Chapter 67
It felt like the game suddenly became realistic at this moment.
It’s not that Shu Mo doesn’t understand.
If it were an ordinary business simulation game, employee screening and hiring might only require a few clicks on the panel to complete.
But here, she is facing real players.
When performance is poor, or when she finds that an employee's abilities are not suitable for the current position, she cannot simply click the word "fire" and make the other person disappear from her world.
That’s why you need to be more cautious when making hiring decisions.
Every employee today was retained by Shu Mo after careful investigation.
However, the disadvantage is that with this additional pressure, the hotel has been unable to recruit people quickly. Now every employee, including Shu Mo himself, is working overtime.
Thinking back on the busy period of the past period, Shu Mo felt a little guilty. She thought about it and called up the employee panel.
…
A few minutes later, a light screen popped up in front of all the hotel employees at the same time.
【To celebrate the successful opening of the annex, bonuses are now being distributed to all employees. 】
【The bonus will be credited to your account within one minute, please click Account Inquiry. 】
Thank you for your hard work during this period! 】
…
"This is your bracelet, please keep it——"
Gu Xiao's voice stopped abruptly, and she looked at the reminder that popped up in front of her in disbelief.
【Received: 500 points】
After reacting, Gu Xiao sent the customer away with unchanged attitude, and the expression on his face then changed to ecstasy.
She clicked on the deposit notification again, looked at the number again and again, and took a breath, "Why is it so much!"
After working in the hotel in Guangming Town for so many years, Gu Xiao had never heard of such a thing as bonus.
But it had only been half a month since she came to the hot spring, and she had already gotten so much...
A full 500 points.
By this calculation, her daily salary will have to double!
Gu Xiao counted on his fingers and continued to hiss and inhale, "100 points!"
How could she actually get nearly 100 points a day? Isn't that higher than many high-level players?
Although Shu Mo mentioned bonus as part of the salary package when he was recruiting, Gu Xiao had never taken it seriously before.
After all, in her opinion, the original treatment of the hot springs was already very generous.
In the doomsday, this is definitely a good job that you can't find even with a lantern.
But unexpectedly, the boss could give even more.
She covered her mouth, and the next second she saw Shu Mo coming down from upstairs, and immediately greeted him happily, "Boss!"
Eyes sparkling.
Shu Mo noticed her, walked over, and asked with a smile: "Did you receive the bonus?"
"Got it." Gu Xiao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and asked in a low voice, "Are there really so many?"
Could it be that I sent it to the wrong person?
Shu Mo hummed, "Really."
Although all employees receive bonuses, the actual amounts received vary.
Elderly people like Gu Xiao and Liu Xueruo get the highest tier. The others come to the hot spring for a shorter time, so the amount is naturally less.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period. I am still recruiting people these two days. I will try to fill the vacancies in various positions as the first step to reduce everyone's workload... The next step will be to introduce a shift system."
Shu Mo said this with an apologetic expression.
"——Then you won't have to work so hard, sitting in the office for so long every day without even a day off."
Gu Xiao shook his head frantically: "It's not hard, not hard, not hard at all!"
"How could that be? There are so many guests these days." Shu Mo actually saw it all.
"I'm telling the truth." Gu Xiao said quickly, "Even if I'm a little tired during the day, I can take a hot bath at night and feel refreshed. And recently the employees of the massage parlor are looking for people to practice with, so I can get a free massage almost every night."
If I leave hot springs, where can I find such a good job?
The employees around her are all talented and good at talking. She loves this place very much!
Shu Mo observed her expression and saw that she was truly relaxed, then he laughed.
That morning, all the old employees received generous bonuses. New employees like Jiang Xudong, who were busy due to the surge in visitor traffic caused by the opening of the branch, also received corresponding overtime subsidies.
The whole hotel was filled with joy.
With a fuller wallet, you will naturally work harder.
The morning passed quickly until lunch break, when employees gathered together as usual to eat with familiar colleagues.
"Woohoo, she's so nice!"
"I want to work for her forever..."
"What kind of godly boss is this!"
In a corner of the restaurant, Gu Xiao, Liu Xueruo, and several new young female employees hugged each other and cried.
"In my 20 years of life, I never thought that there would be such a beautiful and gentle rich woman in the world." Gu Xiao wiped his tears and confessed affectionately, "And such a rich sister would actually spend her money on me...ah, how could I be so worthy!"
"Although, the boss seems to be younger than you..."
"And the combat power is also very strong."
Liu Xueruo said.
"I asked Brother Yao last time, and he said that there is no summoner in the entire Guangming Town who can subdue the Mimic."
When this topic was brought up, Yao Yonghui also looked very secretive, and obviously did not want to discuss Shu Mo's strength too much.
This mysterious reaction actually aroused people's curiosity even more.
If you think about it, it is true.
At least they could see Yao Yonghui's strength. From the damage he usually inflicted, they could calculate his approximate attack power - for Liu Xueruo, that was already an unattainable number.
But Shu Mo gives people an even more mysterious feeling. He is always so calm and approachable, yet he seems like the big boss behind the whole hotel.
Liu Xueruo came back to her senses, put on a stern face and made a summary with a serious expression.
"In short, the boss's strength must be unfathomable. It's not just as simple as being rich, beautiful, and having a good personality."
Several girls put their heads together and exclaimed in unison when they heard this.
"Oh my god, I love you even more…"
*
Without Shu Mo knowing, the legend about her had quietly spread in the hotel.
On the other side, in Guangming Town.
In the tallest building in the center of the town, the room with the door marked "Reception Room" was decorated magnificently. Two middle-aged men sat at either end of a long table.
One of them was wearing silver-white battle armor, and the other was wearing a white priest robe. The wide robe concealed the bloated body underneath. They laughed from time to time while talking.
"Mayor!"
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the house. The captain rushed in hurriedly. When he saw the man sitting next to the armored man, he slammed on the brakes and stopped.
"President Liu."
He suppressed the joy on his brows, lowered his eyes, and greeted seriously.
Unexpectedly, the president of the Senior Priests Association happened to be here chatting with the mayor, and the leader was a little embarrassed.
"I haven't seen you for a while. Are you leading the team out again?" The man in the priest's robe was naturally smiling and seemed approachable when he spoke. He asked slowly, "It seems that you brought back good news."
When the team leader heard this, his heart tightened and he looked at the mayor quietly.
The man sitting on the other side of the long table nodded slightly, "It doesn't matter, President Liu is one of us, you say it."
"OK."
The team leader looked serious.
"There are three things to report this time. First, the S-rank boss rock giant in the swamp has been successfully killed. A total of four team members were killed in this battle, and the pensions have been distributed to their families."
“Four people…” The mayor sighed, “The death toll is much less than I thought. The area where the rock giant is located is one we have not set foot in yet. Its strength should be much stronger than the bosses we encountered before. This mission is not easy, and you have completed it quite well.”
The team leader said nothing.
When fighting against elite monsters that he has never encountered before, he will face many unimaginable dangerous situations. Even if he is extremely careful when commanding, it is still difficult to avoid such casualties.
No one would blame him for this. On the contrary, the mayor even praised him for doing a good job.
...Only the team leader himself knew that what really made him regretful and difficult to let go was the four players who all died in the first two weeks.
Since they started ordering food from Nuan Nuan Hot Spring, their team has never lost a member.
In addition to boosting morale, the various buffs brought by the meals also played a powerful role in battle.
Therefore, when the team leader was compiling the list of deaths later, he couldn't help but think about it.
If, if he had known about the existence of Nuannuan Hot Spring earlier, how great would it be?
If Nuannuan Hot Spring had appeared in the game a few years earlier, wouldn’t he have lost so many comrades?
…But there’s no point in thinking about this any further.
At least from now on in the battles, this hot spring and the magical items it sells will keep them safe.
The sense of loss flashed across his mind, and the team leader pulled himself together and continued his report.
"The second thing is that the road leading to the Monster Bird Stone mine has been completely cleared. Our people have built a simple mining base near the mine. The town's personnel can set out in the next two days."
Without the huge obstacle of the rock giant, clearing the road didn't take much effort at all. It was just a matter of killing the other monsters in the swamp. In just half a day, they had smoothly created a passage in and out.
As for the "manpower" of the town mentioned by the team leader, it is actually a team composed of life players who specialize in mining.
With them around, the efficiency of mining the demon sparrow stone will be much higher.
In addition to the combat team responsible for land reclamation, Guangming Town also has several official teams like this one, which are specifically responsible for mining, gathering, forging and pharmaceutical work.
All members are life players with corresponding skills and superb craftsmanship.
Although these players do not have much combat power, their importance in the game is no less than that of combat players. Advanced mining and gathering talents can not only greatly improve efficiency, but also have a certain chance of increasing output, obtaining more ores and herbs in mines and herb fields of the same area.
Not to mention the blacksmithing and pharmaceutical talents - well-made equipment and high-quality potions are hard currency everywhere in the game.
The best of them can even receive hundreds of points in compensation for a single order.
These people come to work for the government, usually with some kind of community service nature, and they actually don't need any numbers at all. Usually, as long as they stay at home and make some equipment and medicines, they can earn a large processing fee, and their life is much more comfortable than those people who work hard outside.
Especially one guy who stood out...
The team leader's thoughts had unconsciously gone astray.
It was the mayor's voice that pulled him back, "Got it, I'll send them out tomorrow."
"You have completed this mission very well." He smiled. "I have approved the funding you applied for. You can take your team members to have a good rest in the next period of time."
The team leader immediately realized that the funds the mayor was referring to were for treating all team members to a hot spring vacation.
He suppressed his excitement and said, "Thank you, Mayor!"
"But, you just said there were three things?" President Liu spoke up at this time, puzzled, "This is only two."
The team leader paused. He originally didn't want to mention the last thing in front of President Liu, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so thick-skinned to listen to it all the way through, and even took the initiative to ask questions. He really had no choice but to say, "Yes, and this third thing is a great thing."
"oh?"
"We went out this time and met a mysterious master."
Because there were outsiders present, the team leader considered and concealed some details, "He provided us with the coordinates of three large mineral veins."
“?!”
The mayor stood up in a flash, his face no longer showing the calmness he had just shown, and blurted out, "What did you say?"
"Three? Large ones?" Chairman Liu at the side could not hide his shock. He was stunned for a while. "This, this... Old Xu, I want to congratulate you in advance."
After he finished speaking, he saw the mayor's eyes looking at him, "Old Liu, let's make another appointment to discuss today's matter."
President Liu realized the meaning of seeing the guest off, and his smile froze for a moment. Then he stood up and said with a hearty smile: "It's okay, it's not a big deal anyway. I'll leave first and we'll talk next time when we have the chance."
The moment the door closed, the mayor looked back at the leader, his eyes bursting with genuine joy, "Is what you just said true?"
"Tell me exactly what's going on. Oh, and what kind of ores are in those three mines?"
Guangming Town now has a mine of Monster Bird Stone, and its output is enough to supply the town's consumption for at least one year, so the demand for Monster Bird Stone is not that great.
If the type of ore provided by the other party is the same as the existing one, although it is also an unexpected gain, the sense of surprise will be much smaller.
How could the team leader not know what the mayor was thinking? He smiled and said, "It's the mines of Ice Soul Stone, Thunder Stone and Earth Essence Stone. It is said that the scale is no smaller than the one of Monster Sparrow Stone we found."
The mayor was stunned by this huge surprise.
He was stunned for a long while. "Who is that expert? He just gave us such a precious thing?"
Leader: “…”
Is this because I am too happy and have started dreaming?
He would never dare to say such a complaint to his boss, so he could only say awkwardly: "Of course... there are conditions."
Mayor: “…”
He coughed lightly, and his reason returned, "That's right."
"Then tell me, what are the conditions?"
The team leader was even more embarrassed.
No matter what the conditions were, he had already agreed to them. At this moment, it's really just a pure report.
However, seeing the mayor's absent-minded look, which was similar to the naive look he had when he listened to Mo Bai's talk, the captain finally felt balanced.
It seems that his performance at that time was not too shameful.
After all, it would be hard for anyone to remain calm after hearing such news, right?
He then told the mayor in detail the conditions proposed by Mo Bai, "...50-50 split, plus 10% of the Monster Sparrow Stone, do you think it's okay? If not, I'll go and negotiate again."
"Sure! Why not!" The mayor agreed without hesitation, "Those are three large mineral veins! And they are all different types!"
Perhaps because he felt that the conditions were completely acceptable, he breathed a sigh of relief and regarded the three mineral veins as Guangming Town's possession, his eyes shining with excitement.
"Okay, from now on we are also a town with four mines... Let's see what those guys in Longyan Town can use to show off in front of me? We still have Earth Essence Stone and Thunder Stone, which are ores that are in short supply in several surrounding towns. I wonder how many precious materials we can exchange for them!"
He felt a sense of relief.
After finally calming down, the mayor gave the order: "Don't wait until tomorrow. Lead the team now and escort the miners to the Monster Sparrow Stone Mine. Deliver the first batch of ore as soon as possible. Don't keep them waiting for too long."
"besides……"
