Looking at these summarized titles, those already dealt with required no action from Zhou Bai, but those needing her attention were each pulled out for detailed review.

Two months earlier, Zhou Bai might have been a bit uncomfortable processing these affairs, but now she handled them with ease.

In no time, Zhou Bai had finished dealing with everything.

After stretching languidly, she left her office.

As soon as she did, Bayer, whose office was only a wall away, quickly came over and took the documents from Zhou Bai’s hands.

Seeing her own department head also acting as her secretary, Zhou Bai silently gave her a thumbs-up.

Indeed, she had trained a reliable assistant for herself.

"Is the Village Chief going out again?" Bayer asked casually.

These past few days, Zhou Bai had been leaving early and returning late, and on top of that, her Level had advanced one more, reaching Level 17. Such a significant improvement was bound to draw attention.

"Mhm," Zhou Bai nodded. She relied on the map function of the Lord’s panel to specifically find areas with many Demon Beasts and few people to hunt, reaping considerable rewards.

At just over Level 10, she hadn’t felt it much, but after reaching Level 15, whether it was casting Magic or skill proficiency, there was a noticeable leap. At present, Zhou Bai was increasingly adept at dealing with Middle-level Demon Beasts.

Most importantly, the Experience Points from Middle-level Demon Beasts were doubled, far surpassing those from Basic-level Magical Beasts in quality.

With Experience Points climbing rapidly, her Level naturally increased quickly too.

In fact, not just Zhou Bai alone, many Professionals from Hope Village had started to see the benefits of Middle-level Demon Beasts and were eagerly pursuing them!

Under these circumstances, the Level of all Professionals within the territory was soaring rapidly, with the stronger individuals advancing even faster.

It seemed it wouldn’t take long for a surge of Intermediate Professionals to emerge throughout the territory like bamboo shoots after rain.

At this time, Zhou Bai also understood why a territory needed constant development and promotion to retain people.

Because settling in isolation only meant growing a wider gap from the rest of the world.

Especially for territorial Residents: in a small town, with the same effort, the Experience earned could be twice that of a Level 3 town, not to mention a city.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai felt that if the territory’s strength could be ensured, an early promotion to a town might not be such a bad idea.

Undead, Beastmen, these were all vital forces!

"Then, I hope the Village Chief has a safe trip and returns early," Bayer said proficiently before she went to distribute the documents to the various departments and also to greet the newly arrived NPCs.

This process had been repeated several times in the past few days, how could she not be familiar with it?

Bayer felt this way, and so did the rest of the staff on the floor, who immersed themselves in their work without even raising their heads.

Lately, with more people coming to the territory, the events they had to deal with had doubled compared to before.

To get off work on time, they had to dig in and work hard.

Even with overtime pay, they all preferred to have more personal time.

Watching this scene, Zhou Bai couldn’t help but curve her lips in a slight smile.

These people were also part of the "empire" she had built!

Without lingering any longer, Zhou Bai headed straight out of the Lord Mansion and waited at the station by the door for a Beast Cart to save time traveling to the outskirts of the city.

Shortly after Zhou Bai left, Bernie arrived at Hope Village through the Task Center.

Before coming, he had heard that Hope Village was overcrowded, but he was still shocked to see the bustling crowd.

He had never seen a Level 3 village’s Task Center so crowded.

Even the vacation tasks were no exception.

After all, several bold territories had opened similar channels, but they either couldn’t bear the impact of so many Territory Mercenaries, or they failed to attract people at all.

For a fledgling territory like Hope Village, such appeal was truly astonishing.

At this moment, Bernie didn’t know that the reason for this crowdedness was that upon hearing about Hope Village, several other Blue Star Territories had started pouring into Hope Village in droves.
