I Become a Landlady in the Game World

At that moment, inside the Lord Mansion.

Many residents were still lining up on the scene, gathered here not for other reasons but for the proposal made last night to sell anything unnecessary to the territory.

Previously, most of the offerings were common resources, and naturally, people hoarded the better stuff. After last night, many people had somewhat changed their attitudes, which is why this scene was happening.

When the crowd got larger, it was inevitable that they began to discuss.

"Still a step late! I also got a blueprint for night vision goggles, but they only accepted one."

"Didn't you say you'd make them yourself?"

"Make them myself, my ass! I don't even know where to find the materials required. Rabbit skins are okay, but I still have no clue where to find Shiny Fruit and Mulberry Tree Resin!"

"It seems the Anti-black hat also needs these things."

"So better to leave it to the territory! The territory is much more capable."

"Speaking of which, I feel like outside has changed a bit after last night. There seem to be more patches of grass and shrubbery, and I vaguely saw lots of fruit trees too!"

"Yeah! Had I not been so exhausted last night, I would have definitely gone to check it out."

"Last night was really... unforgettable."

"Speaking of which, is it my good luck? I sleep deeply, just staying in the residence and sleeping. When I woke up, I only knew about the territory being invaded by Demon Beasts."

"That was thanks to us risking our lives to fight! Otherwise, if the territory was invaded, the residences would have been gone for sure!"

"We benefit from this, when you think about it."

"..."

Meng Chengzhou also seemed somewhat emotional when he said this. He was a survivor who had just arrived yesterday, coming to Hope Village with his wife. Seeing the atmosphere within the territory, he bit the bullet and bought a residence. After all, buying one meant at least ensuring a place to live no matter what happened in the future. He was taking care of his wife all of last night, and coupled with the good sound insulation of their house, he really wasn't aware of what had happened outside until the morning, when a few people who had come with him to Hope Village mentioned the Demon Beast invasion from last night, saying that many had fought to the death and several people had died.

However, he also knew that those who were present at the scene and survived had their levels and loot greatly increased afterward.

He came here also to get information.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would be in this territory for a considerably long time. He wanted to survive and live well, and that meant he had to accustom himself to this territory and know what it needed.

Obviously, he did gain some insights.

While Meng Chengzhou was thinking about all this, suddenly, from outside, excited cheers erupted, growing louder and louder.

Then a person rushed in from outside, bursting with excitement.

"There are many new buildings in the territory, and it looks like some have been upgraded! Especially the territory's fence, oh no, I should say the city wall now! You guys go have a look, you won't be disappointed! Moreover, your Lord Mansion has also been upgraded, it's gained another floor!"

Hearing this person's words, a swarm of people rushed out.

When they went out and saw the situation of the territory, they were all somewhat dazed.

What on earth had happened during their short time in the Lord Mansion? It felt like the space had been transformed, was this really still Hope Village?

The wooden fence that originally surrounded Hope Village had become a fortified, extremely solid city wall, and beside the city wall, there were high watchtowers, clearly meant to monitor the situation outside the territory. After experiencing last night's events, this entirely new arrangement gave them a great sense of security.

Beyond that, they could see that many new buildings had been added inside the territory.

As they looked, the expressions of many grew increasingly excited.

They were all well aware that the territory's improvement and strengthening were great for the residents who relied on the existence of the territory. No one wanted a repeat of last night's events.

"So great! The defense power of that city wall looks incredibly strong."

"Indeed, the Demon Beasts probably can't get in now."

"If only the territory had been like this last night."

"Wishful thinking, it's probably because of last night that the territory could develop like this!"

"Now many people are saying that last night's Demon Beast invasion was a test for the territory because the territory just leveled up from Level 0 to Level 1. They say the next time it goes from Level 1 to Level 2, the Demon Beast invasion will surely come again. But it's all speculation; I just think it makes a lot of sense."

"But if it upgrades again, will a village have such a tall and solid city wall? Before the Doomsday Game, I played construction games, and this isn't logical!"

"Who cares about logic, as long as it protects us, that's enough."

"Right, right."

"Over in the residential area, there are now Second-level Residences, two-story buildings suitable for multiple people living in them! But the price has also doubled, 12 Gold Coins."

"There's also a restaurant, no longer just offering steamed buns, now there's also a porridge option."

"Since everything is upgraded, why not choose something better, like braised pork or something."

"Dreaming gets you there faster."

"Next to the Lord Mansion, a Heroic Spirit Hall has been added; the architectural style is quite grand. It's just that I don't know why it feels a bit chilly when you enter. There's also something that looks like an altar in the middle, not sure what it's for."

"I tinkered around for a while, but couldn't feel any mission."

"From the name, it seems likely it's for recruiting talent."

"NPC? Doomsday Game NPC? Are they finally going to appear? Can we learn about this game world through them?"

"The Blacksmith Shop and the tailor shop haven't been upgraded, but the tailor shop now has three more items for sale, and one of them even increases the number of slots and has a special effect!"

"What is it?"

"It's the Anti-black backpack! Look, as soon as I handed the blueprint over to the territory, results came immediately."

"But one backpack sells for 50 silver coins, eh? If you can make it yourself, that's where the real profit lies."

"The question is, can you make one?"

"True."

"There's also a grocery store over there. There isn't much inside, just some materials that refresh daily; nothing necessary for now."

"What's that new building next to the city wall gate?"

"It's a military camp! It's generally used for changing professions! After the change, you can become a Soldier."

"Then the territory will probably choose members of the Guard Team, right! Speaking of which, many Demon Beasts were slain by the Guard Team yesterday, and they saved a lot of people."

"The territory is really getting better and better."

"..."

As everyone spoke, they couldn't help but smile.

The territory really was good now, it brought them a lot of security!

Zhou Bai and his family arrived in the territory at just this time.

Seeing the changes in the territory, the three of them also wore a hint of joy on their faces.

"Xiao Bai, your money was well spent! Those Gold Coins are better put to use developing the territory and improving our lives than just sitting idle in an account," Ding Qiurou whispered to Zhou Bai, clearly very much in agreement with Zhou Bai's approach.

After the apocalypse, Xiao Bai had changed, and for the better. She was really proud.

"Right," Zhou Bai nodded, looking at the Basic City Wall that she had just upgraded at a great cost and felt completely at ease.

With such city walls, even if they were attacked, they would have plenty of confidence!

Zhou Zhengping also thought it was pretty good and directly asked, "What else do you have to do now?"

"I'm going to check out the Heroic Spirit Hall. It's a Special Building said to summon talent. At Level 1, it can refresh one person per day, but I promoted it to Level 2, so now it can refresh two people daily. I want to see if anyone suitable can be recruited."

She also wanted to know what kind of people could be summoned and what kind of changes they could bring to their territory.

"Let's go check it out together." Zhou Zhengping was interested in this as well.

After that, Zhou Bai and her party arrived at the Heroic Spirit Hall. When they got there, other people from the territory had already had a look, so the hall was relatively empty.

Upon entering the hall, they could indeed feel a cool air emanating from within.

Zhou Bai blinked, suddenly feeling that something was off.

At that moment, the system detected her presence and immediately sent out a notification.

[Dear Host, do you wish to begin summoning?]

"Yes."

As her words fell, a thick black fog began to emanate from the altar in the grand hall of the Heroic Spirit Hall.

As the black fog appeared, the entire temperature of the Heroic Spirit Hall seemed to drop even more.

Gradually, the thick fog began to disperse, and a shadowy figure began to emerge.

In the next moment, Zhou Bai's panel received information about the shadow.

[Name: Harrison]

[Race: Undead (Dwarf)]

[Level: lv.15]

[Identity: Resident of the Undead Kingdom]

[Profession: Undead Mage, Blacksmith]

[Attributes: Constitution (20/20), Intelligence (14/20), Agility (20/20), Defense (20/20)]

[Talent: Master Blacksmith]

Setting aside whether this shadow's information was good or bad, Zhou Bai was stunned by the "talents" summoned before her.

So the Heroic Spirits of the Heroic Spirit Hall referred to the Undead???
