I Become a Landlady in the Game World

In front of Zhou Bai, a dark shadow gradually took form, turning into a Dwarf about one meter forty in height. Although short, the figure was very burly, draped in a magic robe and carrying both a war axe and a warhammer across his back.

But even after the figure materialized, the body remained transparent.

"Is this the talent you summoned?" Ding Qiurou couldn't help but ask Zhou Bai in a low voice, filled with uncertainty.

Isn't this person not alive, let alone human?

Can such talent really be of use?

Zhou Zhengping also looked at Zhou Bai, feeling that it seemed a bit unreliable.

"He is an Undead from the Dwarf Clan, with professions in Undead Magic and Blacksmithing, at Level 15, surpassing everyone in our territory. He truly is talent," Zhou Bai thought about the data he had seen just now and replied softly.

Ding Qiurou was slightly stunned upon hearing this, "A Dwarf? An Undead?"

"He should be a native character from the Doomsday Game," Zhou Bai said, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the shadow before him. "Perhaps through them, we can learn more about this world and prepare for the future development of our territory."

At that moment, after the summoning was complete, the system sent a new notification.

[Do you wish to spend 1 Gold Coin per month to hire the Undead Mage·Blacksmith·Harrison?]

"Yes."

As Zhou Bai's voice fell, the Undead Mage·Blacksmith·Harrison had already appeared before him.

Looking at Zhou Bai, he frowned slightly, "A Human Lord?"

There was a clear disdain in his tone.

Zhou Bai, noting his attitude, guessed in his mind, was it because of racial differences that he disdained Human Territory, or was it because the status of humans in this Doomsday Game was... too low?

"Is there a problem with being a Human Lord? If you are unwilling, we can terminate the hiring?" Zhou Bai spoke directly, glancing at the control panel which stated that if the summoned Heroic Spirits were not responsible in their work, their hiring could be terminated.

He had spent money and certainly couldn't let himself suffer for it.

Furthermore, if his situation was so good, he wouldn't have been easily summoned to the Heroic Spirit Hall by her.

Hearing Zhou Bai's words, Harrison was obviously taken aback, "I'll stay for now. We'll talk about it later."

Having a period of freedom and staying here wasn't bad.

This Human Territory, only a Level 1 village, probably won't last long.

"What do you want me to do?" Harrison asked.

"Our territory's Basic Blacksmith Shop still needs a blacksmith; go work there! You'll need to maintain the residents' weapons on a daily basis, and if you want to forge new weapons, you can ask me for materials. For every new weapon sold, I promise you twenty percent of the profits," Zhou Bai decided immediately.

Hearing Zhou Bai's terms, Harrison's expression relaxed a bit; he was indeed willing to stick to his old trade.

Thinking it over, he said, "Alright! That settles it!"

After speaking, Harrison prepared to leave for the Blacksmith Shop.

"Oh, and I haven't announced my Lord Identity in the territory, so just pretend you don't know," Zhou Bai quickly added.

"Mhm," Harrison nodded.

After Harrison left, Zhou Bai continued to summon another slot.

Even though this Harrison looked down on their territory, he was a Master Blacksmith, which was useful for the territory, and that was enough.

Soon, the second summoning began.

With the experience of the first time, the three of them didn't find it strange when the shadow appeared again.

Zhou Bai went straight to looking at the new talent's information.

[Name: Diana]

[Race: Undead (Human)]

[Level: lv.13]

[Identity: Resident of the Undead Kingdom]

```

[Profession: Tailor]

[Life Value: 1300/1300]

[Physical Value: 1300/1300]

[Attributes: Constitution (13/20), Intelligence (20/20), Agility (10/20), Defense (15/20)]

[Talent: Master Tailor]

[Price: 1 Gold Coin/month]

This time it was a human who had come, and Zhou Bai felt a touch more anticipation in his heart.

[Do you wish to spend 1 Gold Coin per month to employ Tailor·Diana?]

"Yes."

Once her form appeared, the newly-arrived undead Diana approached Zhou Bai and performed a courteous bow, "Diana has seen the Lord."

Compared to the previous Harrison, this one made Zhou Bai and his companions feel much more comfortable.

Polite people are generally more popular wherever they go.

"There's no need for formalities," Zhou Bai quickly responded.

Seeing Zhou Bai's demeanor, Diana's expression also relaxed, "Does the Lord require my services for anything?"

"We have a tailor shop in our territory, would you be able to work there? You will need to mend garments for the residents when required, and you can also develop new products. You'll keep twenty percent of the profits from the new items," said Zhou Bai, offering her the same deal as Harrison.

Diana, hearing this, felt somewhat flattered, "Thank you, Lord."

The stark contrast in the attitudes of the two made Zhou Bai think a bit more before he spoke up, "Before you, I employed a dwarf from the Dwarf Clan. He seemed to hold the Human Territory in contempt."

Upon hearing this, Diana let out a bitter smile, "The Human Territory is in a weak position on the Stan Continent. Many human territories have been conquered by others, and numerous humans have been displaced and become slaves to different races; they naturally look down on us. However, everything I know is from a long time ago. After I died, I entered the Undead Kingdom and stayed there, isolated from the world. I don't know how much time has passed or what's happened outside, and I imagine the status of the Human Territory wouldn't be easily... reversed."

After finishing her thoughts, Diana looked at Zhou Bai with some surprise, "All of this, the Lord should already be aware of, right? Otherwise, how could you have established a Human Territory?"

Listening to her, Zhou Bai's heart pounded rapidly. Seeing the confusion in Diana's eyes, he said directly, "Our territory is a bit special; you'll understand after staying here a while."

Diana blinked, having been out of touch for so long, she knew very little about the current Human Territory, so she decided to stay in this territory for now.

In her heart, she actually hoped this territory could last a long time!

"If there's anything the Lord needs to know, feel free to ask me," Diana said earnestly, realizing Zhou Bai's level wasn't high and that this must be a newly established territory.

"Alright," Zhou Bai nodded. "Additionally, you don't have to call me Lord; I've concealed my Lord Identity in the territory."

"Okay," Diana obediently answered.

Just as Zhou Bai was about to continue asking her some questions, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. He quickly said, "I'll come find you to ask more when I have time later."

No sooner had he finished speaking, a crowd rushed in.

"There's another undead here!"

"It's a human NPC!"

"This Heroic Spirit Hall is actually used by the territory to summon undead."

"This is great, these NPCs must know something."

"Will they answer our questions?"

"Not necessarily! That dwarf undead who just left, he was so arrogant!"

"This one's a human like us; it should be different, right!"

"..."

The crowd surged forward and surrounded Diana, bombarding her with questions while their eyes continuously roamed over her.

Diana: "..."

——Not only is this territory special, but humans seem to be... quite special as well?
