Goblin community.
After the arrangements made by Mills and Victor, the goblins have basically chosen their own houses.
As the patriarch of the clan, Mills had a lot of savings. In addition, he had sold a lot of ore, so he directly bought a two-story stone house.
The stone house was empty, but Mills was in a very happy mood.
He really likes this "home" because it means stability and peace, and he doesn't have to worry about his situation all the time.
At this time, Victor and Dunlop also came over.
Just now, they took out their savings and bought a house in this community. Although renting a house is also possible, they still feel that having their own house gives them a greater sense of belonging.
When he came over, he looked at the look on Mills' face and smiled, "Master Patriarch, do you plan to renovate the house yourself or hire a specialized team to do it?"
"What's the difference?" Mills came back to his senses and asked quickly.
"How about decorating it yourself? That means going to a carpentry shop or other places to buy some matching furniture according to your own needs. How about decorating it by a specialized team? That means allocating a more reasonable planning layout and the required furniture. The latter will be more expensive, but will look better." Victor began to introduce, "I plan to find a specialized team to decorate it."
...
...
"Let's go take a look first." Mills was also tempted, but he had already bought a house, and it would be too much of a cost to hire someone to renovate it.
They are new here and their identities as goblins are not simple, so shouldn’t they keep a low profile?
"Okay!" Victor nodded. He was well aware of Mills' concerns, but he believed that Hope Village would slowly help his people dispel their concerns.
"Let's go and see how the tribesmen are doing first?" Hills said.
Afterwards, the three of them started walking around the community.
In the community, the goblins looked at the houses that belonged to them one by one, and there was a light in their eyes that they had never seen before.
When they saw Hills, they all smiled.
"Master Patriarch."
"How is it? Are you still adapting?" Hills asked.
"It's nice. The house is big."
"I won't be afraid of wind and rain anymore."
“The main thing is, you don’t have to worry about being caught all of a sudden.”
"The most important thing is that the children can live a slightly more stable life, without having to worry about them dying due to various reasons while being displaced."
“…”
The goblins said one after another that their demands were not high and that everything they had now made them feel satisfied.
Mills listened to their words and sighed deeply in his heart.
This world is really unfriendly to them, the goblins.
Fortunately, they have now found a place like Hope Village, which gives them the opportunity to settle down.
I just don't know... Is this just a temporary thing or...
Worry flashed through Mills' heart, and his eyes became firm.
In order to ensure that this little bit of stability can last, he must lead the goblin tribe to gain a foothold in Hope Village and become an indispensable existence in this territory, because as long as they are valuable, Hope Village will never give up on them.
Thinking of this, Mills continued, "Do you want to go for a walk in the territory? And buy some daily necessities."
Seeing that some of them had packed up and were just wandering around the community, Mills understood their fear and could only think of ways to get them to leave.
Only by going out can we better integrate into Hope Village.
When the other goblins heard Mills say this, they looked a little hesitant.
"Can we?"
"I'm afraid they might hate our presence in the territory."
"What if they don't like us and chase us away?"
"How about asking you, Patriarch, and Victor to buy it for us? It's okay for us to stay here."
“…”
Mills felt a little sad after listening to these words and glanced at Victor beside him.
Victor understood and said directly: "No, we will go to the territory to stroll around, eat something, and buy some things to make them earn money. They will only welcome us instead of dislike us."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! You'll know if you go out for a walk. You have to get used to it. I can bring it to you once or twice, but I can't always do it for you! And aren't you hungry now? A lot of food in Hope Village is only delicious when you eat it on site!" Victor had just finished speaking when he could hear the rumbling sounds from the stomachs of many goblins.
After a slight chuckle, Victor continued, "I'd like to recommend some places to eat. First, the cafeteria has a wide variety of dishes, including vinegar spare ribs, pork chops, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and other tourist dishes. They are delicious and filling. The commercial street has a variety of snacks with a variety of flavors..."
As Victor spoke, the goblins couldn't help swallowing.
I'm really tempted!
"Go, let's give it a try!"
“That sounds delicious!”
"Father, I want to eat."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
“…”
At the scene, some little goblins couldn't help but act coquettishly towards the goblin.
With this stimulation, more and more goblins gathered around.
Of course, there are still quite a few who would rather hide in this community and not go out. Victor and Mills do not force them, because they know that as long as some of the goblins go out and give back, they will definitely be able to drive other goblins.
When they are willing to move freely in Hope Village, it will be time for the goblin clan to be completely integrated into Hope Village.
Soon, Victor and Mills led a group of goblins out of the goblin community and headed towards the commercial street.
Looking at their departing figures, many goblins had a hint of envy in their eyes.
The ones that they envied the most were the group of goblin slaves that had just been rescued.
"Jerry, do you think they can be treated kindly by humans?" other goblin slaves asked Jerry.
Jerry is the highest level among them, almost a mid-level miner. Therefore, he is the most popular in the goblin slave market. Implicitly, these goblins all listen to him.
Jerry looked at the curious eyes of the goblin beside him, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I don't know if it's all, but there are definitely some people who are willing to accept us goblins, especially the village chief. After all, we are now real residents, which is better than anything else."
"Then why don't we follow along?"
"The money we have now was all loaned to us by Chief Mills. How can we be qualified to go with him? We'd better have a good rest and take good care of our bodies. We can talk about it after we make money in the future." Jerry said directly.
This Hope Village is a world they have never touched, how could they not want it? But they don't have the confidence to do so now.
However, there is hope.
Hearing what Jerry said, the group of skinny goblins laughed for the first time in a long time.
Yes! Let’s make money first!
On the other side, Victor and Mills had brought the goblins to the commercial street.
The commercial street was crowded with people at this time, and the aroma of food was floating in the air.
Looking at such a lively scene, Mills felt a little uneasy, and the goblins behind him were even more so.
People, people, people...all people!
In the past, they avoided this like the plague, but now they are trying to integrate.
The hearts of many goblins began to beat wildly again.
Even the patriarch Mills, who had made sufficient mental preparations, was still a little timid when faced with reality.
He looked towards Victor for help.
Seeing this, Victor smiled and then said, "Wait a moment."
He felt that no matter how much he talked, it was not as important as practice.
The next moment, Victor ran directly into several shops on the commercial street and came out after a while.
And for every shop they entered, a salesperson came out and walked towards Mills and his group.
"If any of you need decoration, come to our store. We have decoration drawings suitable for various situations."
"If any of you need to buy furniture and kitchenware, our store has them all, and they are all complete. We can also deliver them to your door and help you install them."
"Who among you needs to tour the entire territory? I can introduce you to the territory. The price is not expensive. The more people you come, the cheaper it is."
“…”
As these people spoke, there were earnest expressions on their faces.
Mills listened, paused, and said, "I want to go and see the decoration."
"Come, follow me." The man said quickly.
After Chief Mills spoke up, the other goblins also had the courage to speak up with their demands.
In a blink of an eye, the group of goblins were divided up by the people in these shops and rushed to different shops.
In a short while, it became a unique landscape in the territory.
After completing all the actions just now, Victor returned to the side of Chief Mills.
He knew very well that the chief of the goblin tribe would be the key to the integration of the entire goblin tribe into the territory, so he naturally followed Chief Mills and took him to gain a deeper understanding of the entire territory.
Soon, they arrived at the house decoration shop.
When we entered, there were quite a few people looking at the blueprints and various models.
Mills also took a glance at the several models in the center of the shop.
"What kind of house did you buy?"
"Level 3 residential building."
"A two-story stone house! Then come to area C and take a look. These are the most mainstream house types of level three residences so far..." The salesperson had already started introducing them enthusiastically, and then attracted Mills' attention. The other goblins who followed him also looked at these designs with shining eyes.
It was at this time that Wilson led the team into the store.
When I saw so many goblins in the store, I looked at them several times.
Observing goblins has become his occupational disease.
After seeing a lot of goblins wandering freely in the territory just now, he felt that he had not come to the human territory.
I didn't expect that there is still one here.
The goblins would come to this shop to hang out, and it seems that they have settled down and bought a house in Hope Village.
This Hope Village actually gives the goblins the same rights as other residents.
It was totally unexpected.
However, as a slave trader who sold goblins, he also had other issues to consider.
That means he buys goblins from other places and sells them to Hope Village. Will Hope Village be willing to accept them?
Or in other words, would these goblins want it?
Thinking of this, Wilson went straight to Mills and Victor.
"You must be the chief of the goblins!" Wilson greeted enthusiastically.
When he saw Wilson, Mills' body tensed up instantly. He did not forget that this was a slave trader who sold goblins.
"Don't be nervous, I just came to discuss business with you!" Wilson said with a smile: "I have bought enough goods I want in Hope Village, and now I have to go back to my own territory. We still have a lot of goblin slaves in our territory. I wonder if you still want them?"
Goblin slaves are relatively easy to sell, but there is no stable supply. If these goblins need them, a stable trade can be developed in the future.
In particular, he can spend less time running around in other territories and focus on traveling back and forth between the two territories, which will yield higher rewards.
After listening to this, Mills was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said without hesitation, "Yes."
"How much does it cost?" Wilson asked.
Mills listened and naturally planned to take as much as he could, but when he thought of the funds he had on hand, he was silent for a while and then asked, "How much can you bring at a time?"
"It's about the same as this time, more than 20! Too many, the risk is relatively high." Wilson said, "About once every seven or eight days."
If it works, I can earn more than a hundred gold coins a month, which isn't much after deducting the costs, but it saves me a lot of worry!
"Okay." Mills agreed immediately.
"You pay with one hand and get the goods with the other! If you don't have enough gold coins..."
"We'll be ready." Mills responded seriously, and instantly felt that the burden on him had become heavier.
Apart from the ore on their bodies, do the goblins have any other income?
"Okay!" Wilson nodded, then ignored it and turned to look at the floor plan of the shop.
This is also a business opportunity!
After watching him leave, Mills looked at Victor and asked, "Is there any suitable job for us in Hope Village?"
"I can't think of anything else except mining, but we can go find the village chief." Victor also understood the importance of this matter.
This is a huge opportunity for the goblins.
They have to seize it.
Only when the goblin tribe has more people, they will have more cohesion in a territory, and perhaps they will be able to fight against their fate of being arbitrarily controlled by others.
"Hurry up and find the village chief." Mills said without thinking.
He no longer has the mood to look at these house types.
The reason why he agreed was that he saw that Zhou Bai was really willing to accept their goblin tribe. In this case, as the head of the village, she should also make some arrangements for them.
They don't need any time to rest now, what they need is the opportunity to make money.
"Let's go." Victor said, and took Mills towards the lord's mansion.
The village chief's whereabouts are erratic, and the lord's mansion is the fastest place to find her.
At this time, Zhou Bai was in the cement factory that had just been put into operation.
The reason I came here is that cement has been researched.
After all, there are many middle school students in the territory who are researching cement formulas. After seeing the recruitment notice of the territory, they
[Congratulations host, you have created building materials, please name it. ]
After she used the word cement, the cement in front of her already had its own introduction.
[Item: Cement]
[Introduction: A brand new building material, the effect needs to be verified. ]
"Village chief, I succeeded." Song Wenli said excitedly.
As a deep fan of novels, she had fantasized about traveling through time. She had also studied the formulas of cement and glass. As she was an engineering girl, she remembered them very well.
After coming to this world, she also thought about using these formulas, but she only had the formulas but no materials! She could only sigh in despair! Then she threw herself into the battle.
However, she was a weakling in combat and had only managed to become a magician. Although she had some talent in using magic, she was still a fragile person. She had to be extremely careful when killing monsters outside, so naturally, her gains were not as much as others.
Just when she thought it would all be over, the notice that someone was needed to make cement was like her "savior".
Now that she has figured it out, she is even more excited.
"Well done." Zhou Bai's eyes lit up instantly after hearing this and he gave Song Wenli a thumbs up.
"Hehe." Song Wenli touched her head and smiled.
"Since you were assigned first, you will be in charge of this cement factory from now on. On behalf of the territory, I hire you as the director of the cement factory. Is there a problem?" Zhou Bai said directly.
"Is it that simple?"
"It's not easy. I have to thank you for building the cement so quickly!" Zhou Bai said directly, "On behalf of the territory, I will give you 500 contribution points and 5 gold coins, and I will sign a contract with you later. Is there any problem?"
The best ratio of cement can be experimented out sooner or later, but for the current territory, it is crucial to do it sooner!
"No problem!" Song Wenli said hurriedly, with joy in her eyes.
The others listened with some envy in their eyes.
But I am also convinced, after all, who made the other party
"Then you should quickly arrange the cement production work." Zhou Bai said quickly, "I will need a lot of cement in the next few days. I will send people to assist you in your work. As for the personnel who come to the site for the experiment, you will arrange their positions in the factory."
Since it is a building material, she wants to try what kind of chemical reaction will occur when used on the city wall?
She had a hunch that after adding cement, the defensive capability of the city wall would definitely have a qualitative leap.
If arrangements were made before the territory war, the probability of winning this territory war would be even greater.
"Yes." Song Wenli said quickly. In fact, considering the territory's recent attitude towards preparing for war, she also had an idea of how to use this cement.
The next moment, Song Wenli called several "experienced" people on the scene and quickly started to prepare a plan.
She believed that those who came for the experiment were definitely weak fighters, and they would definitely be willing to find a suitable job in the territory.
Sure enough, everyone agreed.
They started a heated discussion right in front of Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai, who was watching this scene, left the cement factory directly.
As soon as I came out, I saw Bayer coming with Victor and Mills.
"Are you here to see me? What's the matter?" Zhou Bai asked directly.
"We came here to ask the village chief if there is anything we goblins can do for you. We hope to get to work right away."
"You have sold a batch of ore and have money in your hands. Do you need to be so anxious?" Zhou Bai said with some surprise.
"There's a reason," Victor said quickly, explaining the deal between Wilson and them.
After listening, Zhou Bai finally understood and looked a little embarrassed. She had not considered this point.
Now the other party has considered it, but she cannot provide any assistance in the short term.
"Is there any problem?" Victor noticed Zhou Bai's expression and asked quickly.
"In three days, Hope Village will face a territory war. The attention of the entire territory will be focused on fighting against other territories. We can't spare the energy to arrange for you for the time being. Even if we can, it is impossible to arrange it all at once, and the salary is not generous enough to allow you to buy your people for a long time." Zhou Bai said honestly.
"The ore we have now is enough to sustain us for a while, and we can be arranged later." Mills said hurriedly, "No matter what the task is, our people can definitely complete it well, as long as you give us a chance."
Zhou Bai had already sensed the other party's urgency. He paused and then said, "We do have a mission right now. Our territory is preparing to reinforce the city wall and we need a group of manpower. We can hire you directly, but since the job doesn't require any technical skills, the salary won't be high. Are you willing to do it?"
"Sure." Mills responded quickly.
"Then just wait for notification!" Zhou Bai said, and then he looked at the other party's satisfied look, as if he had thought of something, and continued, "As for after the territory war, if you want to get a large amount of copper coins, the best thing is to look for minerals. If you find a mineral, the territory will give you enough rewards."
Thinking about the talents of the goblins, Zhou Bai still said the following words.
Mills listened, looked at Zhou Bai's clear eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "We will definitely do our best."
The fate of the goblins is due to minerals. Previously, it brought them misfortune, but now it brings them hope. They will not reject the territory they need, but will work harder to use this talent to turn misfortune into good fortune.
Seeing their expressions, Zhou Bai's mind moved slightly, and then he said: "The territory is in need of a material now. If you have it or know where to get it, the territory is willing to buy it at a high price."
The goblins are very knowledgeable about minerals and should have a lot of information sources. Maybe they have seen limestone before.
The number of shells they salvaged last time was limited, and this time they might be almost all used up on the city walls. In order to build roads in the future, they would need to find substitutes.
Simply relying on other teams to find shells is too single a channel.
"What material?"
"A kind of block-shaped white stone. If there are impurities, it will appear light yellow or light gray. It often appears near the sea, but it also appears in some inland areas." Zhou Bai recalled the geographical knowledge he had learned and described it as best as possible.
Mills listened, frowned and thought seriously.
After a while, his eyes lit up, "Is it a stone similar to a shell?"
He knew of a kind of stone that he had analyzed at the time. This stone was very similar to a shell and appeared in large quantities. He once suspected whether it was a mineral, but later research found that it had no energy and was not a mineral, so he put it out of his mind.
Now hearing Zhou Bai talking about it, the memories of the past instantly came to mind.
He actually knew the origin of the stone, and it was not far from this place.
If so, maybe they will really receive a large sum of copper coins next.
"Yes, their ingredients are basically the same." Zhou Bai said quickly, his eyes brightening.
Is this news?
"Then we know where it is!!!" After getting the confirmation, Mills said excitedly.
Zhou Bai's heart skipped a beat when he heard these words of certainty, and he asked directly, "Is it far?"
"Not far, just..." Mills thought and was about to say it, but was stopped by Zhou Bai.
"You just need to take us there afterwards. As for the location, we'll talk about it after we've discussed the details of the cooperation." The goblins have been miserable enough, and Zhou Bai really doesn't intend to take advantage of them.
The most important thing is that this news is extremely crucial to the future development of Hope Village!
She has to thank them!
Mills was stunned when he looked at Zhou Bai. He once again felt the genuine kindness from Zhou Bai, the village chief.
"Thank you, Village Chief!" Mills directly expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Zhou Bai.
"I should be the one thanking you. You are the lucky stars of our territory!" Zhou Bai responded with a smile.
Limestone! It's so important!
When Mills heard this, he was stunned again.
Lucky star?
It’s really a nice name!
Unexpectedly, their goblin clan would still be in this situation today.
Hope Village is really different!
Many people inside are different, including the village chief.
At this moment, the hidden worry in Mills' heart completely disappeared.
He didn't believe that such a Hope Village and such a village chief would think of using the goblins to do something bad.
Because so far, what they can give to the goblins far exceeds what the goblins can give them.
