I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 374 - 215: The Fate of the Goblins_2

"Once they’re all settled in, you can take them around," Zhou Bai said directly. "For now, I’ll take them to register and get settled."

For most residents, she would have delegated this task, but she wanted to handle this group of goblins personally, to show her attitude to some of the natives in the territory and to dispel some of their previous notions.

She wasn’t looking to control the thoughts of the natives, she just wanted them to be in sync with Hope Village in terms of mindset.

"Alright, village chief, you go on with your business!" everyone quickly said.

With a light response, Zhou Bai, along with Quan Ziqiang and others, escorted the group of goblins down the main road of Hope Village with great strides.

Of course, Zhou Bai and the others were also taking this opportunity to introduce the goblins to Hope Village.

Victor was an especially fitting presence for this task.

He chattered away as they walked.

"Across the street is Commercial Street, where the focus is on all kinds of delicious food. There are so many tasty things here: hamburgers, fried chicken, fries, beef noodles, shredded pork noodles, zha jiang noodles, various kinds of pastries, and a wide variety of drinks..."

"The second row of shops has, in addition to food, various magic items and potions, which are more supportive in nature."

"..."

"Over here, we have a range of public buildings. That one is the Heroic Spirit Hall; I came here through that. I think about how lucky I am to have come across such a wonderful territory..."

"This is the Lord Mansion. In the future, it will probably be a place you visit every day. ... If you have ore but no money, remember to exchange some quickly, as you’ll need it in the territory."

"..."

With Victor’s detailed introduction, everyone’s impression of Hope Village deepened relentlessly and gradually became more vivid. As they grew familiar, their deep-seated fears ebbed away and they started to see themselves as part of the community.

In this way, under the guidance of Zhou Bai, the village chief, the group quickly completed their registration at the Lord Mansion, and after getting their Identity Cards, they immediately began to sell the ores they had.

[Your Warehouse has purchased Bronze Ore*10]

[Your Warehouse has purchased Red Copper Ore*10]

[Your Warehouse has purchased Refined Iron Ore*10]

[...]

All sorts of different ores like these were entering the Hope Village Warehouse.

Zhou Bai felt a surprising delight.

Although she knew that goblins had a special skill in Mining, she hadn’t expected them to have hoarded so many ores.

Even if they weren’t searching for more, these ores seemed well-suited for Hope Village’s immediate use!

After all, ores were critical materials for any Race in any territory.

This must count as an unexpected blessing for the territory.

In contrast, the newly arrived goblins who had just sold their ores were left a bit strapped. They didn’t have their freedom, copper coins, or any more ore—a truly penniless state.

Watching their clansmen use ores to secure capital for their future lives in Hope Village, they felt a hint of envy.

However, after the envy, they also made a silent vow to work hard at Mining and Mining in the future.

Noticing their gazes, the Goblin Chief, Miers, stepped forward and said, "We’ll also lend you some money to live on, and you can pay us back when you have your own."

"Thank you," the group of goblins hurriedly said with some embarrassment. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

In that moment, they realized they owed a great debt to their clansmen.

"All we can do is help each other out. In the future, in the territory, we must support one another," Miers quickly said, taking the opportunity to rally the clansmen’s spirits—how could he miss such a chance?

Hope Village needed them, and they would work hard to make the Goblin Clan more valuable and indispensable.

Zhou Bai watched this scene from the sidelines, with no intention of intervening.

She had established so many communities and had built separate communities for the Undead, Beastmen, and Goblins with the idea of letting them manage themselves. That way, she just needed to keep the leaders in line.

After most of the ores had been dealt with, Zhou Bai continued leading them to the community prepared for them in the territory.

Seeing the community at that moment, Victor became a little excited. Pointing to the four large characters hanging above the entrance of the community, he said, "These four characters are ’goblin community.’ This place is exclusive to our Goblin Clan. All our clansmen live here, and the entire community will be managed by goblins themselves. Of course, it’s not free. Everyone can rent or buy, and the price won’t be too high..."

Following Victor’s introduction, all goblins looked at the goblin community with a somewhat exceptional gleam in their eyes.

They were all well aware that this would be their stronghold in Hope Village, a stronghold that belonged solely to them.

This feeling was truly special.

If before they had only found footing in human territory, now they had... a home!

It was truly wonderful!

It made them all feel as if they were living in a dream.

Among them, many goblins surreptitiously pinched their own flesh, and after feeling the pain, couldn’t help but laugh out loud like fools.

Even Chief Miers could hardly contain himself; he first pinched his own hand, then pinched the hand of a goblin beside him.

"Clan Leader, why did you pinch me? It hurts!"

Hearing the word ’pain,’ Miers laughed, "As long as it hurts."

The pain meant that everything they were encountering was real, not a dream!

Zhou Bai and the others watched their small movements, their expressions carrying a touch of indulgence.

Of course, now that they had brought them here, they were more willing to let them enjoy the beauty of freedom.

"Victor, I’ll leave this place in your and Chief Miers’ hands," Zhou Bai spoke up.

"Of course, village chief. Rest assured!" Victor quickly replied.

"Village... Chief, I will also arrange things properly with our people, so they won’t cause you any trouble," Miers spoke with a bit of hesitation, but his attitude was exceedingly serious.

"Hmm," Zhou Bai responded lightly and then led his group away.

Once Zhou Bai and his people had left, and only goblins remained, the atmosphere on the scene changed instantly.

"Clan Leader, this place is wonderful."

"Clan Leader, is all this real?"

"Clan Leader, can we buy a house here?"

"Clan Leader, after buying the house, it will truly belong to us and won’t be taken away by anyone, right?"

"Clan Leader,..."

The only words reaching Chief Miers’ ears were these two, accompanied by all kinds of questions.

The noise was quite chaotic.

However, listening to them, Chief Miers had not a trace of impatience and joined Victor in answering their questions one after the other.

The many questions of the goblin residents were answered bit by bit, and they slowly stepped into their very own homes.

The houses in the goblin community were slowly being filled.

Some chose to buy, while others opted to rent.

Regardless, at this moment, they all acquired the same thing.

That was... a sense of belonging.

While the goblins worked hard to start their new life, their arrival also caught the attention of many in the territory, especially the natives and the incoming merchant teams and mercenaries.

The large influx of goblins becoming Hope Village Residents stirred an enthusiastic discussion among them.

Many speculated about the motives behind Hope Village’s actions, considering whether there might be special benefits to gain.

They didn’t believe that a territory would take in goblins simply out of a desire to do good.
