Chapter 83 Chapter 83 [Congratulations on obtaining the "Dream Library"...
The people who came in were also old employees, who had only arrived at the farm a little later than Wang Xu. They had seen several waves of people coming from outside, whether they came to seek refuge or to consume.
It must not be an ordinary scene to make him so startled.
Ye Mian paused, then simply closed the system interface, stood up and said, "Go out and take a look."
Wang Xu immediately followed. Although he had prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked when he walked out of the restaurant and came to the flower bed in front of the gate and saw the dense traffic outside: "This, is there a traffic jam?"
"Hmm..." Ye Mian took out a bottle of carrot juice and took a sip. Then he looked over and found that not only the farm gate, but also the highway in the distance was crowded with cars, winding all the way like a long worm.
There were also quite a few military trucks, which were heavily loaded with people or cargo.
Ye Mian's expression changed several times.
With this attitude, even if you say that everyone in the entire shelter has come, some people will believe it.
How did Jiang Zixing convince these people to migrate here from far away?
Or is there another reason?
If it's the latter, I'm afraid it won't be good news.
But no matter which possibility it is, with such a big event, Ye Mian has to show up in person.
"Go find Xue Kai and ask him to bring a few people over to help."
Although not all of those people are willing to become employees of the farm, they have to register and redeem points when they come in. They cannot just block them outside or let them in for free.
After explaining things to Wang Xu who had recovered from his shock, Ye Mian immediately went straight into the security room.
Hou Rong was already negotiating with the visitors, and there were several security guards standing by, ready to share the work at any time.
Seeing Ye Mian coming in person, they all breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they became more confident and felt no fear in the face of a visitor whose identity and background were obviously not simple.
After confirming that the cars outside were all together, Ye Mian temporarily let only two people in, and then took them to the lounge to sit down and talk in detail.
The two people were a man and a woman. The man was in his thirties. Although he was only wearing a simple white T-shirt and black pants, it was not difficult to tell from his overall aura and his extremely upright standing and sitting posture that he was from a military background and had made considerable military achievements.
The woman was a few years younger than him. She was dressed simply but elegantly and had a remarkable temperament.
They came from Lan City in the neighboring Ning Province, and the woman was the daughter of the richest man in Lan City.
Because they were well-informed, they were responsible for obtaining government approval and contributing money and manpower to build a shelter that could withstand natural disasters and defend against foreign enemies, which could be described as an iron wall. They also stockpiled a large amount of supplies in advance.
But because prevention was taken too early and a group of people moved in first, the shelter fell into chaos when the mutation came, many people died, and nearly one-third of the supplies were lost.
But this was just one of the reasons why they planned to move here after meeting Jiang Zixing and hearing him mention the farm.
There is another important reason.
Ning Province has many mountains and forests, and has several times more birds and animals than other provinces and cities, most of which are wild.
At first they did not take it seriously. After all, the shelter was strong enough and had many defense mechanisms. However, there was always a loophole. They originally considered that water sources were of vital importance and perhaps they could find a way to purify it in the future, so they opened up groundwater in the shelter and built pipes in all directions.
The problem lies with the water pipes that connect everything.
At first it was the excrement of mutant beasts, and later it turned into all kinds of horrible insect eggs and fish eggs. Although they have not suffered any substantial harm for the time being, they know that just blocking the pipe will not work, and they must leave.
The journey from Ning Province was not peaceful. Not only were the mutant beasts very ferocious, but the mutants were also cunning and difficult to deal with.
If they did not have enough combat power and weapons and ammunition, they would not have successfully left the territory of Ning Province by blowing up a bridge several thousand meters long built over the abyss to cut off their retreat.
Of course, they dared to blow it up because the bridge was just one of the ways out of Ning Province.
After hearing about their experiences and that there were more than 2,000 people in their group, Ye Mian looked at the two of them. His face remained expressionless, but his heart was filled with joy.
It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. She had just thought about contracting the business, and the farm was about to be upgraded again, so the right candidate came to her.
What's more, one of them has high skills and combat power, so he is naturally unwilling to go to the field team and obey Lu Ning's command.
A person who has a large amount of materials and manpower can never be an employee under someone else.
It would be a good opportunity to allocate a piece of land to them, let them plant and build on their own, and leave the planning to them themselves, which would save a lot of trouble.
When Ye Mian made this suggestion, the two were stunned at first, and then agreed without thinking.
"Okay, let's talk about the terms of the contract."
After the negotiation was completed and the contract was signed, we gathered all the people outside in, registered them one by one, and settled them down. Most of the day had passed.
Seeing that it was already evening inside the farm, but still bright outside with the sun shining brightly overhead, everyone finally put aside their anxiety and cheered to celebrate.
Ye Mian did not stay to watch the carnival. After leaving all the follow-up matters to Xue Kai, Zhou Jingshu and others, she found Wang Xu again and opened the level gift package.

library?
Is it the kind that comes with its own collection of thousands of books?
Ye Mian raised his eyebrows slightly, suppressed the expectations in his heart, and clicked on the improved drawing to check it out.
["Textile Processing Factory" (upgradable)]
"Hmm? Upgradable?"
Was it just a weaving factory at the beginning, and later became a garment factory, a shoe and bag processing factory, etc.?
The only thing that is certain is that, just like the previous food processing factory, points will be required to unlock different technologies and assembly lines, and upgrades will definitely require points, and most likely not a small amount.
The construction team had already built a factory area, and they could start work as long as they selected suitable managers. Ye Mian put it on hold for the time being and went to the open space specially set aside for raising mutant birds.
In order to make them more worthy of the name of mounts, Ye Mian specially had saddle-like seats made for them, and equipped them with safety belts and reins, so that they could sit steadily and control the direction at any time.
The few crows that were tamed with the cooperation of Jiang Zixing were ridden away by the field team, and the only one left was the crow that Ye Mian brought back from Cang City.
It is said to be brought, but in fact it was found by itself.
——Ye Mian had feathers and left in a flash. Only when he returned to the farm did he remember that he had lost a bird. Unexpectedly, it came back the next day. Because it had been tamed, the farm did not stop it.
So this is Ye Mian’s first time riding it.
The purpose was simple. She wanted to take a good look at the newly expanded farm from a high vantage point.
Only then can we confirm where the new library and fountain should be placed, and where the new people from Lan City, Ning Province should be arranged.
After spending half an hour inspecting the area several times, Ye Mian made a decision.
After all, they are the first batch of candidates to officially contract the land. They have no experience and the farm does not have any specific regulations yet, so it is better to be close to them so that they can communicate with each other at any time.
So they continued to follow the previous plan and expanded to the building area on the right side of the small building, and then paved a road in the middle with the library as the dividing line to separate the two sides.
Although there used to be a forest on the right side, it has now been razed to the ground by the automatic expansion of the system. It is not a problem to reclaim the land for planting or to build houses, shops, or factories.
As for the specific area of the land to be divided, it will be left to Chen Hong and his team to measure it carefully.
After patiently arranging all this matter, Ye Mian calculated that Lu Ning, who said he was going back to the farm, should be arriving soon, so he informed Xue Kai and Chen Jia, went to the designated location first, and lit up the dream library in the system warehouse to start construction.
While the system was being constructed, she also placed the fountain landscape in front of the library. Later, she paved the surrounding area, planted some trees and built some flower beds. It can be used as a square for walking and playing, as well as a small park for leisure and relaxation.
When Xue Kai, Chen Jia, and Lu Ning, who had just returned from outside, arrived by car one after another, they saw a three-story library built out of thin air, and in front of them a fountain like blooming flowers constantly sprayed cool water.
They had seen the fish pond landscaping and workshop first, which was not particularly surprising at the moment, but when they got closer they found an unexpected surprise.
"Hey, how come this water droplet... just condensed?"
Chen Jia liked fountains, so she trotted over immediately and stretched out her hand to catch the water, but ended up catching a hand full of crystal clear solidified water droplets.
Ye Mian looked at her hand, then looked at the similar water droplets scattered on the ground around him, then he reached out to take a handful and put it into the system warehouse for inspection.
[Yingzhu: Water for fountain landscaping, lasts for five minutes (exchangeable)]
Ye Mian switched to the exchange function. There were a total of sixteen pearls in this handful, which could be exchanged for one hundred and sixty points with just one click.
That is to say, one bead can be exchanged for ten points. It may not seem like much at first glance, but a little adds up to a lot, right?
Thinking of the pearls scattered all over the ground, Ye Mian couldn't help but hold his forehead and laughed: "Pick up the pearls first."
This time, since I had seen it and knew that I could exchange it for points, I would feel bad if I didn't pick it up. So I'll just leave it to fate in the future. Whoever picks it up will own it, and then I can exchange it for points.
The pearls made of water spread for five minutes, and the four people picked them up for a full five minutes.
Afterwards, they handed the money over to Ye Mian to exchange for points, and after agreeing to split them equally, they walked into the newly built library together.
It seemed ordinary when viewed from the outside just now, but now when they entered, not only Lu Ning, Xue Kai and Chen Jia were stunned, even Ye Mian looked up in slight surprise.
——It’s called a library, but there isn’t a single paper book inside. All are glowing high-tech e-books.
Moreover, the space inside is much larger than imagined, with no end in sight. It is deep and unique, with light falling from the transparent sky, and the stars are soft and not dazzling.
Ye Mian walked to the blue-black counter with an operating screen in the middle, and found, not surprisingly, that there were only the most basic literary categories in the library. The rest of the categories had to be unlocked with points, and borrowing books also required a small amount of points.
However, she called the three people over, and visiting the library was just a casual occasion, the main purpose was for another matter.
So Ye Mian temporarily put aside the matter of unlocking the books, took out two skill books, one purple and one gold, and placed them on the counter, signaling the three people.
"We agreed last time that the remaining one will be given to Xue Kai, and one will be given to Jia Jia. Is that okay with you?"
