I Become a Landlady in the Game World

"Alright! Brothers, let's regroup outside."

The familiar feeling was equally applicable to these visitors, who responded immediately and soon walked outside in groups of twos and threes.

The arrangements in front were made, and the newly arrived visitors consciously followed the path of those in front.

Among the crowd, several Lords, masquerading as visitors, had just left the Task Center.

Although they knew that their identities couldn't be hidden from the Lord of Hope Village, they wanted to have a more comfortable understanding of Hope Village before contacting the other Lords.

"You're here too?" At this moment, Fu Wenlin, the Lord of Tabert Village, approached Guo Yunxiu, the Lord of Xidong Village, upon seeing her.

Fu Wenlin had previously visited Xidong Village and had some trade dealings, so naturally, he recognized Guo Yunxiu.

"Yes, just taking a look, after all, it's ranked number one." Guo Yunxiu nodded. Being the clear leader in rating was certainly intriguing; it was worth seeing if there were areas to learn from.

"Do you know any other Lords? Call them over too." Fu Wenlin, with his pot belly, said cheerfully.

Everyone was more or less on the same side; expanding their social circles only had benefits.

"Sure." Guo Yunxiu nodded, scanned the crowd, and spotted Zhong Yuanzhou, the Lord of Pingmo Village.

She waved excitedly, "Zhong Yuanzhou, over here."

Her demeanor was clearly more familiar than when she was with Fu Wenlin.

Fu Wenlin noticed this and asked nonchalantly, "You two close?"

"We were colleagues before." Guo Yunxiu replied casually, "Since the Task Center opened, he came to my territory, and we recognized each other."

"I see, that's good, you can help each other out in the future." Fu Wenlin said, his expression subtly envious. In contrast to them, he felt quite lonely.

"We can help each other too! We're all from Blue Star." Guo Yunxiu said opportunistically, "Territories from Blue Star should cooperate to ensure everyone survives rather than compete over ranking, right?"

Fu Wenlin paused before responding reluctantly, "I understand what you're saying, but not all territories share this consensus... Just be careful, okay?"

"What do you mean?" Guo Yunxiu asked.

"There was another Blue Star territory near mine; it was overrun by other Blue Star forces. I only found out because the remaining residents, feeling insecure, fled to my territory," Fu Wenlin explained directly.

"Overrun?"

"Yes, if you conquer a territory within the set time, it becomes your war spoils." Fu Wenlin elaborated.

Guo Yunxiu frowned upon hearing this. This was her first time hearing about such a thing.

"Keep an eye on the number of territories disappearing after each Territory War, and you'll understand," Fu Wenlin continued, "You know, without external interference, a territory, no matter how poorly managed, wouldn't just vanish."

Guo Yunxiu straightened up. She always paid attention to the ranking of territories but rarely to the number of territories.

It seemed that she would need to pay more attention to this in the future.

Just then, Zhong Yuanzhou arrived.

Seeing their serious expressions, he looked inquiringly at Guo Yunxiu.

"Let's go outside and take a look, and I'll talk to you privately later if there's a chance," Guo Yunxiu said outright.

"Okay." Zhong Yuanzhou responded briefly without further comment.

Watching the interaction between these two, Fu Wenlin felt he had figured it out.

Their relationship was closer than he had imagined!

Then, the three of them moved outside together. As for their teams, they had moved ahead upon arriving at Hope Village as previously arranged.

Soon, the trio had already followed the flow of people out of Hope Village.

The moment they stepped outside, they immediately felt their view broaden.

"Holy shit! Isn't Hope Village's city-building kind of awesome?"

"There are even trees planted along the roads for greening!"

"And the flowers on the main roads look beautiful."

"The whole setup is very organized!"

"There are really a lot of buildings! There should be plenty of open space too, but for now, it's out of sight."

"There are even buses on the streets! Isn't that way too convenient! Where does Hope Village get so many Demon Beasts from? Did they raise them themselves?"
