I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Chapter 256: You aim for someone else's "interest," they aim for your principal.



Watching one message after another, continuously streaming in, Zhou Bai was truly a bit astonished.

Even though she had anticipated that once her territory opened up, there would probably be quite a few visitors, especially considering Hope Village's rank as number one here.

Just like when Ningshan Village was ranked first, she really wanted to go see it for herself.

But she truly hadn't expected the allure of being number one to be this powerful.

It wasn't just residents, but so many lords had come as well.

Of course, Zhou Bai also noticed that it was primarily Blue Star people and residents of the Blue Star Territory.

In this situation, it wasn't possible for her, the Village Chief, to personally receive them all.

Because quite simply, there were too many to welcome!

It was better to let them wander around Hope Village on their own. With their identity as Blue Star people, they were surely able to adapt well in Hope Village.

Furthermore, assign a welcoming task to all the residents so they can warmly look after the visitors—that definitely wouldn't be a problem.

As for the few lords from different territories mixed in, she thought that if they wanted to formally communicate, they would approach the Lord Mansion.

She would just wait.

Thinking this, Zhou Bai immediately began drafting the task.

[Task: A large number of visitors have arrived in Hope Village; please warmly welcome them, and let the visitors feel our enthusiasm.]

[Nature: Daily task]

[Reward: None]

[Participants: All residents]

As soon as Zhou Bai published it, every single one of Hope Village's residents received the notification.

A small portion felt a bit nervous—this active welcome, how active should it be? Greet them with a smile?

And another portion, like the Blue Star residents, were completely invigorated.

Lots of visitors = lots of money.

They could do this!

Customers are gods!

Within moments, the entire territory, aside from some professionals who still had to head out, saw most people seriously stationed at their posts, with many shops even increasing their purchase of raw materials.

They all had a premonition that today would definitely be a day of great harvest.

Meanwhile, at the Task Center.

A steady stream of individuals arrived in Hope Village via the Transmission Array at the Task Center.

Their faces bore strong curiosity, and upon arrival, they immediately looked all around.

To their surprise, everywhere was crowded with people!

"Goodness, there are so many people!"

"They've all come because of Hope Village."

"I wonder what's so special about this number one ranked territory."

"Where did you come from?"

"I'm from Xidong Village."

"I know it; it's currently ranked third, your territory is quite strong too!"

"It's decent! Our territory's development is indeed good. And you?"

"I'm from Tabert Village."

"I've been to your territory!"

"Really?"

"Yes, I took on a task from your territory, and that's why I went."

"We don't issue many tasks in our territory. It costs quite a few copper coins to issue a task, you know!"

"That's why Hope Village is so financially robust! They haven't even limited the number of people—many from our territory were planning to come here. The numbers are quite significant."

"Our territory too! So when you add up all these territories, Hope Village must be paying a pretty penny, huh?"

"The cost is not important; what matters is finally having the chance to visit a reputable territory. After all, some people didn't dare venture into native territories. Some of us who went were really taken advantage of."

"Of course, there were teams that made quite a bit of money from doing business, but then they were robbed on the way back. Thankfully, the robbers wanted wealth and not lives; otherwise, they would have been in serious trouble."

"But I haven't heard of any trouble with the teams that went from our territory!"

"Maybe it's because you only went to a few villages. Villages aren't a big problem, but you have to be careful in towns or cities."

"..."

Arriving individuals, seeing so many familiar faces, immediately struck up conversations.

They chatted back and forth, and in an instant, it was like fellow villagers meeting each other, with tears in their eyes.

Of course, the site was more like a hub of information exchange.

Watching them bustling with excitement, soldiers who had been called to maintain order at the scene, for some reason, felt a touch of emotion in their hearts.

This liveliness was something that not even the native residents of Hope Village could replace.

Unconsciously smiling, they then guided the crowd, "Due to the large number of arrivals today, please head outside first. There are specialized personnel waiting to take you on a tour around Hope Village. Don't crowd in here, okay!"
