As everybody looked on, the three hundred or so new recruits left with their new employers.
Their departure had left all sorts of topics for the others to talk about. Of course, the most talked about topic among all of them were the massive amount of resources that the Cheng’s have.
Other than that subject, many others looked up to Sacred Land Zhongyuan. Surely but surely, many had already reviewed being able to join the Cheng’s as a prestige.
Luckily, the Cheng’s had reserved the entire inn today so they had enough room to accommodate everyone.
After dinner, the ones there were recruited today were also sent into the forest within the dimension. What they had in front of them were one whole day and night of challenges.
After everything had been settled, Cheng Xiao Xiao, Mo Xuanzun, First Elder and Elder Ying all sat in a room together. First Elder let out a long sigh, “This was finally all taken care of. Miss, how are you going to arrange everyone?”
The original purpose was to recruit for the Count’s Court. Nobody expected 300 recruits over the course of 3 days. With the headcount exceeded by so much, the natural next question was the arrangement with regards to these individuals.
Cheng Xiao Xiao casted him a glance and asked, “First Elder, how many people do you need here?”
“For the purpose of helping out, 100 or so should be enough. Of course, we wouldn’t mind a few more.”
First Elder named the number directly. The Count’s Court was built for Cheng Biyuan’s noble status. As the Lord of a city, the scale must be there. There were a lot of matters that needed taken care of and his tens of men under him just wasn’t enough.
“Okay, I will send you 150 tomorrow. The rest will go back with me. How does that sound?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao.
“Excellent. It would be much easier with the addition of 150 more heads!” nodded First Elder. Seemingly recalled something else, he asked again, “Oh yes, Miss, I’ve noticed that the group recruited 2 days ago seemed….”
“Exactly, you wouldn’t have to worry about loyalty with them.” Smiled Cheng Xiao Xiao and gave him a definitive answer.
First Elder looked a bit surprised but he didn’t ask any further. He would figure it out sooner or later anyway. “If that’s the case, Miss, can you also assign an elder to me to help me out as well?”
“Sure. That’s not a problem at all!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded. They had recruited six elders this time. There were plenty of them to go around. She then asked “How are we doing with money? Do you need some more? I can ask Uncle Zhou when I get back.”
“Yes, I was just about to bring that up. After all, we have just added an extra 100 or so people who will need to be fed. I am down a several thousand gold coins already.”
The Cheng’s had been using the gold coins ever since Cheng Xiao Xiao had produced them, as they were much easier to carry around.
“Okay, I will give you $50,000 in gold coins. You let me know when you run out again.”
The gold coins that little Yuteng had sent out had already been stored inside Cheng Xiao Xiao’s dimension ring, so she produced them for First Elder right away.
“$50,000?” First Elder was a little dumbfounded when he first heard the number, but he quickly smiled bitter. Nothing with the Cheng’s should be a surprise anymore.
Everybody knew that the Cheng’s have gold coins and that they were all from this girl. The ones who didn’t know better would think that the Cheng’s had struck gold. In fact, nobody had any idea where these gold coins come from.
Cheng Xiao Xiao could figure out what was going through his mind by his look alone. She did not elaborate on it but said immediately, “Elder, we will be department tomorrow and leaving the matters here in your hands. If you run into any trouble, don’t hesitation to send us a message that Sacred Land Zhongyuan. We will rush over here as soon as we could.
“Don’t worry, Miss. I understand.” Nodded the Elder.
At this very moment, Old Man Ying sighed and said, “We have been gone for 4 days and should head home soon. Home is always the best. Having to stay somewhere else was never comfortable.
