As soon as the day broke, the territory that had been quiet all night soon became lively, and more and more people woke up from their sleep.

Just after going out,

"The territory has changed again."

"New buildings added!"

"Fuck, the whole block is full!"

“There are so many shops!”

"There's also a new market opened."

"Not only that! There are many new houses built behind!"

"I care more about shops than houses. I'm going to rent a shop at the Lord's Mansion."

"Yes, you reminded me. It is hard to find a shop in the territory now."

...

...

"It's not just shops, there are also market stalls! You can really go check it out."

"I'm not cut out for business, so I won't join in the fun. I'll just do my job well."

"Hey, me too. It feels good to work in a factory. There's not that much pressure."

"My life was too busy before. After coming here, I have been busy just to survive. The last time I went out and got seriously injured, I just wanted to lie down and have enough food and water."

"You are too indifferent! This world is not that safe. I think it is most important to improve my own strength. No matter what, I still have to go out to hunt monsters and improve my level. The professionals in our mercenary team are now working hard to raise their levels to the intermediate level! It is said that after reaching the intermediate level, the whole person's magic power will rise step by step. Now the teams are taking turns to go to the town of Benguela to kill monsters!"

"Intermediate professionals! Everyone is working towards this goal recently!"

"Although I know this, I'm not someone who can force myself to move forward. And judging from the current development of Hope Village, it doesn't take explosive combat power to support itself. I'm working in the factory to promote the development of the territory!"

"That's right. The development of a territory doesn't just rely on military force. The territory is now recruiting a lot of people with auxiliary professions! It's also very good if you can do well in auxiliary professions!"

"While we were talking, the topic seemed to drift away. Shouldn't the most important thing now be the changes in the territory?"

"Yes! I have a feeling that our territory has probably already developed completely. I mean for a village-level territory."

"I think so too. Let's go and take a look together."

"I better go to work first! There's plenty of time to watch it."

"I still have to go and take a look first to satisfy my curiosity."

"Me too. I've heard that there might be a public building appearing in the next two days."

"As for public buildings, they are usually concentrated near schools. Let's go take a look."

"I don't know when we can be promoted to a small town. If we are promoted to a small town, we can go to more territories. I really want to go out and see more of this world."

"Yes! This is a magical world."

"I really want to see what those big magical cities look like."

"There will be a chance."

“…”

While chatting, different groups of people walked towards different directions of the territory with different ideas.

Many of the new local residents did not speak, but listened silently to the conversations around them and collected information, but each of them had a smile on their face.

After all, every change in Hope Village is moving in a good direction, how can they not be happy!

Of course, in addition to the territory, they also like the cultural environment of Hope Village.

They always learn something different from the residents of Hope Village.

For example, involution, for example, lying flat.

They are all choices, and they are all so appropriate.

In a word, it planted colorful flowers in their originally barren world, making their world rich and colorful.

"Do you know what public buildings will be added to the territory?" Beth took the initiative to ask her husband in the crowd, softening her voice.

She knew that her husband worked in the Lord's Palace and must have some inside information, especially since he had been so busy in the past few days, leaving home early and returning late.

"I know. The swimming pool, sports arena, amusement park and park. The architects in the territory have already drawn up the architectural drawings for these buildings. The territory has no shortage of building materials, so they should have been built already." Locke replied directly.

"What are these? I've never heard of them. We didn't seem to have any of them in our previous territories." Alan listened and sniffed Locke curiously.

"Well, for now, only our territory has these buildings." Locke said with a smile, "I heard from them that this is a place for leisure, entertainment and fitness. I think it should be very interesting."

"Then I'll go." Alan raised his hand quickly.

"I want one, too." Little Jamie and Auston also raised their hands, and even raised their hands in front of Locke and Beth, trying to make their presence felt.

They are much more lively than before.

Looking at his cheerful sons, Locke felt very happy.

He smiled happily and said, "It just so happens that you have a day off today, so let your mother take you there."

"Dad isn't going?" Alan couldn't help but ask. He felt that it was best for the family to be together.

"Father has things to do these days, and I will accompany you when I am done." Locke comforted him, "Also, your father and I have contributed a lot to the construction of these buildings. You can go and have a look, and in the future, work hard to build the territory like me."

"Well, we know that the territory is my home, and its construction depends on everyone!" Alan recited the slogan without thinking.

Locke was stunned for a moment, then he touched Allen's head and asked, "Is this taught in school?"

"Yes." Allen said.

"It's not just something you have to remember, you have to do it," Locke said seriously.

"Yes!" Allen nodded vigorously. "Our teacher said that he would take us to practical classes, such as planting and breeding. We should learn skills well so that we can better protect the territory and our home when we grow up. Only with the big family can we have a small family."

"Then you must work hard." Locke continued to encourage.

Beth, who was standing by, watched this scene with a slight smile on her face.

This scene was so beautiful that she didn't want to destroy it.

"Alan." At this moment, a childish voice sounded crisply from the side.

Hearing the familiar shout, Alan looked over and immediately greeted excitedly, "Fuck Jeff!!!"

Then, the two little guys hugged each other in the crowd, or rather, Alan hugged Jeff unilaterally.

"Uncle, aunt, hello." Jeff was not as tall as Allen, and it took him a little effort to get out of Allen's arms. His face turned red, and he met Locke and Beth's smiling gaze and greeted them embarrassedly. His face turned even redder because of shyness.

"Hello, Jeff." Locke and Beth also greeted him, and then looked at Jeff's parents, Brooke and Lola.

The children of the two families are classmates, so even though they have not had much contact before, they are familiar with each other.

Of course, everyone was busy before and had little time to socialize.

After saying hello, we started chatting together.

"Is your family planning to go shopping as well?" Locke asked.

"Yes, I happened to be on duty in the territory recently. I knew that the territory had been renewed, so I planned to take my family for a walk in the territory, take a break, and have some fun."

"Do you know what the new buildings are about?" Locke asked. To be honest, he didn't know much about it. After all, it was the business of the Urban Construction Management Office, and the staff of the Urban Construction Management Office were basically running around outside. He himself was too busy to have time, so he really had no chance to understand what those buildings were about. Knowing about these buildings was already considered as knowing the news in advance.

"I heard about it from my teammates in the mercenary team." Brooke said, "They used to be from Hope Village and they know the situation better, so they mentioned it."

"Can you tell me about that?"

"I only know of an amusement park. They say it's a place where adults and children can play freely. For children, it's a paradise. There are all kinds of fun little projects, and of course there are exciting projects suitable for adults." Brooke said, "Because I know this, my wife and I took the children there to play. I'm busy on weekdays, and sometimes I have to go out with the team for several days, so I don't have much time to spend with them."

Brooke said this with a hint of emotion on his face.

I continued to work as a mercenary and was still separated from my family.

The good thing about being in Hope Village is that he doesn't have to worry about anything.

"In that case, why not choose a stable job?" Locke asked subconsciously. He chose to work in the territory because he was tired of the days of mercenaries living on the edge of a knife.

He originally thought that he would not be able to adapt to it, but when he really started working, he fell in love with his current job and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"The reason why I came to Hope Village is because I was bullied and had a hard life in my previous territory. After coming to Hope Village, although life has improved, I feel insecure staying in the territory. I still hope that I can become stronger. Of course, mercenaries will earn more money and have relatively more freedom." Brook said simply and mentioned the past.

Although Locke was surprised, he still expressed his understanding, "That's good. No matter which career it is, the one that suits you is the best."

"I thought so too." Brooke nodded.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen you in the territory for several days, and it seems that you have changed from a junior professional to a mid-level professional?" Locke noticed this at this time.

After all, he has been a mid-level professional for a long time and doesn't pay much attention to this aspect.

Brooke listened and smiled, "Yes, I went out with the team to kill monsters. Oh, killing monsters is their way of saying it, which means hunting monsters. Those of us who went out have basically become mid-level professionals. Also, only mid-level professionals can come back to rest."

"So many? Are you going to the area near the town of Benguela?" Locke said subconsciously.

After all, the village chief had gone to the vicinity of Benguela town and only came back when he reached the intermediate level of professional.

Has this become a trend?

"Yes! There are many intermediate monsters there, and sometimes you can encounter high-level monsters. It's much more cost-effective than near Hope Village." Brooke subconsciously used the words of the Blue Star residents when he spoke, "But recently, there are more people and teams going there, and it feels like there are not enough intermediate monsters to share. Our captain did say that we can try going to a town farther away."

Locke was silent for a moment.

What would the lord of Benguela think if he knew?

Forget it! Anyway, they have the territory and the village chief to back them up, so if they think it doesn’t matter, then it doesn’t matter.

Thinking about it, it only turned into three words, "Then do your best."

"Thanks."

While the two were chatting, they found that their wives and children were chatting together, and the two grown men smiled in tacit understanding.

After walking together for a while, they were already close to the lord's mansion. Locke took the initiative to say, "I'm going to work, you guys come with me!"

"Just go to work and don't worry about us. We won't be in danger in Hope Village." Beth said, leaving a kiss on Locke's cheek.

Locke kissed Beth back, then kissed his three children before leaving.

After watching him leave, Beth turned to Brooke and his wife and said, "The kids are having a great time, do you want to join us?"

"Great! I always think our son Jeff is too shy. It would be nice if he could be more cheerful like Alan." Lola said with a smile.

"Your son Jeff is so well behaved! These three of us, taken together, are... monkeys?"

The two women looked at each other and smiled.

They also think that the word "naughty monkey" is really appropriate to describe children who jump up and down.

Just like that, the four little kids held hands and skipped along in front, looking indescribably happy.

Gradually, the group got closer and closer to the school premises and met more and more children. It was obvious that they also knew that there was a new building near the school and brought their children to play.

Coincidentally, today is the school holiday. There is only one such day a week, and for the sake of their children, many parents will make time for it no matter what.

This is why there are so many adults with children in this area.

Therefore, after reaching the school, the probability of the children meeting familiar classmates is greatly increased, and they greet each other along the way.

Look, Beth and her group met another one.

"Tony, Annie." Alan continued to greet cheerfully.

Beth glanced at the other person and naturally recognized that his father was Paul, who currently worked at the special merchandise window of the Territory Restaurant.

At present, various food shops have sprung up in the territory, attracting many residents to linger.

But Territory Restaurant is still yyds in many people’s minds!

Especially with the recent new regulations, tourists are prohibited from dining in restaurants in the territory.

The restaurant's cheap prices are for the residents of Hope Village, and this special treatment makes them feel inexplicably comfortable.

Therefore, there are still many residents who go to restaurants to eat.

As for the window of special commodities where Paul is, it is also a great choice for professionals.

Especially the restorative foods, when you pack them up and take them out, you can fill your stomach and restore your physical strength and magic power.

In addition, there are some foods with special effects, which can stack buffs on your body, which is also very good.

Under such circumstances, they were naturally familiar with Paul.

They also knew that Paul was hired at a high salary.

Even though there are more and more local professional chefs in the territory now, Paul and his colleagues still have their position. After all, their special-effect delicacies cannot be replaced in a day or two. In addition, because Hope Village is a perfect food hotbed, they have developed one delicious food after another, and their position is stable.

Paul looked at them and nodded, holding his little daughter Lucia in his arms.

When Lucia saw so many people staring at her, she subconsciously buried her head back in her father's arms.

Several people looked at Lucia's slightly pale face and moved away without leaving a trace.

"Are you taking a break today too?" Brooke asked.

"Yes, take the kids for a walk." Paul nodded.

"How about together?" Brooke suggested.

Paul looked at his own children holding the other child's hands and nodded in agreement.

The entire team is getting bigger and bigger.

As we chatted, I felt that we were destined to be together.

After all, the three families came to Hope Village at the same time.

"What a coincidence! But Paul should have come alone at that time, and we waited for him to come back to pick him up later. I really didn't think he would leave Djibouti Village so easily. It was a very comfortable village, and I thought I would spend my whole life there." Paul's wife Lilith recalled the past and sighed.

"So where do you think is better now?" Beth asked.

"Hope Village, of course." Lily said without hesitation.

"I think so too. After staying in Hope Village, it's hard not to be conquered by him." Beth said with a smile.

Laura on the side also echoed, "This place is really nice."

After they finished talking, they couldn't help but laugh again.

They all agreed that coming to Hope Village was the best choice in their lives.

This casual chat instantly brought the parents closer together.

Then they started chatting about family matters, especially their own children.

While chatting, they unknowingly walked past the school and the library.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

“Park, this is a park!”

"The park the teacher mentioned."

“…”

The voices of several little kids rang out one after another, drawing their attention.

When they looked, a green world suddenly appeared before their eyes, instantly capturing their attention.

Two updates in one!
