There are only 8 employees at the third checkpoint at the moment. Lin Fuxia thought that only 4 people needed to be left in the checkpoint to support the operation, so he divided them into two groups, one for day shift and the other for night shift.

But this definitely won't work in the long run, so she continued to recruit more employees.

After more than ten days, the third level had accumulated a batch of flower soup and flower paper.

She sold the flower decoction in the drugstore, and gave the flower paper to Morris.

"Is this the paper from the Hanging Gardens?" Morris' eyes widened in surprise, and he treated the flowered paper with a little more caution.

Lin Fuxia was puzzled: "It is indeed the paper from the Hanging Garden. What's so special about this Hanging Garden?"

"It is a kingdom that exists only in the air, untouched by any evil, representing transcendence, uniqueness, and holiness. It is a place that everyone longs for."

Morris sighed, "I tried everything, but I was only there for a short moment."

As he spoke, a look of longing appeared on his face. "I still remember the endless flowers and sea of ​​clouds there. When I raised my hand, it felt like I could touch the sky. It was also the place closest to the Ancestral God!"

Lin Fuxia suddenly realized that the Sky Garden had such a unique status. No wonder her NPC employees were so excited when they went there.

She looked at Morris and thought to herself, "If you want to go, it's very simple. Just work for me. I can keep you there 24 hours a day. I'm afraid you'll yell to leave work by then."

Morris asked, "Are you planning to sell this flowered paper to a noble lord through me?"

Morris touched the floral paper and couldn't let it go. The nobles would definitely like its delicate and flexible feel, elegant fragrance, floral color, and the halo from the Hanging Gardens.

He was even reluctant to give the paper to the nobles, thinking it was a waste of resources.

Lin Fuxia said, "I've never dealt with nobles, so I'm inevitably nervous. So I'm asking you to help me sell it. Don't tell me you don't have any connections."

She just wanted to make some money and let the nobles have better paper so that ordinary paper could be popularized faster, but she didn't want to please those so-called noble masters.

She has never dealt with the nobles in the game, and she doesn't want to kowtow to them for the time being. She will wait until she can be on equal footing with them before interacting with them.

Morris thought about it and agreed readily. This would also be beneficial for him to maintain his relationship with the aristocracy.

Originally, he was just an old man who wanted to live a simple life in his retirement, but the rise of the vocational college brought him back into the sight of some people. In this case, he couldn't just do nothing.

"I'll find a time to visit the city lord and sell you the colored paper. If you want to sell it for a high price, don't let anyone know you made it. Just say it came from the Hanging Gardens—other people don't have this, right?"

Lin Fuxia thought to himself that yes, there were. Players who passed the third level, if they scored high and achieved a perfect clearance, would be rewarded with flower paper and Hundred Flower Soup. If they just passed the level normally, there would be no reward, but they would be eligible to purchase these two items.

Therefore, those who pass the third level will have some of these two things in their hands.

However, most players choose Baihua Tang because flower paper is really useless.

So she shook her head and said, "Basically not."

"That's good. You should prepare more secretly. When it becomes popular, you can make a fortune. The city of Andif alone doesn't consume much paper, but there are other city-states with many wealthy nobles."

Lin Fuxia thanked him sincerely: "Thank you very much."

Morris put away the small box containing the flowered paper and suddenly said, "Did you know that the annual recruitment season is coming soon?"

"Recruiting season?" I've never heard of this.

"There are wars on the front lines every year, and we have to recruit soldiers every year to replenish our manpower," Morris explained. "After each recruitment, half of the young and middle-aged men from the city to the small villages below are gone. After so many years, there is almost no one left to recruit.

That's right, Lin Fuxia thought, in a novice village like Baishan Village, there is not a single healthy and strong man to be seen.

Although the situation in the city is better, the majority of civilians are the elderly, the weak, women and children.

But now that the players have arrived, the source of troops will probably fall on the players.

She asked, "Who is fighting with whom?"

The game introduction only mentioned that there was a battle on the front line, but it was unclear what the battle was about. She only knew that the first service area was relatively close to the front line.

However, the first service area corresponds to the capital of the real empire. She has never come into contact with players in the first area, so she is not very clear about the situation there.

"Most of the ferocious monsters, as well as some creatures of death and darkness, are extremely terrifying. We collectively call them monsters or foul and evil creatures."

This was the first time Lin Fuxia had heard of this setting, so he asked, "Are those monsters outside the city also of this kind?"

Morris said, "The main force of those creatures was firmly blocked on the west side of the continent, but a few escaped. Most of them hid in the deep mountains and forests, also known as the Monster Forest, while a few wandered around the city-states."

Lin Fuxia took a deep breath.

So, those wild monsters outside the city are skirmishers, the Warcraft Forest is a small stronghold of monsters, and the real main force is still blocked at the front line?

Then this world is really a bit dangerous.

No wonder the city encourages players to kill monsters. They can drag back the corpses of some powerful monsters and claim the bounty at the Governing Hall.

The corpses of powerful enough monsters will be hung on the wall to boost everyone's morale.

For example, a certain bird BOSS.

"In previous years, those monsters would often come to besiege the city. After you, the aliens, came, you probably killed more monsters, and the number of monsters has obviously decreased. So, the siege has almost never happened."

Morris said, "You otherworldly people are very capable in combat, and have greatly filled the gap in the population. We will definitely recruit you this time. Large property owners like you must send people to serve, or else you will have to donate a large sum of money to support the war. You should prepare early."

Lin Fuxia frowned. Donate money? That's absolutely not possible.

It's not like she hasn't paid taxes normally. She has always paid taxes honestly and proactively. Why is she forced to donate again during conscription season?

She earned the money through her own ability, why should she give it away for free?

She went to the executive hall to find out more, and then found that business owners like her were really fat sheep in the eyes of the officials.

In addition to her own military service obligation, each of her employees in the store must send at least one person to serve in the military. If there are more than five employees, one out of every five employees must enlist in the military.

This is all enforced. Who makes it so that the big industrial owners are the ones who benefit the most from "peace"?

It's easy to ask hired workers to serve in the army. Just pick one out of five. As long as you pay them enough, there will still be people willing to go.

But property owners generally don't go to the front lines to fight themselves. After all, they are rich, and rich people's lives are precious, so they often spend money to avoid disasters.

And this amount of money is quite huge.

Coming out of the executive hall, she couldn't help but frown.

She now has two pharmacies, a grid shop, a hotel, and two beverage shops. Even if the one in the Sky Garden is not counted, she has dozens of employees in total, which means that more than a dozen people have to serve.

Among these employees, not to mention the NPCs, both the old and the young are basically just delivering food to the front line.

As for the players, if they are willing to fight and kill, they will not come to work.

She began to understand why the NPCs here were so poor. If they had a little money, they would be ripped off. It would be better to be poor.

Walking on the road, she thought silently, should she find some employees who like fighting and killing? But such people will not work well for her at all, so wouldn't she be supporting these people in vain?

She suddenly wanted to set up a guild, because the guild was regarded as a whole. A guild only needed to provide a certain number of people to serve in proportion, and it would not matter how many industries were developed under the guild.

At that time, those who like to work can continue to be her employees diligently, and those who like fighting and killing can fill the military service quota in time. How great is that.

…

A few days after Lin Fuxia learned about this, the news of conscription spread.

The people in the city panicked.

In the pharmacy, Ron told Lin Fuxia with some concern that everyone wanted to take leave and register their household registration in the countryside village.

"There's no conscription in the village this year. If we register our household registration there, we'll be exempt. But during the conscription period, I'm afraid we'll have to stay in the village."

Lin Fuxia frowned, thinking that this would waste time.

NPCs are afraid of being forcibly conscripted, and the players are also not calm. Lin Fuxia’s player employees are chatting about how to avoid conscription.

If you are forcibly conscripted and then become a deserter, you will never be able to survive in the city again. No city will want such a person, and you can only go to the mountains and become a savage.

When they learned that they, as Lin Fuxia's employees, were no longer considered free citizens under local law, and that under normal circumstances, at least one out of five people would serve in the army,

When they saw Lin Fuxia, they would tactfully express their unwillingness to go to the front line, otherwise they would have no choice but to resign and become savages.

Lin Fuxia rubbed his forehead and immediately left the guild.

She directly recruited seven or eight good-looking player employees, including a very cool and pretty young lady, to serve as the nominal president.

Lin Fuxia took everyone to the Governing Hall to register a guild, named "Money-Making Guild", and then went straight to the Sky Garden to challenge the levels.

"Don't worry, just treat it as your own home and relax."

Some of these employees were responsible for the third stage, and they were all subtly speechless when they heard Lin Fuxia say this.

The first level, the suspension bridge, is so easy with Lin Fuxia around.

In the second level, the girl was transferred to the rose garden. The rose giant was an old acquaintance and gave Lin Fuxia face and fought a coaching battle with her.

The boy and the president's sister went to the audition. Since they were all good-looking and the sister had an androgynous beauty, they passed the audition smoothly.

Then we came to the third level, which was a real feeling of being home. Even though the players didn’t know that the “NPCs” in the third level were all their own family members, they all felt that the “NPCs” here were so friendly.

After 6 hours, they defeated the opponent guild and passed the level perfectly.

The Money-Making Guild will become a third-level guild in one fell swoop, and then recruit members from the general public.

Welfare benefits are as follows:

22% off at Shuangxia Pharmacy
