Chapter 262
Looking at the message reminder, Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
During these two days, except for sleeping time, he was doing transactions to gain experience points, and finally raised his level.
He sent a message to Tang Yu'an, finished the deal with the last person, then stood up and said, "Take a break and come back later."
Zhou Qi traded day and night, but he only made deals with more than 4,000 Self-Defense Force members, leaving about 7,000 to 8,000 people.
Because he was taking a break, some people would inevitably take advantage of the situation and try to make more changes, but they would be caught by Zhou Qi and the opportunity would be left to others who had not yet made a change.
Such a fair and just action not only makes people respect his strength, but also makes them love him more.
When they heard that he was going to take a halftime break, although some people who didn't get to make the substitution were inevitably dissatisfied, most people still maintained an attitude of understanding and support.
Although I don't understand why this big boss Wu Yue had to do the transaction personally, these three compressed biscuits were actually equivalent to giving them to them for free.
It's free stuff, so what's there to complain about?
Zhou Qi took Tang Sheng back to the truck where the magic tent was.
As soon as they entered the carriage, Tang Yu'an's voice invitation came.
Voice communication is not free. In the past two days, they have spent tens of thousands of points on voice communication fees alone, so they cannot keep the call open all the time.
Despite this, they felt satisfied as long as they could hear each other's voices.
Zhou Qi quickly answered the call, and at the same time, he also received a new system message.
[Because of your outstanding work performance, the mysterious merchant has granted you high-level authority to establish branches. Please keep up the good work and create even better results!]
"Brother Xiaoqi, I gave you permission, did you receive it?"
"Yes, I got it."
Zhou Qi and Tang Sheng returned to the tent and found Tang Xueyun who was tutoring her daughter.
"Can we open a branch now? That's great!"
In the past two days, Tang Xueyun had already found a house and completed the handover with Mo Chengfei.
She immediately took Zhou Qi to the house.
The house is located in the center of the base. It is a three-story self-built house with a small courtyard.
It is worth mentioning that the owner of this house is still alive and is in the Self-Defense Forces.
When he learned that Tang Xueyun was looking for a house, he immediately found Mo Chengfei and expressed his willingness to give the house to Tang Xueyun.
His only request was that Tang Xueyun could adopt his grandson.
In fact, because the base area is limited, Mr. Lin’s house has long been occupied by other Self-Defense Force members.
Of course, the same situation applies to other houses.
Mo Chengfei did not think that the house in the base was private property, and that Mr. Lin had no right to dispose of the house.
However, after seeing the house, Tang Xueyun was indeed quite satisfied and had no ill feelings towards the old man.
So she consulted with Zhou Qi and finally decided to accept the house and take in the grandparents and grandchildren.
After all, according to the experience of the deserted city home and the population size of the base, more and more manpower will be needed in the future.
It is also very necessary to investigate in advance and pay attention to suitable candidates.
The Self-Defense Force members who were crowded in the Lin family's house have been found another place to stay. Now there is no one else in the house except the Lin family's grandfather and grandson.
Tang Xueyun took Zhou Qi directly into the house.
Zhou Qi stood in the living room on the first floor and directly opened the panel to start setting up a branch.
On the other side, Tang Yu'an also received the news.
[Employee "Zhou Qi" is setting up a branch, you choose]
[Agree][Reject]
Of course I agree!
Then, Zhou Qi was deducted 10,000 points.
Compared to when Tang Yu'an personally established a branch, the points he deducted increased several times.
Fortunately, the compressed biscuits he used for the transaction were bought by Tang Yu'an and given to him through the portable warehouse, so his points balance was enough to cope with it.
【"Ping An Grocery Store No. 13" was successfully established! 】
You became the branch manager of Heian Grocery Store No. 13.
Zhou Qi served as the store manager of two branches, and the store panel he managed added the interface of store No. 13.
After establishing a branch, the protective barrier is activated, however...
[This function can only be used when the employee level reaches lv21]
Zhou Qi couldn't help but pause.
"Brother Xiaoqi, what's wrong?" Tang Yu'an's voice sounded in his ears.
Zhou Qi pursed his lips slightly, but still told him the details.
Tang Yu'an was stunned for a moment, and quickly opened his shop interface, and found that the activation of the protective barrier and the teleportation array indeed required being in the shop.
Because he had previously opened branches directly after they were established, he was not aware of this restriction.
Tang Yu'an suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. According to Zhou Qi's speed, it would be easy to reach level 21, but the problem was...
"Isn't there a limit to opening the teleportation array?"
Zhou Qi clicked the button of the teleportation array, then sighed: "Yes, it requires employee level lv25."
The presence of employee levels has never been very strong, and after his skill of tele-delivery became sufficient, he no longer paid much attention to it.
I didn't expect that I would get stuck at this step.
Tang Yu'an also took a deep breath. He was only level 25 now. To reach this level, Xiaoqi needed...
He quickly calculated, then took a deep breath and whispered, "220,500 experience points are needed."
At the rate of 12,000 experience points over the next three days, it would take approximately...
"At least 56 days." Zhou Qi replied.
Moreover, this is the result of his almost neglecting sleep and forgetting to eat, and he also had to promote the birth of Starlink Fruit in the middle. Of course, now that he can recruit employees, the speed should be able to increase.
This kind of transaction method is obviously not very healthy for the development of the base...
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat tense, Tang Yu'an said, "It doesn't matter. We still need positioning stones to build a cross-dimensional teleportation array, and we don't have any."
"Take your time. First, raise your level to level 21 and activate the protective barrier before you do anything else."
Zhou Qi sighed in his heart, knowing that this was the only way.
"To upgrade to level 21, I need 25,200 experience points. I may have to stay for another week before I can go back." When he said this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
An An's birthday is coming soon, and he is thinking about rushing back to be with him...
"Yeah, it's okay." Tang Yu'an said, "Recruit mom and dad as employees. With them helping you, you won't have to be so tired."
When this was mentioned, Zhou Qi began to talk about his concerns.
"If I hire Aunt Tang as an employee, will she still be able to use the Dream Bottle?"
Tang Yu'an was stunned.
Yes, after they recruited Xie Chaori as an employee, his dream message in a bottle was broken and he was no longer a “dream wisher”.
If the mother is hired as an employee, can she still use the message in a bottle?
He thought for a moment and said, "After being hired as an employee, I have a portable warehouse to transfer things to. So, the dream bottle is actually useless, right?"
Zhou Qi pursed his lips into a straight line.
"If Aunt Tang really can't use the message in a bottle, then I can't go back."
Hearing that there seemed to be a hint of grievance in Zhou Qi's tone, Tang Yu'an felt as if a place in his heart was poked.
He thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoqi, do you miss me?"
"Um."
Zhou Qi's straightforward admission actually made Tang Yu'an blush, although he didn't know why he was blushing.
Isn’t it normal for Brother Xiaoqi to miss him?
"It's okay, Xinxin is here." Tang Yu'an said, "The new bottle was sent back half a month ago, and it should arrive in the next few days."
Apart from Tang Sheng and his wife, Tang Yuxin is his closest blood relative in this world, and she can also receive his bottle.
Zhou Qi still needs to stay in the original world for at least seven or eight days, so there is no problem with time.
Zhou Qi thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.
"Even though Xinxin won't be able to attend compulsory education courses, there's nothing we can do about it. I think she'll understand."
Zhou Qi's mind flashed with the smug look on the little girl's face when Tang Xueyun left with him just now.
Well, he felt that Xinxin would not only understand, but would also be very happy.
"Okay, then I'll hire Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang."
Zhou Qi looked at Tang Sheng and his wife and sent them a recruitment notice. On the other side, Tang Yu'an also received a reminder.
He immediately clicked to agree.
When he saw his parents' names added to the personnel panel, his eyes couldn't help but feel sore.
"Brother Xiaoqi, thank you..."
As long as his parents upgrade to level 5, he can make voice calls with them.
"No need to say thank you between us."
Then, Zhou Qi took Tang Sheng and his wife out of Store No. 13 and continued to distribute compressed biscuits to gain experience points.
As for store No. 13, there's no need to worry about it for now, because...
Even without the protective barrier, the "Evil Guests Keep Away" aura is always in effect, and those who harbor ill intentions towards them cannot enter.
Seeing them return, the people who were still guarding the stalls immediately gathered around them happily.
With the addition of Tang Sheng and his wife this time, the transaction speed suddenly increased. After all, Zhou Qi is the branch manager, and he can get 1 experience point for every profitable transaction they make.
-
MR176349 plane, deserted city home.
Tang Yu'an sniffed, and thinking that Zhou Qi would not be back for at least a week, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
He walked to the window and stared at the scenery outside in a daze.
During the more than twenty days that Zhou Qi was away, the temperature in the deserted city area dropped sharply, and the outside world had turned into a world of white snow.
However, this white snow disappeared about ten meters outside the wall of the deserted city home, and was replaced by a green and vibrant area.
Because of the existence of the blue beard tree, the temperature in the deserted city home still maintains around 20 degrees.
Apart from the lack of sunlight on cloudy days which causes slower crop growth, there are basically no major problems.
Such a stable temperature is even more comfortable than before the cold disaster came.
Of course, because the blue beard trees mainly grow inside the deserted city, the road between the deserted city and the Jufeng Mountain cannot avoid low temperatures even if it is protected by the protective barrier.
Fortunately, when the temperature reaches below zero, the protective barrier's function of resisting destructive natural disasters takes effect.
On the newly built road, the temperature was maintained at a level slightly above zero, just enough to avoid freezing.
Despite this, this temperature is already comfortable compared to the weather outside which is dozens of degrees below zero, especially now that almost every resident of Jufeng Mountain and the deserted city has at least one peace coin.
By sticking a peace coin to your chest, you will have a constant source of warmth, which can at least prevent you from freezing to death.
Moreover, nearly a month later, the construction team of Jufeng Mountain had built a fence from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, not only covering the strongholds along the way, but also encircling the entire Jufeng Town.
Now, the main human activity areas on Mount Jufeng have, in a sense, become part of the deserted city’s home.
Under the protection of the protective barrier and the peace coins, the residents of Jufeng Mountain can finally avoid the cold disaster. There should be very few deaths this year, or even zero deaths.
On the other side, the construction team of Huangcheng Home has also built a highway from the foot of Jufeng Mountain to Linhai Town.
Because Linhai Town had been incorporated into the sphere of influence of the Shangshen Cult, the war that the construction team had been worried about did not happen.
Although there were some minor troubles at the beginning, Haijing stepped in to mediate in time.
Under Haijing's "rule", the residents of Linhai Town have been liberated to a great extent.
However, because they are used to being oppressed, if one day they are suddenly told that they are free, they will be at a loss as to what to do.
So Haijing organized them to go to the seaside to dig salt ponds. The salt ponds dug out belonged to individuals, but the salt needed to be sold to the seaside grocery store.
This should also be considered a monopoly, but compared to Li Zhentian's exploitation of people as slaves, this kind of "monopoly" actually gives the residents of Linhai Town a way to make a living.
After all, they didn't know any salt merchants, and if no one bought the salt, it would be useless for them to dry it.
Therefore, Haijing's popularity in Linhai Town gradually grew, and the points it brought to Tang Yu'an were even more terrifying.
During the more than 20 days that Zhou Qi was away, Hai Jing and his daughter alone brought Tang Yu'an 5 million points.
That’s right, it’s 5 million points!
However, because Haijing and his daughter are too busy to handle everything, most of the transactions can only be entrusted to "believer representatives" to complete the final points harvest.
Otherwise, Tang Yu'an would probably have received a lot of experience points.
This is still the initial result. As time goes by, when the potential of Linhai Town is fully tapped, it will probably become a terrifying points-generating machine.
After the connection between Linhai Town and Huangcheng Home was established, Tang Yu'an also took Shugen's bus to Linhai Town and contacted Haijing as "Dongtu Datang".
Hai Jing did not recognize his hidden identity.
Because he had received the task of establishing friendly relations with Huangcheng Home, and because of their previous friendship at the employee forum, he was very friendly and respectful to Tang Yu'an, and did not look down on him because of his young age.
Tang Yu'an also added all the residents of Linhai Town to the overnight stay list of the Deserted City Home, a total of 46,805 people -
This is also one of the reasons why Linhai Town was able to bring him 5 million points in less than a month.
Adding to the original 5,000-plus, the population on the overnight stay list of Huangcheng Home has now reached 52,405 people.
If the Huangcheng Home had not been upgraded and the number of overnight accommodation places had not increased to more than 110,000, the road built by the Huangcheng Home would have stopped in front of Linhai Town.
But now, since it has been added to the overnight stay list, of course Linhai Town must be fully included in the territory.
So, after resting, the construction team split into two again.
One team went in another direction and continued to build the road to Lanhu Town, while the other team came to Linhai Town again.
They recruited a group of people in Jufeng Mountain - all of whom had participated in the construction before. After expanding the team again, they continued to pave the road.
The goal that Tang Yu'an set for the team was to build this road to every fishing village in Linhai Town.
Although the construction was hard and the task was arduous, none of the members of the construction team complained.
With a job, you get a salary and eat delicious boxed lunches. It is a bit tiring, but the risk of this job is almost zero. Compared with my previous precarious life, it is simply heaven.
Look at the fishermen in Linhai Town. Although they live by the sea, they are all pale and thin.
With this comparison, the construction team members felt extremely happy and became more motivated.
At the same time, Tang Yu'an also gave Hai Jing a task, asking him to organize people in Linhai Town to build a new wall and connect it with the highway fence of Huangcheng Home.
Haijing has learned a little about the "secret" of the protective barrier in the administrator channel - of course, he got it in a private transaction with Lao Li.
So he understood the significance of this matter and was very proactive in completing this task.
The cold wave hit Linhai Town later than the deserted city area, but its power has gradually become apparent. They have to surround the entire town as soon as possible to enjoy the protection of the protective barrier.
However, Linhai Town already has a wall, and there are many people with earth-type abilities, so this project should not take too long to complete.
After it is completed, Linhai Town can also be incorporated into the system of Huangcheng Home.
Tang Yu'an stood by the window and thought for a while, then he cheered up, took out paper and pen, opened the course and started the class.
Study when you feel lonely, so that time will pass faster.
But he didn't study for long before he stopped because -
【"Pillow Superman" requests to add you as a friend】
【"Superwoman" requests to add you as a friend】
Zhou Qi told Tang Yu'an about these two titles, and he thought they were super cool!
So after Zhou Qi successfully recruited the students, he immediately gave his parents new names.
Tang Yu'an clicked to approve the application, and then quickly sent voice invitations to the two of them. Tang's father accepted it first.
His first words were—
"Son, can you change your father's name?"
Tang Yu'an blinked and whispered, "But the title has a 90-day cooling-off period..."
Doesn’t Dad like this name?
