Watching the two whisper together and Zhou Bai's utterly defeated expression afterwards, Diana shook her head helplessly.
This territory, including the Lord himself, knew too little about Stan Continent, which is why they were so shocked—and, of course, revealed some things.
But she didn't care. Being summoned by this territory meant, to some degree, that they were bound to it. If they wanted to live normal lives outside, they could only hope the territory got better and better.
As for these oddities, she'd just pretend not to know anything!
Thinking this, Diana took the initiative and said: "Every time the weather changes, the resources and Demon Beasts you can gather nearby will also change. For instance, the Wind and Rain Orchid and bamboo strips I need can only be found during heavy rain. At the same time, you'll encounter Demon Beasts strong in water. Likewise, items like Mint Leaves and Eucalyptus Resin only appear during droughts—and you'll run into Fire-type Demon Beasts. It's the same principle."
"What kinds of water-type Demon Beasts are there, and what about fire-type Demon Beasts?" Zhou Bai quickly asked, seeing Diana explain so proactively.
"I'm not too sure about all that—there are too many kinds of Demon Beasts, and different regions have their own." Diana replied, "Plus, I'm a tailor, so I rarely leave the territory. Most of what I care about is materials, and what I know is mostly second-hand from others. It's been so long, I worry that I might mislead you if I say the wrong thing. Demon Beasts appear based on the strength of the territory anyway, so in your territory's current state, it won't be too difficult. No need to worry."
"Thank you." Zhou Bai said.
She also realized she was too anxious just now.
"...It's nothing." Diana paused, then replied, looking deep into Zhou Bai's eyes, where a hint of something strange flickered.
"Let me grab the materials for you first. I'll bring them over soon." Zhou Bai continued. She could sense clearly—when she said she could get materials, Diana was obviously surprised.
Maybe, the Doomsday game system had given her, the Lord, a Mall that other Lords in this world didn't have. She'd better keep that hidden.
Diana nodded, then, as if recalling something, added, "Oh, right—if you want to build new buildings next, try building a Warehouse. The territory's Warehouse can connect with other territory buildings, and once you authorize it, we can access it freely. It'll keep records too. It'll make things much easier and store a lot more."
"So before the Warehouse is built, if I have too many supplies, where can I put them?" Zhou Bai immediately asked. Her backpack was getting full, about to overflow, and she didn't have a solution yet—now was the perfect time to ask.
"Any territory building can store things, but food stored outside the backpack tends to go bad." Diana looked at Zhou Bai in surprise—nearly 20 slots, 999 items per slot, and she was about to fill them up.
This Lord's purse is seriously loaded!
"Mm."
Having gotten her answers, Zhou Bai went straight to the Lord Mansion, checked and confirmed that the second floor could store supplies, and stored wood, Stone, and other materials there. Then she started buying materials from the System Store.

...
This batch of materials was noticeably more expensive, but since she needed to stock up, Zhou Bai didn't care. After buying everything Diana needed and posting a notice about it on the Lord Mansion's bulletin board, Zhou Bai headed to the tailor shop again to hand over the materials to Diana.
At the moment Diana saw the materials, she was clearly excited—touching this and that, she rushed, "I'll start sewing right away."
After becoming Undead, it really had been ages since she'd seen so many materials.
"Then we won't bother you."
With that, Zhou Bai and Ding Qiurou left first, and when they glanced back, they saw Diana already hard at work.
The more people like her, the better!
