What? Shi Jiu was stunned for a moment. He quickly opened his tablet and saw that the experience points had not only reached 50,000, but were also slowly rising.
"Upgraded... or... a small town?" Shi Jiu said somewhat mechanically. It was just upgraded this morning, and it was upgraded again so soon. Would the guests find it too weird?
Unconsciously, she murmured out what was in her heart.
Qin Lou, who was sitting nearby, had a strange expression on his face and couldn't help but speak up. "Boss, if they thought this was strange, they would have spoken up long ago. Even if you were to take to the skies and cause trouble, they'd think your ability was something peculiar. Besides, they'd probably be privately speculating about what it was."
He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the speculations he'd heard from the people in City A today. "Those people in City A even speculated that you, Boss, are cultivating immortality. This world doesn't belong to this world, so the fields and water sources aren't affected by the outside world."
After hearing this, Shi Jiu felt that it was a bit outrageous, but when he thought about it carefully, it didn't seem strange in the end times.
"This guess is quite reasonable. It will give me an excuse in the future. Cultivating immortals or something like that sounds very impressive!"
After finishing her joke, Shi Jiu immediately went to find out the reason for the rapid upgrade. She hadn't done anything before. She just gave a few things to... Yan Yue during the meal?
That’s right! The only change was with Yan Yue. She immediately called him, but the phone rang several times before it was connected.
"Boss! Your idea is great! They're all lining up to register now, and we're halfway there. And quite a few people are buying the phones right away when they see them in the vending machines. The subsequent promotional effect will be fantastic!"
Originally, when Yan Yue took over the membership machines and the self-service vending machines that specialized in selling mobile phones, he wanted to have his subordinates register and buy one first so that he could promote them well. However, not long after he put them out on the open space, those people immediately rushed over, registered in no time according to the instructions, and went straight to the mobile phones.
"Little Chief, how do you sell this phone? Do you need registration information to unlock it?"
"Is this expensive? Wow! This phone is so cool! Little leader, do you have a phone like this?"
"What's the point of registering for these memberships? What? I can rent a house directly? Honey! There are even pictures of houses on it, so pretty!"
Yan Yue was demonstrating with his mobile phone and talking about the introduction on the membership machine. He thought it would take some effort, but he didn't expect that they would just listen and run to the machine to register. The line was getting longer and longer, and many people who didn't know what was going on also followed the crowd to line up, not afraid of the cold evening.
The people in front saw that there were still empty rooms for rent. That was the room that Shi Jiu had built at great expense not long ago. Some people saw that there were still quite a few rooms left, but when they thought that they would be leaving tomorrow, they simply paid to rent them first, since they would rent them for a month anyway.
This saves a lot of time, and you can live in the house as soon as you get there.
Most of the people in the first group thought so. After registering, many of them bought mobile phones. After unlocking them, they looked at the building models, task hall, etc. in the villa and felt that it was not bad. So they talked about renting a house to their relatives and friends who had not registered yet.
Word of mouth spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, so most people will choose the room they like when registering, so as to avoid having to handle it on-site after they arrive, which would be so troublesome with a lot of luggage.
That's it. It was when Shi Jiu called that Yan Yue realized that there were so many smart little heads in the base. Now everything can be done in one step. As long as the base is cleaned up tomorrow, he can move in directly.
"Well done! Yan Yue, I will reassign you a job after you come here. Just tell me what you want to do. The benefits will definitely be enough!" After praising Yan Yue, she started preparing to upgrade the villa to level 7 and directly transform it into a small town.
She saw from the preview that the town was three or four times the size of the villa, so she definitely wouldn't have to worry about insufficient space due to excessive crowds in the short term.
[Upgrade Reward: 1 120-square-meter residential area blueprint, unlock the seven-story town main building: 5 executive suites, and add several new rooms on each floor.]
【Unlock more types of factories and shops. 】
[With so many people coming and going, the streets seem to need better planning. Add new roads, traffic lights, and bus stops.]
【Unlock all grades of elementary school and match them with better school specifications.】
【The clinic has been upgraded to a hospital, providing more quality services.】
【New shopping malls and other entertainment venues have been added. 】
[Level 8 Mission: Reach 100,000 people in the town. Current Experience Points: 59,860/100,000]
A series of message prompts popped up. Shi Jiu had just adjusted the layout of the villa last night. He didn't expect to upgrade it again so soon. It seemed that the updated content was not much, so he planned to upgrade and adjust it again in the middle of the night.
I don’t know if the people in City A will regard the transformed town’s situation as some kind of magic after they wake up tomorrow.
After Shi Jiu packed up his things, he went back into the room to find 001.
"001, didn't they say that experience points would only be counted after you move into the villa... or the town? Why is it now..."
When she first learned about the upgrade, she thought there was a bug in the system and that she could take advantage of it.
"Not entirely. If they had simply registered for a membership card, it wouldn't have been counted. But they also paid to rent the house and recorded the people staying there, so the system would naturally count their stay as a success."
After hearing 001's explanation, she suddenly had a bold idea, "What if I hire more employees and have them go out to find customers? Wouldn't that speed up my promotion?"
Although I don't know how high the upgrade limit will be, there are a lot of good things coming out every time I upgrade, so this deal is a good deal.
"But who would travel so far to book a house where they can't even live in it?" 001's words shattered her fantasy.
Yes, the Anhe base is not far away. I guess I will come over tomorrow after renting a house. It’s nothing big, at most I just logged in from a different location.
"Then let's continue to expand. With a larger area, we can accommodate more people, and naturally we can attract people from farther places." The crystal core will be obtained sooner or later.
Shi Jiu faced the reality, imagined the future, and then set up most of the arrangements. After the upgrade, a timing function was added. Now she only needs to set the time, and the entire villa will be upgraded to a small town during that time period without affecting her sleep.
Shi Jiu on this side easily handled the task, but Yan Yue on the other side was exhausted.
After finally dealing with all the matters in the base and issuing general notices, the large team will set off early tomorrow morning. There are still many people in the team who don't want to leave at all, so he will no longer try to persuade them.
Since they wanted to stay in the base, he wouldn't force them. He had said all the things that needed to be said, and adults had to be responsible for their own choices.
The night was hazy. He stood in front of Yan Ping's yard. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the door open.
The lights illuminated the yard on this side. The base still had some residual energy, so there was no problem for the lights to last through the night.
Yan Ping did not drink tea alone in the room as usual, but stood in the yard, looking at the distant sky, and white snowflakes slowly fell on him.
Yan Yue waved his hand to let his subordinates standing by to leave, without saying anything else. The father and son just stood facing each other in silence.
"Yan Qing... has been dealt with, right?" Yan Ping suddenly spoke. He knew very well that Yan Qing had not been dealt with, and the anger in the base would not subside so quickly. It was a pity that he had not seen it with his own eyes. He was really a hopeless guy.
Yan Yue was sensitive to the emotion in Yan Ping's words, "Why, do you really want him to die?"
"After something like this happened, the best solution is for him to die." Yan Ping's mood returned to normal, and he no longer had the anger he had in the afternoon.
"You can have power in the base, but you still have to get past me. After all, I tend to give you face in front of outsiders, but the base doesn't belong to me alone. Even though you accidentally exposed this matter today..."
"It wasn't an accident, I did it on purpose." Yan Yue looked at him and said a lot. He thought that he wanted to usurp the throne and see his ability or something, so he became annoyed and interrupted him directly.
Yan Ping's voice paused, "Intentionally? Yes, very cruel." He turned around and looked straight at Yan Yue.
Yan Yue didn't dodge and met his eyes.
"I came here tonight just to tell you that I have disbanded the base. Tomorrow I will take them away from here and head to the villa."
"What?!" Sure enough, he saw what he wanted to see. Yan Ping was shocked and looked incredulous.
"Are you surprised? I didn't think this place was that great. Being locked up every day, helping you fulfill your dream without you knowing, isn't it tiring?"
Yan Yue stepped forward and said, "I know what you want to do. You just want to be a tyrant, controlling everyone's lives in the apocalypse, standing on top of the clouds, enjoying the feeling of making the clouds and rain with a flip of your hand. But I don't think it's necessary."
"You! You will kill them sooner or later if you keep doing this!" Yan Ping was a little dazed. The base he had worked so hard to build was disbanded just like that?
He knew Yan Yue's character and that he had never lied, but that made him even more unconvinced. He had always thought that Yan Yue was going against him in this way because he essentially wanted to get the base.
"Killed? You are afraid of your own life. Stop using them as a banner. You know what you did behind the scenes!" Yan Yue knew from childhood that his father was not a good person.
In the past, even if he occasionally heard about the things he had done, he would subconsciously whitewash him and give him the halo of his father, as if this could cover up those unbearable things.
But in the past few days, especially after what Yan Qing did, no matter how big the halo was, it could not cover up the evil black light emanating from him.
Yan Ping's face trembled unnaturally when he heard him say this. "You know all this? In this apocalypse, what conscience do you still have?"
He stopped pretending to be profound and gave a sarcastic laugh. "What I do is at least meaningful. What about you? Did you gain any benefits from following that villa?"
"Meaning? For the monies, or the power that's within your reach? Or perhaps you have a perverted hobby in this area? Sadly, you won't get anything."
After Yan Yue finished speaking, he felt that his goal this time had been achieved. He didn't want to say anything else to him. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Yan Ping's furious roar from behind.
"I think you've been wasted. If you leave now, don't acknowledge me as your father. If I give birth to a few more sons in the future, you can just get out of here!"
In the dark night, Yan Yue thought of what his mother said before she passed away, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Yan Ping was startled by his laughter and was a little confused. He thought he was scared and immediately became proud.
"If you apologize to me now, I can still forgive you. Anyway, you are my only son now. When you have a son in the future, everything here will be yours."
She said this, but in her heart she was thinking that if he had a child in the future, she would immediately take the child in and raise him. She must not let the child be as ungrateful as him. If she disobeyed him now, the child would only serve the purpose of continuing the family line.
Yan Yue laughed until tears came out, and it took him a while to stop. He turned around and looked at Yan Ping who was still daydreaming, and couldn't help but burst out with laughter.
"I think you won't be able to have children in the future. We broke up this morning, didn't we? As for my children, forget it. You can expect to have no descendants."
