Cheng Shuili shook her head and opened the chat box with Xinxue: "Go and acquire a transfer card for a garbage station."

If one were to ask where it is easiest to find servants, it would certainly be there.

As for this card... although Cheng Shuili had never seen one, she guessed that they must exist.

After all, trading post transfer cards exist, and since both are special buildings, garbage stations should... they should have them too, right?

But this was just her speculation. Cheng Shuili explained the situation to Xinxue in detail to save her from wasting any effort.

【Xinxue Chuji】: Got it, Boss!

That was taken care of.

What else...

Cheng Shuili rubbed her chin in thought and decided to have a chat with Cloud's Nemesis.

Since the other party could cultivate so many seeds, even if they weren't masters of agriculture, they were certainly better than the few amateurs Cheng Shuili had here.

Even if she couldn't use a territory servant card, they could still sign a few trade contracts. Regardless, she would feel more at ease having them come over to farm her land.

Cheng Shuili made up her mind, opened the chat box with Cloud's Nemesis, and got straight to the point: "Are you interested in deeper cooperation?"

【Cloud's Nemesis】: Big shot?

This reply was a bit strange, as if the person was confirming whether Cheng Shuili was truly herself.

Cheng Shuili repeated her question.

【Cloud's Nemesis】: In that case! We are certainly willing! But... why did you suddenly bring this up, Big shot? Is there something you are dissatisfied with regarding our current mode of cooperation?

It was a different person.

Cheng Shuili couldn't explain exactly why, but she could feel it in that instant.

This message was either sent by that mysterious partner of theirs or guided by them.

Not bad. This time was much faster than the last, and she estimated that the speed of reaching an agreement would also be much faster.

On the other side, Mr. Dumpling knocked Cloud's Nemesis on the head, "What are you talking about, someone stealing the account? This isn't that world."

"Oh, right." Cloud's Nemesis rubbed their head and asked again, "Why did the big shot suddenly come looking for us again? Are they really here to talk about cooperation? We already talked it all through last time. They aren't going to go back on their word, are they? Giving only ten percent is already very excessive! How could they be like this?"

Mr. Dumpling: "......"

Nothing had even been said yet, had it?

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: It is like this. I have recently cleared a few plots of land and would like to hire you to cultivate and manage them for me. I will pay wages for the time being, and after the harvest, I can provide food and housing.

Hearing the notification sound, the two immediately crowded in front of the screen. After reading the content clearly, they looked at each other, both seeing confusion in the other's eyes.

"Do what?"

"Provide food and housing?"

"And pay wages?"

"What?"

Mr. Dumpling shook their head, looked at the screen again, and confirmed they hadn't misread it.

Just to farm a few plots of land, they would get paid, and after the harvest, they would even get food and housing! Their eyes lit up!

They didn't rush to agree, but immediately asked: "If we agree to this, will our previous trades still be valid?"

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Of course, this is a separate trade.

Cheng Shuili replied, then stood up and walked around the vehicle. From now on, she was a person with a home.

Although that place couldn't be lived in yet, she would eventually move there, so she could organize her things in advance.

It was just... Cheng Shuili frowned, suddenly thinking of a very important question.

Could other players enter her territory?

Cheng Shuili looked at Su Rui and, realizing she was her servant and didn't count, immediately checked the time.

It was seven-thirty, but there was still time.

In the five-person group chat:

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Someone come! Someone come!

【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Do you want to use a card?

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Yes.

Practice makes perfect; this time Liang Shanbo immediately used a designated player duel card, and her vehicle appeared next to Cheng Shuili's.

Cheng Shuili was standing outside her own vehicle waiting for her. Seeing her arrive, she immediately stepped forward, took her hand, selected her territory in the system panel, and clicked confirm.

That was how it worked with Su Rui and the others last time, but...

The familiar feeling of teleportation did not come.

Cheng Shuili had a bad feeling. Sure enough, the next moment, a system panel popped up.

【This player does not belong to your private property and cannot be brought into your personal territory!】

Cheng Shuili: "......"

Only private property can be brought in... isn't this requirement too harsh?

Su Rui... a servant certainly counts.

Cheng Shuili accepted the reality and realized in hindsight that they were doomed. In that case... how could Cloud's Nemesis and the others come to work for her?

Cheng Shuili let go of her hand, and even her expression turned somewhat gloomy.

Liang Shanbo blinked her eyes and reached up to scratch her head: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Cheng Shuili frowned, yet she suddenly felt it was reasonable. If there were no such restrictions, and other players or NPCs could enter the territory, what would be the point of the territory servant card?

This card was different from the one used to contract Su Rui. Could it be... that the effects would be different too?

Cheng Shuili couldn't help but sigh. She knew too little about these things right now. But she was already the most knowledgeable person among the players, as the entire territory system had been opened by her! Now, even if she wanted to find someone to ask, there was no one to be found.

Wait...

Cheng Shuili suddenly remembered the special merchant NPC at the gas station that Glory had mentioned.

Perhaps she could ask him.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shuili opened Xinxue's chat box again.

【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Also acquire a transfer card for the gas station.

Xinxue was silent for a moment after seeing the Crow's new message. These two things... do they really exist?

......

After sending the message, Cheng Shuili finally saw Liang Shanbo standing to the side, who was so embarrassed from asking a question and receiving no answer that she was practically digging a hole with her toes.

Cheng Shuili paused, silently led her onto the vehicle, opened the refrigerator to get her a soda, and asked Su Rui to entertain her before going off to busy herself.

Su Rui looked at Cheng Shuili's back, then at Liang Shanbo, who was watching her with wide eyes.

Entertain a guest...?

Her?

Su Rui was silent for a moment, then suddenly pulled a deck of cards from somewhere: "Want to play Go Fish?"

......

Cloud's Nemesis had already replied.

【Cloud's Nemesis】: Big shot, may we ask about the specific wages? Is it in game coins or supplies?

It was reasonable for them to ask this, but now... it would be useless even if they reached an agreement.

If they couldn't enter the manor, how could they farm for her?

Cheng Shuili didn't actually care about these two laborers at all!

The reason she was trying so hard to trick them over was that she was actually coveting the seeds in their possession.

She didn't know the channel to obtain seeds, and there was so much land in the manor...

If she had to buy their cultivated seedlings batch by batch, how long would that take? Moreover, if they knew she had a particularly high demand, it would be normal for them to take the opportunity to raise the price.

Trading was still too troublesome. The best method was to use the territory servant card to turn these two into her own people, once and for all!
