Chapter 130: Starting to Pour Money into the Territory
Chapter 130: Starting to Pour Money into the Territory
Su Yu organized all the knowledge he had about territory construction and sent it to Quetzalcoatl via private message. He also made a copy and forwarded it to Snow Leopard, who was on his way here.
Half an hour ago, Su Yu had informed Snow Leopard about the territory construction. Snow Leopard had promised to bring 500 guild members to help. However, Su Yu didn't plan to rely on Snow Leopard's guild members forever. Over the next few days, he intended to recruit a large number of people for his own guild, and then use his guild members for construction. This would make the accounting much simpler.
Snow Leopard received the message. After reading it, he replied weakly, "Senior, shouldn't we focus our main efforts on leveling up? Why are you spending so much energy on territory construction?"
Su Yu thought for a moment and decided it was time to tell him the truth. He replied, "All of this is because of a building called the Mage Tower, which you druids call the Emerald Dream Gateway."
Su Yu explained the functions of the Mage Tower and the difficulty of gaining experience in the later stages of the game to Snow Leopard.
After receiving the message, Snow Leopard was stunned. He reined in his mount and stopped, frowning deeply.
He knew the game couldn't let every player have world-destroying abilities, but he hadn't expected the situation in the later stages to be so dire. Most players wouldn't even have a way to gain experience and would have to rely on the Sunflower for minimal experience gains.
"Old Zhong, what's wrong?" Range is Truth stopped his mount and turned around.
The 500 guild members following them also stopped and turned to look at their guild leader after passing Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard didn't respond, his brows furrowed deeply, and his face was terrifying.
After a while, he took a deep breath, and his frown eased. He replied via private message, "Senior, since the territory is so important, we will do our utmost to help you build it!"
Then, he sent a private message to Range is Truth, "Old Li, after we return, we must do everything we can to find the two players who can trigger the main storyline of the rebel faction!"
...
Su Yu slowly walked to the center of the territory. In the center, there were only four thatched huts, with a field of crops in front of them. To the left of the thatched huts, four ragged farmers stood, shivering in the cold wind.
Seeing Su Yu, the farmers cautiously gathered around, bowing respectfully.
"Lord."
"Meeting Lord."
Su Yu scanned each of them, clearly seeing their attributes.

There were four farmers, two men and two women. They seemed to be afraid of Su Yu, standing far away, heads lowered, and not daring to speak or look up at him.
Su Yu smiled warmly and took out some pre-prepared roasted meat and cheese from his backpack, handing them over. "Don't be afraid of me. After I arrive, I will make sure everyone lives a good life!"
"Thank you, Lord!" The four farmers took the food Su Yu offered, overjoyed.
They usually ate roasted meat when they went hunting, but the meat Su Yu offered was seasoned with black pepper! Black pepper, a precious spice, was almost as valuable as gold of the same weight in the city! The Lord had actually rewarded them with such valuable food! Each farmer's eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Chime! Robert's Loyalty to You +25."
"Chime! Wendy's Loyalty to You +25."
"Loyalty +22."
Ding! [Jenny].
The loyalty of the four farmers increased by over twenty points each.
At this moment, the Dragonite arrived with the boatmen. Su Yu opened the chest the boatmen had carried over and distributed rough cloth clothing to the four farmers. He also inquired about their well-being.
The loyalty of the four farmers soared directly to 90 points!
The Snow Leopard and the main group of players hadn't arrived yet, so Su Yu took the opportunity to chat with the four farmers.
"Jenny, Wendy, you two are skilled in gathering. What exactly do you gather?"
Jenny nervously rubbed the hem of her clothes and replied, "My Lord, gathering includes picking wild fruits, farming, logging, collecting stones, and mining for gold. We can do all of these."
"Excellent!" Su Yu nodded in satisfaction. "A large group of interdimensional adventurers will be arriving soon. You two will direct them in logging. We need a lot of wood to build houses."
"Alright," Jenny and Wendy exchanged glances, clearly lacking confidence.
"Don't worry, just do your best," Su Yu encouraged. "If you work for me, I'll pay you 50 Psychic Coins per day. How does that sound?"
Normally, lords didn't have to pay NPCs to work. However, this was a crucial time for the settlement's development, and to boost their enthusiasm, Su Yu decided to use his generous payment strategy again.
"50 Psychic Coins? Thank you, My Lord!" Jenny and Wendy were overjoyed and quickly knelt to show their gratitude.
Previously, the total value of the food and game they sold each day barely reached 10 Psychic Coins. For the lord to offer such a generous reward!
Jenny and Wendy's loyalty shot up to the maximum 100 points.
Serving such a kind lord is truly wonderful!
Six minutes later, the Snow Leopard arrived with 500 guild members.
"President Ke, we're here!"
"President Ke, we're here to help!"
"Is this the player's initial settlement? It looks quite rundown."
"President Ke, we'll help turn this place into something even more beautiful than Orlan City!"
Su Yu waved to the players and smiled. "Thank you all for coming to help build my settlement! Those who have played through the campaigns with me before know that the benefits of working with me are always satisfactory!"
"This time is no different! Everyone who helps me build the settlement will earn 20 Psychic Coins per hour! If you need money in the future, feel free to come to my settlement for work, and the rewards will be even more generous!"
"20 Psychic Coins per hour?!"
"Isn't the exchange rate for Psychic Coins 1:3.3 in the outside world today?"
"66 yuan per hour? President Ke, you're really generous!"
The players were amazed.
Initially, the players had come with the mindset of participating in a guild activity, meeting the legendary President Ke, and witnessing the birth of the first player settlement. They had expected it to be volunteer work, but they hadn't anticipated such generosity from President Ke!
At 66 yuan per hour, working 8 hours a day would net them 528 yuan, and 15,000 yuan a month!
Thinking of this, many players were tempted, and some even considered staying to work long-term.
"President Ke, will the pay be this high if we come to work at your settlement in the future?"
"Of course, the pay will increase as Psychic Coins depreciate."
"President Ke, can I work here long-term?"
"Of course, you can."
"President Ke, can I bring friends along?"
"Sure, no problem."
Some players were jokingly teasing the Snow Leopard:
"Guild Master, the pay for working with President Ke is unreal. When will you improve the guild benefits?"
"Guild Master, I'm tempted. What if I want to leave the guild?"
"Me too. When will you improve the guild benefits to keep us?"
The Snow Leopard, with a dark face, waved his hand. "Enough! We just increased the benefits a few days ago. Don't be greedy! Let's get to work."
He looked at Su Yu. "Senior, what do you need me to do?"
"Simple, logging and building houses. Wendy, Jenny."
"Lord, we're here."
The two farmers stepped forward from behind Su Yu.
"You two will be in charge. Take the tools and start logging. Try to collect as much wood as possible."
"Understood, Lord!"
