Three minutes later, the special monsters gathered in Luo Xinglan's living room.
Luo Xinglan looked around and saw seven people in total: her master, the old evil spirit of talismans, Tingting, Becky, the messenger of good and evil, Jenny, and Mr. Lu.
She calculated in her mind that she alone would need several thousand plastics, and each of Sun Zexia and the others would need at least a thousand. So, each special monster would require four thousand plastics, which was a rather large amount.
The old evil spirit with talismans couldn't wait to ask, "Manager, you've summoned us but haven't said anything. Are you just going to stare at us blankly?"
Luo Xinglan said seriously, "I called you here because I want you to help me buy a batch of plastic from the survivors."
Old Evil Talisman: "Buying plastic? What do you need that stuff for?"
Luo Xinglan looked helpless: "As you can see, the island is now practically barren. To rebuild the island, we must plant trees, but watering is a huge project that requires enough fresh water. We also need plastic to make seawater purifiers and pipes. I don't have enough plastic on hand right now, so I can only ask you to help me buy some."
Jenny asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why don't you collect it yourself?"
Luo Xinglan was even more helpless: "I tried. But when I posted the news of buying plastic in the chat channel, the other survivors thought I knew about the next disaster and refused to sell me plastic."
Jenny: "Then they won't sell to us, right?"
Luo Xinglan: "I have a solution for this. You just need to help me with the acquisition. Of course, you won't be doing this for free; you'll receive a certain amount of compensation."
After all, the amount of plastic they purchase is not small, and they have to put in a lot of effort and time to do so.
A certain amount of compensation is still necessary.
But the old charlatan said, "No need for payment."
Luo Xinglan was somewhat surprised: "Are you sure you don't want any payment?"
The old evil spirit coughed twice: "Perfect timing, we also have something that requires your permission. Since you've agreed to our request, we won't ask you for any reward."
Luo Xinglan looked at him cautiously: "Tell me what it is first."
The Old Evil Talisman: "Why are you acting like you're guarding against thieves? Here's the thing, the hurricane not only brought disaster to you survivors, but it also brought disaster to us special monsters. Our island was destroyed and needs to be rebuilt. But you know, we're just a bunch of old, weak, and disabled people, where would we get the energy to rebuild the island? So we were thinking of grabbing a few able-bodied men... oh no, I mean finding some survivors to help us rebuild our home..."
Luo Xinglan was a little confused: "Why don't you just go find the survivors directly?"
The old man with the talisman looked helpless: "We need your permission to issue reconstruction tasks to the survivors! You are the administrator!"
Luo Xinglan nodded: "I see... Okay, I agree."
The old charlatan looked at her suspiciously: "Really? You agreed so easily? Didn't you even take the opportunity to bargain with us?"
Luo Xinglan chuckled: "Rebuilding the island is a good thing, why would I use it to bargain?"
Besides, they also have a mission to restore the island to 80% recovery level.
The special monsters are making the survivors rebuild the island, which will only speed up the process. She'd be happy about that, so why would she stop them?
She wished the island with the special monsters was larger, so that her progress would be guaranteed.
Luo Xinglan then asked, "By the way, when you hire people to rebuild the island, you're not just making them do free manual labor, are you?"
The old evil spirit with talismans chuckled: "Of course not. We're not heartless capitalists. We wouldn't do something like this, taking advantage of someone else's labor."
The previous unscrupulous capitalist, Luo Xinglan, remained silent.
The old evil spirit with the talisman said again, "Of course, we don't have much spare money either, so we give them a living allowance of 300 gold coins a day."
Luo Xinglan: "300 gold coins? That's only enough to buy 6 steamed buns?"
The old evil spirit with talismans said, "What, you still think six steamed buns aren't enough? Six steamed buns a day is enough! Eating too many will cause indigestion."
Luo Xinglan thought about it and didn't refuse.
Rebuilding the island is an inevitable trend. Survivors with a slightly longer-term vision know that the only urgent task at present is to plant trees to restore the island.
Even if the special monsters don't conscript them, they should still plant trees, even if it's just for their own sake.
Thinking about it that way, she had no reason to refuse.
"Of course, in order to encourage everyone to plant more trees, we have also come up with corresponding incentive policies."
The old evil spirit with talismans chuckled again.
"Incentive policies?" Luo Xinglan asked curiously. "You guys have quite a few tricks up your sleeves. What kind of incentive policies are you offering?"
The Old Evil Talisman: "Reward the top 100 people who plant the most trees with vitality points."
"The top 100?" Luo Xinglan asked. "How many people do you plan to send to the island?"
The Old Evil of Talismans: "Not many, I estimate ten thousand would be enough."
Luo Xinglan: "How long do you expect it to take to rebuild the island?"
The old evil spirit with talismans said, "Ten days."
Luo Xinglan frowned: "Ten days is too slow."
The island restoration task only has a one-week deadline; you won't be able to complete it in ten days.
The Old Evil of Talismans: "Then how many days?"
Luo Xinglan: "One day."
The old evil spirit with talismans said, "If it's one day, we'll need to find 100,000 people, which is a bit difficult."
Luo Xinglan: "What difficulties are you facing?"
Fu Zhou Lao Xie: "This task requires each of us to personally distribute the survivors' rafts. If it's spread across 100,000 people, that means each person has to find more than 10,000 survivors. This is too difficult."
Luo Xinglan thought for a moment and said, "How about this? You can delegate the tasks to the robot and let it issue tasks for you. Besides, you can also help me collect plastic while you're issuing tasks. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
The Old Evil Talisman: "Alright. How many robots can you provide?"
Luo Xinglan: "One thousand."
The old evil spirit was shocked: "1000? Then this task will be a piece of cake!"
Luo Xinglan: "Okay, then you should get on with it as soon as possible."
The brief meeting ended quickly.
Meanwhile, a rumor was circulating on the world channel: special monsters were buying up plastic at high prices! Luo Xinglan and the others were buying up plastic in order to profit from the price difference.
Many survivors who learned the "truth" declared that they would take control of their own plastic items! They would absolutely not sell them to Luo Xinglan! They would sell them directly to special monsters!
With all that groundwork laid, when the special monsters actually visited their raft, they agreed to sell the plastic almost without hesitation.
Meanwhile, they also received a mission in a daze: to rebuild the special monster island within a day.
