This game is so weird!

"Hey Night Rain, over here!"

Er Miao waved from the counter where Miley was in charge, "We've selected three alternative locations, come and see which one suits you best."

Night Rain waved, walked around the fountain that several construction workers were building in the center of the hall, and came to the guild service area. He nodded to Miley and looked at the map projected on the table.

"What kinds are there?"

Miley smiled back at Night Rain. Thanks to Er Miao's introduction, the two had become quite familiar with each other. Miley continued, "After Er Miao and the others finished their selection, they chose three positions, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, so it hasn't been decided yet."

"It's mainly because this guy has to pay."

Er Miao patted Ye Yu on the shoulder without any hesitation and said casually, "From now on, Lao Ye will be the boss of our plantation!"

"Oh, okay? Then let me tell you about the three positions, Mr. Night Rain."

"Hey, no, no, just call me Ye Yu."

"Mainly because White Cat and the others invested their money in Welding Emperor and his team, and Second Meow wanted to save it to build a base with Pineapple Bun and the others, so I was the only one with some spare money..."

"Hahaha, just answer when I call you, Boss Ye." Seeing Ye Yu flustered by the teasing, Er Miao patted him with a smile and opened three addresses, introducing them: "The first location is closest to the base, right behind the hill, with convenient transportation, but the nearby land is not well affected by Im Energy."

"The second location is near the road. It is an open space, far from the base, but the soil is fertile and the transportation is convenient. The only problem is that it is relatively short of water. There is no surface water source, and groundwater needs to be extracted by digging deep."

"The third position..."

Seeing that Er Miao didn't speak, Ye Yu looked over curiously, "What's wrong with the third spot?"

"I forgot where the third spot was, haha, I just remember that it was kind of interesting."

"Emmm..."

"Let me introduce it," Miley smiled, switching the map to the latest location as she had been displaying the plantation's location. "The third location is around Montevado, the jewel of Jacinto, only 20 kilometers from the city center."

"Montvado is a port city on the Jacinto Plateau and one of the more prosperous cities that still exists."

"This plantation was acquired because it was breached by the orcs, and the original owner and his family were tragically killed. After being nationalized, it was donated to the guild. Since it was far from the guild and no one intended to use it, it was added to the list of available plants."

"But it should be fine for you. It only takes half an hour to get to the plantation from the guild by flying the Raven helicopter. And it's very close to Montvaldo City. I believe the Security Government Alliance will give you a good price."

Er Miao nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Yes, yes, when we have nothing to do, we can go to the city of the Wei An government to take a stroll, see the local customs and culture, and eat some local delicacies."

Ye Yu also felt that the third location was better, most importantly because it was close to the city, making it convenient for both hiring and selling.

After all, this is a post-apocalyptic world, so the value of various foods should be quite high, at least higher than the price of transporting them back to the base and converting them into biomass.

"Then let's choose the third one!"

"Okay, the plantation authorization and land fee total 250000 contribution points. Since this is a task reward, the authorization is free this time."

Miley connected Night Rain's headset to the terminal. The authorization information for the other seven players had already been entered, and only his was missing.

After completing the data entry, Miley looked up at the eight players present and asked, "Are you sure you want to exchange the mission reward for Montres Plantation? You can change the name after the exchange is successful."

"Sure."

White Cat and Black Duck both nodded. Although it was a team reward, they weren't that interested in simulation management. They thought it would be better to leave it to Night Rain and the others to manage, and then take a share of the profits.

"Okay, the redemption is complete."

Miley uploaded the video file for record-keeping and completed the reward redemption. One electronic voucher was split into eight and sent to the headsets of the eight players present.

"As required by the guild, the owners of the affiliated enterprises enjoy a 50% share of the profits, which will be automatically deducted from the plantation account after the dividends are distributed. Managers holding specific positions will receive a 5% profit share as salary, and another 15% will be used as employee salaries. If not used, it will be included in the enterprise's operating funds along with the remaining 30%."

"The use of business operating funds will be subject to the supervision of the guild, and payments will only be allowed for industry-related content. Profit sharing will only be conducted after profits are made, once a month. Unused funds will automatically accumulate and can be withdrawn at any time."

At this point, Miley stood up and said seriously, "All profits will be used to pay employee salaries first. Bonuses for management and property owners will be paid after salaries and outstanding debts are settled. If profits are insufficient, funds from property owners may be deducted for payment. Please do not delay paying salaries."

"Gulp."

Looking at Miley, who seemed to be emanating black energy behind her, Black Duck swallowed hard. "Then... can we just give up?"

"Of course, you can freely negotiate and buy and sell internally," Miley nodded and resumed her smile, as if she wasn't the one who had just been filled with resentment. "Currently, we only support internal sales or sales to guilds. You can check the reference prices on the industry list page of your smart devices."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu opened the industry page as instructed by the terminal, and a virtual image of a plantation appeared before her eyes.

Without even clicking on the details, a glaring valuation figure in the upper right corner immediately catches the eye—150000.

"15!?"

"Wasn't it supposed to cost 25? How come I only received 15!"

As she spoke, the number in front of Ye Yu jumped again, from 15 to 149000. "How come it's decreased by 1000 again??"

"The 25 is the base's assessed price, which also includes the licensing fee for the personal property - the plantation," Miley explained apologetically. She didn't quite understand the guild's approach either, but what could she do when she was just a working-class person?

"As for the decrease in amount, it may be that some uninvited guests have entered the plantation and are moving or damaging the assets inside."

"Aren't those just thieves and robbers?!"

Night Rain gritted his teeth and said, "Heavens above! What kind of game is this? They're already grinding monsters in there before they've even gotten there yet?"

"Thank you, we'll be right there!"

After speaking to Miley, Night Rain pulled out his rifle from his backpack, checked the bullets, and glared menacingly at White Cat, who was also checking his weapon. "Old White, is there a helicopter? Let's go take care of those shameless old thieves!"

"We've already borrowed one from Quantum Saltfish and the others; it's ready to go anytime."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, Ye Yu led the way out of the guild.

Seeing this, Muyu and Ermiao exchanged a helpless glance. This guy is good in every way, except that he can't stand it when someone tries to steal his money. He even got into a fight with Xiaodeng, who stole his takeout, before.

"Let's go, let's teach those thieves a lesson quietly."

Wooden Fish waved his hand, pulled Old Bin from the battlefield and White Cat along, and followed them out, leaving only Two Cats behind to peek at Miley and ask, "Miley, how much would it cost to exchange for the other two plantations?"
