Chapter 557 - 295: Rising to Fame_2
"You said that, and now I kind of remember."
"I’ve remembered; that territory suddenly rose over a thousand places in the rankings. It also just appeared on the Stan Continent a little over a month ago. That’s Hope Village."
"I remember too. Then a Mercenary Team from our territory also went to join them."
"It was the team Ellis was in. Back then, I didn’t understand why they left Sorrel Town for a small village. Now it seems, this village is not that simple!"
At the scene, people who knew Ellis or had heard of Hope Village began to recognize this territory a bit.
On the other side, the few vendors who were taken away were a bit nervous.
They knew the products they sold were eye-catching, but firstly, these products originated from Hope Village where they were just transporters, and secondly, they dared to come to Sorrel Town knowing the town’s good reputation. Sorrel Town was particularly well-regarded in their area, often attracting foreign Mercenary Teams or merchant teams with good products and without incidents of robbery; that’s why they thought of doing business there.
With these thoughts, their nervousness eased a little.
"Gentlemen, is there something you needed from me?" Marion, the spicy noodle stall owner, cautiously asked.
It so happened that he was also one of the initiators among all the vendors; since he led them here, naturally, he had to step forward.
"We just wanted to ask if the products you’re selling have a recipe? Is the recipe for sale? If you sell it to our territory, we’re willing to give you a place in our territory. In the future, you’d also share the profits from these delicacies," Damien, the Mayor of Sorrel Town, inquired as a representative.
Their decision was, of course, backed by their confidence.
Also, compared to the benefits acquired, these few spots really counted for nothing.
Now it depends on these people’s choices. Given such significant "entitlements," they should agree, right?
It must be said, Damien and his group really knew how to grasp the thoughts of ordinary people like Marion.
When Marion and his group heard it, they all felt their hearts skip a beat.
They were truly tempted; this was virtually a step up to heaven.
After all, as ordinary mercenaries, rising above their current class was extremely difficult.
But now, a great opportunity was right before them!
However, after their hearts raced, they began to cool down as they faced reality.
Especially Marion.
He was very clear about one thing: the "recipe" they were interested in wasn’t in their possession.
Thinking it over, Marion’s face showed a hint of apology, "I’m sorry, it’s not that we are unwilling, but we really don’t know those recipes."
"How do you not know?" Damien blurted out instinctively.
"These we learned from Hope Village. Hope Village taught us the process, and we only need to buy the specific ingredients from Hope Village to make them," Marion replied directly, "My stall cart was bought from Hope Village. Their territory’s Wood Workshop produced these kinds of stall carts, convenient for small business people like us." Marion said this, feeling very grateful to Hope Village.
Because these items were very affordable, making them easy to acquire.
Upon hearing Marion, Damien and his group couldn’t help but exchange glances.
"Where is Hope Village? How do you get there? Are there many people doing business like Hope Village?" Damien asked several questions in one breath.
If it was just a single business, it would still be manageable, but involving an entire territory made it not so simple!
Moreover, according to Marion, the business at Hope Village might have already fully expanded.
"Hope Village is quite far from here; it takes several days to get there! But because Hope Village has opened a special vacation task, any mercenary can go to Hope Village via the Task Center. That’s how we went to Hope Village. It’s really nice there; there are countless delicacies, and the taste of each one is fantastic. Though we also learned how to make them, the taste still differs from theirs... In our territory, many are doing this business, not to mention other territories, definitely numerous. Hope Village holds the method of making the ingredients, so they truly don’t mind us doing this business. Many people, as long as they have a little money, will buy something from Hope Village to resell. Even at two or three times the price, it’s still very popular..." Marion explained bit by bit, revealing the basic situation of Hope Village.
