I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 299 - 181: Winning People’s Hearts_2

"No matter what you do, I will support you from behind," Beth said with a gentle smile, seeing the glimmer in Locke’s eyes.

Locke listened, joy also revealing itself in his gaze.

The feeling of having family support was wonderful, instantly fueling his motivation even more.

It was at this time that he received a message that someone was at the door.

He hurried to open it.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw several of his teammates.

"Captain, did you see the recruitment announcement for the territory? If you pass the selection exam, you only need a little more contribution. Are you going to participate?"

"You must participate! This is a rare opportunity."

"We’ll accompany you to hunt Demon Beasts and gather data to accumulate contribution."

"There’s still two days left, we have enough time."

"..."

They said eagerly.

Having been with Locke for so long, they all knew his ambition and came to him as soon as they saw the announcement.

The captain had protected them for so long, now it was their turn to help him.

Seeing several faces urging him on, Locke nodded, "Yes, I was actually planning on this, I will scout ahead for you."

"Great," several of them replied cheerfully.

As Locke went to register, he saw several familiar figures on the way.

Locke felt even more blood-boiled by such a scene.

He never feared competition, he only feared lack of opportunity.

Tavern.

Viscount Lancelot was drinking in the tavern.

After all, wandering around the territory was tiring, and it was pleasant to have a drink in a corner.

Most importantly, the tavern had a mix of people and lots of small news.

"Where does your team plan to go tomorrow?"

"We’re heading toward Aberto Duowei Village; since it was overrun, the place has become ruins, but the number of Demon Beasts nearby hasn’t decreased much, and the teams that went there recently had a good harvest."

"Isn’t that a bit dangerous? I heard that the Demon Beasts there are mostly at Level 15 and above, even Level 20 bosses, which are tough to handle."

"As long as we have enough people, we’re fine. The bigger teams going there have more than a hundred people, enough to give those Demon Beasts a hard time."

"Also, there are a lot of new residents in the territory now, many of whom are quite powerful, including many intermediate-level professionals leading the teams. If you’re worried, you can follow them."

"Then I’ll go join one of those teams tomorrow. With more Demon Beasts, we can kill more, gain more experience points, and unlock more skills..."

"How many skills do you know?"

"I have more than a dozen altogether."

"I only have four! But all my skill levels are at Level 3, what about yours?"

"Get lost! You’re just showing off! Although many of mine are only Level 1 or 2, I still hold the saying ’the more skills, the better.’"

"..."

Viscount Lancelot listened to their chatter with relish.

These original residents of Hope Village were different; their speech was amusing, and they appeared full of vibrant energy, bursting with life.

With such talent, could they really be this happy?

"My lord, I’ve found out that their territory was established less than two months ago, and at that time, most of them were just ordinary humans. In just over a month, they opened up professions, all double professions at least, and every single one included a Mage. Although their levels and professional abilities may not seem great to us, considering their experience, it’s simply miraculous!" Haus, just back from outside, lowered his voice and reported after sorting through what he knew.

"Ordinary people more than a month ago?" Viscount Lancelot’s expression became unusual, naturally inferring the time the territory was established based on its level and the timeline.

More than a month to establish a Level 2 village was normal, but what was abnormal was that the residents were ordinary just a month ago.

"Yes, I’ve asked many people, and that’s what they all say. You can tell from their skill levels and combat experience," Haus exclaimed.

"That really is impressive, a strong talent." Viscount Lancelot’s eyes narrowed slightly, wondering if such talent was innate or acquired, and continued, "These original residents of the territory are relatively young. What about their parents? How is their talent?"

"Many of them don’t have friends or family nearby; they were suddenly brought to this continent, mostly alone. A few are lucky to have family with them, but those are very few indeed."
