Chapter 39
As soon as Ye Qing appeared, he was greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, especially Sanmao, who rushed up and hugged Ye Qing's thighs clingingly.
He touched the top of Sanmao's dark, healthy, soft hair and turned to face the crowd: "Don't worry, everything is going well."
Suddenly everyone cheered: "Yeah! That's great."
"I told the boss that everything is fine. She's so awesome!"
Ye Qing pushed through the crowd and walked out of the encirclement. Zeng Yi, who had been waiting outside, came over and handed her a bottle of water: "Are you tired?"
For some reason, Ye Qing felt a little different when facing him, probably because he had seen Lin Zhi and Xiao Jiu get along so much. "I'm tired. You don't know how badly I slept last night."
This is the first time I’ve been away from the shelter for more than a day, and I missed it quite a bit.
Zeng Yi waited patiently for her to finish her water before replying, "You're so tired, so you probably don't want to hear my report on today's work, right?"
Ye Qing quickly shook his head: "Hey hey hey, I still have the energy to listen to the report."
Zeng Yi couldn't help but smile, with a look of obvious amusement on his face.
Ye Qing reacted immediately. She slapped Zeng Yi's arm hard and said insincerely: "I'm the boss. If you dare to lie to me again, I will reduce your salary."
The two walked into the room, and the scene just now fell into everyone's eyes without a moment's delay.
Li Yuanyuan laughed, her eyes showing pink hearts: "It's really nice."
Deng Hailong immediately leaned forward, looking puzzled: "What are you talking about?"
Li Yuanyuan glanced at him and ran away: "Straight man, you don't understand!"
Deng Hailong immediately caught up: "Why don't I understand? Explain it to me!"
Today, except for a small number of people who were slightly injured, there were no casualties in the Taoyuan Shelter. Qian Fei, as a member of the medical team, performed his duties faithfully throughout and handled the logistics and medical work in an orderly manner.
Finally, all the inventory work was completed and the results were handed over to Ye Qing.
"Today, we've seized 1 million crystal cores, 20 pieces of ivory, 50 pieces of crocodile skin, 100 pieces of snake venom, and 8,000 pieces of wolf fangs..."
Ye Qing was dazzled by the list of supplies, especially the 1 million crystal cores. She had worked so hard for so many days to collect them, but the supplies she captured from the beast tide on this day were not as much as she could get. It was really great!
"Including our staff and support personnel, there are over 1,000 people fighting the beast tide today. Including three days of training, it will take up four days of our time. Currently, only Shanhai City's treatment is available for reference. Participation in Shanhai City is mandatory, and participants are provided with mashed potatoes three times a day, and each person is given a daily subsidy of 20 crystal cores."
Hearing this number, Ye Qing couldn't help but exclaimed: "So little?"
Zeng Yi nodded. "Yes, firstly, their harvest was probably not as rich as ours, and secondly, most of it was embezzled by Sun Dazhuang."
Thinking of the magnificent artificial sky above the City Lord's Mansion, Sun Dazhuang, who had already gone to hell, was dug out by Ye Qing and scolded again.
"Okay, then we'll give each person 100 crystal cores per day. That's 400 crystal cores in total for four days, which will cover their rent and still leave some money over."
"But this is just the base salary. Mid- to high-level psychics like Zhou Xiaohua and Zhu Ke will surely make greater contributions, so we'll give them additional subsidies."
"Okay, here are the details of today's participants."
"Low-level psychics will receive a subsidy of 400 crystal cores each, mid-level psychics will receive 1,000, and high-level psychics will receive 5,000. Meanwhile, high-level psychics can choose any piece of loot."
The higher you go, the harder it is to upgrade, and the corresponding strength is also higher. They deserve all of this.
Zeng Yi quickly calculated and reported a number: "There are 400,000 crystal cores left."
This figure was within Ye Qing's expectations. Her shield played a significant role in the beast tide, and providing meals for the staff these days also required expenses. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this."
In recent days, the combat troops have had free meals, and everyone has eaten a lot, so the growth of the crystal cores has been particularly slow. However, I didn't expect that after the beast tide ended, the balance would increase dramatically.
After the discussion, Ye Qing took Zeng Yi to distribute the rewards. She was in front and Zeng Yi followed behind with a piggy bank.
When it was time for dinner, everyone squatted in the open space in front of the shelter with a large bowl of food in their hands. Their bowls were filled to the brim. This was the last free dinner, and everyone cherished it very much.
After a few days of training, everyone became more familiar with each other and gathered together to discuss.
Passerby A: "How many crystal cores will the boss give us?"
Passerby B: "This is my first time doing this, and I don't understand the market."
Passerby Ding: "Shanhai City gives out 20 crystal cores every day, and 3 meals of potato soup are provided during the term of service."
Passerby A: "Stop talking about potato soup! I get physically nauseous just hearing the name. You don't know how many years I've been eating potato soup."
Passerby Ding: "The combat conditions in Shanhai City are very high, and the food is so bad that they only give 20 crystal cores. The boss provides such good food, such good weapons and a protective shield to protect our safety. I would do it without money just for the free three meals a day. But I guess the boss will definitely give it, hehe, no matter how much or how little, it's a profit!"
Passerby B: "That's true. This meal alone is worth 15 crystal cores, right?"
Passerby Ding: "You know what, the boss is really generous. There are so many dishes to choose from, but I never waste anything. I order as much as I can eat."
Passerby A: "Who isn't? We've all experienced hard times, so we know how precious food is."
"Hush, the boss is out, and Butler Zeng is still holding a money jar."
The noise suddenly stopped, and these people stopped eating and stared at Ye Qing's every move.
Zeng Yi set up a chair in front of the glass door. After Ye Qing sat down, he handed her the piggy bank. Then he took out a notebook and announced loudly: "I'll call a name and you can come up and get one. Don't worry, everyone will get one."
The phrase "everyone has a share" carries great weight, and the people who have been eagerly waiting are suddenly overjoyed, wishing that they would be the next one to be called.
"Zhang Dahua, Li Fei, Wang Tao, Duan Zhipeng..."
The first group to call out were ordinary people. Ye Qing distributed 400 crystal cores to each of them. When they received the heavy small bag of crystal cores, they immediately smiled. They gathered with people they knew and carefully counted them one by one. The more they heard, the louder they shouted.
"400 Crystal Cores! Holy crap! I actually earned 400 Crystal Cores in just 4 days! I'm just the logistics guy!"
"I don't have to worry about rent for the next 40 days, haha~"
"I intend to spend two-quarters on rent, a quarter on clothes, and the rest on some Fort Canning. Only when I'm in better health will I have a chance to earn more money."
"Hey, I finally have some savings, I'm not a day-dreamer anymore!"
As the owner of the shelter and the city lord, it is her duty to ensure the happiness of her subordinates. Now, looking at their smiling faces, Ye Qing felt a strong sense of satisfaction in her heart.
Next, low-level and mid-level psychics went up to receive the crystal cores.
Except for Captain Zhou Xiaohua, all other members of the Flying Tigers started at the mid-level. Each of them received a basic salary of 400 and a mid-level ability subsidy of 1,000, a total of 1,400 crystal cores, which is a huge sum of money anywhere in the apocalypse!
Li Meng carefully hid the crystal core into his inner pocket, rubbing it with his palm from time to time. A coat costs 80 crystal cores, which can buy more than ten pieces of clothing!
This job is much more convenient than hunting in a dangerous forest. First of all, safety is guaranteed. Secondly, three meals a day are provided. God knows how much of her savings those delicacies will cost.
In the end, only team leader Zhou Xiaohua had not received the reward. They were eagerly waiting and staring at the captain who was collecting the money at the door, wondering how much he would get.
"1,000 is the limit for us. The captain is a high-level psychic, so it's definitely more!"
"I'm so envious. High-level abilities are great."
"What are you envious of? With great ability comes great responsibility. Didn't you see that most of those strange beasts were fought by Butler Zeng and our captain?"
"Hehe, that's right, our captain is worth that much money."
Not only the Flying Tigers members were looking forward to it, but others were also staring eagerly. The group of people standing in the front saw the whole process of Ye Qing handing out money, and their screams were already breaking the sky.
Finally, Zhou Xiaohua came down, his trouser pockets were bulging, and there was also a long tusk in it.
The Flying Tigers immediately surrounded him, some lifting ivory tusks, some massaging shoulders, and they were busy having fun.
Li Meng stared at Zhou Xiaohua's pocket eagerly: "Captain, how many crystal cores did you take?"
Zhou Xiaohua just smiled and said nothing.
Those who knew him well guessed the captain's mentality at a glance and said "Congratulations" and "Congratulations".
There were even lively and enthusiastic people like Li Meng who clamored to treat us to a meal: "Captain, you got such a big bonus, you have to treat us to a good meal!"
Others followed suit and said, "Treat! Treat!"
Zhou Xiaohua agreed generously: "Okay, everyone can eat as much as you want tomorrow night."
The restaurant's Liuyang steamed dishes are cheap, with meat dishes costing 10 crystal cores, half-meat and half-vegetarian dishes costing 5 crystal cores, and vegetarian dishes costing 3 crystal cores. With a bonus of 5,000, it wouldn't cost much even if you ordered all of them.
With another free meal, the team members excitedly showed off everywhere. Zhou Xiaohua squeezed out of the encirclement and came to Xiao Yihong. She had been standing on the outside, watching these young teammates making noise with a loving face.
When the captain came out, he said, "Congratulations!"
Zhou Xiaohua shook his head, a little embarrassed: "What gift do you want? I'll give it to you."
Before, he always gave gifts to Xiao's mother on the pretext that she was taking care of Xiaoya. Now Xiao Yihong was a little uncomfortable with such directness.
She frantically turned her head to check on the others' reactions. Seeing that her teammates were all immersed in the joy of the bonus and the free meal, she whispered, "It's all... all right."
Such a high-profile money-giving event attracted many spectators who did not participate in the beast tide war. They were regretting it a thousand times at this moment. Even if they did not have the ability to fight the strange beasts, it would be a good idea to apply for a logistics position to serve tea and water!
Some people asked Ye Qing pitifully, "Boss, are you hiring next time?"
Ye Qing understood their feelings very well and consoled them with a smile: "We are recruiting, first come first served."
After getting the boss's confirmation, these people left reluctantly and secretly made up their minds to give it a try next time the beast tide came.
After everyone took the crystal core and left, Ye Qing called all the employees together: "You have worked hard these past few days. The bonuses they have, you will also have."
Having said that, he distributed the money at an average rate of 400 yuan per person.
The little beggar screamed the loudest: "We have it too? Oh my God!"
They are employees of the shelter and receive daily wages, so it is reasonable that they are not paid.
Ye Qing nodded: "Yes, because the population of the shelter has increased, the work you do is several times more than before, plus you have been helping out everywhere these days, so it's only right that you distribute these bonuses."
The employees were particularly happy that their work was recognized by the boss and secretly vowed to cherish this job.
Finally, Ye Qing took out 10,000 crystal cores and handed them to Zeng Yi: "I heard that you made the greatest contribution today, this is a reward for you."
Zeng Yi took the fist-sized level five crystal core and couldn't hide his smile. "Then I want to move to a two-bedroom apartment, is that okay?"
"Of course, you can use your money however you want."
