I Become a Landlady in the Game World-Chapter 333 - 198: Personally Lead the Team to Respond

Hope Village.

The sky had deepened, and most professionals were gradually returning to the territory from outside.

Lately, the residents of the territory were coming back later and later, all striving for the final accumulation of Contribution.

Therefore, after their return, they basically headed straight for the Lord Mansion to quickly exchange their earnings for the day.

And there were others, such as the territory soldiers, for instance, who went directly to the Training Camp after dinner.

Do not think they were unaware; aside from the staff at the Lord Mansion, many of the new local residents had their eyes set on the positions of territory soldiers.

These locals were often of higher levels, many of them intermediate professionals. Under such circumstances, if they didn’t want to be outclassed by locals entering the military barracks, they had no choice but to strive to surpass them.

Zhou Zhengping, Li Xingteng, and a few other Soldier Team Captains were especially cognizant of this. If their levels were too low and newcomers joined their squads, what would they do if they couldn’t even compete with the soldiers?

Of course, the most important point was that they were not yet the official Soldier Team Captains. If they were not diligent, it was possible for someone to surpass them later on.

"Recently, those new mercenaries are really going all out, the pressure is quite something!" On the way, Li Xingteng couldn’t help but start a conversation with Zhou Zhengping.

Those who came from other territories were King of Competition, one after another!

Actually, Li Xingteng understood this feeling well because, in their original territory, being a mercenary meant that one might remain a mercenary for life. The only way to move up was to go from a smaller territory to a larger one, and then to find that tiny opportunity for advancement in rank.

But in Hope Village! One just needed to work hard to achieve it.

Even though the territory was still small now, in the long term, it was filled with immense potential rewards.

Whoever it was, they would want to give it their all.

"Their levels have the advantage, but our Contribution also holds a significant advantage. If they can reach it before us, then it would truly mean that they are better, and it would be a well-deserved victory for them," Zhou Zhengping appeared much more sanguine compared to Li Xingteng.

Of course, he stood on different grounds.

This territory belonged to his daughter, the more capable people it had, the better it was for the territory, and the easier it would be for his daughter. Naturally, he hoped to see more of this scenario.

Li Xingteng looked at Zhou Zhengping and gave him a sidelong glance, "What you say does make sense."

After all, following the previous incident, he had confirmed one thing: amongst Zhou Zhengping’s family, there was definitely a Lord.

He had never suspected it before because the family kept such a low profile.

Furthermore, he wondered, if they really were the Lord and wanted to hide their identity, why not leave the territory first then return once people came; wouldn’t it be better to leave no traces at all?

Therefore, it had never crossed his mind that they could be doing the exact opposite.

Until Zhou Bai became Village Chief and came forward to accept her knighthood, and considering Zhou Zhengping and Ding Qiurou’s current positions, he had then confirmed his suspicions.

It seemed that if no one took the time to probe, it would probably be very difficult to discover.

Only those with ulterior motives would uncover it.

And those with ulterior motives, once they found out, would mostly keep it to themselves.

As for the natives, they thought even less about it.

He didn’t know what the future held, but for now, he maintained one attitude: keeping silent after realizing the truth.

As for what Zhou Zhengping said, it had its merits.

If they could be caught up to so easily, they indeed deserved to step down and make way for others.

Zhou Zhengping smiled at Li Xingteng’s attitude.

He understood that Li Xingteng was suspicious, or rather, quite a few people in the territory were probably suspicious now. He had discussed this issue with his daughter Zhou Bai, and their final decision was to continue living their simple life as usual.

According to his daughter, whether or not they were found out, she would definitely not admit to it unless absolutely necessary.

That made sense too; as long as she was seen as the Village Chief by most people, no one would impose the demands of a Lord upon her.

Regardless, whatever his daughter chose to do, he would support her.

However, he would still strive to level up and enhance his own strength.

That way, no matter when, he could always be the strongest support for his daughter.

The two men, with an understanding between them, headed in the direction of the Training Camp.

Upon entering the Training Camp, the place was packed with people. Lines were forming at both the soldiers’ Training Camp and the professionals’ Training Camp.
