A moment later, Zhou Zhengping and his team had brought everyone into the cafeteria.
There were a few people waiting in the cafeteria. When they saw them come in, they hurried over to greet them.
The leader is Ding Qiurou,
It is not unaffordable to provide bamboo tubes to these people for free, but Ding Qiurou does not intend to start this practice.
After all, in reality, there will be more and more survivors in the future.
Who can use their own interests to support the good intention of providing free services?
So although she
Upon hearing that the product was sold at a fixed price, the resident willingly took out his stockpiled goods and even started making them on the spot.
Cao Jingshan and his men had experienced the high prices in the previous territory, so they didn't think 2 copper coins were expensive at this time.
After hearing this, many people immediately went to buy from the man selling bamboo tubes, and after buying, they went to get the hot soup.
...
...
They were all wet and needed something hot to warm themselves up!
2 copper coins are nothing.
Seeing that these people didn't care about the 2 copper coins for a day, Ding Qiurou continued to remind them, "There are steamed buns and white porridge over there at the cafeteria window. A steamed bun costs 2 copper coins, and a bowl of white porridge costs 2 copper coins."
After listening to Ding Qiurou's words, everyone dispersed in the cafeteria instantly, and many people crowded to the window to buy steamed buns and white porridge.
Many people were sitting at the dining table or on the floor, eating steamed buns and drinking porridge, and their whole bodies were glowing with a different kind of brilliance.
This glimmer of light is called... hope.
Even though they did not fully understand this territory, the tip of the iceberg that had been revealed so far told them that this was a good territory and a territory worthy of their settlement.
While these new survivors were enjoying their meal, some residents saw the business opportunities hidden here and quickly took action, opening their "stalls" directly in the cafeteria.
"I have a pair of tops and shorts here. Does anyone need one? A set only costs 99 copper coins, which is 1 copper coin cheaper than the one in the territory!"
"Home shoes, only 30 copper coins!"
"Here we also have homemade torches and umbrellas. Although the umbrellas are not as completely insulated as the hats and cloaks in the territory, they are completely sufficient to keep out the rain in the territory."
“…”
Hearing the hawking voices, some people who had already filled their stomachs hurried forward and started buying.
This price is simply too low for them.
And it’s something I need now, so I have to buy it.
Because the wear time of their rainproof suits had expired, some residents who were out on missions took a rest in the canteen and sold their unused belongings.
Looking at the levels of these new survivors, some of the things they have that they can't use may be of great use to them!
Thus, in a short period of time, the cafeteria became a small trading market, and even more voices of bargaining were heard.
"Can it be cheaper? I'll take 25 copper coins."
"Too low, 28 copper coins!"
"Just 25 copper coins! You won't be able to use this thing."
"Alright! Here you go!"
“…”
Cao Jingshan felt a little dazed as he looked at the noisy scene in the cafeteria.
If the time were changed to an hour ago, could they imagine such a scene?
No.
Compared with Cang Lei Village where they were before, this place is like heaven and earth.
"I'll go buy some clothes to change." Coming back to his senses, Cao Jingshan said to his wife Xu Xinman while looking at his daughter who was eating hard.
"Go! It's not good to be wet all over." Xu Xinman nodded. She felt a lot more relaxed at this moment. It was obvious that the remaining savings they had were enough for them to live in this territory for a while.
Now that I think about it, if I hadn’t built so many in Cang Lei Village… it hurts to recall it.
But it's just a thought. No matter what, Cang Lei Village protected them in the early stage. If it weren't for Cang Lei Village, maybe they would have died outside long ago. That's the real situation of having money but no place to go!
"good."
"Also, take a look at how much the houses here are selling for. If they are not expensive, we might as well buy them!" After hesitating for a moment, Xu Xinman finally spoke.
Although before coming here they had made up their minds that they would not pay a high price to become residents in the next territory, but would instead be vagrants and would not spend a high price to buy a house.
But once I entered the territory and looked at the territory like this, the thought of being rejected by them came to my mind again.
This is the law of true fragrance that no one can escape.
"Well, I'll ask when I go to return the cloak." Cao Jingshan also agreed with Xu Xinman's opinion.
Afterwards, after Cao Jingshan came back from buying three sets of clothes, he went straight to Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng.
He could see that these two people were official missions of the territory and should have a special relationship with the lord.
"Thank you for the cloaks." Cao Jingshan said to the two of them while returning the cloak.
Li Xingteng accepted it and returned the cloak to a soldier behind him.
Cao Jingshan quickly said thank you to the other party again.
After the greetings, Cao Jingshan said hesitantly to Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng: "I want to learn about the situation of Hope Village from you."
Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng looked at each other and nodded, "Go ahead and ask! We also want to know what's going on outside!"
"Who is the lord of the territory?"
Hearing this, Li Xingteng raised his eyebrows, "Does your territory have a lord?"
"Yes, but the lord of our territory charges a higher fee. Because of his status as a lord, there are more people around him. It's a pity that even if we paid enough money, we couldn't protect the territory." When it comes to this, Cao Jingshan feels regretful.
"It seems that there is no lord in our territory. We receive all the information from the Doomsday Game Panel. The upgrade of the territory also seems to be spontaneous. At least so far, no one in our territory has stood up and said that he is the lord." Li Xingteng replied directly.
But Cao Jingshan's words still left a trace in his heart.
"How is it possible without a lord?" Cao Jingshan asked subconsciously with some disbelief.
Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng did not answer.
Cao Jingshan also understood that there was no answer to this question and he could only observe it on his own.
"What about the territory's residential buildings? How many are needed?"
"You can get a first-level residential building for 6 gold coins. As for the two-story building, it is a second-level residential building, which costs 12 gold coins." Zhou Zhengping said, "In addition to buying, you can also rent it. A first-level residential building costs 100 copper coins a day, and a second-level residential building costs 200 copper coins a day."
Cao Jingshan listened and was once again shocked by the prices in Hope Village. "The houses in Canglei Village are 20 gold coins, and they can only be purchased, not rented out. There are people who buy them and plan to rent them out, but the rent is not cheap either."
“So where do the people who can’t buy live?”
"They just found empty land in the territory to live in." Cao Jingshan said, "So the whole territory is quite chaotic."
"What about the buildings?"
"Our territory used to be a level 0 village. Initially, there were only two buildings, a carpentry workshop and farmland. The carpentry workshop sold weapons and the farmland was used for planting. They all appeared yesterday. We were very happy. After buying weapons from the territory, we were thinking that we had tools to deal with monsters. As a result, the territory was breached that night and many survivors died..." When retelling the story, Cao Jingshan could not hide his sadness. It was a nightmare he would never forget in his life.
No one would ever want to look back at that scene.
"It should be because of the territory upgrade. Our territory is now a level 1 village. On the night we upgraded, we also encountered an invasion by Warcraft. After we survived it, the territory became like this." Zhou Zhengping said.
"That's great." Cao Jingshan couldn't help but sigh after listening.
"In addition to the lord's mansion and the wall, our territory now has six types of buildings, including the cafeteria, blacksmith shop, tailor shop, residential houses, Valhalla, and grocery store. You should be able to guess the functions of most of the buildings. Valhalla is used to summon NPCs. So far, our territory has two local NPCs, one serving as the blacksmith in the blacksmith shop and the other as the tailor in the tailor shop. The rainproof equipment we are wearing was made by this tailor." Li Xingteng continued to introduce.
Sure enough, I saw Cao Jingshan looking confused and surprised again.
Li Xingteng patted Cao Jingshan on the shoulder and said, "Choose to settle in Hope Village. You won't be disappointed."
Since you are here, you are from Hope Village, so stay with us!
"......Yeah." Cao Jingshan nodded blankly.
"As for other specific matters, you will know them after you stay for a while."
"Yeah." Cao Jingshan reacted at once, his eyes shining slightly.
Then he thought of Yu Ziming and his gang who had robbed them. They were also heading towards Hope Village. He wondered if they had arrived there already?
He immediately said to Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng, "Does your territory have any restrictions on robbery? Just before you found us, we were threatened by a group of people and robbed of a sum of gold coins. They came to Hope Village before us."
As soon as these words came out, a fierce light flashed across Zhou Zhengping's eyes.
Just as they were about to ask for details, Xu Chengyi, who had been guarding the city gate, entered the cafeteria with a group of people.
The moment he saw them, Cao Jingshan pointed at Yu Ziming without hesitation.
“That’s them!”
The second update is here!
