I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Exiting the tailor shop, Zhou Bai noticed the Blacksmith Shop nearby and paused, only then remembering Harrison the NPC!

"Shall we check out the Blacksmith Shop?" Zhou Bai suggested, although Harrison was haughty, he was still a local NPC, and she wondered if she could pry some additional information from him.

Not expecting a lot, but hoping for something.

"Okay." Ding Qiurou was also quite curious about Dwarves.

The two reached an agreement and went straight into the Blacksmith Shop.

Upon seeing someone enter, Harrison didn't even lift his head, continuing to work on the Iron Ore at his workstation.

Like Diana, who hadn't touched materials for a long time in the Undead Kingdom, he felt the same.

Therefore, even though materials were scarce, Harrison wanted to indulge in his craft to work his hands back in.

"Do you need any materials?" Zhou Bai took the initiative to ask.

Hearing Zhou Bai's voice, Harrison looked up and said indifferently, "Do you think you could provide whatever materials I need?"

"Yes!" Zhou Bai confidently replied, backed by the System Store, but then added, "I just hope the materials I provide are worth the effort."

Upon hearing this, Harrison's face darkened, "Are you questioning my professional integrity?"

"Not at all, it's just that my territory is small, and I'm trying to be frugal." Zhou Bai continued.

"Hmph, you have a Level 1 Territory with Basic City Walls and you're short on Gold Coins?" Though Harrison looked down on Human Territories, he was somewhat satisfied with the village setup after coming from Heroic Spirit Hall, and he felt that he might be willing to stay a bit longer.

"Due to the upcoming Territory War, I have to be careful. If we accidentally encounter a Dwarf Clan territory, perhaps..." Zhou Bai said, watching Harrison's reaction.

"If you encounter a Dwarf Clan territory, I suggest you surrender early! With your territory's low Human strength and poorly made weapons, even strong walls won't withstand." Harrison looked disdainful, "If you encounter another Race's territory, you might be able to hold them off a bit."

Listening to Harrison, Zhou Bai got the picture.

The defensive power of her territory was actually quite good.

Zhou Bai then seized the opportunity Harrison gave, "We can slowly improve our strength, while for weapons, it's all on you."

Harrison was once again choked up by her words and came to realize Zhou Bai's purpose for asking, he huffed, "I can make Silver Level weapons now, but without Level 10 strength, you wouldn't be able to use them anyway."

"Just because we can't use them now doesn't mean we can't in the future. In a few days, someone will be able to buy them, so just go ahead and make them!" Zhou Bai said earnestly.

Harrison was caught off-guard by Zhou Bai's words, he calmed his frown and huffed, "There's also no need to make too much in advance. The Iron Axes and Long Spears sold in the Blacksmith Shop before are passable, I'll make some weapons in other categories. As for Level 10 and above, it's best to customize weapons according to each person's Profession and Attributes. That's what fits best. I refuse to make assembly-line weapons."

"We'll be counting on you then." Zhou Bai gathered a rough idea of the Master Blacksmith's personality from this brief conversation and became more respectful, somewhat principled.

"As for these materials I'm practising with, they'll also be sold when the time comes, letting fate decide. I won't let your materials go to waste," Harrison was still resentful over Zhou Bai's earlier comment, he said grumpily.

"No worries, no worries," Zhou Bai quickly said, as long as there was no wasteful spending, it was fine. That was her money, after all!

Harrison: "..."

—Who just said not to waste, showing two different faces before and after?

"Leave some Iron Ore and wood for me, now go away!" He then unceremoniously issued an eviction order.

Zhou Bai happily left the materials and once again took Ding Qiurou and left.

Upon leaving the Blacksmith Shop, Zhou Bai felt much better, "Although Heroic Spirit Hall summons the Undead, I have a feeling that the summoned will match the words 'Heroic Spirit'. By summoning more people, perhaps we can learn more about this world and gain more chances to survive."

Looking at Zhou Bai like this, Ding Qiurou couldn't help but speak, "It wasn't easy for everyone to get their spirits up today, preparing to level up, to face the territory wars, the new world. But who would've thought, this is all just the beginning. There are still so many challenges waiting for us. Xiao Bai, are you tired?"

In recent days, her own spirit was constantly taut, with no chance to relax. By empathy, being the Lord, Xiao Bai's pressure must be even greater!

"Tired! But I'm used to it! Compared to being clueless before and only able to react passively, I actually feel relieved now that I have so much information and a direction to prepare in," Zhou Bai said optimistically.

Hearing Zhou Bai's words, Ding Qiurou held her hand as if giving her strength.

Xiao Bai was truly comforted.

"Mom, I'm really glad you and Dad are by my side, so I can throw myself wholeheartedly into building our territory, our home," Zhou Bai said earnestly. Because of her parents, she had the courage to face everything.

"Should I notify the Residents about the changeable weather?" Ding Qiurou asked.

"No need to inform them, they'll guess it in a couple of days. Just make sure the territory is ready with the logistics," Zhou Bai shook her head. Knowing ahead might unsettle them. Rather than having them live in fear, it's better to support them with real actions when things happen, letting them know they have a territory backing them up. That way, even when difficulties arise, they won't easily give up.

"Mhmm." Seeing that Zhou Bai had a plan, Ding Qiurou didn't say anything more. She too would keep this secret.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai noticed the quiet territory and glanced at the territory map, which faintly showed various little green dots surrounding the red dots, which were slowly decreasing.

The residents who went out today were really brave!

Now that the territory's work was done, she should also care about her own affairs.

Everyone was working hard; she couldn't lag behind!

And by the way, she could also explore the surroundings of the territory.

Thinking this, Zhou Bai then spoke, "Mom, you stay in the territory for now! I'm going to have a look outside."

"Sure, go on!" Ding Qiurou nodded.

She understood very well that strength was the foundation of surviving in this world, she wouldn't hinder Xiao Bai's quest to become stronger.
