their faces.

Although the native territory is full of unknowns, it is also curious!

Zhou Bai listened to their discussion and breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really glad that she had found a suitable opportunity to become the village chief. Now everyone's attention was focused on the local territory.

In this way, when this matter is over, her identity in Hope Village will be settled and she will not attract much attention.

Thinking about going to the town of Benguela tomorrow, Zhou Bai felt a little excited.

The continent of Stan is finally about to reveal its true face!
