Donghai officials rejected Chairman Huang’s request. President Huang organized a human wall outside the mission hall and shouted to every team entering and exiting: "For the benefit of all hunters, we will not accept missions or hand over missions."
The human wall blocked the doors of several shops next to the city hall. One grumpy boss endured it for two days and threw rotten tomatoes at the human wall. Before the boss got into a fight with the human wall, Hai Fengqiu very thoughtfully sent a security team to the human wall to protect their right to free assembly and freedom of speech.
"The number of teams that have come to the task hall to submit tasks in the past two weeks has been less than one-tenth of the previous number. Only two groups, Ji Nancheng and Hao Lang, have accepted the tasks." The person in charge of the task hall put down the form in his hand and continued: "Come and submit the tasks." The mission person said that the Hunter Guild is waiting for us to close the mission hall, and they have already prepared the mission system. After all, the benefits that the Hunter Guild strives for seem to be shared by all hunters. Most of the teams remain neutral. If they do not agree to their conditions, We become vampires, if we agree to their conditions, they will definitely take advantage of us."
Although it is difficult to ban the Hunter Guild, it is not impossible, but there is a free spirit that goes against the East China Sea. Although organizations like the Hunter Guild themselves are against the spirit of freedom, they are now using the slogan of uniting to fight for the interests of all free hunters. Even if many people can foresee the future of the Hunter Guild controlling free hunters, they will not stand at this time. Come out against the Hunter Guild. Huang not only has a big appetite, but also has a quick temper. Donghai was caught off guard this time. Haifengqiu tapped the edge of the table with a pencil, thinking about how to turn this situation around.
"We can calculate the points and grades for the free hunter team." Lin Yunlai grinned, "The same old thing, if you don't have enough points to reach the level, you won't be able to accept high-level tasks. In addition to money, high-level tasks can also give you some weapons and so on. of."
"Is it still necessary for this mission system to exist now?" Bai Zhi suddenly asked.
"No. The original mission of the mission system was to issue currency and stabilize prices. Now that the market has matured and currency has circulated, we have been paying money in this area. Now there is a defensive shield in the East China Sea, so we are not afraid of mutant animals attacking City, it doesn’t matter whether the free hunter gang helps or not. Our hunting team and security team can fully meet the meat needs of the Dragon Palace and the inner city. As for fur materials, there is no need to hoard them. After all, mutated animals are constantly upgrading, so hoard good things. After a long time, it will become tatters. We are already self-sufficient." Yue Dongting listed the reasons why Donghai is not needed one by one.
The hunting team leader said, "I guess their ultimate goal is to join the hunting team as a regular team. It has only been three months since I was transferred here, and people are asking me every few days, asking when the hunting team will recruit people. The man named Huang A branch leader even invited me to dinner to specifically ask about this matter."
"Does the hunting team need to recruit people?" Bai Zhi tilted her head to look at the captain.
"It does seem necessary. Our hunting team in Dragon Palace and Donghai only has 3,000 people in total. But I have to say for sure that it is not necessary." The captain smiled brightly, "Tonghui Camp is a treasure trove for boss upgrades. As long as we All the members of the hunting team are at level 30, and one of them can be worth twenty of those useless captains!"
"What the East China Sea really needs is the population growth brought about by their families." Haifengqiu put down his pencil and said with a smile, "What do you think, Bai Zhi?"
"Close the mission hall. The market will determine the price. Whatever we need in the future, we will buy it on the market and barter as much as possible." Bai Zhi smiled, "We have raised them for so long, and we just have the opportunity to let them go."
"What should I do if the small team survives?" The person in charge of the task hall looked at the leaders with embarrassment. The people who have been receiving tasks these days are small teams. If there are no tasks, they will lose a lot of income.
"Don't the Hunters Guild issue missions? If you go there and hand in the missions, it will empty out their liquidity. When President Huang can no longer survive and the small team cannot survive, we will open the acquisition again." Yue Dongting sneered. , "Two more food processing plants can be built. Your mission hall can be split into three teams. Let's feed women and children first, and let them do the rest."
Lao Huang finally sat in the conference room of the city hall as the president of the Hunter Guild, moved him emotionally as an elder, and persuaded the consul to increase the reward of the task with reason.
Bai Zhi frowned after listening to Lao Huang's speech, and said: "The valuation of many materials in our mission hall is indeed as you said, and it does not meet its own value. But just by you and me in the office, we still have to set the price for a piece of fur. It’s not objective enough. Now that Donghai’s commodity economy is so prosperous, let’s let the market determine the price of each commodity. If no one comes to take over the task, I will close the task hall, and Donghai will no longer obtain resources through tasks in the future.”
"Then what method do you plan to use?" Lao Huang's smile came from the bottom of his heart. The tougher Donghai's attitude became, the more he liked it. Donghai official does not issue tasks, but their Hunter Guild can issue tasks. In the future, he will have at least half of the supplies that Donghai needs. There are more than 10,000 free hunters who have to obey his orders. Soon it will be Donghai begging for him.
"Trade." Bai Zhi smiled, "We will exchange the materials we need in the market."
"If necessary, remember to contact our Hunter Guild." President Huang stood up gracefully and took the initiative to end the meeting.
The hunter's guild's mission hall is of course not as big as the city hall's mission hall, but the staff are all teenage girls with sweet smiles and are extremely enthusiastic. Even if you don't do anything, the girls are happy to chat with you. The number of tasks released by the Hunter Guild is not as large as that of the City Hall, but for the same task, the reward increases by 5%. The approachable Chairman Huang would also stand at the door to solicit customers. When he saw young talents, he would enthusiastically pat people on the shoulders and invite them to come to his house for dinner. There isn't much else in Lao Huang's family, except for his unmarried nieces and nephews, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers. The Hunter Guild is packed with people.
After the last team that came to hand over the task left, the task hall in the city hall was crowded. The staff persisted for half a month without waiting for anyone to pick up the task, and finally evacuated. The engineering team spent two days transforming the mission hall into an auditorium that could accommodate a thousand people for meetings. The city hall officially started recruiting students and workers on the day the auditorium was completed.
Enrollment took place on the first day, and the opening ceremony of Donghai Primary School was held in the auditorium the next day. More than 300 students and the same number of parents, plus shop owners in the commercial area who were idle to watch the excitement, barely filled the auditorium.
Bai Zhi made a very brief speech at the opening ceremony, wishing the children good health and good studies. On behalf of the city hall, she gave a set of stationery to each child who came to the ceremony, and left with the city hall staff. The new principal talked less nonsense and announced the end of the ceremony by saying that the new semester would start today. With a wave of his hand, he asked the head teachers of each class to take the students back to the newly completed school for classes.
Donghai’s pragmatic spirit and high efficiency left a deep impression on parents and children.
Compared to Donghai Primary School, which has a smaller population than inner city primary schools, the nursery attached to the female workers' apartment is much more lively. Many female workers send two or three children to the nursery. The total number of female workers in the food processing factory is less than 400. Not counting those who go to elementary school, there are actually more than 500 children. The oldest of these children is five years old and the youngest is only a few months old. They receive free nutrition for a month in the nursery. The meals are all one size bigger, and the mothers’ first month’s salary is basically spent on buying clothes for their children.
Children in elementary school grow faster. The free lunch provided by the school is the original lunch quota of inner-city primary schools. Whether it is staple food or vegetables, they are the best products of Dragon Palace. Inner-city primary schools gave up their quotas because they ate the grain and vegetables produced in Angelica Space.
In addition to the six hours of sleeping outside every day, Bai Zhi only had time to rest during weekly meetings. After working hard for more than a month, she finally sorted out her huge territory and cleared out a huge amount of various grains and vegetables. Yue Dongting, who has always been fond of hoarding food, expressed generously that the primary and secondary school nurseries in Dragon Palace and Donghai will now have special meals with the research institute.
The result of Bai Zhi's work for more than a month, in addition to harvesting grain, was to use canals two meters deep and one meter wide to divide the plains of space into countless pieces. The refreshing bamboo forest, pine forest, peach forest and mixed fruit forest occupy a third of the area, and the wood and rice occupy a large area. The newly sown corn and wheat have not yet sprouted, and the several square kilometers of black land are almost oily in the sun. The chaotic vegetable field is now divided into dozens of small pieces of land. In addition to the dominant certain vegetables, each piece of land also has young seedlings of other vegetables. Digging out those vegetable seedlings is a delicate job, and Bai Zhi can't take care of it now.
The undulating slopes under the snow-capped mountains are a paradise of fir, spruce and oak trees. Angelica dahurica found various herbs transplanted by NPC in the dark corners of the woods. I also found an NPC that was tightly entangled with rose vines under a large group of rose vines.
The NPC may have temporarily wanted to take a nap under the flower stand, but unfortunately Bai Zhi didn't come in for a long time, and he was entangled by the fast-growing flower vines before he woke up. The NPC who regained his freedom happily prepared dozens of unbound formulas for Bai Zhi, all of which only received one gold. Bai Zhi's package includes a complete set of leather equipment suitable for use in water. The attributes tend to increase agility and speed. There is also a set of equipment whose materials are dropped by level 30 BOSS. Bai Zhi only had less than a third of the materials in her hands. They were basically obtained from the octopus and the last few bosses during the octopus fight a few days ago. After Bai Zhi learned these recipes, she felt that after she had tidied up the space, she would have to follow Lin Yun to kill monsters. Fortunately, Xiaoqi, Gu Tianbai and Hao Xing made a study plan for Mian Ning and Mian, and took over the education of the two children. All they left her was to check Mian Ning's homework after dinner, and she could still do it.
In addition to the recipe for making a workbench that he had been looking forward to for several years, Zhang Tianzhao also had recipes for shields and various weapons. There are only four recipes in Haifengqiu, but each one is super important. In addition to the upgraded version of the insect repellent, the big blue that restores 30 to 50% of the super power in seconds, there are also anesthetics and antidote. After they got the formula, they were extremely excited. After searching some of the ingredients from Bai Zhi according to the ingredient list, the two of them sneaked home as soon as they got off work and teleported out to find the ingredients together. Every day Yue Dongting had dinner at Bai Zhi's place, and stayed after the meal to help look after the two children and do some housework, so that Bai Zhi could rest for a while after the heavy labor.
After dinner, Zhang Tianzhao bathed his son and took the time to go out with Haifengqiu. Bai Zhi and Yue Dongting poured vegetables in the living room.
Yue Dongting put away the baskets of tomatoes in his backpack while reporting the news: "Today our President Huang invited Logistics Lao Hu to dinner again. It is said that Lao Hu's son has become friends with President Huang's niece. The parents of both parties want to meet Face."
"How old is Lao Hu's son?" Bai Zhi thought for a while and then said, "How many relatives are there in President Huang's family who can be married?"
"Lao Hu's son is an intern in the government affairs hall. He is at most 18 years old. President Huang's nephew is also about 16 or 17 years old. The president holds a large number of daughters for marriage, except for his biological daughter Huang Xiaotian As a married woman in her early twenties, he also has two biological nieces and three biological nieces, as well as about a dozen orphan girls raised by old friends, ranging in age from fifteen to twenty-five, and they are all pampered as if they were his own daughters. , everyone calls him daddy." Yue Dongting raised his eyebrows, "This old guy has been here for more than a month and has already married two nieces. I heard that he earned the title of a national father-in-law within one year of arriving in Xinjiang City."
"Where did he get the more than a thousand young women in his team?"
"He himself is a principal. When the end of the world began, he took the initiative to protect several universities and a nursing school with his students." Yue Dongting smiled, "His main subordinates are all his students, and they are extremely loyal to him."
"That's it. No wonder he refuses to go to Xijing. Why can't he survive in Xinjiang City?" Bai Zhi feels that Xinjiang City still likes this kind of nepotism.
"There are too many young women in his team, and others are jealous. The men of the son-in-law in Xinjiang City also want wives." Yue Dongting shook his head, met Jian Ning's shining eyes, and teased him, "Little guy, you want a wife?" ?"
Ming Ning nodded, paused for a while and then said, "If uncles don't work hard, I will definitely not have a wife."
Yue Dongting, who has been clamoring to find a wife but has never been able to find her, was hit in a fatal hole, and Bai Zhi laughed loudly.
"I will work hard, just in case I don't give birth to a daughter," Yue Dongting touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "Can Aunt Yue Xiang and Aunt Yue Mei's family add up?"
"The little sister from Aunt Cuicui's family is more to my liking." Mian Ning said in a serious tone, "But I guess she won't like me when she grows up and realizes that she is different from me. In order to not fall out of love when she grows up, I It’s better to find someone of the same kind.”
"You can try dating." Bai Zhi is happy to be Zhu Cuicui's in-laws. "It doesn't matter if you fall out of love. You are still young. It's not too late to start a second relationship after you go to elementary school."
Neither the Consul nor the Second Consul paid much attention to President Huang, and they spent the rest of their time discussing Mian Ning's first love in a serious manner.
President Huang hated Bai Zhi and gritted his teeth. The Hunter's Guild issued a three-month mission. He exchanged all the savings he had saved over the past few years for Donghai coins and sent them out. He also saved dozens of flowers and plants of unknown varieties, as well as two warehouses of animal skins and hooves. Just waiting for the consul to come to ask him for a deal, unexpectedly there was no movement from Donghai officials. He finally took a roundabout way and invited the Logistics Director Lao Hu out for dinner and asked him what the institute's recent needs were. Lao Hu simply said no. He asked him what Donghai's recent purchasing plans were. Lao Hu chuckled and said we wouldn't discuss it after get off work. Business.
Donghai did not purchase any supplies in the market during this period. After all the calculations, the material reserves in the East China Sea were not included! Donghai doesn’t buy these supplies now, but Xinjiang City will accept them if he knows Donghai needs them. It is impossible for Donghai to let the materials they need flow to Xinjiang City. As long as he makes one or two trips to Xinjiang City to sell some of the stockpiled goods, Donghai will still bow his head, and the crystal cores in exchange for space packs will not be a loss. President Huang calculated for a few days and realized that he was making money both inside and outside. He took out the last of his wealth and exchanged it for dozens of space bags, and asked a few loyal men to secretly bring materials such as furs and animal teeth and specialties from the East China Sea to Xinjiang City. The black market for crystal cores.
Every base would turn a blind eye to small-scale buying and selling, but Captain Huang, who dispatched nearly a hundred people at a time to trade with space packets on the black market, was definitely a piece of fat. I really feel sorry for the fat guy when he saw it but refused to take it. President Huang's caravan was intercepted by the patrol team of Xinjiang City on the way back. The large and small bags went to a hundred-man team, and a speedster who had all his clothes stripped off escaped back. Several large trade teams that went to Xinjiang City during the same period ended up not much better.
The low-level tasks of the Hunter Guild disappeared overnight, and were replaced by acquisition tasks such as the crystal core of the thirty-fifth level BOSS. The rewards were so high that one could drool, but the difficulty was also unattainable.
Boss Shen is the leader of a small team of about ten people. He has a wife and three children. The members of the group are either his cousins or his brothers-in-law, or they are also relatives from the same village, and all of them bring their families with them. Two members of the group were injured and could no longer go hunting. A dozen men not only have to support their children, but also support two additional families. Their lives have been tight. They can't even afford to rent a house in the outer city, so they can only live in free settlements outside the city.
Things in the Hunter Guild are quite lively, and Boss Shen has no idea. He knows that he has no ability and can't do anything. He would go to the city hall to get the task from whoever gave him more money. If the city hall could hand it over, he would go to the city hall to get the task. If the hunter's guild could hand it over, he would go to the hunter's guild to get the task. He led his team members to fight in the hunting grounds for more than a month, brought back more than fifty pieces of skins of low-level mutated animals, and excitedly rushed to the Hunters Guild to hand in the task. The pretty girl from the Hunter Guild said to him: "There are no more tasks to purchase low-level furs. The newly released tasks are all written on the wall. Whichever one you can get, I will help you with the procedures." Let him see for himself.
Boss Shen looked at the tasks on the wall several times, but none of them could be completed by his team. He didn't argue with the little girl about why there were no more low-level tasks where he could take the fur and hand it over in person. He silently walked away carrying the animal skin as high as a hill. The annual purchase price of these furs in the mission hall is 60 cents a piece, and the wholesale price in the free market is only 40 cents at most. If they were sold to wholesale merchants in the free market, the money would not be enough to cover the expenses of more than a dozen of their families. Boss Shen walked away While feeling worried, I subconsciously walked to the door of the city hall.
Bai Zhi came out from the meeting and saw a man carrying an animal skin as high as a mountain standing in a daze at the door of the mission hall, and couldn't help but stop. She heard that there were many people carrying animal skins outside the gate these days to reminisce about the past, but this was the first time she saw them in person. This rough man's clothes are shabby, but the animal skin on his back is clean and beautiful. Life has bent his back. The man circled around the door of the auditorium blankly, his eyes numb and desperate.
It's easy to make a decision. Seeing the despair of people whose lives have been changed because of her decision makes Bai Zhi extremely sad. The person who should be punished should be Captain Huang, not these ordinary people who are just trying to make a living.
Bai Zhi took a few steps closer and asked softly: "Brother, how do you sell animal skins?"
"Six cents a piece." Boss Shen responded reflexively. When he turned around, he saw a beautiful woman wearing a black cloak. She didn't look like she was buying animal skins. He trembled nervously and said, "I'll help you." Send them home, fifty-three, and the extra three will be considered extra!"
"Today's market price is sixty-five cents. A total of thirty-four and five cents." Bai Zhi rummaged through her backpack and found only twenty yuan. When she looked at Mr. Shen, her eyes suddenly became angry. She couldn't bear to buy only half of it and said, "You Come with me, I don’t have enough money, I need to borrow some.”
Boss Shen sighed and followed silently. Bai Zhi took him to a stop at the door of Chen Baiyuan's tavern, asked Chen Baiyuan to borrow fifteen yuan, and collected enough money to give to Boss Shen. Boss Shen held the heavy thirty-five coins and asked: "Sister, do you want animal skins in the future?"
"No more for now." Bai Zhi smiled at him and sent him out. When she came back, she sat at the bar and stared at the pile of animal skins in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?" Hao Lang brought her a glass of juice.
Bai Zhi pointed to the pile of animal skins, "That's an ordinary person who conscientiously does his job well. His life is in trouble just because of one of my decisions."
"If he insists on taking the mission in the city hall, even if there is one person to take the mission and hand over the mission, you will not close the mission hall." Hao Lang poured himself half a glass of wine, took out a plate of snacks from under the counter and placed it on At the table, "Everyone is responsible for their own choices."
"Some people make decisions because of lack of ability and lack of understanding of things. They cannot be responsible for their own choices." Bai Zhi thought of Bai Wei and frowned slightly, "This person had no choice at all. At that time, it was only you and Ji Nancheng You dare to take on the mission, don’t you?”
"If you lead troops in a war, you will definitely be reluctant to kill your own people. You will surrender as soon as you count the death of your own people." Hao Lang looked at this little woman regretting and worrying, and couldn't help but smile when he thought of how she used to be a femme fatale in front of him.
"I have never thought about leading troops to fight." Bai Zhi lowered her head and sipped her juice. "If I really encounter something that will kill someone, intellectually I know what I should do, but emotionally, I will definitely be entangled."
"Why can't you harden your heart?" Hao Lang shook his glass, "How can someone like you survive until now."
"Because I will always meet kind-hearted people like you." Bai Zhi toasted him with a toast, "Thank you for helping me so many times."
Hao Lang touched her and said, "You don't remember that I kidnapped you. How generous."
The store door dinged slightly, and Ji Nancheng came in with a straight face. When he saw the pile of animal skins at first sight, he kicked his foot in dissatisfaction and shouted: "Chen Baiyuan, you are getting more and more out of style. You are doing all the business of cats and dogs." Do!"
Bai Zhi jumped off the stool, put the animal skin into her backpack, and said to Ji Nancheng, "Sorry for blocking your way."
"It's okay, it's just that I'm in a bad mood." Ji Nancheng strode to sit across from Hao Lang, grabbed the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. When Bai Zhi came back and sat down, he diligently helped Bai Zhi take off her cloak as an apology.
"Jin Nancheng!" A girl burst open the half-open store door and rushed in. She threw herself on Ji Nancheng and kicked and punched him. "You bastard, you heartless man. You keep saying that you don't want to love anymore when you are tired. Now you are asking for help." Other women are courteous.”
This girl is as fresh and delicious as a freshly picked fruit. She is scratched and beaten without appearing aggressive. Instead, she is as cute as an irritated little kitten. Bai Zhi stepped aside and watched with a smile as she beat the rough-skinned and fleshy Ji Nancheng with her pink fist.
I don’t know when two young girls in their early twenties came in again. They were as fresh and delicious as fruits, but their words were not palatable at all. "Are you so arrogant now when you are a mistress? Why don't you leave when the eldest daughter-in-law comes?"
Bai Zhi lay down and Hao Lang laughed loudly. Bai Zhi smiled and shook her head: "Jin Nancheng, when did you marry the eldest son?"
"As soon as I get married, I will register it with you." Ji Nancheng lifted the little girl away and shook her aside. "I agreed that you would love me and I would like to have a date. We will break up after that. A one-night stand will be gone after one night. It's interesting that you always pester me. ?"
"I'm pregnant!" The little girl shouted repeatedly with tears in her eyes: "I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant, you have to admit it."
"Damn it, I laugh at other people every day, but here I am today. Okay, give birth to me, I'll accept the responsibility for being born like me, and I'll raise you two together." Ji Nancheng turned to look at Chen Baiyuan, who was smiling mischievously, "Give me a cup of fire .”
"What if it's not like you?" the little girl sobbed, "at most it's half like you. You have to admit that it's not like you."
"Of course I won't admit that he doesn't look like me." Ji Nancheng took the second glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, "Let's go. Next time you choose a man, be more careful. No one who is tall and handsome will fall for your trick!" "
"How could it be possible? If this person yelled to him that he was pregnant with his child, he would take over even though he knew it was someone else." Chen Baiyuan spared no effort to add insult to injury. After he finished speaking, he cheerfully asked Hao Lang for confirmation, "Tall and handsome, you say is not it."
"Yes, I'm very happy." Hao Lang also whistled to Bai Zhi, "Do you want to make a date?"
"Scumbag." Bai Zhi took out a tissue and gave it to the pregnant fruit, "Wipe it off. This news is quite shocking. Men react like crazy when they hear that a one-night stand gave birth to a child."
"I'm not lying, I'm real." Guoguo cried cutely and wanted to throw herself into Bai Zhi's arms for comfort.
If Fruit were a remnant of the rebels, everyone would be tricked to death by her. Hao Lang was so frightened that the hairs all over his body stood up. He stretched out his long arms to protect Bai Zhi, "Sister, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully. Don't lean on others."
Ji Nancheng dragged her away, "What are you doing?"
"Sister's arms are so warm, I just want a hug." Guo Guo shed tears in frustration. Her intuition told her that Angelica dahurica would help her, but unfortunately her request for help was blocked.
"Xiao Miao, haven't you noticed yet? These two stinky men are having an affair with her." The girl who just said Bai Zhi was a mistress sneered.
If this girl were a fruit, it would definitely be a spoiled lemon.
