Chapter 94: Reception



Everyone looked at the scenery inside and lost their ability to speak for a moment. The world outside was bleak and desolate. Only some trees with tenacious vitality survived. The others either turned into mutated plants or ended up in the mouths of the mutated plants.

Looking inside, there is a large piece of farmland on the left side near the door. There are quite a few people fiddling with their vegetables in it, and there are even a few cages next to it raising... chickens and ducks?

There is a small stream above the farmland. Even in the current temperature, there is still gurgling water. Many people draw water from the stream to irrigate their farmland.

Looking to the right, there is a large expanse of water comparable to a large lake, with small square areas separated on it like farmland. The water surface ripples under the sunlight and looks extremely clear from a distance.

Even though the weather was cold, many people were standing on the specially built partitions, looking at the water, as if they were discussing something.

They were naturally discussing how many fish or shrimp fry to buy for breeding. In the morning, Shi Jiu also added the long-term task of contracting the fish pond. The price was also based on half an acre as a unit, 50 crystal cores/month.

Orchards have also been arranged next to the farmland. Now, many people have gone to the mission hall to handle the contracting procedures. A few days ago, she wanted to do the vegetable and meat business, and someone rented a shop and planned to start his own business.

It seems that you have ample savings, as you're thinking about starting a business so soon.

She has also replenished the rewards from yesterday's event, and today she is waiting for them to load their crystal cores into the card. As for the rewards for the second event, they can be distributed directly.

"Oh my God! Did I see it right? The top three in yesterday's event were all rewarded with houses?!" When some people saw the message sent by Shi Jiu, they were shocked. What does this mean?

"Oh my god! Such a generous offer! It even says that the first-place prize is a new 90-square-meter house expected to be completed in ten days! Second and third place will get an apartment! I want a free house too, woooooo..."

Where some are happy, others are worried. Now, one or two of them are thinking about how many crystal cores they obtained yesterday, and they plan to invest them all in at once. Some people have already realized that they are destined to have no ranking, so they continue to look at the rewards.

"Ranking between 4th and 20th is not bad either, as you can get three months' rent reduction." It's a very practical reward.

As for the latter, Shijiu adopted the equal treatment award, rewarding fruit gift packs/kitchen gift packs/snack gift packs, etc., which were distributed randomly and the difference was too obvious.

"Ah! Compared with the rent of the house, this big gift package is too terrible." They will not have to go hungry in the villa, so they regard the rent of the house as more important.

"It's better not to give this thing out. Why is the boss so stingy? I've been looking forward to it for so long." When someone saw that the participation prizes were just some small pieces, they couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, with dissatisfaction in their tone.

Many elderly people standing by did not have the energy to participate in the activities. They could at least earn some money for food by setting up a piece of land in the villa. They were originally having fun listening to the rewards, but when they heard that some people did not take these big gift bags seriously, they immediately spoke out loudly.

"How come after a few good days here, you've forgotten all about the time when you couldn't even eat? You went out and killed zombies and got crystal cores, so you obviously made a profit. Now you're still nitpicking? If you don't want the participation reward, don't go and claim it!"

"They only look at how much they get, but they don't see how hard they work to complete the activities launched by the boss."

"That's right, the boss is so kind. He marked the location for you and held an event to encourage you to fight zombies and kill that monster. Maybe the apocalypse will end soon. And you all just sit here and fuss over these things. If you have the ability, you can get them on your own. There are so many tasks and so much work to do today. As long as you work hard, you can buy a house soon according to the house prices in the villa. What's the rush?"

Several old men and women were standing nearby, making fun of those people with ulterior motives until they were in tears. Some people seemed to have their thoughts exposed and quietly left the lobby, not daring to stay any longer.

There are also many people who are shameless and are still thinking of other tricks in their minds after being criticized. It only says to charge the crystal core, but the previous crystal cores can be mixed together, and maybe the first place will be his.

Some people think so, and naturally some people will think carefully. In the past, the boss had many tricks. As for the current villa, they have watched it change little by little. In the end, with an honest mentality, many people only charged the income from the three-day event.

There were also people who hadn't calculated carefully and just filled all their remaining crystal cores into it. So that's it.

Shi Jiu was delighted when he received a large number of crystal cores in the backstage of the room.

"I told you this method would work!" she said proudly to 001.

I was worried before that I wouldn't be able to get the crystal cores from the guests who had lived in the villa for a long time. After all, after so many days, the four coins in the card were enough for them to live on, and most of them would put the crystal cores away in case they needed them in the future.

However, once this activity came out, it was very likely that everyone would invest all their crystal cores in order to get a house. Some people could not tell how much they had received and invested most of their crystal cores. Of course, there were also honest guests who separated their crystal cores in advance.

But these are not important. The important thing is that most of the crystal cores are now in her background. After being charged into the card, they are just a string of data and cannot be taken out.

Of course, the results of the activity are naturally calculated based on the crystal cores obtained in these three days. 001 will help her eliminate the crystal cores that were not obtained in these three days, and the final ranking will be absolutely fair.

"But I won't invest all of it. I'll think of a solution when the time comes." Shi Jiu glanced at the data in the background, nodded with satisfaction, and decided to think about it later.

001 also checked in the background and calculated, "Well! Come on, host!" This ratio is acceptable.

So after Yang Tian received the call from the director and his men who had been waiting at the door for several minutes, they finally regained their voices and immediately started talking at the door.

"Oh my god, I thought that guy was exaggerating, but I didn't expect that!"

"Look at the buildings in the distance. I've been to City B before, but they definitely don't exist here. I don't know how they were built."

"I wouldn't have left City B earlier. This place is... too good..."

Seven thousand people rushed over. Even if the team stretched for several kilometers, they could still see the exceptionally tall main building, several buildings, the thirty-story residential area under construction, and the surrounding misty clouds from afar.

The many teams behind were discussing. There were not only people with superpowers, but also many ordinary people. After all, there were very few people who could awaken superpowers in the early stage. They were a little surprised to see the team stop.

"What are we doing here? Is there something in front?" After a while, people began to whisper.

"I heard some gossip that this is a villa with everything in it, just like the world before the apocalypse. Are we coming here to take this place for ourselves?" Someone recalled some things that happened in City A before. Some shelters would do the same thing, snatching other resources.

"That's not the case... Would our shelter do this?" Some people seemed unable to accept it and couldn't help frowning when they heard this.

"What do you mean by not being able to bear it? Wait until you have nothing to eat or drink and see if you can still hold it in." Some people don't care about this kind of thing. They just want to live a better life.

Just as they were all speculating about this, the team moved, and their entire team was moving slowly in.

Soon, they saw the villa that had been circulating in their gossip. They walked past it and marveled at it in their hearts, and it finally evolved into a sentence.

"No wonder you want to take it for yourself. The things in here... who wouldn't want to own them?"

Shi Jiu had no idea that the group of people coming here were thinking about all these messy things, so he asked Qin Lou to arrange for them to go directly to the cafeteria.

Qin Lou followed Shi Jiu's arrangement and went directly to the door to greet Yang Tian. Seeing the crowd coming from a distance, there was a person among them. Although the figure was not conspicuous, he recognized him at a glance. It turned out to be... the City A he had imagined.

"Captain Yang, you're bringing too many people." Qin Lou looked at the people following behind with an ambiguous look. Although the boss really needs customers, there is no need to bring so many people on a trip. Is he really afraid that something might happen with them?

When I think about it this way, I feel inexplicably unhappy.

Yang Tian looked at Qin Lou's half-smile and realized that bringing so many people with him, and not many of them were important, would indeed bring some threat to the villa. He immediately stepped forward to introduce himself to his director.

"Butler Qin, this is the director of our shelter. Director, this is the main person in charge of the villa." After saying that, he retreated. It was not his turn to speak now.

"Hello, Butler Qin, you are a handsome man." Li Sui smiled and extended his right hand in a friendly manner. Although Qin Lou usually did not like to touch others, he still had basic courtesy. He also extended his left hand and shook hands with the other party.

"Hello, Director Li. I'm the villa's housekeeper. I'm currently in charge of external communications. Since you've all come from so far away, and it's almost noon, why don't you have a meal first and get to know each other?"

Faced with Qin Lou's suggestion, Li Sui certainly had no reason to refuse. Besides, they had to chat for a while at the beginning to build up a good relationship so that they could talk about other things later.

Although some experts and scholars behind the scenes were very curious about the soil suitable for planting, clean running water, etc., and were eager to step forward and ask, they also knew that they had to take one step at a time, so they kept it to themselves and didn't say anything.

It was also good to eat first. They just ate some ordinary dry food to fill their stomachs in the morning.

So nearly a hundred people were arranged into a private room to enjoy a better hot pot meal to warm their bodies. The meals for others were not bad either, with three dishes and one soup, which was definitely nutritious and filling.

Two hours before they arrived, Qin Lou specifically asked Yin Xue to bring another 3,000 people to the cafeteria to make arrangements. They manually prepared large quantities of food in advance and placed them aside, densely packed on a long table with heat preservation function, so that they could be taken away directly.

Everyone was caught off guard by a meal. Looking at the delicious food, whether it was the hot pot feast in the private room or the generous dine-in, their first reaction was...

"There won't be any problems here..."
