Late at night, most people huddled in their warm beds and fell into sweet dreams. Even the people in City A, who were originally nervous, fell into a drowsy sleep after taking a comfortable hot bath. Shi Jiu was still working hard on the plan.
"This... leave it here. You can issue tasks... No, you can recruit workers."
001 is a system that does not need to sleep. It will only hibernate for a while to maintain energy. Considering that it has been dormant for a while before, Shi Jiu now trades enough crystal cores on a daily basis and does not need to hibernate for the time being.
So he just watched Shi Jiu working hard, and the data in the main brain fluctuated. He didn't expect that his luck was so good to meet a responsible host. He often heard the elders say that if you are unlucky and meet some weird hosts, then the mission will have no evaluation at all and it will be in vain.
001 covered his skin. He thought he would be able to upgrade when he returned this time. It would be worth all the effort he put in...
"001, I'll have to trouble you to help me with some data processing tomorrow~" Shi Jiu finally freed himself from the tablet and pinched his sore shoulders. It was already one o'clock in the morning.
Lying on the side of the bed, looking at the faintly glowing flowers on 001's body.
"Hey, 001, your colorful light seems to be brighter now?" Wasn't it still a dull gray before?
001 waved its lithe branches. "Because we've been consuming a lot more crystal cores lately, and the villa has been upgraded, the mission is progressing very quickly."
Speaking of missions, Shi Jiu recalled the original goal, which was to obtain all the crystal cores. In that case, would the villas be spread all over the country? Is this really possible?
"Can all the crystal cores in this world really be collected?" Late at night, when people are sleepy, they are always less energetic than during the day, and their mood will become more melancholy with the arrival of night.
She has been in this world for more than half a month and has met many people. She used to treat this mission as a game, like landing in another world and completing it among a group of people she didn't know.
But after so many days of operation, she got to know a lot of people, whether they were employees, initial customers or survivors who came later because of its reputation.
They are alive in this world, they will worry about traveling outside in the end times, and they will struggle forward as they think about how to save their own lives.
Even though they are afraid in front of zombies and sad when their loved ones are infected, they will eventually try their best to find a place to survive and live on with the hope of their loved ones and friends.
In the villa, she rarely saw them sighing or complaining. Instead, they were actively looking for ways to make their lives better, in the restaurant, in the fields, and even during missions.
Now that I suddenly think of it, I wonder if they will wake up in their dreams at midnight and recall the beauty of the ordinary days in the past.
"Host, you have to believe in yourself." 001 landed on the bedside table beside the bed. At this moment, the emoticons in the pistil all looked like "Come on!". It rummaged around in its main brain and checked the progress of the current task.
"Just keep working hard, and things will work out in the end."
When Shi Jiu heard what it said, he was stunned, "001, it's awkward for you to say that!"
She stretched out her hand and grabbed it with a smile. She now understood that 001 was the boss in name but was actually just a supervisor of the work.
"Why is it awkward? I learned this from you guys!"
001 was not convinced. He said that when the entire mission reaches a certain point, the relevant functions will naturally be unlocked. Isn’t this an explanation of the proverb?
It's a pity that it can't reveal the relevant words, otherwise the main brain will judge that it helped the host cheat in the task, and it also doesn't want to be deducted points during the settlement!
Watching Shi Jiu half-close his eyes and gradually fall asleep, it didn't say anything more, and its low muttering echoed in the room.
"You'll know when the time comes..."
The next morning
Although Shi Jiu arranged people to be on duty, she would still let them go back to rest for a few hours. With systematic monitoring, she didn't have to worry about anything happening. More importantly, she had to upgrade in the middle of the night.
At this time, the people who got up discovered that there seemed to be something different about the villa.
How come the area is so much bigger?!
When most people look out from the balcony of their rooms, they feel that the boundaries of the villa seem to be much farther away.
Under normal circumstances, the main building is in the middle, with a long and spacious street on both sides. Shijiu had previously placed the system's shops on this street. Extending to both sides are the completed apartment buildings and dormitory buildings, all of which have their gates facing the main building.
Looking outside now, it is not only much bigger, but also occupies tens of thousands of acres in total area. There are several large buildings behind the main building, which looks like... a factory?
"Hello, hello, did you see that over there this morning? It looks like a factory!" This person had just woken up and immediately found a friend to share the information after seeing it.
"You didn't even check your phone? It says it all over there, hiring! There are so many factories, raw material factories, feed factories, daily chemical factories, electrical appliance factories, and automobile factories. Each factory is hiring thousands of people!"
"Not only that! They've even opened a kindergarten and elementary school. Although they're only accepting students up to third grade for now, it's still great. My child finally has a place to go."
There was an auntie next to them who was very happy because she had no place to leave her children at home. It was not safe for everyone to look after them at home, so she had to take them to the fields every day to work with them.
Now it’s good, the child finally has a place to go.
"Hey! I see they're hiring teachers and cleaners over there. Maybe I can try being a cleaner."
"The workload has also increased! It seems that the previous apartment building is almost finished. What about the 90-square-meter residential area? This one is definitely suitable for a family to live together!"
Some people also pay special attention to housing-related issues, as housing always concerns the minds of many people.
Shi Jiu discovered in the middle of the night that dormitories and the like could be built with a systematic arrangement, which would be much faster, but residential buildings would not only take longer but also be very expensive to build with a complete system, so she chose the previous method of paying 100 Sifang coins a day and spending ten days to build.
As for the large number of people on the second day, she generously built 10 more dormitories, and combined them with the 2 and 6 apartments built on the right, forming Community No. 2. There were already 15 apartment buildings on the left, which was Community No. 1.
There are too many buildings, so you need to plan them well, otherwise the whole map will be a mess.
This residential building is designed with two elevators and eight households, with a total of thirty floors. However, looking at the drawings, the entire building is located on a very large site. It is probably not the type of building that people used to live in. It is estimated that one building can accommodate about a thousand people.
This type of apartment is much larger than an apartment, and the rental and purchase costs will also be higher. The system gives a rental fee of 1,000 crystal cores, and the purchase cost is 30,000 crystal cores. The price is much higher than an apartment.
Of course, the configuration inside is also much higher, with two bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, one bathroom and a balcony, which can meet the needs of most families.
Considering that the current demand is not very large, we will temporarily start construction of five buildings and complete them ahead of schedule.
And Shi Jiu noted below that they can apply for all these jobs, but they can only apply for one job and cannot apply consecutively.
It is better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality. All the videos and resumes will be screened by 001, and those that do not meet the requirements will be returned. Of course, you will not starve to death, and you can still do many daily tasks to maintain your daily needs.
In addition to the buildings, the breeding area has also been updated. Not only is there an additional breeding area similar to a fish pond, where fish fry, shrimp fry, etc. can be released, the farmland has also been upgraded and an orchard area has been separated.
Fruits also need to be arranged. Previously, they were planted by obtaining seeds from the small dark room, but the yield was not much, and they were only occasionally sold in the restaurant after meals.
They are always sold out quickly. Now that the orchard is open, the corresponding saplings are also available for purchase.
Shi Jiu stayed up all night and when he woke up in the morning, he still felt a little tired, as if he had not gotten enough sleep.
"Boss, many people outside are discussing the changes in the villa, and there are many new things." After Qin Lou saw her come out, he stepped forward to tell her what happened this morning.
"Ah, it's okay, they'll get used to it." She forgot that now that there are more people around, the discussion will naturally be high, but it's not a bad thing.
"By the way, Xiao Qin, go hire more people. Don't have the front desk staff on duty during normal hours. Also, have Wang Yue and the others work in the office building next door. Let the people below handle the affairs of the villa."
Shi Jiu remembered the office building that the system had given him as a gift yesterday. It landed directly next to the main building, at the side door on the left side of the main gate, facing the main building, so he operated it on the tablet on the spot.
The area behind the counter used to be the staff dormitory. After some operations, her room and the three small doors of the warehouse have now become warehouses. She has moved her residence to the top floor of the office building.
Now that there are more people in the main building, it’s always not so convenient for them to come in and out here.
Moreover, the farm and ranch that were previously on the first floor were moved out to the vicinity of the farmland due to yesterday's upgrade and became two independent buildings. However, no one could enter without Shi Jiu's permission.
The restaurant was expanded again, divided into two independent five-story cafeterias, which were located at the front of the streets on both sides, attracting a lot of attention.
The current main building completely retains only the elements of the previous hotel accommodation, and also incorporates the mission hall and short rest functions.
She stretched herself and said, "There are more and more people coming in now, and the staff team needs to be expanded!"
Qin Lou was writing down what needed to be done after the change. "Oh, Boss, someone from the A City Shelter just came to me and told me that if nothing unexpected happens, about 7,000 people will be here by noon."
Shi Jiu drank some warm water to moisten his throat, "By the way? Are those three thousand people okay this morning?"
She suddenly realized that she didn't show up last night. Was this... not polite?
Qin Lou went to check when he got up in the morning. Nothing happened. He shook his head and said, "Yin Xue and Captain Yang Tian went to the dormitory building this morning. They brought them here on time for breakfast and then went back. Nothing happened."
Shi Jiu thought that if so many people came at noon, he would have to arrange for them to eat first, or maybe have a hot pot!
She didn't know what they came to talk about, she just wanted to take advantage of their bodies.
Give her some experience points! It would be even better if she could stay!
Suddenly, she realized that these people weren't here to settle down. If they were to leave, how would their experience points be calculated?!
It has already increased, it won’t be reduced, right?
The author has something to say:
The experience value in the previous chapter has been adjusted. It should not be reset to zero, but 26560.
It's August already~
