Chapter 196 She Eats Very Little
The flying boat was very fast and Wanku Island was not far from Zhongzhou, so in just a few hours, a full boat of people was sent to Longshan Port.
The unknown and panic eroded people's will. Fortunately, in order to avoid population decline, the Fu Lu Shou Chamber of Commerce not only distributed steamed buns to fill their stomachs, but also set up a healing formation to calm the mind and relieve pain.
There are only two kinds of illnesses for the poor: either some pain, or pain that is so severe that one is about to die.
In addition, cough, blindness, deafness, palpitations, asthma, etc. are not considered diseases.
So, as long as the pain is relieved and the money is in hand, most people just sob quietly and wait for an unknown fate.
The gangway was lowered again, and the monks from the Fu Lu Shou Chamber of Commerce waved their hands impatiently, driving the people off the boat.
When they got closer to the ground, they heard shouting in a language that was indeed unfamiliar but they could understand the meaning - it just didn't seem to be directed at them.
"It's calculated based on the number of people registered previously! If there are more or less in the future, the prestige of the community will be deducted simultaneously! Don't try to steal it!"
It was the time when the moon was just rising. It was already early morning in the imperial capital of Blue Star. Most of the players had already logged off, but the players who had made appointments in advance to pick up people from various communities were still full of energy, pushing and shoving each other around an open space in Longshan Port.
This was the "refreshed" population influx that everyone had been informed of in advance. Regardless of gender, age or status, each person would receive 10 yuan, which is equivalent to about 10 spirit stones.
It may not sound like much at first glance, but when actually calculated in silver, it is at least dozens of taels of silver, which is equivalent to the expenses of ordinary people for several years.
However, in addition to purchasing with money, you can also exchange it with the prestige points of the community, and the exchange rate is 5,000 prestige points per person.
The wealthy Chang'an community first set a quota of more than 1,000 people. Although Longshan community had just changed its city-building order, it was the second largest community in the server and registered more than 500 people. Dozens of other communities, big and small, had already divided up all the quotas in less than ten minutes. And some small communities that noticed the news too late, almost didn't get any quota, and could only wait in line.
For the major sects and forces in Guixu Realm, these poor, soul-depleted, and disease-ridden mortals are a burden, and even more so, "animals" that no one cares about even if they are killed. But for the players, especially for those communities that have already begun to seize various production and breeding industries, factories, and workshops, they are resources that are hard to come by! They are wealth! They are GDP!
Therefore, there is only those who cannot grab a spot and get a bye, there is no one who doesn’t want it at all!
However, in order to be relatively fair, the first groups to receive people are those small communities with fewer registered people.
The first community to lead people was called "Gugu Chicken Community", and the leader was [Weiwowushi]. There were only a dozen people in the entire community, but they were all hard-working, so they saw the registration information as soon as possible, and then excitedly emptied their family savings to get... 30 places...
Even this was the result of spending all the hundreds of spirit stones that [Weiwowushishi] had worked so hard to save.
The reason why the players of Cuckoo Chicken Sheyi are so eager to buy population is actually because they opened a chicken farm and are seriously short of manpower.
As long as you come into contact with the native NPCs in Chang'an City, almost no one is willing to do the hard and tiring work in a chicken farm. However, this chicken farm can produce more than a thousand chickens a day, and almost single-handedly supports the entire Taiyin Sect area - including the players, and the price of each chicken is reduced to less than 30 Wen.
By the way, now a string of candied haws at the night market in Chang'an City costs 5 coins! And all of this is the result of the hard work of the players in Gugu Chicken Club taking turns to take care of the chicken farm. Such days...
"I really don't want to do this at all!" [Weiwo50] said with a painful expression.
She handed the notebook in her arms to her companion [Thursday] and said, "You take the names. I haven't written for years and I almost forgot how to write!"
【Thursday】 nodded, took the notebook and charcoal pencil, and waited with 【Micro Me Fifty】.
The gangway quickly landed, and the players finally saw the "refreshed" population, but for a moment, they were all stunned.
Players who live in a peaceful country and affluent times have never seen such "people".
Most of them have dark skin, thin bodies, and numb expressions. Their hair is dirty and messy, like a bird's nest. Most of them are not wearing shoes, and few of them are wearing complete clothes. Some of them are even naked, but it doesn't make people have any special thoughts.
Their faces were covered in dirt and they smelled foul. Even the most miserable people in the most war-torn countries seen in the Blue Star News videos were more decent than these people.
Integrity, morality, and even gender are all luxuries.
Wang Ergou was temporarily pulled over to maintain order. When he saw these people, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Others may think this is a game, but he understands that these are real people.
In this world, there are living, pitiful people.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly. After asking Elder Lu Ying beside him about the number of people in the first batch, he got into the state and started counting 30 people. Then, he carefully called one by one to [Weiwo Fifty] who was still in a daze.
When he counted to the 30th, he heard a panicked and choked cry: "This, this immortal master, can I take my daughter with me? She, she eats very little! It doesn't cost any money..."
“Fuck!”
Wang Ergou couldn't help but curse under his breath, not knowing who he was cursing, but it seemed more like a way of venting.
He quickly took off his robe and wrapped up the skinny little girl who was huddled behind her mother without even wearing pants. Then he gently pushed the mother and daughter to [Micro-Me Fifty] and said, "Can you divide your community into 31 parts?"
【微我５０】was awakened from his dream at this moment, pulled the woman and the little girl over, and nodded rapidly: "I can do it, I can do it! I have plenty of money!"
"Then take your people over there and clear some space! By the way, remember to register the population directly in the community system, and don't forget to pay, otherwise the prestige points will be deducted first by default!"
Wang Ergou warned her, and then glanced at the little girl whose eyes were swollen like walnuts and whose face was covered with tears, and added in a low voice: "Remember to return my clothes to me later. That equipment is very expensive. I bought it privately and had it custom-made by someone!"
