73 -051: Starting a Profession

In the following days, the territory entered a phase of steady development.

Every day, two NPCs from the Heroic Spirit Hall and the Beast God Temple were hired by Zhou Bai, and he directly put them into the barracks.

The Undead NPCs were as always easy to manage, and in these days, the summoned beings were still mercenaries and swordsmen, who, after joining the barracks, formed an Undead army primarily composed of mercenaries and swordsmen under Bayer’s guidance.

When the Beastman NPCs arrived, they tried to stir up trouble, but Zhou Bai had some understanding of the Beastmen’s “poverty” and “released from employment,” one by one, he got a hold of them.

They then had no choice but to enter the barracks and be assigned by Bayer, joining various squads to toil for the territory.

As for the residents, one was more dedicated than the other, all striving toward their own goals.

At this time, inside the Lord Mansion was a scene of bustling activity, as two teams had brought back a group of survivors from outside the territory.

While registering the newcomers, they also took the opportunity to sell the goods accumulated in their backpacks to the territory.

Cao Jingshan looked at the twenty or so people brought back by Ling Mingzhi’s team, his eyes showing envy, “You guys had a good haul today!”

As he spoke, the look he gave Ling Mingzhi changed.

Although he joined later, his Contribution clearly surpassed the others.

He must have made it into the soldier team by now!

“Hmm, not bad.

How about you?” Ling Mingzhi said with a smile on his face.

With the more than twenty people he rescued today, his Contribution had exceeded 500, and he was eligible to exchange for the Soldier Identity.

After becoming a soldier, his next step was to become the Soldier Team Captain.

“We only managed to save a few people today, it was purely by chance that we stumbled upon them.”

“Saving people is always good,” Ling Mingzhi continued.

Although they also saved people for the sake of Contribution, they were happy to be able to save lives.

“Are you going back out again later?” Cao Jingshan asked.

“I am!

I plan to go a bit further.

The Demon Beasts and resource points around the territory are being cleared out too quickly.

To reap more rewards, we have to venture further,” Ling Mingzhi said directly.

The reason he could save so many people was that their team went far enough.

“How about our two teams go together?” Cao Jingshan proposed.

“It would be safer, right?

Once we get to the place, we can split up and act independently.

If we encounter any danger, we can help each other?”

Although Ling Mingzhi’s team arrived late, maybe because they didn’t have it easy in Overlord Village, the more than 200 people who came to Hope Village adapted exceptionally quickly.

Moreover, they were bolder and more daring than the original residents of Hope Village, stirring up the entire territory.

Seeing Ling Mingzhi and his team, Cao Jingshan felt that he also needed to step up his game; otherwise, over time, he would definitely fall behind.

“Sure!” Ling Mingzhi nodded without hesitation.

Speaking of Demon Beasts and various resources, there were plenty in the outside world.

For one team or individual to monopolize them, well, that was wishful thinking.

Moving together was beneficial to everyone provided that the income was not evenly split.

In fact, the larger the team, the more Demon Bosses they could capture and the sooner they could level up to 10, thus unlocking their Profession.

Everyone in the territory was watching to see who would be the first to unlock a Profession.

And listening to their conversation, the new survivors’ eyes revealed a touch of envy.

Seemingly noticing their thoughts, Cao Jingshan comforted them from the side.

“Most of you have a decent Level, and after you’ve rested up, you can join the teams that have already been formed in the territory, or you can form your own teams.

As long as you are willing to work, life can be very comfortable.

Even if you have enough Gold Coins, you don’t need to go out, but as someone who’s been through it, I wouldn’t recommend that.”

Even though Hope Village was genuinely well-off now, no one dared say that it would remain peaceful forever.

To be prepared for anything, one must improve their Level to survive outside the territory.

Of course, the most important thing was that to ensure Hope Village’s continued existence in the future, more powerful individuals were needed.

“Thank you,” said the new survivors, quickly expressing their gratitude for his kindness.

“You’re welcome,” Cao Jingshan smiled and then turned to a few shabbily dressed survivors, “You can head to the tailor shop later and get some new clothes; the simplest set costs 100 copper coins, really not expensive.

And for hot water, you can go to the restaurant; they have a special window where they sell hot water.”

“Mhm.” The group hastily nodded in agreement.

Seeing their relatively amiable demeanor, Cao Jingshan became somewhat curious and asked, “How did you all…

end up looking like this?”

It was too pitiful!

These days, new survivors had been arriving continuously, but none had looked quite like them.

At this question, one of the group, who clearly seemed to be the leader, replied with a wry smile, “I’ll introduce myself first, my name is Gu Chengji.

We have been surviving in the wilderness since the start of the Doomsday Game, never encountering any territory nor knowing of their existence.

We created a small wilderness survival point for ourselves, and although we could gather some clothing from hunting and foraging, they wouldn’t last long once we encountered a Demon Beast.

Honestly, if we hadn’t met you, we wouldn’t have known how much longer we could’ve survived out there?

We were almost living like wild men.”

As time went on in the Doomsday Game, it became increasingly difficult to survive in the wild.

Even as they continually adapted over time, they never once had a good night’s rest.

They had thought themselves lucky just to be alive.

Who could have imagined that territories like this existed in the world?

When they encountered Cao Jingshan and his group, they were on the verge of tears—fully equipped with food and necessities, living on a completely different level.

Cao Jingshan listened and gave Gu Chengji and his companions a sympathetic look.

The survivors around them felt the same sympathy, but also began sharing their own stories.

“We came from another territory.

Life there was unbearable, practically driven to death by that Lord.

Becoming residents meant being constantly extorted under various pretexts, with only rentals available as no houses were for sale, and prices rising every day.

They wouldn’t even allow people to sleep on the open grounds of the territory.

Only after learning of other territories did we decide to follow a group and try our luck.”

“Our territory was the same.”

“Our previous territory’s fees were reasonable, but the Lord couldn’t control the territory.

There were too many factions, and after a hard day’s work outside, everything we earned went to others.

No wonder we couldn’t stay.”

“In my territory, the Lord was a foreigner, and there was racial discrimination.

We, as people from country C, were oppressed and couldn’t stand it.”

“…”

These were the stories of those who had come from other territories.

One should know that not all territories were as good as Hope Village.

But previously, they had thought there was only one territory, so no matter how bad it was, they had no choice but to stay.

After the Territory War, more and more people learned about the existence of other territories, and those who couldn’t bear their original territories naturally went out to gamble on a change.

Fortunately, they had gambled right.

“It’s all in the past, now live a good life in Hope Village,” Cao Jingshan said after listening to their stories, offering the only consolation he could.

“Of course.” Gu Chengji and the others hastily agreed.

This Hope Village was clearly a reliable place.

After registering, the group promptly formed teams to start familiarizing themselves with the territory.

Cao Jingshan and Ling Mingzhi were preparing to continue leading their teams outside.

They had just left the Lord Mansion when they suddenly received a notification from the system.

[Dear Host, a resident of your Hope Village has reached Level 10 and has successfully unlocked a Profession.

Please keep up the good work!]
