I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 63 - 046 Where Did His People Go_2

The next moment, they ridiculed themselves; as captives, they basically didn’t have a choice at all.

It was just uncertain whether they would become Residents or Slaves?

Those who were still fighting, upon seeing the notification, had the same thought.

However, they had an additional thought.

That was, if there were no rewards or very few, would they still return to Overlord Village?

They couldn’t forget the ruthless words spoken by Ke Gaojie.

So cruel!

Moreover, they had also noticed that during the combat, the Residents of Hope Village hadn’t gone all out; it seemed like no one had died on the scene, only captives.

Because of this, many hesitated to take action after seeing the notification, while those planning to return watched as no one made a move, and they too didn’t immediately make a decision.

At this moment, Zhou Bai, noticing Ke Gaojie suddenly disappearing, had realized the unusual behavior of the Overlord Village Residents.

Although the system hadn’t yet sent a notification, it was clear that Ke Gaojie had chosen to surrender, but his Residents were still here, hesitating in their movements.

A little deduction made it clear that the reason the victorious side hadn’t received a notification from this territory war was probably something that hadn’t yet been dealt with, and that something likely involved the Overlord Village Residents still on the scene.

[If the war is lost, the opponent plunders the territory’s buildings, supplies, and even population.]

The words Diana had said floated to his mind.

Did plundering the population mean this?

They were making a decision!

Whether to return to Overlord Village or stay in Hope Village, the settlement would only come after the choice.

Once he was certain of this, Zhou Bai loudly announced, “The Lord of Overlord Village might have surrendered, everyone stop fighting!”

**

As a recognized heavyweight of the territory, Zhou Bai’s words carried weight; hearing what she said and seeing each Overlord Village Resident’s dazed appearance, they promptly stopped and quickly retreated from the combat zone, forming a surrounding stance.

Once they stopped, the Overlord Village Residents also halted.

Zhou Bai quickly continued, “Your Lord has already left.

I guess you haven’t left because you now have a choice, whether to stay in Hope Village or return to Overlord Village.

I hope you choose to stay in Hope Village.

We have strong capabilities and are directly managed by the Doomsday game system, fair and just.”

Zhou Bai had basis for saying this; if Overlord Village was really good, then upon receiving the choice notification, these people would have left immediately following their Lord.

But they hadn’t, and what did that imply?

It implied that Overlord Village wasn’t as good as imagined, so they hesitated when facing the choice.

What she wanted to say was to keep them in Hope Village while they hesitated.

“You don’t have a Lord?

What’s the living situation like in the territory?” Ling Mingzhi, who had long wanted to leave Overlord Village, hurriedly asked upon hearing Zhou Bai’s words.

“At least for now, no one has stepped up to claim to be Lord.

Our daily tasks are issued by the system, and as for living, the more you strive, the more you earn, making life better in Hope Village,” Zhou Bai said.

At this time, the Residents of Hope Village also understood what Zhou Bai meant.

One by one, they stood up.

Zhengping: “There’s a high degree of freedom in Hope Village; as long as you don’t commit robbery or other crimes, no one will bother you.”

Xingteng: “Prices inside the territory are very low.

To become a Resident of Hope Village, you only need to pay 10 silver coins, a wooden house only costs 6 Gold Coins, and renting it for a day costs only 100 copper coins.

There are many types of buildings, weapons can be bought at the Blacksmith Shop, daily Equipment at the tailor shop, there’s a dining hall for meals, a grocery store for supplies, and the Lord Mansion for selling materials.”
