Chapter 197: Will You Be My Girlfriend?
Chapter 197: Will You Be My Girlfriend?
The successful cultivation of the twin sunflowers put Su Yu in a great mood!
In the central square of Aupsi Village, Su Yu, in front of 343 villagers, 507 guild players, and 1,000 temporary workers, lavishly praised Dave.
"Dave, here are 100,000 Psychic Coins as a reward for you! I hope you continue to work hard and cultivate even more high-quality sunflowers."
Su Yu smiled as he handed a silver mana crystal card to Dave.
"Thank you, Lord." Dave took the mana crystal card in a daze, feeling as if he were in a dream.
A month ago, he was struggling to make ends meet, and now the bonus he received could buy him a house in Oran City? This change was really significant.
Behind Dave, the female player "Winter Scent" gently tugged at his sleeve.
Dave snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, "Oh, Lord, I have something to say."
"Go ahead."
"‘Winter Scent,’ ‘Mermaid,’ and a few others have been working on a concept for a mushroom that can produce sunlight at night, called the Sun Mushroom. It's just an idea right now, and we're not sure if it's feasible."
"Go ahead and give it a shot, resources are plentiful!" Su Yu patted Dave on the shoulder. "If you succeed, I'll give you a 200,000 Psychic Coins bonus. You'll get 100,000, and the rest will be evenly divided among those who assisted you."
"Thank you, President!" The players assisting Dave were overjoyed.
They would be splitting 100,000.00 Psychic Coins among 12 people! The thought of it filled them with enthusiasm.
The other guild members and temporary workers watched them with envy and jealousy.
They were really a bunch of lucky bastards, managing to land such a rewarding job.
Su Yu cleared his throat and raised his hand to draw everyone's attention.
Once everyone's focus was on him, he said slowly, "I called everyone here today to discuss the three major issues our territory is facing: the first issue is refugees."
Su Yu repeated the "three major issues" he had discussed with the Winged Dragon.
After outlining the three issues, he continued, "This is the most critical time for our territory, and also the most challenging time for everyone. Therefore, during this period, everyone's salary will be doubled! I hope no one will let us down at this crucial moment."
"Double the salary?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Especially the temporary workers, who had been attracted by Su Yu's high salary offer in the first place, now to hear it would be doubled? This was too good to be true!
"President Su is awesome!"
"President, you're the best!"
"We'll definitely do our best!"
"Guaranteed not to let you down!"
The cheers on the square were deafening.
"Alright, everyone, back to work!"
With a wave of his hand, Su Yu officially kicked off the territory development campaign.
Half an hour later, at the refugee reception area on the western side of Aupsi Village.
Twelve large pots were set up, boiling with meat broth, the aroma wafting for miles.
Guild recruitment team players and temporary workers were busy here, some cooking the broth, some preparing clothes for the refugees, and others registering the refugees in the population records.
The little Sky Dragon girl had nothing to do and was riding her howling moon wolf, "Shirley," dangling a piece of meat from a branch to play with it.
Near the recruitment team, a formally dressed green-skinned goblin was directing the porters to transport supplies: "Faster, my friends! Time is money!"
"Vina, come over here for a moment." Su Yu stood on a small hill behind the recruitment team and waved at the goblin.
This goblin, of course, was Vina Blackgold.
Hearing Su Yu's call, he immediately ran over, "Boss Su, what do you need?"
Vina Blackgold had been saved by Su Yu, and his "loyalty" had remained at 100, making him Su Yu's most loyal employee.
"How’s the supply chain within the territory?" Su Yu asked.
"Relax, Lord Counterstar. The supplies are flowing smoothly, with no issues at all," Vena Blackgold replied proudly. "We’ve already purchased all the necessary supplies for the refugees, such as clothing, blankets, and salt, and they’ve been loaded onto ships in Oran City. The first batch of supplies has already arrived in our territory."
"Moreover, I’ve negotiated with the sellers for the weapons, armor, and arrows you requested. The goods will arrive in Oran City this afternoon."
"Excellent!" Su Yu was very satisfied with Vena Blackgold’s work. He truly was an epic-level talent.
"Vena, I have another task for you."
"Please, go on."
"Take this to the mayor’s office in Oran City and show it to Mayor Claude."
Su Yu took out the princess’s token from his backpack and handed it to Vena Blackgold. "Tell him that our territory has been invaded by monsters and we need a five-hundred-strong elite force to help us."
What Su Yu feared most was that the final waves of the monster attacks would breach their defenses. He was starting to think about how to leverage NPC resources.
He added, "Oh, and don’t forget to bring gifts. I’m giving you 200,000 psychic coins to smooth things over."
Vena Blackgold took the token and the magic crystal card Su Yu handed him. He realized how important this task was and his expression turned serious. "Lord Counterstar, I will complete this mission successfully."
"Go ahead!" Su Yu patted his shoulder.
...
Not long after Vena Blackgold left, a rustling sound came from the western forest.
"Are the refugees arriving?" Sky Dragon, riding on Sherry, came to Su Yu’s side and jumped off the howling moon wolf.
"Probably. Let’s go check it out."
Su Yu took Sky Dragon’s small hand and walked toward the source of the sound.
In the forest, dozens of refugees emerged, drawn by the aroma of meat.
Seeing the large pot full of meat, the refugees were almost overwhelmed by their hunger, swallowing saliva continuously.
"Is this Auphi Village?"
"We saw the recruitment notice in the city and hurried over."
Seeing Su Yu, the refugees asked.
"Yes, this is Auphi Village. I am Lord Counterstar of this territory," Su Yu introduced himself.
"Since you’ve chosen my territory, you’re now part of our family. First, come and have a bowl of meat soup to fill your bellies. Everyone gets a share! After drinking the soup, you can go over there to get clothes, also for everyone."
The refugees couldn’t believe their eyes. Meat soup was one thing, but clothes too?
In other territories, they might not even get a piece of black bread!
"Thank you, Lord!"
Grateful, the refugees knelt down to pledge their loyalty to Su Yu, significantly boosting their loyalty.
At the same time, Su Yu received a system notification:
"Ding, your territory [Auphi Village] has gained 236 refugees. Among them, 42 are of common quality, and 3 are of excellent quality."
"Hmm, having Little Sky around really works wonders!"
Su Yu was very satisfied with the number of talents he had gained!
Currently, [Auphi Village] is a medium-sized village, with a 12% chance of common quality talents and a 0.24% chance of excellent quality talents among the refugees.
With Little Sky around, not only did the number of common talents increase, but he even got three excellent talents. Truly, she was a lucky charm!
"Little Sky, you really do make a difference!" Su Yu praised.
"Hehe, how about a reward?" the little girl blinked her eyes.
"Reward? What do you want?" Su Yu was a bit puzzled. The little girl didn’t lack money, did she?
"Once I turn 18, will you be my boyfriend?" Sky Dragon suddenly said seriously.
Su Yu: "..."
