72: Chapter 050: It’s Always Right to Work Hard to Strengthen the Territory 72: Chapter 050: It’s Always Right to Work Hard to Strengthen the Territory Hearing this voice, Beck and Anna, the two sheep-headed people, couldn’t help but shudder and subconsciously hid behind Zhou Bai.
However, Zhou Bai’s petite fra could hardly shield them; instead, it made them stand out even more.
Zhou Bai paused as he looked at O’Neill and the others who suddenly appeared, and asked in surprise, “What are you doing here?”
Weren’t these beastn supposed to be living in the residential area?
Thinking of O’Neill’s greedy, miserly deanor on the battlefront, Zhou Bai asked reflexively, “You’re not staying in the Beast God Temple just to save on lodging expenses, are you?”
“How could that be?” O’Neill reflexively retorted, yet his voice betrayed a hint of guilt.
Though he had protested, his reaction gave him away, and Zhou Bai beca certain in his heart.
First the gentle sheep-headed people, then these money-loving beastn; suddenly, Zhou Bai felt that beastn might not be as savage as imagined.
At least they had vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
Thinking so, a spark of inspiration swiftly crossed Zhou Bai’s mind.
O’Neill, looking at Zhou Bai with an air of disbelief, unconsciously ground his teeth.
This human, so annoying.
He wanted to hit her.
His claws scraped against the palm of his hand, but as he realized that the Zhou Bai before him was the Lord of Hope Village, and decided their stay in human territory, he forcefully suppressed the urge, then grumbled, “The residents over there are all humans; how could we possibly live there?”
O’Neill displayed a disdainful attitude towards living with humans.
Of course, that was truly what he felt.
Humans, in their eyes, were all weak and could not compare to them, the beastn—especially those below level 10, who hadn’t even unlocked their professions; they were insignificant.
At that mont, Zhou Bai, listening to him, actually considered the idea of setting up a separate residential area specifically for these beastn NPCs.
The beastn’s contempt for humans was all too apparent.
Should a dispute arise, and beastn lay their hands on the residents, even post-incident managent wouldn’t be enough to fix things.
Perhaps, setting up a separate residential area was a better idea.
Thinking thus, Zhou Bai calmly continued, “Since that’s the case, I will build houses for you behind the Heroic Spirit Hall and the Beast God Temple.”
After saying this, Zhou Bai started to make arrangents.
There were currently ten undead NPCs and six beastn NPCs.
Thinking it over, Zhou Bai decided to build twelve Level 1 Houses.
After finishing, she stated directly, “There shouldn’t be a problem now, right?
The environnt in the Beast God Temple is too rudintary and truly unsuitable for your noble bodies.”
Just right, to pull back so of their commission through rent, at least she would find so solace in that.
Plus, it was a chance to be facetiously scornful; in their human territory, they still looked down on humans so blatantly.
O’Neill: “…”
Zhou Bai’s actions were so swift, he didn’t even have ti to react.
Hold on, why should he pay for lodging when he has the Beast God Temple free of charge???
But as a beastman’s pride wouldn’t allow him to bow down to Zhou Bai, he rigidly responded with a grunt of agreent.
“Yesterday, soone was present, so I didn’t ntion my identity to you.
In the future, in the territory, there’s no need to treat as your lord,” Zhou Bai further stipulated, “Additionally, the territory gives you a monthly salary of 1 Gold Coin not for you to co here to idle away, rember to report to Bayer and follow his arrangents for work.”
“You want us to listen to that undead?
Even though he was once a human, he is now a part of the Undead Kingdom.
The Undead Kingdom nearly unified the entire Stan Continent in the past.
Aren’t you afraid they might use your territory to rise up again?” Lucas, who had been observing from behind O’Neill, piped up with an instigating remark.
Zhou Bai, of course, knew about Lucas, the kobold.
From what she had learned from Bayer and the others, the kobolds were not only keen-nosed, but more importantly, they were intelligent.
In the Beastman Army, the kobolds often played the role of military strategists.
A true master reveals his expertise with a single touch.
Looking at Lucas, Zhou Bai didn’t hesitate, “Since you’ve co to Hope Village, you are residents of Hope Village, and I trust him.”
As she spoke, Zhou Bai ntioned aningfully, “Just like you’ve co to Hope Village, you wouldn’t want to serve our territory while others doubt you, right?”
Lucas: “…”
Could he say he didn’t mind?
He was thinking of staying in the human territory longer to gather more information about it and later contribute to the benefit of their native territory!
Human territory?
They really didn’t care for it.
However, the things in human territory were indeed better than those in beastman territory.
Zhou Bai watched Lucas’s expression, paused for a mont, and realized he truly hadn’t intended to give his loyalty to human territory; thus, she didn’t expect their trust.
Fortunately, she had never put her full hopes on the Beast God Temple; she only hoped to understand enough about beastn through it to prepare for the future of the territory.
As for how to use the beastn, she already had an idea after just noticing the differences between them.
Beastn like Sheep-headed n should concentrate on cultivating the planting and breeding industries for the territory.
Tiger-n and Kobolds just need to utilize their abilities to bring benefits to the territory.
Their loyalty isn’t necessary; it’s enough to temporarily bind them to the territory through interests.
Adapt asures to local conditions and individuals.
Thinking this, Zhou Bai continued to address Lucas, “All you need to know is this, during the period you are employed by the territory, here in Hope Village, you must abide by the rules of Hope Village.
If you are unwilling, we can simply terminate the employnt.
After all, I’m paying Gold Coins to hire you, hoping you can perform at a level worth the price.
If you can’t, I might as well save a sum of money, or find soone more obedient.”
Saying so, Zhou Bai shifted slightly, highlighting the two Sheep-headed n standing behind him.
It would be great to have a few more of such adorably soft beastn!
O’Neill, Lucas, and the others had already grasped the threat in Zhou Bai’s words.
Looking at her casual nonchalance, they had to admit that her words indeed carried a real threat.
O’Neill blurted out, “Since we’ve accepted your employnt, of course, we’ll be obedient.
Don’t worry!
We’ll find that Undead and report to them, following their command.”
He was hoping to save more Gold Coins here in Human Territory to support his wife and children.
How were they doing after he left?
Once the first month of employnt was over, he could go back and see them.
Lucas knew about O’Neill’s love for money and imdiately realized he was ensnared by the offer.
Well, to be honest, he was also short of money.
There were too many talented individuals in his clan, and without a strong enough backer, earning so many Gold Coins in Beastman Territory, and eating enough food was rather difficult.
After all, the Demon Beasts rarely dared to appear near their Beastman Territory due to the pressure from the powerful within their own kind.
They relied more on plundering resources from other Race’s territories and, being at the bottom, they had little to gain.
Thinking this, Lucas also made his stance clear.
After O’Neill and Lucas had spoken, the other two nodded along.
Seeing the four behaving as if they were one collective, Zhou Bai was already strategizing in her heart; maybe it was ti for Bayer to separate them.
When they gathered, she was afraid they might cause trouble!
After the agreent, O’Neill and the others turned their gaze to Beck and Anna, huffing at Zhou Bai, “These Sheep-headed People are useless, are you sure you want to employ them?” And for the sa price as them.
They felt they were getting a raw deal.
“To our territory, they are vital,” Zhou Bai said without hesitation.
O’Neill furrowed his brow at her response.
What did she an by that?
Were they not vital?
Beck and Anna looked at Zhou Bai with grateful eyes upon hearing her words.
They had never been told before that they were vital to a territory.
Ying ying ying, they would definitely work hard.
Seeing their eyes, O’Neill beca disgruntled.
These two Sheep-headed People were too popular among Humans; it was a face-loser for their beastn.
Noticing O’Neill’s discontent with the Sheep-headed n, Zhou Bai subtly said, “It’s almost dawn; according to the ti, Bayer should be getting close to the barracks by now.
You should go find him.”
“What about them?” O’Neill asked, his gaze slightly narrowed on the two Sheep-headed n.
“I have other arrangents for them,” Zhou Bai responded directly.
After taking a deep look at Zhou Bai, O’Neill and the others turned and left.
Once they were gone, Zhou Bai turned to the two Sheep-headed n, “Upon the start of your employnt, you are also residents of Hope Village.
Regardless of how things were in your original territory, here, there’s no need to fear them.
If they dare to bully you, tell directly, understand?”
Beck and Anna exchanged a glance and then nodded obediently.
Looking at their woolly heads, Zhou Bai felt an itch in her hand.
Adorable, wanting to pet.
Still, Zhou Bai restrained her hands and said, “Wait for a while after I leave, then head to the barracks; soone will be there to arrange things for you.”
“Okay.”
Subsequently, Zhou Bai gave a private mission to Bayer and then left the Beast God Temple, heading straight outside the territory.
Now that she had more ‘Tool n’ at her disposal, and the territory’s force was increasing, she, as the Lord, must also strive to level up, to elevate to Level 10 as early as possible before the Newbie Protection Period ended, advancing the territory another level.
She felt that once the Newbie Protection Period was over, the environnt facing these territories would be even more treacherous.
Territory Wars during the Newbie Protection Period seed more like elimination rounds, weeding out the weaker territories and feeding their resources to the strong, empowering these territories to face their native lands.
Whether or not her guess was correct, striving to make the territory stronger was definitely right!
Another point was that NPCs like Bayer, at Ten-level, were quite powerful, a world apart from their Level 10 Humans.
She was also curious about what her Profession would be after reaching Level 10.
