CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 271: CONTINUE THE CONSTRUCTION, STRIVE TO FILL IT UP

Bayer merely listened to Zhou Bai’s words.

Lord, you’re still "kind-hearted," aren’t you!

Or perhaps, her heart harbored a broader world.

However, considering the explosive development of Hope Village recently, Bayer did not want to dwell on these matters.

As the Lord had said, her actions were harmless to Hope Village.

Hope Village’s own upcoming plans were somewhat more critical.

Sitting up straight, Bayer handed the documents in her hand to Zhou Bai, "These matters need to be confirmed as soon as possible."

"...Okay," Zhou Bai sighed deeply.

Before, she only needed to reminisce about her idle days before the apocalypse when she was outside.

Now, as Hope Village’s responsibilities grew, she needed to be involved both inside and out.

Ah! Just carry on working!

Soon, the content of the first document appeared before Zhou Bai.

It concerned the selection of another group of goblins and the incidental mining of the limestone mine.

Hope Village’s formidable defensive power attracted the attention of numerous territories; inquiries about cement sales to the City Construction Management Office were constant, especially because the cement factory was currently affiliated with this department and truly belonged to Hope Village’s official operations.

And the current price of cement was getting higher and higher.

Selling it could indeed allow Hope Village to obtain a large amount of capital in the shortest time; with this capital, Hope Village’s strength could leap forward.

How could Bayer not be tempted by such a scenario!

After Zhou Bai brought up the matter before, Bayer and Goblin Chief Miers had also determined the candidates during these days; now, all they needed was Zhou Bai’s agreement, and they could set off immediately.

Right now, when the flow of people in and out of the territory was substantial, they only needed to leave in disguise, and it definitely would not attract too much attention.

"Check the candidates to see if there’s any issue," Bayer took the initiative to ask when Zhou Bai had almost finished reading, "Chief Miers says he wants to go personally because only a Clan Leader can more easily gain trust. Of course, if he succeeds in persuading them, he also plans to act as an overseer there, mining the ore completely before bringing people back, to avoid any complications."

Naturally, it was reassuring to have all the valuable things in one’s hands.

"No problem, we’ll go with the candidates you have selected! Just one thing, add five more teams to protect them!" This time, the goblins had chosen over fifty people, and the soldier team had dispatched five teams, more than fifty individuals, which was already not a small number, but she still felt it would be safer to add a little more protection, especially when later on, they would need to escort even more goblins back.

"Isn’t that too many? The territory also needs people..." Bayer instinctively felt it wasn’t right.

As more people entered Hope Village, more were needed to patrol and maintain order.

Five teams, more than fifty people, was really a lot.

"No worries, I’ve upgraded the Heroic Spirit Hall and the Beast God Temple, so the summoned beings have increased from 2 to 4 per person. Moreover, it’s no longer necessary for the Lord to summon in person. I plan to expand the number of undead and beastmen in the territory. And the newly summoned undead and beastmen will have corresponding level increases. When it comes to manpower, Hope Village will not fall short," Zhou Bai took the initiative to clarify the situation.

Hearing Zhou Bai mention this, Bayer’s eyes brightened.

Previously, Zhou Bai had stopped summoning, only calling upon special talents, and he was well aware that it was all for Hope Village’s benefit.

He had guessed that there would be further expansion as the village developed, but he didn’t expect it to come so quickly.

He was well aware that, given the current rate at which Hope Village was making money, it could support quite a few people!

Most importantly, due to the binding force of the contracts on these summoned beings, most of them would become Zhou Bai’s staunchest supporters.

Even though Zhou Bai and many people in the territory were of the same origin and they respected Zhou Bai, as one of Zhou Bai’s confidants, Bayer wished for Zhou Bai to possess absolute power.

The summoned beings, who shared interests with Zhou Bai, would not betray her, especially the undead from the Undead Kingdom.

Therefore, he hoped for an even larger undead force.

As for the prospect of the new personnel being stronger, he saw no problem with that.

No matter how powerful, they had to start from scratch in Hope Village to accumulate Contribution. He was working so hard, continuously increasing his Contribution—there was no fear of being overtaken by later arrivals!

Thinking of this, Bayer spoke, "In that case, there’s no issue. If we summon 8 people per day, it will only take a few days to replenish our numbers."
