Although the people who followed him to "Star Hope" were free labor, Bai Li would not be unscrupulous and defraud them of the proper treatment. He originally planned to give them the same salary as the 1,500 people in the military and the Imperial Research Institute (this amount would definitely be higher, not lower), but when he brought it up, he was rejected by almost everyone.
The Sky Fox Clan: "No! We don't want it. Lili, we are from the same family. Why would we ask for money to help our family? Besides, we are not short of money."
This is indeed true. The Sky Fox clan's industries are spread throughout the empire, and the money they earn every year is an astronomical figure. In addition, the clan has always been united, and these industries are all distributed among capable clan members. Therefore, the people in the clan are indeed not short of money.
Bai Li could accept this reason. Thinking that he could compensate them in other ways in the future, he looked at the other groups of people and said, "What about you? You can't be short of money, right?"
The other five tribesmen said: “…” They also wanted to say that, but they couldn’t say it in front of the wealthy Sky Fox tribe.
Wen Xingyao looked at the timid expressions of the Fire Wing Lion Clan and felt as if he had guessed the answer. He opened his mouth to explain for them, but after thinking for a while, he closed it. His current identity was a family member, not a parent. If these little guys wanted anything, they could just go and tell them.
The large group of people who were sent here did not expect Wen Xingyao to play any role in this. Not long after, someone in the crowd weakly raised his hand and asked in a low voice: "Li Li, can we have the right to purchase a game quota? You just name a price and allow us to pay for it!"
Wow, none of them actually got a spot in the game. After asking the people of the Sky Fox Clan, I learned that even if this group of people didn't get a spot, they took advantage of being from the same clan as Li Li and actually got a spot in the game on the day Li Li arrived at "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Star"...
The gap between orcs is so huge!
Thinking of this, the people from the five tribes all showed sad and angry expressions.
So it's for game quotas... Bai Li nodded in understanding and said readily, "Then I will just change the reward for helping me farm into game quotas. You don't have to ask whether you want to buy it or not. I'll just give it to you directly."
It was one thing that he still had a large number of game quotas on hand, and another thing... Bai Li always had a hunch that in the future, insufficient game quotas would not be a big problem that troubled the people of the interstellar.
This was really a pleasant surprise. Although they felt a little bad, no one was willing to refuse this big pie that fell from the sky. After happily thanking Bai Li and getting their place in the game, they all made up their minds that they must work hard to help Bai Li cultivate more land and plant more vegetables when they reach their destination!
With a place in the game, they can enter the game to experience it, combining theory with practice, and there is no need to worry about not completing this task.
After arriving, Bai Li did not assign tasks directly. He only asked everyone to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment first, and if they had time, they could go to the "seniors" to discuss relevant farming experiences, and then start their formal farming life in two days.
He was still the manager of the Sky Fox Clan. While Bai Li and his companions were away, he was asked by Bai Li to find places suitable for farming on the entire "Star Hope". Now that the mission was completed, he presented dozens of good places he had found to Bai Li for him to choose.
Bai Li was overjoyed. After inspecting these places one by one, he chose one of them as the second site for reclamation. As for the rest, he would keep them for now and make arrangements slowly when more people came.
After making his choice, Bai Li ran to the highest point of "Star Hope" and looked down at this green planet from above. Ambitions began to rise in his heart. One day, he would plant vegetables in every corner of this planet!
They arrived at "Star of Hope" on May 14, and the next day was the day for the "Harvest Festival" event. Bai Li informed everyone with a game account that they could take a break for a few days, and arranged for people to be on duty next to the vegetable field and set up shift rules. Others should play games and not miss this month's event. He himself was pulled into the game by Wen Xingyao, who couldn't wait any longer.
This event was simple, but also difficult, or rather complicated. Crops, fruits, fish, livestock, Bai Li didn't care whether the players' levels were appropriate or not, and simply and roughly stipulated that players could submit one of each type to participate in the "Harvest Festival" competition.
Livestock should be the least in number, with only chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows and horses. The later you go, the harder it is to upgrade your character level. Players who have stables at home have only appeared in the "Mushroom Village".
Except for the former, the number of species of the other three is 30 or more, and there are hundreds of crops and fish. Players can choose to submit the ones they are confident in, or cast a wide net and submit one of each. Maybe one of them will suddenly become a surprise?
The event will continue for three full days, and the timing of submitting results is also very important. No matter what, no player will submit what they have so early.
What a joke! There’s only one chance for each, so of course you have to choose the biggest and heaviest one!
So what they are doing now is to ask around the whole village about the weight of the "agricultural products" prepared by others, such as wheat, corn, peanuts, rice, apples, pears, oranges, watermelons, grass carp, carp, perch, pomfret, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, horses, etc.
Some people even started a business of selling scales. After all, how can observation with the naked eye be as accurate and reassuring as real data?
Players Market.
"Take a look. Hey, with inspiration from ancient books, there are several sizes of beam scales and platform scales. You can weigh everything from the lightest wheat to the heaviest fat pig. The quantity is limited, so the first to act will win. You can also form a group with friends and family to buy a whole set!"
"Scales for rent, only 50 coppers per time! I bought things from the neighbor and accidentally bought the largest size. Friends who want to weigh pigs, cows, and horses, come quickly. It only costs 50 coppers, and you can find out how your pigs, cows, and horses are inferior to others!"
"The balance gravity game is here. If you have two similar things and you're not sure which one to choose, you can come and compare them here. The accuracy is guaranteed, and it only costs 50 copper coins each time~"
In addition to the busy weighing activities, the market also has...
As soon as Bai Li and Wen Xingyao reached the entrance of the market, they were pulled into a corner by someone who suddenly jumped out.
The person who held them back had the game ID "Autumn Wind Sweeping Fallen Leaves". Bai Li had a good memory and remembered that he was the first player to buy the "vegetable basket". To this day, the game forum still retains the photo of him eating "Beggar's Chicken" with a ferocious face.
Qiu Feng Sao Luo Ye had never expected that he would attract the biggest customer of the game for the first time. He was shocked to see that it was Bai Li and Wen Xingyao. He smiled awkwardly at them and wanted to pretend that he had attracted the wrong people, but somehow he blurted out the "customer-attracting" words that he had prepared long ago:
"Li Li, come on... Um, Master Yaoxing, do you want to win the final victory of this event? Do you want to know the specific data that your competitors are going to submit? Just give me a membership fee of 50 gold, and you can join our 'Data Alliance'. All the data we collect will be open to you. Or if you want to specify the agricultural product data of participating players, we can also help you investigate. 50 gold can't buy you any loss or deception, but it can protect your ranking in the event. How about opening two orders?"
Bai Li's eyes widened in shock. "Wait, what are you doing? What is the 'Data Alliance'... Is there a need for such an organization in this game?"
He has synchronized the values of all the props in the game to the official website of the game. Even if you are a new player who has never played "You Ran Tian Ju", you can have a certain understanding of the various props in the game by browsing the official website's information station before entering the game.
"Of course we need it!" Qiu Feng Sao Luo Ye was no longer nervous as he had been at the beginning. Hearing this, he smiled and pointed to several locations in the market, saying, "Our alliance was established for this event. Where there is demand, there will be a market. Li Li, look, those people squatting in the corner with small notebooks copying things are members of our alliance. They are responsible for collecting data in the player market. There are other members spread all over every corner of the village, also using various methods to collect these weight data. With this data, paying members can easily know whether the crops they prepare are up to standard."
"Three days is enough time for everyone to make changes and decisions."
Following the guidance of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, Bai Li also saw those players, two of whom he could name. He felt a little amused, thinking that the villagers were really good at thinking like this. And this really deserves the name "Alliance". Not only their "Mushroom Village" has such a phenomenon, but other villages have also not escaped it.
Although he thought this operation was quite fun, Bai Li was confident in his ability, so he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it. Afterwards, he and Qiu Feng Sao Luo Ye looked at Wen Xingyao standing next to him to see what he was planning.
Feeling two different gazes being cast on him at the same time, Wen Xingyao, who had a thoughtful expression on his face, suddenly froze. He carefully put away his eagerness and calmly refused, "I don't need it either."
Although it's a bit of a pity, he can make up for this shortcoming by spending a lot of money.
"Ah... Is that so? You all don't want it..." Qiufengsaoluye sighed regretfully, but did not continue to pester them. After saying goodbye to the two of them, he ran to the corner to wait for a new target.
Bai Li and his companion started to visit the players' market. They not only bought the last complete set of beam scale + platform scale combination, but also bought kinds of agricultural products that they did not have from other players' stalls.
"So, why don't these crops have direct weight displays?" Wen Xingyao glanced at the scales in the backpack, his tone quite puzzled.
"Isn't this good?" Bai Li smiled. "There is no weight display, but the players have found the method of making a scale from ancient books. After weighing, the weight of the agricultural products will be marked. How practical it is."
Even if the players had not invented it, he actually placed prop scales of different shapes in treasure chests hidden in various places on the map during the event, so he was not afraid that players would not be able to fully enjoy this "Harvest Festival" event.
Wen Xingyao nodded as if he understood, and after finalizing the purpose of this trip, he took Bai Li's hand and started walking towards home.
He was going to feed the pigs another batch of premium pig feed.
