Everything that just happened was planned in advance by Xia Chuhe and the mechanical boy.
When Xia Chuhe first met the boy, he discussed four things with him.
The first thing was to give her support. The mechanical boy's respect and power served to highlight Xia Chuhe's even greater strength.
So far, the results are very good.
The second thing is about the trial card.
Xia Chuhe could abandon what they had agreed on and change it to an amusement park experience card.
The items in the Food and Amusement Park aren't real; they're simulated energy created by the boy. Issuing experience cards is equivalent to consuming energy. As more people enter the Food and Amusement Park to tell stories, the boy has accumulated a lot of energy, and giving some back to Xia Chuhe isn't a big deal.
So the boy had already agreed to it. He was just mentioning it casually during the performance.
The third thing is to find a pretext for dealing with land issues.
The so-called "land to be allocated to you in a few days" was actually land that Xia Chuhe was preparing to take from the farm. With the guise of a gourmet amusement park, no one would associate it with Xia Chuhe's supernatural abilities.
By speaking discreetly and only letting Li Qiusheng and Bu Yi hear it, and then using words like "seed" later, they could better stimulate the imaginations of others. Once the new recruits returned and spread the word about what happened today, the land issue would be considered settled.
However, Xia Chuhe was still somewhat surprised by the boy's quick agreement.
Xia Chuhe recalled the boy's reaction upon hearing this, and felt a momentary lapse in memory, as if his CPU had burned out...
Perhaps the boy is hiding something too.
The fourth thing was to ask the boy if he had a mechanical device that could read the chip.
If he had one, he could "buy" one and take it out for Xiao Ai to use. Unfortunately, the boy didn't have one.
After finishing their business, the two discussed the promising future of the food and amusement park, expressed their delight at the mutually beneficial cooperation, and, having completed the social formalities, Xia Chuhe took his leave.
The mechanical boy then produced the original pile of mangoes, sweet potatoes, bay leaves, cinnamon, and Sichuan peppercorns.
"I didn't give anything in return, but I'll still give you what we agreed on."
Xia Chuhe did not refuse.
As the legion expands, so will its consumption. The farm currently has enough resources, but we need to find more ways to generate revenue as soon as possible to achieve a positive cycle.
...
After leaving the food amusement park and returning to Taotie City, Xia Chuhe first dealt with Li Zhuang's matter.
She didn't need to do anything herself to deal with a low-ranking soldier; Wang Yan handled that for her.
According to regulations, unauthorized actions will be subject to punishment.
“Acting without authorization and disrespecting your superiors. You are to be punished with one hundred lashes and ten days of hard labor. Do you accept this?” Wang Yan asked.
Li Zhuang lowered his thick neck, his burly body surprisingly showing a hint of meekness: "I submit."
He was truly convinced; having a powerful and benevolent lord was something he couldn't ask for. Under Lord Xia's leadership, Taotie City would surely flourish, and he and his teammates who had come to join him would have a strong ally.
It's much better to find out the situation early than to be forced to cut losses after investing a lot of money.
Li Zhuang, being the leader, received a relatively heavier punishment. The other two unruly recruits also received thirty lashes and were to do three days of hard labor.
The military baton strikes on the evolved individuals do not cause much harm. Their primary purpose is as a warning and punishment.
As for doing hard labor, it actually meant building the Taotie City.
The Gluttonous City is still being dug up...
In the food and amusement park, the scene of Xia Chuhe ordering the mechanical teenagers was embellished by Li Zhuang and others and told to the new recruits, which made many people with impure thoughts much more obedient.
Bu Yi also quickly wrote a draft and showed it to Xia Chuhe.
The draft embellished the story of the group's arduous journey into Story Paradise, highlighting the mechanical boy's strength and the group's indomitable struggle, and amplifying the hardships of building the food and amusement park...
Xia Chuhe finished reading the draft with great delight, pointing and pointing: "Here, here... you should revise it like this..."
That evening, on the Tianya forum, an anonymous post with the "Hot" and "Featured" tags attracted tens of thousands of views.
In the post, the story of Bu Yi and Li Yue teaming up to fight the scumbag boyfriend turned into an endless loop of library ghost stories; Xia Chuhe and Bao'er's eating, drinking and playing turned into a second-dimensional horror; Lu Dangui and Zhu Guanshan's Mary Sue movie turned into a monster gathering in a deep mountain villa; and Li Qiusheng and Wang Yan's melodramatic love play turned into a fog theater disguised as a wealthy family feud.
In short, the dungeon before it transforms into a food and amusement park looks quite dangerous.
The good life we enjoy now was earned by the city lord and the guild leaders who risked their lives.
...
While disciplining the disobedient recruits, Li Yue had already received a bunch of cheap watches with personal information attached.
These watches come from various sources, mostly left behind by people who died in dungeons. Some people specifically enter dungeons to search for corpses and collect these items.
123 helped process the information and photos on the watch for Li Yue's use.
After obtaining the watch, Li Yue, Li Qiusheng, Zhu Guanshan, and Wang Yan immediately followed the original plan: three of them infiltrated the Cape Base, while one of them waited outside the base to provide backup.
Upon entering the Cape Base and locating the trading area, Wang Yan went straight to the Five Star Company branch, secretly observing the people coming and going. Li Yue and Li Qiusheng traveled together, one in the open and the other in the shadows, trying to identify the canaries hidden within the Cape Base.
Li Yue quickly narrowed it down to two stores: a food store and a clothing store. The managers of both stores didn't seem aggressive and didn't appear to be capable of holding onto their businesses.
To increase the accuracy of her judgment, Li Yue used her special ability. The presence of large areas of a single color in the food store indicated a large quantity of food, but a limited variety. The clothing store, on the other hand, had a smaller quantity of food, but a wider variety.
Li Yue's toes darted toward the clothing store, and she tapped three times seemingly casually.
This was the signal she and Li Qiusheng had agreed upon; the direction her toes pointed was the direction of the cage, where a canary was kept.
Although Guan Wuji is incompetent, he is quite generous and will never let Canary lack food and drink. It's abnormal for a clothing store to have more food options than a grocery store.
After confirming this, Li Yue did not leave as planned, but instead went to a small hotel and booked a room.
She sent private messages to Wang Yan and Li Qiusheng on the forum: 【I suddenly have another plan, do you want to listen to it?】
