Chapter 54 Earn money to support your family, players!
Hearing this question, Salvatore's expression was a little subtle.
"How should I put it... Well, at least your guards are quite capable..."
Seeing that Salvatore was hesitant, Annan suddenly felt uneasy.
Those huskies won't start to tear down the house too, right?
When you go out to demolish other people’s homes, is your own home also demolished?
Kazakhstan cycle?
He couldn't help but ask: "What happened? Or did they get into some trouble?"
"No, that's not the case. They are even helping people everywhere in the city. Now the entire Frozen Water Port knows that their new lord has arrived."
Having said this, Salvatore added: "Of course, they did their job very well, they did not give up their guard work, and even helped patrol the city.
"And they are very loyal to you. Even if you asked some people to go to Roseburg to cause sabotage before, such a dangerous mission did not make the guards who stayed in the city feel dissatisfied with you. They even wanted to go to Fort Ross.
Go to Roseburg to help, 'because the mission there is more important' - yes, that's what they told me.
Salvatore recalled the actions of the players, as if they were no longer sleepy, and his whole body became obviously energetic: "I don't know where you found such a good and strange guard... Before you
During the two days when you entered the nightmare, many people came to see you every day.
"I can see that they are definitely not saying good things about you, nor are they trying to show off, or are they flattering you just for the sake of wealth and power. They sincerely hope that you can give them
A more dangerous mission, but I sincerely hope that you will be safe and sound."
……Yes I know.
Because they definitely want more fun and exciting missions. They are also definitely very concerned about the safety of their current only camp leader...
Annan responded with silence, unable even to explain to Salvatore.
They don't love me at all, they just covet the favorability points I send them!
"In that case," Annan was a little confused, "Why did you look so troubled just now?"
"Because they... are a little too diligent. They are quite diligent and very friendly to the townspeople."
When the young wizard who always looked sleepy talked about this issue, he became energetic and kept talking: "I tell you, some of them even plan to go to work! And it's not like guarding or teaching swordsmanship.
Instead of doing jobs like pruning flowers and branches, even sweeping floors, guarding tombs, etc.!
"Some people even went to the militia group to ask for sword skills. At that time, the militia group thought they were here to cause trouble, and there was chaos... Later I found out that they really came to ask for sword skills. But your guards are all so good at swordsmanship, obviously
They all had at least five years of military swordsmanship training, and the result was that the militiamen were beaten miserably.
"The other townspeople were scared to death at first. They thought you were trying to seize their property or take away their jobs, so they sent guards to extort money... There were even people who wanted to give them money.
Money was stuffed, and there was almost a fight in some places. It was me who went over to mediate and explained the matter clearly, and finally calmed them down.
"I asked your guards why you did this. Then they said... They left their hometowns and came here to earn more money-until I told them that you would pay them wages.
Some people have given up the idea of finding a job and are keeping a peaceful guard around the house."
Salvatore said with a strange expression: "They also said... they must earn more money, because 'there may be somewhere to spend money at any time.' But I have been here for several years and I don't know about this freezing water."
Where can I spend money in Hong Kong..."
"That's it..."
Annan was silent for a moment, then murmured in response.
Wait, do I still have to pay them wages?
You bastard, don’t remind them...and don’t remind me about this! These players didn’t even realize they had wages before!
Annan was very sad.
Players are used to being exploited. The fact that this game does not require krypton gold and is permanently free is enough for them. They dare not even think about being able to pay wages...
Hopefully they didn't take Salvatore's word for it...
Just as Annan thought, Salvatore with messy hair continued:
"But even after knowing this, many of them decided to go out to find jobs, some even planned to go hunting in the mountains, and some wanted to join a fleet to go fishing.
"They even want me to keep it a secret from you - but if you think about it, I will never keep such a big thing a secret from you. After all, they are your guards. How can those people pay them? If they are tired,
What if you get hurt? What if they do something random in your name? What if they deceive people in your name?"
Salvatore had a complicated expression and looked at Annan with subtle eyes: "It's true that nothing happened now, but I still have to tell you about it. From their skin and face, they should have good backgrounds, right?
Why are all of them..."
...are you so poor?
Although Salvatore didn't say anything in the second half, Annan already knew what he wanted to say.
This is normal. It is still very common for players to start farming for economic purposes. Especially when the other half of the players are performing dangerous infiltration and assassination missions, the half they stay in the city will naturally take the initiative to help with logistics.
question.
For example... make money.
But Annan breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not a big problem. As long as the players don't tear down their homes, it's all a good thing.
It's normal to look for jobs everywhere, it's normal to test whether you can change your career, and it's normal to learn new skills. It's even more normal to want to work and make money... They don't steal, but know how to work, and Annan is even very happy.
But, as for the salary...
Annan was very troubled by this issue.
Because he really has no money now.
It doesn't cost money, it costs a life.
Fortunately, he was on the safe side and laid the groundwork with the players on the main quest, which resulted in a miserable sale.
Annan is now seriously thinking about whether to have a showdown with the players.
Just say that you have no money now and no money to pay your salary. Then when you pay your salary every month, you will directly pay your favor.
...Or, you can also let players make money to you, and you can pay them a small amount of favor every month. At least make a transition during the closed beta period...As a nobleman without a penny, big troubles may occur.
.
But this seems a bit like a group of licking dogs, handing over funds on time... It sounds very cruel, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense——
Anyway, Annan's favor is equivalent to binding points, so isn't this equivalent to a monthly card?
Have you never seen a monthly card?!
Isn’t it normal to have fixed krypton gold every month?!
And this isn’t money, it’s just a matter of time... What’s wrong!
The more Annan thought about it, the more confident he felt. He quickly convinced himself.
It was a happy decision, just let the players come back on time to pay their wages. Anyway, both of my identities are nobles, and I also know Padre Luis and Salvatore, a wizard who seems to have a lot of status.
If you want to buy something, the price and quality here in Annan will definitely be much better than if you buy it yourself.
This price difference can also be used as a krypton point to recover your favor.
Well, I'll make some adjustments in the background then.
Then you can tell them openly, I am very cute, please give me money——
"Oh yes, there is one more thing."
Salvatore suddenly said: "Your guards did not know where they received the information...
"It is said that the people you sent to Fort Ross discovered something major that must be reported directly to you."
