#Notice for Recruitment at Lord Mansion: Combined with our work schedule, we will conduct a written examination for staff recruitment. The following details are as follows: The examination will take place in two days at the square. Admissions are based on scores, and in case of a tie, the one with higher Contribution Value wins.#

#Note: Registration deadline: Before the exam#

Just like that, the notice brightly appeared on the bulletin board of the Lord Mansion, and the residents of the territory had received it as well.

At first glance, many people couldn’t believe it.

"I thought just being able to register for the selection was the limit in Hope Village, but now it’s an exam selection. Impressive."

"Haha, is our territory aiming for fairness and justice? Oh, I like it."

"I signed up, but there are a bunch of people with higher Contribution than me; I thought I had no chance, but now, it seems like a great opportunity."

"Does this mean that as long as the Contribution meets the registration standards, those who come later are also eligible?"

"Yes, I only became a resident these past few days, but the territory awarded me quite a bit of Contribution Value. I think I can give it a shot."

"I was thinking of resting for a couple of days before starting work, but now I’ll immediately lead a team to kill the Demon Beast and sell resources to the territory. I must gather 500 Contribution, let’s go!"

"But what will be on the exam?"

"Hurry and go to the Lord Mansion and ask the staff."

"..."

Residential area.

Locke’s family of five was arranging their home.

The two-story stone house had a kitchen, dining room, living room, and bathroom on the first floor and two rooms directly on the second floor.

One room for the couple and one room for the three children.

Although the rooms were a bit cramped, the space on the first floor was exceptionally spacious.

Especially after the furniture was set up, the whole space became cozy.

"The new home is so beautiful! I like it!"

"I like it too."

"Father, I like it here."

The three sons came down from the upstairs rooms, visibly excited.

Kids! They are always happy when they arrive at a new home.

Especially since today they had enjoyed a lot of food they couldn’t have before, which made them even more joyous.

"Don’t you guys mind that the house here is small?" Beth asked, as it was much smaller than the place they had lived in Barnes Village.

But she still liked it here because it was so comfortable, and the residents were very warm, which was quite different from their previous living environment.

When she asked the children, it was a bit teasing, especially since they were reluctant to leave some playmates in Barnes Village at first.

"If it’s too small, let them grow up, buy their own houses, and move out," Locke said with a smile.

"No! We want to be with father and mother forever," the eldest, Allen, quickly stated his position.

"It’s big enough," the younger two, Jamie and Oston, also chimed in synchronously.

Locke listened, a small smile curling the corners of his mouth, as anyone would be happy to hear their children say that.

Just then, Locke received a notification from the territory.

He glanced at it habitually and decided to ignore it if it was unimportant.

But when he saw the content, Locke instinctively stood up from the sofa, his face in disbelief.

"What’s wrong?" Startled by his sudden action, Beth quickly asked with concern.

"It’s good news," Locke took a deep breath, somewhat excitedly.

"What good news?" Beth felt slightly relieved and then curious.

"The Lord Mansion is recruiting staff based on examination scores; as long as you have 500 Contribution, you can register," Locke said.

"You’re not doing the merchant team anymore?" As soon as Locke spoke, Beth understood his intention, but thinking about the team that Locke had worked hard to build, she was hesitant.

"Yes! But I don’t necessarily have to lead the team personally. I prefer to invest money. Also, I’ve learned that the staff of the Commercial Management Office need to travel to other territories as well, and they don’t restrict staff from being involved with merchant teams. They just need to be fair and just," Locke explained.

He had researched this earlier but felt his Contribution was insufficient and arrived too late to have a good chance.

However, now the registration time had been pushed back, and they had chosen an exam to determine positions; clearly, they were giving opportunities to new residents like him.

Given this, he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity.

Even if he didn’t succeed in the end, he would have tried his best.

Thinking this, Locke added, "And even if I participate, I might not succeed. I view this participation as gaining experience. We often don’t get a turn at jobs in other territories. Now, Hope Village is giving everyone an equal opportunity. I don’t want to miss it. If Hope Village grows into a town or city one day, it’ll truly be a leap in destiny."
