I don’t know what’s going on with so much excitement outside. Could it be that someone is coming to cause trouble in our territory? The Eternal King City has just fallen into our hands, and NPC guards haven’t had time to recruit yet. This kind of thing is really possible.
Thinking of this, I immediately put away the city management panel and walked out of the city main hall. I was stunned by the sight in front of me.
I saw more than fifty people standing on the steps of the city main hall, all NPCs from Lingyun City, blacksmiths, tailors, repairmen, craftsmen, miners... They are all talents we are in urgent need of now.
, there is no shortage of them in various professions.
And among this group of NPCs, there is one person I am very familiar with—Jon En, the direct disciple of the owner of Lingyun City Pharmacy.
Jon seemed very silent in front of a group of adults. After seeing me, his eyes suddenly brightened, but he did not immediately come forward to talk to me, but his eyes had already told me that he had a lot to say to me at this time.
explain.
"Masters, what are you doing?" I, the monk Zhang Er, was confused.
"I found them all from Lingyun City." Leah appeared beside me at some point. She pointed at Jon and continued: "Of course, besides him, I originally wanted to find a pharmacist with a higher level.
, but this little guy insisted on coming, so I reluctantly agreed. If you have no objections after reading it, we will officially hire them as shopkeepers and chief technicians of various stores in the Eternal King City."
I was immediately speechless: "But, I haven't had time to collect enough gold coins, how can we hire them?"
Moreover, what I am more worried about is that if we poach the corner of Lingyun City like this, will old Jason have a bad impression on us? I know several of these people who are the bosses of NPC shops in Lingyun City.
Shopkeeper, if you poach them all, wouldn't it definitely affect the various businesses in Lingyun City?
Leah smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have already agreed with them in advance that the salary will be doubled if they come to work with us, but they will have to pay it back for a period of time first, and they all agreed."
"By the way, there's also that little guy. He doesn't get paid and serves us for free. I can't refuse the offer."
I can guess that Jon came here to repay his kindness, and Speed will continue to pay him wages when he works here. There is no need to worry about this, but it is definitely Leah's credit for the others to come. No surprise.
If so, Beauty Lia should have graduated from Dalanxiang, right? If you are good at excavator skills, you can dig people even if you don’t have money.
Then Leah gave me a bill, which was the remuneration data she had promised to each of those NPCs. I quickly browsed through it. For someone like me who is used to seeing a lot of gold coins, it was basically acceptable.
range, so I left them all with a wave of my hand!
After all, we are poaching people directly from other places, and the treatment must be improved accordingly before people will be willing to come. Moreover, I have not thought about making money from these functional stores. In the future, the income generated by the guild territory will mainly come from the territory’s virtual
Due to commercial development, the value of gold coins is too fast. It is simply unrealistic to rely on supplies, repairs and other projects to make money and provide benefits to guild members. It would be good to be able to afford the territory's expensive daily taxes.
With the addition of more than 20 NPCs, we have propped up the facades of various functional shops in the territory, and our territory finally has the appearance of a city. Next, we will find a way to recruit a group of NPC mercenaries to act as guards.
Responsible for maintaining law and order in the castle, so that the Eternal King City will be perfect.
The job of recruiting mercenaries is still entrusted to Leah. She has more experience than me in this aspect. I mainly focus on the construction of the castle. Everyone performs their duties and shows their strengths, so that the Eternal King City can quickly develop into a fast-growing city.
The fast lane of development.
Then, I spent some time on the charging conditions for players to repair and purchase supplies in the territory. Players in the main alliance and branch alliances of this guild will receive a 40% discount. Xiaolong also has a 40% discount. All members of Tian Mengjie’s Wolf Lair Guild will receive a 40% discount.
20% off, and 82% off for those who kill gods. These are conditions that have been negotiated with them in advance and cannot be broken easily.
As for our sworn enemies such as the War Emperor's Palace and Lingyan Pavilion, the repair and purchase of supplies are also punitive charges that are 1.5 times higher than those of ordinary players. Again, it is better not to come if love comes. Icefield of Despair,
The Northern Mountains and the Endless Sea are the best leveling areas at this stage. If they are unwilling to endure the high fees of the Eternal King City and would rather spend a lot of time walking there, or even directly abandon these leveling areas, it will definitely affect the guild's quality.
An improvement in average level, isn’t that what I want to see?
After finishing this work, I opened the territory's income and expenditure list to check the income of various resources. It took less than half an hour to set the teleportation fee, and I had already earned several thousand gold coins in teleportation fees. This was still in the middle of the night when players were online.
During the period with the lowest rate, if it were replaced by the peak period during the day when players are online, this number could at least increase dozens of times. It should not be a problem just to send an income of several million gold coins a day, and it should be almost the same to pay territory taxes.
.
However, I then discovered that in addition to the income from gold coins, the output of the four major materials required for territory construction, ore, wood, stone and food, was still zero. What is going on? Haven't we already recruited a group of miners?
Are you a lumberjack or a mason? There should be some family members who settled in the Eternal King City with them who are willing to farm. Why is the income from the four major resources still zero?
I was about to go out and grab an NPC to ask why I haven't started working yet, but I suddenly found that there was a small line of text description behind the various resource production data, which reminded me of the actual number of corresponding resource production areas currently occupied by the territory. Click
At a glance, the territory actually currently occupies zero mines, zero quarries, zero logging sites, and zero rice fields...
How can we start production activities when there is nothing? In the end, this is all my fault.
However, I don’t know the specific locations of various resource production areas. If I go out and search aimlessly, it will be a waste of time, and I may not be able to find it. I want to find Leah to ask, but I don’t know when she will be there again.
He has gone out and is not in the city at all.
Suddenly, I had an idea, why not ask those NPCs? Although they may not have come to such far away places to engage in production, after all, they have always been eating this kind of food. They probably have their own unique ideas on how to find relevant resource production areas.
Dharma door.
The first thing I went to look for was the miner's uncle Grant, but from a distance I saw Uncle Grant sitting alone on the threshold smoking a cigarette with a sad expression on his face, obviously having something on his mind.
"Uncle Grant, why are you unhappy? I wonder if I can help you?" I immediately stepped forward to say hello.
After hearing this, Uncle Glenn raised his head and saw that it was me. He immediately stood up and saluted me with a very respectful expression: "It turns out to be the Deputy City Lord. That's it. Just now I took the tools and went out to mine. As a result, the nearby mine
But it was occupied by a group of hateful little thieves. Not only did the mine fail to be mined, but they were almost injured. These little thieves are really hateful. It would be great if someone could step forward and drive them away."
It turns out that's the case. No wonder the territory's production still hasn't started in time after recruiting so many NPCs. I guess the situation encountered by other production NPCs is similar to Uncle Glenn.
I immediately slapped my chest and said, "It turns out it's such a small thing. Uncle, tell me the coordinates of the mine, and I'll go and drive them away now."
Uncle Grant was immediately shocked: "No, Deputy City Lord, how dare I bother you to do it yourself."
I said carelessly: "There is nothing I can do. All the brothers have gone home to take care of their wives. Now I am the only one in the city. If I don't come forward in person, will I have to wait until tomorrow? The production in the territory cannot be stopped."
Uncle Grant was finally persuaded by me, "Okay, then I'll help you, the deputy city lord."
"Ding~!"
System prompts: You accept the territory task [Cleaning the Mine]. The task content is to accept the commission from the miner Uncle Glenn to drive away the bullies in a mine in the southwest of the territory and restore the production of the mine. After completing the task, you will receive rich rewards.
of rewards.
After the mission was obtained, the system automatically prompted the coordinates of the target mine. From the big map, the mine was only fifteen minutes away from the Eternal King City at most. According to the regional classification, it should indeed belong to us, but now it has been occupied by others.
, now I want to take it back as a matter of course.
After leaving Uncle Glenn's new home, I did not immediately go out of the city to recover the mine. I continued to visit several other production NPCs and accepted the tasks of clearing the quarry, lumber camp and rice field from them.
The distance between several resource-producing areas is not too far, so we just happened to complete four tasks together on the way, which can save a lot of time.
Yellow Sheep is very fast. After a while, I found the mine according to the task prompts. I saw a large number of hard workers holding mining hoes scattered around the open-air mine and digging randomly. They dug up a good mine.
It was riddled with holes and looked absolutely miserable.
I was immediately furious, pulled out Shuangyu's spear from behind with a swipe, and shouted: "Everyone, listen, you have to get out of this mine within half a minute, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
The next moment, all the hard workers who were busy stopped their work, stood up and looked at me, and then took action one after another - not to get out of the mine immediately, but to wave the mining hoe in their hands as a weapon and attack me at the same time.
Come and kill.
ps: Happy National Day everyone, there will be another chapter in the afternoon
