At this time, Hope Village.
As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the territory, and torches were lit on several watchtowers and on the city walls, making the territory brighter.
Zhou Bai had just come back from outside, and was a little surprised when she saw the torches on the city wall. As a territory lord, she really didn't know where the torches came from.
Compared to the other teams that were in groups, Zhou Bai's figure stood out. As soon as she appeared, Feng Lezhi, who was on duty, recognized her and asked, "Are you back?"
They all saw Zhou Bai's bravery, and since she was the daughter of their captain Zhou Zhengping, it was hard for them not to recognize her.
"What are those torches?" Zhou Bai
"It was made by a survivor named Meng Chengzhou who came last night. A torch can last for four hours. I bought one when I saw him selling it. It's just right for me to use as a lamp in my territory." Feng Lezhi said with a smile.
"Thank you. Seeing the territory brightened up makes me feel better." Zhou Bai said sincerely.
"The territory is my home, and everyone is responsible for its protection! Doing something for my own home is nothing." Feng Lezhi said directly. Thinking of the salary the territory gave him every day, this amount of money was really nothing.
Another point! He felt that the territory had great power, and if he did something, the territory would remember his contribution, and it would be easier for him to get promoted in the future.
...
...
Zhou Bai smiled. No matter what the other party's purpose was, he was the one who did it.
After that, after exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhou Bai entered the territory.
The open space in the territory has become a small trading market.
Meng Chengzhou, who made the torch, became the well-deserved center. It's not that no one has tried to make torches, but what they made were just ordinary fire sticks that were consumed very quickly. But his was different, as it could last for 4 hours.
"How did you make it?"
"Hehe, exclusive secret recipe."
"Can it be cheaper?"
"Making this torch takes a lot of time and effort, so it's not cheap. I made 120 in the territory today! Now there are only 60 or so left. When others come back, they will sell even faster."
"Okay! Give me one."
"I'll buy one too. Can I borrow this torch to go out and hunt monsters later?"
"You haven't played enough after being out for most of the day!"
"No! There are a lot of supplies outside today. It is a good idea to stock up more while it is still early. Everyone knows that it will become more and more dangerous outside in the future."
"That's true."
“…”
Zhou Bai was about to squeeze in to make a purchase when she was suddenly stopped by her mother.
"Don't go, I've already bought it." Ding Qiurou looked at her daughter with amusement. Seeing that it was getting dark, she came to the territory to wait for them.
Zhou Bai listened and decided not to join the crowd. He looked at other people and found that there were quite a lot of things for sale in the territory.
"Bamboo tube, bamboo tube, fresh bamboo tube, much lighter than a stone bowl!"
"Honey, the best honey. One portion only costs 5 copper coins. You can enjoy the sweet taste."
"Rattan mattress, do you still think your bed is too hard? With it, you can have a good sleep all night."
"All kinds of herbs, come and take a look, there are some that can quickly heal wounds."
“…”
Seeing Zhou Bai's eyes fall on those people, Ding Qiurou continued: "I bought everything they could from the things they were selling. They came back earlier than you did and made these things to sell in a short time. Not to mention, they are quite useful. Aren't the supplies outside particularly abundant today?"
"Yes, there are quite a few supply points. If you collect a large number of supplies, it can trigger the identification technique..." Zhou Bai briefly described the situation outside.
"I also triggered a skill." Ding Qiurou said excitedly after Zhou Bai finished speaking, "I triggered the elementary cooking skill, which suddenly appeared when I was cooking for you. I found out later that some people made bamboo tubes, which triggered the elementary manufacturing skill. That Meng Chengzhou triggered the elementary carpentry skill..."
Ding Qiurou is familiar with the skills derived from many people, and it is obvious that she has put in a lot of effort.
"Mom, thank you." With the information her mother collected, she saved a lot of worry.
Otherwise, she would have to control all things by herself, and would be too busy to handle everything, and would always miss opportunities to do things.
"We have a division of labor. You and your father are responsible for making money to support the family, and I am responsible for making her beautiful and taking care of the logistics."
After Ding Qiurou knew that survival in the territory did not necessarily require the use of force, she no longer thought about becoming stronger through fighting. As she collected information about the territory, she found that time passed very quickly.
She finally understood that the strength of a territory is just like the construction of a city in the past. All links are needed to make the entire territory circulate.
For example, when combatants go out to hunt monsters, they definitely don’t have time to make living tools. Now there are specialized people to make them, and they only need money to buy them. It is a win-win situation for both parties.
"Okay." Zhou Bai agreed.
At this time, another person came back from outside. As soon as he entered the territory, he couldn't wait to shout, "Haha, I harvested seasoning today! Food will finally taste good!"
As soon as the seasoning came out, everyone rushed forward and surrounded the person in an instant, wondering who would compete with him.
"What seasoning?"
"Hey, salt block."
"Fuck, sell me some, where did you get it?"
"There are few magical beasts in the Stone Forest, so I stayed there. I killed some magical wolves and got some meat. Then I saw so many stones there, so I thought it would be a waste if I didn't collect them! As a result, while collecting, salt blocks suddenly appeared among the stones, but the drop rate is very low."
"What's there to be afraid of? As long as there is something, it's fine!"
"How much salt do you have? Sell us some first."
"Just a little."
“Sure, sure.”
“…”
Zhou Bai and Ding Qiurou looked at each other and squeezed into the crowd.
As more and more people came back, the territory became more and more lively, and more and more people came to exchange supplies.
Likewise, the skill thing is also widely known.
Therefore, even though they knew it was not easy to reach level 10, they were not too disappointed, because they had the skills and the foundation to gain a foothold in this world.
After Zhou Zhengping, Li Xingteng and the others returned, the atmosphere in the entire territory reached a new level. Because most of them had combat skills, many people's eyes sparkled when they heard some of them bragging.
"I won't be guarding the city gate tomorrow. I will also go out to hunt monsters." Feng Lezhi's eyes turned red when he heard about the skills his teammates had acquired.
"Remember, you will have elementary skills after accumulating 100 times, but the effect is only a short-term increase. You must work hard to master the intermediate level. I don't know how many times you need to try to reach the intermediate level."
"good."
The atmosphere was lively and everyone was showing off their skills to each other.
**
Not far away, Diana and Harrison, who came out to check out the lively atmosphere in the territory, had different expressions on their faces when they heard the basic skills mentioned by them.
Harrison's face was full of disdain. "I thought something big had happened to them, but it turned out to be just a basic skill. In my previous territory, a 6-year-old child triggered it. Has humanity become so degenerate?"
Listening to Harrison's words, Diana shook her head, "This territory is different."
"What's the difference?"
"They didn't know where they came from. This territory was only established for three days. They didn't even know where to start their own territory.
“How could that be? Judging from their age, they shouldn’t…” Such ignorance, especially the lords, which one of them is not from the aristocracy of the human kingdom?
"So their origins are a mystery, and they are a bit unlike the native residents of Stan Continent." Diana said sharply, "But now they are on Stan Continent, they are a part of Stan Continent, their territory will also be a territory on Stan Continent, and we rely on this territory."
Harrison: “…”
"I know that the territories of your dwarven tribe are very powerful, but you are no longer in the dwarven territory, and you are no longer a resident of the dwarven tribe. You are a member of the undead tribe," Diana emphasized.
Harrison heard the warning in Diana's words and said unhappily, "I know!"
Diana saw Harrison's attitude and her expression relaxed. She looked at Zhou Bai's family in the distance and smiled, "I just think that such a unique human being might lead this territory to a different path."
It can change the embarrassing position of human beings on the continent of Stan.
Now, it is unknown how many human territories are still holding on. If even they can’t hold on, in the end, humans will only become vassals of other races. As a former human, she doesn’t want to see this scene.
Harrison saw Diana's hope and snorted coldly. He wanted to see why these humans could make Diana so hopeful.
