Chapter 1104: 374. If it’s only about prosperity, there are too many loopholes to exploit.

Life is pretty good was a rather unique player among all the small players.

His uniqueness came not only from his dual identity as a combat professional and administrative player but also because he was one of the few "evil alignment" players. Ever since the professions of Cunning Magician and Coffin Bearer were discovered, despite many members of the Appetite Relief Party swearing to try out an evil alignment character, there were only a pitiful few who actually changed their class to Cunning Magician.

Old Huo was the most impressive among them, after all, the profession route of Cunning Magician was discovered by him and Touching Your Poverty together.

Yet, these weren’t enough to make Life is pretty good become an "oddity" among players. His most well-known and much-discussed trait was that he had brought his four secretaries into the game as his dedicated "administrative team."

Stunned Birds and Fallen Geese, Closed Gate Flower, the four young ladies in reality were all outstanding executive managers. They smashed the derogatory term "vase" to pieces while holding administrative positions and receiving high salaries in Old Huo’s company.

They were true workplace elites, capable of competently completing various tasks assigned by their superiors. Even their poor performance in the game couldn’t hide their professionalism. Though players jokingly called them the "Four Golden Flowers" and they occasionally strolled around the streets aimlessly like other players, most of the time they studied Transylvania management diligently at the administrative office.

The four young ladies had entered the game with a purpose, and due to their employment relationship with Old Huo, it was hard for them to truly enjoy the fun of the game—as the beauty of an event fades once it becomes as routine as clocking in for work.

However, it was proven that "Real Different World" indeed had charm, and even the helplessness that came with forced business grew much less.

At this moment, inside the carriage, facing Old Huo’s dissatisfaction with their work, Sister Chen Yu, the eldest of the Four Golden Flowers and working under the in-game name "Sister Chen Yu Plays While at Work," immediately retorted:

"This is the most detailed report and development strategy we could provide based on the current situation and development level of Transylvania. Our proposed plan wasn’t just a brainstorm, but the best solution for Village One, devised based on the advice of Professor Chen!

Professor Chen’s student Brickmover is the lord of Village Five, and he has decided to develop his village into the headquarters of the Mason Brothers’ Association and to establish the Handicraftsman Guild there, to build a base for those with manufacturing professions.

This proposal has already been approved by the administrative office.

Village Five is destined to become a hub for handicraftsman in Transylvania. Given the urgent need for various industrial products on the lord’s land, the development speed of Village Five will undoubtedly be the fastest among the five villages.

We must catch this favorable wind, and what’s best is that the Stonemason Brothers also need assistance from other villages, so this cooperation is almost cost-free.

In conclusion, developing our Village One into a functional village that provides materials and auxiliary services to craftsmen is the plan that will produce results the quickest and with the least investment. The profits it could bring are quite significant!"

"Right!"

Xiuhua, the youngest of the Four Golden Flowers and in-game as "Xiuhua Works for Time Off," also reasoned firmly with her boss:

"Sister Chen Yu’s explanation is very clear, boss. The plan we chose for you is the ’less investment, quick results’ approach, so you don’t need to put in extra effort and time. We four can easily handle the administrative investment the current plan requires. You just need to hold the title and then follow Little Brother Fu to explore the world."

"I’m not saying your plan is bad, sisters."

Life is pretty good shook his head.

He wasn’t a bad boss. Realizing that his administrative team hadn’t understood his point, he stroked the Sickle of Backbone he kept by his side as he explained methodically:

"I know your strategy is about minimizing risks while maximizing profits as much as possible—it’s a very prudent investment approach. However, we’re not making investments right now, and I’m not asking you to take a sum of money and guarantee to return it to me several times over within a certain period of time.

In the end, this isn’t business!

I think I understand why your plan ended up the way it did—you haven’t yet turned the corner from your previous thought pattern. But for this matter itself, I need you to step out of the mindset of purely chasing profits.

Your ideas aren’t wrong; they’re just not what I need at the moment.

I am first and foremost an appointed lord, and only secondary a profit-seeking businessman. Therefore, for my administrative profession, political returns are far more important than simple monetary gains.

I need a rapid increase in development level in a short time, not just to fill my pockets with money.

Moreover, if we follow your plan and build my village into a place that provides supporting services for the Stonemason Brothers, it means that my village’s development will inevitably be limited by the expansion speed of the Stonemason Brothers.

Professor Chen is currently under great pressure to build, and he doesn’t have the time to develop his Stonemason Brotherhood while Brickmover, though articulate, is just a student with virtually no experience in this area.

This means that the development level of our village will fall behind the remaining three villages.

Plus, I’ve talked with Tepar—the lord of ’Novice Village’ has good ideas, and his village might take off in a month or two!"
