40 people can cut down more than 1,000 trees in 9 hours, which is enough time.

However, to avoid any unexpected situations, it's best to play it safe.

Lu Xingchen thought for a moment and said to everyone, "Assess the situation. If you feel that we don't have enough manpower, continue to recruit."

Anyway, she got something for nothing.

A raft scoring rule makes no difference whether you tell one person or 100 people, because it will spread anyway; the wood that the players obtain is also chopped by themselves.

Furthermore, players should be given some spare time to chop wood for their own use.

However, it is not good to make too much noise, and Wei Lin and others cannot recruit too many people.

After listening to Lu Xingchen's words, Wei Lin, Wei Ying, Gao Dafu, Zhong Qiang and others continued to recruit people. Since they were in charge, their requirements were different.

Wei Lin: "Recruit 10 more people, with a Strength of 18 or above, and with a high-level iron axe and a summon card. The treatment will be the same as before. If you're interested in joining, please contact me privately."

Zhong Qiang: "Recruit 5 more people, with the same requirements and salary."

Gao Dafu: "Everything is the same as upstairs."

The players immediately got excited, and those who were unlucky enough not to be selected earlier quickly messaged Wei Lin or Zhong Qiang.

Of course, this time the strength requirement was relatively high, and many people were eliminated, which made some players unhappy:

"You didn't ask for power just now, so why are you asking for it now? That's not fair!"

"That's right, Wei Lin, why did you add these conditions at the last minute?"

"Well, who told you that you aren't Lu Xingchen's friends? If you were her friends, you wouldn't be complaining about not being chosen. Instead, you would be the captain and be on the side that selects the players."

"If I had known Lu Xingchen was this powerful, I would have definitely clung to him. I regret it so much!"

"Come on, which of Lu Xingchen's friends is weak?"

"Who says there are no weak people? Fat, tall, rich, and not weak at all."

Gao Dafu: "Hey, hey, hey, why are you talking about me? I'm not weak, okay? Gu Yanzhi and I cut down an average of 6 trees per hour. Who among you can do that?"

Wei Lin: "The number of people is full!"

Gao Dafu: "Same as above!"

Zhong Qiang: "Same as above!"

Wei Lin and others recruited a few more people and continued to chop wood.

Lu Xingchen turned off the chat window.

At this time, Ji Forty-nine had almost finished resting, and the few of them continued to move forward. Lu Xingchen also released Lan Lan and let it explore the way ahead.

Meimei wanted to come out too. Once she did, she darted out like lightning, leaving behind the words: "Master, we have a contract. Within a certain range, we can communicate telepathically. I'm going to scout ahead. Call me if you need anything, and I'll be right back."

Lanlan and Meimei left, and the group continued on their way.

As they walked, the path went down and entered a sunken valley. Lu Xingchen found that the weather was getting hotter and hotter.

The valley was filled with towering trees that blocked out the sunlight, making it stuffy, hot, and humid, which she found hard to bear.

Lu Xingchen stopped and asked: "Why did Babu build the road here?"

It doesn't look like yellow teak.

Ji Forty-Nine looked around and said, "I've never been here before. I don't know what it's about."

Ji Twenty-Three: "Anyway, the Babu family is out drinking, what are we afraid of? Let's go and take a look!"

Several people continued to walk inside, and the terrain became lower and lower.

Suddenly, Ji Forty-Nine shouted, "Wow, flowers, white flowers!"

Lu Xingchen went over to take a look and saw that not far from the path, there were many rotten logs lying on the ground, with white...silver ear fungus on them.
