Hudson and his group then followed the crowd to the commercial street on one side.

The commercial street was packed with people at this time. Every shop was full of people, and there were even many people queuing outside.

As soon as he walked in, Hudson felt that the fragrance he had just smelled became more overbearing.

“Gugugugu…”

To be honest, the food in Hope Village is really tempting.

Not only Hudson, but the group of people who came with him all started staring at him, and found it a little hard to see.

Too many! Really too many!

When they were in Barnes Village, they more or less bought some of the Hope Village products brought back by Locke and his friends. The taste was indeed unique and left them with a long-lasting memory. However, they really didn't expect that in the Hope Village, there were more delicious foods than they had imagined, and many of them they had never seen before.

"Captain, those people must have been lured here by the food!"

"Let's go try it and see how delicious it is!"

...

...

"Yes, I'll have an explanation when I go back."

"It would be even better if we could learn their skills back!"

“…”

Hudson's men spoke one after another, and the meaning of their words was clear.

Hudson coughed a few times and then said, "You guys go! It will be easier for us to collect information if we spread out."

"Yes." Everyone quickly agreed.

As soon as Hudson moved, the others dispersed instantly and ran to different shops, then disappeared in an instant, drowned in the crowd.

The speed was so fast that even Hudson couldn't react.

Looking at his teammates who could no longer be found, Hudson paused and went towards one of the shops. There were so many people there, so he just went into one.

But just after Hudson entered the store, he saw several familiar figures inside.

When they saw Hudson, several people's faces changed drastically.

"Hudson!!!" Obviously, these people were once residents of Barnes Village and had been oppressed by Hudson. How could they not have a deep impression of him? This was also their subconscious reaction.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that they were now residents of Hope Village. His expression relaxed and the look in his eyes when he looked at Hudson also changed.

"Why? Did the Lord send you here? Let me tell you, we are not going back anyway."

"Compared to Hope Village, Barnes Village is nothing but trash. You guys are the same. You bully us all the time. We work so hard to fight monsters outside, but in the end, you guys take away a few percent of the profits we earn."

"You'd better go back to Banes Village and don't come here to harm our eyes."

“…”

These people spoke harshly, as if they wanted to vent their past dissatisfaction bit by bit.

Hudson looked at their rude attitude, his face darkened and he subconsciously took out his weapon.

When he moved, the others followed suit.

"What? You want to fight? Come on!"

"Who's afraid of who?"

"This isn't the village of Barnes."

The scene of confrontation between the two sides instantly attracted the attention of many people around, and they all came over.

"What happened?"

"The ones who came later were soldiers from Banes Village. The others were former residents of Banes Village. They had bullied them before, so when they met now, they exchanged a few words and a conflict ensued."

"Isn't this what they asked for? Those who bully others will always be bullied! Now that they have become residents of Hope Village, they are our own people. How can we let them bully us?"

“…”

As they spoke, more and more people expressed their support for the latter.

Hudson's heart tightened as he watched this scene.

He almost forgot that this was not Barnes Village and no one would help him.

The next moment, he put away his weapon and said directly: "Is this how you, Hope Village, treat tourists? I really have learned something new."

He certainly can't handle so many people by himself, and can only rely on his reputation.

But as he said this, Hudson's heart was really pounding.

If these people really did something shady, the lord might not necessarily seek justice for him.

Hudson paused. He was indeed a bit hated in the past.

However, he did not feel that he had done anything. The atmosphere in the territory was like this. If he just kept to himself, how could he gain a foothold in Barnes Village?

As he thought about it, Hudson's expression became even colder.

At this time, the shop owner saw the commotion here and hurried over.

With a bulging belly, he said with a smile, "Eating delicious food is a pleasure. Don't think about unhappy things. Besides, they are guests. Don't be too fussy about it, and don't let them affect their future good life. I'll waive your order today."

After he finished speaking to them, he looked at Hudson and said, "Our Hope Village treats tourists as warmly as spring. You will know it after you stay for a long time. Don't worry! In Hope Village, your life will definitely not be in any danger. By the way, what do you want to eat? Our main signature dish in our store is hot and sour noodles. How about this?"

"...Yeah." Hudson could sense the difference in the store owner's attitude towards them, but he had to bow his head under someone else's eaves, and finally agreed.

Then he found a secluded place to sit down and began to observe the surrounding situation.

After the incident, everyone continued to eat.

At the table next to him, two people were scooping in the bowl with two sticks. They quickly pulled out a transparent noodle and put it in their mouths, but before they could take two bites, the rest slipped back into the bowl.

Can that wood be used to fish things out?

Subconsciously, Hudson took out two sticks from a bamboo tube on the table, and then started to use them like others, but it seemed that he just couldn't use them smoothly.

Just as Hudson was trying, the hot and sour noodles came.

It also comes with a fork.

Looking at the chopsticks in Hudson's hand, the clerk smiled and said, "You must not be used to using these chopsticks. You can't eat with them. Just use a fork!"

"Hmm." Hudson put the chopsticks aside without changing his expression and started eating with a fork.

The moment Hudson picked up the vermicelli and put it into his mouth, his expression changed.

This was a taste he had never tasted before: the sourness of the fruit, the pungent spiciness, the slight sweetness and saltiness, these four were a perfect combination.

He had never imagined that so many flavors mixed together would be so sour and refreshing, with a slight numbing feeling on the tongue.

After a pause of a few seconds, Hudson began the storm inhalation.

He devoured the vermicelli in the bowl in no time. He also gulped down the oily soup.

After eating, although my mouth felt like it was burning, I felt extremely comfortable all over.

happy!

This kind of food is very exciting to eat whether in summer or winter!

"Boss, how much?" Then Hudson went to pay.

"Six copper coins."

"So cheap!" Hudson said in disbelief.

This price was really beyond his expectations.

"The things in our territory are not expensive. You will understand when you learn more about it." The boss said calmly. Such things have happened too many times in the store.

There have been more and more outsiders recently, especially local residents. They all come from more prosperous territories than Hope Village. They have seen high prices and are shocked when they come to Hope Village.

If they didn't make a good profit at this price and hoped to attract enough people, they would really want to raise the price.

"...Yeah." Hudson agreed, feeling a little strange in his heart.

Are those people leaving Barnes Village coming for the good food and prices in Hope Village?

After all, these two points are indeed very attractive.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Hudson quickly put it behind his mind.

It’s definitely not that simple!

Because these two points are nothing for professionals, especially the distance between Hope Village and Barnes Village, they can completely overcome it.

Even if people come to Hope Village for this reason, there won’t be more than a thousand people coming at once. Even though there are many ordinary people here, these ordinary people are basically the families of professionals, which makes them even more unusual.

Because a territory that allows professionals to bring their families with them is definitely a territory with great development potential in their eyes.

There must be other places in Hope Village that attract professionals to settle there.

He will try to find out some news while eating!

Having made his decision, Hudson continued to shop.

But soon, Hudson realized that he had just overthought.

It's impossible to get information while eating!

The food was so delicious: meat patties, sausages, crispy pork, chicken wings… Such unheard-of delicacies completely occupied his mind. He was only obsessed with the delicious food, so how could he have the mind to listen to the news?

"Burp~" After eating a fried dough stick, Hudson let out a long burp.

Looking at the fact that there were still more than half of the shops left to visit, a hint of regret flashed in Hudson's eyes.

He seemed to want to eat more, but his stomach really couldn't take any more.

Fight again later!

Thinking of this, Hudson reached out and rubbed his belly, then continued walking forward.

This time, he said he really wanted to listen to the news around him.

In order to avoid meeting the residents of Barnes Village again, Hudson began to question the original residents of Hope Village.

After all, it is very obvious from the appearance.

"Is there anything fun in Hope Village?" Hudson asked after catching someone.

"Are you a new visitor to Hope Village?"

"right."

"What do you want to know?" Hearing that the other party was a foreigner, the person being asked instantly became energetic and asked back enthusiastically.

"Many people in my territory have chosen to settle in Hope Village. I came here to join in the fun. I just want to know what is here that can attract people to settle down?" Hudson said directly.

Hearing Hudson say this, the man smiled and started introducing himself directly.

"Come, let me tell you, our territory is very cheap, very suitable for living, and also has delicious food. I dare say that no other territory's food can compare to our rich and diverse food. Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that our territory is friendly to people! For ordinary people, as long as they are not lying on the bed and unable to get up, they can be self-reliant in our territory. For professionals, the territory is safe enough, has potential, can enjoy delicious food, their families can live and work in peace, and their children will be educated in the territory in the future. Isn't this attractive enough? ... In short, people who come to Hope Village will definitely live a happy life."

"Honey, do you want to come?"

Hudson: “…”
