Looking at Bayer's helpless eyes, Zhou Bai himself felt helpless as well.
Thinking back then, she was a complete loser!
But after arriving in this world, she had to become a king of rolls to support a territory.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to be a lazy person, but she is afraid that once she gets used to it, she will never be able to do it again, so she has to not relax for even a moment.
In this way, the days of being a lazy person are getting further and further away from her.
Actually, if you think about it, it seems to be fine once you get used to it.
After all, there weren't many forms of entertainment in this world. None of her previous anime, movies, novels, TV series, comics... were to be found in this world.
The good times are gone forever!
As if he had seen through Zhou Bai's thoughts, Bayer's expression paused again.
It can only be said that the burden of the territory is too heavy, so the lord cannot truly unload the burden on himself.
...
...
In this respect, the Lord is really different from the lords of other territories.
In fact, he had understood it a long time ago, but their thoughts were different.
Not only the lords, but also new lords and residents from other territories with the same origins as the lords.
Although there are many people who are willing to live a free life, more of them seem to be working hard to make themselves stronger, regardless of whether they are men or women.
Generally speaking, although the human kingdom does not have a very obvious distinction between men and women and only looks at talent, in fact, in terms of career choices, most men are physical professionals.
But new territories like Hope Town are different. Many female professionals clearly have better choices, but most of them still choose to fight without exception.
Even if they don't go out to work hard, they will work hard to create their own business in the territory.
Although it is not too obvious due to the large population of Hope Town, you can still see something if you observe carefully.
My Lord, the world we once lived in was truly special! Even now, it still makes people yearn for it.
I want to know what kind of world can produce such waves of special talents.
After thinking back, Bayer spoke up, "It would be good to go out of the territory and have a look around. Many professionals went there today, but they didn't come back. It seems that the resources outside are still very rich."
It was also at this time that Bayer realized something.
They hope that the town will be a small town-level territory.
Zhou Bai listened and said directly: "In addition to the resources of the upgraded town, all the resources outside Fasal Village have also been incorporated and upgraded along with our territory. The resources within our territory will be twice that of a town of the same level."
Speaking of this, Zhou Bai also felt it was a pleasant surprise.
She just thought that the reward given by the system at that time was just a simple reward, but now it seems that it is really not simple.
You know, the resources within the territory are different from those in other places. They can be regenerated according to the situation.
The more resource points there are within a territory, the richer the resources of the territory, and the higher the degree of self-sufficiency.
"After occupying someone else's territory, can an aggressive territory obtain all of the other party's resources?" Bayer asked in surprise, with a hint of worry on his face.
Zhou Bai shook his head. "No, it was an unexpected compensation..."
Zhou Bai told Bayer the specific information he had obtained at that time.
After hearing this, Bayer said, "It seems that the Lord's luck is really good."
At least in terms of territory, we can get relatively good feedback.
Take the special building, Hall of Heroes, for example! There are more and more new territories that interact with Hope Village. He has learned that there are not many that can summon the undead. The summoning type is basically based on the mission center. Only a few can draw other races, and Hall of Heroes is even a minority among the minority.
In addition, the word "heroic spirit" has, to a certain extent, helped Hope Town reject some undead spirits with bad attitudes.
And now, although it is clear that no compensation is required, compensation is still given to Hope Town.
It seemed as if someone was helping the lord.
"Yes, I am quite lucky, but that's because I have a good character." Zhou Bai said confidently.
Bayer: “Yes, yes, yes.”
Zhou Bai looked at Bayer's answer without hesitation and smiled.
Then he said, "Then I'll go for a walk now? I'll leave the rest to you?"
As he spoke, Zhou Bai still felt a little guilty.
After all, she left a lot of things to Bayer.
"Go ahead! Have a good look around." Bayer didn't care at all, instead he said caringly.
He actually likes this kind of life.
Rather than being constantly involved in battles, he actually prefers to sit in the territory and manage affairs.
He had no chance before, but now he is in the town of Hope, which is what he deserves.
"Yeah." Zhou Bai responded and left.
Bayer followed closely and returned to his office, preparing to process the contents of the meeting and record them in a book.
When Zhou Bai came down from the third floor, he saw that the lobby on the first floor was already packed with people.
You know, after the lord's mansion was upgraded from level 3 to level 4, not only did the building become one floor higher, but the entire area also more than doubled.
In such a situation, the hall of the lord's mansion is very crowded. I wonder how lively it is in there.
Zhou Bai took a quick look and saw a notice board full of recruitment information.
[Recruiting soldiers*2000, anyone who meets the contribution requirements can sign up, the recruitment will end when the quota is full. 】
[Recruiting staff for various departments, recruitment positions, number of recruits, examination time, and registration conditions are as follows:*]
【Recruiting scientific researchers, with preferential treatment. 】
【Recruiting personnel with special skills, preferential treatment. 】
【recruitment……】
The various departments are moving really fast!
Not bad, not bad!
Zhou Bai looked at this scene, and once again felt fortunate that he had recruited so many staff members early on. Now that they had "accomplished their studies", they were able to share the responsibilities of the territory.
Sometimes she just needs an idea and they can flesh it out and implement it as far as is reasonable.
This is the advantage of having more people!
At this time, Zhou Bai also heard the discussions of some residents.
"How was your harvest today?"
"Very good! There are so many more resource points outside the territory! And the quality and quantity of the existing resource points have increased. The income is much higher in the same time and place."
"Isn't this the benefit of upgrading to a small town?"
"Not only that! The resources in our territory are stronger than those in an ordinary town."
"Really?"
"Really? Many professionals say so. Many professionals used to hang out in Benguela Town! They say the number of professionals in Benguela is similar to that in Hope Town, or even less."
"Awesome, my territory."
"Is it safe to collect resources within the territory?"
"You are new here, so you are safe. Of course you are safe! Because many mercenary teams will go to clear the monsters in their territories early in the morning. With one group of people after another, there are very few monsters. Occasionally, there are solitary ones, but they hardly pose a threat. Of course, if you are low-level, you can choose to go out with the team, which will be relatively safer. You only need to pay 20% of your income."
"I'm new here, do you really charge me 20%? Is it okay if I'm not a professional?"
"Of course! In fact, the people who travel with the team now are basically non-professionals, and the professionals go out on their own! It's normal that you don't know since you're a newcomer. You can just follow them for once or twice."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. We all figured it out step by step. What's the big deal if I say a few words to you?"
"Does it usually only happen in the morning when you follow the team?"
"Yes, because in the afternoon, many mercenary teams will take on missions outside and go out to earn resources and money from other people's territories."
“So busy!”
"You just have to get used to it. Everyone rolls when they need to roll, and of course, they also rest when they need to rest."
“…”
In addition to this information, there is a lot of information mixed in.
Zhou Bai actually received a lot of information from them at that moment.
After the information they exchanged was almost the same, Zhou Bai walked out through the employee passage.
Soon, a sheep-headed man came to Zhou Bai in a hurry.
"Lady Filia is here!"
Zhou Bai listened, nodded calmly, and followed the sheep-headed man.
She had originally planned to visit Baker before going out.
After all, Filia's visit to Hope Town was uncertain, and if she hadn't given it, that guy would be angry again. Zhou Bai could only leave Baker a way to contact himself so that he could give an explanation to Filia.
Now that Filia is here, let's talk about it after meeting her.
At this time, Filia was already looking around the farmland.
This place is more than twice as big as the last time she came here. She feels like she can stretch out in her original form.
However, because she remembered the excitement she had caused before, she thought it would be more convenient to reduce her size, so she naturally reduced her size.
While walking around, Filia saw an unused piece of land in the corner and couldn't help asking Baker, who was following them closely, "What is this piece of land for?"
It is leaning against the mountain, with a small pond next to it and a large area of green farmland ahead. The geographical location of this land is really very good!
"That's what our mayor left as a manor, and he will build a house here later." Baker said directly.
"Okay, then I can go play with Zhou Bai directly later." Filia said happily.
This was what Zhou Bai heard when he came here, and his steps staggered involuntarily.
Isn't it said that dragons don't like to interact with humans? Why is the dragon she met so unusual?
Of course, she still liked Filia very much, but she still felt that it was not good for her to go to the human world regularly.
While Zhou Bai was thinking, Filia had already sensed Zhou Bai's presence and looked towards him excitedly, "You're here."
"How can I not come if you are here? Can I give you food to take away as usual today?" Zhou Bai asked.
"Didn't you promise me yesterday that you would have a good meal with me?" Filia said dissatisfiedly.
"I brought you two servings of food, one of which is specially for you." Zhou Bai said directly, "If you want to eat, I can also accompany you."
You still have to do what you promised to others.
"Don't you like me walking around in your Hope Town?" Filia's senses are still very sharp.
"Of course I welcome you, but I hope the town will be open to the outside world in the future. There are quite a lot of territories to deal with, and the people coming and going are quite complicated. If you are targeted by someone, it will not be good for you." Zhou Bai directly expressed his thoughts.
The people that a small town-level territory faces are no longer mid-level professionals.
High-level professionals will become the norm, and saint-level professionals are not impossible.
She was really afraid that Filia would attract attention.
"Don't worry! There are very few beings that can defeat our dragon clan." Filia said proudly, "Besides, because I brought back a lot of delicious food for the elders, they also gave me a lot of treasures for self-defense! If anyone dares to attack me, I will burn them to ashes."
Filia said the last sentence viciously, but considering her current body shape, she looked particularly cute.
Zhou Bai couldn't help but be touched by the cuteness.
At the same time, she also learned something from Filia's last few words.
The dragon ancestors of the dragon clan probably knew that it was not really safe for Filia to go among the human race, so they gave her a place to protect herself.
In that case, she doesn't need to worry.
Anyone who dares to cause trouble for Filia will surely suffer the consequences in the end.
"Okay, do you want to eat something now? I'll go with you?" Zhou Bai continued.
"Okay! I also want to visit your territory." Filia agreed straightforwardly, her voice even having a softness.
This is an expression only shown to those who are close to you.
As for what Filia said about "your territory", even though Zhou Bai was only the nominal mayor, Filia could feel that Zhou Bai had the final say in Hope Town, so she said that.
Zhou Bai did not deny it. He nodded and walked out with Filia.
As the territory developed, many people already knew that she was the lord.
But if Zhou Bai didn't make it public, they wouldn't say anything.
As for the residents below, some guessed it and some didn’t, but no matter whether they guessed it or not, they all respected and loved Hope Town and its staff.
As the mayor of Hope Town, Zhou Bai has always been the one to show up, and many people have already recognized her as the highest existence in the territory.
In fact, this time Zhou Bai openly reserved a piece of land for himself in the back mountain to build a manor, which also showed that he was facing the situation calmly.
But she still doesn't want to announce it officially.
Firstly, she has gotten used to it, and secondly, once it is announced, it will be inconvenient for her to go to other territories.
The status of the mayor and the lord is very different.
After a short while, a man and a dragon appeared on the streets of Hope Town.
This appearance instantly attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Dragon, dragon, dragon, the dragon is coming again!"
"I've heard that there is a dragon in Hope Town before, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be real!"
"That's right. You guys were just unlucky and didn't encounter it before. We just said we hope the town will use this as a gimmick. Now you have seen it, right?"
"Yes, yes, your territory is really powerful! Not only are there undead, orcs, and goblins, but there are even dragons. The only ones missing are dwarves and elves."
"You are wrong. We also have dwarves in our territory! Although he is now an undead, he was a dwarf before he died. Now he is the owner of the blacksmith shop in our territory, and he has also been promoted to a senior blacksmith. He is our territory.
"Your territory has been promoted
"Why? No way?"
"No, that's good. Senior blacksmiths are very popular. Even if you go to the city, you will be treated as a guest of honor. But there are very few blacksmiths who can be promoted to senior level!"
"It's not just blacksmiths! As long as they are professionals of life-related professions and reach a high level, they will be the object of competition among many territories. Many people have said that people of life-related professions are useless. I think they can still be successful if they work hard."
"But life professionals must be able to feed themselves in the early stages, and they must have money to support themselves in their promotions! Most territories, especially village-level territories, look down on life professionals, and then they rush to get them when they reach the town level. It's better to support such professionals with money from the beginning!"
"That's because many village-level territories were raised, but after they were promoted to the intermediate level, they just patted their butts and went to the small town. Who would like that?"
"That means the territory can't keep up with their development."
"Don't worry, this kind of thing will not happen in our Hope Town. The life professionals in our Hope Town live better than us! Meng Chengzhou, the owner of the carpentry workshop, is now an intermediate carpenter. He has many intermediate and junior carpenters under him! And our restaurant now often has some meals with special effects, which are made by the intermediate chefs in our territory. There are also many blacksmiths and tailors in our blacksmith shop and tailor shop, and..."
"We've strayed off topic, haven't we?"
“Isn’t this just a passing feeling?”
“…”
While these people were talking, Zhou Bai happened to walk past them with Filia. Zhou Bai couldn't help but twitch his lips as he listened.
How did the topic shift from dragons to lifestyle professionals?
But when he heard the latter part, Zhou Bai was still very happy.
She has never thought that life-related professionals are useless. On the contrary, she feels that, in the end, when the territory develops, the usefulness of life-related professionals to the territory may even exceed that of combat-related professionals at some point!
Especially in economic territories like Hope Town, many commodities in the territory are supported by life-related professionals.
Fortunately, she had previously guessed that other territories might try to take advantage of the situation. As long as they cooperated with the life-related professionals, they would be given high welfare benefits.
However, their conversation also gave her a wake-up call.
After that, she can also send teams to other territories to recruit people, especially those with special skills. If their level is high enough, she can give them houses. Anyway, for her, she may lack anything, but she will never lack houses.
In Hope Town, she is the biggest landlord and landlady.
After all, poaching is normal in this world.
Having made up his mind, Zhou Bai decided to add it to the task center right away.
Filia, who was standing by, noticed that Zhou Bai was not paying attention, so she swung her tail at Zhou Bai.
With this swing, Zhou Bai was almost thrown away by her.
[Dear host, your protective gear is 100% damaged and scrapped. Please replace it. ]
Just like that, Zhou Bai felt that one of his gold-level protective gear was scrapped.
Zhou Bai: “…”
——The power of the dragon clan is so terrifying!
Zhou Bai: "Lady Filia, please be careful with your strength, don't ruin my life???"
Filia snorted, "I controlled the strength. Who asked you to play with me and be so serious?"
"Master Long, you are so petty." Zhou Bai said helplessly, "Haven't we reached the destination yet?"
"No way."
"Okay, I understand." Zhou Bai nodded. It was precisely because Filia was narrow-minded that she went to "settle accounts" with her, and it was by chance that he helped her solve the problem.
Thinking of this, my heart instantly felt balanced.
We should treat this guy well!
In the dragon clan, he is still a child!
Feeling the sincerity in Zhou Bai's words, Filia was satisfied.
Although the territory has become larger, the original layout within the Five Rings has not changed.
Filia walked a little faster than Zhou Bai, and was already familiar with the route and looking for her favorite shop.
Although she hopes that the vegetarian food in the town is also delicious, for Filia, her favorite is meat.
She went
The aroma of this braised food is really tempting.
At this time, there were still many people queuing in front. Zhou Bai originally planned to queue with Filia, but the people in the queue in front felt a burning gaze behind them. When they turned around, they saw such a big dragon head with suspicious silver threads hanging from the corners of its mouth.
In an instant, the group of people dispersed, saying as they ran, "Master Long, you go first."
Filia had originally been queuing up according to Zhou Bai's words. Seeing that others had let her go, she tilted her head and looked at Zhou Bai, "They let me go!"
Zhou Bai responded lightly, walked up to the boss and said directly: "Give me one pound of each."
"Okay." The boss had entertained Filia before, and immediately started to fish out and cut the meat in a familiar way.
Basically, once a plate is cut out, it’s cleared out immediately.
Looking at Filia eating heartily, Zhou Bai also took a small portion and started eating.
She was also a little hungry.
Behind them, there were many new residents and tourists joining in the fun, and their gazes almost burned Filia's body through.
After all, many of them are
At this time, Baron Charlotte and Baron Harrington had passed the village closest to the royal capital and arrived at the town of Hope.
The two of them traveled in simple attire, without any guards. It was just the two of them, so their arrival was relatively low-key.
Even though they had noble titles, they still did not attract much attention.
After all, I hope there aren’t too many nobles in the town these days.
Baroness Charlotte was very used to this and it came naturally to her.
On the contrary, Baron Harrington was a little uncomfortable, but he had heard Baron Charlotte mention it before.
It’s not that bad.
As a result, soon after the two of them left the mission center, they saw layers of crowds surrounding them.
Out of curiosity, the two of them moved closer to take a look.
But when he saw the scene of being surrounded, he was stunned.
dragon? ? ?
There is a dragon in Hope Town???
