The hotel is a three-story building. The first floor has twenty rooms because it uses public handwashing and shower areas. The second floor and the third floor are suites, so each of the second and third floors has ten rooms. The hotel can accommodate thirty families.
“Miss, Arjun asked me before whether there are any individual houses for sale in the territory.”
Apart from the newly arrived batch who live in tents, the current slaves either live in homes or rent houses from other residents. They cannot afford to buy houses in the territory. However, there are a few mercenaries in the territory who are wealthy and want to stay there permanently, so they need to buy their own houses.
Because the territory is frequently shrouded in sandstorms and tornadoes, there are no tall buildings. When the refugees fled from the Misty City, they only built low-rise houses. The tallest building in the territory is now the Lord's House, which has three floors, and there is also a small inn with three floors.
How many empty, unoccupied houses are there?
The empty houses all belong to the lord.
“Aside from the approximately two hundred houses currently occupied by slaves (most of whom share a single room with multiple people), there are thirty-six vacant, unclaimed houses, all of which are one-bedroom apartments, with a few two-bedroom apartments.”
Qin Yiyi looked at the data.
"A one-bedroom apartment sells for 100 gold coins, and a two-bedroom apartment sells for 200 gold coins."
this....
"Miss, the prices of these houses are now comparable to those in the main city. Will anyone buy them?"
Qin Yiyi handed the data to Xide.
"Aren't there two mercenaries who want to buy it? Don't worry, even if I doubled the price in gold coins, they would still buy it, because they value the land I lead, and they will pay no matter what!"
"What's more, you definitely won't be able to buy it at this price again in the future!" Qin Yiyi narrowed her eyes slightly.
Once the territory gains fame and word spreads among past merchants, I believe many will come looking for business opportunities after winter.
In response, she emphasized to Sid, "The lord's mission is not only to distribute cotton, wool, etc., but also various grain seeds, vegetable seeds, anything useful I want!"
Such a large purchase of supplies requires a lot of working capital, but she has already earned several thousand gold coins from the mercenary dealers. These several thousand gold coins are not a big cost to her, and she plans to take out all of them to properly stock up for the upcoming winter.
Knock knock knock~
Qin Yiyi was arranging things for Xide when someone knocked anxiously on the door.
A man looked anxious.
"I'm sorry, my lord, I shouldn't have bothered you at this time. It's really urgent."
The antlers that had followed him up on the man's words and got straight to the point: "My lord, someone in the territory has been seriously injured. There are no medicines or food to restore attributes, which is why we are in such a hurry."
The man next to her burst into tears: "Sir, please, save my wife! I'm willing! I'm willing to use all the rice I've saved up to pay for her. If it's not enough, you can deduct it from her food rations!"
Qin Yiyi glanced at the man. He was not bad; he was kind and righteous. You know, in the wasteland world, there are very few poor people who have gone to such lengths to save others, spending a lot of money, resources, and food.
"Let's go see what's going on."
"Because the demand for electricity in our territory is increasing day by day, but the power lines are aging, after a thorough inspection, we decided to install new wind turbines and solar generators to store electricity and ensure basic power supply during the winter. Who knew..."
"Who knew that the swift, which was testing the wind speed while handling the wind turbine, would fall down..."
To be honest, even Deer Antlers didn't know why. As a swift whose speed could rival the wind, he fell and suffered severe bleeding. There was no doctor in the territory, so everything was very passive. However, he remembered that the lord had given him food with restorative properties that could increase his health, so he mustered up the courage to come and ask for help.
Qin Yiyi walked up to the bleeding orc. The orc was pale and hadn't fainted yet. When he saw the lord, he didn't dare to speak.
Seeing this, Qin Yiyi realized she probably wouldn't get the truth out of him, so she threw a test result at him.
Let's see if the food identification feature in the game can be used on orcs.
[Beep beep beep~ Unknown living human, genetically identified as a species of swift, neither of which are edible and do not fall into the food category. Additionally, a life-threatening egg was detected.]
What?
Immature egg?
"Are you pregnant?"
Qin Yiyi asked the swift in front of her with some confusion.
Unexpectedly, these words startled the swift so much that it went from lying on the ground to kneeling down.
"My lord, please, please don't send me away. I have elderly people to support. I can work. I can work even if I'm pregnant."
Qin Yiyi's face darkened. It turned out that the reason for her landing was due to her pregnancy and the excessive workload.
She snatched two seaweed rice rolls from the hands of the tentacle monster that was slowly walking over to watch the commotion and handed them to the swift.
Why is this food so popular?
That was a seaweed rice roll that I finally managed to snag!
[Damn it! I'll make Yiyi pay for this later!]
Come on, stop messing around. She has something important to say!
The other tentacles pressed down on this one, and even Kraken stepped in and pressed down all the tentacles.
"Eat it."
The swift was puzzled, looking at the food in front of her. Could she afford to eat such food?
