I have millions of wage earners

"I guarantee you won't earn less than you would if you opened your own store."

Flynn said this sentence with particular emphasis, and Flynn had absolute confidence.

For example, the market price of a chair is about 100 copper coins, and the purchase price given by the NPC is at least 90 copper coins.

For the villagers, there won't be much difference between selling the goods to people or selling them to Flynn's NPCs.

Of course, the priority of these villagers is to open their own shop and take care of their ancestral business.

But since the lord has made such a request, the villagers naturally don't dare to contradict the lord - anyway, the lord has promised that he will not let them make less money.

While allowing these ordinary villagers with skills to become lower-level suppliers, Flynn also emphasized again: "If you don't want to make the lord angry, don't conduct private transactions, especially private transactions with brave men are absolutely prohibited."

"Smuggling and trading with brave men will be punished, and those who refuse to change will be expelled from the village."

Maybe sooner or later some villagers will break the rules and smuggle and sell goods to players, but so many NPCs in and outside the village are Flynn's spies, so they can be easily discovered.

Players occasionally buy low-priced goods through informal channels, which will not have an impact on Flynn's monopoly operation.

After all, this is a game!

Isn't it also a common setting in games to purchase low-priced black goods through smuggling NPCs?

…

The large new population has brought sufficient labor force to Flynn - even if many players venture out, the remaining players plus village workers are enough for Flynn to carry out construction.

Flynn organized a team including players and indigenous villagers to conduct a new round of land reclamation and house construction activities.

Dividing fields, laying foundations, plowing land, and moving bricks, players once again showed off their unlimited physical power in front of the newly added villagers.

Seeing that the players were energetic all day long, working like machines without eating, drinking or sleeping, the new villagers were impressed one after another.

"The braves are really powerful. With Lord Flynn and his army of braves in Tudou Village, it seems we can start a new life here with peace of mind."

"With such a powerful brave man, Master Flynn is definitely more than just a village chief."

"Master Flynn now has close to 2,000 people, including hundreds of brave men. His strength has already exceeded that of the average mayor."

"Hehe, the stronger Mr. Flynn is, the more stable our life will be."

"Okay! In order to be worthy of the house assigned to me by Mr. Flynn, I have to work hard, but I can't just sit down in this potato village."

The newly joined villagers are all working hard for their new homes.

Because many of these new villagers have added money themselves, the overall level of their houses is better than those before.

And seeing that the villagers are building their new homes, the players are also very excited.

Although players don't actually need a house, players just want a nest of their own in the game.

Players are willing to spend a lot of money to buy useless houses!

Many people came to Flynn to question him.

"Mr. Fu, where is the promised residence for the brave?"

"Mr. Fu, are you piggybacking again?"

Flynn had actually wanted to sell houses to players for a long time to make money, but the arrival of desert island refugees disrupted Flynn's plan, so he had to be cautious about opening up the player housing system.

Flynn listened to the feedback from the players with a smile, and then said: "Dear heroes, please be patient. I have already made arrangements for planning the residences of the heroes."

"It's almost done. It's done."

After receiving 30,000 gold coins from the refugees, Flynn planned to build his own castle first.

Although Flynn's inner thought is: the players' demands are definitely more important than his own enjoyment as a lord, and everything is for the players.

But considering the defensive function of the castle and potential external enemies, Flynn decided to start construction of the castle directly after the new immigrants' houses were built!

The main building materials of stone, granite and wood are abundant.

In terms of labor force, players plus local villagers are definitely enough - after all, they are not building Neuschwanstein Castle, but just a beggar's version of Little Swan Castle.

So Flynn first found Bilding and announced to Bilding that he was ready to start construction.

After hearing Flynn's announcement, Bilding took off his hat and asked Flynn: "Excuse me, sir, what are you going to do about design?"

"Are you going to fire me and hire a more senior construction engineer?"

Flynn did not answer directly, but settled an account first.

"Bildin, as an apprentice construction engineer, your weekly maintenance fee is 40 grams of mithril powder."

"The designer who can preside over the design and construction of Little Swan Castle is a junior construction engineer. The required mithril powder is 80 grams per week."

"If I hired you and the junior engineer at the same time, I'd be spending $120 a week on the construction engineer, which is way too much."

Bilding nodded and saluted Flynn: "My mission has reached its end. Lord Flynn, please fire me."

"There are always green mountains. Maybe one day when Tudou Village expands again, you will still need me as a construction engineer apprentice."

"Hahaha, fire you, why should I fire you, my friend?" Flynn said in a self-entertaining translation voice: "You are such a loyal assistant to me, and you have always laid the foundation for the construction of my potato village. He has made so much contribution.”

Flynn pointed to the Tudou Village buildings extending far below, and said: "This is the picturesque country of this lord, but this picturesque country is also inseparable from your contribution."

"My friend, you deserve my upgrade."

"For our revolutionary friendship, a mere 400 grams of mithril powder is nothing."

Upgrading the construction engineer apprentice Bildin to a junior engineer requires 10 times the weekly salary, which is 400 grams of mithril powder.

Although 400 grams of mithril powder is not a small number, Flynn feels that upgrading Bilding's 400 grams of powder is worthwhile.

Although Bildin is an NPC, even NPCs can be upgraded. Isn't this a normal game setting?

Whether it is Flynn, the villagers of Potato Village, or the players, they are all used to the architect Bill Ding.

Maintaining the stability of NPCs is very helpful in improving players’ sense of involvement and belonging.

Don’t think that if it’s an NPC, players won’t be emotionally invested in it.

Years of gaming experience tell Flynn that NPC, even if it is just a fictional character in a game, can still attract the love, admiration and love of players.

Game characters can also harvest the emotions of players.

This is especially true when the game is well done and allows players to play it seriously.
