Chapter 99 Optimize Products and Encourage Land Reclamation
Blue Star, on the forum.
Running Knife Rat: "Brothers, I'm really at my wit's end. I just attended an auction, and somehow I almost got stabbed into a human stump by the rogue cultivators around here?"
When the stars of the humanoid group shone brightly: "Fortunately, the sect leader was wise and powerful, and led us to escape in advance, otherwise it's really hard to say whether we would have been able to leave."
Running Knife Rat: "By the way, Starry Sky, I also participated in the auction, but I can't see you guys on the first floor... Is there just too many people?"
No sooner had Paodaoshushu posted this message than it sparked a round of teasing from Qunxing and others.
Instantly activating Immortal Mode: "Hahaha, Rat, I knew why you got attacked by the rogue cultivators, turns out you were on the first floor."
Running Rat: "Huh? This... isn't it normal on the first floor?"
A few taels of silver: "Shushu, we're all in the VIP room on the second floor."
When the stars of the humanoid group shone brightly: "Mouse, you know what, that VIP room is really nice. Not only does it have all kinds of free spiritual fruits and refreshments, but more importantly, there are also beautiful maids serving you."
Big Sword: "Hehe..."
I'm Not a Sword Immortal: "What, big sword? Do you want to be sealed away again?"
Big Sword: "Would you believe me if I said I mistyped?"
A day passes in the blink of an eye.
In the Lianyun Mountains, a gentle breeze caresses the face, causing a flock of birds to take flight, while a babbling brook flows by, reflecting the shadows of the trees on its banks.
Outside the Qingxuan Sect, Zhou Yi walked slowly in.
At first glance, a person was sitting on the steps in front of the mountain gate, gazing into the distance, seemingly waiting for someone to return.
"Brother Zhou Yi, you're finally back." Su Qianyue's eyes lit up when she saw Zhou Yi return. She immediately stood up and lightly patted the dust off her skirt.
Seeing the girl sitting in front of the mountain gate, Zhou Yi frowned slightly, his expression showing a hint of confusion.
Su Qianyue, as the only employee of the sect's contribution shop, has come looking for me now. Could it be that something has happened at the contribution shop?
With this thought in mind, Zhou Yi quickly stepped forward and asked, "Qian Yue, what's wrong? Is there a problem with the contribution shop?"
Upon hearing Zhou Yi's question, Su Qianyue opened her red lips as if to make a sound, but suddenly covered her mouth with both hands, her face full of surprise.
"Wow, Brother Zhou Yi, Qian Yue came to see you today about the contribution shop issue, but how did you figure it out?" Su Qian Yue put down her hand, grabbed the hem of her clothes, and looked at Zhou Yi in disbelief.
Zhou Yi smiled and waved his hand, replying, "It's nothing, just wondering what's going on with the contribution shop?"
The contribution shop is the lifeline of the sect, a vital resource for players' combat and leveling up. If any problems arise, it will be the highest priority.
If players run out of resources, how can Zhouyi continue to harvest their luck points?
Seeing this, Su Qianyue no longer hesitated and quickly said, "It's like this, the contribution shop currently has two problems. First, weapons and equipment are very important to many disciples, but the vast majority of weapons in the contribution shop are currently of relatively low quality."
"Many fellow disciples wanted to get new ritual implements and came to the store several times to choose, but in the end they couldn't find one they liked and had to leave empty-handed."
This is a question that should be addressed. Previously, Zhou Yi mostly purchased cheap, secondhand weapons in order to save money.
Now that we have enough spirit stones, we can equip the players with new gear. This will greatly increase their monster-hunting efficiency.
"Okay, I've got it. What's the second question?" Zhou Yi asked, having kept the matter in mind.
Su Qianyue took out a list from her storage bag and handed it to Zhou Yi, letting him browse through it himself.
Zhou Yi took the list, glanced at it briefly, and found that it listed various items from the sect's contribution shop, without any particular issues.
After racking his brains for a moment, he handed the form back to Su Qianyue and asked, "Qianyue, everything on this form looks normal. Do you think there's anything wrong with it?"
Su Qianyue gave Zhou Yi a sly smile, then blinked her big eyes mysteriously twice before explaining, "I think there's a problem with the composition of the goods within the sect."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi still looked puzzled.
Composition of the product?
What is this thing?
Seeing Zhou Yi's puzzled look, Su Qianyue couldn't help but stomp her foot and scolded, "Brother Zhou Yi, you can't even figure out the composition of the product, how can you be so stupid?"
Hearing the girl's words, Zhou Yi smiled helplessly: "Little girl, everyone has their own expertise. I really don't know anything about business, so you'd better explain it to me quickly."
Su Qianyue put her hands on her hips, snorted, and then spoke: "The goods and supplies circulating within a normal sect should not only be combat-related items such as weapons, pills, and talismans."
"We also need spiritual food, spiritual rice and other daily necessities, as well as spiritual materials and medicines, those unprocessed products."
"But our sect only has the former and not the latter, which means that the entire sect has neglected both food production and resource utilization. Brother Zhou Yi, as the sect leader, you should hurry up and catch up."
After hearing Su Qianyue's words, Zhou Yi helplessly rubbed his forehead.
So this little girl really thinks she's Superman.
Since summoning the players, Zhou Yi has had to arrange for them to fight monsters and level up, engage in production, face imminent threats, and deal with other troublesome matters.
And where would they find the time and energy to specifically coordinate and arrange these two secondary aspects of resource utilization and grain production?
But when Zhou Yi thinks about productive labor, his thoughts become lively.
Just because we couldn't do it before doesn't mean we can't do it now. As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, the second best time is now.
At present, Zhouyi has no powerful enemies threatening it, and even its biggest predicament, the spring beast tide, is more than two months away.
There is a real opportunity to lead players to develop production and become self-sufficient.
Zhou Yi pulled himself out of his jumbled thoughts and smiled as he looked at Su Qianyue, who was staring at him with wide eyes, expecting a response.
"Qian Yue is right. These two things were things I hadn't considered before. I'll pay attention to them in the future," Zhou Yi nodded and smiled.
After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked towards the newly cultivated spiritual fields.
Su Qianyue was left standing there, alone and silent.
"Hmph, Brother Zhou Yi is such a careless fellow, he didn't even notice that I've already broken through to the third level of Qi Refining." Su Qianyue pouted and said angrily.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yi had arrived at the place where the players were cultivating the spirit fields.
As dawn broke, the spirit fields were already bustling with activity. Players rolled up their sleeves, wielding hoes to turn the soil, the earth bubbling up with spiritual energy, shimmering with tiny sparkles in the sunlight.
Some people bent down to pick up pebbles, while others pulled the water from the Lingqu Canal. Sweat mixed with mud splattered on their faces, but they couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes.
As long as they cultivate the land diligently and earn enough contribution points, they will soon be able to exchange them for useful magical artifacts.
With this expectation in mind, the players dug down the soil again with their hoes, turning over the fresh soil.
When Cangfeng Mingyue saw Zhou Yi coming over, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
But he soon realized that, judging from the discussions on the forum in recent days, the sect leader should be back around this time.
When Zhou Yi saw the vast wind and bright moon, a sense of curiosity arose in his heart.
He remembered that this guy used to be in charge of managing the spiritual herbs in the sect's spiritual fields. Why did he suddenly come to cultivate the spiritual fields outside the sect?
Zhou Yi, puzzled, stepped forward and asked, "Cangfeng Mingyue, why are you cultivating wasteland outside the sect?"
Cangfeng Mingyue put down his hoe and scratched his head sheepishly.
"Sect Master, it's like this. I've been farming for almost a month now, but the income from my original tasks is far too little. So I have to come here part-time to cultivate wasteland and earn more contribution points." He wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained with a smile.
Zhou Yi was slightly taken aback after hearing this.
What a wonderful farming player! In order to earn more contribution points, he actually takes on two jobs, both of which are farming.
Zhou Yi patted him on the shoulder with a smile and encouraged him, "Good job, keep it up, but don't neglect the cultivation of the spiritual herbs in the spiritual field. That's your top priority. As for contribution points, I've decided to double them for you again."
"Sect Master, what did you say?!" Cangfeng Mingyue's eyes widened, and the straw hat she was wearing trembled slightly with her exclamation.
Zhou Yi nodded: "Yes, that's right, you deserve these contribution points."
"Sect Master, I love... I, Cangfeng Mingyue, will follow you to the death." Cangfeng Mingyue was so excited that she almost knelt down, and she couldn't even organize her words properly for a moment.
Following that, Zhou Yi discussed several matters related to farming with him and also discovered a current predicament faced by the players.
That is, the lack of specialized spiritual plant guidance.
