I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 290 - 177: Hope Village Has an Alliance_3

Zhou Bai had prepared before, and now adding another power meant an extra layer of security. If it were possible to add several layers, Zhou Bai wouldn’t oppose it! She wished nothing more than to turn her territory into an impregnable fortress.

Zhou Bai had thought of it, and so had Viscount Lancelot.

Although Hope Village stood to gain more benefits, he wouldn’t get any less.

Judging by the popularity of Hope Village’s goods, even half of the profits would amount to a substantial sum. When that money was invested in the development of his territory, Glasgow Village’s future prospects wouldn’t need worrying.

Viscount Lancelot’s gaze towards Zhou Bai underwent some changes.

In just a short while, the other party had linked his territory’s interests with those of Hope Village using benefits. Keep in mind that his visit to Hope Village was impulsive, which only indicated the other party’s resourcefulness and that they had long thought about the future of Hope Village.

Such a territory was bound to have a promising future!

He was in for this "deal."

"Village chief, a pleasure doing business with you!" A brief eight words signified Viscount Lancelot’s stance.

As the words fell, Zhou Bai’s heartbeat steadied considerably, and she turned to Bayer, "Have someone come to draft the contract."

"Yes," Bayer nodded.

After Bayer left, Zhou Bai looked toward Bernie and several other merchant team leaders from Glasgow Village, who now had a hint of bewilderment on their faces.

The earlier matters had still been within their grasp, but the subsequent plan to join the venture had exceeded their expectations.

With two territories preparing to cooperate on opening a shop, was there still a role for them?

Seemingly noticing their confusion, Zhou Bai added, "Your cooperation with Hope Village will not be affected, in fact, you can even source goods from the franchise stores of your territory at the same price."

Although she didn’t specify, the implication assured them of the ability to procure goods for sale in Glasgow Village.

The others, listening to this and seeing that Viscount Lancelot expressed no objections, felt much more secure inside.

Indeed, the Glasgow Village market was not a small one!

Immediately after, Zhou Bai glanced at Zhong Yongnian, signaling with her eyes.

Zhong Yongnian understood instantly and began discussions with Bernie and others on the spot, especially upon learning that each of them had a Breeding Ground. His demeanor became even more enthusiastic, and they quickly signed a contract there and then.

While they were negotiating, Bayer returned with two individuals.

The newcomers were office personnel previously recruited by the territory; one was an attorney skilled at drafting contracts, while the other was a native resident of this world, tasked with drafting the contract in the world’s language.

After understanding the requirements of Zhou Bai and Viscount Lancelot, the two staffers got to work and drafted the contract on the spot, in duplicate!

Once both parties were satisfied, they signed their names.

The moment the names were signed, the contract emitted a glow.

This meant the contract had taken effect and was now protected by a Magic Contract.

Once the presence of the Magic Contract on the document was confirmed, Viscount Lancelot was reassured and carefully stored his copy.

"Viscount Lancelot, how about I show you around Hope Village?" Zhou Bai invited at that moment.

"No need to trouble yourself, I’ll just take a look around on my own," Viscount Lancelot replied.

Once the contract was signed, Viscount Lancelot’s attitude towards Hope Village and Zhou Bai changed.

Previously, Zhou Bai’s company was required to underscore his status, but now, as allies, there was no need for formalities.

He would be more comfortable wandering around alone! It would be like taking a tour.

"Alright! Let those below us handle subsequent cooperative matters," Zhou Bai agreed. With the noble’s pride, it was unlikely he would personally handle the shop, so it was best left to their subordinates to coordinate.

"Mhm." Sure enough, Viscount Lancelot didn’t refuse.

And so, after leaving the shop together, the two went their separate ways.

Watching Viscount Lancelot, protected by his guards, head towards other food shops, Zhou Bai took a long breath in relief.

Hope Village now had an ally!

Just as Zhou Bai was about to head back to the Lord Mansion with Bayer to continue their busy work, someone hurriedly approached them.

"Captain Luo Ke?" Zhou Bai remembered him.

Previously representing Barnes Village was one thing, but this time, he had brought over more than a thousand people, and most had become residents of Hope Village, making up the main force of this migration of population.
