For the rest of the journey, several Mercenary Teams moved together with Zhou Zhengping's group.
On the road, they did encounter quite a few teams of all sizes.
These teams, seeing the goblins in the group, were definitely tempted, but seeing Zhou Zhengping's group was so large, any plans they had were quickly suppressed.
But after some back and forth, they all found out that Hope Village treated goblins as Residents.
"Does Hope Village really lack people this much? Even goblin slaves are needed."
"Exactly! Buying goblin slaves, you might as well buy some Human slaves or Beastman slaves, that would be way more useful!"
"Probably value the goblin's mining ability."
"But you just need to buy them as slaves, why bother giving them Resident Identity?"
"I don't think it matters much! How Hope Village chooses is their business."
"How is it not related? Those goblins will take jobs. Cement Factory, Advanced Alchemy Workshop—those are good places. Why should they get the positions?"
