Chapter 582: The Years When I Was the Village Chief in the Game_3

Gebao nodded thoughtfully and asked:

"And where are the three ’gentlemen’ going to work?"

"To the pioneer camp! The NPC said we have to ’intern’ there for ten days before we’re assigned specific locations for duty."

Traveler Little Sun chimed in:

"We have to help establish a governing system in the current camp and there’s this peculiar ’administrative point system’ for unlocking new positions and various benefits."

"Can the three of you handle it?"

Gebao couldn’t help but worry:

"If you can’t complete the tasks, you’ll be punished by the administration."

"Scared my ass!"

The tallest and most flamboyant of them, Traveler Little Li, crossed his arms in confidence and said:

"We all took human resources management as an elective, we may have never interned before, but managing a group of NPCs should be easy."

"Well, I wouldn’t be so optimistic if I were you."

Half hanging brother, just about to leave after completing his paperwork, couldn’t help but warn:

"Didn’t Little Zhou warn you? The game’s NPCs are much like real people, they have all the vices too—laziness, loafing around, even theft is commonplace. Try for yourself for a day and you’ll know: this isn’t as easy as it seems."

"Half hanging brother, share some of your tips and tricks with us."

The three newbies huddled up to seek guidance from the veteran administrative player. If they had a packet of cigarettes, they would have offered him a light already.

Half hanging brother was more than willing to share his experience, he just doubted if these youngsters could take it in.

Finally, he just said bluntly:

"Just read more literature, something like prison management or concentration camp memoirs..."

"Holy crap! Isn’t that inhuman?"

Little Wang exclaimed, only to be met with Half hanging brother shaking his head:

"You’ll realize once you start the task, this game simulates a dark fantasy medieval era! 90% of Transylvania’s residents are illiterate and even have communication problems. They are rude and fight-prone, if it wasn’t for the work points system, they would fight over the most trivial things.

This is not like our reality, where every worker can write their own name. So, you guys must employ more effective methods to manage them properly.

Of course, it’s just a suggestion.

If you think you can motivate them to work hard with genuine emotions and ideals, remember to let me know so I can observe and learn.

I shall take my leave.

We should get together for tea sometime."

After saying this, Half hanging brother spurred his horse and left, escorted by four female guards, leaving the group in a state of mutual contemplation.

"Let’s go, let’s go pick out some guards! We need to pick out two good-looking ones for a simulation game."

Even though they were complaining about administrative work just now, they seemed to have taken an interest.

Having received his assigned old horse from the administration stable nearby, he got on gingerly and adeptly nudged the horse with his heels—an obvious sign of good horse riding skills in reality.

He had some knowledge about horses.

Looking at his own horse then at Traveler Little Li’s more majestic battle steed, he couldn’t help but feel envious. Regardless of the aspect, the battle steed trained by witch hunters using secret techniques was far more formidable than ordinary ride horses.

"What, want one?"

Traveler Little Li noticed his friend’s gaze, and with a smirk, said:

"No problem, just grind the reputation in the Adventurer Guild, you can buy one when you reach Revered. Or try to unlock some hidden profession, and they might reward you with a vehicle."

"Hmph, I’ll have one soon enough!"

Traveler Little Li shrugged, a subtle smile on his face as he said:

"My job task promised, if I complete it successfully, that I can receive a warhorse from Baron Lim as transportation. But where exactly is Baron Lim’s territory? I haven’t unlocked the map yet."

"Oh, it’s in the north."

Traveler Little Li shared the map with his buddy, pointing to the north of the Crimson Castle,

"It’s about an hour away on horseback. But the place is poor and rundown. I completed my Black Iron Trial near there. Did your task assign you as the village chief? How many people are you managing?"

"No, I’m managing a collective farm."

Traveler Little Li carefully read his first mission, saying:

"After a ten-day internship at the camp, if I perform well I can be promoted to ’Deputy Farm Administrator’, with a minimum management quota of 500 people. During my time as deputy administrator, I can appoint a series of positions within the farm.

Phew... the freedom in this game is impressive!

The task content summaries that I have the power of life and death, just like a local despot. It also assigned me a ’punishment quota’!

Every three days I get 10, which allows me to order the farm militia to corporally punish or even imprison certain NPCs.

The first two months of food supply is provided by the Crimson Castle Administrative Office and the Batasin Business Association, but after that, the farm must be self-sustaining. This feels more like a business game to me."

They had a good laugh on the way out of the city, but just after arriving at the pioneer camp, Traveler Little Li regretted it.

From atop his horse, he shook his head thoughtfully and said:

"No, it’s not worth it to exchange two adjunct quotas for guards! Sure, the prestige is there, but whether it’s at the camp or at the farm, there should be militia for protection. In terms of resource maximization, what I, as a manager, need right now is not guards but assistants.

Or more accurately, secretaries!

I must have two competent assistants to help bear some of the workload. Otherwise, I would have to do everything myself, and there would be no point in playing this game.

Let’s go!

Back.

I’ll ask Baroness Milian if I can borrow two of their interns. I saw some kids having a class in the yard when I looked over earlier.

The NPCs are clearly cultivating talent in management.

Phew, the game’s details are so realistic, just like an undeveloped territory."

"But why would you want to find assistants in the game? The literacy rate here is pretty low, and I sometimes have trouble communicating with them."

Traveler Little Li suggested:

"Why not find someone in reality? Call two of those secretaries from your company who always follow you around into the game, worst case scenario, give them some extra money."

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

Traveler Little Li nodded thoughtfully, and while still riding his horse, logged off. His avatar was falling off the horse before Traveler Little Li quickly caught him. Just a few minutes later, he logged back in, gave his buddy an OK sign and said:

"Done. I called four of my secretaries to fill out the application. Two for you and two for me. They’re all top graduates in the management field and are attractive ladies who I personally selected. But, you are paying for their extra salaries."

"Fuck, why do I need assistants? I’m a combat class after all."

Traveler Little Li screamed, covering his face:

"Even Sister Pomegranate gives me a hard time, let alone your professional-grade secretaries. Don’t let them come! I’m having fun here, don’t rain on my parade."

"Nonsense. I keep a respectful distance from a woman like Niu Pomegranate, let alone you."

Traveler Little Li rolled his eyes and said:

"Don’t worry, they’re very obedient. If they dare give you a hard time, just let me know. We will cut their pay."
