Side Quests
Ye Miaomiao would never have imagined that within just a few seconds of her posting the recruitment information, the seven vacancies were filled.
She received a message from Zhang Jia's family saying they had boiled lard and asked her to go and try some fried lard. She happily headed towards the cabin when she was stopped by seven men.
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
"We are new applicants for the...iron rice bowl." The leading man had thick eyebrows and big eyes. When he said this, a natural pink color appeared on his wheat-colored skin.
The remaining few people nodded in unison.
Ye Miaomiao: “…” Wake up, you are not bowls, let alone rice bowls.
Moreover, why is he more active in working than her?
Ye Miaomiao wanted to turn around and take them to the fields, but she paused as soon as she stretched out her foot and turned back.
Crispy oil residue, she really wanted to eat crispy oil residue.
"Let's go collect the employee benefits first."
......
It's dinner time now.
Outside the kitchen, a long line of people was queuing up to buy food. The "home-cooked dishes" they had eaten over the past two days were either berry salad or boiled vegetables with some meat. If they were lucky, they could get grilled or smoked meat.
If you eat boiled and raw food all day long, your mouth will feel bland.
"I see the fenced-off fields over there," people in line chatted. "They'll probably be sown soon. I really don't want to eat berries or wild vegetables anymore."
"Berries and wild vegetables are better than nothing."
"Yes, that's right," the man said distressedly, "but..." He was about to speak when his nose suddenly twitched.
I only smelled a strong and strange fragrance coming from my nose, and heard crackling sounds coming from the kitchen.
The aroma had a hint of the muttony smell of pig, but it wasn't overpowering. Instead, the smooth, rich, creamy flavor instantly whetted your appetite.
The man sniffed deeply, and the rich smell seemed to penetrate into his internal organs, instantly moistening his heart, which was almost dry from eating boiled vegetables every day.
“Fried lard!”
Someone in the team swallowed.
"Chef Zhang, have you fried lard today? How long will it take for stir-fried dishes to be sold?" someone in the queue asked.
Zhang Jiajia stuck half of his head out of the kitchen window and brought out a batch of "home-cooked dishes".
Everyone looked at it and saw that it was still berries with boiled meat dishes, and the smell of lard lingering in their noses seemed like an illusion.
"There's not much pork left, only one head. We don't have much oil for frying, and if we divide it up, it's all gone, and it's still not enough," Zhang Jiajia responded. "For now, we'll just supply it to people inside."
That's the truth, but the lard is so fragrant that they can't resist the temptation.
Someone suggested, "Aren't there just you and the lord among you? Why don't you sell some of it? We'll give you some extra points."
"That's right. You don't have many people inside anyway."
"But..." Zhang Jiajia was about to speak when he was interrupted by a weak voice from the other side.
"But... there are still us. We can finish it."
Everyone turned around and saw seven smiling men and women appearing beside them. The one who was speaking was the burly man in the middle with a red face, and his smile was particularly bright.
"Why do you have the right? Line up first!"
"Well...we wanted to queue, but the boss told us to just come over and eat." The sturdy, tanned man scratched his head. "We just got a stable job and don't understand all these rules."
?
Show off, this is naked showing off!
Everyone counted and found exactly seven. Considering the advertisement for recruiting farmers, what else is there to understand?
These seven are the lucky ones who were hired as farmers!
Suddenly, everyone looked at the man with wheat-colored skin and a blushing face with particular displeasure. He was a grown man, why was he still blushing?
"Where's the boss?" Zhang Jiajia handed over a big bowl of fried crispy oil residue.
Everyone's eyes were focused on it until Hu Sanhan took the oil residue, smelled it carefully, and showed an intoxicated expression.
Everyone: Damn it, I can’t stand it anymore.
"Someone is looking for her, so the boss asked us to get it first."
Hu Sanhan was about to leave with the oil residue in his hand when Zhang Jiajia called him back, "Remember to come to dinner on time every day!"
"Okay, Brother Zhang!"
Watching the few people leave with the fragrance, a thin young man murmured, "I almost did it. At that time, I was standing in front of the task board. It should have been me."
"I went out to chop wood today and encountered a monster. I almost died... I don't want to go out again. I also want to stay in the territory and eat and drink well every day..."
The person next to him was puzzled: "Then why aren't you?"
The young man stammered and didn't say anything.
The man sighed, "Indeed, there are monsters in the central area now. We have to be very careful when we go out to chop wood. We dare not go too far, and we have to save our energy at all times to escape."
"Someone has died, Aunt Li's son. Now Aunt Li cries all day long. It's so tragic."
A group of people started gossiping.
In the end, they all sighed and came to the conclusion that they still had to keep their jobs.
......
It is said that Ye Miaomiao was stopped by a man halfway through her walk.
She had thought eating the crispy oil residue was a big deal and wanted to leave. But the man showed what was in his pocket, and immediately Ye Miaomiao took her foot back.
"Who are you..."
"I'm Fang Yan." Fang Yan looked at Ye Miaomiao intently. "I just have one question. Can you help us get through the customs?"
Ye Miaomiao was confused. What was the problem?
She affirmed, "Of course."
"good."
Fang Yan took out the things in his pocket without hesitation and handed it to Ye Miaomiao.
It was a dark blue drawing. Although it was only half, its complexity far exceeded all the drawings Ye Miaomiao had obtained so far.
The moment the drawing was touched, a system message popped up.
Congratulations on obtaining the side quest - The Will of the Dwarves.
[Quest Content: The dwarves are natural blacksmiths, possessing nimble hands and feet and immense strength, and have long occupied the summit of the canyon. Unfortunately, when God cast His Finger, the dwarf leader was absent, leaving the poor dwarves abandoned.
A group of God's people from the swamp have set their sights on the dwarves. After a century of invasion, the dwarves are in dire straits. Please rescue the dwarven prince, repair the forge blueprints, and continue the will of the dwarves.
[Quest Reward: 600 points, Iron Forge Blueprint, Dwarf Prince x 1]
Ye Miaomiao: “!” Shocked!
A coordinate instantly appeared on her system map. It was located in the central public area, and there was a blood-red countdown "60:00" on it.
It's actually a forge! Ironware!
This means that once the mission is completed, various iron tools will appear in the territory, and the territory will rise from the primitive age to the cold weapon age. This is more than just progressing one level, it almost exceeds the normal game development speed!
Ye Miaomiao said solemnly: "This is so important, how can I thank you?"
Fang Yan said succinctly: "I have helped."
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
It took her a while to realize that "already helped" meant: if she could successfully lead everyone through the game.
Ye Miaomiao: “…” What kind of help is this?
She frowned and racked her brains to find a gift of equal value to the "drawings" to give back.
Fang Yan continued, "I saw a cave when I passed by. Entering the cave should be the mission point. The dwarves... the enemies are at least the descendants of the second-level gods. Do you need my help?"
As he spoke, he shared his personal dashboard. In the personal occupation column, in addition to "tramp", there were four surprising golden characters - "bounty hunter".
Ye Miaomiao: “!” Shocked again!
It turned out to be a bounty hunter!
This profession is extremely rare, and territories cannot even create it proactively, because only those who are born with high attack power, high agility, and high strength have the opportunity to choose this profession.
"Can I help?"
Ye Miaomiao: “…” Of course I can, and I can beat three people at once.
but...
She can't afford it.
Bounty Hunters, as their name suggests, required hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of points at a time. She had just bought a piece of land, and the few coins in her pocket jingled as she ran.
silence.
When Ye Miaomiao was struggling to explain, she saw Hu Sanhan and others walking towards her happily, holding a handful of crispy oil residue in their hands as if they were presenting treasures.
Ye Miaomiao: Very good, she came just in time. I could hear her saying that she was too poor to hire anyone.
"I actually..."
Ye Miaomiao was about to speak when she saw the person in front of her stiffly say, "Hasn't it been heard that there's such a thing as a stable job?"
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
Is there anyone who volunteers to get a stable job?
After hearing Fang Yan's words, Hu Sanhan and others stopped cautiously and looked Fang Yan up and down: You came so quickly?
"You mean..." Ye Miaomiao looked at Fang Yan with complicated eyes. Since the master was willing to take the initiative to be hired, she was of course happy to accept: "Of course, but..."
"That's fine." Fang Yan's stiff muscles relaxed.
His nose twitched, and he turned his head to see Hu Sanhan carefully holding the crispy oil residue and pinching a few pieces. "Set a time and call me in advance. I will be there on time. And... you'd better find a few more people."
Ye Miaomiao: "Don't worry, I understand without you saying anything."
Seeing Fang Yan walking away, the boss was still staring at him, and Hu Sanhan suddenly felt sad.
That guy was really handsome, with long arms and legs, like a movie star, no wonder the boss agreed. Unlike him, he was all black, had thick eyebrows, and when he smiled, he showed eight teeth... In short, he was not handsome.
Hu Sanhan: Pretty boy!
He has to keep a close eye on it and not let the boss get cheated.
He gathered himself together and smiled, "Boss, we've brought the food."
The group ate as they walked, and finally sat down on the edge of the field. Ye Miaomiao took two mouthfuls of the food with great relish. It had a rich, crunchy aroma, and at the end there was still some soft ligament left.
She suddenly thought of something, turned on the screen and sent a message to Zhang Jiajia.
"Boss, what's the matter?" Hu Sanhan asked.
"Ask Zhang Jiajia to send some to Fang Yan."
Hu Sanhan: Even more sour.
A handful of crispy oil residue was actually quite a lot, but with eight people taking turns eating one, we finished it quickly. Especially in the apocalypse, there weren't many opportunities to eat this kind of food.
Ye Miaomiao clapped her hands: "Then let's get to work. Do any of you know how to farm?"
Hu Sanhan quickly looked around to see if anyone in the group of seven was talking, feeling nervous.
Even though I don't know anything, I got a job opportunity and started working. How do I feel?
Seeing that no one spoke, Ye Miaomiao was not surprised.
After all, according to the game's regional divisions, her geographical location is in the city center, and there is really no place around where proper farming can be done, so where would the farmers come from?
Ye Miaomiao pointed at the land: "There are eight plots in total. What you plant is written on them. After all, the game is not real. All you have to do is plant the crops, water them every day, and harvest on the seventh day."
"Harvest once every seven days, and the harvest will be automatically entered into the warehouse and counted. Your base salary will be calculated based on 700 resources harvested every seven days. For every 20 resources harvested above 700, 1 point will be calculated."
"Of course, if we don't reach 700, we will deduct one point for every 10 copies missing."
700 copies are the results of the first-level planting NPC. As long as these players start farming, the planting level will be improved quickly and the harvest will increase rapidly, so as long as they are serious, they will definitely not be deducted money.
"As for the tools, once you start working, Tool Person One will automatically equip you with them. Just pick them up tomorrow. Is that okay?"
After Ye Miaomiao's explanation, the seven people nodded like chicks pecking at rice, and said that they would definitely practice [Basic Planting] quickly.
You have to practice even if you can't improve.
10 points a day, not counting three meals a day and commission, the treatment is really unimaginably good. No wonder it is said that the end of the universe is the establishment.
Hu Sanhan happily squatted on the ground and stroked his dirt: "Baby, come on, I'll rely on you from now on."
