Chapter 17: Recruiting people

Lu Jiu harvested a lot of fruits of various kinds on this trip, enough for her to eat for a long time.

The highlight is the Black Pig BOSS. After killing it, you'll get 2 Pig Tusks, 1 Tough Pig Hide, 1000kg of Black Pork, 999m of Pig Casings, 200 Glory Crystals, 30 Glory Dusts, 15 Glory Fragments, and 550 Copper Coins...

This is really a great harvest, but killing a BOSS once will get you more than 400 contribution points, which is really a huge profit.

However, the BOSS is not so easy to kill.

But what she couldn't take her eyes off the most was the 1000KG of black pork. It was simply a mountain of meat, and she and Shen Jufeng couldn't finish it at all.

"We can go back and ask someone to make sausages. It says here that black pigs are raised on fruit, and their meat is tender and fragrant. I'll keep some of the fresh meat for our daily meals, and make as many sausages as I can with the rest."

Shen Jufeng looked at the 500KG and thought Lu Jiu's suggestion was good. "Let's go together then. Sausages are good too."

Lu Jiu also gave him the pig skin, and the other rewards were basically divided in half.

The chat channel was in an uproar today. Some players started saying that the Black Pig BOSS was killed. Dozens of players surrounded it, but they all said that they did not kill it.

Most people in the channel thought that the reward was meant to be kept for themselves, so they refused to admit it, while some thought that it might have been stolen by someone lurking nearby and watching.

However, according to the description of people who were at the scene at that time, there were only dozens of blood and energy left, so it would be difficult to steal.

For a while, who killed the Black Pig Boss became a mystery.

Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng returned to the city-state. It was so lively here, with hundreds more residents than before.

The two returned to Xuantian City in the evening. Hearing the shouting in the commercial street, Lu Jiu went to the stall selling rabbit legs again.

She tore off a piece of rabbit meat and thought the old man who was setting up the stall was a great cook. She asked, "Old man, can you make sausages? I went out to clear the fields and got some pork and pig casings. I want to make some sausages."

Old man Zeng nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes. I'm not good at anything else, but I'm good at cooking."

"Okay, I'll add you as my friend and email you the reward first. Contact me when you're done setting up your stall."

"Hey, hey." Old man Zeng smiled and nodded. Someone was willing to pay him to stuff sausages, which was really like pie in the sky.

The price Lu Jiu offered was 2 copper coins for one meter of sausage, so 999 meters in total was 1998 copper coins.

The store has a meat grinder and sausage maker, and she mainly needs Old Man Zeng's sausage recipe.

When Old Man Zeng saw the reward of 1998 copper coins, his heart beat faster and he couldn't wait to start working.

Lu Jiu started grilling meat as soon as he returned to his residence. The black pork was just as described, tender and fresh, with a light fruity fragrance that melted in the mouth.

Dipping it in his favorite dipping sauce, Lu Jiu felt that eating until he was full was the greatest respect for black pork.

"This meat is so delicious. I wish I could have it again in the future." This is Lu Jiu's heartfelt wish.

Shen Jufeng agreed, "It should be possible. We have encountered red-eyed rabbits and iron wolves more than once."

While talking, he did not slow down the speed of picking up meat with chopsticks, and he maintained an elegant eating posture.

Lu Jiu felt that this guy was worthy of being a CEO, as he was quick and accurate in his actions.

But I agree with him. A type of wild monster will definitely appear more than once, mainly because of the different levels.

Old man Zeng over there was also very kind. He prepared several kinds of sausages, including champagne sausages, black pepper sausages, air-dried sausages, meat powder sausages, sweet sausages, red sausages, spicy sausages, and grilled sausages. You never get tired of eating them.

Old Man Zeng and his grandson were busy for several days making so many sausages. Old Man Zeng never asked about the source of such a large amount of meat, nor did he allow Tang Yi to say too much.

Finally, there was some fresh meat left, and Lu Jiu gave 50 kilograms to the grandfather and grandson, plus an additional 2050 copper coins as a reward, most of which was for their hard work.

The one-year accommodation fee is 1,200 copper coins, and these 2,050 copper coins are enough to pay for more than a year.

Ever since the Black Pig BOSS in Yangshan City was defeated, ordinary-level BOSSes have appeared in other cities one after another. They vary in type, some are wolves, some are lizards...

Lu Jiu felt that none of them were as good as the black pigs here. At least the meat was really delicious. She ate it for a week straight and didn't get tired of it.

After the map appeared, the people of Xuantian City discovered that some people with strange attitudes came here, secretly promoting the benefits of other city-states to the residents and persuading them to live and develop there.

Some were persuaded to follow the team to other city-states, while others remained unmoved. Many directly paid accommodation fees for one month or even two or three months, which could not be refunded, so why should they leave?

As the city lord, Lu Jiu also noticed the changes in the city-state's population, but she was not worried. The city-states across the country were established at about the same time.

It takes time to test the quality of a city-state.

Moreover, her personal city-state resources are enough to upgrade the city to level 4, but she doesn't want to attract attention and let people realize that she is the player named Jiuci.

"You really should consider it. The team will cover your accommodation for the first month in Phantom City. It's better to team up and farm resources together than to go it alone."

Zhuang Yun, who was starting his career, also received such an invitation. Next to him was the person who talked about Phantom City tirelessly for more than ten minutes.

"No, I live well here and don't want to go through the trouble of moving."

It is true that this person's words are very nice, but he has a natural liking for Xuantian City, and it has always been very peaceful here. He also has some understanding of other city-states, and many city-states have intrigues between teams.

Besides, it sounds nice that the first month’s rent is included, but what about the rest of the month?

He took his daughter with him and just wanted to live a quiet life.

"There aren't many people in a city who can start a career. Since you have a gifted ability, why not make a big move? Our team has just been established. Will we still be short of resources after we make achievements now?"

It’s lacking, it’s very lacking.

Zhuang Yun felt that the man's incessant chatter at this moment was really like the pyramid schemes of the past.

"Really, there's no need. You can ask other people. I still have to be busy." Zhuang Yun got up and left. He didn't want to listen to this guy nagging anymore.

"Hey, think about it again..."

Zhuang Yun ignored his words and instead of thinking about clearing the land to earn money and resources, he came here to persuade him to move.

These people don't understand the nature of this game world at all. When the situation gets a little better, they start forming cliques and engaging in intrigue.

In this case, when danger comes, you won’t even know how you died.

For people like Old Man Zeng in the city, people from outside the city will only persuade them once, because they have not opened a profession and are seen as harmless players who make up the numbers in the eyes of people from outside the city.

Old man Zeng looked coldly at those people from outside the city who shamelessly followed those who often went out of the city to fight monsters. Tang Yi was young and only understood one thing, that is, he didn't want to move away.

"Grandpa, why did they persuade us to move?" Xuantian City is so good. He and his grandfather earned a lot of copper coins here, which was enough to pay for a year's accommodation.

"These are just some short-sighted people. My dear grandson, you should take this as a warning. People like them will not have a good outcome when faced with a disaster."

Tang Yi nodded obediently. Anyway, he thought those uncles and aunts were bad and always looked down on others.
