Today is Tuesday, and the entire Luzhou Fortress is in a carnival. People are walking on the road, everyone is beaming with joy, and the still dark sky seems to be dyed with a hint of joy.

Because the owner of the castle, Principal Wang, had just used a loudspeaker to directly announce to the whole castle that due to the elimination of the mutated wasp swarms entrenched around the castle, the amount of land to be cultivated next year could be increased by 50%.

And in order to let everyone have a good year, the basic salary of all castle employment positions will be increased by 30%! It will be implemented starting from this month.

This is very generous!

A 30% increase in wages will still benefit most positions, which means that food expenditures will be 30% higher.

This meant that the food reserves would be greatly depleted, so some people couldn't help but go to his office to complain.

"Principal, this winter's unusual tide, I heard from some radio stations that we in the north may usher in a larger scale. By then, the closure time will be very long, and a large number of greenhouses outside the city will not be able to operate normally. Our

The food stored may not be enough to eat. If you just announce it without discussing it with us, it will easily cause problems."

Although it is the end of the world, human agricultural technology has not been lost. If it were not for greenhouse technology, when the sunlight weakens, the harvest of many crops will not be maintained at the previous level. Because of greenhouse technology, it can also be done in autumn and winter.

Planting high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes allows ordinary people to maintain food and clothing.

Principal Wang laughed "haha": "Don't worry, Mr. Chen and the others rushed back early in the morning. They have already told me that in this seven-fort exchange competition, our castle won the first place. With the manpower and material support from Jihe Fort,

It will be richer than ever!”

"I see, principal, this is a double happiness, no, it is a triple happiness! Kill the demon bees, take the first place, and don't worry about the winter tide. This is a sign of the prosperity of our Luzhou Fort!" The man immediately changed his tone.

.

"Hahaha, this is the result of your persistence. Although it is a little more difficult now, we finally have a foothold. As long as we persist, there is hope. We must not give up. Sooner or later, we will see the day when the sun shines on the world again.

"Principal Wang encouraged everyone.

…………

At this time, Mr. Chen, Director Xu, Wang Minghai and others, who hurried back, brought about 20 students to meet Shen Rui in the lecture theater.

"Xiao Shen, you are really thoughtful!" Mr. Chen couldn't help but feel proud, as if his younger generation had great potential, and patted him on the shoulder repeatedly, "Just now, I won the first place in the Seven Castles Exchange Meeting just because of you.

, you turned around and traveled thousands of miles away to hire reinforcements to eliminate our serious trouble. This old man like me doesn’t even know how to evaluate such a great achievement!"

He was deeply pleased with his vision at this time. If he hadn't sincerely cultivated him, how could the other party take the castle's affairs to heart and invite troops to eliminate the enemy that had been troubled for many years?

With the foundation of their castle, without Shen Rui's help, it's not that they couldn't afford the help of the Sparrow leader, but the cost would be too high and it would take several years to empty out all their savings.

Not to mention other things, including the cost of traveling alone, 6,000 sparrows migrate thousands of kilometers. We cannot expect them to fly here on their own, so what kind of transportation must be used?

Ordinary airplanes cannot fly at high altitudes, as they may be attacked by strange birds. Helicopters have a limited range and cannot fly so far to carry cargo.

In the end, we can only rely on horse-drawn carriages and cars for transportation. The thought of thousands of kilometers of strange attacks on the road makes our scalp numb.

This is the reason why sparrow leaders can only dominate the local area and cannot spread quickly. Even with human cooperation, they can only spread from castle to castle. By the time they spread to Province L, it will take at least three to five years, and even more. A smooth situation.

"Yes, the appearance of classmate Shen Rui is really lucky for our castle." Director Xu's eyes were moist. Fortunately, he was kept here. Otherwise, it would have been hard to train him, but in the end it was easier for others?

All the students, whether they were seniors in the third and second grades of high school, or classmates in the first year of high school, all looked at Shen Rui with envy.

Being able to receive such high praise means that Shen Rui has begun to transform from huge potential to actual strength.

Among other things, the group of sparrows outside the city that covered the sky and the sun in a rigorous array was one of his strengths.

And they are still just potential.

"Okay, you guys go out and do your work first. Xiao Shen and I will have a few words alone." Mr. Chen continued.

"Well, Mr. Chen, you are busy." Director Xu immediately left with the others. They had to go out to arrange a celebration party. This time, the scale of the celebration party was the entire fortress.

"Xiao Shen, about the team aura, did you never cancel mine after conquering the alien wolves last time?" Mr. Chen asked directly after everyone left.

Shen Rui nodded.

"This is not good. I am an old man who teaches people in the castle every day. What kind of protective aura do I need? What a waste. I didn't know the true value of this thing before. But these days in Jihe Castle, I have really understood it. Just one day's quota can be sold for 3,000." Mr. Chen shook his head repeatedly.

Shen Rui was moved for a while. If it were anyone else, he would not mention it at all. Only the kind-hearted Mr. Chen would take the initiative to let him lift the halo.

He quickly persuaded: "Actually, the price is not calculated like this. It was sold for 3,000 in the beginning. Some people had urgent needs, and it couldn't last long. Now if you want to do regular business, you must lower the price. Many people buy on a monthly basis. It's in exchange for materials, and the price is not that high."

This is the difference between urgent needs and regular transactions. The price of food during lean times is completely different from the price of food during normal times.

If a person wants to go to a dangerous battlefield temporarily, he will definitely be willing to pay a high price to buy it, but such cases are certainly rare and the transaction is unstable.

People who are willing to buy long-term quotas will be in a safe state most of the time. If the price is 3,000 a day, no one can afford it.

However, Shen Rui has urgent daily needs for various cultivation materials. In this case, long-term cooperation between the two parties at a relatively cheap price has become inevitable.

Just like the deal he reached with Jihe Fort, of the 20 long-term quotas, 10 quotas are calculated based on the monthly fixed supply of training materials, and the other 10 quotas are exchanged for the security expenses of 10 fifth-level masters.

Mr. Chen still shook his head and said: "No, no, you should cancel the halo of the team like me, an old man. Even if it is not that expensive, the number of places you can support is limited. It is better to save it and leave it to other people who need it more. Just like Mo Captain, Captain Chen and other generals who face risks all year round must take the lead."

Shen Rui looked at the other party's old face with mixed emotions.

Some people may say that Mr. Chen is stupid, but it is precisely because of such stupid people that we can have the cornerstone of the castle today. Why do people always say that "there must be a backbone"? The most important quality of the backbone is "public heart".

With them here, everyone doesn't have to worry about being at a disadvantage and has the confidence to work together.

He nodded immediately and then silently dismissed Mr. Chen from the team.

He had done this countless times before, but never once had it been so slow.

"Well, I feel a lot worse after leaving the team, but this is normal," Mr. Chen smiled, very pleased, "By the way, since Jihe Fort purchased 20 long-term haloes from you, we will serve as your mother fort. , not so generous, but to occupy your halo quota, I have to buy it from you. Lao Wang, Lao Xu, and Captain Chen cannot use it in vain."

"You needed to add them to the team because you were on the field before, but you were too embarrassed to dismiss them directly afterwards. I know all these things."

Shen Rui had nothing to say, as these things could not escape Mr. Chen's eyes.

In fact, as the other party said, he still needs to rely on the protection of this castle platform. Naturally, it is not easy for him to finish the work after the other party joins and then immediately dismiss the other party.

This is not easy on his face. After all, he does not live in a vacuum. He has to get along with these people every day and meet them from time to time. The two parties are not simply a business relationship.

"Okay, just let me come forward in this matter. After all, you are still young. Take your time with these things. Sometimes, you have to deal with things in a business-like manner. Otherwise, most people will be fine. Some people will just stick to it and won't let it go." Mr. Chen spoke seriously about his life experience.
