I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Demon Beasts were naturally ubiquitous, and they did have some Demon Beasts they were breeding, but taming them was no easy feat.

And their territories all had a significant number of people who had opened up the Summoner and Beast Tamer Professions, and they were all lacking the most important "partners."

In addition, there were the Horse Beasts needed by the territory's Cavalry, which were rarely encountered in the wild; it was said that most Horse Beasts were bred through domestication, becoming part of an industrial chain.

In short, they urgently needed tamed Demon Beasts, no matter what kind.

Zhou Bai was obviously aware that they needed these as well, hence he solemnly introduced Viscount Lancelot to them.

They appreciated this gesture!

Indeed, nothing was more reliable than one's own countrymen!

"Viscount Lancelot, would you like to do business with us?" Suddenly, several people had surrounded Viscount Lancelot.

Viscount Lancelot looked at their "enthusiastic" expressions and then glanced at Zhou Bai standing aside, his expression a mix of surprise and comprehension.

"What kind of Demon Beast do you need? In my territory, the majority are Basic, with fewer intermediate and above; the prices for those have doubled. It might not be necessary for you," Viscount Lancelot inquired about their situation.

Actually, it happened to be the time when many Demon Beasts were coming out of their cages. Except for extremely rare cases, he did not accept pre-orders, so it was first come, first served, and the timing for these Territory Lords was just right.

"How many Horse Beasts can you provide?" Jin Jingshan asked first; considering the current development of each territory, they had all reached the stage of developing Cavalry, making the number of Horse Beasts the most critical detail to clarify.

After clarifying, they could divide them up!

"Well-trained Basic Horse Beasts, 500 of them. The price I've given Hope Village is 50 silver coins each, you guys figure out the rest!" Viscount Lancelot said; he had just taken the opportunity to check the rankings of these territories.

That really did surprise him a bit.

Although they currently did not compare with Hope Village, they were certainly amongst the top in Level 3 village-level territories.

Of course, there would still be differences in strength and focused areas of development, meaning they would need varying amounts. He wasn't going to get involved in that.

Listening to Viscount Lancelot's words, the group exchanged glances.

"We two brothers together need about 300, what about you guys?" Jin Jingshan took the lead.

"Ha, my territory's abilities are limited; I currently need about 60," Fu Wenlin followed.

The opportunity was rare, and he naturally wanted to buy more, but since the Jin brothers were strong competitors, giving them face wasn't an issue.

Guo Yunxiu glanced at the three men, then turned to Zhong Yuanzhou, "How many do you need?"

Zhong Yuanzhou looked at Guo Yunxiu, "I need 100."

Guo Yunxiu smiled at that and said, "I also need 100!"

After finishing, Guo Yunxiu turned to the Jin brothers, "Can you two spare 60?"

It was Fu Wenlin's choice to give them face, but such an opportunity was rare! She didn't want to give up what she could fight for.

Jin Jingxia was about to speak when Jin Jingshan cut in, "No problem, we can make do with 240."

"Then it's settled," Guo Yunxiu responded with a polite smile.

Zhou Bai, observing the scene, gained a little understanding of everyone's character.

The most surprising to her were Zhong Yuanzhou and Guo Yunxiu. Though Zhong Yuanzhou was quiet, he was well aware of his surroundings, while Guo Yunxiu had her own convictions and wouldn't back down when fighting for her interests.

Indeed, a Territory Lord capable of building their territory into a Level 3 village in such a short time was remarkable!

She would take the opportunity to visit their territories to gain some experience for herself.

Being a latecomer to the role of a Territory Lord, she still had much to learn.

Viscount Lancelot wasn't concerned about their confrontations; after all, it was human nature to be entangled in interests. No one escaped that fact.

And with that start, negotiating the distribution of other Demon Beasts became much easier.

Basically, the shares Viscount Lancelot offered were quickly divided.

Although his Demon Beasts weren't lacking buyers, he was quite satisfied to be able to move such a large batch at once.

Of course, he also noticed something about these new territories: despite their short establishment time, each seemed to have an especially strong foundation and flourishing finances!

Contemplating this, he directly instructed the next step, "So, I will issue the trade at the Task Center, and you guys can send a team to collect when the time comes."

"Sure, let's give you a deposit first!" Jin Jingshan said, immediately offering twenty percent of the payment upfront, with the others following suit.

This was the first time Viscount Lancelot received money for goods he hadn't yet delivered, leaving him slightly stunned.

"I'm not accustomed to taking deposits," Viscount Lancelot said, as in his experience, there were often too many complications involved.

"No worries, keep it! If we back out later, you can keep it all," Fu Wenlin quickly reassured him.

Seeing that none of them intended to take the money back, Viscount Lancelot didn't argue further; after all, he could deliver that amount.

And with that "business," the rapport between the two parties quickly grew closer.

"My Lord Viscount, since we're not busy, why don't we take a walk together?" Jin Jingshan swiftly suggested.

Their territories, due to a variety of taboos, had not yet deeply communicated with the native territories. This was an opportunity.

Viscount Lancelot's gaze turned towards Zhou Bai, clearly asking for her opinion.

"I'm just a guest today," Zhou Bai said with a light smile.

While the Jin brothers wanted to understand the native territories, she wanted to learn about them. Although she would also have the chance to visit their territories in the future, now was a good time to learn directly from them.

"Then let's go together!" Viscount Lancelot agreed, curious about their territories and wanting to see how they, coming from the same world as Hope Village and sharing the same culture, would perform on the Stan Continent—would they be the same or different?

With different goals in mind, they continued to wander around.

In the process of communication, they inevitably shared a lot of information about their own territories.

It was a chance to show off the desirable aspects of their territories and to market them; no one expected their territories to remain closed off forever.

While they were not yet as open as Hope Village, which had shared uninhibitedly with all village-level territories with a Task Center, they knew well that one day they would follow suit.

Thus, an outline of each territory gradually took shape in Zhou Bai's mind.
