Chapter 172



Chapter 172

Hai Jing and Lan Yunqing brought him 13,071 experience points and 258,000 points!

Tang Yu'an was stunned.

Moreover, the streak of daily and weekly tasks has not been interrupted, probably because the tasks of attracting new and old customers are completed with the help of employees.

As for cleaning, there are round heads!

So the daily tasks have been completed, and the weekly tasks are similar. There are no tasks that require the use of drainage cards in this cycle.

So lucky!

The settlement information did not stop. Of course, compared with Haijing and Lan Yunqing, the performance of other employees was not so outstanding.

[Employee "Mo Sheng" completed 252 profitable trades, experience points +288, points +8563]

[Employee "Xiao Cao" completed 780 profitable trades, experience points +780, points +7020]

[Employee "Shitou" completed 360 profitable trades, experience points +360, points +3245]

Employee "Lin Zhen" completed 321 profitable trades, gained +321 experience points and +12,385 points.

Employee Li Changqing completed 65 profitable trades, gained +65 experience points and +103,200 points.

Tang Yu'an was stunned.

Wow, Grandpa Li actually made a profit of 100,000 points with just 65 transactions! He's no worse than Haijing and Lan Yunqing!

He understood it after a little thought.

Thanks to the assistance of Lin Zhen, Xiao Cao and others, Grandpa Li is no longer responsible for the trading of ordinary goods and collecting rent for accommodation.

His transactions are all large-scale transactions like those with planters, so the number of transactions is small, but the point value is so large.

This also means that the deserted city home they run has begun to gain momentum!

It can bring in more than 100,000 yuan in revenue in a week!

In the future, when the speed of converting star chain fruit into black soil increases and crop yields increase, there should be more.

Tang Yu'an felt excited just thinking about it. Of course, not all employees worked so hard...

[Employee "Chi Hao" completed 0 profitable transactions]

[Employee Xie Chaori completed 0 profitable trades]

Old Xie was working as a stone in the center of the deserted city, so he couldn't make a deal. Tang Yu'an could understand that. As for Chi Hao...

Tang Yu'an looked at the map and found that he had already left the deserted city far away and was continuing to head north. It would probably be difficult for him to meet any customers on the way.

After the points and experience points are calculated, it's time to...

[Experience value is full, merchant level +1]

[Merchant level reaches lv17, and the mall has added MSG, dried cuttlefish, dried shrimp, laundry detergent, and plastic basins for exchange. For details, please visit the "Wholesale Market"]

[Portable storage slot +1, total slots: 21]

[Plane shop window can display goods +1, currently display goods: 4]

[The tele-pickup skill has been upgraded to level 16. For details, please go to "Skills"]

[Weekly Quest Refresh Card +1]

[Experience value is full, merchant level +1]

[Merchant level reaches lv18, the mall has added chicken essence, dried salted fish, canned beef, umbrellas, and candles for exchange. For details, please visit the "Wholesale Market"]

[Portable storage slot +1, total slots: 22]

[Forum vest +1, added the function of setting different attributes for different vests]

[Teleportation skill upgraded to level 17, please see "Skills" for details]

[Daily Task Refresh Card +1]

Two levels in one week!

Tang Yu'an looked at his experience bar: lv18 (5385/8400).

Seeing the experience points required later, he couldn't help but take a breath. The experience points required for the subsequent levels are really increasing!

But thinking of his excellent employees, Tang Yu'an relaxed again.

It doesn’t matter, the current upgrade speed is already quite fast. He looked at the reward happily.

The newly added products include a lot of dried seafood for exchange, as well as seasonings and canned beef!

Tang Yu'an couldn't help but smile. After all, it was a grocery store system. Grocery stores generally didn't sell fresh food, so it was not bad to have these.

Candles are also good things. The candles used by No. 1 Store now are still the stock that his family already had. Because they are precious, the melted wax will be collected by Grandpa Li for reuse.

Now you can redeem it directly, so you don’t have to worry about running out of money after using it up!

Then there were two more 1 cubic meter portable warehouses. Because of this accidental trip to other dimensions, Tang Yu'an developed a sense of crisis.

He decided to carry a supply of whatever he had with him, so that if he accidentally left the grocery store too far away, he would still have something to use and wouldn't run out of stock.

Wow, another new window has been added to the Plane Shop! Not bad, not bad.

This time they went to another dimension, and it was thanks to the plane store that they could sell things that they collected enough points to buy the plane positioning stone.

The plane store is very important, and the more goods you can put up for sale, the better!

There is one more forum account, and you can also set the attributes of different accounts?

Tang Yu'an opened the forum out of curiosity and saw another empty account on his panel. He didn't use it for the time being, but clicked on the one with "Dongtu Datang".

This time, attribute settings have been added, such as the employee level, store, employment time, forum permissions, etc.

Tang Yu'an touched his chin. Could it be that the forum would add a new icon for checking employee levels in the future? Otherwise, why would they add this feature?

As for the store...

Tang Yu'an's eyes lit up, and he quickly set the pseudonym account to "Ping An Grocery Store", and then popped up a message in the store channel.

Then he asked Zhou Qi if he could see his speech on the store channel.

The result is no!

Because the setting rule of the store channel is "visible to employees of the same store", and Tang Yu'an, as the store owner, is naturally not restricted by this rule.

Therefore, what he says in the store channel is visible to everyone!

This is very embarrassing. For example, when he was chatting with Shi Tou and others in the store channel, in the eyes of Chi Hao and Hai Jing, he started talking to himself for no reason.

So Tang Yu'an never spoke in the store channel, but now there is no such restriction!

At this time, the store channel also became lively because of his speech.

【Message Board (Shop Channel)】

【Dongtu Big Sugar】: Bubbles

【YunYing】: I didn’t expect that DaTang is from the same store as us^^

[Green as Blue]: Big Sugar, you haven’t appeared for a long time, remember to check the messages!

【Little Noise】: Nice to meet you ^^

The little noisemaker was naturally Lao Mo. His real name was Mo Sheng, and Tang Yu'an gave him this name when he recruited him.

After a week of hard work, his level reached lv6.

Soon, Lan Yunqing also showed up.

[Red is better than fire]: Nice to meet you.

Among all the employees, Lan Yunqing was the last to be recruited, but now he has become the highest-level person. 4,200+ profitable transactions directly raised his level to lv15.

However, because Tang Yu'an was not in this plane during this period, the employees' upgrade rewards have not been distributed yet, so he has to find time to distribute them.

[Green as Blue]: Xiaohong, I’ve always wanted to ask, you are a water element, right?

[Hong Shenghuo]: Are you asking this because you are a fire element?

【Green as Blue】: Of course not! What nonsense are you talking about!

Watching their conversation, Tang Yu'an scratched his head. From now on, when giving nicknames to employees, he really can't use antonyms.

Otherwise, you will get it right every time you guess!

【东土大糖】:It’s so lively

[Dongtu Datang]: I have been busy these days doing tasks.

【Green as Blue】: What mission?

【Dongtu Datang】: Secret^^

Because the message board had a high delay when they were in the alternate dimension, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi lost interest in leaving messages later on.

But from the perspective of other employees, they were only gone for a few days.

Tang Yu'an closed the message board and opened the skill panel again.

He discovered that his teleportation skill hadn't even reached the maximum level yet, which was quite surprising! So what kind of improvement did the last two levels offer?

【Tele-Pickup Level 17】

Description: Merchant-exclusive skill

Primary effect (perfect): Within a straight-line distance of 10,000 kilometers from the store, merchants can take and place any goods from the grocery store remotely, with no cooldown time.

Advanced effect (perfect): After taking the goods, you can place them anywhere within 16 meters of your body through visual observation.

Intermediate effect (perfect): You can pick up goods anywhere within 81 meters of your body through visual means.

High-level effect: The effects of the first three levels are increased by 3 times.

Tang Yuan: 0.0

The effects of the first three stages are increased by 3 times?

In other words, the basic level effect is increased to 30,000 kilometers, the advanced level placement effect is increased to 48 meters, and the intermediate level pickup effect is increased to 243 meters?!

This is too powerful! It's indeed a high-level effect!

Tang Yu'an couldn't help but get excited, thinking that this skill could play a huge role in the other dimension.

After all, everything in that plane is huge. Although they haven't explored as far as 10,000 kilometers yet, they will be able to reach it in the future.

The stronger this teleportation skill is, the better!

After finally looking through all the settlement rewards, Tang Yu'an looked at Zhou Qi and found that he was chatting with Grandpa Li, so he hurried over.

"Xiaocao and Shitou are diligent children. They went to Jufeng Town through the teleportation array these days and went to Meiyu Pavilion to sell hot soup." said Old Li.

No wonder Xiaocao has so many profitable trades! After all, there are less than 40 residents. Even if they can make a profit three times a day, the maximum profit they can make is 840.

The total number of profitable times for all employees of No.1 Store far exceeds this figure.

"I went to Jufeng Town yesterday and saw that the construction of the Jufeng Grocery Store is almost complete. It will probably be finished in a few days."

The guards seemed accustomed to them coming out of the basement.

They had already assumed that there was a passage in the basement of the Jufeng Grocery Store with an unknown exit, so the owner and employees of the grocery store would enter the basement and not come out.

"Grandpa, have you heard any news about Sister Hongli? She is the manager of Jufeng Town." Tang Yu'an asked curiously.

He remembered that the fire spirit insect in the red carp's body was caught and swallowed by Brother Xiaoqi.

I don't know what Hongli's current situation is. If she loses her superpowers, I'm afraid Jin Fu and his gang won't let her go.

Old Li shook his head and said, "I haven't heard from the manager."

There were still 10 days left before the date when Tang Yu'an and his team were to deliver the salt to Hongli, so Old Li did not go to the garrison.

As for Jufeng Town, there was no news about the red carp.

"Okay then." Tang Yu'an nodded.

"Where have you been these days?" asked Old Li.

When Zhou Qi jumped into the water before, he and the residents heard some noise, but when they looked over, they found nothing except some fish floating on the water with their stomachs turned upside down.

After a while, he received news from Zhou Qi that he was safe, and he felt relieved.

I just didn’t expect that these two teenagers were gone for 7 days, and such a big change happened during these 7 days.

Both of them have grown taller and stronger, especially Zhou Qi, who was originally tall and thin, but now in addition to his admirable height, his body also looks much stronger.

Tang Yu'an still looks as pretty and delicate as before, with a chubby face, rosy and shiny skin, and looks very healthy.

Of course, he has grown a lot taller. To have this height at this age is already considered good in the wasteland.

"I went to a place." Tang Yu'an said vaguely.

They haven't decided whether to tell Grandpa Li. After all, cross-dimensional teleportation is a matter of great importance.

Once Qingmu Fort gets wind of this news, there will probably be no peace in the deserted city...

They haven't figured out how to deal with this matter yet, so it's better not to tell Grandpa Li for the time being to avoid making him worry too much.

Moreover, the difference in the speed of time flow between that plane and this plane is so extreme, and Grandpa Li is so old, it is unlikely that they will let him pass.

If possible, they hope Grandpa Li can stay with them for a few more years.

"Okay, I understand." Old Li didn't ask any more questions. From the boy's expression, he already understood that this secret might not be suitable for him to know.

Then he talked about the situation in the deserted city home these days.

They could survive in the deserted city under such conditions before, let alone in such a safe environment as No. 1 Store.

The most treacherous and unpredictable human heart has been controlled within the scope of minimal influence under the constraints of the savior halo and overnight stay rules.

So while they were away, the deserted city home continued to develop in an orderly manner.

The first reservoir has been built, and Old Li is organizing the construction of the second one. The water diversion channel with filtering effect that he mentioned earlier has also been completed.

They dug a reservoir in the yard north of the building, and filtered water would flow through the pool, and when the pool was full, it would continue to spread to the outlet on the other side.

The exit on the other side extends to the canal to the east, which divides the land they have opened up into "field" shapes, making planting and water collection more convenient.

The reservoir on the north side became the place where residents drew water for daily use.

After being filtered through large and small stones and activated carbon, the water, which was already quite clear, became even clearer after being allowed to settle.

Although it is still not as good as pure water, it can be drunk after being boiled, not to mention used for bathing and washing clothes.

Yes, because there is now sufficient water, the urgency of brick making has decreased, and residents have more time for activities, so Old Li added new hygiene regulations.

He stipulated that residents must take a bath at least once every two days and wash their clothes every three days.

This is quite uncomfortable for the wastelanders who may not have taken a bath for several years.

But after living at home for more than half a month, they have gradually developed the habit of obeying orders.

After all, none of them wanted to be driven out of their homes in the deserted city and go back to the hard life they had before.

Nowadays, as long as you work hard and obey, you can have enough food and sleep warmly without worrying about being eaten by mutant creatures. It's simply a life like a god!

Isn't it just taking a shower and washing clothes? What's so difficult about that?

Women like Tiemuhua and Ye Lan were very keen on taking a bath and washing clothes. They even went to Room 501 to buy soap and washed themselves clean every day.

In their deserted city home, they have absolute security. They no longer need to make themselves look ugly or get dirty, and no stinky men dare to force themselves.

Of course, when people are well fed and well clothed, they will desire sex, and there are not many entertainment options at home, so during this period some men and women fell in love and moved in together.

After learning about this, Old Li made a special trip to knock on the door.

If she gets pregnant, she has to give birth to the baby - the conditions in the wasteland are limited, and abortion can easily lead to death. Even No. 1 Store does not have the medical conditions.

After the child is born, the parents must be responsible for raising the child until the child reaches the age of 10 - 18 years old is too long for the wastelanders to become adults, so Old Li temporarily set it at 10 years old.

Once it is discovered that a child has been abandoned or intentionally killed, the parents will be directly expelled from their home in the deserted city and will no longer have the possibility of becoming residents.

Although the Deserted City Home has overnight rules that prohibit residents from harming others, this rule is actually not enough to protect young children.

Because there are too many indirect ways to kill someone, especially for young children who have no ability to protect themselves.

Even if you just put the baby in bed without feeding him, he will starve to death.

There are so many ways to cause the death of a child. Old Li has always suspected the darkness of human nature, and he always speculates about people's hearts with the greatest malice.

After his warning, two couples broke up that night, but one couple still persisted.

And when they met Old Li again the next day, the young couple smiled and told him that they felt more at ease because their deserted city home had such regulations.

Every day when they work in the brickyard, they can see Grandma Guo and her two children busy in the fields. The children in the deserted city home really live well.

Fireball's liveliness, sweet talk, and filial piety to his father often made them envious.

They also want to have a child of their own and raise the child by themselves.

They were all abandoned by their parents when they were very young, and they wanted to get back the childhood they never experienced through their own children.

The strict regulations of Huangcheng Home also strengthened their confidence.

At least Huangcheng Home is confident that it can exist for 10 years, so they require them to raise the children until they are 10 years old, right?

If they can continue to live in such a stable and affluent environment, they will have full confidence in raising their children to adulthood.

After hearing what the young couple said, Old Li was a little surprised, but his face remained indifferent.

Everyone can say nice things, but the key is whether you can do it.

He also felt that the other party might be doing this because they were attracted by the preferential treatment given to pregnant women in the deserted city home.

But this was their own choice, and Old Li didn't ask too much about it. It was just a reduction in rent. Huangcheng Home no longer relied on rent to earn points.

After hearing what Old Li said, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "They have to have a baby without getting married?"

Old Li paused.

He never expected that the child's first reaction after hearing the news would be this. Does this mean that marriage still requires registration in the fortress?

Of course, Tang Yu'an reacted quickly.

This is the end of the world, social order has collapsed, people no longer have the concept of marriage, and maybe even the terms husband and wife are no longer used much?

He thought for a moment and asked, "Grandpa, do you think it's necessary for them to get married?"

Old Li frowned and thought, as if he felt it was unnecessary. He just saw what Tang Yu'an was thinking, so he was organizing his words.

At this time, Zhou Qi said: "I think it is necessary."

"Marriage is about a couple taking responsibility for their family... Although our residents grew up in the wasteland and may not have a strong sense of responsibility, things are no longer the same now."

"They will continue to live in the deserted city and help us build and develop, and even defend our homeland, so it is very important to cultivate their sense of responsibility."

Zhou Qi said: "At least, let them have the concept of a family first."

The most natural place to cultivate a sense of responsibility is in the family. After all, blood ties are innate.

Compared to outsiders, people definitely prefer to be close to their family members, and once they have feelings, it is difficult to let go easily.

"Let the couple become a family first, and constantly reinforce this concept so that they can truly understand what a warm family is."

With them as role models, other residents can be encouraged to understand this concept and spontaneously form small homes.

Tang Yu'an listened to Zhou Qi's explanation and nodded happily: "Then in this way, our Huangcheng Grocery Store will truly become a 'home'!"

Old Li stared at the two teenagers for a while, then sighed and nodded. "Your idea is correct, so how should it be implemented?"

"There's no need to do anything for now. Just get a booklet and have them sign and put their fingerprints on it."

They encourage the emergence of "families", but are also worried about excessive intervention - such as corresponding welfare policies, which will lead some residents to combine purely for welfare.

This is not what they want, so they don't plan to do anything more for the time being.

"Sign and fingerprint? What's the use?" Old Li didn't understand.

"I know!" Tang Yu'an raised his hand and said, "This is called a sense of ritual!"

"A sense of ritual?"

"Yes." Zhou Qi nodded. "Let's do this first. Write down today's date. We'll make two certificates and give them to the newlyweds later."

"Date? How do I remember this?" Old Li was confused again.

Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said, "Let's mark this year as the first year of our homeland, with 30 days as a month and 12 months as a year."

"Wow, this feels so good!"

Tang Yu'an also expressed his thoughts. He smiled and said, "How about setting January 1st as the day when the deserted city home was built?"

The climate in the wasteland is chaotic, and no one has the time to record dates and history. People don't even know their exact age.

If that's the case, then why can't they set the date? The history of the deserted city home can be recorded and compiled by them themselves!

The author has something to say:

An An: It suddenly ignited! [Come on][Come on][Come on]
