On Zhou Bai's side,
"Is there anything wrong?" Meng Chengzhou asked.
"I'm here to ask you to help me make something." Zhou Bai said, "I want you to help me make a large bulletin board with wood."
"What is the bulletin board used for?" Meng Chengzhou asked curiously.
"It's used as a territory announcement. I hope everyone can exchange some information with each other. At that time, private recruitment advertisements and the like may be posted on it." Zhou Bai did not hide it and said directly.
"That's fine. Although the territory also has a bulletin board, most of them are acquisition notices. Many information points are not covered. If you make one privately, it may have unexpected results." Meng Chengzhou agreed, "Leave this matter to me. I will make it for you as soon as possible."
"Thank you." Zhou Bai thanked.
Speaking of which, the territory is now also thanks to many craftsmen like Meng Chengzhou, who have directly made up for many of its shortcomings.
Even if she was a lord, she couldn't create daily necessities out of thin air.
"You're welcome. I also do things for money." Meng Chengzhou said with a smile, "Besides, this is something that is beneficial to the territory and to everyone. Only a big shot like you can support this."
...
...
If someone else were to do this, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to suppress the residents in the territory.
Although things seem peaceful at the moment, the competition behind the scenes is very fierce.
Fighting for Warcraft, fighting for markets, fighting for supply points...there are many areas for competition.
It is understandable that no one has ever thought about this, but not everyone can handle it.
But Zhou Bai is different. She has strength and backing in Xiwang Village, so if she takes the lead, it will surely work.
Zhou Bai listened to what the other party said and immediately understood what he meant.
Speaking of which, as more people appear in the future, the territory will only become more complicated.
Her only advantage is that she can control the territory privately and try hard to ensure that she does not abuse her power. Although it is normal, once you become addicted, it is easy to be unable to turn back.
But based on her personality, she felt that she wouldn't.
Thinking about it, Zhou Bai continued: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I need to trouble you with."
"What?"
"Have you ever tried... making paper? You'll need it for posting notices on the bulletin board! A simple one will do." Zhou Bai asked tentatively.
When Meng Chengzhou figures it out, she will reward him with contribution points, and then let the territory issue some invention tasks.
Some things in the real world are still very useful, but some things cannot be solved by the magic of this world.
"Let me give it a try! It should have a good market once I make it." Meng Chengzhou's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Thank you for all the trouble."
"I have to thank you for reminding me. I now have another business to develop." Meng Chengzhou responded, but his mind was thinking of the raw materials for papermaking. Simple materials such as tree bark and bamboo were available near the territory, and then there were some tools for papermaking.
He is a carpenter, so none of this is difficult for him.
Seeing Meng Chengzhou lost in his own thoughts, Zhou Bai did not disturb him and instead prepared for mining.
She already had an idea of the candidates for mining.
Not other people, but Yu Ziming and others who are still in the punishment stage.
During the period of their imprisonment, they played a significant role in the infrastructure of the territory, but they did not receive any reward. In addition, their experience points were basically maintained. Others slowly became professionals, but they were still hovering around level 7 or 8.
From the last time they were told to have a chance until now, they have completed every task assigned by the territory, and have not shown any resentment on the surface.
Let's treat this as the last test! If they pass, they can stay in Hope Village.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai went straight to the blacksmith shop.
There were no customers in the blacksmith shop at the moment, and the only sound one could hear was the sound of banging coming from inside.
"Keep hammering. If you want to learn real skills, you need the basics. Don't stop even if your hands are sore. If you can't stand it anymore, you can leave."
Harrison's stern voice came from inside. Of the apprentices selected earlier, only two or three were left.
Although blacksmithing depends on talent, perseverance is also important.
As he spoke, after noticing Zhou Bai's arrival, he asked them to continue and then Harrison came out.
"What's the matter?" As soon as Harrison saw Zhou Bai, he knew that the other party would not come to him for no reason.
"I'm sending you iron ore. You also need to customize a batch of iron pickaxes, 30 in total. When can they be produced?" Zhou Bai said directly.
"You found the iron ore?" Harrison looked at Zhou Bai in surprise. He was really fast.
"I summoned two undead goblins this morning. They are very efficient, so the cost of equipment will be lower in the future." Zhou Bai said happily.
Saving money is the most enjoyable thing.
As time went on, more and more resources became self-sufficient.
Harrison listened and hung up the pickaxe on the merchandise display beside him. "Last time you asked me about iron ore, I instructed my apprentices to make some when I was training them. It should be enough!"
Zhou Bai took a look and found that they were all bronze level, which was indeed enough.
"Thank you." She just asked casually, but the other party took it to heart. This thought was worth being thanked for.
"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do," Harrison said gruffly.
Zhou Bai smiled. This dwarf still had a weird personality!
After the problem with tools was solved, Zhou Bai came out of the blacksmith shop and went to the tailor shop.
Diana watched her come in and asked directly, "Are you here to buy an orange backpack again?"
"Yes, but this time it's not mine. When the people come later, you can give the backpack to the goblins. Also, prepare 30 sets of cold-resistant equipment."
During this period, the item she bought the most was the orange backpack, because there were too many things in the territory plus her own.
This time, iron ore has to be carried in a backpack again.
"No problem." Diana said directly. In addition to selling the cold-resistant equipment to the outside world, she would also keep a portion for Zhou Bai as a mission reward. Fortunately, she had recruited several apprentices during this period to do basic work for her, otherwise she would be too busy.
The number of people in the territory is increasing, and the tasks are becoming more and more difficult.
But for her, the benefits are also huge. I believe that after a period of time, she may be able to advance to level 20 and her production ability will be raised to a higher level.
After becoming an undead, the equipment needed by the undead world is limited. She hasn't produced such a large number of them for a long time, and the level has stagnated for a long time.
Therefore, she would be happy to make equipment no matter how large the quantity was.
"Are there enough materials?" Zhou Bai asked.
"The residents have sent a lot of cold-resistant equipment, which is enough. However, I think we should make more for other special weather conditions, otherwise there will be a run on the bank. Although the price is a bit high, I see a lot of people buying it, so it doesn't matter if we make more." Diana said directly. In the past, there were three or four hundred people, and one hundred sets were enough, but now there are more than a thousand people, which is not enough.
Thinking of this, Diana really felt that Hope Village was developing at a good speed and had great potential in the future.
After hearing this, Zhou Bai no longer hid it and directly bought it in the system mall on the spot, and then handed the materials Diana needed to her.
Diana had already guessed about the source of Zhou Bai's materials, and she felt a little strange seeing her take them out directly. She then added, "In other territories on the Stan continent, materials need to be collected in the wild by yourself, or traded between territories. I don't know why you can buy them so directly, but I think there will be restrictions sooner or later. Don't rely too much on this."
They had only a superficial acquaintance before, so she didn't intend to tell such a private matter.
But now, she has accepted this place, so she is naturally willing to give direct suggestions.
Listening, Zhou Bai's eyes flickered.
This is the same as what she and her father had guessed before. The system hopes that they can get it from reality, so it will sell it at double the price.
And now, Diana also reminded him of this, thinking that the most special thing about the territory now is that it is still in the novice protection period.
Will this convenient method be cancelled after the novice protection period?
"I understand, thank you." Zhou Bai nodded.
Seeing that Zhou Bai had taken it to heart, Diana smiled.
Afterwards, after leaving the tailor shop, Zhou Bai directly issued mining tasks, two of which were sent to the goblin NPCs.
The other one was sent to Yu Ziming and others.
[Mission: Go to the cave mine with the goblin NPC to mine]
[Nature: Daily Task]
[Reward: None]
[Execution targets: Yu Ziming, Shi Jiayun...]
【Gathering place: in front of the Lord's Mansion.】
At this time, Yu Ziming and others who were detained in prison because of the scarcity of cold-resistant equipment due to heavy snow suddenly received the news.
The moment they saw the news, everyone's eyes were filled with excitement.
Because the mission has finally arrived.
Having a mission means that they don't have to be locked up in prison and lose experience points.
Losing experience points is actually not a big deal. The most important thing is that the time in there is too hard to endure. Especially now that it is snowing, they are shivering with cold. Even if they are warmed by a fire, it is useless without cold-resistant equipment.
"Finally I can complete the mission."
"This time we're mining. Mine? There's a mine in the territory?"
"Being locked up inside, I am really out of touch with the news."
"Ah, every time I'm locked up in there, I regret what I did."
"I don't know if there is still a chance to regain our freedom, and when the territory will let us go."
“…”
Everyone was chattering about it, but Yu Ziming had a feeling.
That is, if this mission can be completed well, maybe they can regain their freedom.
Soon, O'Neill came with a group of tiger-headed men, opened the prison door directly, and gave each of them a set of cold-resistant equipment, "Follow us!"
Yu Ziming and others obediently put on their cold-resistant gear and followed them.
When they arrived at the lord's mansion, Victor and Dunlop were already waiting.
After some psychological preparation, they were not so scared when they saw the orcs.
"Follow us." Victor said, and he and Dunlop walked in front, and then the group headed towards the cave.
Looking at their departing figures, many people around started discussing. Of course, the most concerned issue was whether they had found a mine near the territory.
Just when they saw Zhou Bai passing by, they asked for information directly. Everyone knew that Zhou Bai had accepted the task in the morning.
"Yes, we found the mine!"
"Can we go and dig? The purchase price of iron ore is not low."
Zhou Bai glanced at the man and said directly: "The iron ore now belongs to the territory, and private individuals cannot dig it."
“What a pity!”
"If I had known there was a mine near my territory, I would have searched everywhere for it. If I had found it, I would have made a fortune."
"Don't dream. If it were that easy, would the purchase price be so high? It's more practical to fight Warcraft."
"If you just want to make money, being a craftsman is not bad now."
"I don't have that skill, and I think it's safer to improve my strength."
“…”
Listening to these discussions, Zhou Bai curled his lips slightly and walked out of the territory.
She believes that as time goes by, the territory's functions will become more and more complete and its inclusiveness will become stronger.
Watching a territory gradually taking shape in his hands, Zhou Bai could increasingly appreciate the fun of infrastructure construction.
Next, she will wait for the heavy snow to end and for the next upgrade of the territory!
One more ~
