I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 288 - 177: Hope Village Has an Alliance

Cooperation comes in many forms.

Hope Village and Glasgow Village could engage in various types of cooperation.

First, Glasgow Village would provide Hope Village with Beast Meat on a regular basis, without concern for the type, and at market Price.

Second, Hope Village would undertake the Breeding of a certain Demon Beast for Glasgow Village, naturally at a Price slightly higher than usual.

However, no matter the type, Hope Village must reserve a portion of goods for their own territory as an exchange of resources.

This was what Viscount Lancelot had planned in his mind, but he hoped Zhou Bai would be the one to bring it up first, so he waited for Zhou Bai’s response.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Bai did speak, but what he said was beyond Lancelot’s expectations.

"With our territories so close to each other, are you interested in building a road between us?"

Upon hearing this, Viscount Lancelot was truly stunned.

Wasn’t this supposed to be about cooperation? Why the need to build a road?

Moreover, building a road is a major undertaking, isn’t it? The labor and financial resources required are probably not small, is it really necessary?

Thinking this, Viscount Lancelot directly voiced his thoughts.

He just wanted to make a simple deal, building a road was too complicated.

"If Lord Viscount is concerned about the investment aspect, then Hope Village can take full responsibility for the road construction," Zhou Bai said without hesitation.

To get rich, first build roads, this principle also holds true in this world.

Especially since the development path Hope Village would take next made roads particularly important.

The most convenient means in this world was the Magic Array, but the Magic Power consumed by the Magic Array was truly not something ordinary people could afford, especially in cases of large populations. Besides, no territory was willing to set up a Magic Array near their own territory. When Heidi once used a Magic Array, she had thoughts about it but later learned that a small town had used a Magic Array to prosper their territory. However, it was later exploited by the Elf Clan during a Territory War. In a short time, they were teleported into the territory, invading it with unstoppable momentum, after all, who could rival the Elf Clan in terms of Magic Reserve? From then on, no territory dared to use a Magic Array within their own lands.

Another point! In the beginning, due to lacking strength, she chose a piece of land with more forests as her territory. While it protected Hope Village to some extent, it also limited the development of Hope Village, with population inflow much slower than in plain areas.

This was compensated for by Hope Village’s external development policies.

But for Hope Village to grow big and strong, what it had now was far from enough.

It must possess more advantages.

Building roads could achieve this.

As long as roads were built connecting the surrounding territories, people from other territories would also continuously flow into Hope Village through these roads.

With roads facilitating travel, not only merchant teams and Mercenary Teams, but small Professional groups and individuals would be able to come, greatly enhancing flexibility.

Glasgow Village was the first trial for this.

Because the two territories complemented each other and had no conflict of interest, it couldn’t be more suitable.

For other territories, she didn’t dare to bring it up yet.

But afterwards, once Hope Village and Glasgow Village developed due to the existence of this road, the surrounding territories would also see the benefits, and they could then network and tie the interests of the surrounding territories to Hope Village.

By then, a force would form among several territories.

And this force could even play a role in Territory Wars. As for how it would play out, that would depend on the right opportunity.

Meanwhile, people like Bayer, who were listening to Zhou Bai’s words, had different thoughts.

Bayer understood Zhou Bai’s intentions, feeling assured, as Zhou Bai’s previous enthusiasm contrasted with his character and now it all became clear.

Although he didn’t understand the meaning behind Zhou Bai’s actions, he knew Zhou Bai, and there must be a long-term plan behind it. He was already calculating in his mind that if this deal was successful, who to find for the construction and how to build it to maximize the benefits.

As for Zhong Yongnian, he was now excited.

From a business perspective, building a road could make their trade more convenient, and the commerce between them and the Glasgow Village territory would become even more frequent.

Especially since Glasgow Village was a Breeding base; other territories in need of Demon Beasts would definitely go there, and as long as the road between the two territories was unobstructed, the number of people coming to Hope Village would also increase. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
